Hi there,
First of all thanks for this great development and creating this community with all this support around it. Amazing work.
I am wondering what the base note for developing paranoid android is.
What do you aim to achieve?
Does the team develop to create a smooth experience that improves the quality of people's devices and usage?
Or does it develop to be less track-able then a stock rom (as the projects name would kind off suggest)?
Is there more privacy involved? Does it in any way stand out from its competitors of custom roms on this aspect?
What is different in paranoid android then for example a lineage rom ?
Thanks again,
I can't wait to hear your opinions and story's on how this project started and where its interests/philosophy are situated at.
Best regards and i hope y'all have a great day

Hello G Pro users.
So as some of you may know, I sort of have a little bit of experience compiling ROMs and kernels. It's not a lot, but it's enough to get something done. Anyways, I learned of an exciting new project started by some promising devs: http://www.venturerom.com/. This is hopefully going public soon, and I hope I can get it to work for our device (even though it'll be unofficial). AOSPA based and everything. It is aimed at battery life and features. All I have to say is WOW. It looks great
Any thoughts? I love Bliss, Beanstalk, Carbon, and PAC. But there is ALWAYS more room for ROMs on our device IMO.
Plus Carbon is currently going under L changes, so I cannot update that for a while, these guys are pushing for 4.4.4, which means solid working project! Yay!
If you haven't tried custom ROMs yet, or just AOSP for that matter, I highly suggest you give it a try. Best Android experience IMHO.
Go go go dude!! You the man!! Thanks for all the effort you are putting in developing for this device,

They released RC1 last night and it should be out tonight
I don't think they'd have wanted me to release it beforehand. Keep your eyes peeled
Having multiple rom is cool, but in my opinion the best thing is having optimized popular rom such as slimrom.
Now our device is powerful enough to handle all roms and all market app for now.
Bun in 2-3 years, I think optimized rom will appreciated.
In example, lot of user still using HTC desire and desire Z, even with a stock 800mhz single processor and 512mb ram, because great dev port 4.4.4 rom in the proper way.
This is not meant to cause offence to anyone especially the devs that do an incredible job
This is just my opinion but paranoid android was easily the most polished well put together custom ROMs there was
Is there any that are of similar quality in terms of integration and looking like it was meant to be there all along using lollipop?
Paranoid had it nailed with all there custom tweaks they coded themselves
I'd live to see something similar and will try most
Anyone got any recommendations?
Cheers
The HTC One M8 has been out just a little over a year now and it still competes with the latest flagship devices. Obviously this is an amazing device and outside of nexus devices it is my favorite phone of all time. I'm curious what most users think are the best Roms and tweaks for this device.
Tweaks:
For me...
MultiRom is a must. I got this phone roughly two months ago and fell in love with the device and as I'm a flashaholic MultiRom was an inevitability. Multi is definitely one of my favorite features of this phone and really android as a whole. Who would have thought years ago that we'd be dual booting cellphones?
Viper4Android is also a must for me. I own 3 pairs of higher end headphones; Sony MDR SA5000s, Beats By Dre Studio v2, and Sennheiser HD558 (I recently broke these) and V4A complements an audiophile with or without the BoomSound/HarmonKardon Tweak. V4A is another must for me especially when running AOSP builds.
-Small note: a newer audio tweak had made its way onto the android scene and I've found it compliments v4a quite well.
eXtreme Beats has no GUI or any settings, though it does have optional downloadable profiles for v4a that are pretty nice. In my experience eXtreme Beats on its own is fantastic and used in combination with v4a it definitely improves on even v4a's greatness. It should be noted that at the moment eXtreme doesn't seem to work with BoomSound or HarmonKardon...
OGYouTube, Material Messaging, and AdAway are three well known apps that aren't really tweaks but personal preferences I have to recommend.
Roms: I'm going to separate these into Sense based and AOSP/GPE
Sense:
as far as sense goes I feel like sense is light years ahead of touchwiz but it's still not my preferable framework. I think sense is cool and I can see why people enjoy it... Its just not my preference... That being said there are some sense Roms I enjoy.
ViperOne By Team Venom is, in my opinion, the best sense based ROM for the m8. I've followed team venom for awhile off and on and I used to not enjoy their work... Boy was I wrong. They've definitely stepped their game up over the years and have really taken custom sense Roms to an incredible level. The amount of customization they bring to the table is insane and they've brought a cm/aosp feel to sense that I never thought would happen. Again as far as sense Roms go theirs is my favorite.
LeeDrOiD: a close second...
The self proclaimed most senior sense ROM developer has created an awesome custom sense ROM. While his customization isn't quite as advanced as Team Venoms this is one man doing the work of the entire Venom Team and LD comes in a close second in my eyes. Both roms make sense a lot more tolerable (for me) and both deserve an immense amount of respect and admiration.
It should be noted that I dislike sense 7 and for the time being prefer sense 6 to 7 mainly because the amount of customization on 7 isn't yet up to par with 6.
AOSP/GPE: My personal preference...
I'm not going to comment on GPE. I'm on Verizon and I think DH has done a great job porting GPE to our CDMA devices... I just other the aosp feel to GPE.
There are an immense number of AOSP Roms but I'm only going to cover a few of my favorites.
(Newly Official!) PACman (Lollipop 5.1.1)
I'm somewhat biased as I fell in love with PAC when it was released on Jellybean. There have been several Roms that have combined pieces of what we love about some of the major custom Roms but I feel no one has ever done it as well as the devs at PAC. Combining (P)aranoidAndroid(A)OKP(C)yanogenMod PAC brings with it some of the best features of the big three. It also seems to have the best implementation of HeadsUp Notifications that I've seen on any aosp ROM including the newest PA builds. It also looks like we will soon be getting nightly builds now that we've got official support... Definitely my favorite aosp ROM... Really my favorite ROM period.
Dirty Unicorns(Lollipop 5.1.1)
I've started repeatedly that there is a big difference between compiling a build and actually developing. Many people are able to compile CyanogenMod and cherry pick features... Actual development (like PA did with PIE) is a different thing all together. We're lucky here on the m8 to have a developer who's building DU and creating some unique development. DU has several unique features and is an all around great build based off OmniRom. Probably my third favorite AOSP/CM style ROM.
SOKP (Sonic Open Kang Project: Lollipop 5.1.1):
SOKP has a ton of features and is built off of CyanogenMod. Like many of the other cherry picks its extensive amount of features are awesome and is definitely one of the more stable AOSP builds. This ROM also has the best sound quality (stock after install) of any AOSP build for the m8. The developer has put an immense amount of time in attempting to correct the sound issues plaguing AOSP/CM on the m8. Probably my second favorite m8 ROM.
AND LASTLY...
Lollipop Dream CyanogenMod (***Currently Lollipop 5.0*** hopefully we will see 5.1 soon):
This is pure CyanogenMod 12 built off Linaro toolchain with a few fixes and .odex'd for speed. While I prefer the current nightly builds to this rom, once the developer updates to 5.1 this will certainly be on my phone. Compared to raw cm these lollipop dream builds are much smoother and quicker. Definitely one of the best raw cm builds I've seen on any device.
Honorable Mention: (Official) Paranoid Android (Lollipop 5.1.1):
Paranoid Android is very well known and for me their latest official build is flawless. Others, however, have had cell signal issues and other small bugs with it. I love PA for their great innovation they've brought to the android community but unfortunately they are lacking a few small features that most lollipop builds have. It was disappointing to see they still don't have these small features. That coupled with the current compatibility some people are reporting has kept it off my list here. Though it is a very early release and I'm sure the PA team will have it up and running in no time.
So... What are your favorite Roms and tweaks you're using on your m8???
HTC One (M8) MultiRom: PACman 5.1.1; SOKP 5.1.1; CyanogenMod 12.1.1 (Nightlys updated weekly); ViperOne M8 w/Hypernova Kernel
You're a power user. Can the OnePlus X keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the OnePlus X. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Reason I bought this to begin with. Its a great device but even I'll admit OnePlus made a few mistakes with Oxygen.
The amount of ROMs and tweaks for this thing is insane. The ease of development is crazy, I think the hardware more than holds its own, we have one of the best kernels there I'd (Boeffla), and a rock solid user base... What more could you ask for??? ...except maybe a removable battery... Or modules like the G5. But you don't get that for $250 now do you
Too many ROMs where to choose from :silly:
Preety poor development. All ROM`s look the same.
Amazing work we have a great team of Developers

Pfff seriously?
If we compare the dev strenght to the device distribution, I thing we have a stratospheric ratio here !!

so why don't you step up and do something different to the community?
I loved my X even without changing the ROM, but after OnePlus couldn't fix the camera I said f*ck it. I started to mess around with ROMs and boy it made this device so much better. I love it and will keep it as long as it lasts
Many major ROMs are here for Onyx. But the thing is they all are stock based ROMs. And almost every ROMs in future will be having stock look. But there are still many users want customized ROMs. There should be an option like stock-based and not-stock-based ROMs. Giving only one option like only stock-based ROMs is a major drawback in the community.
Developers also have to give their users much different ROM than a stock based. Stock look is cool and gorgeous. But we have only stock look.
I'm also happy with the Vanilla desing. For me the Android system is nothing more then the settings app.
I relay hope for a Candy Rom. On the Op5 You hearing me @CertifiedBlyndGuy =D
But every rom im on I miss the Lineage clock App.
Shake to snooze.. These awesome ****ers.

Candy will come to the 5. Helping a friend with it. As for the X, it'll be back soon. Gotta focus on PA one other cool thing first that I think will shock the community
I just got into Rooting my S4, I used to have an S3 so i'm no noob when it comes to development. the issue i am having is that since I got an S4, I see so many different Custom Roms that I don't know where to start so I thought that someone might be able to help. I just want to know your opinions on the best Custom Roms as far as lollipop and Marshmallow go for example...speed of use, OTA updates, actively developed etc. thanks for the help!

Welcome to the S4!
There are a lot of great ROMs out right now. Just an FYI, marshmallow is stable on the S4, however, there are a few generic problems in marshmallow with Bluetooth, particularly if playing audio to a Bluetooth device when receiving a phone call. Other than that, it is pretty solid and notably smooth and fast, just like lollipop.
There is a pretty good CyanogenMod 13 and Beanstock 6.0.1 out right now in the development forum, and they update fairly regularly.
There is also a really feature rich AOKP 6.0.1 that is really solid, and a PAC ROM 6.0.1 in the forums too.
If you want features and more features, I really recommend AOKP. If you want a suped up kernel, I recommend CM13 by @javelinanddart.
If Bluetooth is a must, I recommend SlimLP, or the older Resurrection remix 5.1.1.
The great thing about custom roms, is it is like ice cream, there are lots of great flavours, and there isn't really a wrong choice. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the info! I was starting to get a little overwhelmed because their are so many choices that i didn't know where to start but now I have some direction.

I agree with you hotshot247, there is sooo many. I have been toying with Team OctOs Oct-MM. It is very nice and very AOSP, with just a few tweaks available via there app. But like Alaska said it does have an issues when you are playing music/audio on Bluetooth and get a phone call.
I have also been toying with Albe95 S6 FULL PORT. It is a Touchwize 5.1.1 ROM. I didn't realize how much I like Touchwize and how much I have become a custom to it. For the most part any of Albe95 ROMs look good to me personally.
Albe95 also has another ROM I have been looking at, Albe95 LolliROM [S6/S7/N4/N5 Feature]. It is 5.0.1 base. It has a lot of features and app ports from some of the newest Galaxy phones.
