HTC One with KitKat and HTC Sense 5.5 is finally out!


Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC Sense 5.5 is now available for the HTC One. This is a must-have update for all HTC One owners.

Sounds great? Well, you might not be happy after all. So far the update is available only for the owners of the Developer Edition of the HTC One. But there is a good news too - you can have KitKat update on your "regular" HTC One too, without waiting for the official update (which might take few more weeks).

To make it possible, Android Revolution HD has been updated to 40.x series, based on the official Android 4.4 KitKat & HTC Sense 5.5 update (4.06.1540.2). 

Why KitKat update is that important? It has several very important changes:
  1. Vastly improved security
  2. Smarter "Location" settings
  3. Better performance
  4. Improved battery consumption
  5. Faster multitasking
  6. Better Google Hangouts integration
  7. ...and much more!
Here are some screenshots. You can see the new Location settings panel.


 Users feedback so far leaves no doubts - this update brings significant performance improvements. Some users are even reporting, that Android 4.4 with HTC Sense 5.5 gives better performance experience than pure KitKat update for the HTC One Google Edition which we wrote about here. I think this is enough said. Don't stay on your old 4.3 OS and grab newest 4.4 update as soon as possible!

    It's horrible that HTC keep removing good stuff from firmware. First T9 keyboard and now they removed English language for other countries. On previous firmware I just could choose English (Russian) language and it worked best for me, especially because of the dialler. I could have eng/rus letters on the dialler. Now if I set system language to English, Russian letters disappear. If I set system language as Russian, then I hate it! Is there anything could be done in this concern?

      I do!! But if I do so, I have lots of contacts in Russian and then I can't fast find them, by just typing the first letter! It's only possible to have both (eng/rus) if I set system language to Russian. But I don't like it as well. Never likes Russian as system language, all sounds dumb for me. On previous version you just could set English (Russian) language and enjoy your life. Now I don't see it there on the list! Is there a way to add from previous firmware?

    Hey. I'm having the same issue as the above user. I tried Installing via CWMr and got the meta data config error, now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I tried entering fast boot usb, plugging it into my PC to erase the cache as suggested, but the only options I'm getting are bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader and power down.

    Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated

      Hi Claudia, I was able to resolve. You need to use fastboot to flash TWRP. If you are using Windows 8.1, the pc will not be able to recognise the phone. I used windows 7 and downloaded TWRP from http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

    I just popped my Rom cherry last night with 40.2 as I bought a rooted phone and couldn't download the 4.3 update from Rogers. All went well, and very impressed with arhd! My phone is having two issues since the install.

    1: Chrome is having issues rendering pages and hesitating or not responding when any
    link is pressed. Htc browser no issues?

    2: phone signal is only getting one bar at all times and I am having problems making and receiving calls. No issues before download. Lte wifi blue tooth are working as before.

    Any Suggestions in regards to signal issue.?
    I am going to download 40.3 to see if this resolves the signal issue.

    Upgraded my ARHD from 31 to 40 a couple days ago. Did a dirty flash and everything seems to be fine once I flushed the caches. Just a couple of apps gave me problems, but once Google Play had updated them all to the latest compatible versions I just went through and cleared he application caches for all my downloaded apps and now it's all running sweet as a nut :) ... Just about to flash up from 40.2 to 40.3 ...

    At the risk of sounding vague, I wanted to chime in on the fact that battery consumption with this new ROM/firmware is disappointing. I was on the 20.x series before with about 2 1/3 days up-time. Now, it's less than a day. Best I can tell, some process is keeping the phone from going into deep sleep while forcing the wake lock to be engaged constantly. Very annoying.

Can you think of any reason why this might be happening? I did not do a complete factory reset before flashing to 41.0 from 30.0. Could that be the problem? Thank you.
