@madvane20,
Wondering why the zip has system files in a system folder vs system.img as in the past? Is there any advantage to folders vs img method?

 

[madvane20]

i dont think it matters i might try system img but i think i can compress the zip smaller without system image. plus its how i been doing my roms i mean i can also do it another way but i mean it works. did u get updated successfully?

 

[divineBliss]

I didn't try updating yet. You could use the same logic about cust partition folder vs img - right. I suppose the system.img is a lot bigger, so folder saves more space.

Big reason I prefer to see system.img is so I can compare md5sums between backups and originals easily. If you have a system.img of B170 stock from @SuperBrolySSJ that you can upload separately, that would be great.

I need to clean my microSD and make B160 backups first before flashing B170, so won't be trying it for a while until I do that. I'll post after I try updating to B170.

i did have cust same way in folder in my swift n fast rom. btw his system image he removed certian stock files apps etc so i had to use some from b160 which work fine being they can be updated through gplay but yea i can give u his but his has removed apps etc. also i tried my update file before i even uploaded or posted it

 

[divineBliss]

So he didn't make a full stock B170 TWRP backup before modifying system partition, etc ?? That's too bad. I'm glad you mentioned this.

If anyone has a bone stock untouched B170 TWRP backup containing cust and system images, I hope they'll share it.

[madvane20]

it was just system apps that was easily fixed from b160 it works fully nothing wrong cust is all stock. u dont have to use it if u dont want too. it here for those who want to upgrade. i will be updating my rom soon to b170 since i have the files to do so. dont pick at if its bone stock cause honestly it is stock cause i readded the missing apps which from what i saw didnt change was att apps in such nothing major but i made sure everything was stock. for those who want the update it is fully working stock. so enjoy. also if u are running my rom i will have that updated soon

 

[madvane20]

also if u think a complete untouched backup will let u do otas it wont work. tried on all the earlier versions from b130 to b160 so it works its stock enjoy

for building a custom rom, of of aosp source, do you just pick a nexus device or what? i have the vendor blobs and everything, not the device tree yet, but i dont know which i use to start the build. i would like to learn just not sure where to start. i have some experience with linux as well. just need a starting point lol

 

[madvane20]

well i took a break but to be able to build any rom we have to build a device tree. since we only have kernel source for marshmellow we could make roms for it when i get back to it im working on a device tree and kernel for android n for like lineage

 

[divineBliss]

I think it makes more sense to ask about this ROM in this thread vs the other one so...

Is it necessary to be on any specific ROM configuration/version (aside from having TWRP installed) for us to successfully flash the B180 stock ROM you posted in the OP?

If I'm using B160 rooted debloated, can I still update to B180 stock using your B180 stock zip? I understand I would lose root, but that's fine.

 

[madvane20]

the stock b180 is prerooted with magisk but u will still need to reflash it with twrp to get the app etc im working on fixing it is wifi broke if so let me know cause i will redo the rom
