Nexus 9 nethunter Nougat

Tried getting help on #nethunter but to no avail (using the nethunter build process on the wiki) Has anyone had any luck with Nougat on the Nexus 9 (flounder)?
I'm able to install the kernel and install nethunter, but nethunter terminal fails (along with some other apps) and google apps keep closing.
Chroot indicates successfull installation but when trying to add packages or running nethunter terminal, the terminal app crashes.

I've tried the nightly builds on idlekernel / build.nethunter.com and i've also tried building the kernel from scratch using the github repo.

Any direction or insight would be appreciated.
