**[KitKat][4.4.1][Omni]Team Asylum Omni 4.4.1 Naughties™ - Slim, Fast and Black Rum™**

Welcome to Asylum Omni 4.4.1, 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, calendar, Apollo, DSp Manager, SystemUI and framework blacked out, no official AOSP grey
UI tweaks
Ad blocking hosts
Custom Asylum wallpaper app which gives you access to over 300 black and gray weird wallpapers (thanks, Bangsti)
Good battery life
Speed and smoothness
Cherry picks of good unmerged Omni stuff


What does Asylum Omni 4.4.1 look and feel like:












Team Asylum

antiochasylum, Rom creator, a nice guy and a genuine Texan straight shooter
chasmodo, bad tempered, caustic and grouchy n7000, Xperia Z, grouper and mako Jenkins
Jack The Ripper, our Linux scripting genius, a proper English gentleman with a penchant for getting kicked out of clubs
Sunny2303, well spoken, gentle and generous n7100 (and variants), Find5 and Flo 2013 Jenkins
bangsti, the kindest man on God's Earth, LG Jenkins
Moepda, another genuine and ubiquitous English gentleman with a kind word for everyone

How often will the Rom be updated?

Daily.


How do I flash it?

Your device must have unlocked bootloader!


If coming from previous Asylum Omni 4.4.1 or official Omni 4.4.1 and you want to do a dirty install:

1. boot into recovery
2. flash the Rom
3. flash the latest SuperSU
4. flash Gapps
5. reboob


If coming from previous Asylum Omni 4.4.1 or official Omni 4.4.1 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. flash Gapps
6. reboob


If coming from anywhere else:
1. install a SELinux compliant recovery first, otherwise you'll get Status 7 error and abort when you try to flash. I'd strongly advise TWRP 2.6.3.0 or newer.
2. copy Gapps, SuperSU and Asylum Omni Zips to your SDCard
3. extract the kernel (boot.img) from the Asylum zip and fastboot flash it on your phone
4. reboob into Recovery
5. wipe data and dalvik cache
6. flash Asylum Omni zip
7. flash Gapps zip
8. flash SuperSU
9. reboob
10. Don't restore system stuff or apps + data using Titanium, it might cause Settings to keep FCing on you and other issues.
Also, don't use any custom addon.d scripts - again, Settings FC problem



Downloads:






removed-apks-flashabe.zip

at Goo.im

Removed-apks-flashable.zip contains the following:

Apollo
DSP Manager
Email
Exchange
Launcher3
LiveWallpapers
LiveWallpapersPicker
Photo Table
SoundRecorder
VideoEditor
VoiceDialer

Launch the zip, go to /system/app, delete the apps you don't need and flash in recovery.




What is not working:

Video recording - Camera FCs
There may be SELinux related problems - PrayStore cannot install certain apps, or apps cannot be moved to SD card
Lockscreen sometimes lights up for no apparent reason, just leave it and it will time out



Special thanks goes to:

OmniRom team, obviously.
Entropy for sticking with us through thick and thin, a million thanks for that
GeeckoDev for his wunderbar kernel work
Utacak™ for being there in the moments of dire compiling need
Milady for being ever so nice to me and everybody
