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.

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. ?
Any progress guys?

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.

Yup I guess so.
We are screwed.
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.

Thanks for the responses.
I'm already looking into starting the work myself, but this will take long.

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

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.
So, i'm planning on getting the htc one m8s, but there is no xda support for it. Like the phone doesn't exist. I want to know if this means the phone is already outdated, will it be getting further updates such as Android M or what will be happening? Very few reviews of this phone and it's all so quiet. I really like the specifications and everything about it, but i don't want to feel like i'm the only person with that phone and i don't want to be stuck with Lollipop 5.0.
Why not keep the M8s questions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3114245
It has the most info about the device.
I'm going to explain my situation from the start so no one gets confused. I bought an LG G4 h818p not knowing it wouldn't have an unlockable bootloader so I'm basically stuck with LG's horrible horrible UI. But I know a guy who's looking to exchange his HTC one m9 for my G4. His model number is 0PJA100. So I'm doing this just for a raincheck but does this model have an unlockable bootloader? If so, is development good for it? Custom Development is one of the things that matter most to me when buying a phone. So I don't know why I bought this LG.
Every variant except the Verizon one , can be unlocked with htcdevs website.

Regarding development: it depends on what you're looking for. We have many talented developers and development teams in both original Android development and Android development (ie, AOSP & stock based). HTC is neither the most or least developer-friendly, so results can be mixed.
Things that are currently hang-ups for non-stock ROMs include IR blaster, double-tap to wake, encryption, and some sound issues. You can get an idea of how that all is going by browsing the top threads in those forums.

Thank you for your answer. One more question, do you think it would be unwise to move to the m9 after having owned a g4? Camera isn't a big deal to me but I'd still like a decent camera. Is the m9's at least that? I just don't want to rush into another thing that I might regret later on.

I'm afraid I can't help you much in comparing the two: I've never had a LG G4 and don't know much about its camera. That said, I'm very satisfied with the HTC M9 camera. I use it occasionally and have no complaints.
Hi all,
I have a HTC E9 dual but current rom only support to 5.0, find rom cook is also not.
I see the spec of the HTC E9 same Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, can i use rom cook 6.0 of redmi note 2 flash for E9?
If you want to flash, can i port rom?
Thank all.
Help me, please.
Help me, please.
Help me, please.
Nothing can be done, mate. As you can see there's multiple threads about it. Without active dev or someone that can properly port a rom, nothing will change. There is no source of any kind for the E9+. And with the time passing the chances for a port or a custom rom are getting slim. I'm waiting for my contract upgrade due end of september and i'm leaving the sinking HTC ship. There's proper support for only a handfull devices. Everything else is doomed. I'm with HTC since the Touch Cruise model with windows 6.x. But the last 3 years i had enough with HTC. No wonder they are going down. Even the U11 won't save them. This company is doomed. Btw E9+ is already in EOL phase, so no official support for it.
