Some users see Sense as the UI it is and call vanilla stock, since technically that would be right. We've had this mixup before

Wellll I guess thats technically right
But then what would a "stock" rom look like? I mean, most manufacturers put their spin on Android, Samsung uses Touchwiz, HTC uses Sense...

What strapped is saying is that cm7 would be stock in this situation, as it is stripped of all the added UIs of the phone companies. For example: what the Nexus devices are shipped with is technically stock, then the companies add their UIs and make their own versions of stock for their devices.

It's LG UI sadly. I just saw that their ICS is called LG UI 3.0, disappointing but I guess it doesn't matter.

Oddly enough I'm a Sense UI man. But after using Touch Wiz JB for a while. I really like it :what:

You pretty much killed it with the r3chargeDs. What kind of direction are you thinking?
You should try out a sense 3.5 ROM. Would be a sick project since king and others stopped support(that I know of)

I wish when I got bored I had the desire to learn. Haha
We need more well developed AOSP ROMs that aren't completely CM7 based.
Whatever ave you try I'll roll with you dude your roms are bomb......Keep up the good work.
A little bit more tweaking on the EVOlvedAndroid rom. Just to make things a little better. But honestly, this Rom is great. Use this as my daily driver. Good battery life. But I say keep updated this particular Rom. It is worth it to download. Imo

On a side note, the changlog linked in the OP actually has a CM9 changelog. Does this mean we are getting closer to the fabled official CM9 build for our speedy?

What's up Vicodan.
It's nice there are some new nightlies, all the same, I am sad to say, but I will be switching into a Galaxy S II Probably here in the near future if I can... Time to say goodbye to the keyboard as much as I like it!

I am running with Credo Mobile, so they do not have the GS3. :\ I have been having some odder issues with my phone that I may get a replacement for the HTC Evo Shift, and now I am hoping I can get a GS2
uhh
i check this each day to see what changes they added.
no changes since 7/21 but most every day b4 that.
also i read in a blog they might stop cm7 support.
maybe they're about readyto merge it with official cm9.

Paranoid Android is coming to the HTC One!!!

Hey guys!
According to https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/8P9mVptPMF7 PA is coming to our HTC Ones!
I used this rom on my Nexus 4 and I loved it! As I switched to the One due to the lack of LTE on the N4,
I started missing those cool features such as the custom dpi, the pie and most of all Halo! I know there is
P.A.Cman rom, but Halo is not implemented yet..
You guys should definitivly give it a try when it's released. It's simply amazing!
i think there is already a test build in the tmo general section

Ok....NOW I might unlock my phone
Despise and have no use for Halo personally, but I loved PA on my N4. PIE was the best thing ever, only thing that made my N4 tolerable.
That said I don't see myself wanting to use pie now that I have a phone that has buttons again, though I most certainly will give it a whirl.

Same here. It's difficult to get excited about AOSP when Sense (with Xposed dpi mods) is nowadays so damn good.
Still love this on my Nexus 7 but there is no way I'm losing sense on my HTC one... Is too good
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I do love Sense 5 but tbh, I never use the features that it offers over AOSP and I always find that AOSP has WAY more productive features on the custom ROM side then Sense ever will, obviously its opinionated and as I said Sense 5 is awesome! But I prefer AOSP ROM's just due to simple things like Halo or even just the stock messaging app and stuff.

I will definitely use PA & I'm totally exited and will even donate towards its development, but won't participate in the poll as it uses a word I don't like to use in its present context.

I like Sense 5, but the one thing that stops me from using it is that it doesn't support landscape on the desktop. Super aggrivating. The apps that will allow you to force landscape aren't good at all for Sense either.

It means the official release of 4.3 isn't too far away. Hopefully they start deploying it today too :fingers-crossed:
So what are the chances that the 4.3 Google Play Edition adds the functionality we have in 4.2 Sense to remove the black menu bar?
This isn't technically relevant to the One but i read this on twitter

Yeah, the fact that GPE has Beats was why I was hoping. Right now I'm running the Switch ROM but I'd love to just do a full RUU/conversion to Google Play, but the black bar of doom is the one thing that holds me back. If they added the swipe functionality, I'd switch over 100% and go for the GPE otas.
Edit: apparently I was wrong
No it doesn't. Ge still has sense kernel and framework

I was contemplating using said switch also. Just because you have best if both worlds. I'd consider vdoing the ruu conversion just for that ota.
