-Car Home is disabled (boots straight to your app pages) I actually like Car Home but I know I'm in the minority
-Root works, superuser app is installed
Issues:
-Stock Bluetooth version was 01/26/2015. After flashing the new firmware, bluetooth version is UNKNOWN and bluetooth no longer works. The bluetooth option is there but it does not detect my phone and vice versa.
-Another separate issue which is prob just me being a noob is that I'm trying to install viper EQ but I keep getting an error when i try to do anything in the system folder. Such as delete the stock EQ app or move Viper EQ to the system/app folder. It says the system folder is read only.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix bluetooth or gain access to system folder please let me know. If I can't get the bluetooth working I'll have to go back to stock firmware.

Just wanted to update for those giving this firmware a shot. I did fix bluetooth by editing the bluetooth firmware version here:
http://ca-fi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=4715
However I cannot get ability to remount system folder as writable. Meaning I can't edit any of the apps in system folder. I do believe this is a true root as I checked it with root checker and also titanium backup works. However it's really unfortunate as I mainly rooted for viper4android but I am unable to remove stock EQ because it comes up as "read-only." I tried different supersu programs and and tried remounting via android terminal but get an "operation not permitted" error. Something is wrong here. If someone else has tried this 3/18 root with success please chime in.
Also can someone tell me what version of viper4android you have installed and working properly?
UPDATE: I asked over at the Ca-fi forums and got this answer:
"kernel 03/18 disables write to the folder system. there are no solutions yet..."
They posted a rooted January (01/22/15) firmware instead. Link:

I flashed this firmware which is automatically rooted. Able to edit system files without issues and able to install latest Viper4android without a hitch! You guys were right the sound quality is very cleaned up with viper4android. I feel I can turn up the volume with far more clarity.
