Custom ROMs are the way to go for power users of Android devices. No matter what developer you take and whichever flavor of a custom ROM you may want to pick up, some of the omni-present features would be faster updates, better modifications, root access, custom recovery, zip aligned APKs, deodexed ROMs, more features, ports from other devices and whatnot. Then, there’s that class of these firmware that hail from the Android Open Source Project, or AOSP, as it is better known. These ROMs are decidedly different from others, in their minimalist native feature set and more freedom towards change.

CyanogenMod has always been one of the most famous and trusted custom ROMs for Android devices, owing largely to the fact that it was the first ever custom firmware for any device. The CM device database has expanded exponentially since then, and maintainers for every new device spring to action almost immediately. HTC One, being the latest and the greatest from the Taiwanese manufacturer (as of this writing), has quickly joined the CM bandwagon, and you can install Android 4.2.2-based CyanogenMod 10.1 to your HTC One with relative ease. In this post, we’ll show you how.
