i didn't really like nougat...of course that's one of the only real problems with custom roms...trying to find all the settings...trying to remember how you set up this, that...anyway, i made a backup...so i will prob play around with it some later...but happy with chroma...i had the gnex and had to live with that stuck forever on what, 4, until the n6 came out because i'm on verizon and i don't like phones i can't root/unlock...and the pixel is the ugliest looking phone and way to expensive...i can live with my n6 for another year...running chroma if i need to...
Is the only thing that made me look for other ROMs, but yes I did regret it a few times. Chroma was so good, but now I'm on Nitrogen it has security patches from 2016-11-05 and runs good, I'm finally happy again.
Well Chroma is still great and if a 7.1 version might come out, I will try it.
Whether Chroma continues with N or not, thanks @zephiK for all you've done for the community and I wish you luck in whatever the future has in store for you!

Is it too much risk to stay on this without the new security updates released with other things?
What did you do before they came out with the monthly patches. I'm sure you were no safer then. Don't get me wrong I believe they are a good thing just maybe a bit overated.
For the most part did what we all did, moved on to the next Android version, or purchased a new phone. Since I like Chroma, need xposed, and still haven't found a phone I like more than the 6, I figured I would pose a question I didn;t know the answer to. Thanks though.
If you want to stay on MM but want the monthly security patches, there are not many options. I think MoKee is one of the last that still provide up-to-date MM versions.
I don't like using 3rd party security apps but most of them will incorporate the security updates into their apps after Google releases them so you can always use one of those if you want to get updates but stay on MM

Too bad this forum doesn't support the banning of people that bump dead threads.
No, never attempt to downgrade your bootloader or you may wind up holding a bricked phone in your hand afterwards.

583OFFICIAL WARNING
Chroma is a lightweight AOSP ROM focused on battery, performance and stability.
The philosophy of Chroma is to stay relatively close to Google's stock Marshmallow with the additions of essential features that should have been included with stock Marshmallow as well as providing the most up-to-date security patches.
Features:
Special thanks to:

Last build, going to take a break from development. Enjoy the last bits that I was working on.70Well guys,
It's been quite the adventure in the Lollipop series. This was my first ROM in general and I've learned many new things, I was surprised to see the success of Chroma ROM especially on the Nexus 6. 09/27/2015 will be the final build from me in the Lollipop series. If Marshmallow gets delayed or any hotfixes needed to be made in 09/27/2015 build then I will push another update but for the most part this is the final build.
Chroma will continue with the Marshmallow series when the source code becomes available. Be sure to check out Google's announcement on September 29th on more details about Marshmallow and the new Nexus devices. The only device that is confirmed for Chroma Marshmallow is the Nexus 6 (2014). There is a good chance that the new Nexus devices in 2015 will be supported but my priority will be supporting the device that I use on a daily basis which is the Nexus 6 (I might upgrade to a Nexus 6P).
Chroma will only get better in Marshmallow and I hope to follow the same core philosophy that you all have become accustomed to in the Lollipop builds. Either way, enough ranting! Here's the last build. Similarly to the previous builds, just a maintenance build and nothing "explosive" when it comes to feature sets.
