How To Install:
FROM OTHER ROMS
1) Just flash over any ROM you are currently on now (DO NOT wipe SYSTEM. It will lead to Error: Symlink failed)
1.1) (OPTIONAL) Flash Supersu http://www.supersu.com/download
2) Wiping cache is up to you
3) Reboot (Will take super long - dont panic)
*DO NOT FACTORY RESET AFTER YOU FLASH IT IF NOT YOUR ROM WILL END UP IN CHINESE WITHOUT THE OPTION OF LETTING YOU CHOOSE YOUR LANGUAGE*(thanks to @oceanax)
For user coming from any ROM, as long as you have at least kitkat boot loader, you will be fine.

UPDATE THIS ROM
Wipe cache, dalvik and flash the update.zip or use built in OTA Updater

Other Information:
- Please refrain from talking about other kernels than stock.
- At the moment, this project is considered: BETA. All core functions could work, but it's still not ready to mark as stable. However, it should work properly as daily driver?
- My Google Plus Community for better support and help!
- It is NOT allowed to copy and paste my whole written text for this project on your/other websites!

Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications,
and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device,
I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

The OS looks great!! I am downloading the ROM!
Although i did not see any indication on which variant of the Note 5 this ROM supports.
Any ideas before I flash?

I think it should be only availeable for the international variant, maybe more. Please test it and give some feedback.
Dont forget to do a backup before. :)

Chinese app persist?
yes, but you can download an app in the play store called "System App Remover" and remove them. Most chinese apps have a english user interface. And in this rom 90% is english.

Nice!! Gonna give it a try.

Android 6.0 shouldnt be an issue, just try flashing it. Do a backup before and give feedback here please :)

I am waiting for reviewers to update the "Bugs" page.

I have installed this but my SIM is not working. It does not connect to the network. Any ideas?
Which Android OS version (5.1.1 or 6.0.1) you were running before installing this ROM? And about your SIM's problem, I am not sure but try to replace the customer.xml file in the /system/csc folder by the one from your csc version.
