[ROM] CherryCM12.1 (Stock+Cherry Picks) (2015-06-06) {DELTA OTA,NO FORCED ENCRYPTION} - Nexus 6 Android Development

HAI!
Coming from the excellent @temasek CM12 build on my Note 3 to a stock CM12 on my new Nexus 6 I was unpleasantly surprised by how many features were added by Temasek and not in stock CM12.
Including some very useful ones that I was missing sorely.
So, instead of waiting for CM12 to merge them I decided to roll my own build I took stock CM12 source and cherry picked a few features below.
I humbly present to you CherryCM12.1 (renamed to distinguish it from the other one )
Features:
Encryption is not forced in boot image
Add per app controls for LP keyguard notifications - got merged into CM12 http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/87792/
Slim heads up customizations for LP (heads up notification improvements) - NOT MERGED INTO CherryCM12.1 yet
Navbar tweaks (customizable height and width) - NOT MERGED INTO CherryCM12.1 yet
LCD density change in Display settings that doesn't interfere with Play Store - got merged into CM12.1
Ability to disable search bar in recents - got this one merged as well: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/80224/
Wireless charging notification follows standard charging notification settings - this is actually my own contribution for a change http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/88121/ - MERGED!
Quick Settings - option to show 4 tiles per row - NOT MERGED INTO CherryCM12.1 yet
FauxKernel by @faux123 available for download below for IntelliPlug, Color controls etc. I suggest you go purchase his excellent FauxClock app, it's definitely worth it!
Incremental updates via built in updater based on @Chainfire's OpenDelta READ MORE BELOW
SuperSU shortcut in Settings (if installed)
Updating:
Please note there is a permissions issue at the moment preventing the updater to flash the new update. Please reboot to recovery and flash it manually from /sdcard/OpenDelta. I'm working on a fix.
You can get the new builds using the built-in updater - only a fraction of data (25-30 MB) will need to be downloaded.
You need to have the previous build on your SD card for the incremental update to work
If you want to have more zips flashed after updating, just put them into /sdcard/OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate
More features will be added gradually. If there's an existing feature from another ROM you would like to see included please let me know and I'll do my best.
Disclaimer:
The builds work on my device(TM). However, you take full responsibility for flashing them on your device.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

This might be the last build. I don't see much use of this ROM and frankly much point any more as most of the changes I wanted have been merged into CM12.1. Thanks for using CherryCM12.1!

Sorry to hear that, guys... What exactly happens? I see that quite a few people have successfully downloaded the ROM but also quite a few incomplete downloads.
Anyway, I have added a mirror on my Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B59tii2AW9TcM1VFejVKRVZMUkE#list
And another mirror on Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n7u5yctzmq29z30/AAA4CtBfL6-TUeBB4NP8r23ga?dl=0
Please let me know if that works

Does this force encryption?

The first one would download for me but said it had an hour left to finish.

It's based on standard CM12 so I'm pretty sure the answer is yes - it behaves the same as official CM12.
I'll look into it as I know many people would prefer not to encrypt.

Sorry for that. Apparently the international connectivity from my server here in CZ isn't that great. I've added two mirrors so hopefully they will be better. I'll migrate the main download site to my VPS in the UK, should be better.

No worries, just noticed the comment about encryption so I will have to pass. Thanks for bringing this to everyone and for the quick response.

I'll definitely look into disabling forced encryption, I see it could have a great appeal
Alternatively I could package the ROM with LeanKernel (if the developer agreed).

I'd like no force encryption for sure. IF you decide to go that way, I'll definitely try this ROM out

Sorry for asking as I just got my N6 yesterday, but do you have to already be unencrypted for this to work? I'm already running a rom other than stock and never unencrypted my phone. Haven't had an issue with it yet either flashing multiple roms.

If you are decrypted then flashing this will encrypt your phone unless you flash leanKernel after flashing this rom. Is that what you are asking?
If you are encrypted then flashing this won't change anything.

I am encrypted right now. Coming from the N5, I never had to deal with forced encryption. I'd like to unencrypt my phone.

Use tools like NRT to decrypt your N6 first. But take back up of your data as it decrypting process will wipe your data.
Once decrypted if you flash this ROM and boot, you will again become encrypted. So immediately flash kernel like lean or franco kernel before booting to stay unencrypted.

I see, so even being on a rom other than stock, it will wipe my data but the rom will be intact or will I have to reflash a rom reguardless?
