The kernel that is included with this ROM is Franco Kernel. The way Franco Kernel is set up is that its encryptable, meaning it will not change your encryption status. If you're encrypted, you will remain encrypted and if you're unencrypted you'll remain unencrypted.
The ROM/Kernel does not touch your encryption at all, so don't worry about your phone being changed.
You flashed it this quick? I'll look into this feature and discuss with people whom I'm working with to see if it'd be worthy of having. The plan is to keep the ROM minimal but not super minimal.
Everything should work out of the box, I've tested it for over a week as well as including features on a nightly basis, so if you encounter any bugs at all. Please do report them.
The known bugs should be chromecast green screen as well as Netflix not working.
The Netflix workaround is to delete two lib files, I'll find the post now.
go to /vendor/lib/drm
add .bak extension to libdrmwvmplugin.so or delete it

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.
