Hello All,
I am new to the forum and first of all I want to say thanks for every one who contributed so far.
I was able to unlock and root my htc one M8 dual sim using info from a thread on this forum.
Now i am wondering if I can make my phone have Nexus software (the software on nexus 5 phone)? I prefer the pure google version vs the Htc version.
How can this be done? I assume flashing a custom rom? Please if someone can explain to me or point me to a direction it would be great.
Mostly I like the way nexus outlines the contacts and the dialpad (missed calls, dialed contacts...) better than the htc.

I think what you want is the GPE conversion. It's stock Android.

Not sure if it works with dual sim.
Yes stock android GPE is what I want. But the link you provided doesn't seem to work for dual sim.
or maybe I should try what's suggested here?

You are right. hehe sorry im new to android scene, its a bit confusing at first.
As per my google research, I am yet to find a GPE for HTC M8 dual sim, which doesn't seem logical in my head.
The current software (sens) is based on GPE right? so GPE should be available somewhere....or I am halucinating?

Hello every one,
I am trying to up custom rom into my HTC ONE X with version 4.1, but some posts say that I have to check my CID.
I checked it and I see my CID is VODAP021 (--> can not up rom android 4.1)
And my question is:
I search about ONE X then in wiki say that VODAFONE is Australia is an ONE XL (dual-core).
link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_One_X#Model_comparison_table
But when I check the information in my ONE X, it is quad-core.
In the other hand, quad-core is an One X (International) version (as the table from the link above said) (-->can up rom 4.1)
I am a newbie so I am scared making my phone bricked, so I want to ask you all about that.
I really hope some one with the good knowledge about this could explain it to me.
Thank you so much.
hmmm... in not really sure what you want.
So, first are you sure what version of one x you have? is it tegra 3 and quad-core? that is your model?
If that is the case, i dont see the problem. i just yesturday unlocked, rooted, and flashed my One X with newest CM 10.1 (4.2.2)
I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Please, be more precise and i may help you.

My ONEX is quad-core version, but it have CID is MODAP021 (a version in Australia). Moreover, it is listed in the list of phones which is not allow to up rom 4.1
link of the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Thank you for answer me so soon.
An additional question, I realize that auto-brightness does not work. The screen seems to be at 100% brightness; even though day or night, outdoor or indoor. I think it does not work because oneX does not have sensor for bightness, does it?

I believe it does have a sensor, for me it changes. But then again, I'm running a sense based custom rom.

i checked the thread you posted, and this is only for official FW upgrades that were out by HTC
no problem whatsoever to flash 4.2.2. if you want...its just not OFFICIAL ofcourse.

Hello all, I've been following the M8 forum for a few weeks in anticipation of getting a new phone on May 8th. I have a bit of a noob question though, one that I've been unable to find the answer to myself.
Which version of ARHD 5.0 should I install on a T-Mobile HTC One M8? I've been following their thread for a while and intend to unlock/root/install ARHD within a few days of getting the device. I see mentions of the international version as well as different versions for each US carrier. My understanding is that GSM carriers can install international versions whereas CDMA carriers must install their specific variants.
If my understanding is correct and you are able to install the international version or the T-Mobile version, then what is the difference?
I appreciate any help. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to rooting and flashing roms, but I'm coming from a VZW Galaxy Nexus where it was pretty much idiot proof. I've been running the same ROM for so long that I know exactly how to flash it each time a new update is released. It didn't have specific variants because the ROM was designed specifically for the VZW Gnex. So I'm a little confused by the different variants and want to make sure I don't mess anything up a week after I get the phone.
Again, thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me wade through my confusion.
You can flash any GSM variant.
The differences will be whatever the carrier has done to tweak their version of the roms, included apps, tweaked settings, signal icons etc.

Hey guys I'm thinking about converting my phone to Google play edition, my only question is that if I do convert, will I still be able to flash other roms no problem if I'm not liking the GPE, when I day other roms I mean aokp specifically or will I have to do other things /convert back?

Read those two threads, as I guess your questions are answered there:
GPE conversion
Back to Sense
Be aware that Sense and GPE are different in partition sizes, so it depends on the question at hand: are you running a full conversion, or just installing an AOKP ROM on you sense edition after the bootloader unlock.
im saying that if i convert to google play edition CAN I FLASH AN AOKP ROM IF I DONT LIKE IT, i would NOT want to return to sense, right now i am running aokp with s off and unlocked bootloader

If you would have read the thread in my first links you would have found the following just at top of the first post ....
graffixnyc said:
This will NOT work on a CDMA HTC One GSM ONLY!
PSA After converting you will not be able to flash Sense based roms due to the different size of the system partitions between the sense version and the GPe. To get back to sense please follow the steps in post #2

Hello folks,
I recently purchased a HTC one M8 and it is currently running 5.01 (Sense 6.0) and I would like to change to the GPE
I'm wondering if this is possible and if anyone could offer any help for someone who hasn't done this before? I am a former BlackBerry and iPhone user! (This is my first Android)

Yes you can but there are a number of steps first. It depends on whether you want the full GPE conversion which in effect makes your phone a GPE or just a rom.
You will need to unlock the bootloader, root and s-off.
Have a read through this from @vomer, it's a great guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
Then you can take a look here for the full GPE.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I followed the posts instructions and was able to root my phone successfully. Much appreciated.
I now have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with.
For S-Off, it says:
SunShine is our bootloader unlock/s-off tool for Motorola and HTC phones. We currently support most HTC phones, and Moto X (2013), MotoG (2013) and Droid Maxx/Mini/Ultra. All users are supported up to 4.4.3, and some users may have success on 4.4.4. Our planned 3.0 release will add support for HTC devices on 4.4.4 and 5.0.X.
Which makes me wonder whether it will work on my device, since I am running 5.0.1

Ok, I installed it and ran the tests and it says it's incompatible. ****ing great.
Is there a way to regress back to 4 and then S-off?
I cant Help but Personally I think you are lucky, I went from sense 4.4.4 to GPE 5.0.1 using sunshine to get s-off, it's not that great, sense is FAR better IMO.
Also I think I've now bricked my phone trying to go back to sense. :crying:

Does anyone have a firmware flash that removes the red text from your boot screen ?
I know there is one in the regular m9 section, but since its not posted here in the verizon m9 dev section I"am assuming that one does not work for ours with good reason since our firmware is different than theirs.
i have been searching for the same thing! its the last thing on my to do list for me honestly. i dont really know if supercid will work for us to flash international located in the remove red text aboot thread because then everyone else would be upgrading to 1.40 firmware and we would be seeing it around the vzw forums but i dont see it or any information about it...can anyone else chime in??
I feel like until HTC releases firmware update files for Verizon version then we will have to wait.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678
Speaking of firmware, is there an updated verizon firmware to 1.4xxxx? (Not trying to hijack the thread)

That thread does not list anywhere that it works for the verizon m9, it only lists international, at&t and tmobile as it includes international firmware. If anyone flashes that on a verizon m9 most likely their phone will be very upset and the owner may end up with a brick.
If that worked for our verizon variant I"am sure someone would have created a thread for it in our own verizon dev section.
You cannot flash a gsm firmware on a cdma verizon m9 and expect to not be regretting it lol. :crying:
In the last post on that thread someone even asks if it would work for a verizon m9 which with that being based on international firmware its pretty safe to say no it wont unless you like playing with fire I would say steer clear of that flash if you have a cdma verizon m9 or a cdma sprint m9 also.

There is an Asian guy that usually will port over an international firmware to work on verizon as he has done it on the verizon m8 I believe a couple times so keep watching the verizon m9 dev threads and you might see it, if so chances are Andy Bones will probably use that as a base to build a new version of his Fluent rom as he has in the past on the m8 which he supports the verizon m9 with Fluent rom also.
So basically if there is a way Andy Bones will find it, honestly his Fluent rom will give you the best and newest software you will find for the verizon m9.
There are a lot of good other roms but honestly most other roms just adapt to work on our verizon m9's where a rom that is made for ours will work better than one that is altered to work and where others may be based on firmware that is not verizon firmware and other roms many of the devs do not even have a verizon m9, just saying usually the best rom for your device is one made for yours and the the dev or devs themselves run your same verizon.
I"am not in any way putting down other devs with other roms because honestly they do not have to support our version they just do it because they want people to have options which is great, just try them all and decide for yourself.
In the last post on that thread someone even asks if it would work for a verizon m9 which with that being based on international firmware its pretty safe to say no it wont unless you like playing with fire I would say steer clear of that flash if you have a cdma verizon m9 or a cdma sprint m9 also.

I agree completely - anyone flashing firmware should be very cautious or thorough in making sure everything's in order. Trust me, I would never want someone to brick their phone.
Reason I pointed in the direction of that thread was that the Viper devs are saying that 1.40.xxx is needed for their 2.x.x ROMs. In fact, multiple VZW users are running v2.x.x on firmware 1.33.xxx just fine, myself included.
hmm we do need no red text FAUX aboot dont we:fingers-crossed:
No one have no red text aboot.img?
The ruu is out, just need a developer at this point

Will this change our cosmetic firmware number or did he edit the number back to be the original Verizon firmware.
