Hi,
Is there anyway to install the HTC One Google Edition Rom on my HTC One? I really don't like the HTC customization but the device itself is awesome.
New to rooting and flashing Roms? Not a joke BTW honestly asking

There is no way to get the "Official" GPE on the Verizon HTC One because it is only intended for the GSM HTC One. But the direction that user brholt6 has pointed you in is the closest thing to a GPE HTC One as your going to get. It does require some extra things to be done first, as in S-Off, rooted, and custom recovery, but after that all you have to do is install the ROM.
I don't know your personal level of knowledge on customizing phones, but all the stuff needed is pretty straight forward and can be done following guides on this site and others.

An official GPE that's compatible with Verizon? I would say it's just about impossible. After the fiasco with the galaxy nexus on Verizon Google doesn't like Verizon and their policies very much

Hello
There is an excellent 4.4 KitKat ROM based on the Google play edition HTC one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560831
I'm running this ROM now and it is really smooth. No issues so far. Hope that helps. Pm me if you have questions about the ROM install process and I can direct you to the proper resources.

For now yes. Only flash roms from the Verizon section. If you see a rom in another phone's forum (Sprint for example) that you would like to try, make sure you ask the dev for that rom first and see if it will work on our One.
However, always assume that only the roms listed in the Verizon forums will work on this phone. Flashing the wrong rom will seriously ruin and or brick your phone.

Ahhh! I didn't even think of the GPe...
Yes there are two versions of the HTC One M8, one running Android 4.4.2 with HTC's Sense 6 overlay and the other running Android 4.4.2 with the stock Google Now Launcher (basically looks like Android on the Nexus 5). As for which is better, some will say stock Android others will say Sense but with HTC making their apps available for the GPe it might be worth getting that and then adding the HTC apps you want
Thanks for the info all

Yep. We'll probably get a heck of a lot quicker via a ROM.
I've got the GPe and I'm extremely disappointed in the camera quality, at least with the stock camera app. Has anyone used both side by side? How do they compare with the 'optimized' sense camera?
Also, if available, anyone have an APK for the sense camera? The other sense apps like T.V. remote seem to work well without any issue. I'm curious if the APK alone will work on GPe.

This makes no sense to me, but from what I've read all the variants are different models/hardware? Or are they just different radio versions? My point being, if I'm using a GPe using that theory isn't there a chance I'd have different results?
Which variant do you use that you converted?

I can see how that would work then, I'm on T-Mobile with my GPe, I didn't realize I'd have network issues until I read it after I bought the device. I still have my Nexus 5, so I'm not worried. I'm really just waiting on the OnePlus One.

How you root it is just flash philz recovery in dev and then flash supersu. You can always flash back the stock recovery (look for my thread in dev)

Thank you I will look for it now.
I'm interested in Sense camera as well. GPe one just doesn't cut it.
Sense camera will not work on gpe, no way to do it as it requires the sense framework.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Per posts in other forums the M8 is running on sense framework, so unless that's not the case, that's not the reason.
Coming from a Nexus device I can firmly say I much prefer the experience of Vanilla Android to Sense UI. Should I fully convert my M8 or just flash the GPE ROM? I'm leaning towards full conversion so I can get OTA updates, but I'd like to know if there are any downsides to conversion. I don't see myself diverting much from Vanilla Android, but I might like to try some custom ROMs in the future.

Just flash a Rom. They get updates too. Then you still have the option of flashing something else. No advantage to doing full conversion. I have had nexus 4 & 5 but I love sense too. Full conversion cannot flash sense roms because of partition sizes.

Thanks for the response. Won't I have to go through the hassle of flashing updates if I go the GPE ROM route? I have no desire to use Sense ROMs. In the future I'd maybe be interested in flashing something like CyanogenMod or another OS like Ubuntu Touch if it ever makes it the M8. Could the GPE conversion hinder that?

I would think the gpe partitions would be big enough for those. Most of the gpe roms have ota updates too. It's up to you. You can convert back to sense if needed. The only upside I see is a little more free space on phone.

convert!
I believe that the only advantage of the full conversion, is that you can get the update via OTA.
When an updated version comes out, a new GPE ROM will certainly be made available to flash.
Bye :good:
If you flash the GPE RUU it becomes a GPE phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
Yes it does alter partition sizes but there is now a method to flash back to Sense. (see post #2)
Providing you install the GPE stock recovery you can get GPE ota's.
Personally for me it's a no brainer - Love stock and hate sense!
Each to his own.
Do the GPE ROM's or Conversion get the same killer battery life as Sense 6 ?

The reason that the G2 didn't get MIUI because it only had CM11. There was a CM10.1 ROM but was too buggy to use as base. I'm not going to promise anything yet, but as soon as I get caught with my personal life, I'm going to start on MIUI on the M8. I'm waiting for Patchrom to update because I would love to use the GPE ROM as a base and have Sense feature with MIUI.
My two cents but I wouldn't use MIUI, they ripped off xposed and refuse to give credit.
Plus they are falling behind in android updates, what once used to be a great Rom is turning into crap

That's funny because they have credited Rovo89 here. And it's not MIUI that created the program but BurgerZ. And the new base which the Nexus 7, Nexus 5 (beta) and RedMi3 are running 4.4.2. Your opinion is an opinion but not when you are posting false accusations.

As soon as I am done moving, I'm going to build my android kitchen again since I lost everything when my job took my laptop. That was one of the reason that I stopped MIUI with the D2VZW. But I now have two beast machine and my ISP just upgraded me to 100Mbps line for free, I should have no problem building anything. But I need to get settled back into Android after everything that has gone on with my personal life. If porting with KK is close to same as JB was, I can hopefully come up with something quick with CM11 as a base...as long as MIUI is working with SELinux enforcing. :highfive:
Sweet, I'm sure many will appreciate it
