I just finally installed my first custom TW rom. MOAR. But was looking to try another. Maybe I'll give project a run.
The app may force close once in awhile but don't worry about it. It's just one of those things. I haven't had mine force close in ages. 
Please give Wicked Sensations a try. It truly is an awesome ROM. Also, if you like green and purple, give the GURPLE theme a try. It's my favorite. The ROM also has 5 or 6 more themes available for it.
I want to go ahead and give you a little heads up on the MyHub app.
When using MyHub, make sure you use the icon located in the app drawer. The 1st thing you will need to do after entering a screen name is to tap the settings on your phone to bring up the the MyHub settings. You will need to select your recovery. If you're running Philz then select CWM. The only benefit of running TWRP with this ROM is that it allows the majority of the mods in MyHub to be flashed directly from the app. Running Philz or CWM will require you to download the mod and then boot into recovery, navigate to the MyHub folder, locate your mod, theme, or whatever you downloaded. Once you've done that, you flash it. It's very easy and the amount of mods, themes, and Widgets is impressive.
The is also a version of the newest dkp kernel with the Wicked Sensations flash screen added. It can be found in the ROM thread. Its what I use and it runs great.
If you have any questions about the ROM, please don't hesitate to ask. I love this ROM and know it well. I'll be happy to answer or try and answer any questions you may have concerning it. :thumbup:
One last thing. You will need to flash the MK3 modem for this ROM or you won't have any data. There are excellent installation instructions in the OP.
:thumbup:
Thanks Cwhatever. I had heard that the MK5 modem would work but I've been using the MK3 modem since it's what the instructions call for. I have also had good cell reception with MK3. I may just give MK5 a try just to see if there is any noticeable difference.
As always bro, thanks for your great information.
Heck, I'm gonna flash MK5 right now and give it a try. Hahahaha, you know me bro, I'm always up for seeing if better signal is available. Off to flash me a new modem!
Edit: just flashed the MK5 modem and it's working perfectly. My signal actually seems to be the same. Did a speed test and it was about average. I'll stay on MK5 for a few days and see how it does in my area. Hopefully it will be better than MK3.
Thanks for clearing that up. I just assumed (I know what happens lol) that the MK3 was a previous version and MK5 was the newest. I flashed MK5 and never looked back. Now I will just continue to ignore the "must be on MK3" line in the OPs.
Edit: I love your signature. I had never seen it before due to being on tapatalk usually but it's the best I've seen so far as donation signatures go.
+1 on not taking any OTA updates period. The last one introduced Knox and it's only gonna get worse people.
One things for sure, the next phone I get after the S3 will be purchased after doing tons of research. I am not going to spend $300 + on a phone that ends up with a dead development scene.
Edit :
Just wanted to add that I'm not leaving the S3 anytime soon. I'm actually very happy with this phone. The upcoming combination of Wicked Sensations & Project-X is something that I'm definitely looking forward to.
+1...
I'm very happy with my S3 and have a good feeling this will be my daily driver for several years to come unless something unforseen happens. One things for sure, there's still a good bit of development going on for this phone and I hope it continues.
LOL! Bro, you just brought back some fun memories from when I used to play Mortal Combat. FATALITY! LMAO!! Good one.
I've had good luck with Wicked Sensations and the dkp kernel. After tweaking the kernel, I've actually gotten very good battery life from that ROM. One thing that I have noticed is that Xposed Framework, with a good bit of its mods running , will drain the battery faster.
Have you tried Wicked Sensations?
Other things that I do to help with battery drain are to tweak the wifi settings. I turn off most of those options. One of the main options that will pull juice is the one that keeps the phone constantly looking for a wifi signal. I turn that one off. GPS is another that I disable unless it's needed. There are the other little tweaks like freezing apps which you mentioned. Lowering the screen brightness is another battery saver I use when I'm out and about. As long as I don't stay on the phone all the time, battery drain isn't very bad.
Unfortunately, staying off the phone isn't an easy thing for me to sometimes. I'm very thankful a good friend sent me one of his Zerolemon batteries. Even with heavy use, using the battery saving tweaks usually gets me quite a few days out of one charge.
Just using the OEM stock battery, it takes me 2 to get through the day with very heavy usage. I'll usually use 1 and half of the other.
You mentioned the M8. I've actually read several posts here at AF and over at XDA where members were talking about this phone. I have yet to see it. As soon as I finish this post I'm going to check it out and read up on its specs. It must be a nice one.
EDIT:
I just read up on the HTC One M8. Wow! A very nice phone indeed. I like the boomsound speaker set up as well as the brushed aluminum case. Too bad that that beautiful case won't be seen because most owners will wrap it in a case. I don't blame them either because that sucker is expensive! Even if Boost ended up with this phone I doubt very seriously I would even be able to afford it. It's a very nice device. Sadly, the price tag reflects just how nice it is. LOL.

that would be a dream
