Its weird, I did that and I haven't had any issues. I went back to stock 5.0.1 using the factory image then I went to 5.1 using the OTA zip then I went back to stock 5.0.1 using the factory image again and now I'm back on Chroma. I wonder if those people used the factory image of 5.1? I asked in another thread, waiting to hear a response.

We need rsdlite for this. Someone posted the DL for the file for rsd but that is what moto would do with the phone. Had to do it a lot with the OG droid.
Noted. I flashed the 5.1 bootloader and modem yesterday and haven't run into any problems. That's probably because I haven't made any changes since. I don't plan to now that I've read this tidbit of info, at least until a 5.1 ROM is built.
Here's a little sneak peek, it's not a final build. It is a barebones AOSP build with just templates for Chroma related options. There are some features on it but not too many, I forget which ones. FULL WIPE NEEDED

THIS IS NOT A FINAL RELEASE, NO BUG REPORTS. NO FEATURE REQUESTS.
BAREBONES AOSP + CHROMA MENU template + some other features
I'll have a little something more complete later today or tomorrow, hopefully. When that build comes out, you can dirty flash on top of this build.

For the people with 5.1 factory image who are going to unlock the boot loader, make sure OEM Unlocking is enabled in developer settings or else you will be stuck in bootloop

Indeed, I got a buddy that forgot to check that box and is now waiting for a replacement device, fastboot and sideloading won't fix the issue, he's tried everything suggested, bootloop heaven for his N6.
Check that box peeps!
I can't wait...will flash in a few....doing everything through twrp.....
Thanx @zephiK

I flashed the bootloader and radio yesterday and data for me sucked on the new radio so I flashed back the old radio I should still have the boot loader right so no need to flash it or do I have to flash over? Thanks.
You'll still have the old bootloader, you should really try the new radio again on a 5.1 ROM. The 5.1 radio is best suited for the 5.1 ROM.
Full wipe is required, it might work on old 5.0.2, it might not. ROM is on a new base.
The purpose of that zip is for people who want to use 5.1, it doesn't have all the Chroma goodies you're accustomed to. It'll come as time passes by. I already have a newer local build that isn't ready for prime time, it has a lot of features. I'll probably put that out maybe later today or tomorrow, whenever I feel that it is stable enough.

I'm so content with the last 5.02 build like i mentioned the other day ill let the impatient folks fall into the tar pits.
5.1
Haven't been able to get it to fully boot restarts after optimizing apps.
Gapps fail when trying to flash
Says:
PA GApps can ONLY be installed on top of an existing installation of PA GApps. You must wipe (format) your system partition BEFORE installing any PA GApps package.
Edit________
Got gapps to flash. You have to wipe system not just data

583OFFICIAL WARNING
Chroma is a lightweight AOSP ROM focused on battery, performance and stability.
The philosophy of Chroma is to stay relatively close to Google's stock Marshmallow with the additions of essential features that should have been included with stock Marshmallow as well as providing the most up-to-date security patches.
Features:
Special thanks to:
- People who have tipped/donated to me to support ongoing development
- Sykopompos for being a good friend
- CyanogenMod as well as the open source community
Instructions
Pre-requisites: unlocked bootloader, latest TWRP recovery
1. Download ROM, Gapps and put it on the phone's internal storage.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery.
3. Coming from a different ROM? Perform a factory reset using TWRP and wipe /system in Advanced wipe. If you're upgrading from Chroma ROM, proceed to dirty flash (nandroid backup before flashing is a good idea)

Last build, going to take a break from development. Enjoy the last bits that I was working on.70Well guys,
It's been quite the adventure in the Lollipop series. This was my first ROM in general and I've learned many new things, I was surprised to see the success of Chroma ROM especially on the Nexus 6. 09/27/2015 will be the final build from me in the Lollipop series. If Marshmallow gets delayed or any hotfixes needed to be made in 09/27/2015 build then I will push another update but for the most part this is the final build.
Chroma will continue with the Marshmallow series when the source code becomes available. Be sure to check out Google's announcement on September 29th on more details about Marshmallow and the new Nexus devices. The only device that is confirmed for Chroma Marshmallow is the Nexus 6 (2014). There is a good chance that the new Nexus devices in 2015 will be supported but my priority will be supporting the device that I use on a daily basis which is the Nexus 6 (I might upgrade to a Nexus 6P).
Chroma will only get better in Marshmallow and I hope to follow the same core philosophy that you all have become accustomed to in the Lollipop builds. Either way, enough ranting! Here's the last build. Similarly to the previous builds, just a maintenance build and nothing "explosive" when it comes to feature sets.
