I had the Nexus 4 and liked the pure android experience. I am in a dilemma right now on whether or not to sell my ATT HTC One. I'm thinking that since the HTC One Nexus version won't have anything over it, like Sense, that it would run alot more snappier and quicker. Also I would be getting all the updates from Google pretty quickly. The only that holding me back is the hefty price tag. Is anyone else out there also thinking about switching over to the Google Edition of the HTC One? Do you guys think its worth the switch and the hassle I would have to go through, i.e. selling the phone, limited amounts of the phone, delays, etc.? Thanks

What I will tell you is that you probably won't get the selling points that sold the HTC one.
Example: boomsound and blink feed.
HTC One X (Tegra 3)
ROM: Viper X 3.6.1
KERNEL: Viper X stock
CID: HTC_001
NETWORK: O2 UK
If you are willing to root your device I'm 99.9% sure you'll be able to flash the stock Android the nexus version comes with it. So to me there really is no reason to get rid the the ATT One and getting the nexus One

Supposedly some people are speculating that if we get S-off (which we will) well be able to change out CID (and whatever else) so that we'll be able to receive those updates straight from Google. It just wouldn't be worth the hassle to sell your ATT One and then get the Nexus version.

Just remember that the 'nexus' HTC one and the galaxy S4 have very little of their own features due to the lack of HTC Sense of Samsung touchwiz.

they already confirmed boom sound will still be present. just no icon
Unless you don't want to be bothered with installing ROMS yourself when they come out, there's no reason to switch to the Google Phone. THEY ARE THE SAME DEVICE...
HTC may allow existing HTC One owners to replace Sense with stock Android.
http://bgr.com/2013/05/31/htc-one-stock-android-rom/
Lets simplify this, the ATT Variant is the exact same as the International Dev Variant, which is the exact same as the Google Edition....ATT has an unlocked BL check, ATT can flash international version roms check, the only thing that differs is the CID, if S-OFF and Super-CID get released, you can change the CID to match the Google Edition and boom you have your updates straight from google while having saved 400+ dollars...Also even if you cant change the CID, once and update from google gets pushed, usually within an hr a dev has a TWRP/CWM version available to flash on our device.
Why we keep getting stupid questions like the title of this thread? Its the same exact phone you're on XDA why wouldn't we have a flashable ROM?
Go right ahead and sell your phone and buy yourself the exact same phone.

So to turn AT&T HTC One into Developer Edition or Nexus Edition and have working OTA (when it released later this month), all we need is
1. S-OFF the phone and change CID
3. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.com
2. Flash to either Developer Edition or Nexus Edition rom?
AM I missing a step or two?

Hey fellow XDAers! I'm a Galaxy Nexus guy myself. my sister is on AT&T and asked me to recommend a phone. i am trying to keep the price down to the $100 mark. i saw this phone for $100 on contract. i loved my OG EVO and spec'ing this phone against the SGS3 it looks like a win for HTC, plus, the HTC model is newer and Sense IMO is better than TW. i've been out of the loop with HTC progress for a while and just wondered if you were generally pleased with your phone and would recommend it to a family member. this phone will likely never be rooted so the prospect of future (Official OTA) support is pretty important, i know you'd be guessing on that factor...

Otherwise, I love what I've made my One X+ capable of, however, out of the box, the only thing I would warn a perspective buyer about is the somewhat dreadful battery life.
Tegra 3 is a hog is you don't underclock\ undervolt\ bring cores offline.

Yup, and I really don't remember many devs leaving the One X to go to the SG3. Maybe a couple, but we still have many of the same awesome devs we had at the start, and then more that came on later. Possibly due to the price of the device dropping over time, and getting into the hands of more devs.
Will a more popular device have more devs and more ROMs? Sure. But as long as you have "enough" development, who really cares about the actual number of ROMs?
The performance specs of the 2 phones are very similar, but the One is obviously the better piece of hardware from an exterior "industrial design" standpoint. The SGS4 is just a rehash of Sammy's cheap plastic casing design. Devs aren't going to ignore that.
This is a flagship phone and it's coming out on multiple carriers.
You can bet there's going to be support. It's not like one of HTC's throwaway phones like the Rezound or the Sensation.

I would expect development for the One to be better than the already-great development for the One XL, because my understanding is that the international One and the LTE One are identical - at least development-wise as opposed to the One X, which had a community split between the Tegra 3-based One X and the S4-based One XL. It's also a really good sign that a couple of kernel sources for the HTC One are already available as-of last night.
The only real question is whether or not the AT&T HTC One will be rootable/bootloader unlockable.

Yeah I asked Torxx in the Trickdroid thread about this and he said that his rom should flash on this phone. I've also read that there's virtually no difference between any of the One's except for network bands supported for different carriers/regions which has no effect on rom flashability. Just enter in your correct APN for your carrier and away u go
I believe there will have support very soon

We do not know anything for certain currently.
The fact as it currently stands, it could be like the Droid DNA (unlockable before release, locked after carrier release), or it could actually be unlockable after release. Confirmation on unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. will not come until after the phone is officially released through AT&T on the 19th.
The world is not going to end if it is not unlockable for the AT&T one, I am sure someone will find an exploit. I understand that HTC is hurting, and wants money, but it just doesn't make sense to have a developer version that basically only supports AT&T customers, if the AT&T one can be unlocked.
Sit back, relax and wait until the 19th. I know the suspense sucks, but trust me, we all will manage.

The one x was never unlockable at HTCdev that i know of. I had one of the early ones that walmart was selling (before official release) and it couldnt be unlocked. (not without changing CID) The ATT One X+ which came after the One X is unlockable at HTCdev, still is to this day. Why would ATT allow the One X+ to be unlocked and not the One? I say the signs look good. Cant compare to DNA, different carrier. 18th may be right, he normally is. bottom line is we wont know till after launch. I do have a couple questions..99% is a pretty definitive. where do you get those numbers? and why do you think the ATT X+ is unlockable?
Sorry if I seemed misleading. 99% was based on facts that were created in my personal opinion I really have no more information than anybody else. I don't understand why the x+ is unlockable when HTC is STILL investing in keeping the one x locked up.
I can only speculate that the x+ was knowingly released at a terrible time market wise, and there was no real reason for people to pay or use a upgrade to get the device so it was left as a possible incentive to pull in owners of the one x and other devices. again, I really have no clue and don't mean to offer any information that is incorrect or misleading

Yeah thats good news I thought you had some insider information. The X+ was definitely released at a bad time, development sucks because of it. Some nice improvements over the X but not worth paying full price. I like the ONE so much i'm buying 2 at full price if i can. Have the dev edition coming and will buy an ATT if i can get it early. ATT did an early upgrade for the x+ so i doubt they will do it again so soon.
I've been debating whether or not it would be worth it to upgrade to the one from my Verizon DNA. I know there are talks of a "supercharged" version of the one.... But I also like the fact of being able to go down to AT&T and pick up one tomorrow on my day off

DNA has the same screen just bigger, same feel and look. Now with mods probably the same features. I guess it comes down to if you want to go with the metal or not.

I don't think so, Verizon uses different radios. This MAY be possible with the sprint version but the DNA was special and had both CDMA and GSM. Just wait for Verizon to release, may take a while but it will be worth it. Remember that verizon won't activate just any phone. Usually it has to be one of theirs. It's not like GSM phones where you pop a sim in.

That's what confuses me, on my razr and the dna, the settings always change to gsm settings on vzw, and since I've had more freedom now I have an unlocked bootloader and soff, I flashed a eng hboot and able to flash a different radio. so with that being said, is the radio your speaking of the hardware radio or the firmware radio that comes out in software updates?

No it's hardware as far as I know. The devs confirmed that the CDMA and GSM versions are different. I would just hold off a month or so if you need it on Verizon

Considering Verizon doesn't really play nice with HTC, you'll probably see a gimped or watered-down version of the One in a few months on Verizon if you're lucky. It'll likely have Verizon branding everywhere, a different hardware design so you need to buy new accessories just for it, and 16GB of storage with no room to grow.
I came from Verizon just for the One, and I think it was well worth it.

IMHO... Nothing wrong with DNA except storage space. I don't need external storage but over time...32gb is a minimum requirement for me. The One camera is perfect for me as well. A lot of my shots are taken in low light and there's no smartphone on the market that compares in this aspect.
Lastly, the dev support is awesome right now and will only grow in time.

Not true, put them side by side and you'll see that the One screen is brighter and "whiter". I like the screen on the One a lot more than the DNA, I dont regret changing phones one bit.
Also, if you have short stubby thumbs like me you can actually reach the other button, I had to use both hands on the DNA for that
I upgraded from the DNA, and I haven't regretted it yet.. The camera is a big difference, I love blinkfeed, and I love the new aluminum body.. plus I get lte, so way faster

not so necessary to change a new phone. my old phone was broken,so i got the htc one.

Storage is a huge plus for me. LTE is nice, especially with unlimited data. And the One looks better.
But, if storage isn't a big deal for you, I wouldn't switch to the One. The two are very similar. Especially in performance.

The phone feels more high end, it does operate faster, no more WiFi notification spam, you can delete all bookmarks w/o rooting. Root is currently available, where it isn't for the current software on the DNA. More space, you get LTE and mms w/o GoSMS. This is all assuming if you were using the DNA on att like I was. I didn't think it would be much of an upgrade but after a day of use it is and worth it. I liked the DNA so much bc I was willing to use it on att w/o LTE and mms, but the ONE is for sure an upgrade.
I seen on my blink feed today that HTC president announced that Google edition HTC ONE get kit Kat in 15 days, unlocked international get in 30, and us carriers get it in 90 days..

That means they should just skip 4.4 and go to 5.0.... It would be an endless cycle

I'm actually impressed by HTC's devotion to it's customers - yes, the camera issue is definitely a bummer, but obviously it blind sided them.. as far as everything else, this phone is hands down the BEST Android phone ever made IMO.. and continuous prompt updates? Nexus Smeckshush I'll stick with my front facing Beats Audio and crisp PPI, solid/gorgeous construction and Sense UI. For a struggling company HTC is doing an amazing job.
Wow. Amazing.

You know, on 2nd thought, that Nexus 5 looks pretty enticing. I might just buy that and keep my One.

Glad Tmobile is getting it. December is when I can use the jump program.

Have you seen their stock and internal turmoil lately? they NEED to show that devotion for customer retention, otherwise they will truly kick the bucket.
I have a suggestion for HTC or build in more functionality to Sense or scrap it and go straight to plane native Android UI and let people customize it how they wan't I think that its one of the things that is holding this phone (and all their future phones back)
running this on my htc one right now

I highly disagree. I just think HTC would allow S-OFF via HTC Dev like they do bootloader. I just converted my TMO HTC One to GPE HTC One just so I can get the latest and greatest Kit Kit when it comes out. And guess what about 90 days from now I will be converting back to TMO HTC One Stock Kit Kat.
I personally like how Sense is setup, it is fluid and minimalistic. It now has the ability to turn off Blink Feed so it is even better. I just wish HTC would give users the option to interchangeable select which OS they want without having to go through pains of making sure you can obtain a S-OFF phone.

I can say that in the middle of our disagreement I can agree with you about Sense, because that's one of the big reasons I pick HTC over any other provider. Now I do know this: everyone, everywhere says the same thing over and over "our phones are as powerful as that computer sitting on your desk" and the sad part is that it's true! But I feel that power hasn't been harnessed yet; there are so much more I feel that are phones should do and currently don't (txt and browse the web at the same time, of for that fact do anything in combination at the same time, and so much more)
And before I get slapped with the statement "Sammy does that", I know... I just feel that with the hardware we have today (which is pretty much the same across all phones, just minor difference like amounts of memory vs screen size and so on...) it wouldn't be a purchasing factor between manufactures but a standard thing in Android....

another forum has a flashable rom. you need the most up to date cwm recovery to flash. GE as well. im not sure what i can say on this forum. if its just linking to another forum or what. but head over to rootzwiki. they have everything you'll need there. its not 100% perfect but it gets the job done
I'm still in love with my HTC One and I have no idea why it didn't have more of an impact when released.
Apparently HTC is struggling with all it's other phones, they might as well perfect one phone like they did with the One.
What does everyone think?
Also I currently have kit kat installed on my One, if you want the ROM I can link you.

Errors
You're always gonna get some errors with a unofficial release. I too was running kitkat on my HTC One. The problem is the playstore. A lot of apps aren't available yet. But we don't have much longer to wait, HTC gave there software for the GPe HTC One to Google. Just have to wait for a release and a rom to be created by the great developers. :laugh:
