[Q] why is the T-Mobile Development scene so small? - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

At least compared to other M8 forums?

Idk, but maybe because we can use international Roms?

Yeah I know but, the AT&T variant can too and they seem way bigger

Most devs , BadSeed included are just waiting for official updates to drop and then it will pick up . Also most devs are making roms universal so they can be adjusted in aroma , and posting in international threads . But rest assured devs are here .. .

^^ Yeah I've been getting all my roms and mods from the regular HTC M8 forums from the start. There's plenty of activity...I think there's just not a lot specific to TMo because there doesn't need to be since we can use all the other stuff anyways.

I love my m8 but it's now my backup device, so many newer phones it kinda screwed m8.

[Q] CDMA Desire (US Cellular)

I just saw a video review of US Cellular's new CDMA version of the HTC Desire. No doubt the people who buy this phone will discover all sorts of information on this forum... info that could (I'd imagine) seriously harm their phone if they try to flash their CDMA Desire with a GSM Desire ROM!
Might it be appropriate to give this variant its own subforum? Or failing that, post some prominent warnings that the US Cellular HTC Desire is a significantly different piece of hardware?
I guess nobody with one of these has discovered the forum here yet?
(noob here). Can it really cause that much problems? I'm going to be picking up the Desire from Telus soon. Are you saying that I won't be able to use the current custom ROMS?

The Telus Desire is not CDMA - it's GSM/HSPA like all the others. Custom ROMs will work as long as they support the SLCD screen (some are written only for AMOLED screens).
I'm specifically talking about the US Cellular HTC Desire, which is the first CDMA version to be released.
And so it begins...

I have mine as well. Can we root with the guides using the desire from other carriers?

And has anyone who has gotten the new USC Desire, have you tried the current root method to see if it works. I have doubts that it will.

agree with the OP.
just like the sprint hero and the GSM hero.
need to be a subsection. like you said it could seriously damage the phones if they flash the wrong things. hope a mod creates a different section soon.
+1 on that. There's a lot of people out there who don't even know the different between GSM & CDMA.
Also, it would help for development in general (root and roms.)
I really think the mods should open seperate forums for Desire GSM and Desire CDMA, because as both phones use completely different radios, chances are it will wreck the phone if you put a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone.
Anyone know who any of the mods for the Desire forum are? I would just PM them but I'm not sure who they are.

[Request]TW/GE Rom all in one

I saw this posted on MoDaCo, the HTC One switching between Sense and Google Edition with no loss of data..
With all of out great devs this should be possible for our phone since it's better than the HTC One.

[Poll and Discussion] HTC One M8 or Galaxy S5

Which of the two do you prefer and why? I'd like to hear especially from those who have used both phones. I've used the M8 and was quite impressed, but haven't used the S5 yet.
Link to poll on S5 forum:

Indeed. I'm going to post the same poll over on the S5 forum and see what the results look like. I'm curious to see if the forum section causes that much bias
S5 has KNOX. That is a non-starter.

I can't tell if you are joking or not by putting this poll in the HTC M8 forum, where HTC fans will be...
Just another troll?

I am fairly brand unbiased, and am back and forth between the S5 and M8 forums. I figure there will be others doing the same. I have put the same poll in each forum, and there are more advocating for the M8 in both. Not trying to troll

Please link the poll on the S5 forum but these results will all be tainted either way. Honestly all you can do is wait to see actual people’s reactions to the good and the bad that both phones will enviably have and choose the lesser of the two evils.
I currently have my M8 and really like it although there are something’s I don't like (lack of "Okay, Google" except in the Google now program, can't put DashClock as the main widget, and actually I met with my parents for lunch today who are both on old ass phones and they had better speed tests than me.... I tried updating the PRL but I had zero service when they had weak LTE/3g for Sprint.
How much free storage space in 16GB model for both phones?

I added the link for the S5 forum in the M8 poll and vise versa. 2 votes M8 there and 1 S5 as of now... M8 forum is actually much more active

Developer Support (lack thereof) for the HTC One E8

Hi XDA,
I had debated buying a m8 vs e8 and ended up buying the e8 due to dual SIM necessity for myself .
However, after buying this device, my biggest gripe is that there is absolutely near zero developer love for the e8. [emoji31]
The e8 is basically a m8 stripped of the IR blaster and camera changed. THAT'S IT.
Can the devs at m8 forums please show some mercy to us folks and release a tweaked version of their roms for the e8?<---once again this is a request or plea for some help, and thanks if you took the time to read.
Thanks and please let another xda lover or developer know if this can be done.

It will come eventually. Devs need to actually own/have access to a device to work on it. Most devs have the M8, not the E8.
Patience is needed. There will be something eventually.
Also, google is your friend.
This is what I got from a simple google search (e8 roms).

Thanks for the hopeful words!!
I'll wait for support to build up eventually.
I did a fair bit of googling,and I found ROMS (the precious little available ) are for the China Unicom version - m8sw and these don't work on m8sd. Just my luck eh??
Developers please make ROMs for e8 also...please
Please devs ... Please support m8sd ... We need more roms for this device

I thought every snapdragon device has development.But e8 eventually proved me wrong.No development so far .Not even cm.Even HTC desire 816 got unofficial cm.I m feeling screwed by choosing this device by selling off my canvas 4 which device got cynogenmod (though it is mediatek) and tons of roms.
Devs please have a look on e8.Device is gr8 in all terms but lacking development.
I posted all over xda and official Cynogenmod forum but no response yet.
Sent from my HTC One_E8 dual sim
Because most devs have the M8 and aren't interested in getting the e8 cause it's just not really any upgrade.
So yeah, as said development I'm sure will come, but I'd expect it to be fairly quiet. Won't be near what the M8 development is anyway.
Patience. ?

This won't help. We need to be noticed by the awesome developers on m8 development threads. They won't bother to look into a 'help' thread unless we post on their dev threads and beg them for mercy.
Boy are we screwed thoroughly. [emoji28] [emoji33]

Take it upon yourself and make your own ROM
If you're after a stock rooted ROM then you can do that yourself easily. Then you can add tweaks with sense 6 toolbox and xposed.

Now a days E8 only serving purpose of playing high end games.:thumbdown:
As well as their are 2 variants of same model. We have m8sd.so we have to find an Indian developer.:sly:

Begging likely won't help either. If a dev is not internally motivated to make a ROM (usually since they own the device) they usually won't just do so because you beg or request it. You can try to start a bounty to create a monetary motive. But really, your best bet is to make one yourself, as previously suggested.

The only way that will work is you buy and send to them an E8. They can't develop for a device they don't own or have access to.

Unless you're out for the most advanced thing in the world it will be easy. It takes patience but its something worth learning. I tried my hand at it, and since I was helpful around the forums I got help from countless devs (mostly from Team Venom) to learn to do what I wanted.
Although my main interest is themeing, I wanted to make something unique to my device and be able to say yes I did this myself.

Nice. Good luck. Its something I've always wanted to try my hand at, but my personal life (2 kids, including one new baby) just doesn't presently support it. There are a number of good guides on XDA, easily found by searching. This one caught my eye in particular, as it refers to MIUI, and is also very current and updated:

The only thing I called it my custom rom is to root it and delete some bloatware. LOL
Any E8 rom please? :C

When HTC ONE M9+ will be released in Europe (maybe september) you will find more about it... be patient... It has been just launched...
My opinion after owning both.
