hey all!
just got my sprint htc one m8 a couple days ago (coming from the GSIII), i'm rooted, s-off, and excited to jump into all the new roms... one thing though, i noticed in the sprint htc one m8 forums, there's really nothing in the Original Android Development section, and some roms in the Android Development section. but on this forum (nothing specific to a carrier), there's a whole slew of roms in the Original Android Development section!!! i'm just skeptical and don't know if i have to stick to roms in the Sprint forum.
any help or clarification about the possibility of using roms in this forum would be much appreciated!!! thank you!
Your best bet is to take a look at the ROMs and see if they specifically mention Sprint support or not. If it doesn't specify, search the thread to see if it's been asked. If not, ask. I know for a fact that some do, but not all of them. Enjoy the new device!

Hey guys, just opened my new Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus and got it activated. Any word on any roms that are going to be baked up for the Sprint version? I see there is not an appropriate section yet. I know this is somewhat of a question, but I think other might be looking for this post when they open their phone today too. Thanks!
ditto
You Sprint folks need to learn where to post. Sprint is CDMA...but questions, etc. need to be posted in the appropriate forum.

Actually this forum is specifically for Verizon CDMA. I'm sure a new forum will be started specifically for Sprint.
Doubt it. They are too similar. There is no reason to split the forum for Sprint.
I say a special forum for sprint would keep things less cluttered and less confusing I don't see any harm in it ...
Just a thought ..

unless everything that works for verizon will work on sprint, it defiantly needs a new section

Well in the general sprint galaxy nexus thread looks like everything works except phone service LOL
So a new forum would be nice, but i guess they could just fix a minor something in these roms and put up a sprint version.
I just think it would be less cluttered and crowded if we each had our own section, to discuss whatever..
And how is this Development?.
Thread closed.
Hi guys, so I just got an S3 i747 AT&T coming from iPhone 4s.
I already have it rooted and would like to load a room as close to stock as possible. I really liked the Moto X however, the camera was terrible... I would like to get that experience..
What's most important to me is battery life. I would like to get the most batteyr life possible. Can someone recommend a rom? I was thinking one of the Cyanogenmod ROMs. I thought that 10.2 version is the stable one but it seems that only 10.1 is stable? Would appreciate some advice.
This should be in the Q&A section.
New ROM suggestion threads tend to get closed very quickly around here by the moderators, as there have been entirely too many that often turn into "what's the best ROM, or just pit one ROM against another.
You should always look in the development section, as there are plenty of ROMs there that you might like. Also, every phone is different, so what might work great on one phone might not work the same on yours. You have plenty of Roms in the development section that you can try, so that you can determine whats the best ROM for you. Just read up on them before flashing and follow their directions, and you should be OK.

Thanks so much. I didn't realize this was against the forum rules...
There are so many roms there! I was just asking in terms of battery life or which one you would suggest for someone coming from an iPhone platform.

Android is definitely not iPhone. As far as best battery life refer to the advice given. Try various ROMs that look appealing to you until you find one that is acceptable on your terms.

Quantum ROM would be the best for your battery buddy.
Well, as previously stated, users are expected to do their own research and make their own determination as to what rom is best for them.
All the roms here are the best, try them all.

I have the Droid DNA but merely a year and a half in to it I've lost OS upgrade support from Verizon and HTC. If I upgrade to the One M8
1. Is it a good phone?
2. Will the same thing happen to the One that happened to DNA in only a year?
3. Is there root available?
Thanks in advance
Dude sorry to bash you and say this...but these questions are the most stupid someone ever asked...read through these threads/forum here and you see there is root otherwise there wouldn't be any Roms and kernels and whatever and if you would really read more about HTC news etc you would see this phone is superior and the update support will be 24 month or so active...so please never ask again such questions lol
And post questions in the Q&A section....not the general. What do you think Q&A stands for ?
1: do you think its a good phone
2: ask HTC
3: obviously....if you would have taken the time to check the many threads that cover root questions......
Thread moved to Q&A and Closed
All the answers you'll need are found above and would've easily been found if you'd even only had a quick look through the M8 forum.
Besides, asking a bunch of people who already have this phone whether you should buy this phone is pretty much guaranteeing you one response.
I'll close this as the answers are already here and because pesky trolls love threads like this and I'd rather not use too much troll repellent

Hey devs and gals... I feel like i'm new with HTC again since I've been a Samsung user for the last few years. Yet I decided to get an M8 and Sprint gave me a good deal with HKE...
So me having experience with rom and theming development for GSM Samsung phones yet I feel like a totally noob here with HTC and specially with it being CDMA network...
I did a lot of roms porting back in the day for Samsung phones too.. Again I would like to ask devs if they won't mind add me to their team or individual dev to help me out on refreshing my mind about how things work for HTC and CDMA network so I/we can start rom development.
I know this is an international thread but from experience it is compatible but just need to know witch files I need to changed in order to port and build roms off of another carrier/model
Well the best advice i can give you is to "mingle" in some of the dev threads, see what they are doing and read some stickied info threads for the M8. I don't think there are many devs that will "just" add you to their team instantly.
Cheers.

When I used to do Samsung roms. We devs used to be like family. We would work together on everything.
Not like being on a team but we were all friendly and help each other out..
Here however on Sprint forum devs seems to be to each it's own. They don't seem to care to help other devs.

Well i will not discuss the pro's and cons of different developer teams and forums. I only gave my opinion based on what i see around here.
Hope you find a team where you fit in for future development.
Cheers.
So I Currently Have 2 Phones.
An HTC One M8 ANd An iPhone 7
HTC Is Now My Fun Phone And It's Rooted But IDK Which ROM I Should Download
Any Suggestions?
Battery Life Is A Plus For ROMS
Speed Is Also Important
Someone just made a thread exactly like this yesterday. And there is a much longer, ongoing "best ROM" thread in the general M8 section. We don't need more threads like this.
thread closed, lets use some of the threads that have already had discussion in. There is a lot of useful information within these 2 links.
