I was just curious if the HTC One would be friendly to porting different roms from different models of the HTC One. Like the international and T-Mobile versions, etc.
The US SGS3s were able to port roms back and forth from all the boards that were using Qualcomm's S4s, except for Verizon I believe.
I will most likely be picking up both a HTC One and SGS4.

International Roms work already. No port necessary
Thanks guys. It's really starting to sound like the HTC One for AT&T is the way to go. THe SGS4 is having lots of problems right now.

I'm sorry but this question has been bothering me for sometime. I have googled this question but have had no luck. What is the main reason there aren't a lot of custom roms like the international one has? I know our device is newer so I'm just simply asking. This isn't a complaint, ETA or a rant, its simply a question. I know when the atrix came out there were some pseudo roms out until the bootloader became unlocked and then the floodgates opened. Will most of the international roms make it over to this phone eventually. I'm sorry in advanced if this question has been asked before but I really tried to find it first.
the international phone uses a different chipset than this one so no none of the roms will work. the reason we dont have so many roms is because we dont have as many devs as everyone else does (my opinion) but this phone isnt that greatly wanted because of its size so we may never have a lot of roms. the ones we do have are great we just need more themes to go with them. you can port a rom from the skyrocket or t-mobile gs2 if you would like to. im currently running t-mobile ics rom now
Im hoping that theres lot of roms to come but what do i know. The phone is great, not sure why its not popular, yea its big but still sick.

I believe someone tried to flash a skyrocket rom to their note... didn't end well.
The moral of the story is: you can't.
Edit: unless you port it (something not so easy), as smartguy044 said.
You have to change a few files but it works. Im using tmobile rom with everything working great and a theme for the skyrocket

Eh. The main reason is because this phone is so new. It hasn't even been out for 2 months. Thats not long in the dev community. Hell, it took like 6 months just to unlock the bootloader on my atrix and even longer for ROMs. With ICS rolling out and the note gaining traction, you will see an abundance of dev help in the coming months

I agree that the Note is "wanted", which will eventually be great for future rom development. However, the figure is 5 million sold globally since the global version's release, not just the US market.

Better than I expected.
We just had a few new dev's join our team, announcement of upcoming cm9, ics release... i'd say we're in pretty good shape for some solid roms coming very soon.
I am new to the custom ROM world. I am considering moving to the SG3. I was wondering if all of the current Development available for the SG3 applies to the U.S. version?
Will there be different threads here for the international version and US version for apps and development?
I am just wondering if I will be able to do anything with it when it launches here or if I will be stuck with TouchWiz for a while.
Thanks
There is already a forum area for the different U.S. GSIII versions. None of the development for the International version applies to the U.S./Canadian versions.
The forums for the U.S. phones can be found at the bottom of the XDA Main Forum page.
Thank you very much.
I see the Sprint and AT&T versions, but no forum for the Verizon SG3. Guess it wont matter. Should be the same phone, yes?

No one has a Verizon S3 yet, that is why there is no forum for it. But yes when it boils down to it the US S3 should be just like the Galaxy Nexus in that roms can work for both with some file changes for radio and RIL.

Will the issues with RIL keep us from getting AOSP ROMs on this device or is it something that Devs can overcome?
Sorry for the noobish question, but I've been reading this may be an issue that can't be solved.
I don't think this will be a problem if developers makes aosp for ICS and not for jellybean. This is a big problem for Resound aosp since developers wanted to fix RIL for ICS aosp but we still haven't gotten ICS officially and HTC never released ICS source. Plus side is Samsung released their source for gs3 on att and T-Mobile so we sld see it soon for verizon

I'm confused though, I thought the RILs were only a problem when devices shifted from Gingerbread to ICS due to how different they are. I would imagine actual hardware drivers are probably the same between ICS and JB, but I could be wrong.

They only released kernel source. Not the ril, from what I have seen. With the exception of the gnexus which we have the source for, no Samsung device has working aosp and 4g on Verizon. That's not saying we won't try, but I wouldn't expect cm9 this week...

RIL will be a huge issue preventing AOSP ROMs. But this should be in the Q&A or general discussion section.

Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
With all the variations we have of this device on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mo and Verizon utilizing the same chipset there is a definitely a possibility RIL will be cracked. I would imagine once it is figured out for a device on a specific carrier, it would be due time until that fix is ported to others.
With all the Devs I see who have picked up this device I have faith RIL will be cracked but obviously it will take time.
Pardon my ignorance of exactly how RIL works, but how different is each one for each carrier variation on a phone like this? Say someone in the Sprint community actually does the low-level dirty work and reverse-engineers their RIL line-by-line in smali. What would that mean for us? How different is a Sprint CDMA radio interface from a Verizon one on the same SoC? Obviously LTE would be a different story.
With the incredible number of people that are about to be behind this flagship phone, I have no doubt the RIL issue will be overcome regardless. This ain't no Droid Charge.

Thank you for the correction about RIL as well.
Stephen, will the RIL be the same for Sprint and US Cellular?
I hope the work is shareable across CDMA carriers.

No, this is more or less apprpriate for this forum, during launch people would like to be able to see the status of development right away.
So you can take your 31 posts and go whine somewhere else.
I am going to be returning my iPad to get this phone outright. It has better get CM9 or AOKP.
I do wonder though concerning the LTE side how different the actual coding is per the different carriers. So like said before, for LTE, if someone cracked sprints, or AT&T's LTE coding, if it could be translated to Verizon.
Tell me if I am wrong, but don't all three carriers have identical phone hardware? All three have the same LTE chips, just set to run on different freq bands?
Forgive me if I sound skeptical, but why would the S3 be special?
Were the Strato and Charge simply not popular enough to get a healthy dev scene for RIL cracking?

No, cause they were all basically rebadged phones. Charge was essentially a fascinate with 4g.
Strato was a repeat epic 4g, when the droid 2/3/4 had the reigns of keyboards already.
Okay so we all know that the Evo 4g LTE is pretty much the almost exact same as the One X obviously different hardware, but when it comes down to software aren't they almost exactly the same? Android 4.0, Sense 4, same internals more or less. So I have two questions that sort of all tie together. 1. Is porting ROM's hard? 2. Is there something I am missing to why we don't have as many ROM's as the One X? If they can be ported. I am not being a **** and saying developers need to work harder, because they don't they already work hard enough supporting their ROM's. I am genuinely curious as to why this is if the E4LTE and One X are very close devices. Again not supposed to be taken pushy or anything.
Source for our EVOs just dropped a couple days ago and the One X has had source since day one. Just wait your gonna end up see ALOT of Roms drop soon...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Plus the one x has a bigger base as in a larger spectrum of people with it. You got to think, world full of GSM vs 1 nation of sprint users.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
The international one x is a COMPLETELY different device, sense 4 being the only real similarity. We have almost identical device as the at&t, rogers one x, whose source was also JUST released. So wen checking one x forums you need to look for the at&t, rogers one x forum. NOT HTC one x forum. Two totally different devices, att. One x having qualcomm msm8960 snapdragon and the intl. Version having a Nvidia tegra 3 chipset

What does kernel source have to do with ROM releases? We'll see a couple of kernels here and there and perhaps some fixes in CM9/MIUI/AOKP/etc, but I doubt we'll see an influx of new ROMs because of it.
The One X been out longer and it's also available in more locations around the world. That's why it has more ROMs.

I feel like with kernel source Devs will end up cooking up more stable kernels and with that we'll probably end up seeing alot more ported Roms and AOSP based Roms. I'm just going off of my experiences with my past devices

All the GSM radios are the same I believe. But if not ARHD 7.1 takes care of the Tmo people. Not sure if it's by flashing a separate radio, though it's not out of the question. Can be done easily within Aroma.
Ahrd doesn't flash a radio the aroma options are for buildprop changes and signal icons.
