Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why don't I have root access after installing OmniROM?
A: OmniROM does not have an official, prebuilt root method yet, so you'll just need to flash SuperSU in recovery and you'll have 100% working root access. SuperSU can be found here: SuperSU

Q: Where is <insert feature here>, like CM/AOKP/PA/etc have??
A: Omni is still very early in development, but moving at an incredibly fast rate. New feature, bug fixes, and device support are added just about daily. Check it out here: OmniROM Gerrit Review for the latest and greatest

Q: How do I start/stop screen recording?
A: Volume UP + Power will start screen recording. Simply drag the notification bar down and click the button to stop.

Q: HALP NFC doesn't work!!
A: We know.

anyone try it out yet?? i've been running it all day. everything's working great! :highfive:

lauterm · Oct 28, 2013

I just wiped everything and installed it. I haven't found any issues yet, but I haven't even made any phone calls yet.

Thanks a ton for pulling this all together and sharing with the rest of us. I've been itching to try Omni.

EDIT: I made a phone call now! I haven't run across anything that doesn't work. Calls, texts, camera all work fine.

I did load it up seems to run just fine, missing alot of features I like to use such as hardware keys (custom settings) which is the main thing and the general interface options so I'll wait for some future tweaks.

toxicpaulution · Oct 28, 2013

I'd love to try this but again what are the tweaks in this rom? What do they differ from others and what are the same?

Right now there are less than CyanogenMod, it is very close to stock AOSP at this point, but Gerrit review is overloaded with tons and tons of new features, theres at least one or so new features being merged in daily. Read the articles I posted in the OP for more information on that from the OmniROM team themselves, their philosophy, and future plans

lauterm · Oct 29, 2013

It might be missing some extras, but this is a very solid ROM.

I've only found two minor issues that are probably upstream issues. The capacitive buttons never light up. I'm pretty sure that's a known Omni-wide issue. Secondly, I got root to work, but OpenVPN Installer still says it can't remount /system as rw. I even tried remounting it rw first in root explorer, but it just won't install the OpenVPN binary. I'm guessing that's related to root not being built in.

Battery life seems good given how much I've had the screen on (50% battery with over 2.5 hours of screen on).

Overall, great job, Jake!

definitely. i didn't want to push out builds for a device that i couldn't test on.

If someone wants to test for me, I'll definitely do it. :highfive:

LamboDroid19 · Oct 29, 2013

Jakew02, I'm going to try to compile a build using your repos. Hopefully I can start trying to contribute a bit. I'm a total noob though.

Huh? Recovery is NOT built into the kernel for this device. Its in a different partition of its own. There is no compiling TWRP over CMW for this device. Recovery needs to be compiled separately if you're trying to compile your own. Just look in the device repos.

Well, add TWRP configuration to the device tree then and confirm it still builds
