I am looking for a way to get the FitBit app to work with my Wife's DNA. She is running 4.2.2 (latest VZW OTA Patch) and the app will not work due to Bluetooth compatibility issues. I have searched without luck to find a way to get the app working on a stock DNA with JB 4.2.2. Rooting is not an option right now, but if I can convince her I will root the phone. She would rather buy a HTC One before rooting but I don't want to spend that money because the FitBit devs won't touch a non 4.3+ device. So any suggestions would be helpful.
I have tried the xposed FitBit app that you can find on one of the XDA pages. That didn't work either.
Never rooted a HTC device, so I don't know which ROMs I should start with. (I have a Note 2 that was running Carbon then CM11) Not sure if there is a good HTC Sense ROM that wouldn't be over the top for someone who never used anything but stock.

You need 4.3 or 4.4 for the modified Fitbit app to work (I'm not sure what xposed app you're talking about), but I've had no problems syncing my Force with CM11, AOSPA 4.0 beta, and the Blackout GPE rom. If you're looking for stock, there's a port of the One's stock 4.4 rom.

Thanks for confirming this. I guess I have to convince her to root. Hopefully she doesn't pull some v-day BS and trick me in to getting her a new phone.
I got my fitbit force to work with the xposed fitbit module + the latest Viper rom (sense 5.5 running 4.4)

I will have to look at that ROM. My wife is still on the fence about rooting her phone, but it is cheaper than getting her a phone that is officially supported by FitBit

I've been on the galaxy product line for my last two phones and have rooted them then installed CM on them straight away. Now that I have an HTC One, and it's still a fairly new device, I'm wondering what things I should/could do to it...
So far all I've done is unlock the bootloader, and I'm kinda waiting for ASOP Android to be released but are there any ROMs that are must haves or is there any reason to root it at this point?
Thanks for your help.
I suggest you look around the forum for yourself so you can figure that out

Yeah, I was expecting this type of reply. I've done a decent amount of searching in the HTC boards and this one. I'm asking the question for other people's opinions. But I guess you're right, I could go around the forums on my phone, so, that would be something to do on it although not what I'm looking for.
Sorry if that wasn't what you were looking for but that's my best suggestion

As a Samsung user for the past 3 years or so I've always used aosp Roma myself. I haven't even looked at a single aosp Rom for the one (won't until official comes out) my suggestion is use sense for a while. There's a thread over in international about some stuff the one can do. Check it out. I'd install a international Rom and play with it. (Arhd is great) If you flash an aosp Rom you'll lose beats and the great camera. Keep it (close to) stock for now and enjoy the new sense.

I wondered the same thing with mine. The next steps you could take if you wanted to: get s-off, get supercid, and pick a good Rom that you like. (for all intensive purporses the first two are negligible). I am currently on Android Revolution HD (arhd) and loving it. Fast and smooth with the 4.2.2 and good battery life. That's a good place to start.

Another vote for Android Revolution HD ...It's an amazing piece of work and just keeps getting better
It still includes an amount of HTC/Google Junk, but it's easy to fix with a root explorer or Titanium Backup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
I am coming from the S3 because of numerous issues. Verizon sent me a DNA and there are a few things I am not pleased with such as losing the SC card slot and removable battery. However, prior to switching from the S3 to the DNA, I had just gotten the 4.1.2. update and the changes were great! When does the update to 4.1.2. come out officially, and is it worth rooting to put a custom ROM with the newest sense 5.0 and the 4.2 update in? Lastly, if I make the jump, because I would like to free up some memory by removing bloatware, is it fairly easy to unroot back to stock? Also, if I root and decide I want to go back to stock when it does go live ( the 4.1.2 or 4.2 rather) can I keep it rooted and still update to the official?
I am not new to rooting and such, being as I have rooted every single phone I have ever had, I am just weighing options before jumping on the root train. Just a little weary because I put a custom ROM in my S3 and the camera stopped working and I couldn't get a solid GPS lock. So I guess another question would be, if I root, which would be the most stable ROM to put in my phone that everything works...
Thanks in advance!!

I was looking into cyanogen being as that is one of the better ROM's I have had in my previous phone. Cyangen is usually the most stable and has the most eye candy. I think I may make the plunge, but does the cyangen have the 4.1.2. with the newest sense?
Go with viper for your first Rom... Everything works and is by far the most customizable. I've tried a lot of different rims but I always seem to go back to viper

I will check it out, although I have used Viper before, but not sure which phone it was. Viper wasn't too bad, but I had GPS locking issues with Viper. Although, it could have just been the phone itself...

First CyanogenMod 10.1 JB is 4.2.2 = (AOSP), totally different If you want a Rom with Sense 5, The most Stable Sense Rom to date is
NOS M7 v2.0.3 (Sense 5.0 JB 4.1.2)
Hello everyone!
With the new S-OFF Finally up to par, I now have unlocked my DNA! I am looking to switch from the 4.1.1 that comes with the phone to 4.2.2 but can't seem to make heads nor tails of the newer ROM threads. Here's what I am looking for:
Wireless Charging Working
HTC Media Link Working
SENSE 5.0 is a huge plus
Better Battery
Better Performance
Less bloatware
Root is optional
TOGGLES!!!
Please everyone, let me know your experience on what is the most complete ROM for this phone to use on a regular basis. I have tried looking over the ROM threads, but these days they look like a lot of tech info without the easy to read points in there
Thanks!
If you want 4.2 then you won't be getting sense.

Well, I could do without as long as the rest is working. What would be best in that case? Odd no 4.2.2 Sense 5 out yet.
Newtoroots sense 5 rom is a good sense 5 rom meets all of your requirements but it isn't on 4.2.2 but when that's released to this phone the rom will be updated to 4.2.2

Thanks, installed the ROM yesterday. Pretty nice, can't wait for 4.2.2 or 4.3!
Does ANYONE have any non stock 4.1.2 Sense ROMs with WiFi calling? I've been trying to huntdown Android Revolution 9.3 JB 4.1.2 but can't find it anywhere :-/
Sent from my One using XDA Premium HD app
Man...i'm doing the EXACT same thing today for about the last 4 hours. I've gone from Orio to renovate and in between. I really needs my wifi calling.
Haven't really seen any non-stock sense roms around here yet. I'd assume that if it has sense, it would also have wifi calling though.

Well apparently it was very easy to get the WiFi calling apk in stock Tmo roms to work on other versions of Sense JB 4.1.2. That's what I'm looking for.
I find it incredibly frustrating that I can't find ARHD 4.1.2 >:-{

I have ARHD old versions 7.4,8.0, 9.2, 9.4 saved to my HD and I believe all support wifi calling, can upload whichever you prefer if you can figure out when mike went to 4.2
I use TrickDroid 5.6.0 (HTC One) it's 4.1.2 and has wifi calling etc.
I can't post a link as a newbie but if you search for it you will find it.
e.g. trickdroid.org/category/one/
Yes that is something I would love to see, something along the lines of viper with 4.1.2 and wifi calling... That would be my new daily rom until the update came out. TBO I think I will be going back to trickdroid 4.1.2 I think t-mobile has been doing something to the towers around here been getting a lot of in and out of service.
Sometimes you really can't tell the difference between the stock Rom and many other Roms out there.

Just the other day I actually went over to the ARHD thread in the HTC One and searched for WiFi Calling and found the ARHD 9.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43912050&postcount=38209
On another occasion I searched for TrickDroid 5.6.0 in Google and found their website. But as of this moment the site is down. Maybe give it a minute otherwise I could upload to my Dropbox and give you a link.
Out of the two, I prefer TrickDroid 5.6.0 just due to the customization options that are available.
But the one thing I love about the ARHD Rom, other than it's stability and close to stock feel, is their battery icon.
:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:
Turns out I didn't have TrickDroid 5.6 on my laptop so I had to download it to update my wife's phone. I went to their website http://trickdroid.org/category/one/ and the FTP Server 4 is a real link and downloading. The other four didn't work, but it's downloading now and hopefully it keeps going.
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:

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!

Can you restart the phone into the bootloader. Turn the phone off, then hold volyme down and power on in at the same time. There is the info about cid, loks like htc__Y13
