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)

Changelog

HalOmni-20140614:

Code:

- Fixed Lockscreen Notifications
- build type is user (odexed ROM, thanks walter79)

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.

Ok I found the commits that add the theme engine, but there are 8 of them so it will take some time. Starting either tonight or tomorrow

In the meantime you guys can try this:

Congrats on your great work @paxy97

Just want to check how's the battery life on your home-version. I'm using walter79's and very happy with stability and battery.
You mention also in the bugs section that Active Display crashes?? I'm having no issues at the moment, and I really like this feature.
Any clue why it doesn't work on yours? If this is the case, not sure if I should change or maybe wait a bit.

Also, how is it with the Bluetooth issue? Still ongoing?

Anyway, I thank you for the hard work and the effort you are putting into this... keep it up.

:good:

Hm strange, when I flashed this ROM and enabled active display systemUI started crashing and I could do anything except boot to recovery and wipe data :/. Also while I was fixing some issues in the code I noticed that a lot of them came from active display conflicts.

I don't know about bluetooth, but I assume it's still bugged since my build is pretty much omni from source. I haven't changed anything regarding bluetooth.

I will

... until july 22nd, because I'm going on vacation for 3 weeks

For old cm themes. there are 9 commits: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/2790/ #mGerrit

TheEdgeOfRage · Jun 10, 2014

I'm sorry to say that I probably will not be able to make a CM version, because CM code is too different from Paranoid and I get too many errors that can only be solved by rewriting most of the statusbar and notificationService code (which I have neither the time, not the knowlege for). Sorry again, going back to dirty unicorn porting

Don't sweat over it, I assure you your efforts are highly appreciated.

Thank you for your work and please, keep it up!

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

. So hopefully in about 15h you'll have a build if it runs without any errors

TheEdgeOfRage · Jun 12, 2014

New build coming coming soon (today or tomorrow, depends if it builds and uploads before I go to sleep).

Features:
- walter's personal kernel sources (the ones he uses for homemade builds)
- Omni's multiwindow (it's EXTREMELY unstable. It's still under review on gerrit)
- Omni changes so far
* Theme manager is still giving me a lot of errors so sadly no build with it yet

Yeah, it's much better than active display. Not buggy and doesn't consume as much battery.

TheEdgeOfRage · Jun 13, 2014

Damn it. I just got up, looked at my PC and realised that it failed to build because I'm out of HDD space -.-. I had 30gb free didn't expect it to use that much. Anyway uploading the build when I come home from school

TheEdgeOfRage · Jun 13, 2014
