Can i ask why Bluetooth isn't working?
The short answer is I don't know.

The long answer is there used to be an official maintainer for the N9 but he left the SAOSP team a few months ago. I learned to compile Roms after his departure and I started making unofficial community builds for the N9. I suspect the issue could have been introduced during that time period when no one was build for the N9. I was not aware of the bluetooth issue until one of the members alerted me. I'm not even sure why issue even exists since bluetooth works for all the other devices supported by the SAOSP team. With that said, I submitted a bug report for the bluetooth issue and the saosp team is working on it.

As a side-note, I would have liked it if bluetooth issue was fixed before I made a thread on XDA, but seeing that there are only a few AOSP
based ROMs that are updated regularly, I decided to share my builds since the SAOSP is a good ROM.

The Rom included gapps?
No, Gapps are not included.

Other AOSP roms had that bluetooth issue too. Maybe you can cherry pick from one of their sources. You can take a look into Lollipopalooza or noobbuilds rom thread.

When I try to download the latest ROM it take me to basketbuild but it is just a white page and when I refresh it does the same thing. I've used a couple different browsers with the same result?
