Can anyone port any custom rom(s) of One (M8) to his younger brother One (E8)? I'm not a developer but I think changing device ID and camera modules will enough (Fingers Crossed). Specs are similar to One (M8). No one is caring about this High End phone. Sometimes it feels like I made a mistake by choosing E8.
We totally need some ported ROMs on the E8!! BUMPED!
Don't expect too much support to none, most devs will jump to the M9 instead of stepping back to the E8
Please, guys, any ROM, or kernel? :C

So, after years of loving my trusty HD2, I finally decided to upgrade to something new, and I've gotten myself an HTX One X+.
After doing quite a lot of reading here I *think* I have a grip on things (more or less) but would appreciate some confirmation (or, of course, please correct me if I'm wrong)...
The one x+ is pretty much the same thing as the quad core one x and as I understand it, I can...
Sim unlock using one of the many online services to get a code
Get a semi s-off from htcdev that will allow me to install clockwork recovery and custom roms
get root through either a custom rom or the method described here in the forums
And that's pretty much it until a complete s-off method is found
Does that sound about right or am I missing something?
I've spent a lot of time reading but these things are not always clear to me so I thought it safer to ask before trying anything.
Any advice or input is appreciated. thanks!
one x+ is more advanced than one x...
one x+
1.7ghz processor(upgrade from dual core chip)
(internal storage)*2 of one x(64 GB)
2100mAh battery
1.6MP front camera
one x
1.5ghz
32GB
1800mAh
1.3MP
even when u have s-on,u can install custom roms and custom recoveries.
get rooted through process described in forums.
Sounds about right.
Please check One X+ forums.

Hi,
I ask here for your help because I am planning to buy a new phone in the near future, and I am currently deciding between the One S with Snapdragon S4 and the One X with Tegra 3.
I would be very, very grateful if someone could tell me which one is better from the perspective of custom ROM development. Which one has more stable and less buggy CyanogenMod or similar AOSP-based ROMs? I've been lurking here in the One S and One X sections for some time and I can see that neither of those two phones is bugless, but I don't know how severe these problems are, if it is a dealbreaker or you can live with it. Also I get the feeling that the Tegra 3 is lacking in terms of development support and Qualcomm devices are better suited for future development. Is that so or am I wrong?
Another thing which I consider is the display quality, although it is not the main one. I know that the One X has a denser screen with better color reproduction than the One S, due to being an LCD panel, but the blacks are not as deep as the AMOLED on the One S. Is there a big difference? Do the blacks shine too much at night? It would be very cool if someone could post a good photo of the One X displaying a black screen at night.
Just one more question, how does the picture quality from the Sense camera compare to picture quality from CyanogenMod? I know Sense takes better pictures because it is optimized for the hardware, but is it a big difference?
Thank you really much for your answers, I aprecciate your help.
PS.: I posted a similar question here in the One S forum, if you want to take a look.
This is what HTC says on Reddit (and that answers the part about Nvidia vs Qualcomm quite honestly):
To address an issue that’s top of mind for many folks here, we recently announced that we wouldn’t be updating the HTC One X and One X+ beyond Android 4.2. Without the support of our chip manufacturer Nvidia, it made a global update of One X and X+ devices impossible. However, in US the One X uses the Qualcomm chip and an upgrade would be possible, but we didn’t think it would be a good experience for our customer base to update the X, but not the X+. This update caused a huge stir amongst owners and we’ve heard you loud and clear, so we’re now actively exploring how we can make the jump to 4.4.

So, Qualcomm FTW. But one thing I can't understand is how the Nexus 7 2012 got KitKat, when it's using the Tegra 3 too. It still feels like Nvidia abandoned it on 4.1, though.

The nexus 7 has the T30L while the OneX/X+ use AP33/37. Nvidia still provides support for T30L but not for AP3x.

I'm considering getting either the X or the X+. Dev support is very important for me, as I highly doubt I'll be sticking with the Stock ROM. So I just wanted to know if all the development of the Nokia X is compatible with the X+, all the ROMs. It isn't very different in specifications from the X. Can somebody please answer this? Thanks.
Hello devs!
I would like to know if there is any ROM for the HTC One M8 with the old Sense 3.0 (which was on e. g. Desire S) or Sense 3.5 (e. g. Sensation). I know it ran on the completely outdated Gingerbread, but in my opinion these were the last truly amazing HTC Sense systems. Also, if somebody is interested, I'd be really grateful for a backport like this, if it does not exist yet.
Thanks for any answer!
Nope there is not one like that.
Such a port would probably be pretty difficult, as any Sense 3 ROMs would only exist for older and completely different hardware. Lots of work, for something that is 3 generations obsolete; so its really not going to happen.
Hey everybody,
I know I maybe should've started this thread in Butterfly Q&A section but there are far more geeks here in M8 section as M8 is more available internationally, so Mods please don't move this thread, if possible
So I was considering to buy the nice Butterfly 2, everything seemed perfect in it, until I found out that it's really terrible in developing stuff, it even doesn't have a section in xda, even though the original Butterfly and the nice old Butterfly S have!
So, the question is, is it possible to have M8 Custom Roms converted to Butterfly 2 without much struggle, as they are literally the same, aside from camera and body? I mean is it done for other similar phones such as E8, or maybe Xperia Z2 to Z3 etc?
I've read some topics about converting Roms by mostly copy-pasting files for similar devices but, those were just too old, Android should've changed a bit now...
I'm really disappointed as I finally found Butterfly 2 as the perfect phone for me, but there I am with another thing to stop me buying it :/
The Z3 is awesome for me too, but misses IR Blaster, nice audio quality, has those flaps for ports, has less details in camera even though it's 20 vs 13, and doesn't have nice looking hot design of HTC devices...
Any help is appreciated, thanks
