It's very nice, and installed with zero issues using the 5/22 gapps from the Lollipopalooza thread.
Almost everything I try to install other than AICP fails with lots of Google Play Services errors. (The 5/20 AICP nightly worked after I updated to 5.1.1 bootloader and vendor.) I assume I'm doing something wrong.
But no matter - this works great, it's dark, and it has this interesting wolf motif going on. It makes me want to howl. Very cool.

It just shows you that every device is different. I tried the 5/22 gapps from the Lollipopalooza thread and kept getting play services FC'ing. I switched to the the 5/21 DU gapps and everything worked fine. It is great to see validus on our device. everything is working great. Thanks you and look forward to future updates.

Thank you for this.. I understand this rom is dark themed, but does it utilize rro or CM Theme engine, and is there a light version? Thank you

Theme engine is literally the first thing listed under features, and you can see the Themes icon in the screenshots. Come on, lol.

My goal with this ROM is to build a new release every week. But that might depend on how busy I am, or if there are any changes that justifies a new build.

Extract the vendor image, put in your FASTBOOT folder
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

I don't think so. Fastboot is the right method.

Looking forward to this one, funny I asked Char G a week ago if a ROM for the 9 was in the pipeline. My wish came true.

My build is unofficial. Maybe validus team will release an official build in the future.
