[Q] New M8 owner, Have some questions

Hi I got a new HTC one M8, its the t-mobile variant. I looked at all the ROM that are offered but I don't know if I should put on a custom rom because my stock sense experience has been great(Minus the wrong location sometimes - possibly a stock rom issue). If I decided to put a custom rom it would be a modified Sense rom. Which one would you guys recommend since there are alot.(Viper,MaximusHD,Android Revolution, InsertCoin,etc...)
Lastly, I've seen around that there is a camera mod which makes pictures look so much better, it is recommended to use?

Viper ROM for me. Have had zero issues with it.

Thread closed,
Comparison threads are against forum rules.
Many thanks,
Ghost

[Q] Which ROM should I use for my One M8?

Hello! So...
I've heard of ViperOne M8, Android revolution and insert coin. But I'm wondering, which should I use? I'm a big fan of stock sense 6 if that helps and I'm fairly dependent on battery life.
Also, my device is s-on. I have flashed ROMs on other devices so I'm not a newbie, but will S-on be a problem?
Thanks!
PS: I'm running Android 4.4.3

Hi it kind of depends on which tweaks you like and want to have. They are - as you already know - all sense based, so I would just test them all and decide. To name one more there is also Maximus HD, which I like as well. But I'm using ViperOne at the moment.

If you want a Sense based close to stock rom = ARHD / MaximusHD; Otherwise InsertCoin/Viper
If you want GPE I'd can only tell you about ARHD GPE

This thread will be closed soon because it will turn in a rom comparison thread (if it isn't already) and these kind of threads are forbidden on xda.
You need to sort your own personal preferences and hold them against a rom of your liking. It's all personal.......
Cheers.
Edit :
Btw s-on is not a problem to flashing roms.

Thread closed.
OP - since you clearly haven't yet, please read the Forum rules. "Best ROM/kernel" threads are not permitted.
As always, the advice is to try for yourself. The surrounding subjectivity and opinion only leads to a dreadful mess... (polite version).

AOSP?

I got my m9, coming from the GS3 and I love this phone. I use SlimRom on my gs3 and I noticed there isn't a port for the m9. From what I'm finding, there aren't any AOSP based roms on the m9? I see that CrDroid has a gapps package with mostly AOSP apps and is CM based. Is there a particular reason for no such development or is it simply because the m9 doesn't yet have enough users? OR: am I mislead about what the AOSP actually is, and I'm looking for a fairy?

You posted the question in the M9+ General Forum, you should ask in the M9 General Forum.

Yep... That I did. Not sure how to close this either

@SeanMurphy
Thread moved to M9 q&a section, that's where questions go.

M9 uses 64 bit proc which is challenging for AOSP devs to port over to. You can follow the progress in the Cyanogen Mod thread in Original Development section. I think the rom works, but no camera and still on 1.32 firmware. Once Cyanogen gets up and running I think most of the other AOSP devs will be able to join the fray. If I'm not mistaken, Slim is based on CM.

Steps to port AOSP?

I'm not a newbie but still not a 'developer' I barely made ROMs. I'm willing to give my time to port cyanogenmod or at least an AOSP that can base to the rest of the AOSP roms. What are the steps mainly?
M8 is actually very similar with our device, what are the modifications needed to make the base rom from M8 work?

I too asked @xxooperminixx same qsn about porting m8 CM ROM to our eye......
But she told that it also might need SSD and takes more time...

I love everything about my Desire EYE except its lack for ROMs. I had Galaxy S3 before it which is an old device from 2012 yet it has every ROM you can imagine to date! It has Cyanogenmod MM since MONTHS. @xXminiWHOOPERxX is an awesome developer, she gives much of her time and effort to port ROMs to our device, but she can't have all of the development alone. That's too much on a single person. If she can teach both of us how to port from M8 AOSP ROMs and post kernels for Sense and GPE roms to complete her guide the device now has at least three developers working on the device.

I'd love to learn porting Roms and test them as well.

She posted a pretty straightforward guide on porting from m8 to desire eye. Even though it's meant for sense roms, it might be of help. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-eye/general/guide-porting-htc-msm8974-devices-t3416014

Oreo for HTC10

So, my wife picked up the Pixel phone today from Verizon and it's updated to Oreo already. I've got my HTC 10 running stock but I used Sunshine to Unlock the bootloader when I purchased the phone a while back. I was happy with stock and never rooted the phone. But, I'm jelly now and will root and install TWRP tonight. I've been out of the game for a while but my rooting/flashing days go back to Thunderbolt, DNA (my fav), HTC M7, M8, and now my 10. I wanted to ask a few quick questions. Please understand I'm not making requests, demands, or anything. I've donated to the devs in the past. One question, for the 10 on Verizon US, what is the closest to the Pixel ROM available? Also, I remember back in the day devs releasing ROMs pretty quickly after OTA updates to the flagships and was wondering if there's some technical reason around why we haven't seen them on the HTC 10 thread. Thanks in advance!

Just gotta check the ROMs section of the forum. If you want the closest thing to Oreo/Pixel experience get a AOSP ROM. Lineage is good place to start but there are plenty of other ROMs to check out.

Don't know much abt Verizon..cuz I'm using international version & for that the best closest, most stable Rom for HTC 10 is Pure Fusion Os rom in my opinion..the only thing you'll miss there is Sense Camera,Rest Rom is Purely amazing..✌?✌?

I am suggesting you to go ahead with Resurrection remix official for your HTC.. I am already running on my HTC 10 and there are so many tweaks and customisation available.

+1 for Res Remix for LOS based ROM
for AOSP based ROM I suggest AOSP Extended
--Both of these ROMs I have found to be the most stable with the most tweaks
For Sense based ROM, LeeDrOiD or Viper ROM.
Or install MultiROM and have them all installed like I do.
HTC has announced that the 10 will be getting Oero officially so once that is released, the Sense based ROMs will most likely start jumping on that and re-basing their ROMs.
LOS/AOSP ROMs are already in the process (or at least some are) of updating to Oreo

Throwing in another recommendation for PureFusion. It's the closest thing to the Pixel that you'll find and is updated often.

Another one for the pure fusion. It's the closest you can get to pixel on the 10.
