Update 04-24-15.
Please scroll down to post #27 as a starting point for this ROM development. @tx_dbs_tx has picked up the efforts and has it breathing. Please thank him for his efforts.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Update 1: 04-14-15 2121 hrs PDT. The update script doesn't work. The flash fails. I just tried it. I need to figure out where the problem is with the kitchen. I will take down the link for now.... Sorry guys.
Update 2: 04-15-15 0741 hrs PDT. In trying to figure out the issue with the kitchen, I broke the Ubuntu VM. I am in the process of rebuilding it, but that will take some time.
--------------------------------------
IF IT SEEMS LIKE I'M YELLING, IT IS BECAUSE I AM. THIS IS A PRE-PRE BETA BUILD. I AM NOT A DEV. I USED A KITCHEN THAT DOES NOT DIRECTLY SUPPORT THIS ROM. THIS IS BUILD WITH MY VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE. ANYTHING YOU DO WITH MY PRODUCT IS ALL ON YOU--YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE AND/OR BECOME STERILE. I JUST DON'T KNOW. IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO JACK UP YOUR PHONE AND STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO FIX YOUR PHONE, DON'T TRY THIS.
THIS BUILD MAY BE DOA. I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO FLASH OR TEST THIS, I JUST WANTED TO GET IT TO YOU GUYS ASAP. IT MAY NOT WORK AT ALL.
--This is a recovery flashable ROM
--[Should be] deodexed, if you see .odex files, they should be safe to delete
--zip aligned
--rooted (you will need to update SuperSU or maybe reapply CF Autoroot, update binary too)
--busybox and init.d support
--startup sound disabled
--includes modem/baseband
Step 1) Make nandroid/backup, backup your data again, and have a backup for your backup
A) If you're on my KK ROM
--download and flash via recovery
--wipe cache/dalvik
--reboot and pray
--if all works, phone will start w/ Lollipop and all your apps, you should have the OC8 baseband too, the only thing you don't have is the latest bootloader, which is okay most of the time. If you want that too, flash the stock package (see below).
B) If you OTA'd or odin'd the stock package
--root and install recovery
--go to A)
C) If you're on KK and want the LP bootloader
--odin the stock package (from my other thread)
--odin recovery
--go to A)
Let me know how it works out. Like I said, I just wanted to get this out ASAP. I have done exactly zero testing. No idea how it will work out. The instructions above are based on memory and off of the top of my head. If this doesn't work, restore from your backup and let me know, and I'll deodex using my old tried-and-true methods (which is much more time consuming).
Again, I want to manage your expectations. I have no confidence that this will work. If it does, it's a miracle! Good luck to us all....
Oh yea, the link [taken down for now]

Well it's alright. At the dismay and protest of my gf, I will flash this shortly and see how it works. Can't believe I'm taking the phone over [possible] sex.
Downloading to test
Thank you.
I just tested it. The updater script fails to execute. I'm looking into it.
I requested our firmware and kernel but they responded with this:[SAMSUNG OSRC COMMENTS DELIVERY NOTIFICATION]

FOSS = Free and Open-Source Software
It looks like they will only provide you with FOSS used in Samsung products, which makes sense.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I have been working on fixing the kitchen when I have time. If that doesn't work, I'll do it the traditional way, which is to extract the ROM manually, and deodex, etc. I don't do this often, so I have to figure things out each time. This will get done because I can't live without root and I can't live without Xposed customization. I am off to a business trip tomorrow, so I won't pick this up again until next Thursday or Friday. Thanks for your patience.
After a few hours of work, I got the VM and kitchen running again. I have also resolved the symlink issue. Instead of doing the work on a shared folder with the host, I expanded the VM Linux partition and do all the work there.
The updater script generated by the kitchen does not work. I suspect this is because of the unsupported kitchen.. I will try to use the script from the NK1 ROM. That should work fine.
I've run into something that I don't quite understand. I expect to see the \system\app and \system\priv-app to be full of apks and odex files. When I extracted the ROM, these two folders contain one sub-folder for each of the apk, containing the app apk and other folders. For example, for Maps:
system\app\maps\maps.apk
system\app\maps\arm\maps.odex.art.xz and maps.odex.xz
system\app\maps\lib\arm\*.so files
During odin or OTA, I believe a script would properly install these files. The traditional kitchen extraction doesn't provide for that. Because of this, I think I will need to first odin the stock package, run a nandroid, and use that as the basis for making the deodexed/rooted ROM.
At this time, if anyone can shed some light on what I am seeing, it would be helpful.
It would also be helpful if someone who has already OTA'ed or odin'd the Lollipop package, and have installed TWRP/CWM, can nandroid the /system and boot, and send those files to me. (It does not matter if it is rooted or not). I am off to a business trip later today, so I won't be able to do anything until I get back next Thursday. If no one sends me the files, I'll odin to Lollipop and extract the files myself when I return.
Thanks.

The medium one from this thread.

@snovvman
I think you mentioned being away for business...but if you need anything for assistance, let me know , I will be happy to send you files to get this moving along.
I am on rooted stock KK right now.
This rom is built directly from the stock MRA58R Google image.
PSA
For pin to work you will need a permissive kernel, Rom is currently running enforcing so flash a permissive kernel if you want pin. No issues if your using cataclysm. I'm working on figuring out the fix thanks.
It is basically just the system folder extracted from the MRA58R Google update and repackaged as a flashable zip with a stock kernel with added features by @gerar_f.
I packaged this together for people that want a Stock Bloated Google experience. Or a fully stock rom to customize to the users liking.
Any mod made for the stock google rom should work 100% here.
Cataclysm mod is recommended if your looking for a more custom rom experience and I fully support flashing it over this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/orig-development/rom-cataclysm-nexus-6-t3219121
Cataclysm flashes a kernel so if you like the added features of gerar_f's kernel then you will want to flash it after cataclysm. Link below
Rom Features
Odexed
None really. This is as stock Google as it gets, you will find all the gapps that will possibly fit in the system partition just like a stock google image.
Root is not included. Flash SuperSu 2.5.2 if you want. You can run this rom un-rooted with cataclysm mod flashed over top and have a custom unrooted rom with working android pay.
(Theoretically) I haven't been able to test pay around me
Busybox is also not installed so grab that from the playstore if you want/need it.
Included Kernel by @gerar_f
Included kernel is Custom "Stock" v4 created by @gerar_f big thanks to him and go over to his thread and drop a like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/kernel-stock-kernel-root-color-control-t3218958
Kernel is stock in behavior with a few features. First it is without forced encryption, It is Seandroid Enforcing and includes several features, Root with rw if rooted, Disabled boot verification warning, Color control, Headphone and mic gain control, Vibration control, Wake gestures, Multirom support.
TIPS
There is only 33mb free in the system partition due to google including so many gapps. In my testing ive found that this is enough for installing 1 layers theme and Cataclysm Mod.
Some gapps may need removed to install things like Xposed modules, and other apps to the system(TBO apps, better battery stats etc) or anything that takes up more than a few megs going into the system.
I personally remove Fit, Sheets, and Slides which gives you around 100mb free in system which is enough for my use. I recommend this app for removing system apps you dont want. Root Required.

Thanks
@gerar_f for great custom stock kernel. (I couldn't even begin to figure out how to customize a kernel)
@tupac4u for the updater-binary and update-script to flash the zip properly. (my attempts at making the script were futile)
@atl4ntis for making Cataclysm and inspiring me to create a stock rom for said mod to be flashed over.

@magnamentis @dhruvmalik for testing. @Chainfire for ROOTS!

I tried myself too but gave up
I wonder: this is a one time project? I mean if there's a new factory image can i just extract the system.img and put it into your zip and never ever bother you again?
(I'm not able to download today hence the question)
EDIT: please don't mind the kernel in this question

I'm planning on releasing more versions as Google releases it's monthly updates.
To answer your other question it's not as simple as just extracting the system.img but isnt too hard. Basically you extract the actual system.img from the Google update. Then use ext4 unpacker to unpack it into an ext4 file. Then you use ext2 explore to unpack the ext4 file which gives you the system folder with all the files within. Then just take the system folder a compatible boot.img and a working meta-inf folder and zip them up. Then you have your Rom.

Feel free to ask any other questions.
Yea that's very simple way to make a Rom. I wouldn't call myself a dev or anything. The other custom roms require a lot more work like modifying system apks to add the extra features. This is just full unmodified stock with a kernel. I figured it would be a great base to flash cataclysm over. Seeing how it's recommended to flash cataclysm over a full stock Rom this is as close as it gets right now. People have had luck flashing cataclysm over other stock modified roms but I worry that those modifications may cause issues with the modifications of cataclysm. With that said I'm personally running it without cataclysm. I just removed a few gapps I'll never use flashed and installed around 10 team blackout apps, and applied magpie midnight theme for a almost fully blacked out experience.

As stated above by others, I was also surprised that there wasn't a flashable stock ROM available, primarily for those who wish to be stock, use xposed and or mods like Cataclysm.
This is working awesome; thanks @GavinMazey
Great idea, I'll probably be checking it out soon with CatMod. Any chance you could debloat it? It's not hard for me to just use Tibu to do it, but one less thing to do is always nice. No worries if you can't.
Thanks for the rom!

I'm not really planning on debloating, there is a plethora debloated roms for the n6. But if enough end up wanting it I might. But if I do it would be my personal debloat instead of removing as much as possible. Keeping it stock let's me update faster when google drops new images.

+ 1 on NOT debloating. Every one could do it how they like it by themselves.
Thanks.. It's good to know I have an option to flash the zip. I might load up cataclysm tonight
This is great for those who want fresh out of box stock experience with working ANDROID PAY. Once you root it, trim it, customize it, then ANDROID PAY won't work.

Noted. That was my thought too stock bloated base for users to do what they want with it. I personally use most of the gapps included, I personally only delete sheets, slides, and fit (I may be a fatty lol). I've found most debloated roms remove too much so instead of having the gapps taking up system space I have to install them to internal storage taking up space where they don't need to be.
Too much free system space is wasted space imo.

If your already on android m you should be good to flash this then cataclysm. Report back how it went if you do. Haven't had too much feedback on users actually flashing it. Hopefully because all works great [emoji12]

That's exactly why I kept it unrooted. In theory someone could flash this Rom and then cataclysm without root and have a custom Rom with working Pay just no root. No where that I've been around me accepts pay so I am unable to test. But in theory it should work.

Flashing cataclysm will replace the included kernel with cataclysm kernel which you'll need to check supports multirom, I'm not sure off the top of my head. But if not re flashing the included kernel by gerar_f after cataclysm will give you multirom support. Also I'm not entirely sure you can run kitkat and marshmallow in multirom at the same time. I haven't used it myself but I think (I may be wrong) that multirom uses your main kernel for all other roms. So a different android version may not work properly. Again I might be wrong.

I was able to make an att debloat file for package disabler pro. Every time I would look on the forums for a recent xml file i would only find files to disabke verizon,sprint and tmobile bloat so i decided to fix the problem myself. this works on the s7 and s7 edge on att, keep in mind some things won't be disabled if you are on marshmallow because some packages were removed with the nougat update and i don't want to downgrade right now so you may have to find those yourselves. one more thing if you have overheating and battery drain issues before doing this, disabling the packages fixed those issues on my phone hopefully it fixes yours of you had a problem with it. I will have to post the package names in a reply to the post because it won't post if I dont also don't forget to re enable things that you actually use. here are two ways of doing this
Purchase and install package disabler pro, once downloaded open app and look for import xml then look for the att debloat file you downloaded and then when it's finished it would be best to reboot and go back into the app to make sure it's running and you're done

I just gave it a shot. I ran the script and wiped my cache. I'll see how it goes for the next couple of days.

Every time I would look on the forums for a recent xml file i would only find files to disabke verizon,sprint and tmobile bloat so i decided to fix the problem myself. this works on the s7 and s7 edge on att, keep in mind some things won't be disabled if you are on marshmallow because some packages were removed with the nougat update and i don't want to downgrade right now so you may have to find those yourselves. one more thing if you have overheating and battery drain issues before doing this, disabling the packages fixed those issues on my phone hopefully it fixes yours of you had a problem with it. I will have to post the package names in a reply to the post because it won't post if I dont also don't forget to re enable things that you actually use

It's best if you download a Samsung package disabler app from the play Store but you have to buy it I'll include instructions soon I have to do some more testing

I ran the script using PDP, rebooted into recovery, wiped the cache, then rebooted. It hasn't happened since that first boot, and Knox hasn't been tripped.

It would be nice if someone can port the stock launcher with app drawer to a rootless v20.
They released a reworked stock launcher with app drawer on the v30, and we are still running something that belongs to the android Lollipop days.

Let's hop so.
The stock lg v20 apps need an update.
Samsung does a better job at this, they post all their apps on APKmirror, I remember having the s8 launcher, messages app, phone app... installed on my note 5 via apkmirror.
LG's software team is like 2 guys who spend most of their day trying to figure out how to make lg's skin like samsung. (and badly failing at it).
Also, if you read the review, everyone is praising the lgv30 as being the new underdog and whatever, the same as it was with the v20. Non of these reviewers actually use an LG phone, because none of them says anything about the POOR software support. It's terrible.
I know I might not post on topic but anyone know where can I find lg calander and lg clock?
Or someone can post it please
Thx
Would it be possible to install any of these apks in collaboration with the V20 stock apps?
For example; install V30 music player but keep the V20s stock player intact?

Maybe... If you can change the name of the APK. But even then it might have dependencies. Might butt heads

Hmm, I see.. Perhaps it would be possible to backup the stock V20 app in Titanium Backup and then replace with a V30 variant.

Don't know if that will work. Being you have doubles going on and conflicting. Doesn't hurt to try. What's the worst you can do.. won't open, force close..... Try adding a number to file and APK, anything that can create a double just change name by adding number, like, lgcam2 would be the V30. That way it doesn't conflict. Just a thought.

Just make a copy of the APK and any other files that are with it and save it somewhere else

Most like this would require one of the apk versions (v20 or v30) to have edits to the android-manifest of a decompiled apk. Reason being the package name of the apk's rarely change, even it the name of the app does.
So if you included both versions in the system, even if they were named differently, the system would get overloaded when it calls for a package and gets two answers.
Now l if the v30 apk's have new package names this could work without major edits. One way to check the package name is by using Tib and click on the app in question from the list. Then click on the section shown in the screenshots.
If the package names are different, easy stuff for someone to include both version, if the are the same, then you will need someone with more advanced knowledge of modding apks. I do not suggest the later for anyone unless you really know what you're doing.
Good idea though. I may look into adding some of thes options when i have more free time.
If anyone has installed a particualr v30 app and would like to see these options available in an Aroma pa kage or similar mod, post the details and we can put something together!
i've tried the most common way, downloading the system dump. extracting and push to the directory, LgHome, LGeasyhome, and lg backup launcher. set permission and reboot. now lg launcher FC, lol. i've already made a backup of those original apk/odex and restoring them. looks like we need experience porter since copy paste method didnt work.

I am happy to see people are reading and participating in development! That's what this place is about right?
Thank you for the words!
I would like to know if anyone can confirm any of the v30 apps work and if so which ones?
I only ask because I believe the v30 is running UX6 and wouldn't thing many of any apps would work for our older version UI.
I am sure the UX6 port rom would have better luck, but I am not sure since I haven't looked much into this.
Anyways, like I said, glad to see people making backups amd experimenting with different things!
Good job guys!
Btw, how did you create the backup? Just copied the files to a know location and tranger back via recovery or adb?
Or did you create a flashable zip?
If you don't have a flashable zip for easy recovery let me know and I cam send you a template zip and quick instructions on how to create the zip in seconds from your phone.
nahh.. i had no idea about making flashable backup even adb seems little hard for me. for testing launcher i've installer third party launcher and make a copy of everything inside /system folder. and put it back once i messed something

That is one way, however can get very time intense if you are changing out a batch of files with libs, xml etc.
For that I like the zip method. I have went ahead and written a quick tutorial for how to create the flashable zip and uploaded my zip template so you or anyone who needs it.
Check this post.
Good luck and feel free to reply in that thread for any questions

Hey RealWelder,
thanks so much for working on this device, I coudn't believe when I saw someone was posting about it so recently. I am still desperately searching for a SM-G360P ROM without carrier lock. Could you tell me which Stock-Rom (Boost/Sprint/Virgin etc.) this ROM is based on? Do you think it's possible to deactivate the carrier lock in a ROM at all?
Also: Have you found any custom roms for the 360P or tweaked some to work on the device?
I installed your modded ROM and really like the modifications you did. Great job! Now, if the phone would accept my SIM-Card instead of showing "Invalid SIM", I'd be totally satisfied
Thanks again & keep up the good work!

I'm not too sure about the carrier lock, I would think with a SIM it would work on any GSM network, but that's not always the case. This is the Boost Variant and the firmware is the latest, G360PVPS2APE2.
So far I've not found anything other than modified stock ROMs for the device, but we have everything we need besides someone who can actually build it from source. At one time Blazer64 had CM11 on his Core Prime, (his was s820l through Straight Talk) but I think the project was abandoned. I can modify, but building from source isn't even possible with my current dinosaur of a PC. Lol

I'm not 100% sure my SIM-card isn't detected because of a carrier-lock. I brought the phone from the US and now use it in Germany, so that may be why...
Having Lineage on my SM-G360P would be a dream, maybe some day a dev feels up to the task. I'd even invest some money, if somebody was willing. It's not even because I particularly love the phone (I actually have a working Huawei phone), but simply because I don't feel like throwing it away. Damn all these manufacturers for abandoning their models so shortly after release.
Do you perhaps know how one would get into ROM-building and Modding? Are there any decent resources you know of?

Yes, check out @tdunham Unified TouchWiz Guides and Mods thread. There you will find (near the bottom of the 1st page) a link to Custom Settings by @ficeto. You can download it and use it instead of ROM Control (which is for 5.0+) to use the mods. Also @venkat kamesh has a signing tool that I used to resign the Custom Settings app after I modified it.

I did that on my own, you can decompile my SystemUI_ESS.apk with apktool and check it out. Most of the changes are in Notification_Header.xml, Status_Bar.xml, and Status_Bar_Expanded.xml as well as /values/Colors.xml and /values/Drawables.xml.
Make sure you search through all of the various values folders because there are different Colors.xml and Drawables.xml for each screen size. Same with /layout which is where the other 3 files are. (mdpi, hdpi, etc.)

Excellent work with this rom. I was finally able to get xposed working on this phone after flashing your rom. And the twrp for this rom works great. I like the bootanimation you made, I tried to change it and was unable to. Any suggestions? I tried putting bak at the end of every file and even added my zip to the folder with no avail. Help me please @RealWelder And one last thing, I get this annoying pop-up that my software has been updated every time the phone boots and I can't get rid of it. The xposed apps notify clean and receiver stop are useless for it. I tried disabling system software update apps with root uninstaller pro and still nothing.

The bootanimation should be pretty easy, just replace bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ with you own. (Or use an app like JRummy's Bootanimation app.) I'm not sure what's up with the update, unless Boost finally did one. I don't have a SIM or service on mine so I would be unable to get it currently. I'll see what I can figure out, though.

I did put my zip in system/media and even put bak at the end of every boot file. Before that I tried the Samsung boot animation app and it didn't work. Hence the reason why I tried other options.

Hey just don't worry about the boot animation. Once I got Xposed and all the Xposed apps up and running, I did a backup. Good thing too, messing with the boot animations made the phone to work real slow. I said to hell with it and just did a restore in twrp. As much as I would want this phone to boot like my Samsung tab 4 with the Stargate animation, it doesn't seem worth the effort. So don't trouble yourself messing with it @RealWelder. I appreciate what you did with this rom. Changing the architecture to an arm7 I believe. Well anyways, Xposed accepts it now. I can't thank you enough!

You're gonna need some tools. Apktool.jar or other program which uses apktool to decompile and recompile apks. It's also a good idea to keep newer and older versions of smali and baksmali.jar(s) because smali code has changed a bit and sometimes you have to baksmali with an older version and then smali with the newer version to convert code. Next you'll want to go check out TDunham's Ultimate TouchWiz guides and mods thread. There you will find all of the tutorials and mods.

You don't install that zip just extract it into a folder on your computer and then find a thread that explains how to use it. My instructions will help some, but it was written for a different device so the frameworks that you install be different.

Hey man, I was just wondering. Can I install a custom ROM from a different phone? Like Sm-g360h? I don't care if I can make phone calls as long as the ROM works? You think it will boot loop or even worse, brick my phone?
Edit: if anything happens to my phone, I will NOT hold anyone responsible besides me. Don't worry lol
