do i need to install dm verity if I'm installing custom rom

 

[sakumaxp]

No

 

[Rebel7022]

No

So i just unlock bootloader, install twrp and boot it, and just do a full wipe then install my rom. So dm verity is for oos only?

I mean DM verity doesn't do much really, it's just an extra push of the power button or extra 5 seconds.

You really should learn a little more before diving down the rabbit hole. You'll save yourself some trouble (and probably some money too) if you learn what it is you're doing before you make a mistake and break your phone.

DM-verity is a security feature implemented by Google to verify the integrity of the system before it allows the device to boot. While it's a little more complicated than that, that's dm-verity in a nutshell. The reason Google implemented dm-verity is because of Android Pay. If dm-verity is triggered, then it may allow a device to boot, but it will disable Android Pay among other things for security reasons.

I just want to flash a bunch of roms when my phone gets delivered, but before flashing my first rom should i flash the dm verity zip? or do you only flash that zip with oos.

Like I said, do some reading. There are more than a couple threads dealing with dm-verity in the Guides, News, and Discussion subforum. You don't have to flash anything to do with dm-verity in order to flash roms.

I promise you, eventually you'll do something you shouldn't if you don't educate yourself and familiarize yourself with these things. Save yourself the trouble and read, read, read!!! If you still have questions, then ask. You'll get better responses if you at least take the time to understand these things just a little bit.

I've been reading pages of forums for two days now, I'm coming from a oneplus two, I like to flash roms allot. I'm trying to educate my self. So i install twrp and my rom and forget dm verity? So if I never plan to run oxygen I never have to worry about dm verity? thanks for your help,

You don't have to worry about it all, really. Unless you use Android Pay, then ignore it.

Apparently, you guys forgot how awkward you were when you first started rooting your phones. Give the noobie a break.

And also buy yourself an otg cable and a USB flash drive in case your get encrypted and have to wipe your full system like, at least you'll have a back up or firmware you can flash

You can backup over MTP on your computer with TWRP 3.1.0-1. Much more convenient IMO.
