I was just curious if all or some roms found here would be compatible with the various US versions of the M8, i am looking to upgrade from an EVO 4G LTE and have never had a phone where each carrier has their own version ( like the M8, M7, GS4, GS5, etc.). Im guessing most if not all AOSP roms would be compatible, but i noticed only some of the sense roms were compatible with the differet versions of the phone.
Any info would be greatly appreciated, and i look forward to joining this community!

I think they should be compatible and if not it would be mentioned in the rom thread. I know that viper supports some carriers or maybe all not sure
You'd really have to go and check in the specific ROM threads that you're thinking about flashing. Some do. Some don't.
Thanks I just got my m8 actually can't wait to unlock this bad boy

I want to know if is safe to install the ROM's from development section.
I have rooted and unlocked One X. In ATT ONE X section are not to many ROM's to chose. Thank you for any help.
No, this is the intl version thread it uses a different processor.

Thank you for the answer. I hope someone make different ROM's for att to.
Good to ask before you brick your phone.
Go to the AT&T Forum and you can get ROMs there

There's a whole at&t rogers HTC one x section for you guys. I've never looked but I'm sure you can find some decent Rom dev going on there

Precisely why I bought an international HOX. I had an AT&T SGS2 for a while and it sucked not getting nearly the size of dev community.
I stand by my position that there is no S4-based or AT&T/Rogers One X, the device they have is the HTC One XL! (Except with half the storage of other markets )

Yeah, the naming is unfortunate (by which I mean intentionally misleading and completely unnecessary).

Yeah, they get free marketing by using the One X name, and since the devices are similarly powerful (supposedly) it's believable and the vast majority end up not caring about it.
One XL is on sale in the UK now, although we currently have no 4G yet
Just bought a North American Galaxy S3 with LTE and the AT&T section has basically nothing in terms of ROMs. The International forum has many, many more. Why is that?
Is there something developers are waiting for so they can start making ROMs?
Also, wouldn't it be smarter to rename the AT&T Development forum to "AT&T and Rogers Development"? It was quite confusing for me when I was first looking for the forum.
One last question. If I were to flash the kyanROM or the Ultimatun ROM, would it display "4G" instead of "LTE"? The stock Rogers ROM displays LTE. I just upgraded from the HTC One XL and they had the same setup, always the same as the AT&T model but all the ROMs had the 4G symbol instead of LTE.
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advanced for your answers.

I do believe its because alot of the dev's are waiting on their phones to arrive. The phone just got released by mail,(not in stores yet). So I think as they start to get their phones we will see more roms popping up. I am rooted but I have yet to flash a rom. I am still running stock.. I am waiting for a bigger selection.
yea you are going to have to wait i would say about 1/8 of the people who want the phone have one. I got lucky when getting mine.
So basically the developers are waiting for their phones to arrive so they can start work on building custom ROMs?
That makes sense, thanks for the reply. Can't wait until I can unleash the potential of this beast.
yes, you gotta think the international version has been out for a min. now, and didnt have to deal with nearly as many shortages due to supply and demand kinda of deal. Here we have shortages all across just about every carrier. Some people got their phones, others are waiting until their pre orders come, some are waiting until they are sold in stores, I give it a few more weeks, maybe even a month and we will all get our fix of ROMS, im definitely excited on how they will get them to work across the major carriers here.
The default behavior for the icons on AT&T is as follows:
E = Edge
3G = 3G area, should be almost nowhere in the states anyway
4G = HSPA+, or 3.5G or whatever you want to call it.
4Glte = LTE network
Of course any custom ROM can change those, and you'll need to make sure you have the proper APN settings for your carrier.
Hope that helps,

I'm not a touchwiz fan either, but when I use a 3rd party launcher (e.g. Nova Prime, Apex, Go Launcher) it removes most of the annoying things imho.
I am working on a rom myself, though it is more difficult since none of the windows based tools function well at all for ICS 4.0.4 TW based stuff. I could install a VM of Linux but I don't have the time for that right now. I will get around to it.
Don't worry you guys will get tons of ROM's soon. Same thing happened with the I777 .GS2, started really slow then they blew up.

Most people just started receiving there phones and working on custom roms. If you itching to flash try working on your own rom i did and its very unstable but I'm getting there. It require more time then i thought. We should be good on roms in a few weeks.

hey folks. will it be possible to convert a normal edition of the new One to the Google Edition? I could get a sweet deal through T-mobile, but I want continued Android updates. thanks.
It should definitely be possible but may take a little while.
As done with the m7, @graffixnyc has created a thread here. All that's needed is for someone to get the GPE model and provide the needed info to him to get this up and running
Sent from my HTC One or Note 3 via XDA Premium 4
So is the ATT, TMobile, Dev, and GPE versions all pretty much the same (with the exception of slightly different radios)? As in, will the GPE roms be easily flashable to the other versions (besides Verizon)?
Hey Guys,
I'm moving from an HTC M7 on At&t to the Note 4 on Sprint.
I have been with At&t for 10 years and modding/flashing ROMs for about 4 years. For the last few phones I had, since they were GSM phones, ROMs were fairly universal and could be used cross-carrier to some extent.
Since Sprint is CDMA, is this different? Will a universal ROM work or does it have to be Sprint specific?
Sorry if this question is covered elsewhere. I was just curious.
Thanks,
Ryan

If you're going to a Note 4, there probably won't be any issue. Samsung phones on Sprint almost always have unlocked bootloaders, and the Note 4 is no exception. So because of that, there should be ROMs available for it. Maybe not right away as the phone is brand new, but eventually you'll get there.

So even if you decide you dont like sprint, you can take your phone with you to any carrier you want, doing this with the note 4 ,YMMV!

If I understand your question correctly, no the ROMs for the sprint will be specific to Sprint. You won't be able to use ROM designed for Verizon (CDMA) or AT&T(GSM). Doing so, you run a risk of bricking your phone. It has something to do with kernels I believe.
With that said, most ROMs do get tweaked to be used on Sprint the variant.

Thanks! That's pretty much what I needed. With my M7, there were some Roms that were universal for all GSM varieties, and I wasn't sure how that would work with Sprint.
Since this is my first Samsung phone, I'm curious what developers will come up with as far as touch wiz goes. Would love to see a more vanilla ROM with optional touch wiz features such as multi window and use of the pen.

They come up with all kinds of stuff. You may want to look in to installing Xpose framework and add modules. It may just give the extra pizzazz you're wanting to add.
Obviously, you're going to wait a bit before any ASOP are released. TouchWiz, I would guess, won't be as long as a wait. I would expect the first would be more themed with build in hacks such as Hotspot and 4-option power menu.

Hi everyone, iam looking forward to buying the m9 soon, it is going to be the AT&T version. Usually in the ATT forums on xda there are many different threads almost everyday, but in the case of the htc one m9 there are hardly any new threads. Mostly the development threads are empty. So my question is, is there something i should know, like everyone converting to an unlocked m9 and discussing threads in this specific m9 forum? if no one is converting and there are no ATT threads then it would be rather pointless to get the ATT m9, i might as well buy the galaxy s6
I'm selling my unlocked M9 on swappa if interested!

This post is irrelevant to the question
95% of the activity is in the main M9 forum. Everything over here is usable on the AT&T M9. I got my M9 from AT&T and have been running WWE stuff on it from the beginning with no issues.
if you dont have an m8 then go for m9....
if ypu have something else like the m8 then go for m10 when released....
if you have money enough and dont care.....buy the m9 now and 6 months later m10...i will do this ;D
Thank you for clearing that up, but are the regular roms flashable on AT&T or do i need to change my cid
I just got my M9 and I'm loving it!
Actually I ordered both M9 and Galaxy S6 but decided to return the Samsung after trying out both in a couple of stores.
M9 is soooo much more refined to use both physically and in software.
I would buy this again in an eyeblink!
Changing to supercid is not necessary, but does make life easier if you want to update your firmware. Has nothing to do with the roms.
did the exact same thing. S6 was just ****ty touchwiz and made the entire phone lagged no matter what I did. HTC's software is just more polished and better, and with cm12.1 almost fully functional this phone will be awesome.
