MoDaCo.Switch Is Now A Public Beta: Lets HTC One Users Switch Into A Different Version Of Android
Are you the proud owner of the HTC One but have a hard time deciding on if you prefer the native spin on Android or the Google Edition vanilla build? If you’re shaking your head yes, then this news is for you: MoDaCo.Switch is officially available for public beta testing. Just like the name implies, the custom firmware allows its users to reboot the HTC One and switch into a different version of Android. You can now relish in both Sense 5 and Google’s stock AOSP Android build separately.
User’s should note that this is more complex than a simple dual-boot. MoDaCo.Switch shares apps and data between both builds, which makes using them together an attractive option for users. As expected, the Beta build has some drawbacks; MMS and call log data are not shared between ROMS and fast boot has some bugs. If you’re down to give the Beta a whirl knowing that it’s still a work in progress you can continue onto the MoDaCo.Switch link below for more information. A note from the developer:
About MoDaCo.SWITCH
MoDaCo.SWITCH is a unique ROM concept for the HTC One which allows you to have two ROMs on your device (Sense and Google Play Edition) but maintaining a single set of data that is shared between the two.
Switch has been in development for a while now and it is rather complex internally, so we will have a number of Beta phases where we are certain to find (and hopefully fix) any issues.
Pre-requisites
Switch is tested on a European WWE unlocked HTC One that was originally running the 2.24 ROM. S-OFF is recommended but not mandatory. S-OFF can be achieved using the revone utility.
NOTE: This ROM is for GSM devices only.
