[One (M8) General] Galaxysm:
You just made me change to AOSP.
[One (M8) General] _moelle:
I think he talks about a custom irs...its like a own profile for viper, fitting the viper engine in a special way, to let it sound especially like some "well known products" ...so you can probably use an irs what is based on the equalizers of the original sense soundengine. - even there are some which should sound like sony clearaudio+ and so on....of course it even could be a pretty normal setting like "more bass" or "treble" ....

in short words its like an equalizer for the whole vipersettings to get influenced in a special way. - but its not the same like the original sense or the original clearaudio+ or what ever. - it can push the sound really near to the original (if the irs profile is perfectly created) but its defenitly not the real same soundquality. ( at least in my opinion )
[One (M8) General] Vondis:
Is speakerphone fixed or close to being fixed on AOSP Roms I've seen no talk of it in a while? This is the only thing keeping me on GPE. I need speakerphone to work
[One (M8) General] PunishedSnake:
Gpe definitely

Went back to stock sense for WiFi calling and volte
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
Does anyone notice static whenever sounds like text messages or unlocking phone on AOSP? Seems like the files they use are not high quality.
[One (M8) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
I switch between a GPE rom and Sense rom week after week. I love AOSP because it's so many xposed tweaks and mods you can install to customize your phone look.

I switch back to Sense for blinkfeed and the camera tweaks. I switch using nandroids so I don't have to keep setting up everything over n over again.
[One (M8) General] dannejanne:
I have the same dilemma at the moment. AOSP with ART or dalvik +Xposed. Switching between two setups now trying to decide. With ART it is incredibly smooth. But the customisability with Xposed is wonderful too. If it wasn't for the notification Xposed module shown below I would go with ART right away.

[One (M8) General] fredrick1213:
Do you have the option to keep stock status bar and only have the notification panel customized?

Also, I desperately want to run ART, but I need the Greenify experimental features that can only run with Xposed :/
[One (M8) General] dannejanne:
The option is there to keep stock status bar yes. But if I disable the modules status bar the custom color for the blurred background does not work for me so I have it enabled for that purpose.

Yeah I know. The ART vs. Dalvik/Xposed issue is a big one. ART runs fantastically smooth. While the customisations from Xposed are fantastic too. Right now I can't give up this notification blur mod.
[One (M8) General] Travisimo:
The good news is that we have a lot to look forward to when Android L releases this fall because ART will be even faster, along with other optimizations and the new look. And if everything falls into place, perhaps we'll even get a new version of Xposed. :)
[One (M8) General] crazyjimbo:
I REALLY want to try PA and CM11, even Vanir, but I don't want to lose certain features, like the dot view and Ufocus. Ever since HTC started letting you adjust the amount of blur I've been using it a LOT. Mostly I want a stockish Android experience with the GPE features still intact, but with the CM theme engine and some mods haha.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
I agree completely with Travismo. Love the M8 GPE a ton more than the Nexus 5, and I'd have to say it's the best Android phone I've ever used. Sure, I'd like it better with out the extra bezel, but it doesn't really matter much to me anymore.

Also, I find the ability to add bokeh effects to the camera are really fun, and you can pull of some astonishing shots at night (even with no other added effects, like these :D)
[One (M8) General] NextNexus:
Interesting b/c I've found the exact opposite with Dalvik vs. ART. I converted my AT&T M8 to a GPE and used it with Dalvik runtime for a couple of weeks with good results. I had used a Nexus 5 on ART and it was great so I tried switching my M8 to ART. First few days were fine but then the phone started having a ton of weird issues. Lots of apps randomly closing, significant lag within apps, and overall just not even close to as stable as Dalvik. I've reverted my M8 GPE back to Dalvik and now everything is fine again. I'm hoping there are improvements made to ART with Android L b/c I don't think it's ready for prime time yet in its current experimental form.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Did you do a full RUU conversion? Were you on 4.4.4? I find it hard to believe that you'd have those issues if the conversion went right, because I haven't heard of anyone having that problem before.
[One (M8) General] NextNexus:
Yep, full RUU conversion and I'm now on 4.4.4. I've found Dalvik to work 100% perfectly and ART to be extremely buggy on this device. I've actually done the conversion two different times and I've had the same problem with ART after a couple of days both times.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Huh. Well try this stock CWM Nandroid for the GPE. It's the untouched boot and system partitions, and somehow flashing it made my call quality improve drastically.

I'd say it's worth a shot!

[One (M8) General] MarkGiardini:
I love the simplicity and stock feel of GPE, but the camera on the Sense 6 is awesome.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Now that AOSP speakerphone is fixed did any of you guys move to AOSP?
[One (M8) General] EternalAndroid:
Nope, still on the GPe conversion.
[One (M8) General] tmorterlaing:
Does anyone know if they've 'fixed' the GPE or AOSP camera when used on M8 yet? (Quality not so good when tested a few months ago).
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
There was one update (4.4.3 IIRC) that made a noticeable improvement, however it still isn't quite as good as Sense.
[One (M8) General] JETacoustic:
Nothing compares to a slightly modified sense Rom. It's a work of art. The viper rom specifically.
[One (M8) General] linezero:
did you move to aosp from sense? :P
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Yes I did
[One (M8) General] linezero:
I just got my m8 since I switched from nexus 5 and its just been a week so far. First thing I did was I installed an aosp rom (crdroid) and thought giving a try on sense. The only added advantage for me on sense was the fancy camera app. As of now I'm actually waiting for an update of crdroid rom. Which rom are you running?
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I'm running cm11 but once crdroid gets updated I'll be going back. I just wish the maintainer for crdroid would do weeklys or our phone would be officially supported.
[One (M8) General] linezero:
weeklys is good. Im actually going through few a few tutorials to learn the whole process of building the rom. Got a high-end PC so it would be kinda cool if I could do it.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Yeah that's cool man, I was trying to build too but its going to be harder because its unofficial. Firebird might be able to help you since he's building crdroid. I think I learned how to do cm11 but I had a little bit of space so the build failed lol. Put it on pause til I get time to mess with the laptop.
[One (M8) General] linezero:
Currently Im downloading the cyanogenmod source right now. I always wanted an opinion from a user who switched from sense to aosp, currently I'm having a hard time deciding on to be what either sense or aosp. I have been a sense user before and the later i joined the nexus users and that keeps me bringing back to aosp but again on the other hand I like sense too. So what made you switch to aosp from sense? :P
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I switched honestly for the themes and speed. I also like sense 6 but I got bored with the plainness, ran stock type ROMs. I would of stuck with viperone but battery was terrible. AOSP has phenomenal standby time, I use cm11 or crdroid.
[One (M8) General] richteralan:
Coming from a Nexus 4, I think Sense 6 is THE BEST manufacturer skin I have tried (tried Xperience, Touchwiz, Optimus UI, and of course AOSP)

Nexus 4 offers unparalleled customization possibilities, no argue about that. But if I want something that's kinda hassle free, and has everything without the need to download additional APKs, Sense would be my choice for now.

Of course, I would love to have much more customization possibilities for Sense, such as a choice of animations, pagination of app drawer, custom lockscreen, etc..etc.. But just from an out-of-the-box point of view, it feels great and works great.

So long answer for the question, If I want AOSP experience, I would buy a Nexus device. If I'm buying a non-Nexus device, I am not looking for AOSP experience.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
True to the poster above but us Verizon folks don't have the opportunity to buy nexus devices so we have to run aosp ROMs on our branded phones
[One (M8) General] clj575:
I have run aosp and sense on my m8....I honestly go back to sense not long after flashing aosp. When I was using other phones I loved aosp...but sense seems to work well for me.
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
When I first got this phone I was a sense guy. Now that Aosp Rom's have matured that's all I run but usually keep a backup of Viper just because. Aosp IMHO has much better battery life
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Yeah I feel that the standby time on AOSP is superior then sense
[One (M8) General] richteralan:
This is exactly the reason I didn't go for Verizon.

Had two numbers/accounts on both T-Mobile and AT&T.
[One (M8) General] ownage96:
After using stock android for 3 years on my Galaxy Nexus and then Nexus 5, I actually liked Sense more after getting an HTC One M8. It just feels much more polished and user friendly. At the moment I prefer Sense, but once Android L gets released ill definitely switch to GPE and try it out. From the pictures and videos I've seen, I think ill like stock Android L more than Sense.
[One (M8) General] CraigP17:
I've used sense most of the time. CM11 for a while. And now GPE. I like alot about all 3.
[One (M8) General] dan-htc-touch:
Tried cm gpe and sense... Sense feels most responsive and gets best battery life.
[One (M8) General] domol:
Does anyone notice a drop in signal strength in GPE vs stock? I did the RUU conversion but seem to have noticeably worst signal strength in all areas.
[One (M8) General] tmorterlaing:
I'm interested in people finding this- I wonder if it's true? Is there anything to support this? I'm asking because on the HTC M8 Sense comes with the auto-power saver and extreme power saver mode, the first of which seems to be the only functional power saving tool I've experienced that DOESNT just cut your data or something that makes your phone useless. So many play store things seem to have to stop you getting emials, for example.

-Again, on the opposite side, has anyone done any god testing on this? Am intrigued to know if Sense 6 is genuinely better on an M8- perhaps it's ONLY better on the M8, because the M8 is optimised or something....

For me (currently on Viper One) the Sense auto power saver modes (which are genuinely good), and the camera which is not only designed better but also apparently actually takes better pictures for some reason....

I think if AOSP roms can either utilise both cameras on the M8 OR the battery life is confirmed to be better on AOSP OR someone can name an app that will provide something similar to power saver(-seriously, is there one?), I'll happily switch over :D
[One (M8) General] benj!:
I've had 3 Nexus devices before getting an M8, so pretty used to stock Android, but like Sense 6 so far. There are certain things I dislike about it, like the lockscreen and the battery stats, but they're not deal breakers. I tried running CM11 on the M8 for a bit, but found I missed the polished feel of Sense, so back on ARHD.

I'll probably switch back when Android L is out. I was running the dev preview on my Nexus 5 and the material design apps that were present, such as dialer and calculator, were far nicer than their Sense equivalents.
[One (M8) General] PunishedSnake:
Gpe

No problems that come with aosp
[One (M8) General] darkintragedy:
Sense only because of the official HTC Camera.
[One (M8) General] tee00max:
Yeah im feeling the same way because I at first had a Sense version M8 then after a few phone switches I ended up back with M8 but this time the GPE and I really dislike the camera. Much rather have the Sense camera than the Google Camera.
[One (M8) General] Guitarfreak26:
I'm nandroiding now so I can try crdroid. What kernel do you aosp guys use?
[One (M8) General] MistaBishi:
I've ended up back on Sense after being GPE for a few months. The camera software is part of the reason, as well as HD voice on my carrier and easy radio updates (needed soon due to LTE700 on my network)
[One (M8) General] mys3:
What is the difference between GPE and an aosp ROM like slim kat?
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
you can read it everywhere dude -.-

the GPE Version is the stock Android with some Framework and apps from HTC/Samsung. it doesnt has all things like sense or touchwiz has. but they are always getting updates faster then sense or touchwiz Rom
[One (M8) General] mys3:
Sorry I should have worded it better, would also on this device specifically, be nearly as stable as the gpe version?

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

My question was the difference between gpe and aosp not sense!
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
Aosp ROMs are rock solid IMHO. I mean flashing nightlies you can encounter a bug or two but for the most part Aosp is on point. Only thing that is a little out of place is speaker is load as **** when listening to music just need a DSP such as V4A to turn the bass down and keep the ringer down 1-2 notches
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
that were the differences.. much like stock android but with OEM Framework and apps...

aosp are build from source by maintainers on the web...GPE by Google and HTC together :P
[One (M8) General] ggreenw:
Anyone know if Google Wallet works on any of the AOSP roms yet?
[One (M8) General] Heisenberg420:
Anyone else get bad signal on aosp? Constantly showing no bars, 20%+ drain from cell standby?
[One (M8) General] djmatt604:
The no bar thing is known. What firmware version/hboot r u on?

Cell standby...what's keeping your phone awake? Get WLD and a battery monitor app. Greenify that sh1te. Use the xposed module that changes interval on Google location services. Lots of stuff you can do to track and eliminate the culprit

[One (M8) General] tkoreaper:
In my opinion it goes Sense > GPE > AOSP

I have a T-Mobile M8 and I've tried going to the more vanilla feel and I keep going back to Sense. I lasted longer on GPE than AOSP, but I just felt like the stability wasn't there... moreso on AOSP. It's the little things that bother me... Everything from GPS to cell service has been noticeably better on Sense.

EDIT: OP Should have included GPE in the poll as it's not the same as AOSP.
[One (M8) General] EternalAndroid:
Agreed.
[One (M8) General] domol:
I compared GPE to a Sense M8 at the T-Mobile store. My GPE was about 2 dbm lower, nothing significant. GPE and AOSP report signal differently. What was 4/5 bars on Sense was 2/4 bars on GPE despite having similar signal strength. My cell standby is usually under 10% though.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I was trying to add gpe to the poll but don't know how to edit the polls lol, if anyone knows how can you tell me and I'll edit the poll
[One (M8) General] dogswind:
I've been a flashaholic with all my past phones, but I can honestly say I haven't even tried AOSP or GPE on the M8. Sense 6 with some tweaks in the form of Xposed modules has been the best experience I've ever had with a phone!
[One (M8) General] sageandonion:
GPE all the way. Got fed up with sense's look and feel. GPE is so smooth and it'll be hello to lemon meringue pie soon too.
[One (M8) General] sweetnsour:

Its butter smooth and the battery life if better.

I love that Sinnless Rom from Team Nocturnal.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Now we have MIUI too, should I add to the list or keep it like this since its based on GPE/AOSP?
[One (M8) General] jonny68:
Sense 6 definitely I'm a fan of both ASAP and GPE but sense is so refined and polished that I'm unwilling to change from it.
[One (M8) General] chrispy_212:
This is tricky! I was a die-hard AOSP fan with my One X, and ran Cyanogenmod nightlies on it for most of its life. I was really excited at the prospect of GPE, especially GPE roms that didn't require fiddling with radios etc, because I'd get the AOSP feel but with actual stability!

I was pretty suprised to find just how much of what I loved about AOSP was actually down to CyanogenMod's improvements, and that a lot of what I was used to was missing or changed. GravityBox fixed that for the most part.

I must say though, something has me pining for Sense 6 still, which I never thought I'd say! It is an exceptionally well thought out UI/UX
[One (M8) General] :
I thought I had to stick with Sense for the only feature I care about.... Dt2W. But on an aosp rom now... And guess what? I have Dt2W.

I thought if aosp had this feature, it would be a battery drain, like on the N5...but it isn't. (thought it would only work without drain on the Sense framework)

Some sort of voodoo magic I think. ?
[One (M8) General] mys3:
I ran a gpe rom for a while and now I'm running slimkat. I'm really impressed how smooth and problem free stock android runs on this phone

[One (M8) General] TikiThePug:
I know GPE has this, but AOSP as well? Which ROM are you on?

Is SlimKat stable? I used to have an S4 and tried it on there, but kept getting FCs.
[One (M8) General] Art2Fly:
most stable version of aosp is cyanogenmod. always has been. It's usually the first aosp rom introduced. Personally I'm all about iOS9 or Jelly Bean(2012), however you want to see it.
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
SlimKat is just as stable as CM and has more features and Slim now has lockscreen gestures and they work flawlessly. I haven't even flashed CM and don't plan on it. Slim is where its at.
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
The thing I like about Slim too is they push out weekly builds and not nightlies and they make sure that all the kinks are worked out too the pretty much are all stable releases even the weeklies IMHO they are a great team of devs. CM which pushes out nightlies makes you feel like you have to flash a ROM everyday to be on the latest. As where Slim you flash once a week and just enjoy the rom. Not saying CM is not good I just don't like flashing a ROM everyday cause I feel the need to be on the current build at all times.
[One (M8) General] EternalAndroid:

I agree Slim is indeed a excellent/stable rom. I choose CM just for the theme chooser honestly, love having different themes daily.
[One (M8) General] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I plan on trying that and a lot of other ROM's once MultiROM is successfully ported and released for the M8, for now I can't bother to wipe my main ROM over and over to try new ones lol. Plus I love having 2 things at once. :D
[One (M8) General] dandan2980:
Theme chooser is cool but Slim trds is good enough for my likings and they are starting to add theming options of there own like volume slider and slim recent can be themed to your liking. Slim just does it better than the others slim navbar, slim recent, slim ring targets, slim pie. And the slim lock ring is the nicest one out there
