SkyDragon ROM: First Sense 7 ROM for the HTC One M8
Bring Lollipop and Sense 7 to your HTC One M8 with the latest build of SkyDragon ROM. Themes, smart widgets, a new Camera UI, and better battery life await!
The HTC One M8 is frequently lauded as a standout among last year's smartphone offerings, boasting a sleek metal design, and a gorgeous software experience. But with the updated UI of this year's lookalike M9 set to hit store shelves later this month, industrious XDA Forums members have been hard at work bringing the latest software advances to the phones we already own. Nowhere is this push for Lollipop and Sense 7 felt stronger than with the previously featured team behind the SkyDragon ROM for the HTC One M8.
Although there are dozens of great source-built, AOSP-derived custom ROMs available for the choosing, the most popular option is still undoubtedly the first large-scale project of its kind: CyanogenMod. Because of this, it's always quite exciting when official CyanogenMod support is extended to any particular device. Now we're happy to share that official support has been added for two new devices, with two more on the way.
One week ago, XDA Senior Recognized Developer jcase and Recognized Developer beaups managed to root the HTC One (M8) with their WeakSauce multi-device root method. Five days later, the Firewater dev team (XDA Recognized Developers beaups and Fuses) announced that they had achieved S-Off on the HTC One (M8) via Twitter.
To many, the HTC One (M8) is the ideal device. After all, it offers class-leading build quality, absolutely stunning aesthetics, powerful specifications, and a near perfect screen. However, there are those who don't really care for the stock HTC Sense experience. Luckily, there's a Google Play edition variant of the device, which gives you all of the hardware goodies of the M8, but with the Pure Google software we all know and love.
