Is it possible when i have a rom and there is updatet version to build a ota out of it? that everybody who wanna download only has to download ota and all is good. Would make some roms more attractiv. In my case i only have the traffic of my mobile provider and i only have 3gb of free traffic.
And when somebody tells me how it works i would make some ota for my favorite roms.
Best regards vision03.

Yes that's possible, there even devs that update there rom when there is a new kernel. Back in the days when I flashed with my Xperia x10 that was always the case. Just flash a update. Not possible if it's a whole new base/different firmware.
Would be nice if devs do that. So I can download it on 3g.
Good point this thread.
re
For example. Jamals google rom is not a complete new system coming from v1 final to v2.2 final. There have been added missing files and have been fixed some problems. How do devs fix problems. They change some lines in existing files. So it would be possible only to change this files.
Also coming from x10 and therefore wolfbreak also offers ota updates for his roms.
So it also should be also possible for our sammy phone. And sorry that i say something like that. Sammy also provides ota updates for nearly every update. Also in case of a complete system update so i can't see why it is not possible for costum roms.
Is there anywhere a how to of making ota files that i could test this. I think a rom would be much more attractiv for a bigger community if there are ota files.
Best regards vision03.
No one a tip for me?
Hey All,
I'm pretty new to XDA, but I wanted to share some stuff I'm working on. I noticed that the SM-T800 (10.5" Wifi) was missing some more recent updates, so I decided to give it a spin creating a base stock ROM using the T800XXU1ANH1 update released in September.
What I did:
Based on Stock TouchWiz build T800XXU1ANH1 (Italy release)
Rooted
De-Odexed
De-Knoxed
Zip-Aligned
Init.d Support
Some disclaimers:
This is my first ROM.
I cannot guarantee you this will not destroy your device
Flash at your own risk!
If you like this ROM, or if you want to use it as a base for your own project, feel free! I don't expect anything in return. I really just hacked this together using JustArchi's excellent ArchiKithen (thanks Archi!)
Again, this is my first project, so feedback is welcome. I would have posted this in the Android Development forum, but I don't have access
Cheers!

Hi there, flashed the ROM, it's running quite well. Noticed the following:
1- ROM appears to hot have the sdcard fix (unable to write to sdcard)
Other than this, running well. Would you be adding the multi boot menu ?
Also, what has been updated from the ANY version to this one?
continued development?
Hi there
Just wondering if you were still developing for this ROM,.
Will you be releasing an update based on the newest ANI1 update?
Can't connect to my 5g wifi router for some reason?

Same thing here, I can connect to my 2ghz, but not 5ghz.
I flashed the stock ROM and I can connect to both 2 & 5ghz, so it appears there may be an issue with this ROM.
Hopefully swaj will release a ROM update from the ANH1 to the ANI1 update with the 5ghz fix
NI1 is just for csc. Newest usable pda is still NH1 (chinese NI1 pda is not very usable as swaj found out). It would be nice to see someone release NH1 to T805. I don't want to flash with odin and then re-root and install twrp again and don't know how to make flashable zip roms.

i'm checking out this rom, i'll give feedback
---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------
are you able to odexed this rom and remove bloats?
Hi,
It will probably take some time until I'll get my phone, but I am trying to understand how to start.
I am OK with having only English on my phone, but I would prefer to have a clean and bloat free rom that has the GAPPS and that can get OTA updates.
I want to do the minimum needed to get this, I really don't want to change roms every other week.
How should I start? I am a bit lost.
Is the Chinese rom that bad?
Should I change the rom and root it?
Thanks in advance,
Asaf
I think this should be in the Q&A forum
It sounds like you want a stable ROM with Gapps. Xiaomi offer several ROM types. If you want Gapps included from the start, you want their stable international ROM. The trouble is that at the moment they don't do one for the XRN2 yet. Head over to en.miui.com, pick a phone that has been around for longer and in the download section for that device you will see the different ROM types (there are tabs at the top of each phone section). There are also a couple of great explanatory pages in their forum that guide you through the different ROM types.
Use the xiaomi.eu ROM. Multilanguage, clean and with Gapps. OTA also included

First, get TWRP installed in your phone.
Then flash a stable rom
At the end, install proper gapp using TWRP.
Thanks.
So
1. Install TWRP, will this link should be enough to install it? http://en.miui.com/thread-156838-1-1.html
2. Go to http://xiaomi.eu --> ROMs DOWNLOAD and take the DOWNLOAD WEEKLY rom (http://miuif.celogeek.com/5.9.10/xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_5.9.11_v7-5.0.zip)?

BUT, you said you don't want to have to flash a new ROM every week. The xiaomi.EU weekly ROMs are a beta ROM, they are not the same as the 'stable' ROM. I'm using the weekly version just fine, but there are a few bugs. This ROM may or may not suit your needs. Please be aware of that As soon as Xiaomi release the official stable International ROM with Gapps, that's the one you want (based on your stated requirements).
Thanks
So perhaps I'll wait, hopefully it will come up soon enough.
Hope the Chinese rom isn't too bad...

The first ROM I flashed was the stable ROM from MIUI.com. At the moment this is available as Chinese only (with only Chinese and English languages on board). It is also MIUI version 6 not 7. You do not need TWRP installed to flash this. You can just download it straight to internal storage, then use the Xiaomi updater app (which is already on the phone) to manually flash it. This ROM is not rooted.
Next I tried the weekly ROM from MIUI.com. At that point I incorrectly thought that it would be multi language, but it wasn't. It did at least have MIUI 7 on board though. TWRP is also not needed to flash this. This ROM is rooted. Root settings can be accessed via the Security app. You can also install SuperSU, grant it root access, then use it to control the root access of other apps if you wish. There are no Google apps on board. I was on n holiday at the time so I manually placed all the relevant files, set permissions and so on using ES File explorer that I side loaded and granted root privileges to. Yes, my girlfriend thought it was very romantic of me to spend a whole evening split between doing this and hunting some particularly aggressive mosquitoes trapped in our room. Only the best for my love.
Finally I downloaded the latest weekly (not stable) ROM from from Xiaomi.EU. As well as being a beta, it is not an official Xiaomi ROM. They do also have a stable ROM in offer, but it is not rooted. Basic Google apps are installed. TWRP is not needed here either. However, I installed it briefly to make a full backup of my phone, and a separate backup of the NVRAM portion of the device where the IMEI resides. Experience tells me this is important on an MTK phone in case the area becomes corrupt during an incorrect flash. You can also use SPFlash Tools to do this from a computer. Google the process, it's well worth being prepared. Damian Parsons over on GizBeat and China Phone Arena has done some useful tutorials with videos. Make sure you have the right version of SPFlash tools (which is not the same as MTKdroidtools -or something like that). I have only used a couple of times with my first two MTK phones so I don't know what version you need to use with this chipset.
For my purposes NONE of these ROMs actually fit the bill. Why? Because none of them so far allow me to select UK English as the default language or select the UK as the region I'm in. It's a small thing, but the last three Chinese phones I've had all suffered from the same problem. I end up rooting and using More Locales app to create a new default language code over and above selecting UK English in Google keyboard.
Once Xiaomi release an official global ROM the download page for the Note 2 will look like in the attached screenshot which shows the Mi4 page. Note the two tabs at the top, global and Chinese, in addition to the 'stable' and 'developer' sections down the left hand side.
Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong because I'm new to Xiaomi devices
Thanks for the detailed response.
Sounds like that for my purposes, and until an official rom is out, the easiest option is either the latest weekly or stable from xiaomi.eu.
I understand they can be installed using xiaomi updater as well?
Yes, you can install them the same way as official ROMs.

Also, when I received my phone there was a lot of non-MIUI related bloatware and possibly malware on board. It was multi language (with UK English as a built in option) but it all felt wrong, slow and dodgy. Reading elsewhere it was recommended the best thing to do was flash a ROM from a PC using the fastboot method to erase everything, then start from there. There are fastboot ROMs with instructions on the en.miui.com site. If you think you need to, you could flash via fastboot, then download your subsequent choice of ROM from xiaomi.EU and flash that however you please. As I was away (and impatient) I didn't do the first flash via fastboot. I just did a full wipe from the stock recovery, then put a ROM into internal memory, then flashed it from the stock recovery, then factory reset again. No idea if that was sufficient, but there's no sign of the extra apps any more.
You don't need TWRP

Thanks for the info, this is great for me. I will follow what you said regarding backing up this NVRAM you speak of, as I just read that the source code for the Helios X10 has been released, so we can expect more people including members of the HTC M9+ forum playing around with code.
It would be nice to have an option for UK English (or Australian English for me, to be precise) however I haven't noticed much of a difference, maybe because I have Swiftkey installed and that already has the correct language setting.

Changing the language to UK English is only part of the problem for me. Basically the phone thinks I'm in the U.S, or rather, that I have a U.S phone in the UK. This can cause problems within apps that want tailor content to my region code (or even deny me content). I've tried editing the build.prop a little, but it doesn't seem to help.
Mobile Uncle tools (free in Play Store) used to be able to back up one's IMEI number, but it didn't work on this phone. Dunno if that's because it runs lollipop. Anyway, that's why TWRP was handy and I will try using SPFlashTools again at some point.
Have where a Stock Image for the OP5?
International (OxygenOS 4.5.1) is not available for the moment (i think ~27 june), i chat with the support and they waiting for update their Website (links are always available but they don't want share them) )
Variant (H²O / HydrogenOS 3.5) is available but it's a offcial rom only with Chinese & English support, no Google Apps (but you can install Google Play without problem)
Chinese people manage a custom firmware for Nova Youth Edition. Actually it is our Huawei P10 lite and they have famous Kangvip rom.
Bellow you will find description translated by google.
Does anyone have account on baidu to download this Rom and reupload on Mega or something like that.
This is mentioned rom https://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-16514842-1-1.html
Use google translate to see how many improvement added, simply amazing.
And link for download on baidu

Thanks in advance!
On my way to download it right now. And then upload the ROM. How do we use it on LX1 if its for AL00?
L.E. Downloaded it successfully. Uploading on mega.nz right now. Also downloading a TWRP the chinese developers recommend for flashing.
L.E.2: Uploaded on Mega. Here is the ROM and here is the TWRP. The decription key for mega is available on request by PM. I had to pay for gold membership on Baidu to download it faster. Especially in Japan. No hard feelings but i work hard for my money.
Thank you for your efforts to do that but I didnt ask to anyone to pay for this. Anyone can download it using chrome skript extension baudu-dl. Google is your friend. Some guys tested, but google service doesnt work. I dont know how to enable it. I found gapps, I mean google services and apps flashable for p20l but for p10l i didnt. So, without google for me its useless. Also there is supersu instead Magisk and if you want to switch to Magisk you must donate and unlock premium KangV.....and tons of market addon pop up on screen in free version.... So its useless.
