Features:
@tupac4u's Stock Deodexed/Debloated N6 MMB29V ROM with BusyBox
@buckmarble's latest Elite Kernel
Root completely removed
Full ARISE Sound Systems™ Genesis™ 0.9.4 and Audiophile™ 4.0 Profile injection
Material Light ViPER4Android 2.3.4.0 with its Super Quality driver preinstalled
Sony™ Music 9.1.9.A.1.0
Sony™ Album 7.7.A.0.10
/system/vendor/overlay to move Layer's apk's to for theming
Built-in tweak.prop support
Can be easily rooted by flashing SuperSU zip

Notes:
If deciding to remain rootless, TWRP will be your new File Manager for operations that require root.

Let's use adding Layers apk's as an example:
*Boot to recovery
*Mount > Check System
*Advanced > File Manager
*Navigate to desired Layers apk
*Tap apk and select Copy
*Navigate to /system/vendor/overlay
*Tap the button to Paste and swipe to complete Paste
!! You are now redirected to the original Layers apk directory !!
*Navigate to /system/vendor/overlay
*Tap apk, select chmod 0644, and swipe to complete the setting of permissions

The necessary Google Apps are included so do not flash any GApps package.

If coming from a rooted ROM and you wish to run this ROM without root then you will need to tap Full Unroot within the SuperSU app.

A Permissive kernel is required for full ViPER|Atmos™ functionality without root. If you insist on changing the kernel while remaining rootless then it must be a Permissive kernel.

If you want to run an Enforcing Selinux kernel with root then be sure to flash the ViPER|Audio™ Supolicy Script zip after the kernel change.

I've added a Layer's multi-apk Installer in the attachments section below. This zip is to be extracted and customized by the user. There is a readme.txt with instructions on what to do.

You can add ad-blocking by flashing the Adaway Latest Hosts Installer in the attachments section. This Installer will be updated when the hosts file is updated.

Installation:
Boot to recovery
Wipe > Advanced > System, Dalvik Cache, Cache
Mount > uncheck System
Install > ROM
Reboot
Settings > Apps > Menu > Show System > MusicFX > Disable

It is possible that a Factory Reset and System wipe is necessary if coming from a custom rom.

Updating:
Boot to recovery
Install > updated ROM
Reboot

First?? Holy crap!

Awesome, thanks for the Rom!

Btw, there's no download link...

Download link is up! Yay!

 

[noidea24]

Downloading, I'll check back in around an hour or so.

*When I find a DL link.
**Subscribed, waiting for a DL link.
***Installing


It's flawless. Took a minute to get data on Verizon. I don't use Android pay, so I went ahead and flashed su2.67. Everything is perfect, let's see how it holds up. Debating installing xposed.

I was checking out the DevDB for my ViPER|Audio™ projects when it hit me that it would be very well suited for this rom instead, making it available for all so that they don't have to catch it while it's randomly posted in my ViPER|Audio™ thread. :good:

 

[Droidphilev]

Thank you!! VERY usefull!!!

 

[oOflyeyesOo]

Wow, I am actually really happy you did this! I was running your custom rom you made with the miustone guy. So, we can run android pay with this correct, as there is no root?

Just FYI coming to this ROM I was rooted I never had to download supersu and unroot to get Android pay working. It just works for me and so far it feels snappy. Can't wait to jump in my car and setup all the audio stuff

Thanks for the report! I was hearing that Android Pay seemed to be working again with root so that's nice! You're in for a treat once you get into your car! :good:

Don't feel bad! I'm new to this DevDB stuff. Look for the link that simply says Download towards the bottom of the OP or click the Download tab in the DevDB area above the OP. :good:

Geez, you were right lol! I just now noticed it was gone now that I'm finally done with work. I need to get in the habit of editing the post through DevDB lol! Hope everyone has a great weekend, I'm starting mine right now! :highfive:

Hey I installed this and it looks pretty good so far. I've actually now got androidpay working. I wonder what would happen if we install cat mod while still staying unrooted?

It'll work. I think you have to install the Elite boot.img afterwards. @derekr44 knows the right steps. :good:
