In order to get the best quality of the "Ultra Pixel" camera in the M8 does one need to be running the stock ROM from Verizon? Do any of the ROMs available have the software/driver/app to make use of the camera to it's fullest extent (or at least as well as the stock ROM does)?
I really like the CyanogenMod v12.1. It is fast and stable. The camera however, seems a bit underwhelming. Would be great if there was a way to add in the HTC app/drivers for the camera to other ROMs such as CM.

1.Sense camera is the best one for photography.
2.No.You can't use sense camera on AOSP,CM based ROM.
3.But you can have pure stock + sense camera if you flash a GPE ROM since there is a sense camera port for it.
You can find them Digitalhigh GPE & Stock Rooted 5.1 GPE LMY47O.H6

With my Sensation being my main phone, I can't really flash between tons of ROMs... from my experience with CM7 on the mt4G, AOSP camera was awful in comparison to Sense. Right now I'm running a CM9 kang, and camera performance is already awesome which leads me to think it can be even better. What ROM do you nice people suggest for an awesome camera? It can be GB or ICS.
I'm used to running alternate firmware on my Android phones, and with Jelly Bean so much more likely to occur as a custom ROM before HTC release an OTA in Australia, well, I'm looking to do it again.
The one downside is that it looks most ROMs use the default ICS camera app, which I'm sure is fine and all, but doesn't seem like it would take advantage of all the features the default HTC One camera app offers. The slow-mo video, power to take pictures while recording, burst/best shot mode etc.
So I gotta know, is the One X camera app available an APK? Are there any Senseless ROMs that include it? Is this likely to be the case for Jelly Bean?
And while we're at it, the Notes application isn't bad either.
Nope. Unfortunately. Sense-less roms lack exactly what the sense camera needs: sense framework. For a near non-sense experience with sense camera you can try cleanrom developers edition.

I heard the International one x miui team are trying to port the camera if they do then we could pretty easily I would think, just something to look forward to.

I am not a fan of touchwiz except in one certain area....the camera.
I just game to the GS3 from the Galaxy Nexus. I am excited to have a much better camera, however if I flash a stock ROM I am afraid I will lose some quality. Is it noticeable? I assume porting the GS3 camera to an AOSP rom is a no-go...lots of dependancies and whatnot I expect.
Thoughts on TW 4.1.2 ROMs vs AOSP 4.2.2 ROMS?
You shouldn't lose any quality by flashing a stock ROM because it uses the same camera app. And you're right about the TW camera, it's pretty darn good compared to the AOSP one.
Hey guys, why is the camera better on Sense roms better than the non-sense roms such as CM or AOSP etc?
I think this applies to the HTC One X as well, somehow the camera (and battery life) is just better. Is it because of the different kernels they use? Or is there more to it? Like, it doesn't seem like any of the non-Sense custom roms have the same camera quality as the Sense roms do.....

It has to do with the drivers I believe. In general, stock will be better. Not to say someone couldn't make a similar or even better. Just generally speaking.
Has anyone tried running both Sense and the GPE ROM for any length of time? Any deal breakers with the GPE ROM. I have read through most of the forum over there, but I'm not allowed to post in development forums so I wanted to see if anyone could provide any feedback on the GPE ROM. I used to have the Thunderbolt but grew sour of Sense after a while. Now I'm pretty much over any manufacturer UIs like Blur, TouchWiz, Sense, etc. I'm looking for the pure android experience I get with my Nexus 7, but Nexus isn't available on Verizon so a GPE version of the HTC One M8 seems like about the best thing to try. Any thoughts on how this ROM works?

GPE is essentially pure AOSP. just comes with google apps etc. I personally love it, I just came over from the galaxy s4 a few days ago where I was running the GPE rom there and it was my favorite rom ive ever ran on any phone. I haven't used sense in so long im enjoying it right now, still running stock rooted s-off with xposed, but when I do start roming ill prolly just go straight to GPE.
I'll stick with sense IMO, many more features, very fast , and unparalleled functionality.

I've used the GPE rom for a few days and the sense based roms as well. In my experience it seems the GPE needs a custom kernel because there are a few things not working properly, the camera for example, and the overall experience is sluggish compared to the sense based roms. Stick with anything sense based right now, run a different launcher, and use xposed, that combo is killer and you get all the speed you can handle. Give the GPE a few more weeks and it'll probably be in full working order, at which time I'll definitely be going to it. So nice having a clean rom that was explicitly made for this phone from the manufacturer.
GPE isnt as good as some ASOP roms IMO. I typically run SlimKat, but there are many more out there.
