what does this mean i wanna learn about this stuff but keep getting these errors
Likely a server timeout or other glitch. "repo sync" until you don't have any more errors. The first time sync is painful.

Delete the damaged file and restart the sync. Hopefully it will finish. Expect a full sync to take 5-20 tries, and if you ever abort due to being bored or just having a lousy network connection... your fun may increase exponentially.
Question of my own... on both Windows with Cygwin as well as on Ubuntu with all the 'standard' requested packages, I get this error when trying to run Acidify 0.4.0:
# ./acidify
./acidify: line 8: color: command not found

Am I just missing some incredibly obvious package? I've compiled kernels manually, but Acidify sounds like it should make things a ton easier. Thanks.
Color should be a built in function of the script. I hope max sees this post since I can't look into it right now
Ahh... the function color is included, lines 196-222... but it's first used on line 8, as well as 61. THEN it gets defined.
Unless it gets put into bashrc like in this AskUbuntu example, I think it needs to be defined before it gets used.

Maybe post a bug report on github? m4xm4n has been busy with school. This will insure he sees it.
Moved the color() function from 196-222 to line 5. Acidify now runs... well, it gives me a new error. With yellow text!
# ./acidify
Warning: Could not load configuration file. Using environmental or program defaults.
./acidify: line 170: conditional binary operator expected

which happens to be the same error I got when manually stripping out the color calls before. That line is:
Code:
[[ -v DISTRIB_ID ]] || DISTRIB_ID="Your system"
I'll try to make a bug report with a note that moving color function fixes my initial glitch.
I'd checkout (as in "git checkout") the previous version if you are continuing to have problems.
Sounds good. Though turning that line into
Code:
DISTRIB_ID="Your system"
made it run on my Cygwin box. Looks like that line is supposed to tell you which specific *nix version isn't supported if it fails, and for some reason on both my Cygwin system and Ubuntu systems, the fail-check fails. However, that appears to have been in the prior versions of Acidify as well, so they appear less likely to be a logical fail-point. Will try it with the checkout though on the Ubuntu.
Edit: And... Cygwin is 32-bit only. Awesome. So it's not going to be running Acidify for me. Ubuntu box is currently processing something else, so I'll check it whenever it decides to move along.
But git checkout left me with the same color error, if that's what was supposed to fix it.
Edit2: Ubuntu box didn't fail on the same spot, so it looks like I'm good... Well, unless it doesn't actually run, but it gets me to the info screen at least. I'll update if it has problems, but it looks like the only other 'issue' I found was Cygwin-only which doesn't really matter for us since it can't run Acidify anyways (being 32-bit). Should I still note it as an issue on Github, or do we not care since it's only an error where it can't possibly work anyways?
Edit3: Okay... One sudo mkdir /.acidify and a sudo mkdir /.repo later and it's actually pulling files down...

Poking around in repo to resolve a problem that I have with AOKP right now, I found, from repo help sync
Code:
The --no-clone-bundle option disables any attempt to use
$URL/clone.bundle to bootstrap a new Git repository from a resumeable
bundle file on a content delivery network. This may be necessary if
there are problems with the local Python HTTP client or proxy
configuration, but the Git binary works.
A little note... apparently the error I mentioned comes up anytime you're using a distrib that doesn't show up in the search. Since in addition to Cygwin, that error also comes up when trying to use Acidify with Ubuntu 10.10. Guessing that means that the || bit isn't functioning properly... maybe it needs to be inside the [[]] or something? Guess I should report that as another issue on the tracker.
I have a galaxy s 4g (T959V) that is rooted and unlocked running CM9. I was given this site about a year ago when it was suggested I restore the factory software and reload CM9 from scratch. I am currently using Straight Talk also. All has been going well until recently. Multiple issues
1. If I receive text multiple text messages from one person.. they may not be received in the order they were sent .. sometimes messages sent to me are never received.
2. The phone randomly turns itself on and off.. it can be 1 or 2 times a day or not at all for several days.
3. The battery may indicate it needs to be plugged it and after i leave it off for a few minutes and turn it on, the phone indicates it does not need to be charged (sometime 50 plus % charge)
I am currently using my old T959 (not rooted or unlocked.. with the factory software) until i can do something with the T959V. I was never able to get the tethering, hotspot or wifi calling to work with the T959V but i do recall seeing something here or on the CM site saying that didnt work. The last two day I have been having issues with the T959 no receiving some texts also.
Any thoughts? Should I another version of CM or another OS? It would be nice to have the option of using tethering, hotspot and wifi calling.
Thanks in advance for all your help
Is the battery swollen? Place it on something flat and see if it sounds easy. Sounds like part of the problem could be that. I would suggest the cm11 that fb has out. He (and a lot of others) got it running smoothly on the old phone.

I was wondering that might be part of the problem. The newest battery appears slightly swollen but I am not using it currently. The older battery in use on T959 probably needs replaced and will be done so. Can I install cm 11 on the T959 also or should I leave that one stock? Just curious..I like having a backup in case of problems.
Thanks again
Looks like you have 4 separate issues:
1. Not receiving some texts and multiple texts being received out of order: Have no answer for this but it probably happens to everyone from time to time. Could possibly be the room in your home you happen to be in at the time.
2. Possible battery issues: See Champ1919's comments.
3. Tethering and hotspot: Both work fine with CM11 (which works wonderfully on this phone). If you choose to install this ROM please pay close attention to the flashing instructions and which Gapps file you should download and install.
4. Wi-fi calling: If you need this feature, you'll have to flash Gingerbread or any ROM based on Android 2.3.6 (such as Valhalla Black). Wi-fi calling does not work on the more advanced ROMs.

I have my T959V restored to factory setting now. I am giving up for the evening as I have been unable to get CWM from the Gapp store to get to my phone. As mentioned earlier I have both a T959 and T959V.. the playstore only acknowledged my 959 there as a my device and not the V,
I have the CM11 and the Gapp minimal on and SD card. I did copy my SD card to my pc. When I enter the samsung recovery and try to install the CM11 file, it says I do not have enough space on the SD card (16 gb card with 7.76gb free)
I will try again Monday evening and will purchase a new battery also.

ugh.. technology has not been my friend lately. (i have a windows machine that say is has no os on it and i need to reload this laptop from scratch also.. so that might be some of the issues) when i bought the T959V a little over a year ago it was rooted and unlocked. last october i was had to reload cm9. sunday night when i thought i had reload the factory software back, did that unroot the phone?
tonight i was unable to get super manager to the T959V, i did notice the apn changes at will from straight talk to tmobile. i did see the "efs" file on the sd card and copied that to my pc. superoneclick was downloaded from download.com because the link kept timing out from the xda site.
i waited 45 minutes after i clicked on root but gave up .. checking if rooted showed false. checking for shell root showed false. i did copy the report that was generated and saw several no such file or directories on that.
any thoughts?
thanks

You gotta slow down a bit first. What ROM do you currently have on your phone?
What's your issue now?
Do you have a Heimdall One Click you can use to go back to stock rooted GB?

Yes I have Heimdall One Click and used that last Sunday to go from CM 9 back to stock (unless I missed something doing that). The T959V shows GB 2.3.6. I am now attempting to go from that to CM 11. The Gapp store only acknowledged my Vibrant not the T959V which was why the Super Manager did not load on that phone.

You need to now flash a rooted kernel with a CWM recovery. @bhundven made it easy for you by making this one click:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/bhundven/Stock_KJ6_and_root-One-Click.jar/download
Just download Bryan's one click and flash your phone with it.
Reboot to recovery, then flash my latest CM11 build.
And give up on the cwm app for this phone. It's not supported. If you flash the vibrant one, you'll brick.
FB I did as you said and now have CM 11 on the phone. I just got frustrated with technology issues. I have MobileGO on a pc and used that to copy stuff from one phone to another (but have a nandroid backup also as that was on the vibrant). My calling log does show up but nothing shows up as contacts as well as no transferred text messages. Also the names of my playlist show up also but nothing is in them.

Do you mean that none of that data got transferred or none of that (contacts, call list, etc) is not showing up after you installed CM11? You can probably transfer some of that stuff using some play store apps, you can make backups to your sd card and copy the data to your SGS4G.

I should had stated that better. The copied info (contacts, calls logs, texts, pictures music was done to a computer then transferred to the SGS4G) appeared to transfer after I installed CM 11. Currently the contacts list is empty (main thing), the playlist shows empty but the music appears in Apollo and the pictures show in gallery.
I havent CM 11 greatly yet.. but I do like the changes that were very obvious over CM 9

Hmm, you can try exporting the contacts via the contacts app on your other phone. It'll create a vcard file that is universal. It'll work to import your contacts in CM11, I have tested this myself.
As far as the playlists, it will depend on the music player. Which player were you using before?

I did get a vcard file file and contacts all transferred to sd card and imported the the SGS4G.
The playlist is my error. I forgot when I went from SGS4G and back to the stock Vibrant that I had to recreate the playlist there also. I will try Apollo again once I can access it without the following message.. Unfortunately, Apollo has stopped. I did notice on albums over 10 tracks long the are (example on 15 track album) 15,14,13,12,11,10,1... to 9. If I am listening to an audio book and need the tracks in order, will changing the # to an alpha (a.b.c.d.e.) keep that order?

Hmm i'm not sure about Apollo specifically but most music players will let you do sorting like you're saying, so if the files for the audiobooks you're listening to are in numeric order, then using alphabetic sorting should work for you.
Ex:
Track 01
Track 02
Track 03
should all play in order with alphabetic sorting

I will give that a try once Apollo works again. Not sure why it hasnt worked since Monday. Also the installed camera and browser are getting the same message about "unfortunately has stopped". All of these did work over the weekend. Ideas?

I messed around with Apollo and found other options and have it working and have made several playlist.
Thanks for all your help
This thread, and Marshmallow/Nougat porting in general, are a continuation of the previous KitKat and Lollipop development; the general installation steps are more or less the same. If you need a very detailed guide, PeteInSequim's is a good resource, especially if moving from stock. Read/search through the previous threads for any missing information (CM12.1 OP). That being said, I'm uploading personal builds of AOSP 6.0/7.1, CM 13.0/14.1, TWRP, etc, here.
Some of the important device-specific changes from KitKat/CM11 are described in Hashcode's thread. The goal is to remain fairly close to CM or AOSP upstream, and integrate whatever fixes and enhancements in unified device trees. More progress information will be added here gradually, as I have time. A lot of useful discussion happened on the previous CM11, CM12.[01] threads, and the status of things is available to anyone willing to search. I am not a developer, mostly a hobbyist, and the usual disclaimers apply.
AOSP vs CM
Initially, AOSP builds happened out of curiosity, but also necessity, since CM13 needs some time to stabilize. As expected, an AOSP ROM is a lot more barebones than CM, and there are pros and cons for each flavor. Now that initial porting is done following the previous philosophy of reusing and common-izing the device trees, it seems feasible to maintain both AOSP and CM ROMs (whenever 13 is usable), although nothing is promised.
In truth, the current builds are more accurately described as AOSP-ish; at the very least, a few core components need to be modified for our HALs, proprietary blobs, etc. On top of that, I've been adding features and fixes that seemed essential to me. Still, major differences remain compared to CM, and before people deem them as bugs, here are a few:
Wake with Home button: not an AOSP feature; I took the CM code to make it work in these builds.
The Advanced reboot menu: also a custom feature; may be ported at some point.
Mounting exFAT or NTFS media: not AOSP-supported filesystems, but a priority for me.
BusyBox was a CM extra, but I'm including it starting with the November 8th builds.
Etc, etc.
Because we have a reasonably flexible build system, other ROM flavors could happen in the future. A custom ROM like CM is actually easier to maintain than AOSP given all the fixes and enhancements that need separate maintenance with the latter.
The major difference with the first November builds is having SELinux enabled (albeit Permissive). It had to be kept completely disabled during the initial porting, due to a kernel bug/missing feature that took more than a week to track down. Thus, logs contain lots of AVC denials now, as sepolicy has not been fully updated for MM; no need to report or worry about these yet.
On a personal note, posting on my threads is pretty tricky business... My builds were never intended for general consumption, but rather a way to move porting and development forward, and I often debate only keeping the GitHub repositories for people to build themselves. Obviously, that would upset hundreds of people at this point, so I make an effort to upload reasonably bug-free builds, as well as help even with trivial non-problems whenever I can. Nevertheless, low quality, or badly written posts (and I don't mean bad English) are a sure way to get ignored, and my memory is pretty long term Basically, I won't police content here, but I also don't want to deal with the the kind of stupidity and entitlement so prevalent in real life.
In conclusion, no need to thank (unless you really want to), or ask about donating, etc, but do reassess the limits of your current understanding before making bold claims, as I do too. Nothing worse than having to fix a trail of misinformation... Also, comparisons to other people's work (unless constructive), complains about the state of things, or simply starting with "no offense" and such, will make your problem much less likely to be solved by me.

GApps & Partitioning Info
With unusual issues, especially if connected to Play Services, I recommend testing the ROMs without GApps before reporting bugs.
Currently, pico Open GApps should work on all AOSP, CM, or Lineage builds (M & N), although initial flashing should to be done before first boot (wiped data). With CM/Lineage 14, system space is barely enough, yet I still think we're fine with the current partitioning scheme. Changing it can introduce other complications, and haven't found an absolute reason for doing so. Nevertheless, it is possible to alter the partition sizes after installation, and thus increase available system space; @Lanchon prepared a pretty nice guide specifically for the Nook HDs.
About including GApps directly into the ROMs, I had tested this approach using the Open GApps manifests. While things can work better that way, legally, it wouldn't be a good idea to distribute these builds (for the same reasons CM had to stop including them). Also, I think there are a few people who wan't nothing to do with Google's proprietary services, so a likely deal breaker for them. We'll have to wait for the established packagers to decide how to deal with the MM changes, although my manifests are available, and one can include anything in personal builds.
Manifests & GitHub Branches
For people making their own builds, the customized manifests including my forked branches, and other changes, are kept more or less up to date at github.com/airend/android. There are currently three main branch pairs: cm-12/lolli, cm-13/marsh, and cm-14/nougat, the latter two being most updated. As the name implies, these manifests are based (and actually constantly rebased) on the corresponding upstream branch, either AOSP or CM/Lineage. Theoretically, once these manifests are stable, there is no need for local additions, but corrections might be needed nonetheless.
No need to repo init more than once, unless you're switching manifest branches (e.g., LP to MM, CM to AOSP, etc); repo sync will pull all manifest changes.
About naming conventions for my branches, I try to reuse as much as possible between CM/Lineage and AOSP, and when that's possible, branches are named lp-12, mm-13, etc. Otherwise, branches are named lolli, marsh, nougat, or cm-1*, depending on their base and specificity.
Upstream Lineage branch names haven't changed from old CM, and no current branch will be renamed here either (despite rebase).
The kernel repo contains additional feature branches named base/[subsystem], on top of Hashcode's last CM12.0 kernel. The main stable kernel is roughly equivalent to merging all these feature branches, although the history is different.
Recovery Information
We do have official TWRP images (https://twrp.me/Devices). While they don't work with CM12.1 anymore (for reasons described in that thread), they should be usable with all current Marshmallow builds.
More up to date eMMC TWRP images are included in the respective device folders. Personally, I've had a good experience with TWRP, and do not plan on looking at other recovery distributions. Now, there have been (very) sporadic reports of broken partition tables, soft-bricked devices, etc, blamed on recovery. Although recovery is usually not the actual culprit, here are some ways you can rescue a completely unresponsive device:
The instructions below are generic, and were meant for CWM. TWRP has all these image flashing features in the GUI, so CLI/shell is not strictly needed.
It's a good idea to keep a microSD card around, with my external recovery image, or verygreen's.
Once booted off the external recovery, you can easily fix whatever is broken (ADB is your friend here). There's no need to re-install CM11, as re-flashing recovery and/or boot will most likely fix your issue.
Recovery partition: dd if=<path to recovery image> of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery
Boot partition: dd if=<path to boot/kernel image> of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
Afterwards, you should at the very least have a working internal recovery. I don't recall any instance where /system and/or /data became corrupted because of recovery, but you can certainly fix them now.
I've never tested this part, but I believe that you may be able to install an eMMC CM12 ZIP with verygreen's external CWM, even if /data and /cache are F2FS (assuming you copied all ZIPs onto the external card). My understanding is that only /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system (always ext4, mountable by any recovery) is touched during installation, so you may even bypass TWRP completely.
P.S. If you broke you bootloader by flashing the wrong recovery flavor, despite all images being clearly labeled as hummingbird or ovation, well, no sympathy for you… Still, you can bring your device back to life within minutes as described above.
Selected FAQs
Should I use AOSP or CM/Lineage?
Depends entirely upon personal preference, which requires testing, and some amount of research into what makes a ROM different. There are substantial core differences between the two flavors, which are not obvious immediately. If installing for the first time, flip a coin (and avoid builds in experimental, of course).
How do I get root back?
Until recently, some type of SU binary was included with all ROMs (WITH_SU=true on CM/Lineage, or using this repo on AOSP). This was needed because third-party system-less solutions don't work with our quirky bootimages, and system-mode installers have other issues on N. As builds mature, I'm separating the SU backend from main OTAs, roughly like CM/Lineage did. On my Nougat builds, there are currently two system-mode options:
On AOSP, I adapted phh's OSS backend for system-mode install (addonsu-phh-arm.zip). You need the matching manager to control access. Later on, I ported CM/Lineage's AppOps-based SU to AOSP, so that addon works here as well (see next item). These binaries need to be flashed after every ROM update, same as GApps.
On CM/Lineage, you can install their official add-on (addonsu-arm-signed.zip); it will use the baked-in manager, so no extra APK required. Or, you can install phh's SU and manager, like on AOSP. Neither needs to be flashed more than once here given the existing addon.d support.
Why no official CM/Lineage builds since 12.0?
The answer involves both technical complications, and some amount of politics. Getting changes accepted for non-mainstream/deprecated platforms like ours has been an uphill battle. Over time, many OMAP4 improvements have been developed outside CM, formerly by OMAP4-AOSP, now the Unlegacy-Android project. Those common hardware improvements have made it into 13.0/14.1 only recently, due to other people's perseverance. Although we're much closer to upstream Lineage compatibility, the hundreds of device tree, and more than a thousand kernel changes would still need to go through review. Given how long that takes for each item, and occasional opposition from non-OMAP4 reviewers, I decided to allocate my resources towards bettering these devices rather than official status. The downside is that people may feel dependent on my builds, which shouldn't be the case; I constantly rebase and maintain complete manifests, optimized for these devices. All the relevant changes are open and available in public GitHub repositories, which means anyone can submit them/try to work with upstream Lineage. However, for the above reasons, it's unlikely that I will make that effort.
What's the current status of full screen casting, Miracast, HDMI, etc?
Full screen casting to a Chromecast sink (either real, or emulated) works on all current Nougat builds. CM13 builds may have issues there, but AOSP M was fixes. Chrome casting from apps (the preferred way, if available) was never broken. Miracast in AOSP is pretty much legacy tech now. It also requires more hardware support compared to Chromecast-ing, and it probably doesn't work on any recent builds. Fixing HDMI is still a goal; it got broken on our devices after some Marshmallow revision. Until HDMI can be fixed, I disabled it completely to recover its unused VRAM allocation.
Will this (continue to) be based off AOSP, or CM?

@amaces, I am currently running with the 11/01 hummingbird build from experimental, which I installed yesterday. It doesn't work as well for me as the 10/29. It is laggier, and for some reason right now, I can't log into from the kindle app. I also note that on rebooting, it will go through the boot cycle more than once, optimizing various apps each time. Of course, since it just numbers the apps, you can't actually tell what it is doing. . I think there are olicy/permission issues since trickster mod can't install busybox into the system partition and, as stated before, system won't boot into to revery, soft boot, or shutdown, without use of power,home keys. Do you wan't logs?
thanks again.

On Ovation it is the same: 10/29 is far better than 11/01.
Graphics problems on 11/01: the screen shows some green lines sometimes and it feels laggier.

I would prefer AOSP: less customization means less resources needed.
...and for Ovation every MB of ram free can be fundamental.
Or maybe both versions
For some happy news, multi-window mode (enable in developer options) seems to work pretty well (on my HD) It's probably even more useful on the HD+ where you have more real estate.
Thank you @amaces for M!
Questions:
Are your repos in a state that I can start trying to build it?
Is this your (local) manifest https://github.com/airend/android/blob/marsh/default.xml
I saw the above manifest and tried to build a couple of days ago and got many errors just updating my local repo. I'm reckoning that the manifest has such a mishmash of projects that I should probably delete my entire repo and download it all again. Is this likely the case?
Again, thanks. I'm so excited!
Things are still busy till probably tomorrow afternoon, but I will add proper replies here, and on the CM12 thread soon. As of now, there must be a few dozen posts I need to go through, plus lots of other updates.

OP has only two paragraphs. Try reading it again.
I have 2 HD+ and wanted to dedicate one to Marshmallow. I spent time with this build and it just became too frustrating.
I did find a gapps benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip that did get rid of the nag messages with settings in settings-apps. I'll get links if others are interested. AdaWay 2.2 did give some strange messages about BusyBox scripts but it turns out there is a Mars working version of AdaWay, AdAway-release_Build-Oct.09.2015.apk that I haven't tried yet.
Very frustrating not really being able to use the ExtSdcard. Installation of apps is not that simple without using a third party browser.
First efforst here are great. If you look at first efforts on phones, disaster and pre=alpha is what is going on.
And for those of you who, like I, have been looking to find where the external sd carded is mounted if you want to keep it as an external sd card, on 11/1 build ,it is at /mnt/media_rw/FFF9-7EC0 on my HD-I think that that actual hex address part may vary. I was able to manipulate the files on it with the root explorer app. I think other apps will work as well--they just don't know where to find the external sd card... .
Root Explorer lets you set that path.
Also, I was able to enable and use the Sytem UI Tuner setting...

Couldn't you use a script to mount(or link?) the folder to its "proper" location at start up?
I thought that's what the system did anyway.

I think the issue is that it's "proper" location for Marshmallow (the system locates the card with no problem) is different from where older apps are looking for it. I'm sure one could add a link or links I was just happy to locate it

That's a problem with whatever GApps package you flashed; there are many crappy ones floating around. Either way, a clean AOSP installation has none of those issues.

There are significant changes to storage management in Marshmallow, and I suspect those basic AOSP apps were once-again left behind, and are not using the newer APIs.

It's probably a missing location provider issue, like we had in the early days of CM12.0 (and which CM fixed). I'll need to track that down.

I've noticed a bit of what seems to be a memory management problem... once you have been using several apps for a while, (for me, NYTimes, kindle, Chrome_dev, settings, gmail, e.g. ) apps become rather laggy and you get the application not responding message. I am going to attempt to keep using this as my daily driver, however. Is there a way to do a soft reboot in this rom--previously you could do it from the power menu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Although I haven't noticed that, all is possible; I haven't used my device for more than a few hours before having to work on fixing stuff, followed be reboot. The reboot options you're familiar with were a CM feature as described in the OP, but I plan to adapt their code. Beyond that, soft/reboot/recovery/power off don't seem to work at all, root or no root. It's possible CM was setting those in a legacy fashion for our devices (and even then, they were falling apart as you know).
toplist said:
Reboot to recovery isn't working for me. Currently, I'm running the latest experimental marshmallow build. I've been running op's cm12.1 build even before this thread was created. I didn't have recovery or power off problem like some users until the last cm12.1 10/18 build. When I saw the marshmallow build and decided to try it, that's when I found out that reboot to recovery and complete power off are not working properly. The way I access recovery now is manually pressing power button to shut it off and do power+home to boot to recovery. I tried flashing twrp 2.8.7.4 from amaces's folder and also twrp 2.8.7.0 using flashify. It doesn't fix the problem. I can't access fastboot from computer. When I use adb reboot bootloader command, it loads to cyanoboot and few seconds later shows android boot window. How can I get reboot recovery and power off working again?
Click to expand...

The devices never had reboot to bootloader or fastboot support, and TWRP doesn't have much to do with reboot/power off within the ROM. Otherwise, read above; currently, if you need to power off, hold the power button for a few seconds to force shutdown.

Didn't notice new lags on non-GApps install, but again, I must've tested a dozen builds since last week. The only major difference with 11/01 was turning SELinux on (albeit Permissive, see OP), after a week-long bug hunt. In the meantime, the repos jumped to r26 (MDB08M, same as latest Nexus 6P builds), which represents about two months of development upstream, so hopefully the next builds will be better. AOSP doesn't include busybox as you discovered, but you can easily install the package once you have root (Trickster MOD's dev publishes a good installer, so no need to flash stuff in recovery, although that works too).
Logs won't help much at this point since I can see all these issues on my device as well; I'm tackling them sequentially, but all these take a lot of time, so it'll be a while until decent ROMs happen.

The AVC denial messages finally show up after I fixed SELinux, and Permissive shouldn't negatively impact performance, but yeah, sepolicy needs to be updated for MM soonish. The missing frame issue is troubling, and I'll definitely investigate if it persists into what I deem as stable builds.

I've be trying to keep everything on GiHub up-to-date and reasonably stable. As you noticed, I've been crafting a de-bloated manifest that will make it even easier to replicate my builds (details in post #2).
Now, you can repo init on top of the CM12 sources, but you'll need to --force-sync since many repos are overwritten. That would only matter if you made local commits, especially if you didn't upload them, because you'd likely lose them. Better yet, I suggest keeping the CM folder separate, then initialize another one for AOSP with the --reference option. By referencing the CM folder, repo will attempt to reuse common repositories, which is the majority of Git objects. The checkout will still consume space, but the hidden .repo folder will be much smaller. Of course, referencing is not needed if you have enough space. Conversely, if you delete everything (that is including .repo) and initialize anew, you avoid all these issues, but going back will be a hassle.
Otherwise, I'm using a 4.9 EABI for kernel, but Google may insist on 4.8. If that creates issues (it'll be obvious, missing compiler type errors), you can either remove those prebuilts in your local manifest additions plus bring in a 4.9 kernel toolchain, or simply create a symbolic link (ln -s arm-eabi-4.8 arm-eabi-4.9) in platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm.

You gotta read the OP, especially the end of it... But yeah, I'm sure you did your research regarding GApps; the end of October packages were much better, albeit still very flawed (see post #3). AdAway works perfectly once you're rooted, even with versions older than 10/09 in the semiofficial thread, which should've been your first go to. There's no issue with SD card mounting, but you should be aware that fancy filesystems (e.g., exFAT, NTFS) are not supported by AOSP. Also, apps need to use the MM storage APIs. In conclusion, do your testing on a clean slate, before flashing any GApps; all are buggy currently, and that situation has nothing to do with these ROMs.

That won't work well since that path is not constant or universal. I'm sure we'll learn more about these new storage APIs, but I'm only providing the hooks based on the official documentation at: https://source.android.com/devices/storage/config.html#android_6_0.

Hmm, the A/V stuff may be due to the inclusion of media_codecs_ffmpeg.xml, which is present only in CM. Since you're rooted, you could test this by deleting the <Include href="media_codecs_ffmpeg.xml" /> line at the end of /system/etc/media_codecs.xml.
The Amazon Kindle issue is intriguing; do you remember if you had it on the last CM12.1 builds? There could be several reasons, including a heap change that I made about a month ago. Either way, can you describe in more details what happens, and possibly capture a log?

Deleting the line from /system/etc/media_codecs.xml fixed the sound and video problems.
Amazon definitely was fine on lollipop builds--it may have even worked on 10/29 Marshmallow, but I was so excited about that build I can't remember now It's one of my 3 or 4 most used apps.
What happens is that the application will start and if you are not logged into it already, will allow you to click on "start reading" and will bring up a log in page. Sometimes I have had the page come up, sometimes the application seems to freeze and then quit, sometimes I will get the "xxxx application is not responding..." message, sometimes it appears to restart on its own. I managed to log in once on the 11/01 rom, and then the application would die/freeze/etc when synching content so it never was usable. I could make no sense of the messages in the logs because I'm not experienced enough with this.
thanks for your help.
p.s. I cannot get the "file manager" app root access...
