Hi Guys,
I've created GUI app to easily sideload your apks to the Amazon FTV & Stick.... I will be updating it over time with extra bells and whistles.
Please take note that this app contains Towel root exploit which some virus checkers will report a false positive. (This app is 100% virus free)
I do not take any responsibility if you root your device and it gets bricked.
The link below will direct you to the download page where you will find the app.

I've tested it on Win7, Win8, and Win10.

1. Unzip the folder to "C:\FTV"
2. Launch app "FTV Side App Installer.exe"
3. CMD will launch automatically and run the ADB commands.
4. Once its all done it will confirm "Success" in the CMD window.
I've only tested it on Win8, but should work on Win7.
Enjoy
P.S I don't take any credit for the adb.exe and dll files. Just the frontend GUI interface.

What did you code this in? VB?
If i could suggest something, You can code a radio button that says AutoPilot and another that says Llama where it would download the apk from the web or include them in your zip file. Autopilot allows to automatically boot into xbmc upon reboot and llama lets you change the home button action.
If you go the download apks on the fly route can you use this command line to download the files
bitsadmin.exe /transfer "AutoPilot" "https://diegomejia.globat.com/android/AutoPilot.apk" c:\FTV\Autopilot.apk

wondering how hard it would be to automatically detect the amazon fire tv IP. Either scan for a series of ports that are open on the FTV or you can say make sure the FTV is off, scan the network for all IPs then have the user power on the FTV and scan it again. Compare the IPs and if done correctly there should be an IP that appears on the second list thats not on the first. Sorry for all the requests i just think its cool what you did and know these features would mean alot

wouldnt the backup of xbmc depend on the XBMC version you were running?
For Regular XBMC
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/
For SPMC Version:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.semperpax.spmc/files/.xbmc/
For XBMC on Ouya Version:
/sdcard/Android/data/tv.ouya.xbmc/files/.xbmc/
It might be easier to code a variable with the location and have three radio buttons (XBMC, SPMC, Ouya) on the top where they would choose the version they were running. Would keep it cleaner

Good point... Will update on for the next release... Cheers
Also, when installing XBMC, a -r is needed to preserve all your XBMC settings. adb install -r xbmc.apk
Could something like that be added?

also instead having a different button for ouya splashscreen and gotham splashscreen you should create one button that ties into what they choose as their xbmc version. You should make it so those buttons are disabled until they choose their XBMC version.
Worked okay to save my xbmc data

So it installs XBMC without preserving all the settings during the install like -r would?

If you are responding to my post, I had uninstalled it before loading the next version. I've been removing stuff to save room. So I am not sure if it would have preserved anything or not.

Download package from:
PA-HD2_v2.54-2.9.zip - 305.17 MB
MD5: cc7609a6343dd0d502e44abe8cc3b27b
CREATE BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
Check known issues
System size: 180 MB for minimal, 290 MB for full, 360 MB for the full+odex install
Note: Odexed system will be ~330 MB only, but the process requires some temp space under /system.
Installation steps:
1. Choose kernel - tytung's JB kernel / marc1706's JB kernel
2. Choose location - NAND, NAND with DataOnEXT; NativeSD on SD-EXT (with tytung's kernel)
3. Select data connection - PPP, RMNET (only if bootloader is MAGLDR)
4. Select SWAP or skip step
5. Choose SYSTEM/DATA apps - keyboard, gallery, launcher, now/talk/tts, mail/music/maps/calendar, both 4.1 and 4.2 are available
6. Select wipe method - dalvik-cache only, data/factory (NativeSD safe), none;
7. Select ODEXing or skip step
8. Select/Skip option to retain your PA-Preferences configuration
9. Done - run installer
Use ROM Toolbox from PlayStore, go to Performance -> Memory manager; choose Presets -> Strict (or Aggressive). Apply and select "Apply at boot".
Note: The P.A.C. framework support is just an update on top of PA-HD2, you can't run the two versions parallel, the ROM will use the same PA-HD2 SD-EXT/NativeSD ID/sub-directory!

Issues
My other HD2 is broken, can't do testing or everyday development, but will try to add features and updates
On first boot the Google TTS will crash - if installed.
If you have low ringtone / missing notification sound issues on v2.52-1.x, use this workaround:
go to Settings->Sound->Volumes
unset "Link ringtones & notifications volumes"
set both of them to lowest values
set them to the expected values
The 2G notification toggle does not work. You have to go to Settings->Wireless&networks->Mobile networks (or long press 2G toggle) to turn on/off the 2G-only setting.
On v2.52-1.x don't use RMNET with MAGLDR+marc1706
If you can't boot the ROM, please repeat the installation with the following steps:
Install as before, choose the same options
After deployment finished, save the log files
On the next screen deselect the reboot option
Finish deployment and go back to recovery
Attach phone to desktop, mount usb, copy log from root of the SD to desktop and upload/share the file
Also add the following details to your comment: phone (512/1024), bootloader (cLK/MAGLDR), recovery, kernel, installation (NAND, NAND w/ DataOnEXT, NativeSD), or even partition layout...
Tools / Fixes
See 2nd post for tools for v2.52-1.x
v2.54-2.3 and up has the following tools included in the installer
Manage packed applications: install/remove or switch between 4.1 and 4.2 apps
Change kernel/connection: change the kernel (tytung's, marc1706's) and/or connection type (ppp, RMNET) w/o re-installing the ROM
reODEX: re-ODEX the system after changing system apps/framework
Swap install/remove: install/remove init.d script for swap
Change framework between PA and P.A.C. (depends on the changes applied under P.A.C.)
Change HTC-RIL library between HTC-RIL_2.2.1001G and HTC-RIL_2.2.0054HM

No, unfortunately the sound issue exists, I think it's a CM based issue...
You have to
go to Settings->Sound->Volumes
unset "Link ringtones & notifications volumes"
set both of them to lowest values

1. Give more details: device, bootloader, recovery, partition layout, type of deployment.
2. Do a new clean install and "save log" if done. On the reboot step do not reboot but go back to recovery, attach device to desktop, enable usb storage in recovery, copy file from SD and upload log to somewhere...

1. you mean the AOKP Rom Control? - No, until PAC is only mixing PA and AOKP without real merge, I'll try to stay with clean PA.
2. on EU-leo you have to use DataOnEXT type of deployment. The rom could be stripped down to ~175MB, but it's still big to share NAND between SYSTEM and DATA...
3. Wait a few minutes, do a reboot than wait a few mins - especially if you are on SD-EXT as starting up apps trying to access SD in parallel which is quite painful for SD.
Please note, that animations are turned on, to get more resps, go to Settings->Developer options, scroll down and set animation/duration scales to off (window, transition and animator).

Please see here for the new version!
Install DSP Manager, CM Messaging and others on all 4.2.x, 4.3 and 4.4.x ROM's !!
It's now on the play store! Check it out here
For all those that want Cyanogenmod apps on any AOSP-based 4.1 or above ROM, I have made this quick app "CM App Installer"
All apps here are pulled from a CM10.1 zip and tested and should be working on all 4.2.x and 4.3 AOSP roms.
I also tried it on my rooted HTC Desire Z I have lying around running 4.1, so it should work on there as well. Only released for the Nexus 4 because that's all it's really been tested on; if you want to test it out on other ROM's and Devices, please feel free, but again, I do not take responsibility if it goes wrong
This application is designed to add more automation to the process of replacing / installing cyanogenmod apps as system applications, or the regular way, however it is slightly less likely to succeed.
This app installs like any other app.
In addition, it has root permissions to install if you're rooted, so you should be granted SU when you first boot, and it does write to system partition - Read the Code section if you're worried about exactly what gets executed. Installing the regular way will obviously not require this, but sometimes as these are pulled straight from the System partition, they require to be installed as a system app.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The process is pretty simple, hit the app, hit install, and then reboot your device.
You can go into more than 1 app at a time and hit install, the restart will refresh your system apps list no matter how many you've added.
At the moment, the following apps are supported
- CM File Manager
- CM Messaging
- CM Torch
- CM DSP Manager
- CM Apollo
- CM Calculator
- Voice +
- CM Focal
Code
This information is also available from within the application.
There are a number of commands that this application uses, it executes certain processes through the code to copy apps to the system directory.
These commands are ran as if they were ran inside the terminal emulator, and always consist of
process, remount to read-write, transfer/copy/rename, remount to read-only, close. (In this order).
I use a Process to get a SU Runtime instance
Code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
And then I use a PrintStream to issue the commands listed below to it.
Remount the system partition as read-write
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Rename an app (use move command to move with a different extension
Code:
mv /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk /system/app/AppOfChoice.bak
Copy an app from SD card to System directory
Code:
cat /sdcard/CMApps/AppOfChoice.apk > /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remove an app from system partition
Code:
rm -r /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
For permissions, I use chmod
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remount the system partition as read-only
Code:
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Obviously I don't take any credit for the applications, they were pulled from the CM flashable zip. All credit for the apps goes to the CyanogenMod Team
Credit also goes to the Reddit member /u/wchill, his code helped with the system code (shown in the Code section above)
Similarly, I do not take any responsibility if this app causes your phone to be bricked, corrupted, broken, or to encounter an unfortunate case of spontaneous combustion. Use at your own risk.
In the mean time, enjoy!

Nice!, I really like the CM File Manager and now I have a chance to get it.
EDIT: Wait, it looks like that out will be a system app then, any chance of it being a user app?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
It is, its supposed to install the apps as system apps instead of regular apps, its the only way to get the messaging or DSP manager working

This installed the File Manager on my HTC One perfectly! Thanks!
I have a quick question about this. It seems like such an awesome app. Will this keep apps updated as changes are made? Particularly with the Focal app. I really want to keep up with this as it progresses and develops over time and I am not really sure how to do it except pull it out of a CM nightly ever so often as they update it. Will this app keep the apps I'm downloading updated over time or is it a one time DL that's kinda the version you get deal? Thanks again!

Hi, yeah in it's current state, the apk's are stored within the app itself, and they just get copied and pushed around from there, completely offline. I do intent too when I find a service or a server, or a perminant location where the latest are pushed as the apks, then i'll introduce some server side integration into it, and it will download the latest version.. This is planned in the future
But to answer your original question, no, version 2.0.1 has only a certain version of the apk in it, and that's all it will have
Will look into server streaming and stuff soon though, thanks for commenting
Some CM apps require more files, afaik
eg.
DSPManager needs /system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogen-dsp.so and /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
Really? :S I've done it on my nexus 4 running a stock build of 4.3 :S Works fine :S
Sent via. Nexus 4
Update
For all those following or remotely interested in this, here's the plan
Develop version 3.0, including networking code, downloading the apk's and pushing as system apps that way, allowing for dynamic expandability, and pushing the latest version of the apks to the device in question
- I can confirm on this front that this version is in the works, I took some time off, had a few chores to do around where I live, but back on track now, next version should be here in a couple of days or so, hopefully
Release on Google play store, now I need to wait till I can put some money in my bank (as I have mere pence in there at the moment), buy a license, and get this thing up and running.

Thanks a lot dude; I was starting to think this app is a no-go :/
I get paid on the 29th of August, so i'll try and get play license by then, I wanna make this official and up there (plus, it's useful to put on a CV or my University application )
The UI has been re-designed (mainly because I wanted to expand my knowledge of the UI features available to me)..
Basic shell of the app at the moment is that it downloads a list of available apps from free server space I managed to find, parse the text, and then design the UI with the apps from the list.. (the idea being if I want to add another application to the app, I can do it all server-side, no need for an update) From that, it downloads locations to download the apks, again, hopefully completely dynamically expandable...
Run into a little bug that's been driving me crazy, where root commands aren't working... The app is pretty much developed, the UI and stuff done, I just need to do some stuff with images in the app, and then getting these damn root commands working..
To anyone with programming experience, I'm running emulating su shell commands, and the "su cat /sdcard/CMApps/Test.apk > /system/app/Test.apk" is just copying a blank file of 0bytes, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it, especially due to the fact I copied and pasted the working one from the old version in an attempt; so might be a bit longer than a few days, depending on the root cause of this issue.. i'll keep you posted...
TL;DR: Everything currently works, except the main function of the app.
Edit: Reckon it's a problem with BusyBox, as I just installed my old version and getting the same bug.. One step closer!
Edit 2: I'm such a freakin' idiot... I went through flashing 4 different ROM's, 3 were 4.3, and 1 was 4.2.2 to find out what the problem ended up being.. Ehh, for the love of god.. Right! Version 3 is up soon I promise
Edit 3: For the love of god :L Right, my server space (because I really didn't pay much for it at all) is under maintanace for a few days..
Play store
Version 3.0.3 is up in the play store! Check out OP for changelog, or grab it here
It downloads the apps nicely but I had some trouble getting them to install. Manually copied them from the sdcard to /system/apps and they installed fine. All except for the messaging apk. Force closes on me when I try anything. Can't click to start a message or even get into settings. Running a stock 4.3 rom, a few modifications, deodexed.

The idea should be you just hit reboot once installed, the app should copy them over as system folder automatically.. The messaging is a little weird, might be something to do with odexed and deodexed ROM's, i'm not sure which is which though..

Life's been really crazy. Development computer is on it's last leg. XDA hasn't been sending me notifications for this thread. Lots of excuses.
I really don't have much time to be maintaining all this, and I do apologize to any of you I've inconvenienced. But I have put together a present for you guys. A Python script that will decompile an APK, modify its intent to act as a Launcher, then recompile the APK. No guarantees on this one, and things could blow up if intent strings don't match up in the future, but hopefully some find it helpful and carry on what I've been doing.
Requirements:
Windows PC
Python 3.x (tested with 3.5.1)
Java JRE (tested with 8u74)
A Kodi APK (tested with Kodi 16.0 ARM APK)
Download and unzip MakeKodiLauncher.zip
Put the desired Kodi APK in the extracted "in" folder
Run MakeKodiLauncher.py
When prompted, enter the full name (with extension) of the APK you placed
Let script decompile the APK and insert Launcher intent
(Optional) When the script pauses, make further modifications to APK source files in "temp" folder (ie. insert skins, addons, etc)
Let script recompile and sign the APK
Find newly signed APK in the "out" folder
I don't know if I'll ever get to updating my skin and addons, as I'm pretty set with staying on 15.2 myself and there is a lot of other great work out there. If anyone wants to fork my repo and make changes though, feel free.
----------------------------------------------------
Warning: A new update to the FTV has been pushed out (version 51.1.2.0), and is reported to be unrootable. If you haven't done so yet (and haven't received the update) I highly recommend disabling automatic updates.
If your device does get the update, XBMC should continue to work but will lose Launcher functionality.
I created a slightly modified package of XBMC/Kodi for the Fire TV that I've been using as the main launcher. I thought I'd share it with anyone interested.
Modifications:
Jarvis:
Set Android intent to run as Launcher
Helix & Isengard:
Set Android intent to run as Launcher
Included my XBMC addon repo. See description below. All other modifications that were built into my Gotham builds can be installed as needed from my repo.
Gotham:
Set Android intent to run as Launcher
Set XBMC on FireTV splash screen
Pre-configured Alternate keymap 3 (includes functionality for FF and RW buttons on the FTV controller)
Pre-set "Remote control sends keyboard presses"
Pre-set "Libstagefright" for video acceleration
Removed unnecessary built-in skin "Touched"
Included my "Confluence++" skin, set as default. See description below. (original Confluence skin is still included).
Included my "Android Power Options" screensaver. See description below. Now XBMC can automatically put the FTV to sleep!
Included my XBMC addon repo. See description below.
elmerohueso's XBMC addon repo:
Includes my "Confluence++" skin and "Android Power Options" screensaver, so that they can pull down updates automatically. The repo also includes some other addons that are simply shortcuts to open apps on the FTV, allowing them to be added to the Home screen on any skin. To access, go to System > Settings > Addons > Get Addons > elmerohueso's repo.
"Confluence++" skin:
My modified "Confluence" skin. Changelog/list of modifications.
"Android Power Options" screensaver:
This provides ability to automatically Sleep or Power Off rooted Android devices, along with the option to logoff your XBMC profile prior to sleeping. It includes a SU Permissions check in Settings so you can give XBMC persistent SuperUser permissions.. To enable, go to System > Settings > Appearance > Screensaver and select the "Android Power Options" screensaver. Make sure to check its Settings after selecting it.
For additional changes since the initial version, please see the addon changelog.
Note: I don't recommend having the screensaver power off the FTV as it has no power button. This ability is geared toward other Android devices.
Prequisites:
Root the FireTV
Install Xposed framework
Install rbox's Xposed module to allow alternate Home launchers
Important Notes:
This package is signed with One Click APK Signer, so it will have a different signature than official releases of XBMC. As such, you will need to uninstall any official XBMC releases first, and may lose any previous settings in XBMC. I recommend using the XBMC Backup addon in the official XBMC.org Repo to backup and restore your XBMC settings.
Make sure you actually enable rbox's Xposed module by ticking the checkbox in Xposed Installer's Modules section. This may require a mouse.

Hi
This works great, running the exact setup described here.
Just wondering how can I return to the firetv launcher if I ever need to?
in case xbmc failed or something, and I need to reinstall it.
or to run other .apk
Thanks
Thanks so much! I was about to return my Fire TV until I installed this. Now I might buy 1 or 2 more before they patch the root method.

Superbeam is great for fast file transfers from my phone.
ES File explorer I use as an FTP server so I can transfer from my PC.
I can use it like a Chromecast with BubbleUPNP
And most importantly the remote lets me do it all and the XBMC behaves perfectly.

The APK doesn't actually replace the KFTV Launcher on the system. You can access the KFTV Launcher, or any other app on the box, directly from XBMC by going to Programs > Android Apps.
If anything ever goes wrong and XBMC can't boot, you'll automatically go to the KFTV Launcher. That is due to how rbox's Xposed mod works; it looks for any installed app with a HOME intent (which my modified XBMC package has), and then falls back to the KFTV Launcher if it can't find one.
I use the exit option in XBMC in order to restart it.

To restart XBMC, or the box?
You can still kill XBMC by starting the KFTV Launcher under Android Apps and killing XBMC there.
To reboot the KFTV altogether, hold down Select and Play for 5 seconds.
Why do you need to restart XBMC if it's the launcher? Only scenario I can think of is if XBMC froze, but then you wouldn't be able to access the Exit button anyway.

It's often necessary to Exit or restart XBMC. Many add-ons require XBMC to restart to complete a function. Also, when checking/reading logs, refreshing Keymaps, etc.
I have found that being able to easily EXIT XBMC is crucial.

Since I use this as my always-on launcher, and already have it customized to the setup I want, I'm not exiting XBMC very frequently. In fact, the only time I do is to install a new XBMC build. But I do see where you're coming from. I've just found other ways around it.
I've found that most addons, keymaps, and other setting changes don't actually require you to fully exit XBMC, but just to logoff your XBMC profile and log back in (which will reload everything in your userdata folder). For logs and debugging I either pull the logs to my PC over SSH/SFTP/ADB, or use the Log Uploader addon. Both can be done with XBMC still running. For the few times I do want to fully reboot XBMC, I either access KFTV Launcher via Program > Android Apps and Force Stop XBMC in there, or I just reboot my FTV.
However, do keep in mind that my removal of the Exit feature only affects the Confluence skin itself. The feature has not been removed from XBMC. I may decide to re-package my modified Confluence skin rather than overwrite the original, though. I guess I could also create a Program addon to kill/restart XBMC, so it can still be done but is hidden away from kids. In the meantime, you could either try the workarounds I suggested or use another skin altogether.

Since this build has a different signature than official releases of XBMC, you cannot install it over the top of official builds. You will need to uninstall the official XBMC releases first, and you may lose any previous settings in XBMC. I recommend using the XBMC Backup addon in the official XBMC.org Repo to backup your XBMC settings prior to uninstalling, the use it to restore the settings after installing my build.
I would love to use XBMC as the default launcher but the app crash every time when I access the android app menu.
Was wondering if anyone has encounter this before?

In XBMC? Change your skin to Confluence. If you don't like Confluence, favorite the apps you use a lot and find a skin that lets you put them on the main shelf/menu.
Thanks for uploading this I will check it out when I get a chance.
Do you think I can just restore everything that the XBMC Backup add-on saves, or should there be something excluded...

Everything should be fine. Just be aware that restoring old keymaps/settings will take precedence over the ones included, but you can clear out whatever you don't want afterwards.

Rooting, installation and config worked without any issues.
How do I turn off KFTV from XBMC please?
The power option was removed, as stated in the first post.

XBMC never had an option to turn off the FTV. It only had an option to exit XBMC itself.
There's no real way to turn off the FTV other than unplugging it. The FTV does have a screensaver/sleep mode, but I haven't figured out how to call it from XBMC, yet. Fortunately, the FTV power draw is really, really low.
Average: ~4 watts
Peak: ~6 watts
Idle: ~2.5 watts
Power rates in my area range from 8 to 11 cents per kwH, so running at peak for 24 hours would still cost me less than 2 cents.
custom rom similar to Roku interface?
Any way to get a custom rom similar in interface to the Roku? Don't want to be forced into XBMC as the Fire TV Netflix is far better and the XBMC has a dreadful interface save for the great add ons.

XBMC is not a ROM, it's just an app (an in this case, it's acting as your Home launcher).
There are tons of skins available for XBMC. Get them from System > Settings > Appearance > Skin > Get More. I'd suggest reading about them in the XBMC wiki.
XBMC doesn't play Netflix. If you select use the Netflix shortcut in my repo, it will simply launch the FTV's existing Netflix app.
Now the only thing missing is to get the voice search to work in xbmc

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to get the windows adb drivers installed. I was trying to update drivers for "Shield Android TV" and get the message "the folder you specify doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 based systems"
I'm not coming up with any unknown devices or any devices with an exclamation point in device manager.

Download and have a play. Hopefully will answer your own question
Its more than just an app sideloader from the comfort of your chair. It has many additional functions and will grow over time.
Currently to get you started:
Sideload apps directly from PC without having to transfer to USB.
Uninstall apps remotely from PC
Extract apk files remotely from PC
Take Screenshots and transfer to PC directly
Take Video and transfer to PC directly
Turn On or put device to Sleep from PC
Customise your Kodi
Backup and restore your Kodi settings
Virtual Keyboard and remote from PC

You need the ADB USB Windows drivers installed on your PC if you want to connect via the cable.
Until NVidia decides to turn ADB over Network you will manually need to do this with a USB cable so you can run the app over your network without a USB cable attached.

Thanks for that. I added the generic Drivers in my app that work fine, but good to know they have their own.
Would be good to find a user guide somewhere how to download and install them on the PC.... I've been asked a few times but can't find the time... I will try and do a nice user giude when I can.
That would be very nice and helpful.

Hi its currently only a guide on which box your requested to connect to... ADB is limited on what it reports back when it connects. I am working on a solution.
If you click on the connected status at the bottom it will popup a box with the current status
or
If you select "Normal debug mode" in settings then click "Connect via IP" from "File" menu. A cmd window will open and report of any issues if not connected.
This looks like an awesome tool for the Shield Tv. I'll definitely check it out once my shield arrives later today. I see you have a Kodi configuration section in the tool, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add this feature in to change the Kodi data directory. I can see this being very useful for owners of the 16GB model.
Also for reference they are discussing this is the Kodi forum here

Hello guys, this is an unofficial build of AOSP Nougat (with tag android-7.0.0_r6). Kernel is based on CM13's, with some recent commits in kernel/common in AOSP. Sources and patches are available at the end of the post.
Note: this ROM is just for having the first taste of Nougat, and thus missing a lot of key features. I may not be able to update it regularly.
Basic hardware functionality:
Almost everything works, except video hardware encoding, which causes camcorder to fail. HW decoding works though.
Everything should be working since 20160903.
I didn't find more hardware failures, but there can be more.
And remember, the proprietary firmwares and blobs are still in the age of Marshmallow, and a system won't be complete without corresponding firmwares and blobs.
Known bugs:
1. HW disk encryption is likely broken. I reverted some commits to make cryptfs_hw build, but I'm not sure if that works. Do not try it.
2. SELinux is permissive, and init allows service without a SELinux domain to start.
3. GPS may take longer to obtain a position fix. (yes it's working... sorry for the misunderstanding)
4. Only Launcher2 is included. You may install a new one as you like.
5. No LiveDisplay and gestures except DT2W (DT2W can not be turned off via Settings app for now) Color calibration is possible, see FAQ below.
6. Default input method could be broken. Be ready to "pm install your_ime.apk" in adb shell. Fixed in 20160828
7. com.qti.dpmserviceapp may produce continous FC. You can disable it via adb shell ("su -c pm disable com.qti.dpmserviceapp"). Removed in 20160828
8. Rotating screen while playing video can cause the display to "split" Fixed in 20160903
9. Camera service and media codecs all run in the same process, eliminating one of the security enhancements of Android N. May not be fixed until new HAL and blobs are available.
So the security improvements in Nougat are not making much difference in this only-a-taste ROM. If you rely on this, it would be better to wait for official releases.
FAQs:
1. Root / Gapps?
I'm using SuperSU 2.76 stable and OpenGapps 7.0 pico. They work without any issue.
If your contacts / calendars is not syncing, try the following steps:
1. Goto Settings > Apps, tap "Show system" in menu
2. Find "Google Contacts Sync", tap on it, tap "Permissions", turn on everything
3. Go back to Detail screen, clear its data
4. Go back to app list, clear "Contacts Storage"' data
5. Do the same for calendars (2-4)
6. Reboot

2. F2FS?
I did not test this myself... But kernel has support already (of cource, it's from CM) so you may have a try. Remember to backup!
EDIT: Some users reported that F2FS partitions are corrupted. If you are using F2FS, maybe you should wait.

3. Menu key / App switcher?
Menu key now acts as recents, since I don't think the former is as useful as the latter. And there is no more lag while tapping home button since we don't check for double tap anymore.

Click to collapse
4. TWRP shows error?
If that's two lines of "log", you can safely ignore it.
If there is something else, please stop and post it here.
If you are using MultiROM, you may modify update-script. Read the first ~8 pages and you will find it.
Reference: I'm using official TWRP 3.0.2 w/o MultiROM This recovery didn't get replaced by stock one...

5. File manager (to install APKs)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Disable HW keys, enable soft keys, screen color calibration?
Disable HW keys: echo 0 > /proc/touchpanel/keypad_enable (needs repeat on reboot)
Enable soft keys: echo "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 >> /system/build.prop (once)
Screen color calibration: echo "32768 31784 27852" > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rgb (needs repeat on reboot, change the values as you need. This example is 100% R, 97% G, 85% B)
Optionally you can enable color enhancing: echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/color_enhance

You can still use HALs from 20160906 if you want.
(And if you are posting this somewhere else, please include the HALs in your post)

CAF and original AOSP HALs: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwkmhbR5VHpAaGdCQmxDUWgxQlU
Note on the HALs:
AOSP HALs (msm8996 display + msm8974 media) can not record screen, but they "seem" to make the system smoother. (msm8974 display HAL cannot be used because it corrupts the display when rotating screen with video playing)
CAF HALs (both based on vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.3_rb1.13) can record screen but "seem" not to be so efficient as AOSP ones.
The HAL included in the ROM are the AOSP variant.

Note: please read "known bugs" section before flashing! Also you can read the guide below.
When updating the ROM, just dirty-flash new build and Gapps (if you use them).
In order to prevent your recovery from being replaced by the stock one, flash SuperSU along with the ROM.

Changelog:
20160919
Fixed Fackbook crash by avoiding preloading libboringssl-compat.so (CM camera HAL is the only camera HAL that does not require this)
Updated BT configuration (please test if it has any side effect. Sometimes you need to search twice to find your Bluetooth gadgets.)
Tried to fix network location (added Google's network location provider)
20160918
Reverted to previous "stub" power HAL. May fix lagging and unusual power consumption noticed by some users.
Tried to fix NFC FW download mechanism. May fix non-working NFC for some users.
20160910
Updated to NRD90U (android-7.0.0_r6)
Switched to CM/QCOM power HAL. The original power HAL is more like a placeholder.
Now on Tap can be launched by long-pressing home button
Switchable WebView implementation, thanks to @fards here
Note:
1. If you are experiencing display issues (such as screen flicker with FLV SW decoding), try switching on "Disable HW Overlay" in Development Settings.
2. If you need multi-user feature, remove /system/priv-app/com.qualcomm.location. Otherwise the system will crash. It was accidentally added in this build.
20160906
Switched back to AOSP HALs to increase performance, but screen recording is broken again. You can choose CAF HALs listed above to fix that. Camcorder and HW encoding work with both variants, no need to worry.
Updated media profiles. Front camera knows that it is not capable of 1080p recording.
20160903
Fixed HW encoder and camcorder (they are different issues, though related) (and switched to CM13 media HAL)
Fixed display corruption while rotating screen with video playing (by switching to CM13 display HAL, don't know which lines of code fixed that)
DT2W can be turned off via Settings
Added Reboot option in power menu
20160831
Fixed crash in World Clock page when selecting countries/regions
Fixed hang in Developer Settings when the ROM is installed as secondary
Fixed crash when taking photos with HDR on
Added support for kexec
Added Stk
20160828
Fixed default input method FC
Remove com.qti.dpmservices to prevent FC
Dev: updated build system to finally automate everything
20160827
Initial build
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notes on the sources:
1. Build system produces correct boot.img in $OUT, but the boot image in OTA zip still has no DT included. Fixed in 20160828
2. Some fixes are really "dirty" (as I'm not able to find a proper way)...
3. Some JNIs fail to build (lots of C++ symbols no found). You may try linking C++ libs dynamically (c++_static -> c++_shared) to avoid this. See 20160828 patches, packages/inputmethods/LatinIME for example.
4. Some apps require android-8 ndk, but the earliest version in the tree is android-9. A symlink will do (or you can change the Android.mk in app) but I'm not really sure this will not introduce any bug.
5. Android N split mediaserver into multiple processes to improve security, such as cameraserver, mediacodec, etc. But camera blobs and old HALs were not designed like this. They assume they run in the same process, thus a buffer created by blobs are being used everywhere, which will cause illegal memory access under Android N. I reverted lots of patches about this, forcing camera and codec services to run in the mediaserver process as before - security compromised with functionality, again.
Hope you enjoy this.
I am going to try this out, thanks @updateing for your work:good:
If I could find fixes then I would send an pull request.

Guide to flashing this properly (TWRP v3.0.2-0):
(THIS GUIDE IS MAINLY FOR THE FIRST BUILD 20160827. AS I AM RUNNING IT SMOOTHLY, I DO NOT PLAN TO UPDATE TO 20160828, AS IT HAS SOME MINOR FIXES, ALREADY COVERED IN MY GUIDE.
IF HOWEVER, YOU'RE FLASHING 20160828 OR LATER BUILD, HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO DIFFERENTLY:
-Flashing Google keyboard is not mandatory, as default input mode has been fixed
-adb steps do not need to be performed as the com.qti.dpmserviceapp has been removed
-You probably shouldn't flash the SystemUI Tuner mod zip, as the SystemUI APK from previous build may not be compatible with new build. If you flash it on 28 build and have SystemUI FCs or missing SystemUI, just reflash ROM, and don't flash the mod.
REST OF THE GUIDE REMAINS THE SAME)
(This guide is for flashing as primary ROM without MultiROM. MultiROM guide by @7u5h4r: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68413163&postcount=242)
TL;DR version (that means short version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68552389&postcount=1172
Download ROM zip from OP and Google Keyboard flashable zip, as well as any of the zips I linked below.
Wipe your device (data, cache, dalvik/ART cache; preferably even system, just to be as "clean" as possible)
(NOTE ABOUT DIRTY FLASHING:
-If you dirty flash this ROM (eg. flashing newer build), you will need to flash GApps again along with the ROM zip as GApps are not preserved
-This ROM actually booted for me even on a dirty flash from an MM custom ROM, and as a result I didn't face a lot of the problems you'd face on clean flash (GApps crashes, continuous qti app FCs, etc)
But a lot of my apps were crashing until I reinstalled them, and in any case, it is not advised to dirty flash when coming from MM)
Flash ROM zip and keyboard zip, optionally any of the following addons (DO NOT FLASH GAPPS YET):
-SuperSU (v2.68+) for root
-Any of the mods I linked below
-Any other mods like Viper4Android etc (AT YOUR OWN RISK)
Boot into the ROM. you'll probably see a lot of crashes, ignore them, and just find a PC for the next step
(Optionally, you could try to enable Developer Options by tapping past the FC dialogs, once you have DevOps enabled, you'll see an option to mute FC notifications till next boot)
Using ADB on your PC, disable the com.qti.dpmserviceapp package by running following commands:
Code:
adb devices
You should see a device in the list of devices connected
Code:
adb shell
pm disable com.qti.dpmserviceapp
If you get error with permissions, you may need root. If your device is rooted:
Code:
su
pm disable com.qti.dpmserviceapp
(SKIP 6, 7 & 8 if you do not need Google services)
Now reboot into recovery and flash a compatible GApps package (USE 7.0 GAPPS ONLY)
Boot into ROM
Go to Settings>Apps
Find Google Play Services, and go to its Permissions. Enable essential permissions. Now Play Services won't keep crashing on you. Also find Google Contact Sync and give it permission to access Contacts.
Go to Settings>Accounts and add your Google account
Profit

Here's some helpful zips for you guys!
My flashable zip to ENABLE Navbar/softkeys (same as the one on the MM thread) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2Y1syM7UNuDYVRhM3BTYVA3SXc
Flashable zip to DISABLE HW keys
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2Y1syM7UNuDSFZwUHNLQ0RfdXM
Flashable zip to ENABLE HW keys (revert changes made by zip above)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2Y1syM7UNuDalVLVzd0SFdLekk
Flashable stock bootanimation (same as the one in MM thread; since this ROM doesn't really have a bootanimation and uses the basic fallback bootanimation)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2Y1syM7UNuDelFPZVh6dmxSR2c
Flashable zip to ENABLE Hidden SystemUI Tuner Features (thanks to @AL_IRAQI, see his original guide here)
This one was tricky, my first time decompiling an APK. I was getting some crashes at first, but I think this ZIP should work fine (I tested it on a dirty flash, and it works)

Replace the stock Power Menu with an extended custom power menu (thanks to @nofx161):
See his post
Link to app
Layers themes are supported, use Substratum app (Play Store link) to apply
(ROOT NEEDED)
NOTE: Themes made only for Substratum will not work (properly) as this ROM doesn't support Substratum (that will need patches to ROM source). Only which support RRO/Layers will work without any issues.
Wow! Great work

thanks for your work dude
Cool, thanks, gonna try asap

Which sepolicy did you use? I am porting to a different device and Im currently trying to fix neverallows which is painful but I think I merged a commit to qcom/sepolicy which allows domain to start (im not very good in sepolicy). Its based off Cyanogenmod qcom/sepolicy repo. If you want to take a look its here android_device_qcom_sepolicy-1 and I had to add one thing to platform_system_sepolicy. I hope we'll be able to fix sepolicy soon.
Awesome.... Downloading already.
Awesome! Has anyone tried If gapps work?
Flashed it. But i get a FC all the time
com.qti.dpmserviceapp has stopped.
I cant do anything..?
