[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Lock-N-Load:
Glad to see someone has a screenshot of the yellow System usage at 15gb. I wished I had taken a photo when in BB, but just glad someone got one to show I was not crazy.

Good God, look at all of the F***** garbage. So.. on Verizon, since locked bootloader and no root yet nor in near future, how the hell do you get this crap off and free up some of that massive 15gb. I cannot think they would allow delete of those apps freely.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] wase4711:
the only answer is to dump verizon for t mobile so you can root and remove anything you want
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Lock-N-Load:
For real? These kind of answers are (1) never a legit answer (2) not reasonable (3) doesn't take into account availability in a persons area (4) are a statement of the obvious any adult knows they can already do if 1-3 are not issues. But thanks :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Pure+:
Well I will be absolutely shocked if the version that are shipped to customers have that much space used. As you can see there are games(very large data ones) pre-installed which is why the system is so large. Our phones won't come with that crap. Any bloat installed is sure to take far less space than those games which chew up multiple GB each.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] wase4711:
any "adult" who has been on this forum for as long as you have been would have already known that the death grip of Verizon wont allow you to delete any system apps, so its either switch from their grip, or deal with the locked down phone they force you to have.

your welcome

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] yvibes:
Yh i dont know about the gold. I'm not sure if I can pull it off. I live in a rough neighbourhood and I think the gold will attract too much attention especially in the sunlight. Indoors it seems too shiny and like a mirror so I might have to see if I can have a look at one in person before I buy.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] galaxyfaraway:
Your right about it being a bit flashy..something I'm worried about as well here in Charlotte NC. It just screams expensive and steal me. May have to put a chain attached to my hip. Lol

Green and Gold

The 4th image approximately shows the range the green color shows under different lighting conditions. Also it may be just me but the green has a yellow tint at the front, while the back has a cooler teal tint to it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] darkknight:
I am trying to figure out the best way to do a full backup of my XDA (the kind I can restore from no matter what I poke around with). The catch is that I really only run linux, so windows options are not going to work too well for me.

I can use synce and raki to do a backup of the filesystem (assuming no files are locked by windows mobile) but what about roms? Is there a way I can back them up directly to linux? Or if not, can I back them up to a file on the SD card so I can pull them down to my pc?
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
So,

Its that time of the year again; fresh new releases from all major smartphone manufacturers. And like most years, HTC is the one that draws me the most, because it is the closest to the perfect phone compared to any other manufacturer.

But one thing i cant decide, this year more than any other year, is which colour to go for.

The Silver and gold one seems very sexy with the dual tone finish, and after having gunmetal grey for the past HTC One's i have had, i am tempted to go for it. But then comes the Gunmetal grey, which seems a tiny bit darker this year, which draws me to the "dark knight" look.

So, what are you guys and gals going for this year? The sophisticated Silver and gold, or the Dark knight Gunmetal ?

HTCOneM8 by ViperOne M8
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
Looks like the Gunmetal is much more popular judging by the replies and the poll! I am also siding with Gunmetal grey, purely because I ordered a Titanium grey dBrand skin for the device, which would look better on the gunmetal rather than silver.
[One (M9) General] graffixnyc:
I had a silver m7 on launch and was dying for the black. When I got the black I wasn't crazy about it and thought the silver looked more premium and stood out more. With the m8 I thought the silver color was boring and thought the gunmetal was better and went with that. Now that I'm going to get the m9 my first instinct was to go gun metal again but now that I look at both I think the silver and gold stands out more and looks more premium so I think I'm going to go with that one.
[One (M9) General] Wildclip:
Saw both at best buy today... I liked the darker gunmetal color more, but the back was darker than I thought it would be.

Gunmetal Grey i got mine saterday and i really loved it :)

Came from silver M7 i saw the silver/gold in the store last week and didnt like it, its to much bling bling for me............
[One (M9) General] fatpeopleunite:
Is the silver/gold one silver or gold on the front?
[One (M9) General] Wildclip:
Silver on the front, with a gold band along the side
[One (M9) General] jah:
The point is the design is the best yet irrespective of colour.
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
That's how it should be, the design should be the best every year. But the point of this thread is precisely the color :)
[One (M9) General] jah:
Not true for the Samsung S4 to S5. Anyway, what was trying to say is that all colours are good as design is good. If pushed, my preference is silver and gold.
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
I've gone from the Silver M7, to the Gunmetal M8, and even though I think I prefer the Gunmetal M9 I have actually opted for the silver/gold just for a change :) - Adam

I ordered silver last night.
[One (M9) General] flex360:
:cool:

i checked the picture online and its blue and black

are my eyes deceiving me?
[One (M9) General] oemfoefoee:
I come from black M7 and my gunmetal grey M9 came last saturday and it is ****ing gorgeous! I think the silver design is great as well but I think I won't like the gold sides very long
[One (M9) General] graffixnyc:
I originally was going to get gunmetal but to me the silver gold stands out more and looks a bit more premium. I think a lot of the little design details get lost in the gray this time around similar to how the m7 black was. I thought the silver m7 was nicer (when I thought I'd prefer the black) , then thought the gunmetal gray was nicer on the m8 but this time around I think the the silver is nicer. Plus everyone seems to be getting the gray so I like to be a bit different. Hehe I ordered it last night from att with express shipping hopefully I get it before Friday for the Big Android BBQ Meet and Greet in DC
[One (M9) General] d3sm0nd:

[One (M9) General] DeeJayAJ:
I got the gold one in, a clear case to show off the color

so glad i ordered the case before I got phone so the baby is protected right out of the box !
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
Ah, the good old days of buying cases . i always bought Spigen cases for my phones.

But I discovered the beauty if dBrand skins last month for my M8. Ain't no way im putting a case on any of my phones again! dBrand skins preserve the beauty and design of the phone (which is why i buy HTC Phones in the first place) while not adding any bulk .
[One (M9) General] graffixnyc:
That kind of doesn't make sense. You buy htc phones because of the beauty and design but yet you cover up that beauty and design with a skin so you don't actually see the beauty or the design of the actual device. Haha
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
It does make sense. Lets say you buy a spigen or otterbox case , and put the phone in that. It covers up the whole phone, leaving nothing visible from the design. You will see a 10$ plastic case which was designed in 5 minutes by some engineer at Spigen, rather than seeing the actual phone itself , which was designed by a team of engineers at HTC over a year.

have a look at the skin I used on my M8 (ordered the exact same for my M9) , pic is attached.

It has the same Brushed aluminum design with a bit of added grip, and preserves the beautiful design of the phone. It changes the color of the phone to a degree, but it doesnt hide the design. Plus, you can always go for a clear skin from Zagg or Besktskinsever which is basically a mobile condom! :D
[One (M9) General] Prasad:
Gunmetal Grey all the way! And with this Spigen case: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SNOTEJS/

I seriously cannot believe how well this uber cheap case goes with this phone.. It looks like it's a part of the phone itself, with exactly the same gunmetal color. And has a great grip too!
[One (M9) General] west2cool:
have you got picture with case on phone...
[One (M9) General] k1moe:
Silver/Gold looks pretty nice. First I want one in grunmetall grey but today im happy with my decission ;)
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
Looks like the Gunmetal is a tad more popular, its been at a strong 60% since I started the poll :) Im counting down till Fedex knocks on my door to deliver mine :D
[One (M9) General] Jonathan-H:
I got the gold on silver model and more and more wished i'd gone with Gunmetal. I had a gunmetal M8 and thought it would make a change but the gold on the silver one is too .. feminine and isn't really gold more like a light bronze? Hmm.
[One (M9) General] Prasad:
Just slap a gunmetal case on it ;)
[One (M9) General] Azerox:
Gunmetal Grey ofcourse :D

Just one week to go!
[One (M9) General] Prasad:
Unfortunately, the phone is my only camera :( I'll provide some nice pics though, if I manage to borrow a friend's cam..
[One (M9) General] y2jdmbfan:
I got the Gunmetal, and man, I am kind of regretting it, the phone is just as slippery as the Gunmetal M8 for me, even with the raised bezel on the front. If I wasn't underwhelmed with the phone Vs. the M8 I currently have, I would probably swap for the Gold / Silver variant, but as of now, I am leaning towards a return. I want something different, and am tempted to go to the Dark Side and try the GS6 Edge...
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
I think anyone who is buying the M9 after having the M8 would fully know what they are getting. The M9 is kind of an M8S rather than a whole new phone. And I absolutely love what HTC has done, because getting rid of and changing a design that is so highly regarded after just 1 year is stupid. Samsung HAD to change, they had no other choice. The Previous Galaxy phones were so stale and boring that they were forced to change. But its different for HTC, the M8 design was so iconic that it warranted another year with some minor tweaks.

What really amazes me is how the Tech websites and reviewers have reacted to the M9. Why does everyone kiss Apple's Arse when they release an S model every 2 years ? whats different with HTC ? It just shows how much marketing can affect people's minds.

In the end, I cannot imagine using any other phone than the M9 this year. The S6 is no good for me. I would not trade Aluminum for glass. And to top it off, no SD Card slot just kills it for me. Keeping in mind that no phone will ever be perfect, the HTC M9 is the closest phone to perfection for me. Only problem standing in its way is the camera, which i have come to understand from the reviews is mostly software and post processing issues, so can be fixed with a few updates.
[One (M9) General] Teo032:
when is the all gold one being released so I can put my vote in lol
[One (M9) General] MCube74:
I bought the HTC M9 Gun metal with the Grey HTC Dot view case (Ice Premium)

The back of the case is clear which helps to maintain the look of the phone.

The silver gold is too flashy for my taste and it suits the ladies more.
[One (M9) General] chivamex10:
Silver and gold for me. All gold looks clean but I am impatient. I use all my phones naked. I'm a big fan of slick wraps but it would defeat the purpose with the two tone look of the M9. Maybe I'll do a clear one in the future. Biggest pet peeve of mine is taking a beautiful phone and putting a stupid ügly case on it.
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
I share this view, and had many debates on this subject :P

I do get the concept of the case trend (it protects for those accidental drops) but I just can't and won't get, you love the design and many say I'm getting the white oh I'm getting the blue oh I'm getting the black and then for on a red case eh is the world bonkers, don't answer that :P
[One (M9) General] DrBrick:
Gunmetal ftw. The Spigen clear case isn't terrible.
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
Would love to see some pics of the dot view ice holding the M9 - Adam
[One (M9) General] MCube74:
I also prefer not using a case but if the phone drops and causes huge dents on the phone, it will be a killer.

Anyway using a dot view ice premium case lets you show the back of the phone and also use one of the important features of the HTC One M9
[One (M9) General] LeeDroid:
Silver & gold as it will be less prone to damage.. had quite a few marks on my m8 where the gunmetal laquer had rubbed away, caused mainly by bits of crap in my dot view... The silver is raw alloy
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
There are arguments to be made for both colours :D The Gunmetal is just plain sexy , and the silver looks good too. Im rocking the gunmetal , it arrived today. First things i did was: Unlock BL, Root, TWRP, and Leedroid ROM !

Its my first time using your Rom [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] , loving it so far. But let me take this opportunity to first thank you for your work, and secondly ask you : 1) Any plans for OTA updates to your ROM? 2) Sometimes the screen doesnt turn on when I press the power button, I have to press it multiple times for it to work. any ideas why ?

Thanks
[One (M9) General] LeeDroid:
It is Damn sexy! Lol...

Make sure ambient display is not checked in display settings mate, working on it now as there is a glitch.. yes, OTA is in the works ?
[One (M9) General] DeadPotato:
I'm stuck on which one to get, I had an M8 and I loved the gunmetal gray color, but this one looks darker, and I'm afraid it may be too dark once I get it in person. I was thinking on getting the silver version this year, but they didn't a silver one itself, but the silver on gold. I can live with the golden frame, but the front looks so gold-ish in some photos, and I don't like gold as the base color of the phone I'm gonna use, that's why I never bought a gold one lol.

What do you guys think, any advice based on your M9? There's no store in my country so I have to rely on videos and photos, but you know the photos in places like Amazon looks more 'artistic' than realistic, so I'd appreciate some photos by real users to get a better idea how does it looks like :)
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
Well as in general, i do agree with what most say. Silver/gold is for the ladies, while Gunmetal Grey is for the guys... But that's just personal opinion.

Here i took some shots for you, taken with my m4 so the quality ain't superb. Natural light far in the afternoon already. Hope they help :)
[One (M9) General] DeadPotato:
Thanks!

Yes they do, thanks!, I guess I'll go for the gunmetal gray this year too. I hesitated a bit the last time as well, but once I got it in my hands I knew it was the way to go, maybe I'll get used to it the more I use it :)
[One (M9) General] anlygi:
I ordered the silver gold, due to arrive tomorrow, but seriously considering returning it for gunmetal. I'm coming from s silver M7 so fancy a change but have concerns about it losing colour in places. I don't do cases and I'm good with my phones. The missus is inheriting an immaculate 2 year old M7 that is first being RMAd for a camera fix.

The poll has literally been at 60%/40% since i posted it. looks like its staying that way :) Gunmetal gets the win this year :D
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
The Gunmetal is a nice colour, haven't yet seen it person thus why I'm not regretting my choice to opt for Silver & gold (which I really like).
[One (M9) General] mahdibassam:
At the end of the day, they are both sexy looking. I'm sure nobody would regret going for either one!
[One (M9) General] MCube74:
You are right.

It is personal choice. If one wants a more flashy phone then get the silver gold model. If I wants a sexy look then get the gun metal model.
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
light colors are kinda wasted due to the big black screen in the middle of it, at least with the darker colors, the phone looks more as one.. Whereas with bright you can see the screen quite obvious (if that makes any sense haha)
[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
Not in the slightest but in your head St time of writing it probably did :P

Seriously get your point, but both still good and I really like the bling that is Silver & Gold :)
[One (M9) General] sausje85:
Yeah to each their own taste ofc, for me it's always been black, idk why.. even the full interface, always had black Sense on each phone :p

[One (M9) General] kertong:
With the htc one M8, I got a gunmetal grey one from work - I liked the M8 so much I replaced my personal iphone 5S with a glacial silver M8 for personal use. With the two side by side, I preferred the silver by a large margin - the light refreshing silver metal with the black bezels had a nice contrast that wasn't there with the gunmetal grey.

With that said, I picked up my M9 yesterday, and I went with the gunmetal grey. From the front, the silver M9 had that light refreshing contrast I liked in the silver M8 - but I just could not get used to the gold rim. It looked kind of tacky to me, and I just couldn't see myself getting used to it. Wish they made a 100% silver M9, that would've been my first choice :(

I still wonder if I should've just gotten the silver+gold M9 and forced myself to love the gold - because outside the gold I just loooove the light/bright silver!

The all gold version has gone on sale in Taiwan, though I really like the Silver gold one.

[One (M9) General] Duncan1982:
I have the all gold M8 which is nice and wanted the same for the M9, but then my mind swayed for the silver & gold and I really like,

Take a PIC & let's see the all Gold :)
[One (M9) General] kertong:
My gunmetal gray M9 kept losing GPS every 15-20 minutes during navigation, so I went to the AT&T store and exchanged it for a new silver+gold one.

Now that I get it home, the front face / speaker grill area looks like it's a very light gold rather than a bright silver. In certain lighting, the phone front looks like it's a super light gold/champagne - in other lighting, it looks like it's a flat silver/grey. Weird!! I couldn't tell at the AT&T store under their lighting, it looked like a straight silver to me.

I think the gunmetal grey looks more professional - dark and subdued. Doesn't quite look as "htc one" since the speakers are less visible, etc. The silver+gold looks classier and a little more premium, but I find the gold sides and slight gold tint on the front a little tacky - if this was 100% pure silver like the M8 (*loved* that bright glacial silver and the matte finish on the back), it would've been EPIC!!

edit: one other thing i noticed is that the back edge of the silver+gold feels a bit sharper than the gunmetal's, not sure if it's in my head or not but thought it was worth mentioning.
[One (M9) General] fosormic:
Pink-ish :mad:

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

I so completely agree. Have had the gunmetal for over a week now and i'm actively disliking it. The logo does not stand out. The antenna lines are almost invisible.

I was going to exchange it for the silver one. I saw it at two different stores (different lighting) and the back is gorgeous. Reminiscent of the M7 (which was pretty awesome) and the accent features stand out. Very premium.

The rim is gold-ish. Ok. Looks ok. Not a fan but looks OK.

The front... is officially called "Rose Gold" but it is in lay terms, light metallic pink aaaargh! :(

I am seriously thinking on keeping my M8 just because this color ordeal. Gunmetal is very sexy and feels good, but particularly from afar, you cannot tell it apart from so many other offerings out there.

:(
