after asking over at xda it looks like i just need to unlock at htc dev then flash the recovery
cant find a very good guide about flashing the recovery though
so have held back from flashing a different rom at the moment and may just wait for the official update

hehe
I am not fussed on the normal grey version but sarge's version looks so good
Plus my wee nicks would be gone then
Mine has got considerably worse, both sides are pretty much white on the sharp edge near the bottom and quite a few on the back
past the caring stage though! It's been over a year already 
got bored at work so decided to unlock the bootloader,root and install custom recovery
everything has gone fine apart from when i go into recovery and try to back up my current rom it says not enough space
havent flashed anything else yet as would like a full backup

Nice macro shot there emu!
Then it is time for you to "sarge" your phone!
Thankfully mine is still in pretty good condition although a few tiny marks are starting to show on the sides but very hard to notice unless really looking for it. Once it gets to a very bad condition then I'll probably just buy the metal body from ebay or "sarge" my phone

Oh wow, a replacement body only costs £6-£25 now? Nice, I might grab a black one to see what they're like 
(assuming they're high quality fakes?)
Aluminium still rocks! Can't wait to see how the M4 is designed, the plastic end caps on the HOS look a bit out of place.

Yeah that has really started to get to me in the last few weeks! Not sure exactly why as I wasn't too bothered about them when I first got the phone...... Imagine if the back was just pure aluminium with a MAO finish!

Still waiting for the One mini
well i can see the attraction with sense 5 it is very nice
only bit i didnt like was the big page to the left with all the feeds on it
i couldnt find a way to edit the weather and the feeds on that page
it ran the same if not smoother than the older sense
just a shame the bluetooth was borked on the rom i tried
for the time being i am stock but rooted and custom recovery installed (love using greenify)

Yeah there is a sense V5 rom for the S but not going anywhere near it since a few things aren't working plus bugs:
hoping it will be perfect with zero bugs by the end of this month.... don't care about performance etc. as I found my one S to be more or less the same as the HTC one, only noticeable speed differences in a few things like web browsing (which also could be down to sense V5 VS V4+)
Currently running more or less stock android apps for a change, still using the sense browser, camera etc. though as there aren't any 3rd party apps as good as them
With this hot weather, this is when the 1s really shines, nice and cold to touch! Love how the metal body doesn't get sticky/grimy etc. either

HTC One Mini leak,
I'm a bit disappointed, it's quite big and seems to be as wide as One.

Yeah too close to the HO. The HOS footprint was already a bit too big for a 4.3" phone and this looks even longer! (They've really gone for iPhone look then? )
For me these smaller phones need to be between 120-125mm long and 60mm wide to make it worthwhile, like the Razr I or GS4 mini.
