Anyone know when we might get gingerbread?
The droid family is now getting it as OTA :S
I have a feeling motorola is waiting for the next update to release to put on this phone. rather than waste time on an incremental change.
But seeing the original android phones on at&t, this update could be a long ways away. Just my opinion.

It was said that gingerbread would come to the atrix in 2011. So anytime between now and christmas

SIgh... Our atrix is supposed to have gingerbread.... argh....
Motorola is waiting for the new android version that support dual core phones.
... never. the phone will be obsoleted before updated. Also not unlocked. That's their business model. Give no updates and dangle new crap in front of you.

where do you people keep getting this idea? The CURRENT version on the atrix supports dual core. It's been proven. What doesn't support dual cores is most apps. The delay is not on a version that supports multicore, so stop spreading that piece of false information.
Never the less....

So cynical, cousin!
We all know that the release process goes through the carrier after the manufacturer is done with it. For all we know it could be ATT that is dragging its feet whereas Verizon is moving more quickly.
I, perhaps naively, think that Moto won't drop the ball on its flagship device.
It looks like there aren't any ROMs based on the T-Mobile formware on any of the forums. Are y'all getting the same data speeds on the international ROMs? Is there a tmobile radio to flash?
You should be able to flash any in the HTC One Forum. Our device is the M7 so you should have no issues. Only problems some people have been seeing is from ATT so far with roms that don't have the proper RIl files and this is believed to cause the radio to switch from E, H, and LTE chronically.

thanks, i wasnt sure if our device was M7 or not.
stupid question, but does flashing the roms on the international one forum **** up the radio?
Only if the ROM includes the radio. As far as I know, no one is including radios in their ROM's. I would personally hold off flashing any radio until we get a flashable zip, RUU, or other means to go back to the shipped radio. Some users are having issues with the WWE radio on Tmobile and ATT. Some may think it's just the rill files too.

Yah that's the one bummer about non T-Mobile ROMs. It's impossible to get WiFi calling working. Has to be a T-Mobile based ROM.

It's the same thing after you unlock the boot loader and have a custom recovery
The only thing is you have to flash the kernel manually

I mean, the "you can sort of unlock the bootloader but you can't have S-OFF" is obnoxious but it isn't any easier to bring your phone--if anything, the limitations placed on operations done in recovery make it harder to actually brick your phone since the boot and recovery images are normally flashed in fastboot.
But yeah, Nexus phones are much kinder to tinkerers. News at 11.

Yeah, that's what I did too. Only mildly sad to give up wifi calling; I never go over on minutes anyway.
Can't wait until there's T-mo specific roms. I get absolutely crap reception in my apartment and NO reception at work, so i desperately need wifi calling.
What we need is a good all around android dev /Rom chef to dedicate there time to our branded HTC one.
I hope Roms aren't gonna be generic forever leaving us with partially set up Roms/ having to flash radios constantly and whatnot !Never knowing what's compatible and what's not .
If that's the case I foresee a lot of angry people and jtag sales in the future .
I'd give it a month or two before we have a few 2-4 dedicated tmo HTC one roms 100% ready to flash and go just for us only .

I need a bit of advice on what to buy. I'm currently on AT&T contract with my old iPhone 5, but want to buy the One. I have a few options:
1. Craigslist seller #1 ($500)- It's a 32GB Global Unlocked version. However, they said that it will work with AT&T but it will only be HSPA + not LTE. Is this true?? He ahd it on AT&T but couldnt get LTE. I checked the HTC website and the 32GB Global Unlocked version did have one compatible band (700MHz) with AT&T's LTE, so I can't see why it wouldnt work. What do you guys think?
2. Craigslist seller #2 ($500)- She has a 32GB T-Mobile version that she got as a gift at a HTC event. It has never been activated. We tried calling TMO last night to get it unlocked, but they were clueless. I did find that I could get it unlocked for around $25 from a site online. If we do this, will it work on AT&T LTE? Any way to remove the TMO bloatware and crap from it?
3. Buy the phone direct from AT&T outright ($600). It's guaranteed to work with their LTE, but would come with the bloatware. It's more than the craigslist sellers, but at least I'd have the support of AT&T if anything ever went wrong with it (since I bought it from them). However, it's only like $30 less than the 64GB Developer edition
4. Buy direct from HTC (32GB global unlocked or Dev edition). This way guarantees me that I get the fastest updates (is that true for both or only the Dev edition) and no carrier bloatware, but I'd have to wait 2-4 weeks for the phone to arrive, and I'm impatient as hell. I know it's the smartest and best option, but I dont really feel like waiting.
If I can get #1 working on AT&T LTE, I think it's my best option, but I'm not sure if that will work. According to this XDA post, the Global Unlocked version should work with AT&T LTE, but the seller is telling me that it doesnt.
So what do you guys think? What's my best move & option here?

Grr, yeah that's what I was thinking. I guess it's the smarter option. Would probably be better to get the Dev edition for $50 more and a few weeks of waiting. I want to make sure I get software updates as fast as possible. I'm still stumped.

Any thoughts on option #1? Seems strange that it would have one of the correct AT&T LTE bands, but not work on AT&T. Maybe a different APN setting? I dunno. That seems like the best option, provided I can get it to work on AT&T.
You're on a development forum.. remember that.
It all comes down to this: are you happy with HSPA+ Speeds? If so, save $100 and get the unlocked version. If you want LTE, get the phone direct from AT&T. You will not get LTE speeds from any One except the AT&T model, this is proven by numerous accounts of people doing reviews on YouTube using the unlocked on AT&T.
Now, if you decide to get the AT&T, first thing to understand is you're on a developement forum.. how many people here (all of which are on AT&T still have their bloatware installed? Almost no one. I have One, and the first thing I did was unlock bootloader, root, flash a stock ROM (TrickDroid) which comes with many benificial features, including NO bloat, and fixes for bugs in HTC stock firmware.
Trust me, you're going to want to unlock, root and flash a custom ROM.
As for updates, the people that will get the updates first, before anyone else, is us. Because we are on a developement forum. People will start cooking up updates before HTC even released anything. And once AT&T or HTC starts rolling out the updates, we, XDAers will definitely know about it. And the ROMS will start getting updates.
So go for the LTE version, and know, you'll be bloat free, speeedy and the first to hear about any updates.

Haha yeah, I purposefully came to a dev forum. You guys know more about this **** than anyone. Since I'm brand new to Android, I dont really know much about rooting, Roms etc. I hope it's easy. I'm reasonably technical, but not a dev or engineer. Can you point me to the beginner's guide to rooting and flashing roms?
Also, I heard conflicting reports about the Dev Unlocked phone direct from HTC working on AT&T LTE, so I dont know what to believe anymore. I guess the AT&T version is the best bet.

Alright here's how it works. Once you get to the AT&T HTC One section, that's the start. From there you see catigories. General is mostly for stories and such, that's why this thread should be in Q and A. Then there's stuff like themes and apps section, and accessories (self explanitory) then the good stuff. Origional Development is developement that has been done SPECIFICALLY for the AT&T variant of the One. The Developement section can be ports of other phones or other variants. So, in the Developement section, we find this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245776
[XMOD] MoDaCo Toolkit (with HTC One specific mods)
That is a guide to unlocking bootloader, rooting and flashing.
Do you have a PC? If so things are a little simpler if you ask me.
Hope that helps, and I'm glad someone made a noob friendly guide because I had to do it all manually before they made it. Haha

Actually, bad idea a bit. You're going to want hardware specific drivers installed and if I remember, parallel and drivers can be weird. I would try to figure out the OS X way about things. It can be hard for even a windows computer to get the drivers installed correctly so good luck with a virtual OS.

Not hard, just don't download the HTC Sync from the HTC website, instead install this:

Just to consign, if you want it to work on att lte it has to be an att branded One. Also, avoid 2nd hand att devices unless you know the individual personally. If you purchase a device then they call it in lost/ stolen, it will be added to our blocklist and it cannot be used on our network.

I was browsing xda and ran across quite a few devices that have ubuntu touch os in development/working on their devices! I forgot how gorgeous it looked when the developer preview came out, I was truly looking forward to a working daily driver, back when I have the vzw Samsung galaxy S3. Never happend... I was wondering, does anyone plan on working inv something like this? Is there something for the G3 already? (I Google searched, xda searched, to no avail) I would love to see this on our device! We have a big community and I know people would jump on board to get this on there phones.
Id love to see that as well! Hopefully someone pick it up!

Verizon (and others) and Samsung are hurting themselves by locking down the device hard which is killing developer interest so I seriously doubt it. And the developer version is unsubsidized and hard to find.
Same thing as the S3. Once Verizon locked it developers started to drop like flys...
Man I was waiting for Ubuntu Touch for forever... being a huge fan of Ubuntu I was super excited it was being ported to android devices! Wasn't it supposed to be officially released like a year ago... alongside Ubuntu 14.04?
