Is the current ROM on T-Mobile 4.3 sense 5.0? And this just has sense 5.5 on top of 4.3 right? When do you guys think T-Mobile will have the official ota?

Flash in recovery. Then wipe caches and reboot.

*Note:
it can also be disabled through the Adaway app but it is no longer available on the play store, and I don't distribute it.

Correct.
The rest of your question (the part not quoted above) is actually a bit off-topic for a ROM support or development thread and I prefer not to go off topic, but that being said, it seems that T-Mobile may not get the Sense 5.5 until the upcoming android 4.4 KitKat update.
Now, I ask that we all please keep speculation and questions about release dates out of these threads. Thank you

I could make it work but would have to revert back to the sense 5 lockscreen. Not a big deal for some, for others not preferable when its a sense 5.5 rom. So the best answer I can give you is I have no immediate plans.

Is it possible to incorporate the theme chooser or is it limited to cm based rims?

Problem with basic WIFI
First thank you so much for the development. This ROM is exactly what I was looking for. I just traded a G2 for the HTC One so I do not have a ton of experience with this device. I am having very inconsistent results with WIFI. WIFI calling seems to be fine; however, WIFI itself rarely gives the network layer to the phone even when I have an excellent signal. I have tried disabling WIFI calling to see if that is the culprit and the same behavior continues. Again this is a new phone to me so is this a consistent issue with the HTC One? The WIFI antenna itself is significantly better than my last phone's - so it's not an issue with a weak signal. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I've been reading more and the general consensus seems to be to do a factory reset. I did a reset before coming to this rom but I guess I'll try again. Certainly this is not related to the ROM based on what I've been reading. Thanks again for the time and effort Behold_this.

You might try rebooting your router/modem, every so often mine gets a little finicky

I've searched and cant really find anything about this, but my HTC Email app will randomly quit working. I can open it fine, but it wont let me switch between my Outlook account or my work email. Sometimes I can get it to open emails, but I cant reply to them. The send button just blinks, nothing happens. I've wiped and reloaded, cleared data and cache for the email app, nothing. Seems very odd.

Stock Group MMS not working, sends blank message
So I flashed this ROM a few days ago and it has been working superbly. Super fast and overall plain awesome.
I was sending a group MMS text yesterday using the stock Messaging App with Group MMS checked ON in the settings, and people kept telling me that I was sending them blank messages. My friends are iPhone users but my group texting used to work for everyone before. Any thoughts guys?

Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in the 3.62 base as it has appeared on other ROMs built from it. I certainly can't do anything to fix it, I'm sorry to say. If I come across a workaround or any solution I will post back but for now unfortunately I would suggest you use a different app, or avoid group texts. The new Hangouts app is a great supplement to the stock messaging app now, as it supports full SMS capabilities. As for the stock app there's not anything I can do atm.

I don't know why, but my SIM contacts keep disappearing and appearing at random.
The only mod I have is Bulletproof Kernel, 1% battery, and purexaudio.

Aww that is a bummer. Do you think there is a way to roll back the stock Messaging App to the 4.2.2 version? Would that even work as a fix? Maybe someone has an apk out there I could install and test it out...

You can try the stock messaging app from the tmobile 3.24 release. It should still work. I have come across many sense 5 apps from the Android 4.3 build that work on sense 5.5/Android 4.3 builds, just haven't tried messaging.

The "hold back arrow to kill app" feature, is that a mod or part of the stock ROM? If a mod, is there a way to install it to other ROMs?

This is not related to phone's firmware, software, or hardware. This is due to T-Mobile's crappy network. This started happening to me on 4.1.2, I upgraded to 4.3 and still the same issue. Happened out of the blue, started in October and hasn't been fixed since. It was working perfectly fine since I've had the phone on launch day. Please refer to this thread, there are some Executive Response email addresses you can reach out to on Page 2...you can see some of our templates there.
This is not just affecting Android phones, but Windows phones and iPhones as well.
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/55846
I have the same username on there. I was reached out to by the Executive Response team. I will be in touch with a "best of best" advanced tech specialist who will get the details from me, and report that information to the networking engineers at T-Mobile to fix this horrible, annoying issue.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I installed Textra and people are telling me that they are now getting my group MMS. So I am under the impression that the issue is actually with the stock messaging app. I am not sure if there are other issues with the network in your area.

I believe you are incorrect and that it's network related. Like I said, it was working flawlessly for 6 months and the issue started occurring out of nowhere in October, which is when it started happening for a bunch of other people on other phones, not just the HTC One. I had not updated the stock 4.1.2 OS. Please read that thread I posted above on T-Mobile's Support forums. When using other apps, it most likely uses different server configurations and doesn't necessarily travel through T-Mobile's servers. While it might be working now through a third-party app...a stock experience should never be faulty.
