I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I've looked but have not found anything in regard to it but does anyone know whether Omni is available or being worked on for the M8? I'd love to see Omni for us, I don't particularly care for SuperSU for AOSP but I'm a big fan of Omni and the features...
Mods once this has been answered if you'd like to remove the post to clear up clutter that is okay with me...
Thanks guy!
I'm flirting with the source personally...pm me if you want to test should I get a good build off.

Sorry if I've got this wrong and misunderstood things but now that Jan is preventing other devs from using his Tweaks and Extended Quick Settings does this mean that none of the other roms from now on will have these features?
I know some have their own tweaks app similar to Jan's but they are missing the EQS. Is this because Jan won't allow anyone to use it or is it because new roms are based on the new software version and the EQS isn't compatable yet?
Thanks.
No that is (thankfully) not the case. Please check out the CoreDroid ROM thread. Read Sergio's original post. Tweaks (CoreDroid Suite Tools) coming to anyone who wants them!

Thanks, that's good to hear. Just had a look at the Coredroid thread, never flashed it before as the theme isn't really my cup of tea, but lovely to see Sergio sharing his amazing work for all to use. Much more Android spirited
Thanks, and keep an eye on it. There are more things being considered on the theme front that may be more your thing.
Sounds interesting, I'll keep watching...thanks.
Just noticed though, no quicksettings/EQS Someone said it may be in the next version but it's a huge amount of work for Sergio.
I hope it can be implemented onto other roms as I can't live without it lol, and much as I like the Charmeleon rom I don't want to feel I can't leave it because the feature I need is exclusive to that rom.
I really think it's sad that Jan isn't sharing anymore I appreciate he's done a lot of work but so have a lot of people on other things such as kernels, theming, etc. Perhaps he could make his work into a paid app or something so people can install it on any rom.
Sorry I should have made myself clearer. It is coming in the build we are currently testing (v3.6) and after that, it should be available for everyone to use. No one is going to have to part with money for it!
We had to take it out of 3.5 and Sergio has written his own from scratch. Like you said, a shame, but that's what we had to do.
We are all testing like crazy to get this latest build up for everyone to enjoy. Can't give you an ETA unfortunately because as much as we are all itching to get this new ROM out there, we want to make sure we don't miss anything in our hurry.
Don't forget to check out the CoreDroid Themes and Mods thread in the Themes and Apps section. Plenty of mods there if you don't like the default CD look, plus we always leave the stock HTC Skins in the ROM. All the screen shots you see are from the CoreDroid skins.
We have some very talented and helpful themers on the team. If there is something you would like, perhaps see if they can make it for you.
Thank you for explaining, really looking forward to the new version with the EQS. Your hard work and that of your team is very much appreciated.
I'll definitely try out the new Coredroid rom, after digging a bit deeper into the thread I found some really nicely themed calculators, status bar mods and other apps that look amazing.
Thank you very much for explaining everything Will definitely try out the new rom and send a beer or two your way!
Ok, after trying a bunch of the cool roms on the board, I've decided to install something and forget about it. Been looking for a nicely tweaked and trimmed down version of the stock rom but can't find anything. The problem is, all of the ones I've tried have some kind of an annoying bug or missing functionality, that ends up being more annoying than it's worth. I dislike the TW launcher, but I guess it's a good trade off for a stable working phone. If there's a themed stock rom (all of touchwiz functionality) minus the kiddie icons, please let me know. I'm using the LiquidSmooth 2.5 official now, and I love this rom, but it has a few too many bugs that are very irritating. For example, the camera is junk. Can't focus if it's life depends on it. I keep getting all kinds of artifacts on screen when unlocking the phone, MMS doesn't work half the time and so on. An ideal rom would be something that looks like LS but functions like stock TW but I guess that's impossible.
So please recommend me a stock based rom. Even if it's just stock rooted with the bloatware removed it would be fine. Thank you so much for your time.
Edit: Forgot to add, phone is US AT&T
There is no most stable rom just stick with what works best for you. Not everyone has the same experience on a rom. This thread is going to be locked.

Every ROM is going to have bugs, or things that dont work out.
thats why there is nighty releases of roms, to get most bugs worked out.
Theyre never going to be bug free because of the constant updates and features being added.
only true bug free is Touchwiz.
like the user above you said, you need too look for something that is stable for YOU.
a search would of let you figure this out, a search would of also pointed in the right direction on where to post questions.
this thread needs to be closed.
XDA is a site for development and what is best (stable) for one is not necessarily best for another, users need to test and read and learn on their own.
Hey everybody! I did a search before posting this and couldn't find an answer so here is my question...
I was thinking of switching over to a TW rom but I don't really know what the main difference is in terms of features and bugs. Also, what is everything I need to do to switch over?
I am running Beanstalk which I believe is CM10.1 based.
Thanks for the help!
features are basically what the new rom includes and bugs are small problems that may be being worked on.

Thanks for the reply but I'm trying to compare the features of those types of roms with what I have
well of course some(awesome) features included in cm10.1 will not be able in tw, preferably cm10.1 has many more features than any tw rom, the themeing ability and the new privacy guard.

I would read through the rom op and decide which one appeals to you. As for asking about the differences. Nobody can answer that man because they are all different...they are after all custom roms..But just look around and when you find one you like...Follow the op.I would think you would benefit from reading through the stickies and some guides also. There is a great amount of knowledge to be had in this forum...Good Luck. and use that search button..
are there any TW roms that give us the quick reply like in CM for messaging?
Hello everyone, I'm not a noob, I'm not saying this to show off, but I'm not by any ways, I'd like anyone here that knows enough about this to give a quick answer to my question. What's the state of the roms based on the ones mentioned in the title, it's not that I don't want or know how to check, but I work from Monday to Saturday all day so I don't have much time to test stuff even though I love to. The only thing I wanted to know was basically what are the known bugs etc. Thanks in advance!

FYI, I am on Sprint.
For Sense ROMs i like Viper (not much bugs that I can find), for AOSP I like Liquid Smooth (tons of features, but drops to 3G and stays there unless you toggle Airplane mode. I believe a lot of AOSP ROMs have this issue.), for CM I like Gummy ROM.
But, I have only been testing out ROMs for 3 weeks or so now.
Anyone else wants to give me any more recommendations? Or tell me what the bugs are atm on AOSP or cm based roms? Thanks

The biggest bug I've seen is most/all aosp speakerphone mics don't work, as in you can talk on speakerphone but they won't hear you. In PA I had a bug where I couldn't search chrome properly, and I've seen a few bugs with themes, but that's all I can think of if you stick to the big names (CM, AOKP, LS, PA). Personally using CM11 nightly with furnace kernel with fantastic results. Hope this helps!

Thank you (pressed thanks already)
Thank you too
One of the major bugs with AOSP was encryption of data. It "encrypted" the phone itself and asked for password so that nobody could get in. Apparently it was fixed but I still see some threads where people complain about receiving this prompt for password in the AOSP ROMs they flashed.
This was the thread with the fix for the problem. [FIX] Data Encryption Problem AOSP Roms
Here a user posted a summary about the status of CM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53953807
Kinda disappointed to hear that duo camera doesn't work...even though it was to be expected. (I guess that's the case on all AOSP roms)

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the "Furnace kernel"

Have a look here for your first hint:

I've not done cyanogen myself but that will give you some idea of what is known to work/break.
Thanks

One thing that would jump out at me from exploring the CM page is that the stable channel does NOT have a CM12 update yet. Which means if you want to run Lollipop based Cyanogen you're on the development channel. Not necessarily a big deal but sometimes not the most stable experience.
There are a few ROMs out there that offer OTAs, why not look at them? If you prefer the stock-ish experience of CM, maybe one of the Google Play Edition ROMs like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-m8-gpe-01232015-t3010825
