Interesting. Dmitry Grinberg released instructions for building Marshmallow for the 2012 Nexus 7.

The ROM is already complete I'm posting it on xda to see if it could get some attention and if it
does get some attention I will post download links.

but i got out of it by re-flashing in the correct order

wow, nothing than a Android 5.0.2 build renamed to 6.0. Why?
1st: at "about tablet", Marshmallow has a Android Security Patch information
2nd: Mashmallow has wifi network list in quick settings, similar to 5.1. yours doesn't have any.
3rd: if you look at "Android System" - app, you see version 5.0.2
4th: you can slide up the home key to open google search, which was removed in 6.0
5th: there is no multiwindow in developer settings (and NO, there is no hardware (power) missing for that)

The ROM works pretty well. Its fast and stable. I found 2 issues:
1) camera crashes always -> not working
2) audio and microphone only works after a headphone was plugged in once after every reboot


If these 2 issues are solved at some point, it will be my choice for daily use.

Btw. I flashed it with fastboot and TWRP. Fastboot seems to be the better way.

90% for android m features do not work in the nexus 7 2012 because of hardware requarements, so most things wont show up

Thank you for using my rom
*the camera should work for taking pictures but for video it will crash but skype is fine and works perfectly
*audio and sound work on mine nexus 7 using the rom (i will look in to that and get it fixed in the next update

the next update will come out when android 6.0.1 will come out, if that dosnt work try using audio FX in the app drawer instead or using the scock equalizer instead if audio fx is turned on .

many thanks,
Ramon

Fast, Fluid, stable

been using the rom for a few hours now and it is the bae of roms
this guy did an amazing rom its really fast and stable , the only bug i have is that the camera app crashes when you try to video but skype works fine.
if you try to install the 6.0 gapps it will force crash and give you problems, just flash the 5.0.2 gapps witch work the best out of all of them, battery life has been amazing and it charges really quick. overall an amazing rom that should get way more attention and i am now using this as my daily rom and started to pick my nexus 7 up instaed of my nexus 9.
thanks alot you have bread new life into my old tablet.

many thanks ,
Tom

Did you do anything special? Skype isn´t working on my Nexus either. Thats actually the only thing I need the camera for. How did u flash (fastboot or TWRP)?

Kid, even if it would be that case, the app "android system"'s version would be 6.0. You just built android 5, and setting its version code to 6.0 and adding the new boot animation in 2nd zip. Also, in build.prop, you have api version 21 and build fingerprint is also LRX21P / 5.0. Don't think I'm an idiot.

Or tell me why all those features aren't working in your ROM, but in real Marshmallow port by dmitrygr they do work.

Must have rom!!

This rom is epic,
i have a nexus 7 and this is amazing makes it so fast, the lollipop update made it so slow it was sh*t, BUT THIS(is amazing ) ,it fast,stable and the new features
are the best, battery life is really good and the animations are always flowing at 30fps, ram usage is really low and so is cpu usage.
BEST ROM EVER, MUST HAVE IF YOU OWN NEXUS 7
