Welcome to Asylum Omni 4.4.2, a small, fast, blacked-out and smooth Rom. This Asylum edition is lighter than the official OmniRom.
What does Asylum Omni have to offer?
Unnecessary apps are chucked out.
Settings, keyboard, clock, phone, InCallUI, messaging, contacts, SystemUI and framework blacked out, no official AOSP grey
UI tweaks
Ad blocking hosts
Good battery life
Speed and smoothness
Addon.d scripts for backing up your custom DPI, softkeys and restoring them even after a full wipe and flash
Cherry picks of good unmerged Omni stuff
Completely bonkers community
No 23 lockscreens, sorry

How often will the Rom be updated?
Whenever there are some good merges to source or bug fixes a build will be published. On a longer side it will be a weekly build, but more often than ever you can expect a build sooner than that.
How do I flash it?
You must be on a compliant recovery. To pen down my experience, latest TWRP works best with this roma for me.[/URL]!
If coming from previous Asylum Omni 4.4.2 or official Omni 4.4.2 and you want to do a dirty install:
1. boot into recovery
2. flash the Rom
3. flash the latest SuperSU
4. reboob
If coming from previous Asylum Omni 4.4.2 and you'd like a clean flash:
1. boot into recovery
2. do a full wife
3. flash the Rom
4. flash the latest SuperSU
5. reboob
If coming from anywhere else:
1. copy Gapps, SuperSU and Asylum Omni Zips to your SDCard
3. reboob into Recovery
4. Wipe data and dalvik cache
7. flash Asylum Omni zip
8. flash Gapps zip
9. flash SuperSU
10. reboob
11. Don't restore system stuff or apps + data using Titanium, it might cause issues
