Sorry for such an incredibly n00b question but which model is recommended for roms, kernels, CM, etc?
I'm looking at the M8 One....or is that an older model? I have PTSD from the locked bootloaders from the Samsung / ATT gestapo.
Thanks!!
If you want an htc for mods, Roms, and kernels, i would go with any of the One M series, they are the best for ROM and kernel support. and yes the HTC One M8 is an older model, the latest is the HTC 10, very good phone and has tons of ROM/kernel support

Well. Im using a HTC One M9 right now.
I have mods for:
-overclock
-sound (speaker and headphones)
-Beats audio
-camera (2 mods that work nice combined)
-custom thermal control
-display color customization
A ton of roms and kernels also.
The bootloader is unlockable just by using HTC's official website, HTCdev.
M8 is very good for mods.
A9 is nice and cheap. Doesnt have a ton of mods tho. But the build quality is incredible and is really well optimized.
HTC 10 is a lot more expensive, but also the support is insane. It got a few roms and somebody is working at a CM ROM, and another guy at a rom that looks more like a traditional Sense rom.

Hi all,
Since I've sold my SGS2 yesterday (I'm a fan of HTC, and specially htc sense), I'm waiting my ONE S (S4) to come, tomorrow. And, I would like you guys to help me out regarding a cooked ROM, for S4 of course. On SGS2 I've used Wanamlite's editions. I would like to have integrated in the ROM the htc sense (I suppose that there are roms that have removed the htc sense).
Can you please help me out with some ROMs, which you think that are the best calibrated? Regarding kernel, launcher, battery life, etc.
I saw that Energy is on the One S area also (I've used only his ROM's in Windows Mobile devices that I had). How do you think that is his ROM on One S? Should I go on something else?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I'm new to phone rooting, but I used a guide on this website to root my Boost Mobile HTC EVO Design 4g (not currently active on any carrier, so I'm not too worried about messing up carrier-related stuff). Anyway, I would like to Install a custom rom on it since I'm not a fan of HTC Sense 3.6. My Rom of choice would be PAC Rom, but I would settle for CyanogenMod, or anything else that's pretty good that any of you would recommend. Anyway, I've found these roms for HTC Evo, but not the Evo Design. Will a rom for the evo work on the Evo Design? I've also heard that the Hero S has the same support for roms as the evo design, but I'm not sure how much easier it will be to find roms for that. Basically, my question is, How can I get PAC Rom or CyanogenMod for the HTC Evo Design 4g?
Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I hope This phone gets a lot more attention in the near future due to being the launch phone for Freedom Pop's FREE phone service.

Unfortunately, there is not much support for this phone. I have found support here for it : androidforums.com/evo-design-all-things-root. However, there seems to be one active dev and it is stuck on 4.0.3. Having said that, the ROMs there do work on this phone. The phone is already rooted with CWM 5 already on it. The Messaging app uses a custom version of CSIPSimple and is downloadable in the Play Store. I am currently on the ForgottenKingdom ROM (Kingdom is the phone's codename).
Hey guys. I'm brand new to the One M8, I just got mine on Mother's Day cause of the sale they had. I upgraded from my beloved Galaxy Nexus, but this new phone is just fantastic.
So, with that being said, I put CM11 on it immediately and have been happy ever since.
However, I've been looking around at the other ROMs available and I wanted to know what ROMs are available with HTC Sense on them and what ROMs allow tweaks to Sense and other things, etc.
Basically, what are some good/notable ROMs that have HTC Sense baked into them? And what are the pros and cons of each? I just figured I'd give them a try, its been years since I've used an HTC phone (going all the way back to the DROID Incredible)
Thanks,
Jared

ROM's are always a matter of preference. Personally i like Viper ROM. It has a lot of options via Viper tweaks and also a lot of themes. It's definitely worth a try.

I had three HTCs, incredible, Rezound and DNA (going to get m8 next month) and I gotta say either clean ROM or viper (viperOne got ported to the DNA and it has all the features you would want, and has deSense options)

Stock with xposed.
So I had planned to stick with my old d2vzw (Verizon S3) through next year, but I think it just physically died on me. So I may need to upgrade way, way sooner.
The M8, I believe is the only phone on Verizon currently capable of flashing AOSP based ROMs. Can anyone chime in with how development is?
I've seen Liquid (my fav) and a GPE port are on this forum, but I don't see anything else. How is the ROM selection overall?
I can't leave Verizon, not an option. I hate them so ****ing much.
I am loving the GPE rom. Haven't had any issues at all.
There's a lot more roms available than just the ones you see on the VZW M8 forum. Check out the development forums on the regular M8 forum. Most of them work on Verizon but you need to read to make sure a given rom works on Verizon phones.

There's plenty of roms and tweaks available for the m8. I personally recommend it. I'm using the viperone Rom which is my fav as of right now.
HTC ONE M8?
LiquidSmooth, CleanROM, Vanir, AOKP, CM, BadSeed, InsertCoin, Viper, GPE, SlimROM, Pac-Man, Paranoid Android, etc. The usuals are all present and accounted for.

I'm using the Google Play Edition ROM and couldn't be happier.

M8 is not the only vz phone that has AOSP ROMs available, G2, Moto X for an example. just have to look.
I've always been partial to CM myself. Love the M8, by far the best phone ever IMHO. I've used gpe port and viper but keep going back to cm.
If you want to get into development, I've never seen any project as well documented as cm. Their wiki can take any noob and have them building from source in just a couple hours.

Im curious as to the opinions of XDA members on their choices of the BEST Audio mods to date for android 5.0+. Specifically, htc one series phones, but not exclusively. I am, basically converting 2 htc phones(one m7 beats ed./one m8 hk ed.) to just listen to music with. Both are unlocked, rooted, twrp etc., custom roms(viperone) on both. Mods can be specific on/off, or flash and forget systemwide mods. I would like to hear from all. Thanks in advance guys!!
