Root Achieved Nexus 4 6.0 roms

COMPLETELY BASED OFF OF @Dmitry KERNEL WITH PATCHED SUPOLICY
DISCLAIMER: Blah blah blah I didn't break your phone don"t blame me.
Background
Well It actually wasn't too hard to achieve even though I know nothing of the boot.img. Just followed @Chainfire guide on installing SuperSu for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Booted my nexus into a lollipop rom and flashed SuperSu beta 2.51, did some adb commands to patch the selinux policy and recompiled and flashed boot.img
SELINUX IS ENFORCING
Steps to Root your new Nexus 4 running the latest Marshmallow
1) FLASH YOUR PREFFERED 6.0 ROM.
2) FLASH MODIFIED BOOT
BOOT.IMG V2
MEGA MIRROR
3) FINALLY FLASH SUPERSU BETA 2.51
4) PROFIT
CREDITS:
@Chainfire for his amazing SU work and great guide on noob patching selinux
@Dmitry Grinberg for his awesome 6.0 rom I'm running and for providing a boot.img with dmverity already disabled
Leave a thanks if you felt like I helped

CHANGE LOG
V1: First boot image throw together for root.
V2: Data Fix merged from @Dmitry

How can I easily check this? Looking for an app now.

Looks like its enforcing according to SElinuxModeChanger apk. Asks if I want to put it into permissive at least.

It works.. Thank you..

There is nothing to look into about that. Enforcing is what it should be.

Also a google engineer on aosp on m live thread is making a boot.img that's going to enable data. He'll be adding selinux policies to it after a bit of experinentation. When that's working do integrate those changes into your boot.img so we can have root and data together(in enforcing mode) which is the way it's all supposed to work
EDIT:- here you go :3

OK Dmitry has fixed the data issue and uploaded a new boot image, hopefully @ktetreault14 can fix that (after a well earned sleep session ) so we can root also, thanks again.

Get to what?
It's a boot.img replacement so you need to use fastboot to flash it, just reboot your phone to the bootloader and use fastboot.exe to flash it using "fastboot flash boot <filename>" (Obviously replacing <filename> with whichever file you want to flash.

decrypt data,make a full wipe on twrp.should be working.
you need to have installed the latest fw.
soon i will make a new post.

The instructions may be helpful, e.g., need latest TWRP. Does that mean the TWRP 3.0.3-1 or the TWRP in the original post, and if so do you flash the twrp.img in the decompressed .rar file, or is there an extension change.
Thanks for the continued good work.

Can't you use the Huawei update extractor to extract UPDATE.APP and flash that? Or get someone to make a system backup in TWRP and send it to you?

I don't have the 2017 version, but what does it say? Can't you flash the system via fastboot? Or use stock recovery and force update to update it? Just remember that you need a FULL package. On most Huawei phones you can just flash a FULL package I'm TWRP. Just OTA doesn't work because it doesn't include a full system.img most of the times.

Once you have root, even with the Stock ROM, you can already start uninstalling System Apps to debloat.

Sorry, I meant installing, not restoring. It's just bascally downloading the ROM, extracting the contents using Huawei update extractor, and using ADB to push the files in. You will need to reinstall TWRP and Root afterwards..Google is your friend, there are instructions out there, as there are 3 ways to install the stock ROM: using the updater on your phone, using the key combo, and the 3rd one being ADB.

There are no features yet, I am working on EAS tweaks for stock at the moment and will likely also do an HMP kernel

n00b question... What does this kernel have? Also would you be able to dive into the camera apk to help solve compression issue and color saturation since you have the phone now?

R2 is up now, I am working on getting AnyKernel to work and keep recovery on device if possible when flashing.

We have confirmed that the flashable zip keeps TWRP on your phone and you get to keep the kernel and your system working fine!
To root with this, flash twrp to your boot partition using fastboot, flash the kernel zip and then flash magisk.
EDIT: also confirmed to work on nougat!

Tried Rey2.zip nd booted back to twrp and the touch didnt work. Using the latest twrp as well

Is Magisk working with this kernel on Oereo B2? Magisk 14.3 caused lots of reboots, 14.6 just doesn't work (no magisk after boot).

Looking into it, I think flashing magisk makes touch work, will see if I can fix it within the kernel side.

The problem with the stock camera app was that it compresses images too much, they have lower the compression ratio but it is still not good enough. You can try it yourself to see what I mean. In broad day light outdoor, the images appears to be great but if you zoomed in, you will see it it just doesn't look right. The color is washed out as well, and you don't see any details. Looks like everything is smoothed out. File size is about 6 to 7mb or so. The low light shots are worst, it's about 3mb and there's more fuzzy stuff and lack of details/sharpness.
If you can dive deep into the apk to see what they set the compression to, and change that to possibly 0, and see what else needs to be changed. I spoke to Arnova8g2, who helped ported the gcam hdr+ to oneplus3/3t and he helped fixed the compression a bit on the older apk but I can't overwrite it no matter what. Let me know if you need any more info.

I followed
Unlock phone>flashed TWRP>backed up stock rom>wiped data, system, dalvik>flashed NOS> Gaaps>Magisk.
But after setting pattern when i rebooted my phone my phone, I'm getting enter pattern to start option at boot however it is booting after entering pattern but this is annoying as phone is asking for pattern on every boot.

Tested TWRP 3.2.1-5 img, it started but looks frozen, any touches on screen does nothing.

Thank you, prin2ce! I found it, though I can't notice big difference between that one and the official one.
I noticed It might be able to backup Firmware, but it's 0MB and in mount menu I cannot mount/unmount Firmware.
So, I think I stick to the official one yet.

I'm still very newbie to android customization, so I thought it would be great if I would had a full system backup.
It could have saved me a half a day finding the problem some days ago when I flashed a not-so-perfect firmware.
I am so much worried about screw the bootloader or something up

No just follow these steps-
Wipe system data cache dalvik. Then flash ROM and gapps and magisk if you want and you are good to go btw you need not flash fw everytime you flash a ROM if you want to update fw you can dirty flash it through twrp
