you should enjoy your phone dont worry about knox

warranty should end by 2 years from first use

your phone will be old enough
[One (M8) General] 3alaawi:
Hi everyone,

So XDA has made it clear that they dislike the question "Which is the best ROM" and will delete any posts based on this question.

I think we can have a thread that is more factual rather than opinionated. An actual comparison charts of some sort, with a long list of ROMs and which features they have or don't have being identified by checkboxes.

I know the general reply to the question is try them out yourself and pick what you like, but the idea here is not to say which is best, its just to provide as much information as possible so that we don't have to test each rom individually or go through threads and threads to find what we like.

I don't know exactly how this would be approached but if a this thread can become a sticky thread I think there will be a lot less questions on ROM features. Maybe the ROM developers can make submissions or whatever to the list with the features they have/don't have and new features can be added as they are made.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, feel free to move/delete this if inappropriate.
[One (M8) General] Stephen:
Thread closed,

While your idea is interesting it still falls under the rom comparison thread which is against forum rules.

The reason we do not allow these is, if you are a rom developer who has spent hours and days worth of work, putting a rom together, then somebody comes in and says this rom is better because it has X Y and Z, you can see how that developer would not take it too well.

The best thing to do is to simply read the OP's of the different roms in question and try it for yourself.

Best rom threads do not work in general because each user is different. If you give a rom to 3 people and say to use it, each person will get different results.

It does boil down to the fact the you need to decide what you want out of your phone and then try roms yourself to see which one is best for you.

Many thanks,

Hi there.

I have one question - I'm starting to learn android development and I want to know one thing - can I write app that will adapt to phone on which is installed? I mean - for example - app will use wifi, gps and ringtone to give me location of a phone. If phone has gps - it will use gps. If not - it will switch to wifi. If phone is old and has no wifi or gps it will ring. I want detect it automaticaly beacuse app will be installed on different models and by users that know nothing about device so it must be done inside of app and not by user.
[Java for Android App Development] arpitkh96:
Yes it is possible. but I dont remember any phone without WiFi,gps .every device have them
[Java for Android App Development] xorg23:
That was example. I need to write an app that will switch from one option of communication to another is one of them is not avaible (no signal or simply is not supported) or simply to conserve battery.
[Java for Android App Development] arpitkh96:
Again yes its possible .Google maps do this.it prompts to switch on WiFi or GPS etc for location accuracy
[Java for Android App Development] krypdon:
Yes! That is possible and most apps are designed in this fashion.
[Java for Android App Development] giuliomvr:
This: http://developer.android.com/refere...anager.html#hasSystemFeature(java.lang.String) is what you want to use, amd here are the possible features you can pass/ask for: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html#features-reference .

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
Is it possible at all to convert Verizon carrier unlocked M8 to Internation version..to receive updates from HTC outside US?

Currently phone is in global network mode on GSM network in asia. But updates from Verizon are only available on CDMA network.

HTCDev has

One M8 HTC WWE zip 3.4.0 v4.4.2	91.3 MB 1.12.422.19

this file available for download.

My Theory:

1. Install weaksauce and get temporary root

2. Use firewater method to achieve S-OFF

3. Install twrp recovery

4. Flash above zip file.

Will this work?

Another Q:

1. Lets say above method works....will it restore recovery to stock? Because htc updates will only work on stock recovery right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] beaups:
no.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
ok. Any other way to achieve it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
Probably no need to install custom recovery.

This way I can directly flash zip file obtained from htcdev. Will this work?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] beaups:
Nope. You cannot do what you are trying to do.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
Is there any other way then? Am I missing something?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] beaups:
No
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
So there is no way I can get official updates...that sucks :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mspulur:
Are there any way to flash another rom which is very similar or the same as the original m8 rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mashk:
There's a link for Viper rom and others. That what I'm on. You can also use the GPE ROM
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mspulur:
there roms are not very close to the original rom. I am looking forward to the most similar rom to the original rom of m8. Any idea?

If you go to the main HTC One M8 threads.. they have a conversion thread for M8 to International.. and if you read it, it says there is no support for CDMA only GSM..

Imo Scott's roms ie clean rom is closest to stock than stock. You can Soff and still keep its ability in tact and change what u want to as long as you don't change recoveries
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] w4itg:
I wish it was so I could get some GPE going that has everything working. Really the only big killer for me is not being able to browse the web and be on the phone at the same time.

I just don't understand why the 2 versions of phone are so different. I mean the VZW version can work on an international system right? Doesn't the VZW version version have the same hardware as the other models just not being used? Or just maybe VZW is just a bunch of spoil sports? I'm not sure if which but either way I wish I could convert mine to work with the stock GPE.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
Exactly my point. If the hardware is same it should be possible to change the software and convert from Verizon to International.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
At least can someone explain why it's not possible? May be any chances in future?

Just curious -> Noob!.... ??

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] projectD:
i can only speculate because of verizon's CDMA for Voice and SMS that the international HTC updates won't have the correct radios or bands that work specifically on verizon's band.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nabbed:
What you should do is the following.

Root and S-OFF. Install custom recovery, flash one of the latest rooted Verizon roms from the development section. If you want, flash the radios too.

So, about converting it to international, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the hardware in the Verizon phone is incompatible with the International firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mukeshd:
this shouldn't pose a problem if someone is using it outside Verizon band i.e. global mode right?

Sent from my HTC6525LVW
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AmbitiousDonut:
Did you ever end up with a longer explanation as to why this wouldn't work? I too live outside the US but have a VZW m8. I won't be using CDMA here. Ever.

Is it the hardware in it (CDMA receiver) that makes this conversion impossible even if I were to flash the international RUU and firmware on to it? so far, I've just used the international ROMs and it's been mostly fine. It got my data working on my tiny, crappy, provider here too when it wouldn't in stock global mode from VZW.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
I don't understand why it wouldn't be possible considering it is a global phone that supports volte. :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] motumbo:
I just flashed arhd 8.1 and now my phone works perfectly in gsm networks all over Latin America including LTE. So if you are planning to use your phone in a gsm network don't worry it works perfect at least 3.5G, lte whenever bands are compatible.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
SIM lock, that's why.

I've been in the smartphone game for 4 years, and I always thought CDMA was CDMA was CDMA and no two ways about it. I knew LTE was GSM, but I thought that was only for data. Now I'm hearing from the US Cellular crowd (they're a regional CDMA operator) that their phones can be SIM unlocked and can be used on AT&T and T-Mobile. As in, voice as well as data. Naturally, I called BS, but supposedly, they're doing it. Thing is, you have to be out of your contract. And then go into the carrier and ask them to unlock the SIM. If you're still on contract, they'll tell you to go pound sand. It used to be illegal to do it at all, but President Obama signed a bill that legalized carrier/SIM unlocking. So now they can do it. Whether they will or not... that might be a problem. But US Cellular, for their faults, is a 'friendly' carrier and they tend to look out for customers... sometimes... so I guess some of their customers are having good luck with that. Sounds like BS; I agree. But that's what they're saying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SponsOne:
I apologize for the newb question, but I am a little confused. I live in South America and I am looking to have this phone shipped to me from the States.

My question is: If I root it and flash a ROM like Cleanrom, can I use my phone in South America to make calls and send/receive texts? Is it as easy as it was with the S4 where I just had to switch it to global mode in the settings menu and then change the SIM card?

Thank you in advance

So im also outside the US but when i was there i got the phone and now i cant update my phone to latest software version, and that bugs me. Tried S-OFF with firewater isnt working so looks like im stuck with 4.4.2. Btw i am so desperate that i wont be getting any software updates..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mobilemedic:
my 2 cents

my 2 cents.

I am in Arizona but I use my Vzw M8 on a gsm hspa carrier only. i am on 4.4.4 with soff. I paid my 25.00 to get my phone soff as i couldnt find any other way. I wanted a GPE phone and strip anything vzw related. i have read verizon has different memory areas on this phone and is why you cannot flash a a gsm ruu on it.

first things first. soff fully unlocked (verizon does NOT sim lock these phones) Sunshine 25 bucks

you need a special vzw version of twrp 2.7.1.0 so it will flash roms correctly.

backup your phone !

i recomend if you want a pure android experience you use DigitalHigh Gpe for M8vzw rom

set your apns

done

i apologize for crappy typing. using my tablet :)

hope this helps someone. the right vzw version of twrp was my biggest issue.

Well, in fact I am now running stock 5.01 Sense WWE stock International ROM with the addition of Elite kernel on top(bootloop if not), VZW firmware, CID changed to HTC__001, not rooted. I am able to check for OTA´s with success but sadly no one has been released yet.

However, I suspect things can mess up if OTA is applied, as it can modify firmware/kernel. Will know as soon as it is released.

It should work, but as I have no ZL to play with nor did I test it on anything else then 101 I'd say: create a solid backup and just go for it. In theory it should work between any stock rom based on 4.2.2 and up.

Once more we must thank [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] a lot for making it possible to have the latest Xperia FW with root. Thanks very much. Still I have one question. On .569 and .101 though I installed the SuperSU fix, after installing rom, I still had problems using Foldermount with remount/reboot issue.

Then I solved it again applying your Remount/Reboot fix tool kit.

Could you please tell me if the issue hapens again with 4.4.2, I will be able to fix with the same tool?

Best regards.
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Did you do a full wipe or just update?

I don't get it to work. I'm always stuck on "formatting system" and screen flickers. Tried both updating and full wipe first... Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia ZL] [NUT]:
Update xzdualrecovery to the latest version and try again, if it still fails...

I know this is going to sound odd but do it, for real:

Grab another external sdcard or use an USB otg device....
[Sony Xperia ZL] [NUT]:
Foldermount really needs to get fixed somehow because the reboot remount fix is fully integrated in xzdualrecovery... It's probably even better in xzdualrecovery then in the fix... Foldermount probably does something which just sets all alarms off in the rom or screws about with something zygote goes mad about...
[Sony Xperia ZL] detective zero:
Thanks but no chance for me. Even tried internal SD and the same issue... :(
