No idea if I am posting it in correct location. Sorry if not.
Is there a list of all devices than can run custom roms and are fully unlocked? My HD7 dies and want something new but do not want to get stuck with a locked device some homebrew apps are a must!!
Any links if there is a thread like this?

That's not true, there are also custom roms for the Lumia 710. (Even though it doesn't have a front facing camera so I'm not sure how much second gen it is)
Aha but Lumia800 can custom rom aside there must be more phones where we can do full unlock?

[INFO] List of Unlocks by Type/OEM
Just these few posts show my problem, no one seems to know exactly. Nokia 710 and 800 can be unlocked so I guess can have custom roms. Saying that I need more list of phones that can have full unlocks.

It has been posible for a while now with the windows break project:

You need to NOT have the last firmware update installed on your phone, though.

the firmware update stops it all working, if you used zune there should be a backup made automatically , try rolling back to that.
as for custom roms, I own a focus S, although I don't have it at the moment, and there is almost no activity at all so I wouldn't hold your breath for it,
I have a feeling that there is a flashable rom for yours tho which is getting worked on.

If you updated using zune, a backup should be in there. Zune makes a backup automatically everytime you update.
Just restore to that backup and you might be able to jailbreak it.

theres almost no one working on it due to limited distribution, the focus S is (looks like) an amazing device but because its wrapped up with AT&T in the US it never gained the attention it should have, thus no developers.
Id actually like to have a wee chat with some of the DFT team to find out what we can achieve ourselves, there must be something we can do, a dummies guide to bootloader unlocking needs to be made! hell id even pay for it!

As would I, the focus S is the best WP7 device hands down. Not an opinion, a fact.
Hi,
I just picked up the HTC One M8 Windows Phone edition and so far I'm loving it.
I was wondering whether it is possible to somehow port stock android onto the device rather than having Windows 8.
I know I could just purchase an android version, but I'm kind of just stuck with this for now..
Thanks!

Not at this time. But read around, they are working on a dual boot. Since 99.99999% of all M8 users are already on Android. I'd love to have WP on my M8, so I await it's results.

I actually want the exact opposite (android on my phone).
If they succeed in dual booting the WP on the Android versions of the M8, would it also work the other way around?
Thanks!
Yes they are the same phone

bump!
Has there been any developments on this? I would really like to try android on my wp m8 too.
Hi there,
I know this May be a silly question but my iPhone 5s is getting on my last nerves and this is the only thing holding me back from ordering a Z3 today. Does anyone have any idea when the first custom roms will be out for the z3? I can't stand skinned androids (although I've never owned a Sony handset before).. I just wouldn't want to buy one and having to wait a few months for CM/PA.
Thanks for anyone who replies!

Mate what's wrong wid or iPhone by the way. One of the best phones on the market. Anyways about custom ROMs or PA/CM ROMs might come by end of Oct or Nov. No one knows but they are surely in the pipeline although I love the xperia UI which is close to stock android and the best among other OEM skins. I have come on an xperia from an iPhone. Trust me xperia is the only one phone where u would enjoy the touch sensitivity like the iPhone.

I love the iphones when they are jailbreakable but for the next forseeable months I can't see an ios 8 JB being released... I love the freedom on Android and constantly find myself going back to iPhone due to the lack of a decent camera found on any Android handsets (I've owned HTC One, S5, Note 3, S4, Nexus 5)..
You can't find a decent camera on any Android phone?
And you go to an iPhone for their cameras? Rly? Hahahaha hahaha you're funny.
Why are there almost no custom roms for this phone. The Android development section has 11 posts?
Other phones have thousands. Why is that.
I was thinking to buy one of these, but this sets me off.
Is there a root , that doen´t void warranty ?
thx

No there is no Lock Bootloader with root atm. I would guess once that is solved there will be more custom roms.

Most custom roms (CM MIUM AOKP AOSP PAC) etc require an unlocked bootloader as well as root. Unlocking the boot voids warrenty, hence the disclaimer in the OP of all their ROMS.
Root with a locked bootloader will only lead to custom roms based on stock firmware. they have more customisation than stock, but not as much as true custom roms based on another kernel.

Ok, thanks. Still , although the warranty is lost. There is still so little activity. Why is that. I just read the news, that Sony release AOSP Versions for all phones and allows the bootloaders to be unlocked. I thought that this would be a developers dream, for CM for example.
So, whats wrong with the phone. I still dont get it.
Was considering z3 went with g3 as there seems like way more dev support for LG phone and tons of LP roms in alpha beta stage.
Whats up with sony?
No one want to root because of loss of DRM keys..
And what does that mean?
thx
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to resurrect a old thread (zombies!)
but i see there are almost no custom roms for Z3 (either stock based or AOSP or something else)
the stock based are still on Kitkat.. (1 Rom)
AOSP i see only Cyanogen but with very little development (of course a pair of roms based on CM).
The freexperia project is almost non functional.
I'm not demoting the devs / modders... just not finding the root cause of this.
The Very old Samsung S3 is still getting too much love than our new phone, that has qualcomm SOC and thus, unlimited (sort of) open source development
Something is wrong with this phone or i'm missing something?
Im waiting too..

Stock is good enough.
I know stock is great. Just wonder if a modified custom ROM could squeeze the battery further. I doubt it but u never know.

It could happen, that is true, I'm sure soon Z3 will have some custom ROM's for users to play with, on it.
Supposedly our device can be bootloader unlocked right? I mean I tried going through the process on Nokia's website and it allowed me (tho I didn't go all the way cuz my device is registered and I'm afraid they'll void me the warranty as soon as they give me the unlock bootloader code) so why doesn't this device have more custom ROMs?
I sold my Mi A2 and bought this device and although its a much MUCH better device than A2, I do miss the many custom ROMs that device has available, and it baffles me because A2 and this device share most of the same specs. I know the bootloader unlocking issue WAS an issue months, if not years ago, because HMD didn't allowed it. Is there a lack of source code for the development of custom ROMs or this device doesn't interest the community what-so-ever?
There is no official way to unlock bootloader, only unoffical.
Nokia 7+ has treable support, so any a/b GSI should work.

First, you may have not read a lot on our beloved XDA forums/community, otherwise you would know some better behavior. So, get some manners.
Second, usually, you wish for/use a cleaned and better responsive custom ROM to get away from bloated **** ROMs installed by phone manufacturers, but with an Android One device you do not have to. At least, I hear that is why loads of people use/buy them (including me). Unlocking the boot loader and installing Magisk is nice, but what else do you need then?

I actually prefer a more AOSP Pixel version of Android than anything else (Pixel Experience), plus Mi A2 already has a custom rom based on Android Q's beta, something this device does not have.
