[ROM] VanillaAOSP [Android 5.1.1_r13 LVY48E][Aug 17, 2015] - Nexus 5 Android Development

VanillaAOSP​
This ROM is built straight from Google sources without any changes/modifications.
Please feel free to flash it on your device or use it as a base for your own custom ROM if need be.
I don't plan on making any changes to the ROM or adding any features etc. I usually run the factory image on my device unrooted a lot of the time. I just love the vanilla android simplicity and ease of use. I also really enjoy AOSP as well, so vanilla AOSP works for me. Enjoy.
Instructions​
1. Have the latest TWRP installed on your device
2. Full wipe if coming from another ROM (make sure not to wipe internal storage)
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash Gapps
5. Flash SuperSU
6. Enjoy

The factory image from Google comes with all Google proprietary apps and services pre installed.
ROMs built from AOSP source don't have any Google apps installed at all. All the apps are open source. So there is AOSP calendar, AOSP Dialer, AOSP Gallery, AOSP Camera, Keyboard etc etc.
If you want Google apps you can flash separately in a custom recovery.

What gapps do you recommend? Or what gapps are you using?

Finally I was searching a ROM like this one, I hope you update it when there is a new release.

I use the SimpleAOSP L Gapps. But any Lollipop Gapps should be fine. Link below for SimpleAOSP L Gapps

Thanks for the reply. Question about those Gapps. Does it include HDR+?

I am going to try and keep up to date. If 5.0.0_r8 is uploaded to AOSP I will try to provide an update, time permitting.

So to be clear, this has just AOSP GApps right? Will GApps remove the AOSP apps when flashed?
Thanks in advanced!

Nice one @Chochiwpg

The ROM itself comes with AOSP camera which does not have HDR+. The Gapps package also does not include Google Camera. However, Google Camera can be downloaded from the at Store and it does provide HDR+ capabilities. I just tried it out and it worked. Thanks.

I guess it depends which Gapps package you choose to flash whether it removes the AOSP apps. The SimpleAOSP Gapps I linked to earlier does not remove the AOSP apps. If I am not mistaken I believe PA Gapps will remove AOSP apps. So depends what you want and which gapps you choose to use. Whichever suits you best.

Did you check to make sure your ROM download MD5 matches the md5 in the OP? I have flashed a couple times already without issue. Boots into Android and everything is functioning.
