HelsAx7.Submix-MM-6.0.1-NAVOFF.zip (all versions and should work with Z.A.D.Mix7 0.3 too you need mount /system rw before flashing)
This is not a full rom but a build.prop flashable zip to disable on screen nav in Z.A.D.Mix7 or HelsAx7.SubMix

1- Reboot to TWRP
2- Wipe Cache - Dalvik
NOTE: I do not recommend a dirty flash over Z.A.D.Mix7 or Stock.B29 but I believe it's possible. I always reformat /data myself as I use an external sd and this is my habit since it's about as clean as you can get with minimal risk

3- Flash the version you prefer
4- REBOOT & BE PATIENT First boot will take a few mins since it's DEODEX.

* Additional Info :
If the first boot takes an extreme amount of time (greater than 7 mins on Bootanimation), JUST REBOOT AGAIN by Press & Hold of Power and let the booting complete a second time.
This is not rooted! I leave that to you as this is supposed to be as lean as I can get it.

Known Issues:
MM-6.0.1-F3: None

Notes:
I run this with f2fs on data and cache, so if you are having issues you *might* try changing the filesystems to f2fs in official TWRP 3.0.3 (I take NO responsibility and will not help you out if you did not use stable/official TWRP 3.0.3, don't be hasty and brick your device and don't try this if you are not willing to take the risk, personally I have not had issues on any rom including B29 stock but YMMV)

Finally once again THANKS to everyone in the community your support it's the icing on the cake!

Good work! I am just wondering about how you made the decision to remove Dolby? Thanks.

Good work! I am just wondering about how you made the decision to remove Dolby? Thanks.

Not OP but I have actually been doing this on every rom that I've done (whether it was stock or ZAD) via system app removers that require root. The decision is easy when you can replace Dolby with Viper4Android. I've actually had better sound quality using Viper than Dolby ever gave me. In fact, I went back to stock (pure stock, no root, etc) and the sound quality is poop.

I like my sound as unmangled as possible, Dolby is just an overhyped EQ IMHO. The framework is still in place for now. I've uploaded zip with the APKs from /system/vendor to androidfilehost. I can't guarantee they'll work without restoring to /system/vendor/app nor do I feel like testing so up to you guys to figure that out. If there is enough demand I'll consider building a flashable zip to restore but that would be after I remove the framework libraries.

Ah thank you I've been combining both but maybe I'm biased as these are the best speakers I've ever owned on a phone. I'm gonna see myself how that sounds removed.

I also use a do-it-all zip file that not only installs Viper but removes any possible conficts (MusicFX but since that is already removed), installs Busybox, and changes the SELinux mode.

Thank you! Does SELinux still need to be disabled? I had seriously thought it worked with SELinux enabled now. I don't remember changing or setenforce 0 but viper seems to work fine.

Yep, camera broken here too. Google camera works fine though.

Cause op doesn't want it? If you don't know how to root go ask in q&a or actually read some of the forum.

 

[Kevinkuensken]
