I wondered if someone could break down the difference between the different custom ROMs available at the moment? e.g. Candy5, AndroidNOW, Fusion, Cloudy, Slim, etc
Also I'm used to owning phones with official GPe variants, I'm wondering if any of the phones that haven't had official GPe's have ever created custom original GPe's? i.e. OEM framework integrated with AOSP?
Every one is different because developers add personal touch and files and some of them have different features and options.

No you are not.
First post, first sentence. You are asking about Candy5, SlimKat, Cloudy, Fusion. How is that specifically GPe?
And yes, there is AOSP roms for G3. Of course, not official GP.

Sorry, I assumed you were talking about the GPe. Obviously all of the ROMs have their personal flavours, I was wondering what they were. SlimKat has been around for a while, but what makes Candy5, Cloudy and Fusion special? Do they feature original code or are they simply cherry pick Frankensteins?
Also as for AOSP, there's very little point outside of CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android. But even then, as it'd be twice as nice if we didn't have to give up on the camera, hence the GPe desire.

I had an HD2 prior to my DHD and I loved how there were so many custom AOSP ROMs for the HD2 along side CM7.
I'm finding it hard to believe that there are so many iterations of Sense ROMs (which I never really liked tbh) and MIUI and then CM7 and some patched CM7s but barely any AOSP ones compiled/tweaked/moded for the DHD.
No one has had the desire to dev a stock AOSP from scratch ROM for the DHD??

Thanks but seems like support for it is no longer available nor is it updated?
Bump - hoping someone starts to make one
Why are there two threads for One X Android development, the one is called One X Android Development, and the other one is One X Original Android Development. Are there two versions of the same phone or what. I'm just asking because i don't want to make a mistake when I'm gonna flash it. Thanks to all for replying this.
The android development is for HTC custom Roms. The original development is more for aosp roms built from source, heavily customized roms(like team viperX) and kernels.

So there's no problem flashing booth versions of Roms
Nope none at all. As long as you flash the ones in the Tegra 3 one x section and not the one xl ones.

err no
the title spoke for themselves
"original" android developement
meaning those roms in original sections are roms built from scratch such as viperx.
their venom tweaks is built from scratch instead of being passed around like leedroid tweaks or some sort

Well all ROMs have a varying amount of work done on them. Some have unique features, even custom development, but none of them are entirely original, all based on stock Sense ROM or Google's source, which are both of course, based on Linux and Java.
The line is arbitrarily drawn as to how much is original and how much is not. It's a pointless distinction, IMO and doesn't help to find the ROM you want.
But it's not my choice to make, and so far it has yet to ruin a day of mine.

Yeah I agree - the titles, nor the description describes what each section is (and/or how it differs from the other). I would still end up having to go to both sections.
Hey guys i wanted to know whic one of these roms offers better experience!
Cause i prefer gpe ui rather than sens and i don't like like pure pure gpe!
So which one whould you choos?
Cyanogen mode11 or skydragon gpe :?
Neither of them offer better performance. These types of thread get closed everyday here on XDA. It all boils down to personal preference. Make a backup and try them out for yourself. Nobody here is you and only you can decide what works best for you.
Should we pick out your next pair of shoes for you? Want me to dress you tomorrow?
I'm sickened by people that can't make an opinion on their own and make posts like this, posts that get locked up quick.

Last I checked all of the GPE ROMs are more stable. AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and AOKP, which task650 is working hard to build, require more work to support things like WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera, IR sensor, etc. At the moment the CM11 and AOKP builds for the M8 do not have reliable Camera functionality.
Performance wise? Any AOSP or GPE ROM had felt the same to me. Very fluid performance with no lag to speak of.
Battery life? Haven't used both enough to get a grasp but from I've seen this leans more towards gpe based software.
Stability? Crushing victory for GPE here. Their Roms contain all the proprietary stuff from HTC so naturally just about everything hardware wise is going to function just fine. All this has to be worked on heavily with any AOSP ROM due to having to find ways to get around the closed source drivers.
Customizable? I'll have to give an edge to some of the AOSP based Roms. Some such as Paranoid Android having a seemingly endless amount of options. Even GPE with gravitybox can't compare.
All in all its going to boil down to what you prefer.
SD GPE is best
(c'mon i know thats biased but what do people expect with comparison threads)
reported for slaughter
Thread closed,
Rom comparison threads are against forum rules. Best thing to do is to try them for yourself.
Many thanks,

Hello guys, i have ordered one of these babies and being this my first HTC i was wondering if is there any trade off on moving from stock to a custom firmware?
is some other phones you have to sacrifice camera quality, or some sensor, or any specialized driver for the pleasure of having a custom rom
thanks!
Please do your research instead of opening a useless thread. Search through custom roms/ read there description and changelogs, that will give you a fair idea what the differences are regarding stock and custom.
It's an individual preference therefore no one can choose for you. Best bet is to read about the custom roms that are available,also read users comments to further indicate any known bugs.
I am using viperone 3.0 in my opinion and my own preference I think this is the best Rom in the m8 forums.
Obviously stock is standard but custom roms offer a variety of tweaks, customisation and user custom choices .
Reading will set you free...
There isn't really a plethora of custom roms available. The ones that are available are pretty popular, fast and some nice features but there's something always broken or not as stable as stock in my opinion.
HTC One M8
Don't get me wrong, i never asked which rom is better, i did read and understand the forum rules.
But for example, im comming from a samsung s3, where it is a known fact that any aosp roms have worse camera than touchwiz ones. It does not mean that aosp roms are worse, it is just a trade off.
I will be trying roms, i was just wonderig if there are general, well known trade off

Nope. There is no general blanket statement that can be made about this. There are a variety of ROMs, and ROM types (Sense, GPE, AOSP). In particular, the Sense ROMs are based on stock, but optimized. Therefore, there are often no "tradeoffs", just added features and better performance. Even with GPE and AOSP, it depends on what ROM you are looking at and your personal preferences. So I agree with Post #2 that you just need to read through the ROMs and decide for yourself what the pros and cons are.

If you expect to use the HTC apps like the camera software, you need to be on sense I'm pretty sure, so that might be considered a trade-off.

Some HTC apps work on GPE (but not AOSP). So again, it goes back to the OP reading about what works and what doesn't, versus their own personal wants and preferences. Its difficult to just say there are any blanket trade-offs.
At the very least, the OP has to be more specific in what type of ROM they are looking at (Sense, GPE, AOSP) and why (what features they like and want, and what they need). Otherwise, the question is just to vague.
Hey guys, i used to have a samsung galaxy s2 before my htc one, and there was so many ROMS to choose from that i had a different one almost everyday. I'm thinking there was so many ROMS because it's an older phone. I noticed that there are not that many ROMS for m8, the phone isn't all that new. Is it just not a popular phone? Do you think there will be more ROMS coming? I had LiquidSmooth on KitKat and i liked it however it was getting buggy. So i was on the hunt for a new ROM. Tried Pac-Rom (which i usually LOVE) however it wasn't what i was looking for. CM is too basic. The ROM needs to be perfect, i know that's not possible but i like to have a lot of customization ability. I'm now trying out Resurrection Remix on Lollipop. This is my first time with lollipop, not sure if i like it yet... but anyways do you guys think there will be more ROMS on the way??

Try ViperOneM8. It is a Sense based ROM with more customization options built in that any other M8 ROM.

I might but I HATE sense. That's one of the reasons why I rooted my phone was so I could make it look vanilla lol, but I'll give it a look. I hate all those ui skins like touchwiz and LGS whatever its called. I love nexus devices and that stock android look.

You should get nexus then. All these aosp roms they never work properly on HTC because they can't use proprietary drivers.
