I hope you like this guide. If many people find this helpful, I will create a Part II:

Extend funcionality

Add custom quicktiles (ie. adblocktoggler)

Add soft-power-button

Workaround quickpulldown

Theme it using substratum

...

Cheers

P.S.: This is my first "big" Thread here, so please tell me if I break any rules. My only intention here is to give something back while hoping this could be useful to someone.

Also I wanted to say clearly: I did not develop anything here I wrote about. This is just a user-2-user guide, because many people reaches me via pm about multirom and nougat

Special thanks to [MENTION=4097221]bokbokan[/MENTION] for making all this possible with his multirom-friendly version of nougat!
