Hi,
I've just install from the new installer CyanogenMod the ROM, after 2 automatique update, now it's tagged:
11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P
I think (from the note above the version) it's a M8.
What about the M9 and M10? It's comming in automatique Update (OTA) or I need to install it manualy?
Is the Installer version are something different as Mx?
ps: it's a very stable ROM (version), and I don't want change from a M9-10 right now, it's about know if updates are avaible from the Installer version and if a CyanogenMod 12 (Android L) comming, it's possible by Automatique Updater (OTA).
Hi, same question, please?
Me too ?
Personally, I would install TWRP, create a nandroid backup of your current ROM, manually flash an updated ROM and test the new ROM for a while. If the new ROM is unstable, restore your previous ROM from TWRP.
I think I have an even better question.
I hope this is a good question. I have loaded the CM installer version and to my delight I was back on 4.4.2 KK. I did not like the official 5.0.2 L update everything was slow and sluggish and I wanted to get back to root. Upon setting up my deb-razorg and after all apps were re-installed I had received a CM Installer update and I am now on 11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P aka 4.4.4. Click check for updates under system updates yields nothing it simply shows your system is up to date however during the process of updating google play services and I am sure frameworks somehow in my notification shade it shows System update available (Android 5.0.2 System update). I do not want to make this mistake again as this is what I saw using stock ROM right before going to Lollipop. The question is why would I get a separate OTA from Google why would I get an official OTA or AOSP update at the same time I had been getting back to back CM Installer updates? They appear to be two separate updates so not only do I not want to go back to Lollipop I am scared that would brick my tablet since I am on CM Installer. I cannot get rid of the official update from notification shade. Please help the question is not specific to the device I would just like to know why I am getting two different update prompts one official and one from CM installer?

hi to everyone,
i would like to know if there's a custom rom that can be installed (the first time); after that, when some updates occur, i can update the rome with a small zip and not to reflash all the phone to get the new version? there is such a rom that has this feature?
for example, i have a stock deodexed rotted stock FRG83 (taken from development section) and i would like to know if there's an update i can install only the update instead of reflashing all the rom (even if i don't do a wipe)?
sorry for my english
thanks in advance
one and only ... stock rom
If your are flashing a "small zip" why not just flash the whole ROM? If you are upgrading to a newer version of the ROM you currently use, you only need to wipe cache and dalvik. All your apps and settings should remain intact. In and out, done in less than 10 minutes.
THANKS... so simple
Hey!
New to the XDA forum, not new to Android!
I will cut to the chase and explain really fast what I need help with.
I have been using the Imperium ROM 4.4.2 KK for a few weeks now and I love it.
But as of a few days ago, Update 4.0 (up from 3.6) was released, and my phone just won't stop spamming me with "upgrade to the latest version 4.0!" . However, as far as I can tell, I have to re-download the 4.0 ROM and flash my phone entirely over again.
So, TL;DR:
I am using the Galaxy S4 Imperium 4.4.2 ROM 3.6 and I want to;
a)Upgrade to 4.0 without re-flashing my and having to re-install all apps, backup photos etc.
b)Turn off the spam notifications about updating.
Thanks in advance, sincerely

Guys come on. These are really basic questions.
- If you are not prepared to wipe everything from time to time, then you should stay away from custom roms.
- You can just try it yourself if it works. Make a backup and flash away. If you got problems, fully wipe and restore your backup.

Hello, I managed to install Imperium Rom on to my phone but when I try to sync my phone with my samsung account it says sync error and also when I try to restore my phone with my samsung account it says could not connect to server but now I have gone back to my stock rom everything is fine. do you know what the problem could be?
Hi all,
I have UK SG312 on Andorid 4.3 rooted with SuperSU already installed .....
I have Phab7 installed via Xposed Installer and also a few other UI customisations via gravity box such as custom battery status .. but the main reason was to get the tablet mode UI option enabled so that the Back & Home .. etc buttons/icons are positioned in the more tablet friendly bottom left of the screen.
Is it possible to update to the official latest Android release (lollipop 5.1 - ROM 10.6.A.0.454) and keep my root, so that Phab7 / Xposed will still work .. or is it impossible to have legacy tablet mode ui on Lollipop ... is there an alternative to Xposed & Pahb7 that works for lollipop ?
I seem to remember that it was possible to update from 4.0 to 4.X and keep root using the OTA updates as long as SuperSU was installed and its binaries updated prior to running the update...
Does this method still work and will Phab7 still work ? ... do i need to do something with Phab7 or Xposed first ?
I tried to find the answers on the forum but couldn't find anything that matched my situation ....
Sorry all but i am about two years out of date with current Android unlock/root methods .... I've been happy with 4.3 so far ....
is it actually worth updating to 5.1 ?, is there a performance hit ?
So many questions ... any suggestion or advice greatly appreciated ...
Cheers
Jay
I'm on a SGP321 (LTE/4G) running 10.7.A.0.222 (LP 5.1.1).
10.7.A.0.228 has just been released, but is still vulnerable to stagefright.
Installing the Xposed framework on LP+ requires you to flash a zip file in recovery. You cannot install it through Android like before.
I'm running v78 sdk22 with Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4.
Is your device out of warranty?
If so, I'd recommend you unlock your bootloader to gain access to recovery.
You won't have to deal with losing root, and you can make system backups.
No need to unlock as there are working root exploits. See RootKit's post.
I too was reluctant to upgrade when Sony decided to remove the tablet mode.
I liked the nav bar on the left and notifications on the bottom right.
There was an Xposed module for KK4.4 which enabled the Tablet UI layout for the system called TabletKat. I used that while on KK. (repo.xposed.info/module/org.exalm.tabletkat)
But in Android 5+, they seemed to have totally removed the Tablet UI layout from SystemUI (as described here: ykkfive.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/real-original-xperia-tablet-ui-mode-for.html).
However, there is another module called "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons" (repo.xposed.info/module/com.gzplanet.xposed.xperianavbarbuttons)
which allows you to add margin to the right to reposition the buttons. See attached screenshots.
It does not move the notifications to the bottom right.
Yes, there are ways to keep root but I've never needed to as I have unlocked my bootloader and have recovery.
The methods usually rely on software bugs, which usually get patched. So this may not be doable for LP.
Subjectively, Lollipop feels snappier, but that could just be because I started with a fresh copy of android.
All the root apps I use and most of my Xposed modules work, so I'm happy on 5.1.1.
Regardless, I would recommend you upgrade as there are many security vulnerabilities patched between 4.3 and 5.1.
If and when Sony finally decides to patch Stagefright, you should definitely upgrade.

You can update to 5.1.1 (not .454 as it is Android 5.0.2, but 10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 firmware versions) via flashing PreRooted firmware via XZDR recovery. (TWRP preferrable) and maintain Root&Recovery&Xposed, but Tablet Kat won't work. Though it's creator promised to adapt it to LP.

Actually yes, the rom is one of the smoothest on device. Also there is a slight performance boost (see Antutu or Quadrant), because of the good optimization.
Xposed and many modules like Gravity Box are working good. So i see no reason to stay on older ROMs like 4.3 or .4.4.x.

By unlocking he will wipe TA partition with DRM keys which is unrecoverable. Furthermore, unlocking bootloader doesn't give you access to recovery cause Sony devices don't have stock recovery like Nexus or Samsung, so he will need to flash recovery to FOTA partition or use kernel with built-in one.
So instead, it's easier and safer to install XZDR recovery on bootloader locked Sony stock rooted ROM.
Also from it you can install Stock PreRooted ROM (like .454 or .222 or whatever you like ROMs), so you will keep root and bootloader locked at the same time.
So, your advice is a bit obsolete.
Scanning the forum today, I came across this:
[ROM] Z.A.D.Mix7 -Stock Base Rom-
Click to expand...

It looks like it would solve all the issues I'm having with my A7:
Enable multi-user mode
Enable on-screen buttons
Replace ZTE's built-in apps.
Is this a safer route to go in general than installing Cyanogenmod (when it's ready)? I've got CM on my Nexus 4, and yes, there's nice stuff there that's probably not here, but is a de-bloated stock ROM more likely to be bug-free? More likely for the camera and sound system to work fully? Also, will a debloated ROM allow for OTA updates - or allow for them to be sideloaded? I guess I'm asking, if I were to install this, what would be the procedure to get Nougat once ZTE comes out with it? Wipe and re-flash? Or wait for a de-bloated ZTE nougat ROM and flash that?
In order to flash a ROM on your axon 7 you need to unlock your bootloader which causes your warranty to be void and you can no longer receive OTA updates. Also if you are running a custom ROM you will have to wipe your phone before flashing an OTA update. However if you are running the stock rom you will probably only need to flash the update. I've tried both CyanogenMod and Z.A.DMix7 and honestly Z.A.DMix7 is definitely the way to go. In my experience using Z.A.DMix7 it seemed to be as stable as the stock rim and didn't have any major bugs. The only problem I had with it is that since it it rooted there is no way to log into Snapchat. How ever if you don't want root I think there may be an way to remove root from the ROM however I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if it'll work.
I use the debloated rom with android n-ify, xStana, and gravitybox and it is much better than the stock rom. I haven't tried the cm rom. You would have to flash the stock rom and recovery to get OTA updates.
So, i was using custom rom for a while on my phone and i decided to get back to stock so i can sell my phone later.
Problem is, it is not receiving OTA updates anymore!
I've installed V8.1.3.0.LHJMIDI from here: http://en.miui.com/download-261.html and i know there is a MIUI v8.2 update for my redmi 2 prime, but i can't find it anymore over OTA like before.
Can anyone explain what's wrong with this rom?

8.2 update is rolled back due to some issues.
Now, the latest version is 8.1.3.0 (which is also available on the MIUI downloads page).
