[Nexus 5 Android Development] chairshot215:
So it has been a long time in the works and feels like have been working on this forever. First it was an AOSP Rom, then Caf and at some point both. For now the Rom is AOSP 5.1.1 based.

Is still not 100% but have decided to just go ahead and post the Rom and improve and update.

If you have seen the Test Flight CM based version that had been posted with the Starship Kernel the overall theme is pretty much the same.

The mission now is to first go over a few parts of the theme that bug me or did not translate well in the CM to AOSP Transition such as lightening up some text so is easier to read with darker backgrounds. Second mission is go over every APK one by one and fine tune the theme and add in any extra features. Will post an update as each APK has been completed. Most of the work is done in some form or another but have spent ages nitpicking everything to death and have an external drive filled with already completed images, Colour XML's and lots of uncommitted features so updates will come rather quickly. Honestly at this point am just going to start with the APK's in Alphabetical order so if you like the Rom and theme but a few particular things bug you just let me know and I will not mind jumping ahead. Also with each Rom update not only expect app and theme improvements but kernel and other system enhancements as most are already lined up and just need to be tested in the Rom's new incarnation. It has probably seen some better days but with my constant picking and changing have gone back and forth with so many things I think its best to just post so Starship is out there and now start finalizing. What is currently posted is bare bones themed and featuring a Kernel I have also spent almost a year working on. If you had used the Kit-Kat version of Starship then already know how fast the Rom will be improved and updated based on legitimate feedback. I know I am making things out like this is an incomplete Rom but have been using and been very happy with what is posted as my daily. Yes still need to improve a few things but the truth is I am never happy with anything I do and would have kept changing direction until Android N.

Until next time keep looking up!!

Installing

This version was not compiled using the new block based zip format so will take a bit longer when flashing the Rom. Just a warning for anyone who may think something is wrong. It Just takes a minute longer to flash.

Otherwise besides first performing the usual Wipe of Caches, System and Data also recommend flashing the Rom first, Gapps second and SuperSU last.

G-Apps

I recommend using the Banks 5.21.15 version of Gapps and have posted a link below. I don’t like reposting someone else’s work but just now discovered the 6.17.15 version seems glichy during the set-up wizard sometimes needing to be in landscape mode when making a selection so have reposted the version used during testing. Have also posted a link to the 6.17.15 version but found for example during the restore option selecting done will only register the selection in landscape mode.

Kernel

I will continue keeping a separate thread for Starship Kernels that may update faster than the Rom so can keep a look out here.
