Wow this is great. I hope someone port this to atrix hd.
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------
Which of these models is gsm so i can try flashing this on atrix hd?

Awesome awesome!! Been waiting in anticipation for this will try as soon as possible!
EDIT: Ok, I have only had limited time to test. But briefly put things looks promising here:
Installed without any problems (using latest TWRP in my case).The same bugs that exist in CM 11 are also present here, which is it to be expected (e.g. broken video playback). This is perfectly natural for such an early release and no doubt these will get sorted out as development progress. I am glad to try out this early build. For an alpha it seems very stable and definitely looks promising! I initially tried the official Slim Gapps (as linked to). They seemed fine. Since then I have installed ART compatible Gapps from the CM thread (13/11 i believe). Now running in ART runtime mode. Yes this does introduce some problems and not all apps are compatible, however from my experience ART also introduce a previously unseen level of smoothness. Will continue to use this the next days and of cause eagerly follow development.
@darkspadez (and all other other involved devs of cause): Congrazt on this first public SlimKat build for our phones!

I am using latest twrp recovery found here in the RAZR development forum. I can't say if this the best option though. I can only say that in my case it worked fine (install, backup and restore).

I'm one of the devices running the buggy EMMC.
Error is the same as all the others (I wish there were a kernel fix for it):
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Back to the drawing board...

I was flashing fine with cwm 6.0.3.6 for the epinter build. I did finally update, but I had to use a .bat file in conjunction with a special fastboot.exe file to actually upgrade the recovery, because otherwise it would just fail to upload. I was having backup issues with TWRP, so I just stick with CWM now. Haven't had any issues. If you want to try that .bat .exe combo I found, let me know.

I was expecting to read about the ROM, but only see comments about recoveries. Any comments on the ROM? Video recording/playback is working?

Working great on atrix hd other then i get no signal. Everything else seen to work. I also had to edit the build.prop to change the resolution to 320 so it doesn't look so small on my atrix hd

Obviously it does. In fact, CyanDelta only make a flashable package, that you have to install manually from recovery. Then, yep.
BTW, now want also to make for you a Touch version of this CWM.

cyandelta installs the zip automatically too, if the recovery supports openrecovery script. TWPR does, and so does the CWM based recovery in CM sources. the original CWM from rom manager does not work properly AFAIK

It could be that CWM from Rom-Manager is out-to-date.
The only way it could not work, is because thi updated CWM still need some merging and commits by the team. Just try and let us know!

About Ubuntu, it's not that simple.
It seems 4X kernel from CM team does not load into the system.
Unfortunately, I cannot debug which is the problem surely: but I'm sure I'll return on it in a week at least. I've some thoughts about how to make it loading and booting next to the kernel!

As I understood CWM Touch is buildable only through clockworkmod-builder, and I'll do it. The only problem is that in that site, the sources are out-to-date, linked to 4.3 branches.
So, we have to wait, till CWM will update the sources linked in the site to build a 6.0.4.4 touch recovery.

[OFFICIAL][RECOVERY] Cannibal Open Touch v3.0 Alpha Builds (latest: Alpha 10)

Cannibal Open Touch 3.0 Alpha 10
Disclaimer:
While we try to test our work as much as possible, it is always a possibility that something could go wrong and screw up your phone. We are not responsible for any damage that is done to your device, either directly or indirectly, as a result of using Cannibal Open Touch or any other Project Open Cannibal projects. Any damage done to your device is your responsibility and your responsibility only. We do this for fun, and we simply like to share our work.
What is Cannibal Open Touch?
Cannibal Open Touch is a custom recovery (like ClockworkMod or TWRP), created purely out of love for the platform and the desire to contribute something cool to the community. The name embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. We take what we believe are the best features of popular recoveries like TWRP and ClockworkMod and, well, cannibalize them along with rolling out our own features.
Features:
Full Touch UI
Complete theme support, including app for management of themes (we'll get to that in a sec)
On-device backup and restore
Backup and restore via ADB
Much much more planned!
Bugs:
During installation, the standard Android installing icon gets displayed instead of the custom dialog box.
If you find a bug, please do not report it here! Instead, report it in the GitHub repository!
Screenshots
See the Screenshots tab above. (Or click me if you're using Tapatalk!)
Nandroid has been replaced!
Nandroid is in fact gone, and has been replaced with a much more robust backup solution. Backups can now be made either with ADB (the recommended way) or via the new Backup and Restore item in the main menu. Backups made via the built-in menu can be copied to a PC and restored via ADB, and backups made via ADB can likewise be copied to your device and restored using the Backup and Restore menu.
Code:
adb backup -f mybackupfilename.ab boot system data cache
You can also restore said backup by using adb, like so:
Code:
adb restore mybackupfilename.ab

adb reboot bootloader
Flash the image with fastboot
Code:

Changelog:

Themes are now stored in /cache/cot/themes to fix an issue introduced with FDE.
3.0 Alpha 9 (2.99.9)
Real menu scrolling! (but volume keys still work)
All backup/restore operations now verify that you want to take action
Resized UI to be more usable on all device resolutions
Themes can now display a battery charge indicator (depends on individual theme settings)
3.0 Alpha 8 (2.99.8) (not released)
Not released
3.0 Alpha 7 (2.99.7)
On-device backup and restore
3.0 Alpha 6 (2.99.6)
Complete theme support
Recovery settings (Theme settings and Unsigned ZIP flashing)
The preceding list is not 100% complete. See the project source code page for the full commit list.
Cannibal Open Touch themes app:
We are currently seeking Alpha testers for an app that will let users download and choose themes without rebooting to recovery mode. Currently there are 20 slots open. If you wish to join please PM me. The only requirement is you must have a Google+ account and are willing to submit proper bug reports, should any arise.
Cannibal Open Touch Themes:
You can now make your own themes for Cannibal Open Touch! See the example themes (it's pretty self-explanatory). Themes must be installed in /sdcard/cot/themes/theme_name (or /data/media/cot/themes/theme_name) in order to work. Please feel free to submit pull requests to have your custom themes added to the theme repository. They will also be packaged and made available to download via the Cannibal Themes app (mentioned above)!

TWRP still uses some really old code for pixelflinger. We have been using a JB era patch from Intel to add x86 optimized acceleration, which Dees_Troy(TWRP dev) and the zenfone5/6 devs ported to KK & LP. I updated it for M, but this is about as good as it gets until TWRP overhauls that section of their code. Without this patch is basically unusable.
And yes the new theme is sexy It's months in the making from TWRP contributer @z31s1g and it's quite lovely.

Ah, I understand the situation now and glad that the patch worked out for the time being. Definitely better than not having the latest TWRP to play with, so my highest gratitude for the amazing work bringing up Marshmallow in time for the holidays! :thumbup:

This is a bit wonky with device encryption. It'll boot the recovery without a theme loaded and ask for my pattern (as expected). I'll put that in and it'll decrypt and mount storage, then the "put in your pattern" prompt comes up again (this time, with my twrp theme loaded). I can cancel that prompt just fine and it'll sit on the main screen and I can proceed from there, so it's not a showstopper at least.
This didn't happen on 2.8.7.3.
edit: on flashing opengapps 6.0 micro, I'm warned that the recovery is missing the xz binary and can't flash the zip (and told me to update to the latest recovery for my device, lol). I'll upload the generated log shortly.
edit edit:
Code:
# Begin Open GApps Install Log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM Android Version | 6.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# End Open GApps Install Log
INSTALLATION FAILURE: The installer detected that your recovery does not support
XZ decompression. Please update your recovery or switch to another one like TWRP.
# Begin User's gapps-config
# End User's gapps-config
Fortunately, flashing my L-gapps seems to have worked fine (...seeeeeems to. I'll see if it works. The setup app did at least update itself, so there's that.)

Is there an easy way to update my TWRP? Any apps that can do this for me?

I know Flashify can do that in many devices, I am not sure about ours, I think best way would be to flash it using fastboot.

Marshmallow recovery can be used to flash lollipop Rom...??..and vice versa...??

Any difference for 2.8.7.4 vs .3 other than the look? Googled it and found nothing.

Why not via TWRP itself? TWRP has a feature to flash an .img directly to boot or recovery.

I am on 2.8.7.3. I am thinking to flash cm13. Is it necessary to update twrp? Or I can flash cm13 using my old one?

Pretty much, LP version is stable and works for flashing M ROMs.

This is a bit wonky with device encryption. It'll boot the recovery without a theme loaded and ask for my pattern (as expected). I'll put that in and it'll decrypt and mount storage, then the "put in your pattern" prompt comes up again (this time, with my twrp theme loaded). I can cancel that prompt just fine and it'll sit on the main screen and I can proceed from there, so it's not a showstopper at least.
This didn't happen on 2.8.7.3.
edit: on flashing opengapps 6.0 micro, I'm warned that the recovery is missing the xz binary and can't flash the zip (and told me to update to the latest recovery for my device, lol). I'll upload the generated log shortly.
edit edit:
Code:
# Begin Open GApps Install Log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM Android Version | 6.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# End Open GApps Install Log
INSTALLATION FAILURE: The installer detected that your recovery does not support
XZ decompression. Please update your recovery or switch to another one like TWRP.
# Begin User's gapps-config
# End User's gapps-config
Fortunately, flashing my L-gapps seems to have worked fine (...seeeeeems to. I'll see if it works. The setup app did at least update itself, so there's that.)

Will look into both issues, I am encrypted currently but without a pin/pattern and don't have that issue.

So what's the difference of this TWRP and TheSSJ TWRP?

The 2nd one happened after I decrypted; I forgot to mention that. I don't think it actually happened when I was encrypted using the L-based recovery (I upgraded my recovery, then decrypted, then tried flashing the rom + gapps)

Thread moved to proper forum

Having the same issue actually, not encrypted, worked on .3 no pin or lock on screen either. Happened trying to install the latest Gapps package.

ended up fastboot installing the recovory, didnt work, factory reset, then try it, didn't work, fixing permissions, all that, nothing has worked for me, the latest .4 twrp still comes up with that "The installer detected that your recovery does not support
XZ decompression." Error.

well yeah when you have a missing binary reflashing it probably isn't going to do anything, assuming it didn't get corrupted

I'm working with your 3.2.1 version since the beginning and except aroma absolut everything is working. Never had any issue with MTP. Always worked stable so far. I did countless restores and all worked flawless even with swipe code in place.
So thanks very much to provide us with the very first working TWRP for the OP6.
Regarding aroma support, would you agree to my feeling that this is not an issue to be solved in the twrp framework but probably being a bootloader or firmware issue?

Simple temporary fix to avoid kernel panic on mtp:
Do not connect usb cable
Toogle unmount mtp, wait few second and enable mtp again in mount menu in recovery. Connect usb.

Yes I have tested it and can confirm it's working. Just make sure you unmount mtp and remount it before attaching the USB cable (thanks to @DocRambone for the tip)

I just flashed your new mtp enabled zip version and screen brightness went down considerably even it's on 100% already. Does anybody know a workaround to get it brighter again?

Can you add another mirror like androidfilehost please? Unable to access google drive...

Seems to be a general problem. I've the same, but not only with this version of TWRP, also with the original version.
It starts by me sometimes flashing 3.2.1.0 if i remember right and I never found a solution to get the screen brightness full back again ?

Could this have anything to do with why aroma isn't working?

Note to ROM Developers
If you are embedding Magisk Zip into your ROM, and your ROM uses Aroma Installer, please be aware that on some devices (most likely Samsung devices), it is possible that the installation process of Magisk could break Aroma. Please test flashing your ROM zip before releasing to your users. If you found out you are the few unfortunate devices, unzip the Magisk zip, and do the following changes and re-zip the installer:
Code:
# Remove or comment out these 2 lines in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script eval $BOOTSIGNER -verify < $BOOTIMAGE && BOOTSIGNED=true $BOOTSIGNED && ui_print "- Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0"
The reason why Aroma Installer breaks is unknown. Maybe consider letting the project that's abandoned for nearly 5 years go?
