Awesome news, my N6 should b arriving this week. What root method does this tool use? Custom kernel or is it using the SuperSU 2.27beta?

Custom kernel. I think it is the better option in the long run because google can easily patch the method that Chainfire uses now. The kernel method, however, is very unlikely to be patched. This will patch whatever kernel you want to use though, so you'll be fine!
Sweet! Just wondering, do you think it would be possible to bundle in a decryption feature as well?
Not really original development

@Xileforce Already in there in v0.10!
@paychex
According to XDA it is! The "Original elements": Device decryption for N6 and N9, supports every single Nexus device, offers a ROM installer for compatible devices, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112240
The following are most likely “Original Development”:
*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

When that day comes, let me know how it works!
Ive still never fully grasped how to use adb on Mac. Ive got the file downloaded and on my desktop and have terminal cd'd to the file correctly and when I enter "chmod +x Nexus-Multitool.sh" it tells me there is no such file or directory...any help is appreciated.
Photonicgeek, will this interfere with adb/fastboot packages I already have installed or will it operate separately ? (Linux)
Thanks

Google has recently released the 3.10 linux kernel for Android. and CodeAurora has also got it. I was wondering if it's realistic to port in this phase. I tried to but I failed hard lol. Main reason to port the 3.10 series is that it should have a great battery life. I'm not sure whether it will run on KitKat since it's supposed to be for Android 5.0.
Links:
Google Kernel: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git/+/experimental/android-3.10
CodeAurora Kernel: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.10
Anyone else attempted? If anyone could give me some more info about this I would be very happy!
Thread cleaned

Keep this damn soap opera drama OFF XDA and stick to your Google +
How rude to bring all this crap in here to the OP's discussion

From my experience i know that binary compatibility between linux kernel versions (even between minor versions) is the latest thing developers care about. Even if you make this kernel work on i9505 i doubt u will be able to use binaries (those /system/lib/*.so files) from any existing ROM and thus u won't be able to make ROM with this kernel.
Need to wait when Samsung will move to this kernel version, but i'm affraid it won't happen on any existing phone. Usually, Samsung stick on the kernel version phone launched.

It's possible that CAF updated their repos or AOSP for the 3.10 kernel. There's references to 3.12 at master in bionic.
broodplank1337, what happens if you build a recovery and fastboot boot that?

Doesn't AOSP use any libraries from stock ROM?
I didn't try AOSP, but CM usually required many libraries from stock ROM last time i've tried (couple years ago).

Yeah, there's a bunch of proprietary files specific to the SOC.
It's not as simple as the code existing on CAF, the device branch for your specific SoC needs it as well.
Of course, one could do this manually, but the effort and skills required is not trivial.

True. Caf does have some 3.10 device branches but none for 8960/8064, since those are not supported. Not sure why since they do support weaker chips such as 8226 and 8610. They do have some ramdisk changes for 3.10, but even with all that, I have no adb and no ramconsole on the optimus g (nexus 4).

The only things I'd really want out of a >3.4 kernel is dma_buf support, the msm drm, and Freedreno
Maybe it would be easier to backport these features since by themselves they go a long way to making desktop Linux on our phones easier

We have offloaded all audio processing and mp3 decoding to the DSP. Thus allowing all 4 primary cores to sleep while playing audio. Media player app itself may use CPU cycles for UI updates when the screen is on. Working on WMA decoding...

please make this kernel work with miui rom!
So after years of flashing ROMs and kernels and owning so many android devices, some may call me crazy, I've finally decided to make a ROM for myself and share it with the public on XDA!
This ROM is all about simplicity, lightweight, being equipped with the right software, no crashes, speed, a nice minimal default theme, yadda yadda yadda.
I'll be posting nightly releases until I get everything just right, in the meantime hopefully by sharing these builds, I can get some feedback from you guys.
What works? Everything. What doesn't work? Nada.
Screenshots available in the screenshots section (link above post)
Latest Release: 1.0.2 - DOWNLOAD LINK
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=30025
Make sure to flash SuperSU afterwards if you would like root.
Comes with ZenKernelv17 boot.img built-in, and I *highly", recommend you leave it at that.
Check the ZenKernel thread for updates:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/orig-development/3-10-zen1-dollar-drink-night-bfs-msm-t3062814
The default settings are all good. Double-tap to wake is enabled by default.
I promise, next release I'll also put up a thank-you list to a few developers out there! Enjoy

Looks epic, but what is "zen kernel"?
Check out the thread in the OP I linked it. Its kinda like replacing a v6 mustang engine with a v8 that uses up half the gas for some odd reason o.0

How did you get into making the ROM did you follow a guide or? How hard is it I'd like to have a go my self
Well it depends if you want to build an AOSP ROM from source or just base it off stock like I did. This project originally started with AOSP but then I converted most of my changes into stock.
i love double tap to wake. did you add anything for screen off. i am liking long-press back.:good:

okay so, how would i go about just basing it off stock?
Well first thing you'll want to do is set up this tool called "apktool" I don't know if there are easier ways nowadays but that's what I use. Its a Java app so it'll work on any OS you're running.. What OS do you have running on your computer?
Actually long press back was supposed to be released on my next nightly.. Did I upload the wrong build? Lol I have builds scattered all around my desktop and documents folder, I usually look for the newest one by sorting by date modified lol really confusing.
Thing is, because this project started off AOSP, I used some files and apps from AOSP and mixed it in with stock ROM after stripping it down, that's how ingot the web browser and stuff, but other than that, its mostly using apktool to edit files ..
And knowing what files do in a ROM, knowing what they're used for, knowing what you can remove or add, I think building a ROM from source will teach you a lot, there's a good guide I used for that by Stephen, you can search for the thread

Anyone know how to disable double tap to wake as i have no need for it. Tried different kernel managers but settings don't stick. I looked in his kernel thread but didn't find anything. Any help in permanently turning this kernel feature off appreciated.

UltimaROM-Shamu
Information
Welcome to UltimaROM. Some of you may know me from the S3 and S4, some of you may not. This is the first time I've managed to get UltimaROM on an actual Nexus device, despite spending a long time on TouchWiz devices, making them more AOSP-like.
I got this device a couple of days ago, so bare with me while I acclimatise!
Features
OTA Updates (handled by RomHut)
Forced encryption disabled (requires data wipe once)
Stock kernel (for now, you may choose another)
Xposed
Xposed is not supported. You may install it. It may work. But I will not support any Xposed related questions or requests. I will never bundle it with the ROM.
Download
Android Lollipop 5.1.1
Download UltimaROM-Shamu 20150630 here

Github: here
Note:
SuperSU is not included by default. I toyed with this idea, and figured it best to leave that up to you to root if you so wish. Many of the intended features of this ROM will work ok without root.
Installation instructions
TWRP 2.8.7.1 or greater is preferred. CWM should be considered "abandoned" these days
Copy the ROM files to your device (I prefer to keep a folder especially for anything ROM related)
Choose "install" in TWRP
Locate this ROM
(Optional) Queue up some other files like SuperSU

It's literally just a stock ROM right now, as you can see from the changelog. But you have the OTA app if you install and will get OTA's as and when I update with newer features I will deodex, debloat and start adding some proper features soon, I was just excited to post an UltimaROM thread again!
I'm in!
Loved your stuff for my old S4. Awesome to see you in a N6 now!
Think I'm going to give this a go. One question in future of the development are you going to be a adding a theme engine. If so will it be CM or Layers. I only ask as I almost always use layers. Many thanks

Yep, but I really need to get the LYZ28E build deodexed to be able to do anything meaningful with the ROM. Hoping the guys that did the three Deodex'd build will be willing to share their method.

I didn't, but I have now. Erm, AFAIK, there is no way to use CM Theme Engine on these ROMs. I'd like to get Layers working as I intend on theming some apps myself.

If you add layers to it then I will 100% stick with you for it. The guy who brought layers to android is on G+ and from all accounts a really good guy. I'll link you to his community so you can have a look.

Matt, too the best of my knowledge, it would be an almost insurmountable challenge to get stock 5.1.1 in a position to support layers...it's either hard coded themed stock apps or an AOSP based rom if you want a theme platform.
With the advent of M, all of this changes, as RRO appears to be inclusive, so Layers and other platforms that take advantage RRO will work natively.
Ask @daveyannihilation, as I'm certain that he'd love to drone on endlessly about what an incredible guy he is.

It was a fun round of unofficial nightlies but the official upstream CM13 builder for shamu is active! Please use the new download links below to grab the official nightlies. Dirty flash seems to work fine if you go from my unofficial 11-29 build to the official 11-30 one. As mentioned in the first post, I will be ceasing my personal builds for now and leave it to the CM team.
Notes: CyanogenMod's stock kernel forces encryption of storage. Please download one of the third party kernels if you wish to avoid this. Also this thread assumes you have kept up to date with bootloaders and radio. At the time of writing, the latest is from the MRA58K release and can be downloaded here.

Correct, but not nightly and as far as I can tell albinoman887 is also making fixes which implies altering of upstream code. My thread intends to serve as a purely upstream source build.

I would like to say thank you, and I believe that this ROM deserves its own thread respectfully. Since there isn't much action from that other Alpha build and if you are truly building on a nightly basis then this is much appreciated and I look forward to testing.

Thanks for the support and glad to build it. Just to make sure credit is given where due, any bug fixes will be made only by the CyanogenMod team and/or any git contributors. Not sure if you'll get much support from me either but I'll certainly be glad to give any tips I find. For example, if this one specific bug rears its ugly head again, you may need to rename the SetupWizard apk inside /system/app-priv/ as that has been constantly force closing for me prior to today's build.

No support for me no problem , only 1 builds in 3 Weeks in this early stage is a problem , thats what i mean . I have at the moment zero time , i am one day in the week at home and thats time for my son and my wife

No features added whatsoever If they add it upstream (included in CM) it'll be here, otherwise no. Absolutely stock. Consider me a third party buildbot slave
Very nice ROM. Just to let everyone know I just finished flashing with the Open GApps Pico and it's working fine. I know, it's bad form to use something that's not recommended.
One quick question, do we get any notification that the new nightly is ready to flash or do we just check the download site?

For now just the download site. I may setup something similar to the pushbullet feed Chroma has if people are interested but haven't spent the time to do it yet. New 11-23 build is up now though
Edit: Woot, looks like they fixed the system rw mounting. Hm but my test file disappeared on reboot.. maybe not yet
This is a bit different than most postings here, as I'm not directly providing any binaries to install on your phone and instead providing a simple tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, to build your own customized ROM based with latest AOSP on a regular basis, with your own signing keys, and your own OTA updates. This probably will be interesting to a small subset of users as it requires some technical knowledge and costs money to run this infrastructure in AWS to produce your own builds.

This will look exactly like stock AOSP because that's what it builds by default unless you use ability to customize the OS.

Sorry that is a bad copy paste from other newer Pixel devices. The prebuilt AOSP kernel will be at 3.18 for this device.

Thanks for the clarification. The concept is fascinating. I might get AWS when my GCP expires. I'm interested in how you automatically merge patches and updates for monthly OTA's with no human intervention for resolving conflicts.
Hello! but how to install it?

I wish I could say it does something really fancy to ensure patches can be cleanly applied each month, but really it just takes whatever patches you have selected and applies them. This in my experience has worked without issues with each major release of Android as generally there isn't large code changes within .a major release that would affect a patch. The other problem in this area I have not come up with a good solution for is if you are applying multiple patches that are acting on the same file you can run into issues.

After using the rattlesnakeos-stack tool to build your own OS, you get a factory image that can be flashed on your device. All of this is documented here: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack.

It seems quite reasonable to just apply the patches one at a time if in doubt and if there are not an overly large number of patches hitting at the same time.
Hello, I'm rather familiar with normal ROM building, I'm interested in what changes does this stack patch to AOSP source,
after digging around, I found this, but I wonder if this is all?
Thanks

Yep, that one file is the entire build script and that section is all the patching. Let me know if you have any questions.
