The most important factor which has been ascribed to people converting to Christianity was the promise of salvation in the afterlife. Roman religion and other polytheistic religions just said that after death people went to the underworld, but did not have much to say about the afterlife. Moreover, Christ was a compassionate figure who cared about humanity, whereas the gods of the polytheistic religions did not care much about humanity. Another factor was that the Christians had a missionary zeal and actively pursued converting people, whereas there was no such missionary fervour in other religions.

What happened once Constantine 1 converted to Christianity?
We do not really know if or when Constantine converted to Christianity. Some believe that he converted when he had a vision of a cross in the sky, while others say that he had a death-bed conversion. On the first of these beliefs, Michael Grant (The Emperor Constantine) says, "It is a pity that this tale does not seem to be truthful, for more reasons than one."Certainly, Constantine's mother was an avid Christian and so there is no strong reason to believe that Constantine did not at some stage convert to Christianity. The problem is that we do not know when this happened, nor what happened afterwards.

What was the main reason the byzantine empire converted from Christianity to Islam?
The underlying premise of the question is incorrect. The Byzantine Empire never converted to Islam and Islam was, by and large, illegal within the Byzantine Empire for as long as it existed. The reason why the territory formerly controlled by the Byzantine Empire became Muslim-majority was because it was conquered by various Islamic States such as the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuq Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Empire (which finished the job).
