More than 70% of smartphone such HTC, Samsung, LG which we use today run on Android without the Google Edition and you are not really getting the real experience (Google Experience) with your Android devices.

| Samsung and HTC One with Google Edition |
The several devices produced by Google as Google Nexus are
the smartphone which is getting the real experience with Google. It’s mean that
the Google Nexus had been installed with the Google Edition. You also can buy
with the Galaxy S4 or HTC One with Google Edition in Google Play Store with a
bit higher price than usual.

the right Rom that has been upload to many website.

Google Edit. Noted you must backup all your necessary documents in order not to
getting lose your data. Warning, it’s can be damage your devices or your device

Edition HTC One ROM

| HTC One which already installed the Google Edition |
You need a GSM version of the
HTC One that is rooted and has a custom recovery (CWR or TWRP) installed before
you start. You’ll find the ROM for Android 4.2.2 with Google apps in this thread
at XDA Developers. We’ll
assume you’re using ClockWorkMod Recovery. Here are the next steps.
- Download the ROM to your HTC One and save it on your SD card.
- Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons and use Volume Down to navigate to Recovery, and then hit the Power button to select. Your phone will reboot in recovery mode.
- Choose wipe data/factory reset and then choose Yes – delete all user data then hit wipe cache partition and choose Yes – wipe cache and then tap Advanced and hit wipe dalvik cache and tap Yes – wipe dalvik cache.
- Go back and hit install zip from sdcard and then install zip from sdcard and navigate to wherever you saved the ROM, select it and hit Yes. It might take a while to install. Once it is done you want to reboot the phone and you should see a new Google logo during boot up which indicates that the install was successful and your HTC One is now a Google Edition device.
If you encounter any problems,
refer to the thread on XDA Developers where you’ll also find a video of the
process, a FAQ, and a lot of discussion.
Google
Edition Samsung Galaxy S4 ROM
The process for the Galaxy S4
is basically the same, but you’ll need a different ROM. There are actually a
few different stock Android 4.2.2 ROMs available for the S4 and there’s a
leaked Android 4.3 ROM. You can find both in this thread at XDA Developers.
Bear in mind there have been
some problems reported with the 4.3 version and it hasn’t been rooted yet, so
you won’t be able to root after you flash that ROM. It’s probably best to go
for the 4.2.2 ROM right now.
Once again, if you encounter
any issues, your best bet is to post in the XDA Developers forum thread where
you got the ROM.
Good luck! Let us know if
you’ve tried it and whether you prefer the Google Edition to the original.
