Any chance some of the "Known issues" got eliminated in this build?

Active display is still not working, booth halo bugs would be a bit more complicated to fix, but I'll try. Now I have another problem :(. Kickback notifications aren't working either. Not sure what's causing it but SystemUI is crashing too. There's probably a conflict between the notification handlers of halo and omni.

Ok I found another set of commits that add lockscreen notifications. Both have been rated +1 for CR on gerrit, so hopefully they will work (an meybe even merged in the future, who knows :))

Syncing, cherry-picking and building in 30 minutes max (I mean I'll start then)

UPDATE:

Lockscreen notifications are making too many problems :( I'll try building without HALO and see if it's any better. If not I'll have to give up on them, but I'm preparing a surprise anyway :)

UPDATE2:

I wont be home today and tomorrow, but I have a PC and ssh access to my main machine, so I can probably still build, but not upload though

    This Project has been made obsolete by Alx31TLse's Dirty unicorn port. I'll decide whether I will morph this into something new or completely abandon it

    Introduction

    This is ROM is built from Omni sources, but I cherry-picked (added manually) HALO from paranoid sources. This is my first ROM that I've every built so don't expect it to work perfectly.
    Please read the FAQ and Known Issues sections before complaining about anything. DO NOT ask for ETAs (I will smite you if you do)

    Screenshots

    Coming soon (probably today or tomorrow)

    Features

    • All Omni Features
    • Paranoid Android HALO
    • Lockscreen Notifications

    Known Issues

    • Active Display causes SystemUI FC. DO NOT activate it or you will have to wipe data
    • Halo disappears from the screen completely when hidden (There is an option to disable that, but not in this build. Working on it)
    • Halo is a bit buggy when rotating the screen. Just disable and enable it from the notification drawer.
    • Multiwindow is still quite buggy, but that's not my fault. Blame team Omni for not finishing it ;)

    FAQ Section

    Will be filled over time.

    I am :), my pc has been running 48h straight downloading and building. Now I downloading dirty unicorn sources again, because I messed up the last ones. Hopefully I'll at least get that to build. Should not be too difficult though. It's based on pure omni, so I'll just add our device tree from omni's github and use walter personal github for the kernel, which is amazing btw :D. So hopefully in about 15h you'll have a build if it runs without any errors
