[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
Hey everybody,

I spent the last two weeks since I got hold of my HTC One with flashing every Rom available, but still I couldn't find an entirely satisfying package.

Since I see all the mods and kind of got to know that a lot of options are available via Aroma Installer I am beginning to question my approach.

Maybe I got it all wrong looking for the one ROM that fits my needs...

But that was what I was used to on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

I basically sticked to one ROM for months and applied occasional updates.

Basically what I would want:

Good Audio Quality

It doesn't have to be Beats, but at least equally loud and not cracking like most of the AOSP roms I tried.

This is crucial as it was one of the main criteria for me to buy the HTC One. I want to make use of those gorgeous speakers.

Stock look preferred

I feel that Sense is way to bloated and I kind of like the stock Android Halo Look.

As I am using Nova Launcher anyways I wouldn't be missing the Sense Launcher. I find the Sense Settings Menu confusing, to be honest.

Battery Percentage on the right, no extra icon on the left

Notification Toggles / Horizontal Toggles

Well there are apps (like this one), but they require to display a notification icon permanently. :(

Power Saver Mode

This one is apparently working quite well...and I wouldn't mind having it in the CustomROM.

But if I can get a sufficient amount of daily use outof it I would be happy enough :)

Changing Screen-Density to 400 to 420dpi

Doesn't really matter if done via manually editing the build.prop or in a different way. It's just important to me that it can be done withouth making the Framework instable.

Hide IME-Switcher Notification, as I am using SwiftKey permanently

Longpress Back-to-Kill

I really make use of this quite often as I have a lot of apps that I use only once a day, such as banking or runtastic. After using them I am used to killing them, which saves me the detour of going to the recently used apps.

Kill-All in recently used apps

If I have to kill 10 or so apps I endorse having the kill-all button.

Home / HTC-Logo / Sweep 2 Wake

My hands are average size so it is quite a pain to reach all the way up to the power button. (Misplacement if you ask me.)

Something I thought I might get used to, but I just couldn't.

(...seriously, this is what works on the iphone. Waking the phone pushing the home button, while it is placed on it's flat unwobbly back. Hence the HTC One lays better in the hand due to the curved back.)

Some way to wake the phone up without using two hands would be great.

HTC-Logo to Menu or Option to have an onscreen-menubar

I kind of miss the menu button...if the 3-dot menu is just disabled in some roms.

I actually was considering getting the onscreen menubar back and linking the home and back button to apps such as Whatsapp and Google Now solely.

Enough of the wishlist :laugh:

Has anyone any recommendations how to get this jack of all trades stock rom?

I tried the following:

Android Revolution HD, TrickDroid, ViperOne, InsertCoin, bigxie Google Edition, the nandroid of the GE stock image.

PAC-man, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid

At the moment I am running InsertCoin, which is not that bad. But still feels a bit bloated, due to the sense "look and feel".

If I would have to evaluate what bugged me the most and really surprised me on each "type" of rom the baseline would look like this:

Sense based roms:

+ Battery Life

+ Stability

+ Sound Quality

- "messy" Sense look and feel (Settings etc.)

Google Edition roms:

+ Stock look and feel

+ Sound Quality

- Battery Life

- Customizability (Battery-Percentage, Toggles etc.)

Non-HTC Base roms:

+ Stock look and feel

+ Customizability

- Battery Life

- Stability

-- Sound Quality very poor

Please don't get me wrong.

I am not someone who is too lazy to get through all the Roms and read myself into it. :angel:

But I think that I might be missing out on something or just overlooking an option, like a kitchen for the HTC One or so :confused:

Thanks in advance :good: :)

All the best.
