Root Android Lollipop?

Okay I'm going to release what I have now. Please do not expect this to be fully functional.

Okay I've got camera working but with the same problems are kitkat. so use a 3rd party app for camera. Also video recording for the back camera is no good but front camera works. H/W video decoding doesn't work (but you can still use s/w decoding). Gps doesn't work. Radio/service doesn't work. Other than that I think everything else works.

Also the first boot takes a very long time. You'll need to do a full wipe.

Uploading now.

can't find the down load link is it up yet?
 
Well it boots and looks beautiful. Found issues within the first 10 minutes of playing with it:
1: not rooted
2: stuttery
3: downloaded apps don't show up in the app drawer
4: (minor complaint) that white keyboard hurts the eyes and I keep missing the button I intend to hit because there's no guide between the letters
5: you weren't kidding about that boot time, 5+ minutes

Otherwise it is functional and looks gorgeous! I know for a fact it will improve over time. Awesome work phenomx4!
