After firing up my old build environment I thought I would get cracking and start my own builds again so here we go.

Here are my unofficial builds which are completely stock with root disabled by default so android pay works out of the box. I have not modified anything aside from making it a user/release build rather than a userdebug build so any bugs in the nightlies will be in my builds as well.

** I am not responsible if your phone blows up or causes your mum to sneeze loudly in front of a cat **
** If you want root you will need to flash supersu or phh root in TWRP. **

Installation Perquisites
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP Recovery

I recommend using OpenGapps from http://opengapps.org/.

Notes
I have tested this build with the camera mod by @siankatabg and it no longer works however if it does start to work again down the line I will update this post.

Handy Hints.

If you want to get battery stats with better battery stats from XDA without root then enable ADB and run this command.

adb -d shell pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition android.permission.BATTERY_STATS

Thanks for this tip, trying to do without Root (sick of always trying to find workaround to get specific apps to work) and get by with just custom rom and kernel.

Much appreciated.

Is that AndroidPay will stop working even on stock OOS as soon it has been rooted?

Also, is the camera still worse than on stock?

Excuse my ignorance, but besides Android Pay, what's the point of having no root custom rom, as many apps need root rights. Take even Titanium Backup...
What are the core advantage of Paranoid compared to other ROMs out there?

While I agree the custom ROM scene doesn't have much of a place for non rooted ROMs. (Titanium backup is the best example out of them all), it is a matter of choice at the end of the day. A persons wife for just one example might like all the cool extra options and themes that CM gives but what's Android Pay and has no purpose for root. (It's not a secure thing for those to have that aren't totally savvy) so why not use something like this? All about choice.

Some people may want the extra customisation of a custom rom but want to use their banking,android pay apps which do not work with root.

And it's a lot easier to flash root than trying to remove it from CM13 nightlies where it's in by default.

And like kickassdave said It's all about choice at the end of the day.

When systemless supersu is installed, it has the switch to temporarily un-root. Would that be a lot easier option than flash root witch has no uninstaller option? Will AndroidPay work when temp uprooted?

Android Pay detects systemless root the only guaranteed way to keep it working is never to root unfortunately.

Some have got it working using magisk and phh root.
