Looked around quite a bit and did not see any posts similar to this. I'm blind or there really isnt any. Is there a way to get Verizon only apps to work on some of these ROMs based on phones from other networks for the Inc? For example, i installed the "shooter rewind" sense 3 ROM and when i tried to install the Skype mobile for verizon it won't give me the option to download from the market. I also tied to recover it through Titanium, but when i ran it, it told me it only works on verizon phones and closed itself. Any workaround or do need to find the apk for the app from the phone the ROM is based on? Thanks to anyone that can help.

I would imagine that it's being worked on or that we don't currently have the API. Considering Verizon doesn't have a device that currently runs Sense 3.0 stock. The only phones that run Sense 3.0 stock are the HTC Evo 3D and the HTC Sensation. Those are on Sprint and T-Mobile respectively.
Looks like it's rolling out overseas.

The HTC site shows all carriers in the integration phase...after that comes certification...I'm guessing it will still be awhile.

Don't expect 4.4 anytime soon because of Verizon.
I'd be surprised if they released it before March. They're always missing target dates, especially with Verizon.
Just get VipperOne 4.4kk / 5.5 Sense, everything you could EVER imagine baked in. Best rom for m7vzw hands down. Try it. I've loaded most of the roms available for this phone, and this one blows everything else out of the water.

I don't understand why I would want all the extra stuff that is baked into ViperOne. Seeing that long list of "features" looks an aweful lot like bloatware to the uninitiated, like me. Right now I'm running TikTak which is pretty much stock Kit Kat. Would ViperOne suite the casual user, like me, better? Why?

Bloatware are apps you do not want. ViperOne allows you to not install any app that is packed with it during the install process.
The extra features you are talking about are all part of one app, Venom Tweaks. Which allows you to customize everything from kernel settings to the color of your notifications, screen layout sizes, really too much to list. But that is all contained inside of one app.
It also allows you to install entire custom themes, through Venom Hub.
There isn't really any bloatware at all added to the Rom, and it allows you to leave out anything you do not want during install. Like I remove HTC stocks, picasa, kid mode etc......all during the install from recovery. I would just recommend trying it if you own an htc one. I've run a crap ton of roms since i got my One, and i swear by it. Leaps and bounds beyond everything else I've run. And the Venom team is constantly updating with new features, and new mods are constantly being added to the Hub. Also comes with VenomSU baked in.
I'm running ViperOne 4.3.0, the newest Philz Touch CWM for m7vzw, and LunarX kernel for tap2wake and cpu tweaks. Love it.

Are you still able to use Zoe and the Sense gallery with ViperOne?

Yes. Both work as it is a sense ROM.

Four major carriers are now in certification stage. Might actually hit deadline this time.
Lets hope..

It would be unprecedented for Verizon to update at the same time as other carriers. I don't expect our phones to make the Wednesday deadline.
Verizon might be changing though.....They were the first U.S. carrier to put out 4.3 on the GS4

Kitkat 4.4 is now in Finland. I am just installing it.
After all those articles saying this week
Engadget is reporting the update is now a couple of weeks away Certification process is taking longer than expected.
ugh - I'm too much of a noob to be allowed to post url
I have to say - this is one thing Apple got right - skip the carriers. (OK they got many things right - just wish Google was able to follow Apple's footsteps as far as OS updates)
You might be saying "why don't I root and use one of the kitkat ROMS available today" well it's simple. I just got notified by my place of work that rooted phones won't be allowed on the network I have no choice (at least if I want my phone to get corporate mail).

What a surprise... Not.
I am new to this type of work, I recently just followed a guide to unlock, root, and install 4.2.2 on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I used the WugFresh? tool and it seemed to go pretty smooth.
However, now my phone will crash several times a day. I get messages that bluetooth has stopped working, or the lockscreen has stopped working, and sometimes it just won't turn the screen on and I need to pull the battery.
Can someone recommend a good ROM that I can push to the device that is tried and tested? I don't know where to find ROMs, how to compare them, or what is best for me. I just want the latest version of stock Android on my almost 2 year old Galaxy Nexus.
I was looking at this page:
[Can't post link as I am a new user...]
and I think I would want the ROM under:
Factory Images "mysid" for Galaxy Nexus "toro" (Verizon CDMA/LTE)
called '4.2.2 (JDQ39)'
I have attached a couple images showing the 'About Phone' so you can see what I currently have.
Thanks in advance,
David
I recommend Shiny ROM. It's pretty much 4.4.2 without any modifications. For me, it's been the most stable of KitKat Roms.

So I'm coming to the HTC One M9 from a Nexus 4 on TMO. The Nexus 4 had the Google Dialer and I liked it tremendously more than whats on the HTC One M9, especially with Google Caller ID. I don't want to do a customer ROM however because losing wifi calling is not an option.
Has anyone gotten Google Dialer with Google Caller ID to work on our phone? Any other app store options?
Are you going to root? There is a thread with gpe contacts and dialer in XDA but it is a flashable .zip that replaces the stock HTC dialer. It does work as I use it on my m8.

There is also now a thread as of today with a zip that can be flashed in combination with a custom rom to give you WiFi calling.

Does the 10 offer something like Samsung's "Kids Mode" which allows the parent to lock the interface to a limited set of apps and to be able to set a daily time limit on access?
Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
If it doesn't there are several apps on the play store for this feature.
I dont know... But with HTC slimming down sense I dont think it will be there. They have their apps available on the play store so you might be able to get it that way?
It would be nice to be able to port Samsung's Kids Mode. I've been on the s5 for 2 years and going to get the HTC 10, Samsung's Kids Mode is the best I have ever used.
Let's see about ports.... But I think you will find many people will be adverse to porting anything Samsung on to this phone. Time will tell
Why don't you use the own android solution already implemented, guest account? or create one specific for what you want?
Maybe is enough for what you need

I've never actually used it so I won't be able to tell... I would suggest you get on the s7 or s7 edge forum and ask if someone could provide the APK to test on another HTC model? If it works on an m8 or m9 or a nexus then chances are it will on the 10?
I have it on my own s5, I've never ported an app though. I might give it a shot after I get the 10
HTC had a kid mode app which was on older versions of sense, you might be able to get it from an stock image or ruu

That app isn't bad, you can get it in the play store, we have it on our tablets at home.
HTC used the Child-Mode App from Zoodles. At least this is the one that came pre-installed on my HTC One M9. You can easily download it on Google PlayStore
