[ROM] [5.1.1_r1] [Deb] Lustrous Lollipop for Nexus 7 (2013) LTE

[skiman10]

Introduction
I'm not really into writing long elaborate OP posts, so here it goes. This is an AOSP compiled, flashable ROM. This ROM is fast and smooth, it is not bloated with useless features. Lustrous ROM has features being added that make it even more useful. You need the 4.04 bootloader! I put a lot of work and love into this rom, if you like it show me some support by donating!

Sweet thanks. Downloading, going to give it a spin.

And yep, that SuperSU is the latest.

 

[MaximN97]

Thx @skiman10 will Test it in the evening.

 

[hhairplane]

@skiman10 Is this an updated permissive boot image?

 

[jayfallen]

great many thanks for your work! Finally lollipop has come to DEB!

 

[ayenzel]

Thanks for this ROM. Finally can use android 5.0 on my deb nexus 7.. Successfully flashed this and so far so good. No problem or force close yet. Haven't tried with sim. Everything's run smoother now.

I can confirm that the mobile data is working however I lost my TWRP recovery after flashing it

Everything's working great except Earth and Google Maps, even if the location is ON in high accuracy mode.

Where do i get the 4.0.4 Bootloader for DEB? I only found it for FLO...

Flash the FLO bootloader. It's OK.

 

[jayfallen]

is it only working as primary via multiRom recovery?
I installed it as secondary and it failed to boot.

Google+ still missing for me here

Just finished booting.
Root is no-go for me (says binaries not installed despite having installed supersu zip).
Gonna see if I can tinker around with it to make it work, but for now no root for me.

That is an affirmative.
Also after you install it as primary, you'll need to install a kexec kernel to be able to boot to your other (now secondary) rom.
ElementalX 3.00 should work fine for that.

root does not work
on this core

I flashed my deb to stock 4.4.4, installed twrp, followed all instructions in op, and I cannot root. Thus I second another user's experience with root not working/SuperSU saying there are no binaries installed. I did install the supersu zip in twrp.

 

[Ambious]

Also can't install Google+ neither from Market nor APK.
Fixed by flashing newer gapps package found here.

@skiman10 Is this an updated permissive boot image?

I might have to update the boot.img more, I'm pretty sure it is in permissive mode right now. I'll check that out right now.

Hmmm you shouldn't have lost your recovery.... I should have turned that off. Let me look. Also you still rock a Galaxy Nexus? Respect.

Everything's working great except Earth and Google Maps, even if the location is ON in high accuracy mode.

Ok so GPS is a no go. Got it

Google+ still missing for me here

What gapps did you flash?

I'll look into root right now. I might have missed something in the bootloader

Good morning everyone! I'm awake and ready to smash bugs!
