Thank you bonuzzz and Valera1978. This OmniROM directly built from source is out of the box the smoothest and reactive ROM I've seen on the T-900. I have been fortunate to run this version in alpha and beta over the past 4 or 5 days and I have not seen any extraordinary issues with the release.
Note for v.2 -
Be very patient in flashing v2, from that system format starts in TWRP until extraction kicks in there's currently a delay of up to 3 minutes
Just as under the SM-P900 cm11 tread, I have performed some functionality testing of the device and some extra features, they are shown below as
working,
not working or
not tested. The functionality grid was developed based on weaknesses in earlier AOSP builds and ports for the large format Samsung Tab/Note Pro family:
-
mtp -
to activate go to Settings/About tablet/ and tap 8 times on Build number - The menu will now have Settings/{ } Developer options/ activated. Check mark USB debugging notify.
-
adb
-
External SD - working out of the box
-
Ext4 SD card mounting on external SD - Auto-mount does not work, tested on Sandisk 128Gb SD
-
USB OTG including USB storage
-
Off-mode charging
-
Encryption tested on backup restore in TWRP 2.8.1.1 restore failed in data, but must be related to a TWRP error Encryption process in ROM takes about an hour to perform, if someone is interested in performing the test and report back it would be great, but theoretically it should work.

The following are standard limitations and options for OmniROM:
Write access to your external SD-card works out of the box, but just in case i suggest to d/l JRummy's
SD KitKat Fixer
init.d support also works out of the box, otherwise d/l
Uni-init by Ryuinferno.
If you think to much heat is building up use Performance/Governor set to ondemand, or conservative and I/O Schedduler to bfq, in addition to increase battery time you can set Wi-Fi/Advanced/Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep/ to Only when plugged in and make sure the Wi-Fi/Advanced/Wi-Fi optimization/ is checked and reduce Display/Sleep/ to below 1 minute. You can also use some apps to improve battery eg
Easy Battery Saver, or the more sophisticated
AutoCon+ Save Battery & Data and and to put hanging apps to hibernation
Greenify that I believe require
Xposed Installer. To improve charging time, you can use an app eg
Faster Charger. Finally, I have also used
PurePerformances in order to further improve the performances and
VIPER4AndroidFX to allow for louder speaker sound and enhanced listening experience.
