A little disclaimer, we're not responsible if your device breaks.

HelloAndroid is a minimal custom ROM, based on AOSP 6.0, with a focus on fun. The goal is to create an enjoyable experience for, you - the flashaholic, and myself as a hobbiest.
I'm fueled by positive vibes and humble attitudes. So please don't bark demands and stuff like that, keep it fun for me. This is a learning experience with a long journey ahead.

This is an extremely early stage so there will be bugs and issues.

Current features:
custom navbar height
double tap navbar to sleep
volume rocker wake
volume rocker music controls
quicksettings quick pulldown
PA advanced reboot (enable in dev options)

with more on the way.


Downloads:
1. ROM hello_hammerhead-6.0-20151023
2. GApps - assuming those will be available pretty soon..?
3. Kernel of your choice (I use hellsCore)
4. SuperSU BETA-SuperSU v2.52
5. Latest radio and bootloader MRA58K_radio_bootloader

Instructions:
1. Flash latest bootloader zip
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash GApps
4. Flash Kernel
5. Flash SuperSU
6. Enjoy.


HelloAndroid github for those who want to keep on what's going on.
The kernel is an unmodified hammerhead AOSP kernel

Many thanks to:

Make sure you're on the latest radio and bootloader. There's a flashable zip floating around somewhere. I'll post a link when I get home

If possible , can you add a 4th nav bar button for "screen off" In your next build.
It's a possible maybe. I'm going to try and work out some issues and do more fine tuning before I add any more features.

Is layers supported in this Rom? Thanks in advance

That's at the top of my priority list to fix.

Clean flashed, got stuck on bootloop ( with the classic generic "android" bootanimation), flashed one more time with ElementalX kernel and it boots with "Android Is Upgrading". Done Upgrading and then gapps and setup wizard won't stop crashing. I'm guessing the gapps haven't been optimised for Marshmallow yet as it looks like Slim pulled down all links to their test 6.0 gapps builds.

It's Marshmallow, so they are supported from the outset.

What needs fixing? Layers work with Marshmallow as it is.
Layers only contains basic stuff for theming not advanced one. RRO from bitsyko is the most advanced one. Layers and RRO are different even though their purpose is similar

I have tested this ROM and i can confirm it boots if you install in below order:
1. Install this ROM
2. Install supersu
3. Install ElementalX 6

No gapps included at all. Some bugs below:
1. Notification panel doesn't open for me.
2. Home button didnt work for me.
