Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can this rom add mpg2 hardware decoding?
Solved also Chromecast functionality, it rely on the new booltloader for this reason i had problems in last tests.
All is under control. A couple of days of tests and i will share the new 5.1 firmware.

How did you handle the kernel? Did you rebase defconoi's unleashed with android-x86_64-fugu-3.10-lollipop-mr1, or use clean android-x86_64-fugu-3.10-lollipop-mr1 ?
I've found that defconoi did some great work with updating the wifi drivers and the scheduler, which are worth keeping. I haven't had a chance to do any more than just look at src so I haven't tested anything, though the changes rebased with minimal conflict. let me know if you want my rebase src. I could give you a bzImage if you'd like too.

i used this https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/x86_64/+/android-x86_64-fugu-3.10-lollipop-mr1 + exfat drivers as base
+ additional modules
the kernel don't have problems and is good
The 5.0.2 firmware works very very well. Now i'm finalize the 5.1 firmware. try the 5.0.2 to understand.
But i will look at wifi drivers. Thanks for the suggestion.

Android 5.1 changelog
new updated kernel source
new binay
new google services and apps
some midifications and additional modules of LolliRock 1.5
The visual changes are not many, but under the hood much is changed.
Now you can also mute audio like pre 5 android versions that is very useful.
Just flashed... waiting for boot now.
I pulled the new bootloader from the .tar file and flashed it first... hope that was enough.

Works great for me, I handflashed everything except the user data.img from the factory image, then flashed the new lollirock, and root, but didn't wipe with fastboot -w and everything is working great!
I might recommend that for major OS version, IE 5.x ==> 5.y that you change lollirock version to 2.0.

5.1 release works amazing. Adition of working Mute button is very welcome. My keyboard thanks you very much.
On the side note. Polite request. Please consider adding full bluetooth a2dp and mic support.
I know you don't have much use for it, according to your previous posts, but maybe you don't have kids around you when you want to say Ok Google, and do a search, while they are physically closer to the usb mic then yourself.... It is also immensely more convenient to listen to the music or watch something privately ,or when family is sleeping (where google dropped the ball compared to roku, with its stereo plug on the remote, and nvidia seems to be fixing on their box). I saw you mentioned that the stock remote mic is hard wired to use gimped protocol from original firmware, and I would not want you to waste time on that, but when I have spare bluetooth headsets that I can just put in my ear, it is a damn shame not to be able to use it.
It also allows using using other bluetooth peripherals, in case I want the sound to be louder, cleaner than my crappy TV speakers and not necessarily be physically tethered to my TV (wife hates cables and I really try to keep it to a minimum). And let us not forget some of us wanting private conversations on hangouts/skype/etc.
Other than full bluetooth support, I really have no idea what else could be missing from this amazing work, that you have done for us.
Thanks

But for private conversations in skype / hangout with a bluethoout mic / audio or to listen when others are sleeping you are right
So before I flash this, I just have a couple of questions:
1. Do Bluetooth Headphones work?
2. Can I still use the ASUS GamePad and the Nexus Player Remote?
3. Can I install the Android TV Launcher and use the device as if it were stock, just with the extra features of AOSP?

How can my game data survive this upgrade. With my phones I always use titanium backup and custom recovery. Should I just save most data to USB or Google Drive or Dropbox... Etcetera. Or is there a simple command shortcut I just never learned? I'm enjoying 1.5 so much. Best thing to happen to an android device for me. My TV is my new favorite thing. I'm even gonna buy aLogitech C525. I just want to upgrade appropriately.
Usualy i erase all my data when i update, because are only apps that i can reinstall easly.
For photo songs and videos i have external usb devices or google drive.
But if you want try, the fastboot -w command erase all your data, if you don't type this command, the user data should not be deleted.
But to have chromecast functionality you need the last bootloader, for this reason i suggest in the readme: "start from the last stock firmware". But as another user wrote above, you can install also the bootloader manually.
So if you are an advanced user you can do what you want.
If you want the basic procedure, from the last stock firmware with fastboot install only system and boot image and with the command fastboot -w erase old data.

no, if you have problems, a factory reset solve. Without the command fastboot -w that purge old data i'm not sure about the process, some old data can create problems, solvable with a fresh install or factory reset or with the command fastboot -w in the installation process as i wrote in the readme.
