I think there is a GPe port somewhere. But it is so close to GPe you might not want to bother

Have a read in the two dev sections CM 11 is there as is the GPe port
You can flash the GPe ROM which is pretty much flawless, but we can't "covert" them quite yet though, so you won't be able to receive OTA updates and live the good life. You'll have to give Bigxie or some other dev a couple of "minutes" on the update so it doesn't brick our devices.
TL;DR: Flash GPe, live your life, wait for an updated build here when a GPe OTA gets released.

I see thats good for me, actually I just care for CM11 more then stock, do I flash the Togari official CM11 on the C6833, confusing with one forum for all the diff model numbers

Yep, all the models are more or less the same. My c6802 more often than not thinks it's a c6833. IF you flash a ROM (modified Stock) from a c6802/6806 on a c6833 you will lose some or all of the LTE bands, but they will come back when on the correct ROM

The Bitter Sweet taste of too many choices
I am myself a AOKP kinda guy, and now we of course have the choice between all the ususal suspects, CM10/11, OAKP, even Slim and of course GPe.
Just a week or so before Xmas we were alle trying that Omni-thingie without BT-support or what it was, and everybody was eagerly awaiting someone to port the GPe over to the 8633.
I had to try the GPe my self of course, even thought I soon had my eyes on the AOKP and Slim, and I don't know why this annoys me, but I'm pretty ****ing pleased with the Gpe. It's just awesome. It feels right, it acts right, it got ART support if you want, Xposed gives me everything AOKP did and I justg like this GPe so much that it annoys me.
Everything works for me. LTE, BT. WIFI, this and that. I have not had one single problem with this damn annoyingly near perfect GPe ****.
I'm addicted to flashing ROM's though, so I'm craving a hit soon, hehe. You know, these good'n'oldies give us flash-junkies our weekly shot of weeklies and nightlies and you know how it is. And that I miss with the Gpe. No new nightlie to look for, no new .... nothing to look for ever since I installed it 2-3 weeks ago.
But it's just too ****ing smooth and nice that I canot make my self flash something else, without just restoring the backup i would make right back, hehe.
GPe ZU
hi. i know im very late on this topic.
but to put it brief:
my current phone died so i need to get back to the z ultra
i got the new phone bcs the ultra wasnt without flaws
i just discovered that there is a gpe for it
so you can vouche for the gpe rom on the ultra?
bcs one of the reasons to discard the ultra was that sony's android doesnt top 5.1
how is that on the gpe? does that one go past 5.1?
and if i were to make it gpe, could you tell me the procedure?
i really like the ultra, but i had hoped it would perform better
hope to hear from you
much appreciated

This device is so underrated and is now becoming a real beast in the dev support community. We have AOKP, CM 10.2, Clean, Mallidus, Vanir AOSP, roms with more development showing up everyday. It may not be an offical "nexus" device, but with LOKI and root, it's beginning to feel that way. I came from the GNex and I remember the support that device got. I made the right choice!!
Yessir!!!! Let the good times roll
I am going to go and thanks all the Dev for coming here. =)

finally the whining about dev support will cease.

We now have Paranoid Android too It may not be a nexus, but since there's no chance of a nexus 5 on Verizon, I don't think I will miss it that much. The builds will soon get stable and we will be able to enjoy this device whether on a stock rom or an aosp one.

I'm kind of surprised that people haven't figured out, that most custom roms are either based on CM or based on stock. We got CM and then people were able to port other roms.

What!? I think you are confused or maybe I misunderstand you. Vanir is AOSP and while AOKP may share many hardware repos I'm not sure I'd consider is CM based especially since the whole caf debacle. And by stock you mean based off LG ROM?
Many of the devs worked tirelessly together to bring these to fruition at the same time. I dont think any one dev or team can take credit.

It is rather odd. Coming from previous devices on Verizon, the tmo variants were always one of the first to get aosp builds going. It feels good to be on the leading end this time around but I know how you feel. I'm sure development for it will pick up soon.
Being from Europe and all I can't quite see why there are three (?) American models? What's the difference between the Verizon, att and tmobile versions?

There are actually 4 American models. Sprint currently doesn't have their section yet. It's just the sad way things are done over here. Carriers like to lock in their customers and each tends to offer a slightly different variant. Whether that be the slight difference in physical look or the type of radios included for a GSM or CDMA carrier, American carriers like to limit customer options.
I heard rumor of kit kat 4.4 becoming available for htc one max on Dec 25th. Any confirmation to this? If so, will we need to do anything to a rooted phone to get the oTA update?
where did you hear that?
and, generally speaking, if you want a factory update, you need to bring your phone back to its stock state..
Don't expect kit kat until after the release of the M8

Sounds like that article is for Asian versions of the phone.
Maybe the One Max will be different, but on my wife's rooted, unlocked bootloader, & s-off Galaxy Nexus, installing KitKat meant I could either lock on to 3G and make phone calls or obtain 4G lock only but couldn't do both. I stayed up half the night researching it, and apparently KitKat was having problems playing nice with custom rooted devices. I finally had to drop back to 4.3 for the Nexus to operate correctly.
Again your experience could be different, but at least do your research before going forward if/when we ever receive KitKat.
the OS you are on has nothing to do with it; the only thing that matters is whether you are on a GSM network, or a CDMA..

Don't worry HTC is not going to make their phone & software that bad :laugh:
I guess it's because the software for the GNex, the AOSP guys would fix those soon :laugh:
---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------
On the second thought, The HTC one already has 4.4 for the dev versions and i have not heard any complaints on root.
Everything I am reading says the One max, is essentially a One with a bigger screen and a fingerprint scanner. Will the One custom roms not work at all on the max? If all the hardware is essentially the same, why wouldn't it work with some ppi tweaks?
BTW, not sure about the Galaxy Nexus, but I have tried two different variations of Kit Kat 4.4 on my One, and both work flawless. I am running the Beanstalk variant now.

That being said, HTC tends to be a little more friendly to the modders. And seeing as there are a bunch of 4.4 roms on the one, I will be shocked if you all don't see a custom 4.4 within a couple of weeks.
Surely Max won't be long for KitKat since the normal One unlocked and dev had it already!

I have had a look at porting MIUI to the Ultra but I cant find a suitable base so far. I'll see if I can find a stable build of cm 10.1 but I wouldn't hold my breath - it needs a 4.2 base and the ones I've tried have thrown hundreds of patching errors...
With the lack of development for this device I would say no.

There's no point in developing a ROM that one or two people will use. Why spend any energy on it? It's fine if the dev ports it for himself and then decides to release it, but don't expect any MIUI release soon.

Are they still using 4.2 as base? I was under the impression that V5 should be at least 4.3 and you could use CM10 Togari proprietary files to build.

Note that Sony also sell the c6806 not just google.
What area/carrier? may make a difference to choice
I think you should choose the Sony version as you can convert it into GPe later on if you want. I personally prefer the Sony one as it's really beautiful and functional.

I have the C6806 GPE. Currently 335.00 at Expansys. Great phone, and I'm happy I went with the GPE. I can't find any of the bugs others had mentioned in the newest OTA.
I prefer the Ultra over my Nexus 5 and Oneplus One
I just bought the C6833 in White for £216 brand new, I'm not really a fan of vanilla android experience as it's too barebones for me, I just love the Sony software and feels like it gives more of a unique look than vanilla does. With the wonderful people on these forums, you can always convert it to GPe though (and back), give your self the best of both worlds imo.

It's kinda hard to develop on stock roms because they are already so optimised and adding something will break another so I guess developers wanted to develop on a more open platform like CM or AOSP versus stock.
Understandable but cm and aosp to me are all the same... Same bugs same services the only good thing os for theming but even there they are similar... I kinda like the sony stock rom.. Wouldnt mind a debloated 5.0.2 with custom kernel support!! I guess a fella can still have hopes!!

Fully agreed, that I wish for!
Oh man still no updates?? i am very dependent on when this Lollipop ROM update will be sent. I just can't test my apps on Lollipop because of this!
I wish they did not release 5.0.1/2 and went for 5.1 instead. I've heard really lots of complaints about 5.0 and i am kinda worried.
I'm afraid we'll get a really late, half-assed rom update that introduces new issues without fixing the older ones, which they had plenty of time to fix... and after that it's gonna be "well, you got your 5.0 update, that's enough updates for a two year old phone... all the way from jelly-bean! wow... we're so good, updating the phone all the way from jelly bean to lollipop. So, there won't be another update. get a new phone."
