Install HTC 10 Sense 8 Marshmallow ROM Port On HTC One M8

If you have the HTC One M8, you can upgrade it to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow by flashing the HTC 10 Sense 8 ROM port. The HTC 10 is HTC’s next attempt at trying to get a grip on company’s declining sales. While previous HTC flagships have been quite decent, they really struggled compared to other Android behemoths such as Samsung and LG.

HTC 10 is the next step for the company. It is a much more improved phone compared to the old HTC One M9 and One M8. Besides having a 5.2″ Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530, 4 GB RAM and 12 MP rear camera, the HTC 10 comes with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow based on HTC’s custom Sense 8 UI skin.

Even though the HTC 10 has been available on stores for a relatively short period of time, the official RUU and Marshmallow stock firmware for the HTC 10 have gone public. This means that anyone can take the firmware and do whatever they want. As always, the first thing a developer does after getting a new firmware is porting it to another device in the form of a custom ROM.
