We have details for you so that you can install Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean-based CyanogenMod 10.1 on your HTC One.

We only advise those who know what they’re doing and have some experience tampering with their phone to continue but if you’re confident then read on. CyanogenMod is renowned and trusted and many people are fans of these Android device custom ROMs. Now CyanogenMod 10.1 is available for the HTC One and the method to install it is not too complex.

Firstly you must only try this out if you have an HTC One that’s rooted and has an unlocked bootloader. You’ll need to have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and HTC USB driver configured on your HTC One. Please ensure you have enough battery power before you begin, we advise at least 80% although 50% should be adequate. Also before you begin you need to back up your data.
