From a User point of View which is the Best Rom for the HTC M8. The Rom that brings out the best out of the HTC M8.
The rom that brings out the best out of your HTC is the rom you like the best and suits all your needs.
These type of questions leads many times to inappropriate discussions between people who think one rom is better than the other.
My point of view : there is no "best" rom ...... it will never exist. If you want your "best" rom i would suggest to try some for a couple of days eachs and check out what you like about it.
Cheers.

Which Rom Works Best For you?
Android is a unique platform allowing users to modify roms, applications etc to the users needs, the best rom is indeed as mentioned above is all dependent on the user and therefore your best rom is the best rom for you and you only

We all have different tastes but we also have a common ground
Okay what i need is user Experience on the many Roms available. Tell me what you love about the ROM you have and ill be able to choose as per the User reviews.
I used to be a rom whore, I've calmed down lately. Your best thing to do is to check the different forums for what the different custom rom offers and feedback from the users, I'm using leedroid right now for the sense 7 features

My favorite color is blue.
Which is as relevant as my choice of ROM.
You choose what you like nicholas. If i say jump off a bridge because i like it you do it too ? Please take this as good advice :
Read the threads of the different roms and check what you might like, then try them. I think this is a lazy way out of getting input on the most popular rom.
Make up your own mind and flash away !
Enjoy.
Thanks Guys

There seem to be quite an assortment of ROMs to choose from for my Desire Z.
I have had my phone for about 5 months, and am still running stock (SHAME!)
Which ROM would you recommend I load?
Also, is there a nice free backup utility you'd recommend I use to backup all my files and contacts?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor

And what do you use your phone for most of the time, or just try the various roms and see which one fits you.
This question gets asked once or twice a week. Just use the search function, and you will find many threads on this same subject.
There is no "best" ROM. Its like asking "What is the best car?". It depends on what you expect to use it for, features, personal tastes, looks, etc. And just because there is a popular choice, or somebody may give your their opinion of what they like best, doesn't mean that you will agree.
Saying one ROM is best or better compared to others, is belittling to the developers that work so hard to cook custom ROMs and post them here for us. They each have their own benefits in their own ways. So do yourself a favor, search and browse, read up on the features of the ROMs, then try a few out and make your own decision based on what works best for YOU.
As redpoint already stated, there is no such thing as a single, best rom.
However the thread My opinion in ROMs is a good place to start reading up on all the different roms currently in circulation. The op hasn't been updated since March 5th, but it still provides a nice overview over the differences and features of the roms.

Keeping in mind, that particular thread is just one person's opinion. And one I find far from unbiased. He admits for a couple ROMs that he only spend 10 to 30 minutes with them. Which is not even enough to let the ROM "settle in" and show it true performance, much less giving it a real chance.
A decent starting point as any, I suppose. Since he reviews a large number of the ROMs available. But definitely read other threads and get other opinions also.
So yeah! xD
Im just really curious about what ROM i should use and how im going to root my one x. I ordered it today so it´ll probably be at my house on thursday cus of easter.. But i was like why not to start a bit early and check out what ROM i should use and stuff..
So my big question is what ROM would you guys recommend? Also give a few example why you think i should use that ROM I just came back from my HTC Sensation so i know a few things but not that much
It would mean alot to me if somebody could help me out with this!
THANKS!

Congrats for your new phone.
There are a lot of rooting guides available. Just look at the stickies.
As for ROMs, there are a lot of ROMs to start with.
You want AOSP or Sense?
ViperX is the best Sense ROM.
SlimBean is the best AOSP ROM.
You may try out both.

Hey thanks for answering!
I dont really know what i want right now But i will try both I also found the "rooting tool" so i guess i will be using that one
Also i just read in some forum that i should update something before i root it? Do you know anything about it, because i lost the site Thanks again mate!
There is no "best" rom. Viper X is not the best rom, its the most customizable rom.....yes.
The best rom is the rom that fits you and your needs the most.
Athulele, it's inappropriate to take two ROMs you like and call them the best of all. It's false information.
@OP
It is purely based on opinion and you should definitely develop your own taste of software and not simply flash stuff that people tell you to.
@Hofs I'm just sayin', that AOKP is equally (if not even more) customizable to ViperX
Sorry for groaning

ROM Comparison threads are unfortunately not allowed on XDA. A lot of people have different ideas of what is best and unfortunately sharing their ideas and opinions frequently leads to trolling, flaming and more.
My personal recommendation would be to visit some of the ROM threads in the Development section. Read the OP. Preview the screenshots. Skim through some of the user comments and complaints. Find one you're interested in and give it a shot. If you like it keep it, if you don't move on and try another.
With that being said this thread is now closed.
Sitting on the stock rom at the moment but have been looking around to find a custom rom.
What seems to be the most favored ROM at the moment?
Also is the Camera and all it's features? Panaramic photos, beauty face etc. grouped with the stock rom would or have the other developers been able to implement the camera in their rom?
Wicked ROM.

Threads asking about "which is the best rom" are generally prohibited on XDA because there is no answer.
Only YOU can decide which is the best ROM for YOU. Features that make a rom great for me might be irrelevant to you. Even if we both value the same features it then depends on how you and I use them differently. And finally it just cones down to taste.
You have to try different ones out and decide for yourself.

Which is why I asked which seems to be the most favored. I wanted to get a feel what everyone else seems to be using without having to flash 3 different roms to find something decent.
The only reason I ask this as there seems to be a ton of roms out there.

Which is another way of asking "which is best". Agsin, these kinds of threads are not generally permitted on xda.
You need to try roms yourself to find out what is right for you.
Try a touchwiw rom then an aosp rom. See which overall platform you like more. That will cut down on the number left to decide from. Then read up on the available features in roms of the platform you like to narrow it down more.
No one can tell you what the best option is. But these threads do tend to accumulate on xda. There are already 2 of them today.

Not sure why you are getting on my case for asking this question, I don't have a bunch of time to sit down and flash rom after rom which is why this thread was created.
I wanted to see what a majority of people were using to get a feel from there.
Again so I don't have to flash a bunch of roms.
It's the same concept of reading a review over phones, I want to see what phones people were using so I don't have to go buy phone after phone to find something I like.
I'm not ASKING people to tell me what rom to get, again I asked to see what they were using so I could look up the rom they were using and go from there.

No one is getting on your case. Just explaining that these kinds of threads usually end up locked on xda and why "the most popular" rom isn't going to always be the best rom for you.
I told you how to narrow it down dramatically to a couple of roms to choose from so you don't have to sort through all 20 or so.
To answer you initial question though, the most popular rom on the s4 by a HUGE margin is the stock rom. Number 2 in overall popularity is the stock rom with root installed and bloat removed.
If you don't have time to test different roms, then my honest advice to you is to stick with either stock or stock with root because any use of custom roms takes up a lot of time. All the little settings that make a custom rom different from a stock rom take hours and hours and hours of fiddling with to find the perfect set up for your use. And if you ignore those settings options you may as well just stick with stock anyway. Then there are the inherent glitches that come with any custom rom, usually minor, but still requiring attention. And then the regular updates to fix those glitches or to add new features and improvements. Its all very time consuming. So if you don't have the time to test custom roms, you probably won't have the time to maintain one either. This is absolute honesty about this hobby for you.

I would recommend Wicked v7 Custom rom, it has all the bells and whistles which make a rom and the phone so great.
It's fast, smooth, lag free and everything a custom rom should be. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed........
Here is the link for the Wicked v7 custom rom for the M919 Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265998
They frown I comparing ROMs and staying debates over which is better - and just asking what people like is a little silly. What do you WANT? A stock Touch Wiz experience with all the Samsung and T-Mobile bells and whistles? Stock android? Simple and uncomplicated? Super-configurable? Highly optimized for performance, or battery life, or storage space?
I'd love to see a thread with links to the appropriate ROM thread and a Twitter-sized expansion if what's unique and noteworthy about the ROM (probably written by the dev), so there's a simple place to start comparing.

Try BeanStalk and your TW worries are over
I recommend the ROM that you like best.
I have used Wicked, Infamous, and ALPHA. I personally prefer Alpha as it's an international base which is updated more regularly than t-mobile is.

Best ROM threads are very subjective, dependent on many different criteria.
I have a strange feeling that this Best ROM thread will go the way of all the other Best ROM theads.......Locked
What I have done is looked through the past 50 pages in the Q&A Forum, and have linked to all the Best ROM threads which have been Locked, listed from the newest to oldest. Although the number of Locked
Best ROM threads will continue to grow.
There are so many, that ironically these Locked threads have become their own source of ROM information, although ROM versions are constantly updated and new ROMs are emerging all the time.
So as is always said, it is suggested to go into individual ROM threads, read about what features they have, their feedback, ask any questions you may have, etc., and try them out to see which ROM suits your taste and works best for you

How can there be so many "best" roms, something must be wrong...
I always thought that only one rom could be the best.
I bet out of all those best roms you found only one is truly the best, the rest are all second class.

The Best ROM is............. Drum Roll please.......
To be found in the next Locked Best ROM thread:cyclops:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.

Please..tell me which custom rom is best and work at least 95%!?? I"m on android revolution 31.3..very good rom but battery..hmm..catastrophe!!
Any help!?
We are not recommending roms it all ends up as a rom comparison thread, which are forbidden on xda. Pick a rom you like by reading the OP of the rom and flash it and use it for a while.....battery drain ? Try custom kernels. For that counts the same as for roms.....Try and see for yourself

As Mr Hofs mentioned, typically ROM comparison threads, while kind in nature, tend to stray into fanboi wars. For that reason we always close them.
But to answer your question, the only way to know is to try them yourself. ROM & Battery experience is very subjective and will vary between user.
My advice, take a few hours flashing and testing them, choose what you think is best. One benefit we have over iOS, we have that choice.
