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..

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.

Let us know. I am interested in the results. I have 42 days till upgrade status.
I found this about kitkat 4.4 http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-taking-aim-at-device-modders-in-android-4-4-kitkat/
A very interesting read, glad I got my phone before 4.4 was actually released.

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.

Some newer commits to android prohibit write_externalsd permissions unless the app is a system/signed app.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...at-and-even-samsung-may-be-implementing-them/
I expect someone to come up with a root work around..
Edit-
Some s3 users did this to fix. (Root required) and nandroid backup prior is required- no *****ing if you don't.
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions*
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart.
