Hey everyone,
So yesterday I traded my s5 for an m8 (totally a score in my eyes) and to my surprise it came pre modded. I'm no slouch when it comes to modding devices... Consoles, nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy s2x/s3/note2/s5.... But being a first time HTC user I have a few questions.
Before the questions come, here is some details.
Bootloader says s-off at the power+volume down screen at the top, so I'm taking a wild guess the previous owner already s-off the device.
Uses twrp as it's recovery.
Currently the device is running the following setup (screenshots attached)
Questions:
1. What is the proper model / Device name for this? I'm Canadian, unlocked Sim, using Rogers. (like my old s3 was something like sgh-i747m or something, for example)
2. What model/device names am I compatible with? T-mobile, sprint etc
3. Are there any lollipop aosp Roms compatible that are smooth and stable releases?
4. Stable miui?
5. What the hell are some of these applications like peel smart remote, HTC dot view etc that I'm seeing? Bloatware?
6. Anything I need to keep in mind about my setup / hazards?
7. What's this google play edition stuff I keep seeing? Turning the m8 into a nexus or something?
I love this phone, but before I start my flashoholic ways with it I thought I should ask.
Cheers!
