New To GSM Phones; Is the T-Mobile One Considered an M7?

[LiquidSolstice]

Hey guys, I'm new to GSM phones and I'm going to be picking up a T-Mobile HTC One on Saturday.

Am I locked to the T-Mobile section when it comes to ROMs, or may I flash anything in here? I've only ever been on Sprint with CDMA phones, so I'm a little confused about this (there is a dedicated T-Mobile HTC One section, but there's not much going on there in comparison to here).

Thanks for your help!

T-Mobile can flash regular M7 ROMs. Most One ROMs include an option in the beginning of the installer to choose your carrier. Just select T-Mobile and you're good to go. The only real difference between the carriers are the settings needed for the 3g and 4g data connection.

I see. So does that AROMA option set up the APN configuration for me, or do I have to manually set them?

I just want to get this out of the way now because it seems to be old-hat for GSM phone users and I am unfortunately quite ignorant about how it all works.

It sets it up for you. Just stick to the regular m7 section for all your ROM needs. Imho there shouldn't be a seperate T-Mobile section.

Everything will work without having to manually set the apn. At least this is how ARHD works.

That's wonderful news. The developer community here seems to be incredibly vibrant and active, I'm excited to see what it brings.
