This is my very own personally maintained custom ROM for the WiFi Nexus 9 (flounder/volantis) called Lollipopalooza!! It is an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) 5.0 based ROM with a simple aim... add a few useful features to AOSP without deviating too much.
This will be a spin-off of my previous Nexus 10 ROM ThunderKat, but from scratch and obviously based on Android 5.0.
I don't expect this to compete with the big boys (CyanogenMod, AOKP, Paranoid Android and the like) and this ROM will have a considerably limited feature-set compared to them. If you want a lot of customisations and configurations, they are definitely the way to go.
Please note that since this is a fully de-odexed ROM, it will take a while to boot up the first time. Please follow the installation instructions carefully.

Installation Instructions:
1. Download the ROM zip
2. Download the Google Apps Pack zip and SuperSU 2.46+ recovery zip [Optional]
3. Reboot into TWRP recovery and flash3.a. Lollipopalooza ROM
3.b. SuperSU [Optional]
3.c. Google Apps Pack [Optional]
4. Full wipe is mandatory if you are flashing this over any non-Lollipopalooza ROM. For all Lollipopalooza update, wipe cache and dalvik-cacheFor best results (This is recommended even if this seems older that the ROM):
For best results, please make sure you flash the latest bootloader and vendor image from the LMY47X factory image. For convenience, I have created a package with the bootloader and vendor image along with Windows & Linux scripts to flash them. Download 5.1.1Pre-requisites.zip from below. If you do not update to the latest bootloader and vendor image, I will not support any issue you may face.Help and troubleshooting
1. Be patient. It could take a few minutes to flash the ROM.
2. If you get "failed to mount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", unmount the system partition and try again
3. Make sure you use the latest SuperSU, preferably the recovery version of SuperSU.
4. If you flashed a kernel with SELinux disabled like the one provided by @USBhost on a previous build, make sure you flash that kernel after flashing the update (before you reboot), or you will get a bootloop and will have to perform a recursive restorecon on the /data partition to restore the SELinux contexts.
5. If you have a folder created in TWRP recovery mode which you cannot access when you boot up the ROM, you will need to perform a recursive restorecon on that folder restore the SELinux contexts.
