Great job! Works great. Looks like untouched Google Image for N5 but it is for mako! No issues. Thank you.

if you dont want to loose everything you need to delete the data partition from the occam-krt16s.zip in the tar.gz file!

EDIT: will make a second version for users which dont like to loose data stuff

EDIT 2: building a new aosp libart atm ;) to get whatsapp and so on fixed ...

Clean as hell. Works great. "Building a new ASOP libart", means that there will be updated version? Is there something wrong with current one?

yes! whatsapp/titanium backup does not work on art, so i compiled a fresh one from android-4.4_1.2 tag libart library which imcludes fixes so whatsapp and titanium backup run properly on art runtime

Is it hard to integrate .sh file with ROM? I am still experiencing issues with WiFi connection at home. I have TP-Link TL-WDR4300 and since I got my Nexus 4, it always had some issues with connecting to WiFi. Some ROMs have the newer driver integrated but Google still uses old one. Here is the link to newer binary, but it is hard to integrate it. Even on rooted phone. :/

i dont know from where you got this information, the sh file is a script ehich extracts various binaries/prebuilts for mako! those are also included in the latest version of android by google

Nice work man!

As you reffer to the rom like a alternative factory image. Just some noob question:

I need to root to flash that rom? Or I can install it throw adb just like a normal google release?
Can relock my bootloader after the process is done?
Do you think I will get OTA updates from google after flashing that rom?

thanks man.
