Great thread idea!
The DNA is the first phone that I haven't put a custom ROM on immediately. This time around I have not because the stock experience has been hassle free for me. No Bluetooth issues, no random reboots, no GPS locking issues. Aside from my GNex, it always seemed that there was some compromise when going the custom ROM route. Volume issues on the Fascinate, battery life issues with the GSIII, and loss of camera features on my DInc just to name a few. I'm really hoping that the Google Experience HTC One RUU helps devs clean up the existing issues creating a bug free custom ROM.
I'd really like to hear about the experience of folks who have picked a ROM and stuck with it for a couple of weeks.

I've been on nos M7 two weeks now, 99% working, just a few things not. Sweep to wake doesn't work and a few browser issues. And no weather widget wants to cooperate with me. Used rom manager to flash and was pretty painless.

What do you like about it? Does it bring something unique that isn't part of stock?

Carbon is Senseless AOSP 4.2.2 Rom and has the look and feel of CyanogenMod. Has some pretty cool feature I've never used/seen before like PIE and HALO. PIE is which lets you press on a specific spot of the screen to pull up softkeys (home, menu, search, recents). I had to us that feature to access the menu key. Halo was kinda like a floating half circle on the middle left side of your screen (which would be active thing in your notification bar i.e weather bug or SMS) you could then press the half circle to open that notification. Kinda hard to explain so if I confused you take a look at the thread at XDA.
I've also tried NOS which is pretty much a stock Sense 5 Rom with a few extra's like a EQS and the ability to change the function of the recent key to include a menu key. Very stable a smooth Rom overall I had not complaints.
Currently running Tranquil Rom which is a Sense 5 Rom with a blue/black glass theme with a few more extra features then any other Sense 5 Rom available. It has EQS which can be customized, ability to change the color/style of any icon in the notification bar, change the home screen size to 4x5, and a ton more. Overall it's very smooth and fast and like all other Sense 5 Rom only thing not working is Zoe.

Sense 4+ :-(
I was running carbon on my old gnex, but the bluetooth issues are a deal-breaker for me. I stream bt audio all the time.

Running PAC man ROM. I liked it at first but it's really starting to suck. It's crashing on me and restarting and I've got Bluetooth issues and data issues. Some apps will just randomly close it seems.

Everything that mclarryjr said! I will say, I think PIE is a little strange, don't use it yet, but HALO is cool, and I'm getting used to it. I like it because I hide the status bar all the time with Nova Launcher. I use it to compliment Carbon because it its sweet gesture controls and I get more room on the screen for icon and widget placement. Also, an important piece, it is not a battery hog, especially after installing crpalmer kernel as well. I found NOS to drain the battery like a tub, but to be fair, I only used the kernel that came with it.
I am currently running the latest release of Viper DNA. So far I have not had any issues with it.
I'm running CM 10.1 and it is awesome. Stock Android looks great on the DNA. I came from now m7, and while Sense 5 is good, Android 4.2.2 is amazing. I haven't found anything not working yet. Also, I gained almost 2 gigs of space going to CM over Sense.

How is camera, call audio, and reception on CM? Those 3 in particular sometimes seem to be problem areas on some devices running cm or aosp based roms.

I didn't notice much of a difference in battery life between Carbon and NOS.

The call audio and reception seem fine. The CM camera app sucks. I use Pro Capture. The Sense camera app is the one thing I do miss so far.

So anybody using Hatka? I've got it on my sd and it would be easy to switch, but nos with battery saver has been pretty decent so far...and my weather widget just started to work yesterday
