Man, I want to install this so bad, but I love my damn Zoe's. You guys think we'll ever have a way to flash the HTC camera and gallery to one of these roms?

Go here >>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173870&highlight=twrp, download the image, then connect your phone to your computer and make sure debugging is enabled. Type "adb reboot bootloader" then once in bootloader type "fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img" where xxxx is the name of the downloaded recovery. Make sure you put your downloaded recovery in the same folder as fastboot and adb

Do i do this in fastboot mode or what?

Also..I keep getting "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."


This is BULL****

How are the cameras? Back AND front facing, please. How is the sound? (Music, speakerphone, etc) Is there any lag between pushing the unlock button and the screen turing on? How is battery life?

I would really appreciate an answer to these questions. I'm currently on Cyanogenmod and am debating switching to something more stock.

Sounds fantastic
Front and rear camera working perfectly

If he says so? The OP said he was uploading from Japan, go read his post history, dork.
He may have said he's uploading from Japan, but his profile says Illinois and I'm not gonna read his post history just to figure out where he's posting from.

It wasn't mentioned in OP or at the first page, and as said. If someone says the OP said he's posting from china or japan, I have no reason not to believe them.

IR blaster is NOT supported in stock android. If that feature matters to you you will need to use Sense. Perhaps with 4.3 Google will add support for IR

People are getting confused/hopeful because IR DOES work on the Google Edition Galaxy S4. The user just needs to download an app.

Obviously this is not the case for our phone, just the cause of confusion

    Frequently Asked Questions + Other Resources

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Where's my lock screen?
    A: For some reason, HTC chose to disable it by default. Go into security settings and enabled slide, pin, whatever. While you're in there, you may want to enable lock screen widgets as well.

    Q: How do I get that sweet launcher from the Nexus 5? I thought that came with KitKat?
    A: It's currently only for Nexus 5, however it will install just fine on this ROM. Get it here.

    The following questions are quite outdated and will be hidden:


    Q: Can so and so feature from Sense be ported to this ROM?
    A: Most likely no, you'll have to find a third party solution in the Play Store, or if none exists, live without the feature or return to Sense.

    Q: Does the IR blaster work?
    A: Yes, it is working as of the 4.3 update!

    Q: How do I remove the 3-dot legacy menu?
    A1: Download TricksterMod Kernel app from the Play Store, scroll to Specifics, 'Screen Wake Control', switch on 'Disable 3Dot Menu', hit the check mark at the top right, and reboot your phone.
    A2: Alternatively, if you know how to edit your build.prop with Root Explorer or something comparable, add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" to the bottom of the file, save and reboot.

    Q: Is the included kernel the official GPe ROM kernel?
    A: Yes, it is the stock kernel with the ramdisk edited to be debuggable and insecure.

    Q: Is the camera quality better or worse than Sense?
    A: The OS gets the exact same raw data from the sensor in this ROM as it does in Sense, so the difference is in post processing. It is generally agreed that the photos are comparable to Sense except in really low light, where Sense's post processing is a little bit better.

    Q: I don't have an English keyboard? How do I proceed?
    A1: As a workaround, you can use the Korean keyboard to type English to get far enough into the Play Store and download an alternative keyboard.
    A2: Alternatively, if you know how, you can switch your CID to GOOGL001 and the keyboard should show up now.

    Q: How do I take a screenshot?
    A: Press and hold power + volume down (at the same time) and don't let go until the screenshot animation and sound play (it will be obvious, takes perhaps a little over 1 second of holding down the buttons).

    Q: Has anyone made such and such theme/mod/feature?
    A: It would be prudent to check the correct respective forum first (i.e 'Themes and Apps' for themes, 'Original Development' for kernels, etc.)

    Q: Can this get OTA updates directly?
    A: No.

    Q: Is Google Wallet compatible?
    A: Not at the moment, and most likely it won't ever be as the HTC One is missing the hardware secure element required by Wallet.

    Videos - These are outdated as of 8/5/13 (for the 4.2.2 build only, but may still have pertinent info!)

    ...I'm pretty sure Turge's doesn't use AROMA.

    It doesn't, but it isn't rooted nor does it include busybox (not that that is very difficult to accomplish).

    Anyways, this thread has a lot of views/subs so I will upload my version as well.

    Just stock, odexed, rooted, and busybox installed. The trouble is finding a good upload connection here in China. Most are usually capped at like 20KB/s, which would take forever to upload a ~400MB file.

    Anyways, I'll upload it tonight over my mobile data plan if I can't get a good connection before that.

    Been running the pure Google Edition ROM on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 for a couple hours now.

    Gotta tell you guys something, the S4 DEFINITELY needs this ROM. It transformed it into an actually usable device now, no more constant micro-stuttering and lag (Which made me want to throw it out the window every time I use it). Unfortunately on the S4, Wifi doesn't work. The S4 performs much better without all those useless Samsung crap.

    On the other hand, In my opinion the HTC One is near perfection out of the box already. (Even better with the leaked 4.2.2 Sense ROM) There is zero lag in the UI, Sense 5 seems very lightweight and it has a bunch of awesome features that I use everyday. For example the music player is GREAT, it has scrolling lyrics. I tried to find a good music player like the HTC one for the S4 but to no avail. I can't give that up. The Camera options are another that I can't give up, I love that it compiles all your videos and pictures into a cool professional looking 30 second "cliff note" video of the day, my wife and kids love that. Great feature! IR remote control, can't live without it and with the Google edition it's gone. Last the not least, the Browser. I love the HTC browser, it is buttery smooth, has native flash support, auto fit, performs flawless. I can't give that up for Chrome which is the browser that comes with the Google firmware.

    Chrome is nice but it doesn't support flash and the performance is subpar. For example scrolling is not smooth, a little jittery. It seems like it scrolls at 15 frames per second, and the stock native browser is smooth at 60 frames per second. Same thing on the S4 with the included Chrome browser in the Google firmware.

    Take my opinion with a grain of salt, if you have Galaxy S4 with S-Lag, you definitely need this ROM. I would gladly give up all those gimmicky features in TW for a smooth UI experience any day. With the HTC One, the UI is buttery from the start, and all those goodies that HTC threw in are actually positive perks.

    My S4 will be running the Google ROM, and my HTC will stay with Sense.
