Did you even attempt to search? Had you have googled it you'd have found it.
Anyways, here- https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead
I think he means a flashable zip. Anyway here is the thread you're looking for (might want to try searching the forum next time).

Lol I've done some search. Seems like I have to change my rom to the Minus build?
Sorry, I'm a noob. I just got my N5 and switched over from iOS like 2 days ago lol. Still getting the hang of everything and learning.
Can you direct me in the path of enlightenment?
thanks lol
I don't know where it is but the guy I gave the link to in the other thread found it

1. Wrong section
2. The dev stopped working on it
sorry for mistake . I thought it' s the right section as Touch control is an application.

You are right, it's a app but , Quest answer section would be a better place but lethargy gave you the answer, touch control app is no longer under developing, you can use a kernel with S2w support.

You could try Bricked kernel (AOSP & stock roms, I believe) or Chaos (CM11), both work well in my opinion.

Please post question in the correct forum, the Q&A forum. Next time you post in the development section, ask yourself. Did I create this, or did me and someone create something? If the answer is no, please do not post in development.
Bring a new member you can have a little slack, however please read then forum rules and educate yourself on which forum to post in.
Thanks.
