[ROM] UltimaROM-Shamu - LMY47Z - 5.1.1 - 20150630

UltimaROM-Shamu​

Information

Welcome to UltimaROM. Some of you may know me from the S3 and S4, some of you may not. This is the first time I've managed to get UltimaROM on an actual Nexus device, despite spending a long time on TouchWiz devices, making them more AOSP-like.

I got this device a couple of days ago, so bare with me while I acclimatise!

Features

• OTA Updates (handled by RomHut)
• Forced encryption disabled (requires data wipe once)
• Stock kernel (for now, you may choose another)

Xposed
Xposed is not supported. You may install it. It may work. But I will not support any Xposed related questions or requests. I will never bundle it with the ROM.

Download

Android Lollipop 5.1.1

Github: here

Note:

SuperSU is not included by default. I toyed with this idea, and figured it best to leave that up to you to root if you so wish. Many of the intended features of this ROM will work ok without root.

Installation instructions

TWRP 2.8.7.1 or greater is preferred. CWM should be considered "abandoned" these days

1. Copy the ROM files to your device (I prefer to keep a folder especially for anything ROM related)
2. Choose "install" in TWRP
3. Locate this ROM
4. (Optional) Queue up some other files like SuperSU
5. Flash

Issues

Currently the only issue is the lack of features that make this ROM unique. This will be rectified shortly.

Requests

You can post serious feature requests here: https://github.com/MatthewBooth/UltimaROM-Shamu/issues This way I can mark them as completed, and I have a nice list to work on. Plus, I tend to lose track of requests in huge threads.

:highfive:

It's literally just a stock ROM right now, as you can see from the changelog. But you have the OTA app if you install and will get OTA's as and when I update with newer features I will deodex, debloat and start adding some proper features soon, I was just excited to post an UltimaROM thread again!

I'm in!

Loved your stuff for my old S4. Awesome to see you in a N6 now!

Think I'm going to give this a go. One question in future of the development are you going to be a adding a theme engine. If so will it be CM or Layers. I only ask as I almost always use layers. Many thanks

Just installed this rom. It's nice to see a new rom for this device. I know you are just getting started....any plans for wifi calling. I'm on T-Mobile. Thanks , looks like you are off to a good start.

Yep, but I really need to get the LYZ28E build deodexed to be able to do anything meaningful with the ROM. Hoping the guys that did the three Deodex'd build will be willing to share their method.

All flashed and so far so good. Did u see my post about the theme engine.

I didn't, but I have now. Erm, AFAIK, there is no way to use CM Theme Engine on these ROMs. I'd like to get Layers working as I intend on theming some apps myself.

If you add layers to it then I will 100% stick with you for it. The guy who brought layers to android is on G+ and from all accounts a really good guy. I'll link you to his community so you can have a look.

Matt, too the best of my knowledge, it would be an almost insurmountable challenge to get stock 5.1.1 in a position to support layers...it's either hard coded themed stock apps or an AOSP based rom if you want a theme platform.

With the advent of M, all of this changes, as RRO appears to be inclusive, so Layers and other platforms that take advantage RRO will work natively.

Ask @daveyannihilation, as I'm certain that he'd love to drone on endlessly about what an incredible guy he is.
