[ROM][STOCK] Deodex Bases for Rom Development

Standard Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.

I have created a stock deodex bases, based on the latest releases every month, to flash as a standalone rom in twrp, or use as a base for custom roms. it is COMPLETELY STOCK, NO ROOT

Prerequisites:
An Essential Phone
Working adb/fastboot binaries, and drivers.
Bootloader unlocked and critical unlocked (Just like the BTS)
Working TWRP

Installation Instructions

1. Make sure your running the correct firmware for the release PRIOR to flashing. Make sure you have touch in TWRP prior
2. Boot to TWRP.
3. Flash the zip
4. Reboot.

This is a free-for-all zip, meaning i dont care if you modify it, pass it off to other groups, help anybody else, etc. Im NOT liable for any brickery, trickery, thickery, or otherwise.


Thanks:

My collection of BTS (Back to stock) zips. Mine wipe everything twice, and flash both slots. They include current working adb/fastboot binaries as well as a cmd prompt tool.

Bootloader need to be unlocked? Mine bricked I can't unlock again nor booting recovery.

It's just like the back to stocks. Same rules apply. Did you turn off OEM unlock

Yes by mistake. Now it's been 2 month not working. I can't do anything. It's just bricked.

Any advantage to flashing deodex vs keeping stock odexed ?

In theory, it would allow for better theming and easier ability to hardcode mods

OP updated with new deodex BTS for .141, as well as my collection of regular odexed back to stocks. Enjoy

Thank you for your contribution. I was wondering. I run stock, rooted, elemental X .234. it themes pretty well. Will it have better theming capabilities with the deodex rom? I know it said that deodex is better for theming and customizing but theme developers do such a good job theming Google apps as it is with some limitations like battery icons and such. So I was wondering if deodex would give it the capability. Thank you again.

It's a full BTS, like the BTS thread. All you need are system, boot, vendor really.

 

[DoR3M3]

Boot, vendor, modem, bluetooth, these are pretty self explanatory, I was hoping you could explain so the end-users besides myself understood what each of these others are?

Essential doesn't have these in their Fastboot ROM, so I was trying to understand why these are in these ROMS, and the differences?

So if you could give a break down on each, that would be great.

devcfg?
hyp?
keymaster?
mdtp?
mdtpsecapp?
pmic
rpm? - hmm rpm package management? As in rpm archives? http://rpm.org/
xbl?

Thanks
