Stock-ish GPe ROM

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone could recommend me a stock (ish) GPe ROM to use that is flashable from CWM?
I don't particularly want to do a conversion to turn it into a GPe phone, just want a stock ROM that is as stable as the official builds
TIA

There are loads of GE Rom's in Android Development. Look around.
But if you want a stock looking one optimized for performance you should try Android Revolution GE edition .
Stable and smooth.
If you want 100% stock: look here

[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.

[Q] Firmware for 5.1 aosp/cm roms

I'm currently on Sense 6 Kitkat rom with the 6.09.401.5 firmware. I am bored and fancy trying one of the 5.1 aosp or cm based roms for a while. I appreciate the rom will probably work with my current firmware, but for optimal battery and signal what firmware should I flash for this?
Thanks,.

I was on the basically the same firmware when I first ran CM12. I used it for a while (~a week or two), then flashed to 7.17.1540.21. I didn't find that it gave me any noticeable improvement in battery or signal.

Return HTC One M7 from google play edition to aosp or sense...

Hello, I hope this is the right section... my girlfriend has an old HTC one m7 which used to be mine and I gave it to her converted to google play edition with Lollipop 5.1, the phone is not rooted.
I did this years ago so I don't remember the specific HTC one procedures (I was coming from a samsung back then) but I converted an unlocked tmobile htc one lte to google play edition.
I'm now looking to update this phone to Nougat, especifically crdroid nougat which is aosp/lineage os-based.
I would also like to know how to return to sense if possible.
What would the steps necessary for this be? Do I have to convert the google play edition back to a normal htc one in order to install aosp roms or sense roms?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help?

if your phone is running the latest gpe firmware, simply flash twrp and your aosp rom. You don't want to flash the sense firmware back since the nougat roms work better with the gpe firmware.
