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.

Just flashed the ARHD 4.4.3 (81.0) but I am not really keen on the Sense 6 UI, in fact I dislike it a lot over Sense 5.
Would I need to flash a different radio/baseband if I want to go to a 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 rom?
I am on baseband: 4T.28.3218.04_10.33E171801L
Thanks.

Hello guys! I was thinking of switching to the official dirty unicorns rom version 9.4 for my htc one m7 sprint, and was wondering what is the stability like? Also since my phone is s-on is there any extra steps I need to take to flash the rom supplied from http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/m7spr/Official/ (the latest 5.1.1 version) . ok, last question, im currently on android 5.0.2 sense 7, so to jump to 5.1.1 do I need to flash a firmware update? I haven't flashed roms much so I don't want to miss anything and brick my phone. Is there anything else I should know before flashing?
Thanks for your help!
Also, which gapps should I use fromhttp://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/gapps/?
Thanks!
On my HTC One (m7) I have a message suggesting an upgrade on a fresh install of the [ROM][5.1] Google Play Lite Edition / Stable * Fast *
I am not sure if it is safe (or even possible) to do this upgrade since this version of GPE has had alterations to the original. What s the best way to procedd. Will it install all the nonsense google apps I dont want and/or screw up my current ROM install? Totally new to this ROM and I don't see anyone discussing it in the forums for this particular ROM. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers
I know some guys upgraded to 5.1 but not much. This time just stay at 5.0 and wait until rom cook android 6.0 port to m7.

That's the interesting thing. My ROM is already 5.1, but message is for upgrading to 5.1. This is the confusing thing. Wondering if it will take away the benefits of this ROM (lite version with less bloatware from Google). Thanks for your response though.

official support of the M7 stopped at android 5.0.2 for Sense version and 5.1 for GPE version.
You'll only find custom rom for Marshmallow and Nougat. I wouldn't recommend Marshmallow roms, they are unstable. Nougat roms work fine when used with the GPE firmware.
Don't forget that you shouldn't create 2 different threads for the same thing (read forum rules).

I hadn't had issues while running custom roms after 5 years.
I assume it's next to impossible to flash the GPE firmware if you're S-ON right?
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.
