Root Android Lollipop?

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!
I got it rooted with the beta supersu posted. No stuttering for me. Apps from the play store are in my app drawer. They where not there immediately but are now. I changed my keyboard color to holo blue. The initial boot is long but not afterwards. I would wait an hour if I had to on the first boot to run this. I am loving it!

Looks like I was wrong about GPS not working. It seems to be but maybe you guys can confirm as well.
GPS works great for me with sky eye. Locks fast as well. Only thing that I have came across that bothered me was the background audio would get stuck in a loop on my game house casino game. Also my pale moon browser crashes on opening. Minor things to me. Just got to test my talkatone now and if it works then I personally don't see any reason to go back to any other ROM. Thank you so much! You made my Thanksgiving by myself so much more bareable
 
Just a head's up for you guys. Developer options don't show up in setting's by default. To enable them go to settings and about. Scroll to the bottom and tap the build number area about 7-10 times I think. This gives you the developer options link in setting's. Xposed framework as far as I know won't work on lollipop because it use's the newer art runtime. I mainly enabled developer options so I could enable the advanced reboot menu that let's me reboot to recovery.
 
Thanks for the find I found a game on hidden go to about then tap on on it till a lollipop show's up then long press till another screen pops up tap screen an have fun

I knew about the easter egg but didn't know it turns into a really really hard game by long pressing lol. Took me about 50 times till I made it through the lollipops once hehehe.

Install es file explorer from the play store. You should be able to see the internal card and cut cm12 from the download folder. Then at the top switch to the SD card and paste. No root needed for basic file functions between the 2. Only need root to look at files in the system folders.
