Hi all, I have had HTC One M8 for a month now and I just love it.
The only thing I would like to know that if I installed a custom rom would my phone function better?
I honestly got sick of installing roms on my old Galaxy S3, and every time I find something that I don't like in that rom or a bug.
Please help me deciding.

Just because you root doesn't mean you need to install a custom rom.
Rooting and keeping stock ROM will allow you to tweak the stock rom to your liking. You can use any number of tools like the Xposed mods, tasker scripts, themers, etc. The possibilities are endless.
I have always rooted and tweaked the stock ROMS until late in the device life when I won't be getting the next version of Android. Then I load a custom ROM.

To me, the biggest advantage of rooting is removing bloatware (apps you don't want.) There's no need to install a custom ROM if you don't want to do so but there are advantages to custom ROMs, several already have much of the bloat removed.
They probably won't make your phone function better.

Very good point, I love how responsive my phone is, and I also like the way the stock rom feels and looks. Now I will consider rooting it.

So is it easy to remove Verizon pre-installed apps if I rooted my phone?

If you are keeping the stock ROM do NOT remove the bloatware if it is a system file. (Most of them are) If you remove them you will not be able to take the OTA updates from your carrier until you restore them. You are better off disabling them or using Titanium Backup to Freeze them. That way they are easily reversed so you can take the OTA update.

titanium back up freeeze/uninstall
I used to crack flash back on my Galaxy Nexus. I had the M8 for about a month before I rooted and S'Offed. I'm hesitant to flash a full custom ROM as of yet because stock plus Xposed is keeping me extremely happy. For me, the Xposed framework and modules is such a great setup because it allows me to pick and choose which tweaks I want.
Was gonna remain stock till I downloaded an xposed mod that messed up my wifi (possibly due to having a feature another xposed module was handling turned on) . Instead of reflashing and adding all the tweaks and flash zip to a stock ROM, I went ahead and flashed cleanrom which is basically debloated with all the tweaks/mods I already previously had and wanted.
Cleanrom plus the xposed modules like sense6 toolbox, gravity box, XSense, etc make staying stock or stock-ish a very glamorous option
Sounds like what you want is some good old fashioned CleanROM :good:

Edit just read the most recent post right after posting this. Oh well. You'll love CleanROM though. Had it for about a month (practically a record for me and roms) and I love it. Gpe is also pretty stable may try that it he future 'cause I heart aosp but other than that I see no reason to use anything but CleanROM

It's because it's a TouchWiz 4.4 thread, not an AOSP 4.4 thread. I want to make sure people don't get confused. But it is the kitkat OTA.
@BadUsername thanks for this thread, I'm currently working on my girlfriend's Galaxy S3 she got so this list is helpful. I have one question, since this isn't my primary device, or rather my device at all...is Towelroot advised to gain root?

Yes, towelroot is simple, safe and very fast to gain root. It is simple as just like you install an app from play store.

Hi, I have a question about my locked bootloader and baseband and what not that I can't find any answers to.
If my Verizon GS3 (SCH I535) is running a 4.3 TW rom on baseband I535VRUCML1, can I Odin back to stock, take the OTA, and then flash superliterom? (which is NE1)
Cause I know this locked bootloader is finicky about basebands. Will my baseband stay on ML1 or is there any way to change to NE1? Or any way at all for me to get 4.4 with as little touchwiz bloat as possible?

That's your only option to get kitkat, and yes that is the correct procedure.
Not sure why you'd want to do that though, you're making your phone more limited by taking the update, and you aren't gaining much in terms of functionality.

Well you take what you can get with this locked bootloader, and there are some apps that only work with 4.4 (google camera, for example), plus bug fixes and some new features /improvements. How's it becoming more limited? (genuinely interested if you have a drawback to flashing 4.4)
Oh and can I change basebands without bricking? You were a little ambiguous.
Thanks for the advice and this thread though :good:

You have a couple good points, but simply compare this thread to this thread, you'll see the difference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50115986
Again if it's not a huge deal to you, then taking the update is fine. Some users report worse battery life on 4.4, but I have no way of verifying users experience. Just remember, once you take 4.4 your rom choice immediately diminishes.
For some reason I can't post links correctly, but check that thread and look at the 4.3 download list.

I updated and rooted to 4.4.2 KK, and really like it (except for some battery drain) and the stock keyboard. I had an old Samsung keyboard zip file (Note 2 or Note 3?) and I flashed one of those to get the numeric row on top, and now my Samsung keyboard keeps force closing. I downloaded and installed the Google Keyboard, but wondered how I can get back to my stock keyboard, or even better, how to get the keyboard I was trying to install. TIA!

The following information is what I have gathered by comparing the ROM's available:
The 3 ROM's choices for locked bootloader NE1 are:
Stock = all Verizon/Samsung Bloat included
PaulPizz = mostly debloated with added torch, tether, ringtones, 5x6 Launcher, AOSP style icons
Superlite = completely debloated, with tether
Specifically, PaulPizz includes the following things which are not in Superlite:
S-Voice, allsharecast, mobile print, swype, secExchange, VPN, talkback, secEmail, samsung hub, photo table, localFOTA, gmail, gmsMaps, easysettings, kies, musicfx, myVerizon, galaxy4, SPG, voice recorder, torch, kies, musicFX, sCloud, and a few other things...

If you guys can send me the framework2.jar and telephony-common.jar and build.prop from the 4.4.2 rom that your wanting to use I can see if I can make a patch the only problem I believe is that the newer the international 4.4.2 builds got the more kernel dependent they were. but I can put one together and you can try it. I am without high speed internet for a few more days so in order for me to download one of the International roms to pull those files would take my like 12 hrs only have crappy 3g service on the phone right now.

After Echoe stating they would not support S9's, one of the developers bought one - and an Echoe deodexed TW has appeared. Following that, Ael custom kernels also did. The first odexed ROM came out July 3, and now is in deodexed 3rd version, as is the kernel.
Over here, we have some good stock only based TW (aka Samsung Experience) ROMs, but the only one (RENOVATE ICE) is not currently supported. But this one is being aggressively developed, with more modifications to come. It is currently based on BRF8.
It instructs doing a pretty complete wipe, but as I was on an XDA BRF8, I only wiped system and caches and then flashed it - came right up. So far, I have not had any occasional reboots (which I had on the other ROMs I had tried and were using).
So if you want to try something different - go to their website and check it out. You have to be a member to access it, but for $10 - its worth it.

It is a custom rom based on latest Samsung update, but it is deodexed, so allows it to have many mods.

im actually quite familiar with the custom roms world (owned OP3 before) so i just wanned to know if it worth the hassle of unlocking the BL and rooting.

After Echoe stating they would not support S9's, one of the developers bought one - and an Echoe deodexed TW has appeared. Following that, Ael custom kernels also did. The first odexed ROM came out July 3, and now is in deodexed 3rd version, as is the kernel.
Over here, we have some good stock only based TW (aka Samsung Experience) ROMs, but the only one (RENOVATE ICE) is not currently supported. But this one is being aggressively developed, with more modifications to come. It is currently based on BRF8.
It instructs doing a pretty complete wipe, but as I was on an XDA BRF8, I only wiped system and caches and then flashed it - came right up. So far, I have not had any occasional reboots (which I had on the other ROMs I had tried and were using).
So if you want to try something different - go to their website and check it out. You have to be a member to access it, but for $10 - its worth it.
For Echoe haters - forgetaboutit.

This is so well and good but jfyi there are tons of custom roms that work great on the s9/s9+. Just most development is going on in the treble area where it benefits everyone

There are no real "custom" Oreo Roms (except the ones I mentioned) but yes - there are several modded STOCK roms.

Aren't many of those Oreo based as well, or what do you mean?
EDIT
Also apparently the page for the ROM is restricted so as new forum users we can't access it.

You have to join and access as a member.
The ROMs base on OREO on the S9 are mostly stock with some mods.

Lol - didn't look closely - thought it was you being blocked.
Have you been able to access the s9 rom ?
