Should I root and run CyanogenMod on my HTC One?

[Jand3rson]

Been debating doing this for a while, and now CynaogenMod has released their installer as an app in the Google Play store. You run the app along with a desktop client, and it does the whole damn thing for you. I'm not really scared about doing it, I was at one point, but not really now. I just seems like it blows the OS wide open from a customization and usability standpoint, and Sense has very limited customization. Opinions?

My phone broke yesterday, (see:screen shattered) if that was not the case I'd have done this. I flashed a leaked update onto it and it was quite easy, my first foray into that type of thing, then did a few rom managers and such, but this it the easiest way to debloat, and customize even more. Go for it!

I'm still too chicken to mod my Galaxy Nexus. It's my only phone and I kind of (completely) depend on it. I have SDK and everything, but the possibility of bricking or wiping it is keeping me away at this point.

I've had an S3 and now a note 2. Gone through probably 20 roms between the two. Very easy to do and very dependable if you find a stable rom.

I currently run CM 10.2 nightlies for my LG G2, and currently there are enough issues that I will be going back to a debloated CleanRom 1.0 ROM. Check XDA forums for issues others may be having and possible fixes you can flash.

CyanogenMod is quite nice, check to see if there is a good P.A.C. Rom out there, which combines Paranoid Android, AOKP and CM, really a bitchin ROM.

had my dorid 3 rooted for about a year now, I did mostly to kill all the factory bloatware on the thing. I say go for it

I've been running cleanrom 5.0 fore AT&T note 2 for probably the last 6 months with only updating as they drop updates and only had my phone freeze 2 oe 3 times. Nothing a hard restart couldn't fix.

Did it last night. Had a couple of hangups, but my One is running CM 10.2 with no issues, and I LOVE IT. My phone is noticeably faster, battery life is better, and no stupid T-Mobile/Sense bloatware. I should have done this the day I got it, but it's probably better now, it's like having a new, faster phone again.

I have been itching to try a new ROM on my HTC One ever since it started bugging out with syncing. Time to try! Thanks

Any way to dumb down this subject a little. Have verizon Samnsung G3 and want to get rid of stock OS.

Don't even need that. Download the CyanogenMod Installer from the Google Play store, download the companion desktop client, does the whole thing for you.

Did it wipe your phone? Any way to backup/restore contacts and stuff using the CM client?

Yeah, full wipe. I got all my contacts back when I reinstalled all the Google apps and synced.

All your contacts should be synced with google. I use SMS Backup+ to back up text messages to my gmail account
