AOSP roms and GPS - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Has anyone found an AOSP based rom where the GPS works as good as it does on sense? At this point that's the only thing that's keeping me from making the switch.

Thanks. I'll try that out and report back!

You can also get a GPS lock by flashing sense and get a lock then flash some aosp

Vanir, Liquid, CM, I personally find them all to have basically the same issues/flaws/success'
so whatever is going on in one ROM is usually going on in the others.
GPS works find on all like mentioned as long as you get a Sense GPS lock first then you are set.

In connection with the HTC One (non-M8) I remember reading that after flashing an AOSP-based ROM, GPS was still finicky after returning to a Sense ROM. The above suggests this is not the case.
Also, what do you mean getting a Sense GPS lock then flashing? Does this mean that if you've used navigation at least one time prior to flashing an AOSP-based ROM, you're fine? I can't imagine that's the case or else there would be far fewer problems than I see noted. Everyone uses their GPS at least once before flashing, except for the hardcore who unbox the phone and then immediately flash!

GPS can be a bit flaky on HTC phones that have flashed AOSP for years now. Your best bet is get a full GPS lock in Maps, reboot into Recovery and then flash your AOSP Rom. I have also had good luck with various GPS apps that let you flush the AGPS data. Now GPS seems to always work better on Sense Roms

Good idea unless you want to use your camera. Solid ROM but it basically locks up my phone for 3-5 minutes when I even try to take a picture. Have tried 3rd party camera apps as well. No issues with GPS/WiFi and while data shows "roaming" it really is not roaming. The newest update based on 4.4.3 is sweet but I need a functioning camera.

This sounds like some weird voodoo to me, yet totally believable since I've seen enough things work when they shouldn't that I recognise the weird solutions are usually the stuff worth trying.
That said, how does it work? Wouldn't any values saved when you grabbed a GPS fix in Sense be lost when you wipe System etc?
Confused...

Edit: Think I understand now the logic - you do your ROM, then Nandroid back to Sense, lock the GPS, then Nandroid back to AOSP. That said, I still don't get how this magic works.

Now I have to eat my words. Since the Camera fix the 4.4.3 GPE has been rock solid for me. No Wifi issues, no issues with speaker phone, really smooth. Still a cosmetic issue of the phone showing in Roaming even though it's not. There is a modified systemUI.apk that shows "LTE" as well.
GPE for VZ is really getting there. Xposed working well and Gravity box has everything working that I use.

How different is GPE from just overlaying Nova or Apex over Sense?

To me a lot different. It's as close to a "pure Google" experience as you can get. While Sense 6 is better, it still an add-on on the base Kit Kat OS that brings overhead with it and a lot of forced applications you may not want/need.
With Xposed and a few modules, you can customize the way you want but still keep the overhead of the operating system at a minimum. It's not for everyone. If you want all customization's built into a single ROM, GPE is not for you.
And I never used the built in Blinkfeed launcher. From day 1 I used Apex. It has been my launcher for well over 3 years. Sense is a lot more than just the launcher.

[ROM][25.May]UTB ROM 2.0 - As clean as can be

NEW VERSION IN TEST PHASE - COMING SOON
UTB-ROM for the HTC One S gives you a clean, no fuzz, CM9/AOSP based ROM.
Version 2.0 marks the start of the future. As we anxiously await the kernel drivers from HTC, talented developers are making good progress on getting AOSP running smoothly. While there are still some issues floating about, its time to start building the base for the new ROM.
Description
You have two options. v1.0.6 gives you an AOSP-like experience but with the comfort of the original stock HTC ROM as base. Most things work as expected. However, if you enjoy living on the bleeding edge, version 2.0 gives you an CM9 based ROM which will get some bleeding edge extras along the way. Version 2.0 is still very early in development and is currently pretty identical to a stock CM9 ROM, but I wanted to give a taste of what is coming.
Highlighted Features v2.0
CM9-base
Google Play Music
OLED-Optimized ICS Boot animation (true black levels)
Latest Google apps included for your convenience
Note that this is just an introductory release. It is plagued by the same bugs as the other AOSP/CM9 based ROM's are. But we are making good progress and soon we will get all bugs figured out, Im certain!
Highlighted Features v1.0.6
Stock Android apps (Trebuchet launcher, Android Messaging app, Android Contacts, etc, compiled from source)
Stock Android ICS notification bar
Most of the included HTC apps are long gone
Based on the new 1.64.997.1 kernel
Zipaligned
Just feels good!
Changelog
v1.0.6
Picasaweb added (syncing works, uploading is still an issue.. maybe because of this)
ICS Live Wallpapers
Updated Gallery app (Now shows your online photos)
1.0.5
Removed CruiserPwrExpert - A ridiculous logging tool from HTC that does nothing but drain your battery.
Removed the HTC Gallery
Removed HTC Music
Added AOSP Email and Exchange
Added Google Play Music
Added AOSP Gallery
Known Issues v1.0.6
Unlock required before answering call (Hard to fix as its a compatibility issue with Sense)
The HTC Camera is for some reason not willing to open the ICS Gallery for previews.
NOTE: If you are coming from a different base ROM than the one you are flashing, a full data wipe is encouraged and recommended.
DOWNLOADS
v2.0 RC1
v1.0.6
Be honest your ideas a good one.sense stripped away..add some tweaks change some GUI for image sake..I'm already running a stripped down rom..novas running.only thing that looks different are the menus.
Looking forward to your rom matw

Yeah, I left the stock HTC camera app and gallery app. The reason for this is the unique features of the ImageSense chip which I didnt quite get to work with the stock camera app.
HTC's settings are also still in as well as the HTC Music app, but I might be removing that in the next version. Unfortunately, until we get AOSP running on the One S, it will be difficult to escape HTC's customized stuff completely. But I am trying to get as close as I can without breaking anything.
In terms of bugs, I am still trying to resolve answering calls without having to unlock the screen. Apart from that, I havent found any other serious issues yet.
Feedback is most welcome though. Ive just made a ROM to satisfy my desires and needs

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know the foundation is stable and solid.
Is there an easy way to change the behaviour of the app switch button in here? I'd find it more useful to switch between apps than as a menu button.
Hmm haven't thought about it. Just made more sense to have a menu button. If you long-click the home button you get the app switcher though

Problem is that when you don't assign menu to one of the buttons you get the onscreen menu button back...

The on-screen button doesn't really bother me. At least it tips you off that there are hidden settings in some apps. Over time there should be less need for a menu button anyway. Guess it's just a preference of mine, but very awesome ROM otherwise!
Shame there's no live wallpapers though.

Is everyone experiencing better battery life with this ROM? Also, what is the issue exactly with screen unlock? When you update the ROM, will we have to wipe? Do you know how long before answering calls bug is resolved? I happen to enjoy this version of Sense versus the older ones but I'm all for trying a "lighter" version of the OS.

To be honest, I didnt really use my device much before I flashed it, so its hard to answer the question of battery life with any certain degree of accuracy. But battery life is great for me and Im sure the new kernel doesnt do it harm either.
The screen unlock issue isnt really an issue, but more a HTC - Android AOSP incompatibility problem. When an incoming call occurs while the phone is locked, you have to unlock the screen first before being able to click the answer-button.
Hello..
very great rom.. i'd like to know if there is a battery mod for this rom!
Thanks

System settings change on reset

Has anyone else found system settings changing after turning the phone off and on again?
The main one I tend to notice is the "keep screen on when charging" checkbox but I'm sure there are others.
I'm running the completely stock telstra ROM, not even rooted (I'm waiting for a perfect CM10/AOKP).
Any thoughts?
Cm10 wallpaper settings doesn't stick for me. It changes after reboot but other than that everything else works just fine. I know cm10 and aokp aren't perfect right now but they are stable enough for daily usage. Man I hate sense too much that I rather have an half ass nonsense ROM.

I'm not far off that point trust me. What's the memory management like? Is it the same as on say a Galaxy Nexus or still a bit worse?

Keep switching back to more stable touchwiz roms from CM!

Is anyone else having this problem? As much as I love CM10.1 and etc., I keep finding myself going back to say CleanRom. Does anyone have perfect stability on a 10.1 rom? I lose data, then get that fixed. Then I lose GPS. Just a hassle!

I find that TW roms are more stable, and after going from beans b7 to cm10.1 I find cm boring and lacking in many software areas. However, it is still a great ROM just a matter of personal preference

I've been on aosp pretty much from day 1 and don't ever see myself going back. Sure some of the betas and alphas had issues, but I've been on aokp milestone 1 and have 0 issues!! Everything works, and I get over 4 hours of screen time per charge.
Not too mention the unbelievable amount of tweaks that an aosp ROM allows you!!
The only thing I miss is the TW camera, not that the aosp is bad.

If I can find a tw rom that allows me to hear blue tooth phone audio while using the headphone jack for auxiliary media playback, I'd be all over it. I can't understand for the life of me why Samsung is the only manufacturer who can't get this right. It's idiotic and a safety hazard when try to answer phone while driving!

Is there a milestone of 4.2.1 from Aokp? I'm on a linario build of cm10 and I must say its really nice. Everything works and the battery is insane. The other day I was at 45% and had 16+ hours. I was not getting that good on any TW ROMs.

I'm just the opposite. I'll try out a TW ROM, here and there, but I always end up going back to Baked BlackBean. I have had no issues regarding data, or GPS, with Baked.
There is a milestone for cm10. The 4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. I have been running cm10 m1 for weeks and everything works perfectly. Like I said 4+ hours of screen time plus all the customizations make it too hard to go back to anything TW based.

Not trying to be a jerk but when people say everything works perfectly and I go into said ROMs thread only to find bugs it annoys me. Can we please work on stating that "it works perfectly for my needs". Right in the first post it points out to possible issues with GPS, call volume, music players, tethering and bluetooth.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you said it yourself "possible issues" it doesn't mean that everyone will have issues. We all know that ROMs behave differently on different phones. What I stated was accurate. CM10 M1 works on my phone with no issues. GPS, call volume, music player tethering and Bluetooth all work with no issues.
sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
Same with me. CM10.1 is great, but if I need to use my phone in an emergency, I want to know I have a phone to rely on. And tethering doesn't work (At least I think it doesn't work).
no issues with cm10.1 on vzw gs3 but..
I have a rooted vzw gs3 which i ran the stock tw root with 4.2 for awhile, and then switched to cm10.1 and i haven't lost any of the features, but my question is how do we move apps 2 sd in that rom? i have looked and poured over the forums and have found that the devs fixed that , but no guide on how to do it? can anyone help me ?:cyclops:
samsung gs3 rooted running cm10.1
galaxy tab 7.7 rooted with tw for now
retired - original droid, droid x, droid inc, galaxy skyrocket, motorola xoom, galaxy tab 1, and forever rip, ipad and iphone 4s (apple bites!)
I'm sticking to CM10 for now. The 10.1 builds have too many bugs for me. As for right now, I'm pretty happy with CM10.

I may be lucky but I haven't experienced much of the problems people claim in CM10.1. I doubt I'll ever look back at TouchWiz-based roms.
Personally, I've never used CM on any of my devices, I've always used others. For instance, I ran stock unrooted Touchwiz on my S3 for a couple months, then I switched to Liquidsmooth, I had that as my daily driver for at least 6 weeks, but the FC's and data dropouts were too much to bear so I went looking for another ROM, I installed Mean Lean Jellybean Machine Build 4 and loved it, so once Build 5 came out I switched to that, and have been on it ever since! I think I'll be staying on this ROM for awhile.

TouchWiz is actually an awesome oem skin for Android. It gets unfairly attacked because people think AOSP/CM must be better.
My personal experience: after rooting never used cm10.1 went straight to finding a good rom. Used executioner 2.5 liked the feel, speed, and battery life. Felt very stable. Tried cleanrom but started experiencing some bugs, switched quickly. Currently im running superchargedwiz rom kyjelly and it seems very stable i closely compare it to executioner 2.5 although im not getting the same battery life as i was getting on executioner but supercharged is very smooth. If i can figure out ktweakers kernal that came with supercharged, i know its possible to tweak it just right to get the right battery settings. My suggestion if your looking for a good rom to play with try one of these 2.

CM10.1 as a daily driver. Who is pulling this off?

I want to use CM10.1 as a daily driver, but all of the bugs and small nicks make me go back to more developed and stable TW roms. Anyone using 10.1 as a daily? Can you give me your opinions on it? Which rom are you using? What bugs do you notice?
Thank you
996
The in call volume has been fixed for me so I'm going to run it as a daily driver from now on.
Bluetooth audio is still completely broken I hear but it's not something I depend on or use without going out of my way.
Unless some other huge bug manifests, all is going pretty well.
So far there are two main issues that make me consider going back to TW:
1. Sometimes when I interrupt a game from loading, the entire system is laggy as hell until I reboot
2. There is a small delay when answering the phone. I don't know who can hear who during that delay, but its annoying nonetheless.
I'm waiting for the stretched image bug to be fixed on multi-window ROMs before I go back to TW though. It's definitely daily driver worthy.

Been daily on mine since the unofficial cm10 back in August, fine here but maybe I just can't stand TW. Only little issue Ive come across that bothers me is sometimes it will think a short press on menu/home is a long press and have to reboot. Bluetooth audio is fine if you go into the build.prop and modify lpa.decode to false

Been using as daily driver since unofficial cm10, lost IMEI and had some pretty good scares but I have been loving it ever since. I would say the only issue for me right now is the screen flickering which can be somewhat fixed by disabling HW overlay, which does not seem to stick through a reboot.
thank you all for the replies. I was running CM10 for a while, but I just resorted back to TW. I can't wait until all the nicks and bugs get sifted out of 10.1. Pure Google is the way to go.

if you are going to "wait for all the nicks and bugs get sifted out", you might always have a wait. Custom ROMs are just that, custom, and sometimes, what works for one phone won't work for another.
Just pick one that you like the features, and learn work arounds or ignore the "nicks and bugs"
Thanks to all the DEVs! I love waving my modded S3 under everyone running stock and asking why their phones can't do what mine does!

Mastamoon in the official 10.1 thread has been putting out some rocking unofficial builds that contain cherry picks for most of the issues that have annoyed me. I really suggest checking out his 1/4 build (I'm on this) or his latest. He seems to have Bluetooth and call volume issues pretty close to being wrapped up.

I ran liquid's for two weeks or so, but my flashing addiction made me try something else. Went back to AOKP 4.1 but now I'm back on stock TW that I made a few modifications to. I replaced the MMS app and keyboard with AOSP as well as the UI sounds, and I'm fairly content for now. Usually any kind of lags annoys me, but I've found JB Touchwiz to be alright ( I was an avid HTC user prior. Touchwiz is way smoother than Sense.)

I am running the CM 10.1 Official NIGHTLIES. They have been my daily driver since almost beginning of the month. My custom ringtone only rings once when someone calls, answering calls ends up with a weird delay before anyone can hear you. A couple of other small bugs, but no deal-breakers that I really see.

I love CM, but lately it seems they have too much going on. The barely got 4.1 working, and came out with the M2 release, and then moved on to 4.2, which is CM 10.1. I prefer to stay with a dev that will tweak their ROM and stick with it until they get it right. That's why I will not use CM anymore. Unless they have hundreds of devs working constantly to keep up with the number of devices they support, they're eventually going to become a ROM that's unreliable. I hope I wrong, but with the S3 they're clearly not completing one OS before moving to another, which makes them a no go IMO.
Battery life has been absolutely incredible for me on 10.1. 9 hours on battery all on 4G with 20 min screen on at 80%

Just flashed the DarthStalker ROM onto my S3 I've had for about 2 weeks now, it works beautifully, I've gotta say. Super fast, native WiFi hotspot/USB tethering, I would highly recommend at least checking it out.

[ROM][4.1.2][CM10] BG53's Unofficial CM10 Nightly

Well, this took me almost a full day to figure out, but I'd say it's worth it. I have compiled my first CM10 build, and BOY! It's running nice I'd say it's one of the smoothest ROMs I've ran. So far, I haven't had any flickering or anything on it, the Camera and Gallery works wonders. Bluetooth and Headphones are working, in call, streaming as well. I haven't tried tethering, so I don't know if that works, but I think it would.
I'm planning on maybe developing themes for this, or doing nightlies, if anybody is still interested in CM10. I like it because it is currently more stable than CM10.1.
I hope you guys enjoy this ROM and are able to give me input on how to expand my skill in developing
NEW UPDATE 1/29/13: Not sure if any changes happened. Sound for video recording seems alright in my opinion.

gapps are NOT in the ROM. I used standard 4.1 gapps and they work great. I'll find a link to put in the OP

I got GPS lock in about 4 seconds. Works great. Will do screenshots in OP when I get home (like fifteen minutes).
I stopped using cm10 because I couldn't log into my USAA app... Dunno why but it was a not of a deal breaker when I was trying to check my balance... I mean I could always calland check but it just made me wonder what else want going to work when I needed it...

I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you there. Does USAA have a mobile site?

I don't know I never checked I suppose. I was just throwing that out there to see if anyone had any input on it... I am so ready to come back to aosp lol

Well USAA has a Mobile site. I tend to like mobile bank sites better than the app counterparts. Wells Fargo always acted up on the Razr and TBolt, no matter if stock, AOSP, whatever. so I used the site more often. So just know there is an alternative to sticking to stock because of the app...
OP Updated with WORKING NFC Fix!
Is there any way to include a folder system in the app drawer instead of just on the home screen?

Keyboard FCs after flash making the ROM useless.

How's the video recording volume on this rom? I'm at work and can't test. I know it's been a recurring problem on CM10.

Want to flash this but wondering if this problem is one that everyone is having? This is the only mention of keyboard issue I've seen so far in this thread. Can anyone confirm keyboard is working ?

Mine works fine. In fact, I flashed the 4.2 keyboard because it's better.
I had one instance where the keyboard FCed, that happened when I tested a dirty flash. either reflash or wipe and reflash, and it should work fine. I haven't tried video recording on the ROM, but I'm going to compile a new one in a little bit, so I'll post that in a little while.

Well in case you're wondering, recording is fantastic. Very close to the volume of TW. This ROM has everything working. Also, got some nice screens of battery if anyone wants info about it.
Keep in mind my battery started at 71% when I first flashed this ROM. I can imagine a full battery would yield even better results.
