Super Amazing Elite Recognized Developer (not making up the title) birdman over at Rootzwiki has made life just a little sweeter for all of us GSM HTC One owners today. GSM variants of the HTC One have a working Android 4.4 build thanks to this awesome confectioner of AOSP.

Birdman built this using the 4.3 binaries from the Google Play Edition and has everything up and running except the IR blaster. Installation instructions are in the OP for the various devices with Sprint and Verizon support in the works. Links to the specific device threads are below.

AT&T HTC One

T-Mobile HTC One

International HTC One

From the Dev:

First. – KitKat 4.4 for the HTC One

Features: chocolate, built from source. 

Not working:

  • IR sensor.

Instructions: 

  1. Download it
  2. USE THE LATEST RECOVERIES (CWM OR TWRP) the old ones are broken in 4.4
  3. Flash it 
  4. Scream “FIRST” and shove it in the faces of passerby’s*
  5. leave some feedback, in a few days i’ll have my nexus 5 and then i more than likely wont be updating this, so get any bugs in now.
