Going to flash this, love your work on layers. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this!

Edit: It booted, with a little bit of nostalgia, lollipop boot animation with a twist. nice! However it went straight into "android is optimizing" even after a clean flash. Will report back after I've played a little.

Did you make sure to wipe your caches? Coming from the factory image, you should mount your system in twrp, wipe it, wipe dalvik and dalik-caches and most likely data

I'm working on fixing the camera, didn't realize it was broken till I took a actual picture (I just loaded it up and checked but didn't take a picture)

I have to take a look at what flar is doing on the 5x




Nice work, installed correctly. Sound levels is very low tho.


We used to have to change out some files on the n5, probably is that.
I'll take a look into it later




My only question is if Android Pay is verified working?

? Android pay works by cts verification, people are having a hard enough time on even keeping it working on stock with root, it will be a long while till we get it on working on aosp.

Been running it for few hours now, no major bugs so far.
Missing the camera app in the rom tho.
Using snap camera and it is as good as the stock one

I remove old aosp apps since most people replace them with Google apps or equivalent, that includes aosp browser, MMS, and a few others which is pretty standard in aosp ROMs since the apps still look like ics (I kept gallery because quickpic was bought out)

    For you guys that like features, chroma and pure nexus should be up soon.
    Beanstown already has a testing build of pure nexus that he is on and zephik will be building chroma soon (guess I gotta test it for him)

    Thanks a lot ! Really like your basic feature approach :)
    Love this clean rom :)
    If anything screen off tile would be great :) But thats just add-on :)
    No complaints love it in its current form :)
    Btw N5x is really huge jump from N4 what say ;)
    I really feel so :)

    I do plan to add that and the volume button track skip once I get a few other things worked out.
    Been busy with layers lately and working on this no rebooting for it

    11-8 update 2 is up. Camera and fi switching to sprint is fixed thanks to beanstown (stupid symlinks)
