About a week ago or so OTA update feature was added to the popular MIUI ROM. But I still see people releasing their own versions of the ROM.
So I'd like to know what happens if I download the OTA update directly from MIUI? I assume it will go back to chinese but can't I just install the language pack provided by custom ROM builders?
Can we Update any Custom ROM OTA? as same applicable for stock ROM where we gets update notification & it does update itself ?
coz i just worried abt latest updates which aren't always readily available for custom roms in Cwm format,where in stock rooted ROM the update can be done by temp. unrooting & flashing back stock recovery.
So, any1 understand or gone through this issue plz help me forward to proceed .
yes i will be implementing my roms with GOOMANAGER which will say when a rom is offered OTA
hmm! thanks for the reply dude!
bt i need to know now is bcoz all custom ROMS available are having v.2.22.xxx.x, & in India i've stock updated with v2.24.xxx.x, So can i get/apply the same update OTA on any custom ROM or ur cm9 also now?
if yes then how?( it would be AWeSomE.)
No only pure stock ROMs can receive OTA updates.
OK got it. :good:
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to the community of everything rooting and post rooting. I have recently rooted my N7 2013 running 4.2.2 and flashed TWRP recovery/SuperUser by Chainfire/AOSP PA 4Beta ROM.
While I now understands how to update the ROM and how to get out of a bootloop and other similar rooting circumstances, I need help understanding the procedures involved in the below scenario :-
Should Android get an incremental or a major update,
1. Should I first update the Stock ROM followed by reflashing the custom ROM or just wait for the custom ROM to release their compatible update?
2. Should the Superuser have an update, that does have to be updated from Play Store or the update needs to be flashed? Also, does TWRP needs to be updated if there's an update because I have heard that some ROMs are compatible with recoveries from a specific versions? Is this true?
3. Is updating radios really necessary? Will updating the radios cause it to malfunction? What is the procedure if this needs to be done?
4. What do I do if I wish to chuck the custom ROM and return to stock ROM or what is called un-rooting?
If there's something I missed out on asking but needs to be done, please point me in that direction as well!
Thanks
Regards
Karthik

Bit of a noob question, but before I rooted/flashed custom firmware my stock firmware was 1.54.651.8. At some point I'm going to have to update it, so it works with new roms right? Also, how do I go about updating without loosing my root?
The devs of any rom worth flashing always incorporate the latest stock updates into a new version of their rom.
Most custom roms update monthly. HTC updates... what? Every 6 month?
Just stick with the custom rom you like and rest assured - your not missing out on anything the stock rom may have to offer. But if you feel the need, just RUU back to stock....

I'm curious which ROM for the Sprint Galaxy Note 4 is currently best for day to day use?
I would love to use a clean CM ROM, but the CM ROMs I've tried seem to have random little bugs, which after weeks of use become very annoying. I haven't tested many TouchWiz ROMs for the Note 4, which is why I'm making this post.
Question 1:Simply, which ROM(s) are most stable currently? I would just test them myself but the last few weeks I've become extremely busy and I just don't have the time to test many different ROMs.
Questions 2: Are you using a custom ROM? If so, which, and how long have you been using it?
Thanks! ((((((
You're not providing enough information to answer the question. Custom ROMs based on OB7 or lower are not compatible with OE1 and OF5 builds. Nor can those be downgraded without great consequence. For reference, OB7 is the initial Lollipop build.
What's your build number by last 3 digits? Be careful if on those or taking OTA to those if custom is your primary interest. Xposed it's another similar issue but limited to deodexed ROMs if you're talking about TW Lollipop.
Custom ROMs will come for OF5. Patience.

I also have the same question but do not know what an OTA, OE1, OF5, OB7 are. I am rooted but never flashed a rom before I am on the galaxy note 4 910P 6.0.1 PD1 build. I want a stable rom for everyday use.

OTA is short for Over The Air. It's typically referred to as an update build which is what the others are.
Builds or updates increase numerically. To shorten the update in full, the last three digits are typically accepted here as a quick reference to save time.
For example, so far, the Sprint Note 4 has had 3 official updates including the first which was PC1. Then there was PD1 and just this week, PE1 became available. Typically OTA update is available first, followed by a full tar at some point.
OTA updates, if taken, are taken incrementally one after the other without skipping because they patch the previous update. It's the system update method found in Settings menu that you're most likely familiar with.
The tar updates are full updates and can be flashed (Odin is the application for that) out of sequence, if bootloader allows the flash. The bootloader may block install if reactivation lock (aka factory reset protection) is set or tripped or if a lesser security bootloader of a lower build is attempted. For example, you cannot go back to Android 5.0 or 4.4 using Odin to flash the tar; the bootloader would prevent downgrade to lower security bootloader. Rooted users may flash full tars to update or revert to stock to take the next OTA update but modified partitions can and most often will prohibit OTA update. There's also a baseband and bootloader thread in development for those that know what to do with them to assist in compatibility of current build in TWRP backup.
As for custom stock ROMs, I can say they're in development but one mostly stock PD1 ROM exists. Developer tools have slowed the advance of touchwiz stock developed Marshmallow ROMs so it's hard to predict their availability.
Since we just got an update, it may be longer now than thought possible for a custom ROM on PE1 update. CM ROMs are available but they may lack S-Pen and touchwiz features found in stock. You can find released ROMs in the development forum. If interested, follow the OP (original post or post # 1) for install directions and known issues. Search the thread for resolution and known issues before asking questions. Development forums have different rules and practices; you should stay on topic of development, failure resolution and help and search before asking the same question and avoid quoting long OP posts to ask a question. You may read the sticky threads in forums for more information.
