Question Any New Rom Dev for Omnia 2?

Hello,

i just received my new Omnia 2, and when i was looking for custom Roms I couldn't find any. so i just went and updated the phone to a WM 6.5.
I have a number of questions:
1. Is there anyone currently working on a new Rom for the Omnia 2?
2. this is more of a comment, but i think the touchwiz 2.0 is lacking in terms of unity and wanted to know if anyone is working on a custom version?
3. i really hate that the call/ text notification when someone is calling/texting you is just the plain old WM. i want it to at least look like when the screen is off and it has this cool slide answer function or something other that the WM for that matter. ( that was not a question now was it?.....)

plz respond, I'm open to any suggestions. or hints for my Omnia 2.

Also, i'm really new to the whole changing to custom Roms and such, so i would really appreciate it if someone puts on a post on how to actually ge the Hard SPL(?) Rooting, ...... the whole 9 yards on this.
Thank you,

Actually i did try that as i saw in a video on youtube. but i couldn't find the options for it.
and I also noticed that the settings interface for my Omnia 2 is completely different for the one in the video.
is there other versions of the touchwiz or does it change from region to region? I bought mine from the middle east.
i was really shocked by this when i found out that it was different form the video. could anyone elaborate on this?
thanks

Their are several phones using the name Omnia
Omnia 8000, Omnia i920, Omnia lte, Omnia HD, and a few more.
The only thing similar is the name and manufacture.
They also vary by country and phone system.

SO....
What I'm trying to say is before you start flashing Rom's and what make sure the rom fits.
