I'd like to stay mostly stock but there a few small feautures I miss from prior devices ROMs.
Most of the ROMs I have looked at on here are pretty far from stock.
Are there any that are close to stock?

I was running a stock rom with just xposed and gravity box for quite some time. It gives you ability to make a lot or just a little enhancements. It might be just what you need.
Another vote for stock plus xposed framework. Everything you want and nothing you don't
Sent from my Nexus 5
I agree. I am running Cataclysm which is very close to stock. Might be one to check out if you want a new ROM. But xposed with gravity box gave me pretty much all the same features that I used from cataclysm.
Might be better to post this in the Q&A section next time.
But yeah Xposed framework might help you out.

+1 for Xposed AND +1 for Cataclysm ROM.
Used and enjoyed both, stuck with Cata personally for the SmartRadio feature the Author includes :3. Art compatibility is nice too.
Thanks everyone!!
I am currently looking into both options.
Did some googling and didn't find much on SmartRadio, could you clue me in?

It's basically some logic built into the rom to control your 2g/3g/4g and Wifi connections. Automatically disable, enable, that sort of thing. You can do the same with apps, Tasker, scripts, probably Xposed too.

purity comes in a close second
Is there any way to put in the stock rom the nav bar ring that comes with some roms that allows you to make a screenshot with a swipe up, just like going to Google now with the swipe up.
CM has this, but I don't see any option for this with xposed.
Is it possible to install gravity box on stock, rooted 4.4.2 ?

Yes of course. Download the Xposed Installer app first and within that download and install the framework for it, then download the GravityBox KK module, enable it in Xposed and reboot. Wanam module is also good for minor tweaks and changes. AppOpsXposed module will allow you to change individual apps' permissions like not allowing twitter to use location for example.
Cataclysm.

+1 on this. I just saw another thread related to this request
OP, go stock, xposed, gravity box and franco kernel. Will satisfy your tinkering needs and will give you stability as well.

I decided to try out Cataclysm and Franco kernel! Cata seems close enough to what stock+exposed would be anyhow.
Did mess around with Xposed and found a cool YouTube ad blocker thing that I will def use so thanks for the heads upl.
Cataclysm and Chaos kernel!

I'm hoping to find a few ppl that are still running stock ICS. I recently flashed numa, which I love the rom but there are a couple of things of like back the way they were. I liked the stock email client, the stock swype keyboard, and last but not least i like the gallery app from stock cause it had that built in editor. If anyone could help me out with these apps I would be indebted to you.

Just FYI, that will probably not work as NUMA is a deodexed ROM and the apps you're requesting are odexed. Of course, depending on how badly you want them, there are many ways and threads/tutorials on how to deodex that you could check out.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
Thanks for the heads up on that one.

I've been running stock for a long time, and I found the Xposed framework which lets you add modules and tweak your phone like mad, you just have to have some modules. The cool thing is it runs the background on stock ICS, and if there is a problem all you have to do is disable the framework, no having to flash backups and whatnot. I've been working on a theme for stock ICS to get that CM10 style theming going on, and it's coming along pretty nicely. It uses the Xtheme module to do the work. I'll post some links and maybe you all might find some other things that you like and all that.

I guess this device is dead not one person posted a single stock apk and this thread is a year old. wow. shouldn't have bought this legacy device kinda still thought it was useful. can't find stock messaging app anywhere or launcher

Hi!
I'm using xposed, added the Sense 5 Toolbox (2.1.1), has some great mods to customise the UI to your liking - haven't had any issues at all....
If anybody hasn't checked out Power Toggles, do it! Really handy for adding a toggle bar to the notification drop down, save using quick settings....

First time flasher here! I've just completed the install of tr1gg3r84's ONE-HYBRID and CWM
Since the rom didn't come with Xposed, I will try to install it on top of it. Will follow the instructions from here: Xposed original thread and then the HTC specific instructions.
Will report my progress

No, just downloaded and installed the apk. I'm s-off though.
I'm just unlocked and rooted, no S-OFF. Only installed the APK and I have no issues with the Xposed uninstalling upon reboot. I have rebooted like three times now and it's still install.
I can confirm. Xposed is working as intended
No luck with the HKThemeManager though. But I'm not surprised since it seems to be intended for AOSP based roms.
I've been using it since I flashed the Hybrid rom, works great.
it works in CM11 also. (FYI)
XPosed Modules that i use in my One Mini
I am using Stock ROM Kitkat 4.4.2, Sense 5.5. XPosed Modules that i use and working are:
- Sense Toolbox
- XuiMod (Awesome animation)
- Unicon (If you want to use icon pack, not free though)
- Ice Cube (Part of Mikanoshi's Ice Cave Sound Mod)
- Bootmanager
- Gravitybox (Well not all feature, Extended Desktop and Custom Navigation Ring target worked with a little trick, but that's all i need from gravitybox)
Sense toolbox is really useful, I now prefer sense to aosp roms

s-on, Android 4.4 with Sense6 (stock, rooted, xposed installed).
Sense6Toolbox installed.
The only tweaks I do are 'flashlight when holding the power button' and using the volume buttons for the camera.
Then I disable Blinkfeed,
and use root and TitaniumBackup to freeze a whole bunch of bloatware I don't want (google+, facebook, twitter, instagram, htc stocks, etc..).
And I don't think I'll ever feel the need to go without Sense now. Since it's now just a basic launcher it works fine, maybe even better than the modern Google Now launcher.
So yeah, xposed seems to work fine. Since I'm s-on and had a stock kernel it couldn't write itself to /system, to it created a flashable .zip to do so from recovery. This flashed (and worked) fine, you just have to pay attention where it is the file is stored on your internal storage (had to look a bit ).
i have been using xposed framework and i wonder what if i just keep my phone rooted and stock and just install framework and tweak it the way i want about lock screen , navigation bar etc, what extra advantage these roms will give me , just asking
Only thing i can think of is the kernel, everything else can pretty much be done with xposed.

Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.
I have been running Paranoid Android 5.0.2 and keep having battery life issues. I have trimmed my apps down and even re-enabled the SystemUpdateService for the Google Play Framework which doesn't help. The service also keeps automatically being disabled. Another issue I have is lack of xPrivacy on this version in addition to various OS 'quirks'.
What is the recommended 5.1 ROM for this device that does work with the newer versions of xPosed/xPrivacy?

AFAIK all ROMs work with Xposed except TeamEOS (bootloop) and Temasek (you need a modified version of Xposed). Xprivacy works well now on 5.1.

Is there a recommended ROm that does not add much bloat to the stock OS? That is why I chose Paranoid to start with. It is not stock but yet doesn't add a bunch of unnessesary things.

Let the users make their own decisions. Cataclysm is closed source and will never include themes. 2 points for which some users won't flash it

While open source is a plus and is preferred I can sacrifice if enough people recommend it.
I cannot seem to find screenshots of either OptiPop or Terminus.

Try by yourself. Screenshots are useless as long as you know what are the main features. You can apply layers or themes (ROM related) if you want custom UIs.

Completely agree. This is absolutely as bone close to stock as you can get basically. Can't even disable hardware keys without build.prop hacks, and doesn't even come rooted. Almost nothing is taken from anything but AOSP except CAF improvements for speed, and battery in the background. Have this as my backup ROM right now to prep for android M roms in their bone stock glory till we get some real modding done to them. Used it for a bit, buttery smooth, seriously amazing battery, and would recommend to ANYONE wanting rock solid AOSP.
