[ROM] &#9658; [8.1.0_r43] &#9658; [mako] &#9658; Nitrogen OS Oreo &#9658; Substratum &#9658; (07.August.2018)


  • For devices: E975, E975K/R/T, E977, E987, F180S/L/K, MAKO, Hammerhead, Shamu.
  • Source code: https://github.com/nitrogen-project | https://github.com/nitrogen-devs
  • Developers: @xyyx
  • Thanks: @Ziyan for his work on mako and supporting me during Oreo builds :good:
  • Google Apps: GZR zero gapps from here
  • Recovery: TWRP



The rich functionality is based on AOSP, development was begun in September, 2016.


xyyx (Max) - main developer


  • Boot to TWRP and wipe everything except internal storage (do this by selecting each partition and NOT factory reset)
  • Flash ROM Zip
  • Flash 8.1 arm ZERO gapps by GZR team (details about gapps are here)
  • If you want to have root access, flash latest Magisk (I tested with 16.x)
  • If you want to pass the safetynet, flash the safetynet fix from here.
  • Reboot the phone, set it up
  • Enjoy








If you are not indifferent, and you like our work, you can always support us. This will give us the incentive to make more and more opportunities in our firmware.

Gmail works without any issue, see attached screenshot.

Yes, video recorded via camera are not opening... It should be fixed in future builds. Apart from this I don't have any issue.

Hey hi, nice to see you here....

As you have nandroid backup, do this: Wipe everything except internal storage and then flash ROM, gapps and supersu.

It will work smoothly!

First of all... Thanks buddy for bringing Nougat Custom ROM to our beloved Nexus 4... Truly loving this [emoji7]
@zaclimon brought us first ever daily driver rom & now you developer folks are adding features over it... You all are Amazing guys!!

I can see "volume rocker wake" in screen shots... I was absolutely missing this one from MM rom :) ..
Wants to try this ROM...But I have 125+ apps already installed so do not want start from scratch (clean) .... So can you tell me below steps will help to keep all apps (data 4.5 gb actually) & only replacing system partition will works for me....

1. Nandroid backup of existing rom (boot + system)
2. Wipe boot, system, dalvik & cache (not Data)
3. Install Nitrogen-os + gapp + super-su
4. Wipe dalvik & cache
5. Reboot

Please suggest....

@nitin.chobhe are you planing on bringing OTA on this ROM as well as on the Android 6 based one. I'm maintaining the two major of my girlfriends parents. Her dad uses Chroma ATM, and her mom Nitrogen as it comes with OTA which she's in need of, as she doesn't know to much about flashing and all that's around. Would be great as I could upgrade her phone next time I'll see her.

This *might* work... But I always preach (and practice) clean flash ;)

Considering the number if apps you have, I would advise you to backup all your apps + app data with titanium backup, flash rom, gapps, SuperSU and restore back the apps...

I'm not sure about this. This depends on the dev (I've just adopted the ROM for mako)....

Having said that I saw the commits related to ota; but no promises and ETA :)

I install substratum and Deity theme, after install mods of Deity theme , my device no starts more, why?
Check with diety theme if it's ready for N

I have a question: can I flash roms on a optimus g with a shattered screen without working touch? I now have a g5 but I wanna test this on my e975. I have a otg cable and with a usb mouse i can still use my g. TWRP also recognizes the mouse, is there any other thing that doesn't allow usb mouses? I'm now running twrp with nitrogenOS and nitrogenex. Thanks in advance

This is a Nexus 4 ROM. It sure won't work on a LG G5 mate. Search in dedicated device forum if an appropriate ROM is available for your device.
