I finally managed to install Lineage os on this HTC One (m8) thanks to the help of Lemmy!

I remember always wanting an HTC One M8 because of the dual front facing speakers.

I had the M7. I loved those speakers.

Had the M7 too, absolutely loved it for 3 months. Right up until a desktop harddrive fell from a shelf right in the middle of the screen. Corner went through it like butter 😭

M8 with Harman Kardon mod (fakes the model so the controls appear) is absolutely incredible. They really squeezed everything out of those tiny tweeters. And the IR Blaster is super handy.

I didn't know there was an M7. If they sounded amazing on the M7, I can't imagine what they sounded like on the M8.

I loved my M8!

My friend had one, it was so damn cool and those speakers were LOUD.

[–] Render@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I never got to listen to them in person. I heard so many people praising the speakers at the time.

Mann I remember my M8. I still use it as an IR remote sometimes. Sadly the battery is pretty much completely dead so I can't really use it for anything else.

[–] Render@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Is it possible for someone to custom make a bigger battery+case for the HTC One M8?

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I used to love my HTC phones 8 years ago. It's a shame their later phones were such shit

[–] Render@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I had an HTC 10 at the time, around its release date as that was the only phone with a Snapdragon 820 available at T-Mobile in my location. It was an ok phone but got better with a custom ROM+kernel. Shame about no dual front facing speakers on the HTC 10 because the single front facing speaker actually sounded great.

I'm head over heels in love with my M7! It's so good, people would constantly ask to check it out.
