I am currently running CM11-2014112 on my M7. To do this I unlocked bootloader with FastADP, flashed TWRP, flashed the ROM, flashed GAPPS and loaded SuperUserSU.
I have TitaniumBackup free version for the apps and TWRP for flashing.
I am confused about upgrading to a 5.1 ROM. I am only interested in stable versions. Is there a significant difference from 5.0?
Thusfar I have only found these that claim to be stable:
XenonHD
Skydragon (Beta?)
Viper One
Do I need to be S-Off for any of these ROMs?
Do I need to update firmware before flashing a Lollipop ROM?
Do I need to change/update the radio?
Does anyone have a suggestion for a ROM?

Hi, I can't post in the dev section but I am trying to flash the Paranoid Android 4.4.2 on my HTC One for Verizon. I am coming from PAC Rom using TWRP. It is failing to flash after wiping the system. My guess is that I believe PAC is not kit kat and PA is. Where can I get an updated firmware? flash to get my phone on Kit Kat so I can flash the PA Rom?
Thanks
you don't need to update your firmware for AOSP based ROMs
you just need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) to flash 4.4 ROMs
what is the error your are facing?

That was the problem, I thought I had the latest TWRP, thanks. Now I am just trying to find why I have no service at all with the ROM installed. I see I am not the only one, I will look into it.
Hey guys,
I don't know the answer for sure and although I have a twrp backup I still want to avoid having un-necessary problems.. If I'm using right now ARHD 51, android 4.4.2, BulletProof 4.4.2 kernel and Twrp 2.6.3 and I wanna go for MIUI V5 which is android 4.2.2. Miui requires TWRP 2.6.0 or something like that to work, what are the stages that I have to do now?
I come from the Galaxy S I9000 and there I had to flash first stock or stock based 4.2.2 rom before flashing miui because of the different android versions and I want to know if its the same here? Can I just flash the twrp, 4.2.2 kernel and wipe and flash the miui rom? Or do I have to install some stock 4.2.2 rom first?
Thanks!

make sure to take backup before doing all this
you can try to flash MIUI v5 with TWRP 2.6.3.3, i think it will work
if not use TWRP 2.6.3.0
Hi all,
Just a quick note to say that my slightly modified stock rooted roms are up based off the latest Asus Stock 4.4.2 11.4.1.29 releases.
I've also included flashable updates to the latest Bootloader and CWM versions.
Enjoy!

Sounds like a great ROM. I wish I could unlock my bootloader and try it out.
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!
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.
