I have received requests to customize the 1.72.187 UK ROM for Asian users. As requested, here it is.
This extended ROM is based on the latest UK release of 1.72.187, and was customized for asian users of the XDA II.
All the latest versions of the software in the base ROM are included, minus all O2 UK custom settings and software, however all configuration settings are set to the old Asian extended ROM version 1.60.44.
I also added the latest drivers/software for the Socket Communications SDIO Wifi card and the XDA II Thumb Keyboard which automatically install as a part of the post install tasks.
I had to remove the Java MIDlet Manager included in the base ROM since the size limit of the extended ROM was exceeded, and I also removed the O2 Active UI since it is customized for O2 UK users. I included the installer .CAB file for the MIDlet Manager in the .ZIP file so that it can be installed manually after the ROM upgrade if desired.
CHANGES from the other custom ROM (1.72.181):
1. Based on the UK ROM version 1.72.187
2. No Blackberry support
3. Added the ClearType font fix from ROM version 1.60.44
4. Added the Extended ROM Viewer patch (Extended ROM can now be seen in File Explorer)
I have already tested it on my Xda II and I had no problems with flashing it and I am currently experiencing no issues with it whatsoever.
THe download is available further down in this thread, I removed the old download because it was corrupted.

File was corrupted when I just downloaded it.

That's what I really need. Thanks so much.
Would you consider to put in the SRS rotation and key as well?
Also, can you provide a brief guide for how to install the file?
The files you attached is just the nbf file. Also, what's the use for the password?
Thanks again.

When the SRS backporting to the Xda II is at its most stable stage, I will include it in the extended ROM, as of now I feel its still unstable, although I feel that the guys working on it are doing an excellent job (my personal opinion).
To use the file is just 3 steps:
1. Extract the contents of the original UK ROM update (Xda_II_172187_Final.exe) into any directory of your choice with WinZip.
2. Extract the ms_.nbf from the custom ROM I posted into the same directory that you extracted the files from step 1, overwriting the original ms_.nbf.
3. Run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe executable to flash your device.
The password is for users whou would like to further customize the ROM where openning it up requires a password. I only posted the extended ROM since it was the only part of the original ROM that was customized, and posting the entire ROM would just result in a larger download.
Many thanks.
Understood now.
Tried the ROM but have problem with my C-guys wifi card....
Not sure whether it is the wlan software has some conflicts with the C-guys driver, have uninstalled the wlan software and will try the C-guys card again.
where can find the ROM?
Hi,
I tried to register, but the "Confirmation code: picture" appears as RED X.
Can someone show me where can I get this ROM without registering to this forum?
TIA

New Custom z7max ROM by BB72 & Cuoco92****
COMBO ROM Android L per Nubia Z7 Max
there are several versions all labelled as beta
all are multi lang and have g apps
COMBO ROM BETA1 Based on 3.09 UI 2.9
COMBO ROM BETA2 Based on 3.09 UI 2.9
COMBO ROM BETA1 Based on 3.15 UI 3.0
I am using the last one. very smooth. no issues as of yet. both sim working well.
this ROM ONLY for the new Android 5 file system
meaning MUST use Nubia android tool to update the file system this totally erases everything on the phone so
BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP ---- INCLUDING IMEI
(I recommend titanium. if doing nandroid backup it will be in the OLD file system so if your transition to new filesystem fails
will need to use Nubia tool to downgrade to old file system.)
Full credit and kudos to BB72 for his EXCELLENT work on this device
Link (in Italian can use google translate) to Androidiani Forums

Same Question about nubia forums. not clear
Hey guys,
I've created my own ROM by modifying a 5.0 stock one (deodexing, resigning and adding system apps). But the Android 5.1 OTA update keeps showing up (of course i can't update, because of the different signature).
So my question is: Is there a way to modify some config or delete something from the ROM files, for the system not to check for system updates?
Maybe the name of the ROM or something like that?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Vlad Ostrovski
Quick guide to utilize a rom for one variant of the Galaxy Alpha with another as long as it is based on the same processor (ex: G850F, G850M)
In the general development section it is clear that G850F from is used more often than the G850M roms. One of these modded roms is from citymen34 at this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...anrom-aroma-lollipop-v1-0-16-05-2015-t3109816
and I wanted to give some instructions on how to make the G850M work with that rom by modifying the ZIP file. I have asked for prior permission to allow the modification of the ZIP file otherwise I would not have posted this.
1. Download his rom (currently V2.5) and save a copy in a folder separate for later modification
2. Download the most current G850M official rom from Sammobile : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G850M/ (it has to be the LP version, currently 5.0.2)
3. Use 7-ZIP to open the samsung TAR file and locate the two files: modem.bin and boot.img and save them into the same folder as the modded rom from step 1
4. open the ZIP'ed modded rom also with 7-ZIP and navigate to the subfolder called 'ozcan'.
5. in that folder are the same file names boot.img and modem.bin that now need to be replaced with the ones we just extracted from the original G850M TAR file in step 3
6. now folllow the same instructions on citymen34's thread of the original rom by using TWRP
Two things that I have noticed:
1. My VM message counter is in a foreign language (not US English)
2. In the about screen the model number is now stated as G850F instead of G850M, however this is just a text not an actual indication that the hardware is now different
This is really useful. Have you flashed an 850f kernel?
If I could find a SM-G850T rom, you think it would work on a SM-G850M? Same processor for both, or so say the data sheets. Don't want LP, would want KitKat.
can work on g850Y?
how should i do ?
Please make a port
Why you do not ask permission to ozcan to make a port of his rom and compile in a flashable zip , the 850M, has nothing support we dont have any rom whit S6 goodness... PLEASE HELPS US.. SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
I am not yet updated to emui 10.1 and wants to get new system apps for my y9 prime. Anyone who is on 10.1 can get me the apps? Thanks.
I had (already) only updated the radio app.
Pls use apk extractor to extract the apk and attach the file to reply. Zip or separate apks via xda attach, google drive or any other drive is OK.
