Any advantage to go to 4.2.2 from 4.1.2 (Stock). Also Rogers question for flashing

I'm on 4.1.2 currently - Stock - But haven't received the OTA update yet. (My carrier hasn't pushed it yet, sounds like its still a month away)
Is it worth unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery on and flashing a 4.2.2 rom? (Android Revolution as I want the stock experience) Just for the updates 4.2.2 brings?
I've used 4.2.2 on other phones I have (Xperia ZL Stock and Nexus 4 running PA 3.5) so I'm aware of what the stock upgrades are, but what does 4.2.2 bring to the HTC One over 4.1.2? Any improvements?
I want to try Android Revolution but have been hesitant on doing so - I have a Rogers Canada version of the HTC One LTE (Same as AT&T). Am I able to flash International roms like Android Revolution on my phone and maintain LTE?
I am S-ON, but I understand Most roms still use the Stock Kernel correct? So how would I go from 4.1.2 Stock rom to 4.2.2 Android Revolution as far as flashing? Do I need flash the boot.img first? (Doing it with S-ON is what I'm implying, yes I know there are S-OFF methods currently)

[Q] rom to flash

my cid is t mob 101 and i am rooted and i have stock rom 4.1.2.I tried to update it to 4.2.2 but i should have stock recovery(i have),be relocked(i am) and be unrooted(i am not cause i can not do this...if someone can help me i will be glad).

Android Revolution HD. It is based to be as stock as possible. Certain performance mods can be selected in Aroma on install.

[Q] When to convert to GPE for lollipop 5.0

Hi,
I am getting very excited about the release of the upcoming lollipop GPE.
Currently I am running Sense 4.4.4. I read that in order the get the new GPE you will have to convert your phone to a GPE version.
When would be the best way to do this? Before or after the update has stroke lightning?
I am S-off and have supercid by the way.

Hi
I think you're talking about update not about CM
The Google Edition update will be next week, it's confirmed by HTC on Twitter, so you don't have to wait so long
Android L for Sense you will get 90 days after releasing official code of Lollipop.
I advice you to flash now RUU with GPE 4.4 and update it to 4.4.4 coz I don't know if there will be RUU with Lollipop released
Regards

If you want to get 5.0 ASAP, then I would flash 4.4 GPE now and then do the OTA when it comes out.

You would or have to ?

Thanks for the advices. Guess I'll be flashing gpe today. I do hope that battery life is OK. Now I use an undervolt on elemental x, xposed to block Google services wake locks and greenify Facebook. And that has been giving great results

Battery life is ok without root and with stock kernel better then stock with sense

[Q] flashing older rom with newer/latest firmware

Hello all,
I'm soon going to get a third M7. The device I'm getting has been updated to latest official version with Sense 6 (Android 4.4.3?), so I guess firmware was also updated.
Since I hate Sense 6 (flame away ) I'd like to ask if it's ok to flash an older rom with Sense 5.5 (Android 4.4.2) without downgrading the firmware?
As far as I can remember I had no issues running a Sense 6 rom with older firmware on my previous device, but what about the other way around?
Thank you in advance!

You should be fine, as long as you're S-OFF.
Might want to doublecheck with some more experienced folks here.

[Q] Sense 5.5 and firmware downgrade

I'm currently on a Sense 6 rom using firmware 6.09.401.5, this a Kitkat based rom.
I am thinking of downgrading to a Sense 5.5 rom or even a Sense 5 rom for various reasons. The rom I am thinking is based on 4.19.401.9 firmware.
Can I keep my current firmware or should I downgrade the firmware to 4.19.401.9 which is what the rom is based on?
The firmware I am using is the latest available and runs my 4.4.3 rom which I am presently using. The Sense 5.5 rom I am thinking of using is 4.4.2.
Thanks.

First, do you have s-off? Without s-off you can't downgrade the firmware. If you have s-off I would simply try the rom with you current firmware. I would only downgrade my firmware if I experiences some stability issues.

Yeah, I'm s-off. I have flashed firmwares, ruus etc.

And don't forget if you downgrade your firmware, use a "full" firmware package not a firmware.zip extracted from an ota update as it will probably brick your phone. "full" firmware.zip are usually 40-50Mb. Firmware.zip from ota update are only patches and doesn't include all firmware files so using one of these will brick your phone.
