[ROM] [AOSP 6.0.1_r62] noobbuilds | Nexus 6P - Angler | MTC20F | 2016/08/03 - Nexus 6P Android Development

This is my own custom ROM for the Nexus 6P called noobbuilds. It is an AOSP 6.x based ROM with a few added useful features. I am an old retired guy who enjoys the hobby of builiding and using his own roms. I'm just sharing my rom not competing with the big the boys. I intend to add features and update ROM as AOSP updates.

Can we flash this if we are using systemless root SU 2.61?

---

@fhem
I seem to have an issue with Layers theme engine conflicting with built-in dark/ui option. To reproduce, please install TRDS RRO from store.

When you wipe system, data, caches and flash the ROM you will loose systemless root. This Rom is rooted w/ su 2.52. If you want systemless w/ the ROM you will need to completely remove SU 2.52 and try flashing system su 2.61. Only advantage in having SU 2.61 at this point is if you use Android Pay -- If you don't use I wouldn't even try 2.61 -- It is still BETA and unstable. I would not use 2.62 I understand it may have more issues then 2.61.

Known issue if you use some layers w/ ROM dark theme --- try using the ROM light theme or using different layers theme. I will look for work around/fix for next build.
