OP has been updated with links of device and vendor trees. But currently it's not booting it seems one of my changes has broken the booting process and since I'm not in a habit of making commits, I'm having one hell of a time identifying the faulty change. Feel free to fork and make pull requests.

Guys I've cleaned up the sources and updated the links in op. If anyone wants to pitch in it's all there. I've got it to boot but it doesn't go any further than optimizing apps. Let's see what we can do.....
All my Explorer managers are crashing on trying to open it. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Even Lawnchair app is crashing google.
I've got some good news for you guys
1. Finally got cm to boot and implemented all features, built and uploaded (will post soon)
2. Finally solved kernel building. No more prebuilt from now on we'll use inline kernel building. This paves the way for a future custom kernel and cm 13
3. This cm build is going to be the last one for lollipop. Time to start working on marshmallow.....
I'm very tired today so can't make the long update post will post tomorrow. This time it's final no more delays

Yeah.... Finally you solved the kernel issue.. i am visiting my home likely mid October... I am eager to flash the rom... And if everything is great then I am gonna keep tab with me so that I can help in testing... Let's see... Your hard work should be appreciated by everyone owing the tablet.. people have lost the hope of custom ROM and most of there tablet are getting dust in some corner. Hopefully everyone should see this so that they are revive there tablet.
Thanks dev
Thats very great news. Especially the kernel part since that was probably the biggest problem for any dev to deal with due to nvidias messy source tree.
UPDATE
Okay guys the update is here. Almost 4 months after the initial release I've perfected most of the device tree including the kernel which I've finally been able to build. I learned many new things along the way which I've implemented in the ROM. Now I would like to talk about a couple of things.
Let's start with testing and I gotta say I got a very bad response from you guys although many of you pm'ed me but upon giving you the build you didn't reply back. This time I'm letting it go but from next time i.e, while doing the marshmallow bring-up if I don't get testers I'll stop working on it. The last couple of days I shaved off sleeping time in order to get things done and if you can't even do the cortesy of testing the builds then I'm not worknig on it.
Second I wanna know how many people still own the 'Tegra Note 7' so I'm creating a poll please vote on it. I'm surprised that this thread has got 9k views but still there is no real activity in the thread. I really wanna know the numbers. Even if you're a stock user do vote.
Third and my favourite lets talk about changelog. It's so huge that I don't remember most of it but here are the ones that I do remember :-
1. Bring kernel inline
2. add Nvcamera from stock (it's the best for our pathetic excuse of a camera)
3. add controller mapper (controller support)
4. add a boat load of missing blobs, update the existing ones and remove unneeded ones
5. tweaked and added some files (should offer good performance and battery backup)
6. get proximity sensor working
7. Initial pass at fixing selinux (more about it later)
8. clean up the device tree and get it ready to support other roms
9. updated overlays
10. kernel has been tweaked (should improve performance)
11. fix recovery build
12. add custom bluetooth device name (can be changed from setting)
13. fix otg
14. fixed battery percentage suddenly dropping upon unlocking the tab
15. tweaked powerhal a bit (more about it later)
and much much more
fix touch (users who've used the EVGA APX images to unbrick their tab must be experiencing touch problems which they might thinK is their tablet freezing up which by the way it is not. I've been experiencing this too. this build should address this issue.
Fourth
Although I said this would be last lollipop build but it won't be. The changelog for the next and last lollipop build will be
1. fix sepolicy to get it to work on enforcing mode
2. fix up the powerhal and stop building it as a stub
3. a few more kernel changes
4. bid lollipop goodbye
Fifth and the last.
I've spent a huge amount of time in getting everything ready and I'm opensourcing it so If you're using it then please do give proper credits. At least respect the work that I've done.

Thanks for all your work @skoar
tonight I will install the rom and see how it works in "retroarch" that this tablet is very good to emulate old consoles
if later you can add some overclock to the cpu and be able to control with the application tegra overclock app that is the best for our tablet
Thank you again for all your great work !!! greetings a hug

Hi Skoar,
Have been using rom for a couple of hours now and so far no problems.
In fact the tablet has never run as good in my opinion. Smooth and fast with no lag at all.
Thanks for all your hard work. Its much appreciated and if you do need testers please ask. I am sure some of us will oblige.
Will use it more later and let you know any problems.
Thanks again and please keep up the good work.

Yeah many ppl are unthankful and dont appreciate anything. Especially since we are not that big of a group of tegra note 7 owners anymore as we once were. Because of that you wont see as many testers of a rom as on some other devices forum section. Its pretty sad tbh. And even for other devices forums, the testers of something are only a very small portion of a group of ppl compared to how many actually just download a rom and leave without saying anything. Most dont even hit the thanks button.
As for me, since the rom gets more and more stable, i am willing to test it now (im more like a guy who likes to try roms in a beta stage rather than alpha as i still use it very often) Will maybe install it tomorrow. On weekend i should have much more time for testing it and give you any info of any bugs, freezes/crashes or any other issues i come along. Will also give the performance a try by trying out some games like real racing 3 with highest graphics enabled (in case anyone wonders, i have done this by changing some xml files in the games folder, just google how you can do it, there is also an app that can switch graphic settings files of th3 game).
Anyway, if you would like me to test specific stuff, let me know which exactly so i can help you with that as well. Once i installed the rom i will reply here in this thread.
I will also post any bugs etc here in this thread so other ppl can compare if they run into the same issues or not.
Now as for the touch fix you mentioned,
That specific issue wasnt only happening to ppl that restored their tablet via apx images. It also happened to me when i installed lollipop (the crappy stock one by nvidia) via twrp and pc. So it seems that this was a general issue with lollipop that nvidia sadly never fixed.
Poll added. Please do vote
Awesome work buddy
I appreciate your efforts to revive this old beast. I am here to help you test your roms and mods. Please let me know if you need any help with your. I would be delighted to work with you.

This great rom I put kernel beta version in it because I could not force the 4 cores
Kernel previous version of forcing cores with tegra overclock app
It looks great for games
I am having a problem youtube app some videos close application
Thank you very much

Give me a logcat just after the application force closes and I'll see what I can do. Although I didn't face such an issue during testing

This is one of the videos that closes application
---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------
Does this video close anybody else?
Many videos I see normal without closing

the application tegra overclock does not work to manually control the activation of the cores of the cpu and the frequencies are broken in the stock rom works without problems ... this application power the tablet for a maximum performance very important for me if you like me I can donate the money so that you can buy it in the google store
if you want to warn me and I support you with the money so you can do the tests
and if in future compilations you can add overclock to the cpu and disable the limitation of 4 cores cap to 1600mhz
thanks and regards

A big heartfelt thanks to the dev for working so hard on the ROM and reviving back our tegra note 7.Had tried out the build for sometime,everything seemed to work good so far.the only thing I found buggy was brightness slider.Screen went completely dark once I reduced brightness all the way and it was like that for sometime till it got back yo normal again.
Anyway again can't thank the dev skoar enough for bringing out cm 12.1 for our almost dead device amd hope to see the newer version of Android on it in the coming days or months maybe with the Nvidia direct stylus working natively .wish you all the best
