This is a beta test for MIUI 8 MM base for the Nexus 6P.
This version is based off patchrom, and is an unofficial build.
Up to date tutorial of how to build using patchrom - Here

WARNING: Your warranty is now void. I take no responsibility in the well-being of your device. Follow the instructions, and post detailed information if you face any issues.

Full install instructions can be found - Here
It is a long process, unfortunately
Ok, this should be the current install method that people are following. As of Oct/13/16

Download the necessary apk files and place them on your sdcard/emulated storage. (Keyboard of choice, rom manager/smanager, titanium backup, and working theme manager)
Wipe Dalvik, system, data, and cache
Flash fullota, vendor, gapps, superuser
Allow the rom to boot. Takes roughly 10 minutes for the first boot. You will experience some force closes
Pull the notification shade down, hit the gear icon to get into options. Go to about phone. Tap MIUI version until you have developer options.
Go back to settings, then find additional options. Scroll down to "Allow USB debugging". Check the box next to this option
Open permissions, application found on your homescreen select bottom option for root. Check the box and accept the prompt
It will say that it failed
Go to the homescreen and delete the supersu application (drag the icon to the top of the screen)
Open the file manager application and install Titanium backup. (This will help you determine if you're rooted)
Open script manger(browse as root). Navigate to /data/local/ and run userinit.sh as root.
Your gapps should now be functioning without force closing.
Now delete the themes application. (use a root file explorer, I use solid explorer. Theme manager is located in /system/apps/)(Must restart your phone after deleting the apk)
Install the theme manager from your sdcard
(You can download themes from Here (place them in the /miui/theme/ folder
Finally, fix file sharing issues by enabling Documents in the installed apps settings. (It is disabled by default. You'll have to enable it after every reboot)
To download off of Wi-Fi, go to downloads app, settings, change limit to your liking.
To keep documents enabled after reboots, follow theses instructions:
Enable Documents in "installed apps" settings
Go to developer options
Disable MIUI optimizations
Accept and reboot


Download links:
MIUI ROM - FullOta
Vendor - Vendor
GAPPS - GAPPS
GAPPS Mirror - GAPPS
Apps to place on sdcard - APPS
Superuser - SU Warning Won't prompt for super user permissions


Tested and working:
Data
Wi-Fi
Touch
Camera
Gyroscope
Fingerprint reader
NFC
Bluetooth
Gapps

Themes
File sharing

BUGS/TODO:
Package everything into an all in one package/less packages
Enable themes by default
Enable "Documents" by default
Find a better solution for gapps
Add su handling application
Add fully English keyboard to initial package

OK, do you have a 6p as well? Or are you building blind?

Just got this email: "You f****** loser, you test it first. Stupid noob. You want us to brick first? You test it first mother f*****"

If you don't want to test, don't. This is a development community, let's act like it. This build was never claimed to be safe/stable/usable/bootable.

    I'm going to try to tackle the to do list tomorrow. I've got a killer migraine atm.

    Thanks for all the kind words, and donations. You guys are great. I look forward to the day when this is flawless, just as much as you. If I'm not the one, there will definitely be someone. Now that the hard part is over.

    Goodnight everyone
