Great to have another rom to flash. A couple of quick questions: Is SELinux disabled? Did you use a special kernel? What is the status of encryption? Once I understand this I'll give it a go.

SELinux is disabled.
Nothing special in the kernel for now.
Encryption is on for now.

Thanks a lot.

Added Dark themed build to OP. Same ROM with Dark settings.

Thanks a lot.

on my initial flash, I tried to flash elemental x kernel and kept getting setup ui FC'ing. I then reflashed the rom with fire & ice kernel and everything set up fine. While its early, everything seems to be working. I have used this rom my LG G3 phone. Thanks for getting rom for our device.

Is there a reason that SELinux is disabled?

Thanks for making the ROM available for the Nexus 9.

Elemental X will not work with a ROM that has SELinux disabled. That is my understanding.

No clue, Just happy I got it to boot at this point. Gonna look into some kernel stuff and selinux as time goes on.

cheers another new ROM!!

*Custom Notification Lights ????

First of all, thanks for the ROM!

I saw in the features list "*Custom Notification Lights".
Does the ROM really enable the notifications light? I would be so happy!

 

[El Nino1977]

Running candy on my N6, I'll give this a flash when I get home. Happy the dark ui is separate, prefer the light ui myself ?

ROM works and is stable...for the most part. Small issues though. Camera doesn't always work. Using the eBay app having trouble with the camera. Just twice out of 30+ times. Reboot fixes. Battery percent is not accurate. Told me I had 20% remaining and a few minutes later it died. Left it on charge overnight and fresh boot told me 59%. Reboot fixed and seems to be holding a good charge now.

I never thought to test actually. I doubt it. I just used a devdb project for the op so that features list isn't device specific.

I have the same problem with the battery percentage not being accurate (same thing with the AICP build). I think it might be a CM think as this does not happen to me on the AOSP builds. It also just started with the last couple of builds.

Running nice @Cuzz1369 with ICE kernel, by far the smoothest N9 ROM I've tried. Thanks man!?
