KRT16M OMNI 4.4 for GEEB (E970/E971/E973)

chadouming · Nov 4, 2013

Hi, long ago i've started working on porting CyanogenMod to optimus G. Now i'm back on the move with omni. Omni rom is yet another open source alternative rom, but it has a lot more features. It is community driven, and everything goes through gerrit.

There is 3 versions of this rom. geeb, geespr, geehrc.

geeb is for E973, E971 and E970 (8mp camera)

geehrc is for E975 (13mp camera)

geespr is for sprint (13mp camera, CDMA)

Feel free to use my kernel that is under smoocha directory. If you have 13mp phone use geehrc else use geeb.

You will need to be rooted and bootloader unlocked to use this rom.

Here is the link for the rom : http://ribs.bbqdroid.org

Finally, here is a link for 4.4 gapps : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857

Gapps credit goes to BaNkS

This rom is based on Nexus 4 sources and modded for Optimus G.

Installation

You will need to use TWRP for this rom.

4.4 has new selinux asserts in recovery that are not compatible with certain recoveries. Please use the one provided by me.

To make this easy, i uploaded zip for recoveries that can be flashed in recovery.

http://ribs.bbqdroid.org/recoveries

1st time
1. Download the recovery, rom and gapps.
2. Put all the files on your INTERNAL sdcard.
3. Reboot in recovery.
4. Flash recovery and reboot again in recovery.
5. Flash rom and gapps.
6. If you are coming from another rom use the wipe button from main menu. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA.

1. Download updated rom and/or gapps.
2. Put the files on your sdcard.
3. Reboot in recovery.

Why do you need the mako recovery?

I am just curious, as to why I would need to flash the recovery for mako? I have never seen that in a ROM flashing instructions.

Edit: Installed the ROM, and it doesn't recognize my external SD, and have you not allowed the multi-screen from omni yet?

I have uploaded GAPPS to my own server with NetworkLocation from BaNks 4.3 GAPPS, i suppose he only forgot to push them in 4.4.

For the wifi, get me a dmesg and a logcat please.

We need to use mako recovery because 4.4 rom flashing involve selinux operation and therefore, the kernel in recovery needs to support selinux. Since our recovery tree is not updated, TWRP is not up-to-date and wont flash 4.4 roms. using mako is less pita and the only inconvenient is that it wont see external SD.

As for external SD, I think i have an idea why it is not working, I will take a look.

Keep in mind 4.4 is brand new and Omni devs had to rebase most of the repo. Stuff from 4.3 branches are slowly coming back to 4.4 .

I build with multi-window most of the time, but it's still a wip. To use it, long press home, long press an app and click add to split view. Do the same thing for the second app you want to see in multi-window. To go back to normal, long press home and tap the app you want to go back to.

chadouming · Nov 5, 2013

Updated november 5th build, any E970 user can test if external SD works ?
