[size=18]MCR - Modpack für Stock ROM´s[/SIZE]
MoDaCo Custom ROMs (MCRs) have always been based on the stock ROM for devices. I've recently switched my daily driver phone to a Nexus 6 and my daily driver tablet to a Nexus 9, giving me an opportunity to have a good play with Lollipop, the new Android release.
On the whole, the latest version of Android is fantastic, but as is often the case, I have seen a few opportunities for tweaks and improvements, which once again has started me thinking about MCRs, particularly with the loss of Xposed on Lollipop which had become the de-facto way to apply tweaks.
With this in mind, i've started looking at the best way to create and package modifications, and this modpack for the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 is the first step on that road.
Initially, the changes are purely to SystemUI. Only 2 files are changed, no wipe is needed if you already have an unlocked bootloader (stock certificates are retained). A 'MCR Control' application is included to configure the modifications.
Features (some are only available on specific devices / telephony enabled devices):
- 'MCR Control' configuration application
- A one handed mode which moves the button towards the edge on the navigation bar - press and hold back or recents to toggle
- Multiple battery level display options for status bar and lockscreen
- Option to enable the stock Lollipop battery percent feature
- Option to remove carrier label from lockscreen
- Option to reverse order of navigation buttons
- Option to retain network type indicators when roaming
- Option to disable '4G for LTE' indicator
- Option to disable orange colouring of status bar and navigation bar separately on battery saver
- Option to hide clock
- Option to disable icon when alarm is set
- Option to ignore priority when determining whether to show heads up notifications
- Option to disable heads up notifications altogether
- Option to double tap status bar to sleep
- Option to double tap navigation bar to sleep
- Option to enable double tap to wake (requires root, be sure to auth SuperSU after clicking the box, applies a few seconds after each boot) - NEXUS 6 ONLY
- Option to enable red / green charging LED (requires root, be sure to auth SuperSU after clicking the box, applies a few seconds after each boot) - NEXUS 6 ONLY
- Options to lock status and navigation bars to black (user request - Nexus 9 blacklight bleed mitigation)
- All options are applied in real time
- Compatible with both odexed and deodexed stock ROMs
To install:
- Ensure your device is running STOCK LRX22C - use on any other ROM version will make bad things happen!
- Download the zip file below
- Install or boot TWRP using fastboot
- Backup your stock system partition (you'll need to restore this to apply OTAs)
- Push the modpack zip file to /sdcard
- Install the zip file in the usual manner

Future releases will add features, but as always MCR will be focused on adding features in a stock style way - you should wonder whether they are mods or whether they were always there.
Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!
