Not going to happen on the one and its a stupid idea. 1) I can make my phone look like wp8 on android, cant do the opposite. 2) wp8 is inferior to android for many reasons, including theming limitations.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
Well I still use a zune so I looked at windows phones for a bit, but my decision was made because, like you say, it's about as limited as the iJail
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I like WP8, but would never use it everyday because of one thing... App ecosystem. Apple and Android have all the apps I use on a daily basis. WP isn't even close. So, until/if they can get that whole thing going, no thanks!

Also, yeah, as far as I know, the customization is non existent on WP. I'll stay with a jailbroken iPhone and my soon to be s-off'd One. :)

Uggggly. Why would anyone want to run W8... but that is just my opinion. It seems that Micro$oft has approached HTC about the possibility of running W8 on their Android phones. Lets hope that HTC, even in their cash strapped state, does not fall into the same temptation that Nokia did.

Why care if it dual boots? Consumer win choice...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
:thumbup: kinda what I was thinking
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
You won't get good comparisons about wp8 on here. They hate it as much as the iPhone. I ran the hd7 for about a year and really enjoyed it. It was nice to just use a phone without trying to change every design element just because I could. And zone with zone pass was a much nicer program to deal with than iTunes. You could drag media to your phone via your computer and it would transfer automatically when the phone was idle. I gave it up because it was late to the lte game. At this point I'm so far in with the Android ecosystem it would be tough to switch though the Nokia 1020 is sweet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muness:
I started on WinMo 6.5 with the Dash, Dash 3G and Touch Pro 2 and was a fan. At the time, it was the only choice that included wireless sync (contacts, calendars without plugging in! whoa!) and tethering iirc.

I tried iOS briefly on iPod touches and hated it so got on the Android bandwagon early on. I like Android but it really only works for me if I am rooted and I can heavily customize the device and running something like CM or AOKP. Or at least heavily deSensed/deTouchWiz-ed. A year ago, I tried an HTC 8x and I was surprised that I preferred it to Android. Now, I am heading back to Android because the hardware is so much nicer on something like the HTC One. Heck, even the Samsung Galaxy S4 made me jealous (after I rooted it, lowered the DPI setting and had Xposed clean up the mess of a UI it ships with).

I would love it if my HTC One allowed me to run either Android or WP8 in a dual boot fashion. Knowing me, I'd switch back and forth, probably using WP8 while travelling because it seems to have better power management and Android when I need seemingly basic stuff that WP8 still doesn't support (high speed audio playback for example!!!). I doubt that it'll happen.

If HTC does make more WP devices it'll be because MS is making it a no-lose proposition (they can use the same basic devices and MS pays them a bunch to create variants and pays for the marketing of those variants) and without dual boot support which would just be too much of a nightmare to support officially.

Technically, I am sure it's feasible to do this, even with dual boot (just look at what the HD2 has been made to do -- a WinMo 6.5 device that runs Android, even 4.3, WP7/7.5 and with dual boot support) but it'd be bonkers to support unless they end up with a virtualized setup (probably with WP playing host to Android given MS's expertise with running hypervisors, see e.g. XBox One's virtualization features. Then again, why would MS build that?!).

I'd pay good money to get the flexibility to run either OS on something like the One. WP is a more refined, fluid experience than Android. But it just isn't as feature rich. I'd like the option of running either.

Hey guys, recently Engadget hosted a competition known as Insert Coin, where inventors submit their inventions and then they select up to 20 semi-finalists who are then taken to an online vote. After that, the top 10 inventors get sent to New York City to present their inventions and have them judged at Engadget Expand. Then there are two 25K prizes which are awarded to the winner for them to pursue their invention. I have been chosen as one of the semi-finalists and we are currently at the online voting stage. I would be very grateful if you go vote for my invention, which allows the blind user to walk around and be detected of any obstacles in their path via a series of vibrating motors. This eliminates the need for a guide cane or guide dog. The link to go vote is www.engadget.com/vote . Thanks for your time, and I will greatly appreciate if you go vote!

Hi,

Not sure where to post this but here goes.........

Has anyone else noticed a faint Buzz/static at the very end a song or possibly during the quiet moments? I have noticed it when watching netflix as well.

Most people wouldn't notice but if you really listen it's there. I did a google search and it sounds like this May be a wide spread issue with different devices. I have the Canadian version of note 3 (smn900w8) I am finding this so friggin frustrating as I took back the lg g2 for this and don't want to regret swapping it. I did have a note 2 but I didn't notice if it was thee or not.

I'm also trying to find out what dac the North American version is using? Has there been any news?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
You are correct and it is on many devices. I suspect this is something to do with the audio driver of the phone because on different ROMs it didn't do that
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razamataz:
I think you right. I get the feeling that something needs to be bypassed like they do with certain kernels. I have tried using different players but no luck.

Anyone else able to confirm? Anyone figure out what dac is actually in this thing? Wolfson?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyDroidX:
No problem with mine I just tried Netflix,music and everything else. However, the audio is crazy loud on the n3 compared to the n2 .

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] milroy319:
Does anyone know a method just to stick with h+ data signals instead of switching to 3g.

Fyi in my area 3g reception is poor n always toggle between h+ n 3g.

The h+ signal is pretty good n it's enough for use also.

Therefore I thought if I can stick with h+ it will save my battery life.

Please comment your idea or solution.

Thnx in advance
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] cyberboob:
You can only set your phone to your mobile providers Mobile Data capabilities. It is not something you can set to work at just h+... this depends on the strength of your carrier in the particular area you are at. Your phone will pick up the best signal it can. Mine also goes back and forth, depending where my location is... and the building structure I'm at (and how much interference there is between buildings, etc)... unless it's some hardware you can attach (like antenna on inside of back cover) to boost signal.

I remember for my S2 device... someone posted a way to just have a certain mobile data signal... but it didn't really work, just had the symbol, but obviously still can only get what my phone was able to pick up.

If someone else knows a solution I haven't heard of, would like to hear it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] milroy319:
Oh thnx.

Plus no one will try to create a mod to use the less power signal instead of 3g. So seems like this is it.

But my idea was if a developer can make a mod to stop looking for better signals after achieving h+ that's it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] pakure:
Lol... H+ stands for hsdpa/hspa ...it is 3.5g...faster than 3g

The phone runs on H+ during data usage and 3g for calls:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] milroy319:
Oh my bad. Thnx for correcting me.

Anyway is there any way u know to then just stop on 3g cus I really don't want 3.5g.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] pakure:
Unfortunately there are no ways reported for 3g and H+ toggle as far as I know

Only 2g to 3g toggle is known
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Ram121:
When there no data transfer it will show 3g and when data is being used it will show h+ or h

So just kinda wanted to see what the general consensus here is. I personally love sense and would hate to run aosp on my HTC, but I'm seeing a lot of stock android love more and more it seems.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x2kjosh:
AOSP ROM all the way for me. Its all personal preference really. I got the one for its HW specs not SW. Sense isn't purr enough for me yet its still come a long way.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
I like sense 5 but I am over it. I much prefer the aosp look and how much I can customize it. I will flashing pac or carbon if it is ported to our phone.

Once I have s-off... Bye bye sense!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
I'll be going Sense-less as soon as possible. This is mainly because all of the ROMs I'm interested in and have used on other phones lack sense and are mostly ASOP, not because I dislike Sense. Sense isn't terrible in and of itself, the stock Sense ROM just doesn't offer enough features to make it worth-while.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
AOSP / Sense-less GPE

I love the stock google lockscreen, but I hate how now that I did the 'hack' for getting rid of sense lockscreen without root, I cant see who's calling until I unlock the phone...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] IceDragon59:
Apparently I'm among the minority so far. I prefer Sense, but modified along the lines of TeamVenom's Viper ROM. So many tweaks and adjustments. It's clearly still Sense, but definitely changed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Kiyuubi:
I'm with you on Sense icedragon, I ran aosp for a long time on the tbolt and loved it but im really liking Sense 5. So I'll probably be keeping sense especially if Santod or Virus make a sense rom

Edit: or newt, I can't believe I almost forgot about him. The sense 4 port he did for the tbolt was really good
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] megaorange1:
I actually like sense but I would Prefer the AOSP lock screen. But being new to android I don't really know what kind of roms are out there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] foolie:
Definitely leaning toward AOSP since I've used stock android phones (gnex, and before that -- droid 1). Sense I like using Zoe, blinkfeed, and am curious to see what customized sense roms have to offer
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cesium:
I ran AOSP/CM on my GS3 for a few months, but have liked Sense quite a bit so far. Just a few features I miss, namely the ability to switch between notifications and quick settings by swiping the bottom bar (where VZW is listed). Saved a fair amount of time, oddly enough.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] res0prw2:
I've tried both and keep coming back to Sense for Zoe, the stock Sense gallery (looks more beautiful and alive to me) and Blinkfeed. If they could be incorporated into Beanstalk or maybe PAC man, that might draw me away.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
Sense 5 is the first time ever that I actually LIKE Sense.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I love CyanogenMod but can't stand the crappy radios as of now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
I like sense five, but I liked it more with the original pull down lockscreen I had on my evo honestly. Never a huge fan of the aosp lockscreen. Especially before ics
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
Or you can two finger swipe from the top to get straight to the quick settings.

Personally will be sticking with sense roms. Every aosp rom I've used, something was either broken or wonky because they had to hack it to get it to work at all. And I'm digging zoe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
I have used AOSP for the last couple years. It is nice to have a rom with zero bugs and still runs fast and has good features. I will probably stick with sense roms for stability unless I see some really cool things come out for AOSP.

Sent from my phone using an app
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] calash:
I am already running a custom launcher and Widget Locker for the lock screen so I will probably jump from a Sense rom as soon as it is possible, or at the very least freeze a bunch of the apps that I am not using.

The Camera and Gallery are the only couple I may keep in the long run. Blinkfeed is nice but I cannot add it to a different launcher so it is a bit useless to me at the moment.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xdadevnube:
What's wrong with the radios on AOSP? I too will be deciding between Sense and AOSP.

I love HTC devices for the reliable signal reception. I don't want to sacrifice that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] res0prw2:
Zoe and the HTC gallery won't work on non-Sense based roms (including 4.3 GPE roms). You can still use custom launchers with Blinkfeed in one of two ways. If the launcher allows you to set up shortcuts on your home screen (Nova I think allows this but others do as well), you can set up a shortcut to the Sense launcher and just delete the other pages, leaving just Blinkfeed. Also if you are rooted, you can download the MoDaCo Toolbox and in there it will allow you to create a Blinkfeed "app" that takes you to your Blinkfeed.

Have your cake and eat it too.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Most of the AOSP ROMs have awful reception since the stock radios are proprietary and closed-source.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rob22202:
For me, the Sense TV / IR app keeps me coming back to sense-based ROMS. The rest of the sense can go, especially the buggy messages app. That one drives me nuts.

Edit: Is there any way at all to port that IR/TV app, including the required sense framework?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
Seems like a lot of work to run aosp and basically make it just like sense.

Besides that, I wasnt aware aosp caused radio issues. My gnex had serious radio issues, but I thought it was just the gnex cause I wasn't the only one with the issue
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] daverf:
Radio After Flash?

Correct me if I am wrong but are radios even included in a custom ROM like cm? Don't the stock radios stay there unless they are specifically flashed?

I have always been a fan of CM (and am using it now) but there are things I miss about Sense. ViperOne looks like a potentially good compromise--can't wait to try it when available for our device.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fear God:
Stayin' with Sense

I like the IR/TV app, Zoe, and the stability of Sense.

I don't want to flash AOSP and then run into the problem of having GPS and signal issues.

With the customization that can be done to Sense nowadays, it can't be beat, IMO.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
i'd agree with you for the most part. the only issue is that i don't like being behind on the android release curve waiting for HTC and VZW to release the sense version of the newest android.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
I actually like Sense better. And as someone who could not *stand* the reception issues with Galaxy Nexus, if it is in fact an AOSP probem, then I'm never going back to that again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Sense because of zoe and ir
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fear God:
I wouldn't put all the blame on AOSP with your signal issues.

I would say that was a Nexus issue, hardware and software related.

I'd also like to point out that most people on AOSP have great reception and their GPS works fine.

I've personally experienced both issues when I used to flash back and forth between AOSP and Sense on my Evo. That was a while ago and things have certainly changed since then, for the better might i add, so I might be biased, uninformed, and out-of-date concerning my opinion.

Please take it with a grain of salt and flash freely.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] res0prw2:
I must have misunderstood you earlier. There is no way to run AOSP and have Blinkfeed. I thought you were using a Sense based rom with a 3rd party launcher.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
No, sorry. I just read yours again and that is what you were talking about. I use BlinkFeed quite often but it seems like most of the custom roms are trying to omit it
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] res0prw2:
Same here, but a lot of people don't like Blinkfeed for some reason. At least most of the Sense based rom devs leave the option to add it back in again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
The only thing I liked about Sense was the way it displayed recent apps. Hated everything else about it. I went to AOSP the moment after I S-OFF'd and installed TWRP.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
Seems like a lot of the time you stick with what you know. My first android was aosp one the original droid, but aosp was a lot different then. Next two phones I got were both sense and I grew attached. When I got the gnex before this, I loved how much I could customize running a modified version of a vanir Rom, but I actually missed having sense and am glad to have another HTC to make that choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Oh my God. I did not know you could do that. WTF is wrong with me...

Thanks dude!!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Keithwg24:
Exactly how i feel, having Sense with the customization options of the Viper ROM FTW
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mtva24:
My past fees days using both, I'm noticing weaker reception on AOSP, plus I like the HTC TV app too much...Bone stock ended up being the best ROM for me....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xRogerxC:
Although I actually like Blinkfeed (other apps can come close to giving the same experience), my devotion to CyanogenMod always sways me in that direction. Everyone has their own personal opinion and choice of ROM's, whether they are Sense or AOSP based. I will admit that I am extremely interested in Viper Rom, and I will certainly give it a try if and when it is released for our phones. CyanogenMod 10.2 is running flawlessly on my HTC One, and I am content with that for now lol. I say go with what you are comfortable with, and what makes your phone fun and interesting.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mlin:
Typically I pick AOSP due to performance advantages. I just moved from the S4 to the one. On the S4 I liked AOSP a lot more due to the bloated and invasive feel of TouchWiz. The only reason I continued to use TW was due to the low camcorder volume with AOSP. Now on the One, Sense feels much more light weight and efficient than TW. Because of that I am pretty content staying on Sense, in fact, I'm so impressed with The One/Sense that I'm still on the stock ROM! I achieved S-OFF and installed a custom recovery right away but I have been so pleased with performance that I haven't flashed anything. Nowadays the most important consideration for me is stability. Because of this I'll likely stick with Sense as my DD. Also, until the low camcorder issues are fixed, I won't touch AOSP ROMs.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jason1332:
Never thought I would say this but I like sense...that coming from a recovering crack flasher. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Valinx7:
You ought to try vanir. I'm definitely sticking with sense, but I ran a vanir build on my old gnex and it had a lot of features and still ran smoother than any Rom I've ever seen
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sdot_sd:
I've only had the phone for a few days, but I'm running Vanir. I tried Sense for a few days, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't enough to trump AOSP. I imagine I'll be bouncing back and forth for the next few months.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] syphix:
This is really a tough decision for me...I like the look and feel of Sense, but LOVE the customizations of CM10.2. For now, I'm playing with CM10.2, but may go back to BoneStock or Viper (when it's available).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] perceptualdoor:
I ran aosp roms almost exclusively on my s4, really not a fan of touchwiz, the aesthetic is so outdated...but now that I have the HTC One I really like sense quite a bit and will run sense based roms...currently running Ecliptic One and loving it! Looking forward to Venom as well.

I'm using Sense-based right now. But that's why I love Android, I can switch to AOSP if I wanted. I came from a Galaxy Nexus, so AOSP is kind of boring for me :) It's nice to have something different (Thought i'd never hear myself say that, lol.)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] redman213:
I had that too one cm 10.2. But only at the last two volume levels. I'm currently on nos and really happy with it, smooth and stable. Has anyone tried to install the sense camera on aosp? I want to switch over but the aosp camera isn't as good as the sense camera. I'm just wondering if we can get the software benefits of the sense camera while its not running on a sense rom.

There is a thread where a member was looking to see if CameraZoom FX could be a workable replacement for the Sense camera while on an AOSP ROM.
