[size=18]MCR - Modpack für Stock ROM´s[/SIZE]
"Erklärung"
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 5, 6 and 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.
[size=18]Features (some are only available on specific devices / telephony enabled devices):[/SIZE]

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.
