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 I want to know if this means the phone is already outdated, will it be getting further updates such as Android M or what will be happening?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

It has the most info about the device.

So I'm extremely interested in Cortana, (not in a weird way) and I kinda freaked out for a second when I saw it on the M8, but then I remembered that they were gonna come out with a Windows version of the M8 and I was wondering if there would ever be a chance for a port of it to our phone.
Just asking because I had a G3 before this and hated it because of the lack of not having an unlockable bootloader. I forgot how customizable and open the phone is. What I mean is I've never owned a phone that you could flash AT&T roms on a T-Mobile variant and vice-versa. Also, how we can turn it into a developer edition or Google Play edition without much hassle.
Or even maybe a Cortana port?
Hello,
Thread has been closed. Please see the stickied thread in the General section here: [Discussion]Porting WP8 To The Android HTC One M8 for all discussions regarding porting Windows to the m8.
Many thanks,

I've had my M8 for about 3 months now... As of a month and a half ago I decided that this Sense crap was getting on my nerves. I logged on here only to discover there's almost no discussion, development or anything else going on here. What happened with this device that nobody is doing a 4.4.4 KitKat update or a 5.0 Lollipop AOSP build for it? Did I miss something big that happened here? I don't recall XDA ever being this barron. Especially on an unlockable HTC device.
too many devices
it really has more to do with the fact that there are WAAAAY too many android devices out there. i'm all for the success of android and the phone companies that make them. A few years ago when android was finally getting popular, there were a handful of devices, most developers had the same devices: htc incredible, incredible 2, galaxy, galaxy 2, etc. with everyone having the same phone, mass development took place...now there are so many rootable phones out there it is difficult to get all the devs on one device. if you have 20 developers and 4 phones to choose from you get a lot of development on each phone....if you have 20 devs and 20 phones to choose from....well, you get it. best advice is when a new device comes out DO NOT run out and buy it the first minute you can slam the money down on the counter and walk away with it. wait a few days...a week...maybe 2....check back on XDA and see what device starts getting the most development. go buy that phone. =]
on a side note, there is a fair amount of development that goes on in the world wide m8 forum area that this forum stems off of. if you read the posts it is easy to adapt your US m8 to use any of those roms. also, viper rom has a decent amount of constant development as well. i have been using this rom for quite awhile and to be honest...it rocks. if youre not using it give it a try. there are tons of customizations to keep you happy =)
go check out the M8 section http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8
After rooting and flashing your recovery you can install pretty much any M8 ROM. Sure the T-mo has WiFi calling but I'm not sure what else it has.
OR you can run your own launcher, get the xposed architecture and start tweaking your stock ROM to do what you want it to do. That was the best method for me as it still runs incredibly stable and I was able to get the majority of the features I wanted like loosing most of sense.

That's it right there. All gsm M8 development is over on there. Also I few sense roms have wifi calling in them.
I know I'm not in the right forum, but since there isn't no one, I will use this one.
I've just recieved my HTC E9+, It's is E9pw the chineese model as far as I can tell.
I'm just loving the viperrom, Is there any chanse to install it on the e9+? and If not, are there any other roms/kernel which allow me extra features?
Thanks for you help
No viperrom for e9+ or m9+ , and probably you'll find some roms only on Chinese forums AFAIK. I don't have an e9+ to develop on, so I can't help you with that, and also my budget for phones/gadgets is off for a while with the expensive m9+. Honestly I don't think there's many users who would donate so a dev could pick up a device, I haven't seen a pledge thread in English, and there's devs for it on China. As it's quite close to m9+ I'd be inclined to dev on it, but I only dev for phones I have. Maybe later there will be some xda dev too with 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.
