Hi I'm new to the nexus 6p scene. But I'm trying to update my vendor image so I can try out the latest DU ROM. Can anyone tell me where to find them? I've googled searched and haven't found anything. Only links to threads that mention vendor images. Thanks in advance.

Are you new to Android and XDA as well? Every device section had some important sticky topics (mostly on general) the first topics I've read over here is the root guide and the index topic. In the index topic you'll find factory images, bootloaders, radios, vendor images, custom roms, kernels etc.

You should read through the cyanogen thread, and if you ever have questions do a search on the forums before posting a question because it's probably already been answered.
Make a backup of your apps with another app like Titanium backup in the playstore. Or another app that will backup and restore your apps.
When you upgrade your ROM your saved items will stay on the emulated sdcard on your phone, so your backed up apps will stay on there.
If you have to wipe everything on your phone someday, just transfer your backups to your desktop.
Read this root guide, the second post will tell you about backups.

I highly recommend you download Cyandelta for using CM Nightlies, you'll be downloading 8-20MB instead of ~150MB. Using it's openrecovery script it can auto install via TWRP, too.
Hi all,
This is probably my first post so before I go ahead I'd like to thank all developers on this site. It's got a wealth of information that helped me a lot.
Unfortunatey I haven't found a way to do this yet, so I'm posting and asking for help with this issue I'm having...
I used to run CM10.1 on my Nexus 4, I always patched that rom with autopatcher to apply openpdroid so I could set privacy stuff using the Pdroid Manager app.
I decided to go back to the stock rom due to issues I was having (my phone actually got bricked and I managed to fix it following excellent instructions that I found here).
Now I can't apply the openpdroid patch to the stock ROM because autopatcher only accepts zip files and I'm sure that it needs the structure of the ROM.zip to work. The Google factory image is a ROM.tgz file and upon extracting a zip and the factory image, I noticed that the structure is completely different. I have no idea how to create a zip file out of the stock rom.
I'm wondering if anybody could do this? I'm not sure if autopatcher requires deodexing... All I need is a stock 4.3 mako image in the form of a zip file that works like the CM roms, so I can patch it with openpdroid via autopatcher.
Is this possible? Could someone here do it, please?
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
Thanks all for reading!
Welcome to the great xda-developers forums
Well you should search the Forum with the forum search for a tutorial to zipalign your stock rom, there are many out there i think.
I think i even saw a rom kitchen for that.
That thread belongs to Q&A by the way
(Just a tip on the side)

Thank you, as you can see I'm new here I tried to search for something but I'm not sure if I was using the right terms, so I decided to ask. I didn't even know about this zipalign or rom kitchen stuff, but now that you mentioned it I will research. Thanks!

Just my opinion but I think it would be better to find a stock, 4.3 deodex ROM in a flashable zip. I'm dead sure there's a few floating around in android or original android development. That would make it easier to patch
Edit: this should do, stock 4.3 zip:

Hey all,
I know people have tended to build an empty Flashable Zip file where non-devs can package, sign and create zip files for general flashing.
Would one of you hot shot devs be willing to build one? I'm trying to build a few flashable files to load various apps into the N6P system folder for others to use. I just have to mine working first before I can post for others to use. For now im just doing it the old school way and loading the folders and files into the System/Priv-App directory and testing.
Thanks in advance!
I've been using the one I used for older devices and it's working just fine. You should actually try some trusted ones and see if they still work now before you come and ask for a new one.
As of mine... I won't upload unless other solutions won't work, and I bet there are plenty out there that still works. Mine is actually based on one found on XDA too.

The other empty flashable zip files found on the internet are not working with android 7.1.1 operating system. Can anyone please help me with a flashable zip ?
I too would be interested in this.

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there is a guide to building custom roms for galaxy s7? I've seen videos showing basic modification of the rom before flash, usually for generic devices...
Most roms I've looked at for s7 seem to prefer flashing from odin? I've worked on rooted devices before but they didn't use .img files for flashing just straight .zips flashed thru twrp.
Is there a preferred method for creating roms for s7 devices?
Hi there , on the top you have a search function ! Use it , its free
Obviously I've tried searching... only thing I've found is kitchen tools but I'm wondering if there is anything specific to galaxy s7 and odin.

The first thing you need to look for if you want to build roms is
the APK TOOL which can be found here in xda providing you
use xda's search function or search using your friendly google! LOL
Good luck,
Have a great day
OK helpful...
So all im actually after here is a little bit of helpful information, I was wondering if someone had some insight or experience. A guide. A wiki something like that...
Please guys all I'm asking for is a little help in the right direction... as far as I can see apk tool is only for work on apks not full roms?
XDA university has introduction to building ROM in general here and you seek a little help for s7/edge if any from many developers already has the rom running but I think you first have to understand building ROM and figure it out.
Perfect.
This is exactly what I was looking for... I searched guides, q + a and a few other places. Didn't see xda university. Thanks so much this is so helpful
Android 7.1.1 is out now from a developer.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767121311
*If you have already flashed cm14*
Install the zip file.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash the zip file.
Reboot the system.
Now you can experience Android 7.1.1
Check the development threads below, CM 14.1 has been around for some days already.
I guess u r not allowed to share links just like that. Further ashwin is already sharing his work in original development thread. Request admin to delete the thread

U seems not been to XDA since ages, we have a bunch of threads available for the same.
Great guide though
It's a file with 460+ downloads, you didn't think that it'll already be on active development stage on the forums ?
Nice try but sorry. Reported.
