Hello,
I'd like to replace the original ROM of my HTC Desire C because there are more and more apps that I can' install (Android version being too old) and for security reasons (Android 4.0.1 is getting quite old and there are various exploits and malwares that can target it).
I had planned to switch it to CyanogenMod but given the current situation, it seems like a bad idea; and I doubt LineageOS will have a Desire C port anytime soon − or ever.
I'm looking for the most recent Android version possible, as close as stock as it can be and, of course, keep the hardware features of my phone (wifi, bluetooth and such).
What options would I have, if any?

I've been running the stock Lollipop build (Android 5.02, 39A) for a long time now. I see there isn't much activity on these forums, have people moved on to other phones? Are there any newer rom's I should try, that are 100% stable with no issues? (this is the main reason I stopped trying AOSP roms).
Is there any hope of M coming to our phone?
I really want android 6.0 on my htc, is there anyway thanks

Android 6.0 isn't even fully deployed to nexus devices yet, you'll have to be much more patient . We will probably see 6.0 CM or AOSP roms relatively soon. I'm not expecting any 6.0 rom based on HTC Sense UI. CM13 development started about 10 days ago btw.

Custom Roms
As I am sure you know of by now. There are some unofficial cm13 roms on XDA threads that will bring Marshmallow on the Htc One m7 for both GSM and verizon/sprint variants. As per usual these roms are in early stages so bugs are expected. Overall the roms I have tested work smoothly and features like doze, app permissions are present. Bugs like FC on camera while taking pictures and phone restarting when plugging headphones do annoy me a lot and thus I went back to stable 5.1 roms. You could try the marshmallow roms out of curiosity like I did, but you probably should wait if you want to use them as a daily driver for your phone.
Hello
I've didn't heard anything
VanirAOSP
I recommend the VanirAOSP ROMs. They're usually among the first to make builds of new versions of Android, and they do a great job of doing it in a timely manner while having a grasp on stability. As of their latest nightlies, the only bug on their Marshmallow builds is that the camera app force closes when you launch the camcorder app, but this is a bug with all Marshmallow ROMs. A big plus with Vanir is that they do support all M7 variants, which as a Sprint user myself, is fantastic.
I hope you enjoy it, and Happy Holidays!

Happy with 5.1.1 but is 6.0 better?
I'm a machinist and this is all Russian to me, my nephew rooted my phone due to no more updates anyhow my phone works great with this OS "t-mobile m7" but does it upgrade by itself by me checking like before or do I lose my game place and everything like before anyhow great job guy's it works great and I'm happy
I love my m7, and refuse to get another device, so i'm bummed that htc abandoned it...
anyway I have become a huge fan of the stock rooted gpe roms, and would like to port the gpe 6.0 rom from m8 to m7 gsm, right now we only have a broken cm 13 but...
I dont like cm
I want 6.0
I am not afraid of linux, been using it off and on for years, usually in between major game releases tying me to windows... lol
but i have never ported a rom or built one from source, I have found several useful tutorials on building aosp, but i get stuck at the device specific bits.
so i figgure porting the gpe rom using the existing cm 13 as a base would be ideal, if anyone could point me to any usefull tutorials, or help walk me through it, I would really apretiate it,
I have always wanted to build and port roms with little... correction no success.
Hey there!
Currently my HTC One M7 (international) has the ARTMOD V10.0 ROM, and I would like to update as soon as possible to Android Marshmallow, but I have a number of doubts.
There are many ROMS with Marshmallow for One M7, I found crDroid, AICP and unofficial CM13, but the only one I tried is crDroid and, despite its very good stability, it still has important bugs such the camera or reboots when you plug in the headphones. Besides, I'm afraid to try the other two ROMS because the probabilities that they were not stable enough, so I wonder: is there any ROM for HTC One M7 based on Android Marshmallow highly stable and without any significant bug?
I also like to use ROMs without Sense UI because although this layer of customization seems very good, in the future the ROMS that are made for the M7 will not be with Sense UI, and I'd to get used to stock Android, but have a great question: what about BoomSound? Is there a mod for Android Stock to return this power to the speakers?
So, that's all. Thank you!

Have you tried Viper4Android yet? If not, I highly recommend you to do so. It doesn't truly unleash the "Boomsound" but it comes very close; hence is worth giving a shot. Be sure to keep some things in mind, though:
Set your SeLinux permissive.
Always run Viper4Android in FX Compatible mode(can be found in the app's settings).
For a great experience, select "Super Audio Quality" and ignore all warning messages during driver install.
Toggle UI Setting to "Expert"(even if you aren't an audiophile). Play a track. Try tweaking with the settings (equalizer, reverberation, etc.) to suit your experience.
as the snapdragon s4pro and 600 are very similar and other than minor things the nexus 4 and m7 are close phones on the hardware level, how hard would it be to port this rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/wip-aosp-7-0-nougat-t3448444
would someone be willing to give it a go?
I have not been in the dev scene since pre 5.0 and things have changed enough that it would be almost starting from scratch for me I figured someone with experience porting modern roms would be better suited for the task.
Why should someone port this rom? We have already two nice working 7.0 Roms for the M7 well both are not in final release yet but you can use Slim7 as daily driver its pretty good http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/orig-development/rom-slim-7-t348665. Porting a Rom is a lot of work and Slim7 is AOSP so i think thats better
Porting ROMs isn't that easy, even with similar hardware. Building AOSP-based ROMs isn't easy as well. I'm working on it since two months, but it has its complications. If you want stock-like Nougat ROMs, I highly recommend the Slim7 beta, which isn't loaded with a ton of apps, or wait until I figure out the build of Nougat ROMs and get a working build of AOSP-OMS (which is pure AOSP but using CyanogenMod's sources and build system, so it's easy to build for the m7)
