I am very new to the nexus line as I came from a locked galaxy s5 on Verizon. However I have seen you can get the kernel to always be permissive. What benefits does this bring? I use xposed and was wondering if anything would help me there. Thanks for any help or insight!
Some xposed modules and mods may require the kernel to be permissive.

It should be noted that Google wants your phone to be in enforcing to be secure.

Are there any other benefits or uses other than xposed?
Also, are most custom kernels enforcing by default? Still trying to understand everything

You can't use Xposed on lollipop at this present time
No Xposed for Lollipop anytime soon and possibly never at all, per the last publicly posted comments from Xposed OG developer rovo89.

Check github comments. It is not dead, there is activity there. Everybody can help and contribute useful feature since rovo89 is all about ART/Lollipop/SELinux now.

Can you link me to this publicly posted comment? I would like to read up on it. I know there are problems with SElinux and the context's that can be ran in order to get xposed app_process to run with the proper contexts. I also remember that being a problem with root. The only way around it was with a custom kernel. Things may have changed since I read that though.

Xposed is not compatible with Lollipop (ART) yet. Hence it wont work! Refer the below screenshot taken from note 2 running on 5.0.2.
Developer of xposed is a real genius, Its jus matter of time when he comes with new update for lollipop.

Im counting on it. His app made all my roms 10x's better.. and more useful.
Aww no xposed?
sorry for noobieness but, is @rovo89 still working on the issue or that xposed art will not be?
All the information on ART/Lollipop and Xposed is available in the pinned thread here.
Pending further information to the contrary from rovo89 himself, you can assume he's still working on it.

Couldn't find anything on this, but apparently people are having success installing xposed framework on the nexus 6 without having to soft boot every time to get the modules to work.
If anyone has had any success with this, could you please provide the process how to.
Thanks

Install lean kernel and use lkconfig to force permissive.
In the thread about xposed, there is a flashable zip. Worked for me on elemental.

I usually prefer Franco but it seems in his quest for insane battery life he has somehow sacrificed performance on this phone as the UI is a little more stuttery. Does have better battery though. Also with that flashable zip above, I tried it, but the hack never seemed to launch in time for xposed to see it and I would have to soft reboot anyway. The lean kernel method works great and its an awesome kernel.
There's elementalx kernel too, which is great. There's a whole thread in N6 general about what you can try.

2 things.
1. This is an old thread and was due to the requirement for SELlinux permissive on an old alpha of xposed
2. Nexus 6 does not have an sd card slot, ergo, the ONLY place for apps is "phone" anyway

I'm running Canadian lollipop.
I couldn't tell it was working til I was in a car.
Are you sure it's not working?
I'll tell you my settings.
V4A does not work on TW Lollipop. You have to modify the build prop and a few other things, plus switch SELINUX to permissive.
There is no way currently to turn SELINUX to permissive on TW Lollipop and the developer for V4A has not changed the code to work with it set to enforcing yet.
If you have it installed I can promise you it is not working on either the Canadian ROM or the TMOBILE base.

Not true. U just need one of the various kernels which are already available then a build.prop change and permissive work great.
Keep in mind, u do this and you have to tweak SHEALTH and might lose private mode.
You are right that it won't be happening soon on pure stock.

The one I'm using "thinks" it's working, I always have it disabled and set to Cellular preferred. So I can't really be sure it is working since I don't really use it. I can't post a link, etc, because the DEV team got fed up with the stupidity going on here and moved everything to his own forum.
Give it a bit more time and I'm sure there will be a ton of options for you very soon.
Does anyone know if it works with the new Bioshock Lollipop-TW kernel?
Viper is the only reason I rooted my Note 4. No LP for me until Viper is updated.
So what are the exact steps that I need to take to make V4A work on LP? What is the build.prop edit and how do achieve the permissive change?
Project Infinity comes with Viper working and it's a Lollipop ROM. I'm just waiting for the update to include T-Mobile's new firmware...

i install it by flashing it in twrp recovery, never had a problem installing it. you can also unzip the app and place it unto /system/priv-app/ and then reboot.

Where are you getting the zip from? I googled viper4android nexus 6 and found this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137
However, I followed the details exactly and it is not working. The driver status says abnormal.

odd. works fine here. works fine for everyone i know that uses it. thats where i got it from as well.
You will need something to switch it to either enforcing or permissive. Which ever one it calls for. Not all roms are set the same. Never found a use for it myself but there is a thread in the apps and themes section.

After changing it over to permissive it worked. Question for you, does that effect the operation of the ROM in any way?

Some say it makes it less secure but to be honest the rom I run has it set to permissive so that the built in theme engine works and I have never had an issue. Mind you I dont do alot with my device really. Just the normal. Calls, SMS and work stuff. The rest of the time is sits in my pocket.

It's possible with a custom built kernel where this switch is enabled. But in January Huawei decided we can't use custom kernel anymore... It flashes but can't boot with it.
This "fix" was added in Mate 10 Pro, BLA-L29C432B179 (9.0.0.179). And they most likely did the same for other devices in January.
@E.Sivko for what reason do you need permissive?

I want to use tincore keymapper. I tried other mappers but they all have a problem with semi touch. For example i connected single handed gamepad mapped buttons and sticks, I hold left stick to run in a game and at same tame trying to look around using touchscreen in shooting game, so then i tap on screen gamepad stops working and i need press stick on gamepad again if i want to run. So I can't use touchscreen and gamepad same time because they stops each other.
