Hi Folks, my buddy has an HTC One M7 for Sprint and is looking to get into custom ROM's for the first time. I'll help him with getting it installed.
I'm unfamiliar with development for M7 and hoping someone can recommend a custom ROM that has everything working properly and as few bugs as possible.
Not too concerned with Android version or anything other than "it works great".
Just as long as phone calling, camera, texting, wifi, etc. etc. all work without trouble.
Suggestions?
EDIT:
Looks like custom Nougat ROM's are all reported to have some form of bluetooth issues.
So with Oreo too new, I'm looking for Lollipop or Marshmallow it seems.

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.
I'm on pj2 running twizted rom currently. Can you run the latest cm 14 based roms somehow? Just saw these on the international forums and really want to try these out but curious if anyone else has or has any advice for running something besides the touchwiz roms?

In the Verizon Note 4 thread, a developer made a multi-variant CM 14.1 ROM. I went through the thread thoroughly and found that someone who has the T-Mobile variant and is on PJ2 has this ROM running without issue. It is getting updated frequently. I tried it once but went back to stock as I need my phone for work... Since I'm taking a little over a week off, I'm going to be trying this again since I have more time to get things setup the way I want them to be.
