Just got mine today, from Prime day! I'm looking for a simple ROM, since my mom will be using this. I've heard that EMUI is confusing, so I was hoping to find a ROM that is as close to stock as possible.
Thanks!
Cm13 is your best bet for close to stock. However your mother won't have access to the fingerprint scanner if you go that route. It is currently only working on the stock rom. I found that stock with nova, Google messenger, and chrome are very doable and provide great battery life.

Today is your lucky day. The FP sensor is now working on CM13. Cheers to our wonderful devs.

Oooh nice. Can you explain what this line means
"We are using Open GApps (Link) Arm64 version. (make sure to use 64bit when using other packages), others might also be working"
Are we supposed to use the Arm64 GApps, or x86_64?

Sweet haha, we're in the same boat. I'll try that out when I get home, but when I was messing with it yesterday, it felt so similar to an iPhone. What does the Simple setting do?

It's a custom stock launcher that puts 8 or so "tiles" on the home page-phone, camera, email, browser and whatever else they use. Settings and camera settings are limited to just a few things.

This means we are using a 64 bit chipset (Snapdragon 616). You have to use ARM64 gapps in CM13.
Got it, thanks!!

Xposed doesn't work on Android L. Android L is exclusively ART and Xposed doesn't run on ART. YET. BUT, that seems like a simple xml change, shouldn't be an issue. Now we have to wait for the binaries to be posted. After that? Let the custom rom building begin.
I understand that it's easy to change, but it's the principle of the matter. It's clear that Google spends no time optimizing for the manta, and with volantis(HTC Nexus 8/9) being 4:3....it's very clear that Google doesn't give a damn about this device, or the 16:10 resolution...

i'm going to sync with source and then add this. then compile and test. Should be fun.
edit: syncing now and grabbed the props. Takes a few hours to sync tho.
And now it's compiling. Is there anyone interested in trying this if it's a booter? If so, make a backup now. There are lots of apps not supported just yet. Still takes a little while for this to compile on my server.

Yeah yeah! Loving L on my hammerhead. Interested to test the 10 inch version. :laugh:
this build seems to be taking forever...
I will upload a zip here when it's done. I haven't even put the recovery on mine since flashing 4.4.4 image. It finally is doing the framework and stuff now.
WIll edit this post with the zip when it's ready.

Getting a 404 with the link
So it should be today that we get Lollipop. If you have received the OTA let people know here and post screenshots and findings (and URLs..)
wait
Im so excited about it. I hope we dont wait too much.
Yeah me too!
Since my Nexus 7 LTE and Note 4 will take a few more weeks to get the Lollipop glory.
Just done a format and flashed the stock ROM, now battering the check for update button...
Somehow I'm thinking we'll get the factory images sooner than full OTA today or tomorow, and OTAs should start throughout November up until Nexus 9 LTE and Nexus 6 are out
And here's me thinking that I don't know if I care for 5.0 without xposed :/
Oh well I did a nandroid backup so I can always roll back
Flashed back to stock and ready!

As it stands it simply doesn't work with art.
If the dev actually goes back to it to make it work again then it will. For now its simply safer to assume that there shall be no xposed for ART (and therefore 5.0+)

Unfortunately the situation is not that optimistic, as Rovo89 (the author of Xposed) said:
rovo89 said:
...in short: Wait until the final images and source code drop. Then wait again until it's ready. I can't give any estimation when that will be the case, it depends much on my personal situation. Chance are pretty low that it will be within a month after Lollipop release, and will get higher once I start thinking about flashing a Lollipop ROM myself (which would probably be CM12, and I think these guys won't give us a timeline either, for good reasons). I'm still not 100% sure Xposed for Lollipop will work, but I hope that in some way it will, even if it might not be as compatible with most ROMs and as easy to install as it is for Android 4.x.

We have to wait and keeps fingers crossed.
He wrote that months ago, that's one. Second - ART in the latest dev preview is pretty much finalized. Third - knowing XDA in general, adapting Xposed for 5.0 should not take more than a couple of weeks

Lets be fair it wasn't likely to be today
Hello,
If someone brave wants to test this Simple AOSP build for 6P. leanKernel with aosip/nexus pure sources. I did nothing but build it. Not in developer forum since I am not a developer, or associated with any of the projects I've mentioned.
SAOSP: https://plus.google.com/communities/113769215740955801290
This rom is bad ass! I used it on LP.. I just got all setup on DU or I'd flash. I will follow this as SAOSP is a great rom! Thanks for taking a crack at it.

Edit: Building with stock kernel, and IMO I should since I notice all their releases use stock google kernels for nexus devices.
Update: I'm sucking at this.
Update: Still sucking. Hoping symlink commit on build/core/envsetup.mk will solve this sim card annoyance.
I'm getting this error. I am not rooted. I have tried every fix I've seen on google. I even removed the SD card and the problem still persists. The SD card ins't even in the device and I still get the error. One thing I have noticed is my media storage does not have an option to disable. I'm running out of options and can't figure out how to get rid of this error. I am unable to download anything. from files form email, from dropbox, mega and I cannot download any update from the play store. I tried a factory reset and nothing. I know this problem may have something to do with download manager and media storage but I can't get anything to work running android 5.0 please help
I want to just get another one but I'm afraid this could be tied to my profile
Edit: come to find out, the problem is with android 5.0. There is an issue where the download manager and device storage apps aren't syncing up. And the fix is found in.......you guess it.........android 5.1, which this device has never gotten. I know there is a custom rom for android 5.1 floating around. Could anyone just point me in the direction of the custom rom and a guide on rooting this device? I used odin a long time ago when this device was on 4.4 but I'm sure it's different now on 5.0.

I was using that ROM for 6 months with no issues.
Only thing I didn't like was the stock sms app is messed up and you have to use textra. I even tried another sms app like signal and it also didn't work correct.
There is a similar build called Darklord Reborn by mid3vil. The post claims the stock sms app works. However, the link to the file is dead at the moment.
There is also a post called Lots of ROMs 7.1 by NMBNMB that seems promising. I started dabbling into a couple.
Hope this helps.

Looking these over, it seems like they are all for hlte and not hltespr... Sprint being a CDMA based system may not want to play nice. It seems like Resurection Remix had more luck in this , but even there the OP crossed out the Sprint variant working on this.
I hear Sprint may be merging/bought up soon and so perhaps there may be a change in the bandwidth that will be allowed for us users?
