I was wondering if ever there will be a time that the GS3 will have a HTC One rom? I figure since they ported over a Z1 earlier maybe they can port an HTC One.
I know what some of you might say " buy an HTC phone" I'm just curious I had an HTC Thunderbolt when it first came out and loved the UI but had issues of course with the phone. but now, with the new HTC One it'll be nice to play with it on the GS3
I doubt that Galaxy S3 does not support Sense UI Framework. You could try and see if the Launcher can be installed on S3. You'd have to get someone with HTC to grab the 2 APKs for you.

Yeah, I remembered seeing this but the Dev stopped this project. Maybe I'll leave the GS3 world and jump back to HTC. Not really concerned with camera. i don't take that much pictures anyway. if I do, I'm not looking for professional quality, just a picture. So maybe I'll get the HTC One M8. We'll see.
I've had this ROM on my phone for several months now; it has the sense launcher/icons so it will look/run like an HTC phone even though its not an actual HTC port. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but oh well

Does anyone think they'll be able to convert the M8 into the Google Play Edition like the M7? I'm assuming it will be possible and I know nobody knows for sure, but I'm looking for a slight amount of reassurance in my purchasing of the M8 Dev Edition. Not only does it make sense for me from a financial standpoint (the Dev Edition is $50 cheaper and I wouldn't have to pay sales tax like I do on Google Play, so I'm saving about $80), I'm also interested in trying out the new Sense 6.0 features for a while. That being said, after a month or so I'll probably be craving stock Android and will want to make the switch. Are there any Devs or any people who have more knowledge than I do that might be working on such an option in the near future? Thanks!
I also would like to know this, looking to purchase mine from Rogers.
I'd assume once development gets going there probably will be a convert around.
EDIT: This thing is only a few hours old so far, gotta give it a little time :good:
I will be taking care of it just like I did for the m7
I have an AT&T version coming tomorrow and a dev edition next week. Once someone gets a gpe I'll walk them through pulling everything I need for the conversion process.. Of course we will need s-off to flash the ruu but I should be able to at least put one together off a gpe...

Sounds awesome! Being able to convert my AT&T M7 to a GPE was my favorite part of owning the phone.
My two year upgrade is coming soon and I am wondering how is the htc one I have heard many good things about would anyone recommend it for my upgrade or should I wait for the htc one m8 which one is better and is there a custom recovery for it can the bootloader be unlocked on the one
The m8 is already out for Verizon and would get the m8. Heard there is already root for it. Can't see in wasting my upgrade on an almost year old phone. Plus you might get a m7 with the purple camera tint in low light. Not to mention you will see devs to start moving to the m8 and other phones. In the end it's up to you.

If I were in your shoes I would go for the M8 just to have the latest and greatest. There is a root method now but as I understand it right now there is no S-Off method.
I still have unlimited data so I got the M7 off contract at a great price as an upgrade to my GNex, and I love it.
I still cant make up my mind. Just not sure the M9 will be worth it over keeping the M8. I live by Pittsburgh pa, so meeting @dottat and do the javacard would not be an issue. The problem I have is that the with slight upgrade compared to the M8 and if we cant achieve root(sunshine) the support isn't going to be there with kernels, firmware, and devs. Im sure ViperRom will do its best to keep verizon support but as we all know verizon tends to be on the backburnner. With every device being more and more locked up and verizon to refuse htcdev, plus since it seams GPE's are dead I am thinking the way to go would be is to switch to the new nexus phone if I dont get the M9 but who knows if verizon will decide to do nexus again so jump ship to att or tmobile. If I get the Verizon M9, I will be stuck with big red for 75% of the cost of the phone(unless I pay off early). All that being said I love HTC's started with the HTC Sensation that I still use from time to time then (got the S3 hated it and put sense5 on it lol) M7 and M8 and sense is the best. I would like your input, so should I get the M9 and chance the support or hold out and wait for exploit. Thank you for your time!

If you like sense like I do....there's only one answer. I love how this thing feels compared to the m8 now. Quite a few devs already have s-off so the support should be here.
Lots of new phones coming soon, including a couple of fancy Motorola and HTC devices. Sit right, hang on, then pounce on something.
My M9 is a great phone other than the Camera. I'm going to trade it in for the G4. I miss the larger screen size of the N6.

I think the M9 is going to prove to be the better phone, besides the new Nexus but that won't be til Christmas. HTC Sense is a force to be reckoned with! Lol. I know the camera is going to get better and for me, the call quality on this device is amazing. I think the "Edge" and the fingerprint reader are not worth ditching Sense and no external sdcard is a bummer for the wannabe iphone. With HTC Sense we do not need a whole lot of dev support, most of it is fine the way it is. But the support we do get from our great dev's turn the HTC into beasts. I know how great the HTC community is and the HTC phones so for me I am very happy with this beast. Now I cannot wait for the M10!
If my m8 didn't start giving me problems even after taking such great care of it, I would not have gotten the m9. M8 runs cooler with better battery life. I like the look and feel of the metal grey on the m8 better too. Oh well, root helps enough with heat and battery life to get me by until whatever HTC comes up with next ( if it's any good )

Just bought an M9, will see what it looks like. Been a HTC One since the start for years now. Don't want to bail if I don't have to. I'm a VZW customer currently, in that for a long time, so will see. Was hoping for a better camera and some better S-Off support without sending it to someone.
With the HTC stock price and beating they are taking...I guessing they might be coming up with something entirely new by the end of the year/early next year maybe?!?!?!
It is time for a platform/name/design change...and not like Samsung which is a direct Rip of iPhone and a poorer OS...haha..
Seems like the M9 is really dragging with support, and guys are jumping to the S6, but believe they are in the same boat. Plus, I really like Sense.
Guess we just need root/SU and a custom recovery anyway, and we got Viper and the likes and can move from there. S6 is still higher priced now if you buy cash like me, and there is even less support for that.
Just hoping for better camera support and VZW love DEV etc...

It's getting there.
With 5.1 I find the M9 to be better.
If I was to of answered this whilst on 5.0.2, I would have said I liked M8 batter.
5.1 for the M9 brings much better support for camera, heat and battery which were my main issues with the M9 when I first got it.

Are you running stock/OTA? Or a custom ROM.
I've always s-off, guess VZW still doesn't have that support..but unlock/root and been running Viper for a long time on the M7/M8 variants.
Thanks

Ditto, 5.0.2 and the camera drove me crazy, 5.1 with the camera and thermal management is alot better. From what I hear @hgoldner the next 5.1 build will be better still camera wise.

Thanks guys...guess I will stick with the M9 that is on the way and get it s-off, then do the normal stuff, custom Rom since feedback on the latest update has improved the camera. Really my only complaint with the HTC One M7/M8 was the horrible camera...glad to hear it is improving.

Yea man. Take a good look over the phone when you get it and then waste no time getting s-off lol
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.
