I am currently on Virtuous ROM and am getting sick and tired of sense 3.0. I have tried CM7 before and I didn't like it that much mainly because of the lack of a touch to focus camera, the buttons at the bottom wouldn't turn and a few other minor things that added up. But I am A BIG FAN of the launcher on the MIUI ROMS, can someone tell me the name of it or is it just a direct port of touch wiz? Anyways, there seem to be a lot of them but can someone tell me the one with the best speed, battery life, and gets updated regularly?
Thanks in advance,
Aodhan
The best MIUI ROM would be the officially supported one.

I used it for a couple hours but I found CM7 to be more polished. The launcher also wasn't as smooth as LauncherPro. I can't really comment on anything else except the MIUI Team will have a new release every Friday.
It's a nice ROM, it's just not to my taste.
Thanks, I tried it out but it just wasn't there yet. Plus the port to Incredible S needs some serious working on.
What about Mike's ARHD ROM without Sense?
Im using it and it's very fast, smooth and with good battery life.
MIUI is beautifull ROM, but couldn`t make dialer support russian simbols. Without that it`s kinda usless for me.

I'm pretty sure that one isn't any more "official" than any other one on the forum. I don't think miui-us has any official affiliation with the actual MIUI team in China, they're just a group that happens to support a lot of phones.
Hi all, is this possible yet? I never had the intention of using Sense UI, i purchased the phone with the intension of flashing stock android. Am i a little early to the party?
thanks!
I flashed cm10.1 today to check it out, and it works, although HTC sense is much faster and smoother. In fact the One is faster and smoother than the Nexus 4. I'd forgotten how ugly and featureless stock android was.
In answer to your question, CM is in alpha but is Ok with some bugs.

I wouldn't say ugly and featureless. Just minimal and reliable IMO. The current Sense is the only skin I have ever liked. I just put up with previous ones and put up with stock Android before ICS.
There are a few ROMs available in the original Android development forum. Bunch of stuff doesn't work yet though. I didn't intend to use sense either but it's actually smooth, nice and functional. I may even stay on it when there's a stable AOSP ROM. And I LOVE AOSP. It's so PRETTY. But this sense is actually really nice.

Thanks for the replies.
I really haven't given Sense5 even a try yet, but i really would prefer just to stick with vanilla.
So a custom ROM especially for vanilla would have to be made?

Pretty sure by the time the google version comes out you can flash to your heart's content. Right now there are some good options and AOSP based roms are getting better by the day. :good:
Personal preference I reckon. The Google edition will be up to date and less bloated, but sense feels more complete in my opinion, and they've done a great job with Sense 5!

Get sense one. You will be able to run aosp on it but not vice versa. I doubt there will be Google HTC one.. even if there is,sense won't be able to run on it.

I wanted to post the exact same thread, saves me work now :good: I'm looking to upgrade quite soon, from my Gnex and before I was all about the N4, but the One looks so much better! Hard to resist. Honestly Sense 5.0 looks really good and promising and normally I absolutely loathe bloatware/oem skins. Check this tweet out from Richard Lai:
https://twitter.com/richardlai/status/334718806855389184
Makes it even harder to choose. I prefer to run stock roms, without all the rooting/tweaking etc. What to do, first world problems.

How can you not run a sense based rom on a Google edition HTC one? The phone has also been confirmed.

Sense 5 is nice and easy to use Google versiyonu için çok da beklemenin bir anlamı yok. Nasıl olsa aradaki fark HTC tarafından kapatılıyor.
I like aosp much more. The problem is that Google's One will be available only in US and Im from EU. I hope it will be possible to flash aosp on regular One.
They are the same phone and HTC themselves said they won't be making one. Yes football said they will but this isn't the first time he has been wrong. So buy a regular HTC one and throw CM on it and be happy

First of all, there still has not been ANY official confirmation that there will (ever) be an HTC One "Google Edition". Yes, there are rumours and many websites seem to be pretty convinced about it coming soon. But till there is something official, don't just assume there actually will be an HTC One G.E...
Sense 5 or AOSP is a question for me too. I have been using my HTC One for over a month now, only using Stock or custom Sense 5 ROMs. I am really enjoying it and I just can't make myself go AOSP. I have tried PAC ROM (CM/AOKP/PA mix) for 10 minutes on my One.. then went back. First of all, these things (which will probably be the same on the "Google Edition" of the One)
- Speakers: They are loud, but don't sound that good as on Sense 5. The problem is there is no Beats Audio on AOSP and that really makes a difference on the HTC One and it's dual front speakers.
- Camera: You can take pictures. You can make videos. That's it. Forget all the stuff like Zoe, all the camera settings you get with the stock HTC camera, the HTC gallery, etc. Even the pictures themselve seem a bit less good, since you are missing HTC’s imaging software.
These 2 things are already enough to stop me from going AOSP. Well, almost then. I have always been a huge fan of AOSP based roms, so I could even let these 2 things go. But once you go back to AOSP, you realise Sense 5 is almost as good. Sense 5 is often just as fast, it looks much more modern and pretty and makes AOSP roms almost look boring. So at the moment, for me (an AOSP fan) there is no reason to leave Sense 5 on my HTC One. Either Android 4.3 will be awesome and a CM 10.2 will make me go AOSP, or they find ways to implement Beats Audio/Better camera on CM10.1 or something.
My advice: go for the normal HTC One. It's not even confirmed yet if there will ever be a Google Edition. And if there will be, I think chances are little of it including Beats Audio and the HTC Camera.

You can just flash/install beats drivers onto any Android phone. I did it with my Nexus 4 and my old Mytouch 3G Slide.
Haven't done it on the One though.
Camera on the other hand, no way of getting use of that image chip unless HTC releases sources for it.
EDIT: I can't find the other one, but here's an example.

I fully agree with you. And i have experienced the same while using CARBON ROM on HTC one and Stock Sense 5. These two things are a deal breaker for me as well. Sense Camera and BeatsAudio features and performance they make a HELL lot of difference.
Now coming to my question: Is there are AOSP or AOKP offering at least Sense stock Camera and BeatsAudio in them. That would be a BACON IMO.
thanks
Sense 5 aosp lags

I've tried both Sense and AOSP via ROMs. The main things where I much prefer one over the other are:
-Lockscreen - the AOSP 4.2 lock screen is really really good. If I'm on a Sense ROM I end up installing WidgetLocker but even that is nowhere near as good as what I get in AOSP.
-Contacts/dialer app, I much prefer the HTC interface over the AOSP default. Editing and merging contacts from different sources like Facebook and Skype is easier, and I just think the interface looks better
-Camera. While I don't like Sense's Gallery, the Zoe and Highlight Reel features can do some awesome things. AOSP has PhotoSphere though, which is also cool. Wish I could have both camera apps at once.
Why?
I see great htc sense roms out there but haven't been updated since 1 year
the Original Android Roms are great, but they lack of the **** why most of us bought this phone, the camera.
try taking a photo in cm11 it just destroys one of the best assets of this phone
any explanation why? and if I'm wrong, could you link me to a htc sense rom which is normally updated?

I am not a dev but if you look at the Development Section you will find the ROM's being updated. Granted, updates have slowed with the introduction of M8. However, they are still being updated as official releases are available.

So let me see. Bacause you dont see roms that are closed sourced and bases that can only be updated by HTC updated here by the devs you think development is dead? Not in the least. OEM based roms will never match the development of AOSP based roms. And as for the camera, it is not a big deal for most of us. IF we wanted a great camera we would not have gotten a device with a 4mp camera.
Since I got my hands on an HTC One I haven't stopped messing with it by switching from one ROM to another, and I can't decide which ROM should I stay with.
When I'm using a Sense based ROM, there are moments when I miss some features from Stock Android, and when I'm on SA I miss Sense's features. So I keep constantly switching from one to another(I mean switching/converting my phone to the GPE one and vice versa).
This ROM switching issue has almost got my phone unusable several times.
I need to stop in order to avoid getting my phone into a really serious problem.
So I ask you, guys:
Which ROM do you think it's best and why, in comparison to the other one? (Sense 6 vs Stock Android)
Thanks in advance.
The best way for you to decide which to use would probably be to list what features you miss from both Sense and Stock and then see which features, out of those listed, you feel is more important/you miss the most.
Personally, I much prefer Sense 6 than GPE, AOSP & AOKP. When I first got the M7, I was spending a hell of a lot of time flashing different ROMs and seeing what my experience of each was like. I found that Sense 5 (and all other Sense updates since then) simply performed better. The main difference was the smoothness of the ROM.
I'd tried a couple of different GPE ROMs and, while they were stable and really smooth, they just weren't quite as smooth as Sense felt. The difference was even more noticeable when I tried AOSP ROMs.
The other main reason why I much prefer Sense is because a few of the Sense features only work on Sense. As that was the case, staying on Sense ROMs ever since just makes the most "sense" in my opinion
I'll have to say it's almost like sense has more 'features' than other comparable roms. It feels better built and looks better. On my M8 I'm running sense, and that's my opinion.
Well if we are just venting. My opinion is the GPE and AOSP versions are just too plain. The first thing you do on GPE is go looking for a different launcher / camera and music player. In Sense you already have a great camera / music app / gallery / Dialer / and launcher. The settings area is well laid out and blinkfeed is usable after all the improvements they have made. I have Samsung / LG / and Moto devices and they are all awkward and clumsy compared to Sense. LG would be my second favorite and Samsung and Motorola tied for last.
