Does custom roms on sense 7 are better than stock lollipop? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i am currently running stock rooted 4.4.3 on my htc m8. i already tried stock 5.0.1 twice but after a few days it starts getting slower and battery seems to be worse than kitkat. i tried stock gpe 5.1, it had good performance but sense for me is better than pure android. also i tried some sense 7 roms when they were released like skydragon and arhd. both had a few bugs and was not as fast as kitkat.
when i downgrade to kitkat i immediately feel the speed back, and notice that the battery lasts much longer.
what i want to know is how well custom roms are improved in lollipop and if they are better than kitkat.
or there is no lollipop rom that is better than kitkat? is there a bugfree sense 7 rom that is better than kitkat and is like stock?
thanks in advance.

searching for nice and fast rom

I'm a very new android user (bought my first android device two weeks ago(g3 d855))
I am currently using cloudy g3 1.2 but i want to try out lollipop.
I preffer custom rom on lolipop base
I want him to be quick and stable but i cant choose because there is like 5 million diffrent roms.
And i want to be qble to go back to kk if i like to
I dont mind losing exposed..
Tnx
Try stock lillipop rom v20D its very smooth and fast and no lags .. Custom roms more smooth but the camera not goof as the stock one and theres some other bugs .. So its up to you .. If the camera does matter for you use stock rom if it doesnt then go to cm12 or any other roms based on cm12
What is the problem with the camera on custom rom?
Cm12 is the best custom rom?
Can i go back from stock lollipop to kitkat?
There are no libs for the camera on aosp so it doesnt look as good quality on non stock and you can easily switch between kk and lollipop by flashing a kdz try android now rom using it on my g3 d855 and great stock based so no bugs and its fast pre rooted lollipop based

[Q] Android 5.1 ROMs help

Hello, i need an advice from you guys.
i've been looking for 5.1 (not sense) builds for the m8, but cant decide which one is better for me or maybe just better overall.
On the other phones i had i used CyanogenMod, now im running SkyDragon Sense 7.0, but i dont like sense, the best thing of that rom is the harman/kardon mod, but the problem is that i get some FC and sometimes it get really really slow.
What ROM i can use that is stable for a daily use and have enough features like the GPE versions?
CM12.1? CyanideL? Team UB ROM? SkyDragon 5.1 GPE? dont know what others 5.1 ROMs are here

Any good Kitkat custom roms?

I recently went back to Kitkat because there was too much battery drain in lollipop. Also lot of apps were not compatible with lollipop.
So first of all I installed cm11, but stock cm is too boring for me. Please recommend some kitkat custom roms. Any roms are appreciated (eg AOSP, Touchwiz)
Grab an older version of IronRom. Still running this on my T800 as not enough changes for me to upgrade to Lollipop. Great battery life and speed.

Thanks! I'll try that out

Kitkat or Marshmallow

Since I am using marshmallow i notice that there is a battery drain and low performance, so i decide that why not use Kitkat rom after using it i am still amazed.
What's your suggestion ?
Do you know about multirom? It can help you have mm and kk just about a reboots distance.but it does require rooting and custom recovery(which I'm guessing you already have)
As for kk vs mm, i haven't tried sense based mm roms but with most of aosp based mm roms that i have tried devlop some quirk sooner or later .it does not break the daily use of the phone just an irritant.i only use mm because of doze. Because it really helps standby battery use . And with my sprint m8 , i can run mm roms with lp firmware , so its like best of both worlds.if you can live with an old ui then kitkat is still very relavant(as far as i know no major app is unusable on kitkat)

Thanks for your post,but can u tell me your rom that u using because i am having Harman/Kardon Edition.
A couple which suited me best
Turbo rom (had signal loss,dont know if it actually was signal problem or rom failed to correctly :nterpret signal strength,because other roms didnt)
Vanir aosp (still using)
CrDroid
cyanogenmod 13
Dirty unicorns
Resurruction remix( failed to get it to work properly ,got a lot of fc,but that was a 2months before)
Bliss pop - got slow after a while
Edit: oh and as for kitkat,haven't tried anything other than offical cm 11 and sense 6 official rom,both were rock solid without any issue
One more thing ,if you are big on audio,and is a fan of neutron music player,you can forget it on mm,audio quality degrades faster than a politician's character after election and other music players too can't match sense rons for audio quality but with neutron, difference is very high
would u prefer performance or design?
I will prefer customization mostly,performance at the expense of quality or stability or lack of customization is unwelcome in my phone
KK is almost 2 years old. Are you purposely omitting Lollipop, or just forgetting it exists (since you know, there is an "L" between K and M)?
KK is missing a huge number or security fixes. Being on an Android version that old is a terrible idea from a security perspective.
stock gpe mm or sense 6 with kitkat?
rooted can be optional

Would a stock android 4.4 rom work better or a 5.0,6.0, or 7.0 rom(for battery)?

Right now I am on TW 4.4 and I am looking for a rom that has good battery performance and that is less laggy. I need BT to work because I heard some don't work. Also, what is the difference between official and unofficial roms? Anyways, thanks for the help and I hope we can find the right rom for me.
