CM12 ROM for Nexus 6! [Lollipop 5.0.2]

Check Out The Video Below!


The official CyanogenMod 12 (CM12) is out for the Nexus 6! CyanogenMod ROMS are the most widely used and available custom ROM for Android and for a good reason. CyanogenMod is supported for thousands of devices and help older legacy devices still be able to update to the latest version Android even when they don't officially get an update from the manufacture. 

CM12 ROM for the Nexus 6 is the very first official build that was released today! The first build includes profiles like work, home, night, etc. These profiles can be each individually changed to your preference. CM12 also includes status bar brightness control, volume to wake up device, weather in the status bar, and options to change the way the navigation keys react to input, however I haven't been able to get that feature to work! 

This ROM also includes AudioFX for advanced sound setting options and also Music app. The basics like WiFi, data, Bluetooth, calling, camera, etc all work great! With all the essential parts of CM12 working great you can use this ROM as a daily driver! 

Download CM12 ROM for Nexus 6 using the download links below!

Stock Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM for Nexus 5! [Rooted]

Check Out The Video Below!

I always get asked if you need to unroot your phone to update to the latest Android version, the simple answer is no. You don't need to unroot your phone just to update to the latest version. The easier and my reccomended way is to just flash the latest stock ROM for the Nexus 5, in this case, 5.0.1 Lollipop. 

This stock ROM is exactly the same as the official OTA update from Google with everything working just great! Not only that, but you also get to keep your custom Recovery and root (just flash SuperSU after the ROM). WiFi, data, bluetooth, camera, etc all work great! 

This is the best way to update to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop for the Nexus 5 while still staying rooted!

Download stock Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM for the Nexus 5 using the download links below!

Download Stock Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM for Nexus 5
Download SuperSU


Remember to flash SuperSU in Recovery Mode after the ROM or you will not be able to use root apps!

How to Install Flash Player on Android Lollipop!

Check Out The Video Below

While more and more sites are starting to use HTML5 instead of Flash Player to display media content there are still a lot of websites that require you to have Flash Player installed on your Android device to access parts of the site. Luckily for us Android Lollipop users we can easily without root install Flash Player on our Android device!

This method on installing Flash Player on Android Lollipop works pretty darn well since I have tried it over the past few days on my Lollipop Nexus 6 and haven't ran into any issues! This method should also work on older Android versions like KitKat and Jellybean, but will definitely work on Lollipop devices! 

Some of you may have heard that Dolphin Browser now natively supports Flash Player, but the method that Dolphin Browser uses to get Flash Player onto your Android device is an older more outdated version of Flash Player. This method will give you better performance and stability since it's based off a more optimized version of Flash Player. Also you cannot use any browser with this Flash Player method, you must use Dolphin Browser since not all browsers support plugins! 

Follow the step-by-step guide below to install Flash Player on Android Lollipop. 

1. Go into Settings > Security > enable "Unknown sources".


2. Download KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk to your phone using the download link below. 

I am aware that the file is meant for KitKat, don't worry about this since it works just fine on Lollipop too! 

Download KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk




3. In your status bar you should see "KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk Download complete". Tap on it and select "Install" > "Done".



4. Now download Dolphin Browser from the Play Store using the download link below. 

Download Dolphin Browser


5. Open up Dolphin Browser and swipe through the setup screen.


6. Tap on the dolphin at the bottom of the screen and navigate to Settings > Web content > Flash player > and select "Always on".



7. You're are done! You have installed Flash Player on Android and setup Dolphin browser to be Flash Player ready!



You can check to see if Flash Player is working properly on your Lollipop device by going to these websites (links below) on your Lollipop device. Remember that you MUST use Dolphin Browser if you're planning on using Flash Player.


Adobe Flash Player - You will see a "F" box jumping around.
UltraSounds - You will see a blue bar going up and down through the text "UltraSounds".

Rastapop ROM for Nexus 6!

Check Out The Video Below!

Rastapop ROM is a popular ROM and is mainly known to support Nexus devices. The developer makes rock solid ROMS that are very stable. The Rastapop ROM for the Nexus 6 is very stable since it's based off of AOSP and not necessarily based off of something unofficial. 

This ROM doesn't include every single feature possible, but includes more minimal features that are helpful on daily basis. Some Rastapop features include controlling the brightness by sliding the status bar with your finger, advanced boot menu, battery percent in the status bar, and a few others! 

A simple, but favorite feature of mine that the developer added was the clear recent apps options. This feature is a one tap feature that clears any recent apps all in one go! It a big time saver when you don't need to individually clear out one app at a time. 

Overall, Rastapop ROM is a solid ROM that is a very solid for anyone who is looking into getting started in using custom ROMS. This ROM doesn't overwhelm the beginner user with too many features, but the features that are included are very useful for anyone!

Download Rastapop ROM for Nexus 6 using the download links below!
Download Rastapop ROM for Nexus 6
Download Gapps
Download SuperSU
How to install Rastapop ROM:
1. Enter into Recovery Mode
2. Wipe device

4. Flash Gapps
5. Flash SuperSU (Flash if you want root access)
6. Reboot Nexus 6
