OK so I'm giving my Omnia 7 to a friend who needs a phone, but before I did I wanted to update to 7.8. Since that's unlikely to happen soon enough I'm looking to install a custom rom. Now it's been ages since I flashed my Omnia 7, and I've never installed a custom rom, so the questions I have are as follows:
1. I'm running the latest Omnia 7 updates, do I need to revert to an earlier rom?
2. Once I've reverted, do I have to install other things onto the phone before flashing the custom rom?
3. Is there like a single thread to follow these steps or do I have to piece together different posts to figure this out?
1. No, you don't need to install a previous ROM.
2. Yes,for install a custom rom your Omnia 7 must have MAGLDR (custom bootloader) thanks to DFT Team and Cotulla:

Recently updated my old Nexus 10/Manta to OmniROM 6.0.1 and I couldn't be happier. I had a fair bit of messing around on the first try until I got the sequence right...full wipe, flash ROM, flash Gapps pico and everything works REALLY well.
However, installing nightly updates is the same for me as the initial flash...I have to do a full wipe or I get the Google Services loop.
Am i doing something wrong is that how nightlies work currently?
Thanks.

Hi,
i'm rather new with rooting, flashing and all the stuff that comes with it.
Now i have an Oppo Find7 and i managed to install the following:
-TWRP recovery
-OmniRom 5.1 nightly
-Gapps 5.1
I'm pleased everything worked but now i saw OmniRom 6.0, when i tried to flash it with gapps i encountered the first problem:
-The install of OmniRom went well but when i try to install Gapps 6.0 stock, it is saying i dont have enough storage? Can i somehow increase or free up this storage to it can fit?
Second question: If the above is possible, is there a way to flash OmniRom 6.0 and Gapps 6.0 without the loss of data? or do i still have to backup and restore with titanium backup?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I have a Nexus 7 2013 wifi. Latest omni marshmallow but I have one issue. Battery drain.
It seems as it does not suspend. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction to help squash this pesky bug.
What I can add is that I have a Nexus 5 with same apps and settings without the issue .
Thank you

I just upgraded from ZTE Maven running Android 5.1, to a Galaxy Express 3 running Android 6.0.1. love the phone, but for one thing. I playing a game called Walking War Robots. It played good on the 5.0, but really lags bad on the 6.0.1.. I thought the better phone would be better but it's worse. I've also noticed that the graphics are better for the 6.0.1, including shadows for robots, etc. I believe it adds to the problem. What I'd like to know, is there a way to improve the performance of my phone to get rid of the lag, or is there a way to disable enhanced graphics and make the game think I'm running 5.0 to get rid of the shadows and enhanced graphics. I can do without robot shadows for the sake of smooth gameplay. Any help will be greatly appreciated... YodaXIII
password reset?
I decided to try the official Nougat for my 6P. Before going there, I made a TWRP backup, which I used "adb pull" to get to my computer. After trying Nougat and deciding I didn't like it, I went back to Omnirom from the TWRP backup. At boot it asks for the decryption password, which works fine, and omnirom starts up correctly. It then prompts me for password after restart, and it insists that I enter the wrong one. What options do I have to get past this, other than a clean install and then recover my apps/data from backups?
[edit: solved it] I entered the file manager of TWRP and removed /data/system/locksettings* After this, the next reboot required decryption password, as expected, but did not require a lockscreen password, so all was fine and I could again set a new lockscreen protection.
I have a micromax unite 4 pro (Q465) but on google there is no recovery img for any recovery I request u to help me how can I install a custom recovery to flash a zip filee please help me

Hello guys, I'm going to start out saying I’m a complete noob at rooting, getting custom ROMS, ect...
I just rooted my tablet for the first time using a guide from this thread here.
Now I want to be able to use Xposed on my tablet so i can use RootCloak, and various other modules. I read here that I need to made sure my ROM is deodex in order for it to work.
I guess my question is what I need to do from here to get Xposed working on my Tablet?
Model No. : SM-T530NU
Build: LRX22G.T530NUUEU1BOE5
Android 5.0.2
Thank you for any help/advice you all can give.
EDIT: I know how to flash a ROM w/ TWRP now, But I can't seem to find a deodex ROM that will work with my Model/Build.
EDIT2: I'm at work doing all this research so i haven't had time to toy with this yet, but.. I found the CM13 will work but i need to flash this firmware first.. but my question here is when i need to flash the Xposed framework, does that affect the firmware i neeed to get CM13 to work? :'( Someone kill me pls..
EDIT3: After 5 days of Trial and error and a ton of research.. I successfully flashed a custom ROM (bliss pop) and got Xposed working using the SDK23 version.
EDIT4: Officially solved and posted a guide on how I got the ROM / Gapps / Xposed working here. Enjoy.
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but unless I am missing something, I have yet to find a thread or instructions on how to do this.
I am on Pure Nexus, but I posted here because I'm guessing the answer applies to virtually any custom ROM. What are the steps involved in upgrading from a custom 6.0 ROM to the newly released Android 7.0? Is there a way to do this while keeping root?
Thanks,

There's roms you can flash, other than that just wait for the images to release and there will be alot options
So if it's a custom ROM based on 7.0 I can go ahead and flash using that specific ROM instructions?
I thought the official 7.0 came out yesterday, that's why I was wondering if I could update to the official and keep root and how to do that.

I'd Mae a backup send it to PC and try tupac4us rom or digitalhighs . They have vendors built in the zip .
I was on Benzo rom and this is exactly what I did; I restored back to stock rom only leaving bootloader unlocked. I joined the Android beta and the N ota was ready to install. I then flashed the latest twrp. I made sure to do a full nandroid and physically backed up anything important to my laptop before I restored to stock. I noticed until I flashed ditialhighs N rom my twrp would not "stick" but no big deal I just flashed it and went into recovery. It seems Android Pay is working with digitialhighs rom, you just toggle off root, use it, toggle back. Good luck
Which guide did you use for restoring to stock while keeping the bootloader unlocked?
i was on pure nexus 6.1 i used this guide to revert everything back to stock then i subscribed to the developer program and got 7.0 update in seconds, section 14 is pretty much all you need

Hello,
I have a GT-I9505 with an untouched Android 5.0.1 and I want to use a Custom ROM. Questions:
1. Which ROM is currently the best one available?
2. Can Anyone provide me a foolproof instructions / order of installing everything?
Thanks in advance
There are many tutorials on XDA on flashing a custom rom, it`s easy once you know how. YouTube also has some great vid`s to watch step by step.
My advice is 1st install a custom recovery like TWRP, concentrate on that first, you will need to download Odin software to flash TWRP to your phone, after that it`s as simple as downloading a zip rom to your sd card and flashing to your phone through TWRP recovery.
ALWAYS BACKUP your current working setup and read the entire rom description as SOME may have a few functions not working.
So far I have flashed about 5 diffrent rom`s to my i9505, all of which have been great, im currently using - [JDCTeam] Aosp Extended Pie Release 2.91 [9.0.0_r21] [unofficial] - with no problems.
