[ROM][6.0.1][OFFICIAL] OmniROM

Builds can be found at: http://dl.omnirom.org/toro/

This OP was shamelessly copied from the official maguro thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnirom-04-16-t3360596

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google Apps can be found at http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano - beware that if you choose OpenGApps, only the nano version will fit! Also, starting from M, it's recommended to install gapps before the initial boot so the permissions are properly set up.

Bugs:
- Sometimes, quiet speaker pop sounds can be heard at the beginning and/or end of some audio streams (ie. touch sounds - the workaround is to disable them). For some reason, this isn't affecting everyone.

FAQ:
Does this ROM has CMA?
- Yes!

Does this ROM supports F2FS?
- Yes, on /data.

Does this ROM uses DDK 1.9?
- Yes, with all the camera issues (ie. pink lines, rare crashes) resolved.

Why does the initial boot take so long, and where are my live wallpapers?!
- To make room on the system partition for the (bigger) M gapps packages, I had to sacrifice dexpreopt and the live wallpapers. This can result in pretty long initial boots or upgrade boots, and dexpreopt might run during the first time setup wizard as well, slowing down the system for an additional couple minutes.

Downloading Right now, will post back when installed!

EDIT: Everything seems to be running smooth after setting up. Nothing out of the ordinary so far.

So I dusted off my old toro, fully charged the battery, reverted to stock and then...
Flashed "omni-6.0.1-20161123-toro-SECURITY_RELEASE.zip" from within TWRP 3.0.2.0
Nano would not install - insufficient space, but Pico worked fine.
I'm on first boot and at the Android is starting screen. It is Optimizing apps and seems fairly quick so far - roughly 2 minutes in and its at app 61 of 81.
Hoping to use this as a wifi device for google hangouts video chat and maybe teamspeak and slack.

Thanks for bringing this device back from the dead for me!

Thanks for this! My 3 year old plays with my old GNex, and I decided to clean up all the old user and system apps that didn't need to be on there since it was running really slow. It got to the point where I decided that I'd be best starting off fresh and I was hoping to find a newer Android version than 4.2.2.

This is fantastic and can't wait to see how it runs. I used the latest OpenGapps Pico and I formatted /data as f2fs. Will edit with an update on my experience.
