OmniROM is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance, reliability and features over stock Android for your device.

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.
 */

OmniROM is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.

All the source code for OmniROM is available in the OmniROM Github repo.


We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
- are running a custom kernel

- modified system files
- didn't follow our intructions word by word

Even if you tell us that your problem is not related to your custom kernel /mod / magic => WE DON'T CARE!
Your mod => your problem!


Official OmniROM Wiki:

First time installing OmniROM to your Xperia T, or coming from another ROM:
- Read known issues and FAQs
- Copy GApps and OmniROM ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash OmniROM zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

Upgrading from earlier version of OmniROM:
- Copy the OmniROM ZIP to your SDCard

Issues:
AFAIK none at all

Everything seems to be running smoothly, even without full wiping from CM 10.2. Unfortunately, it seems that the OmniROM features haven't been included in this series of nightly builds, so I'll probably hold until they are merged.

Good work, @tilal6991!!!

Fantastic work @tilal6991!

Just flashed and had a little play. So far so good. Alas, I'm up for work in 5 hours so I need to sleep. Will use fully tomorrow and will report back.

Again, nice one.

for any reason I am always stuck on boot after flashing...I followed instructions in OP precisely of course...feel a little noobish :silly:

EDIT: ok, got it workin now...that's what I did (maybe useful for others in same situation):

- flashed OMNIRom 4.3 first
- booted in Recovery
- flashed OMNIROM 4.4
- Full Wipe
- reboot
- booting back in Recovery
- flashing Gapps
- reboot

fyi, I was coming from latest MIUI

First of all, thanks tilal for your great work!

Not any major issue so far. Sound seems a bit laggy though. I also got 2 blue screens.

    Finally managed to get the new Adreno blobs working on 4.4 - took a while but we're finally on relatively recent blobs.

    Should be the final build from me before nightlies start with the new kernel - I'll start them as soon as you guys confirm that nothing additionally broke.

    In this version:
    GPS/Location Services in general fixed
    Deep sleep fixed
    (Edit) Audio speaker whistle fixed
    (Edit) ALS (auto brightness) fixed
    Updated Omni sources

    Enjoy :)

    New build is up. See first and second posts for details.

    As for nightlies - there is no technical reason we can not have them yet - it is purely the fact that we're using MORE up-to-date repos than everyone else - these will be merged into mainline branch soon so we should have nightlies as soon as that happens.
