Krexus was born out of a simple necessity. The latest releases of stock Android (namely lollipop and marshmallow) were pretty close to my idea of a perfect android ROM, yet missing some elements, which are meant to be included in stock Android, at least for me. Starting from a clean AOSP environment, only specific features and fixes are included, which are personally tested, with one goal in mind. To create a stock like android ROM, "as it should be".

This means, and I mean it, a ROM like how stock nexus image should be, for me.

This isn't going to get bloated. Most UI "features" are already there.
This isn't going to start picking commits relentlessly, I will test them personally and only add things that 1) work like they should 2) would fit in a stock ROM.
This isn't going to be updated very quickly. Only security and bug fixes will be pushed out ASAP.
This is going to follow Google's & AOSP guidelines as closely as I can.

And lastly, this is first and foremost a ROM about Nexus 5 (hammerhead). This is my personal device, this is where I test the ROM. angler, bullhead, flo, mako, shamu builds are provided AS-IS, and bugs/missing stuff/features especially for them will be put on the lowest priority and will depend on my free time. I will only guarantee the nexus 5 ROM and its abilities.

That said, welcome aboard!

Features List

This is an attempt to include every important (to the end user or dev) feature and/or advancement merged into this ROM, compared to AOSP. A lot of them are work of others, whom I truly thank; many of them are modified by me to specifically fit these ROM's needs; and a few of them are my original work (which I'm proud of and I will bold ).
I want to point out two things here:

• This list isn't completely uptodate. I am creating new stuff all the time
• You should really install the ROM to get the feeling of it

Screenshot IMGUR Album! (or you can check the screenshots in DevDB screenshot tab)

Of course, there are many, many more... just browse krexus github: https://github.com/krexus/

This will be the post where I am going to write any new updates for my ROM. First of all, welcome!

For XDA, this is a new ROM. But for Google+, it isn't. I have been testing it and releasing some builds in this private community, so make sure to ask to join for the latest info! I created this thread to let more people try my ROM, only now that I feel that it is in an almost perfect condition.
As as I said, my idea is to create a better stock ROM, and this is my target goal.

Another one of my target goals is to make the release of a new build almost automated. Right now, the compilation of the 6 devices build list is finishing, and is uploaded to basketbuild, using clever smart scripts. This also updates the changelog in my site, so I don't have to write a new post every time a new build is released. Everything should just work!

Speaking of releases, the ROM comes with an updater, so you don't even have to check the community or this thread for new links. But follow the pushbullet channel if you want!

I've been copy/pasting information for the past half hour, so this new thread is bound to have mistakes and inconsistencies. Let me know and I'll fix it!

Some other important points:

• You have to flash SuperSU and GApps.
• If you have a question, you should check out google+, in case it's there.
• For the Devs: check my vendor folder, I have been developing some automation scripts which, I think, you will like!
• I am an one man team, sorry for any slow responses.
• Yes, this ROM is released for 6 devices, not hammerhead only. You can grab the zips from Basketbuild. I haven't created XDA threads for them (yet) because I don't own them.
• I hope you like the ROM!!!

Ooh, always tempting to try out a new ROM...

 

[Creative9170]

Thanks for this simple and light weight ROM Does it include Google UI Sounds or AOSP sounds?

 

[pompidoi]

Trying this out. Thanks

I am going for a better stock, so it should surely have them. They are also mentioned in the features post. Welcome to Krexus!

Awesome work my friend.
This rom is the fastest and most stable I've tried. It really is "Stock, as it should be".

Thank you very much for everything. :good:

Krexus was born out of a simple necessity....

Awesome new rom mate !
I suppose you have a little Java and C++ to get all that stuff rolling.
I would like to thank you to push up a new rom here. I smell it to become well known as it seems very, very good.
However, i am not flashaholic, AT ALL, and i'm running Chroma since a month, and i will wait a bit to make the jump.

Just a few questions :
- Are you using the stock toolchain ?
- Did you edited AOSP hammerhead kernel source ?

Thanks for the time you spent to read my comment. Keep up good stuff, i will follow you !

[BIade]

... i am not flashaholic ...

Yes? You called me? what can I do for you? :silly:
Will test it, and report back tomorrow night.

Thanks for this ROM!!

btw @dedefake I remember you from the Dev-Preview-time

 

[phantom146]

I suppose the right question was did you port the google stock sounds or the AOSP sounds? because AOSP sounds doesn't ring too much in the ears(audio quality is off)

Great ROM dev,
Great R/W speed and smoother than butter
A huge thanks

Thank you for being an amazing tester!

Thank you for the kind words! I have got some Java knowledge by working on the Android source, but no C++ yet. It's a byproduct, not the goal anyway.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes, toolchains are stock, and they aren't changing any time soon. I have never personally seen any difference with them, only (in a few cases) weird bugs, so I am following Google on this one.
2. Kernels are stock, too. I am trying to be modular and only provide a ROM. I believe that everyone uses his phone differently and you can't be a jack of all trades; that's why you have to flash your SuperSU, and your GApps, and your kernel. Only *mako* is having its own kernel, because Google dropped support.

And thank you, "Kalimera"

I am using the latest marshmallow Google stock sounds I can find. I hate the default AOSP ones, they sound so kitkatish.

Another question:

Are this odexed or deodexed? I hope its odexed from priv-app down to system files for faster boot time and app launching

 

[Spectrum75]

My turn to welcome the perfectionist KreAch3R
Using Krexus before even "public" release as a daily driver, performance and simplicity, what else to ask !
Many thanks George for sharing your work with us :good:
( Thanks Jax Teller for pointing the thread on time, i was off since yesterday )

Okay awesome as i seen you pushed sources to github. I will test your rom soon and build my own ones using Uber toolchain if i like it, but im sure i will like it
