If you cant read the OP then maybe you should not be flashing custom roms.

First time installing OmniROM to your HTC Pico, or coming from another ROM:

Read known issues and FAQs
Copy GApps, SuperSU, and OmniROM ZIPs to your SDCard
Boot into Recovery (this ROM uses the aw3som3 recovery. You need to have atleast *one* ext4 partition on your SDCard before flashing this ROM!)
Flash the superwipe.zip from here, or DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
Flash OmniROM zip from SDCard
Flash GApps zip from SDCard
Flash SuperSU flashable ZIP
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
Boot into Recovery
Flash the OmniROM zip from SDCard
As the flashing wipes the /system partition, reflash Gapps, and SuperSU
Reboot

video playback should work. video recording will NOT. you could call me lazy, but I ain't even going to try fix video recording. period.

Workaround?

install tubemate for youtube and other video sites

install mxplayer

Go to MXPlayer -> Settings -> Decoder -> Software Decoder -> (S/W decoder(local)) : check; (S/W decoder(network)) : check;

Go to MXPlayer -> Settings -> List -> File extensions -> Add -> MP3, FLAC, etc. (for music)

It's entirely possible that features not used by me are broken, but overall the device should be usable. You have been warned.

an int2ext flashable zip compatible with pico has been attached to post #5 for convenience.

Build 6 Changelog : 16 FEB 2014:

Latest upstream changes (KVT49L)

Note: The new bootanimation isn't included in this build because it gives some very nasty OOM errors, causing phone to not boot. So, reverted back to old bootanim. Will work fine on resizing.

One bug fix, (the controls not showing in video player (in h/w acceleration mode))

option to revert back to classic webview (though we still using chromium) (open up build.prop and change "persist.webview.provider" from "chromium" to "classic")

Build 5 Changelog : 13 FEB 2014:

Fixed Camera (video recording's derped for now. metadata's disabled, but this time, its some kind of codec error, non support for legacy)

Downloads:

Gapps:

Note: The new awesom3 partition table layout gives around 441 mB free in /system. In the most extreme cases, the ROM doesn't exceed 300 mB (on extraction, for now.), and so, you have ~140 mB free for G-Apps. You can get a bigger "micro" G-Apps package.Now, its a 128 mB userdata. So, you don't have enough space for GApps. Find a suitable gapps package to add here.

Misc.

SuperWipe: When installing a new ROM, it is usually better to do a factory reset. In case you like to live dangerously, and spam threads with its consequences, stop reading this now.

So, made some modifications to the existing superwipe.zip, adding support for:

inbuilt journaling disabling (assuming you have an ext4 file system)
inbuilt NAND recovery

Download: View attachment superwipe_v0.5.zip

Note: A factory reset would work just as fine

================================================================================

int2ext4: for increasing memory! just flash given zip. reboot. ta da!

SIM Card isn't detected, sort of...

So, no calling

Good news is: figured out where to start to fix it

galaxyfreak · Dec 28, 2013

To fix RIL you need:

https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1237/
https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1261/
https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1426/

To fix camera initialization apply this https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_skia/commit/52f260df6a4dabddb037e54ccf5c92b1f7401399
