My device runs the marshmallow production build, so I cannot execute `adb remount`.
I have `su` access, however NONE of the mount commands worked.
(you can find some of them in this stackoverflow thread)

Also busybox does not work, neither some root applications on the play store.
I 've also tried to do it by using the mmcblck partition of the Nexus 6. Still no luck.

I can do this using recovery, but this will be painful as it will waste lot of precious time.

set your SElinux to be permissive, and everything will work as it should

Thanks for the reply!

I have tried setting the se linux to permissive, using:
Code:
# setenforce 0
(also tried with the SELinuxModeChanger app)

and mounting the system using:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
on both chainfire's kernel, and gerar_f's custom stock kernel and still no luck though.
