CM12.1 or Stock Marshmallow for Nexus 6? - General Questions and Answers

I'm currently thinking about switching to Marshmallow on my Motorola Nexus 6, but I'm not quite sure what CM12.1 can that Stock Marshmallow isn't capable of. So which features are in CM12.1 that have not yet been implemented in Marshmallow?
I can think of these:
- CM Theme Engine
- Native USB-OTG support (for mounting drives)
(no Xposed on Marshmallow yet)

CM Theme Engine is dying, say goodbye to it. Layers is the new kid on the block and stock marshmallow supports it out of the box. Same goes for otg, stock Android has supported it for a while.

[Q] Is 4.4.4 better than 4.4.2?

I use a custom rom (Paranoid Android) which is on Android 4.4.4, but I don't really like it (mainly because there's not a dedicated settings for the PA features), so I want to change, but I don't really need a custom rom, since I use Xposed Framework, so stock Android is perfect for me, but I see that there's still only 4.4.2 available to download.
I've seen the changelog, but I don't really understand how importat are the improvements.
So should I keep using 4.4.4 (but a different ROM), or is 4.4.2 just as good?

question: lollipop quick circle apps

I was curious, do those in other countries who have received the lollipop update from their carrier have access to quick Circle case functions on their android lollipop device? Also, I have used a few lollipop roms on my LG g3 such as validus, liquid smooth, cm 12 and have noticed that the validus rom is much slower to boot then the others. I'm not complaining at all, I'm just curious why some ROMs boot faster than others?

I'd love to hear an answer to this question. Here in Argentina the official Lollipop for the G3 isn't available, and I already jumped to CM12

Android TV Remote Control on Marshmallow

Hi,
Since MM I have flashed CM13 and Temasek and I can't connect my phone to my modem router through Android TV Remote Control app.
I don't know if this bug is due to CM roms or if the app has to be updated.
Does it work on your end?
EDIT: doesn't work on Pure Nexus rom either so MM bug.

I would love to see a port of the Note 7 on Andriod 5x or 7x..?

I noticed to all the ports of other phones that use TW are on Kitkat why not on a higher Android version like 5x or 7x..?
Iam using Note 7 port from E Team at the moment and that only on 4.4.4 why not 5x or 7x Android..?
CynogenMod is on 7x so why not other roms.
What you think..??

Bcuz it's not possible to use touchwiz apps on cynogenmod.
1.You cannot post these kind of stuffs in this thread
2.Since the stock kernel for above 4.4 didn't provided by Samsung,devs cannot build touchwiz based rom of lollipop or higher

There ain't any TouchWIZ ROMs released by Samsung for our Exynos chipset. (Like for the Note 2, S3 etc). All run on Kitkat.
And also if it where there i need a F2FS patched kernel for AOSP's kernel to work on TW ROMs (which uses a different file system from AOSP for higher android versions).
Else i could've made an attempt like i did for Grand Prime. (But storage will not work, then someone good at compiling kernels could help me at that).
Regards!
Ok I understand,I would use CM but don't like the way it looks too Googly with the google Icons and thats,I hate Google phones and the way the ui looks,Samsung IU looks alot better and I didn't buy a Sam Phone for it to look like a Google one,oh what the themes like,is the a TW theme..??Is there a app launcher that acts like TW,Just fix this phone too,didn't connect to a network,now it does.. any one tried Note 7 rom..?

This phone is 5 years old , be glad that there is android 7 for our device if u don't like Google style , just install any of substratum theme, any launcher with different icon set , that's all

Will Substratum ever work on Samsung Marshmallow devices like the Galaxy S5?

As the title says: would support for official android touchwiz be added in the future or it's impossible? It's pretty bad that the S5 Neo got Nougat with the new Samsung Experience UI and the original flagship is stuck on the old UI on Marshmallow :/ Also, if I flash a custom ROM ported from the S8/Note 8 would Substratum work then? Thanks in advance!
Support
No the substratum does not have support for Samsung devices even if you put a Samsung based custom rom (in your case s8 port) it won't happen...you would need something more AOSP like lineage os kinda stuff
