Hey,
This ROM is a complete Omni build with the addition of the experimental and unfinished Multi-Window feature.
It is also my very first Android build so don't expect everything to work and don't blame me if youe device breaks.
However I've been running this ROM for a few hours and so far everything seems to work,
except from a few bugs with Multi-Window.

Keep in mind this ROM is for the 2012 version of the Nexus 7 3G only

Instructions

- Do a Nandroid Backup
- Flash ROM
- Flash Gapps
- Flash SuperSU

If you are coming from earlier Omni builds no wipe should be required.
The build should be on par with official nightlies from 8th or 9th December.
If you are coming from a newer nightly make extra sure you do a Nandroid backup, even though it should be fine.

Hello,

Hello,

Hey, Until now it is for the 3G version (Tilapia) only, i don't know what will happen if you flash it to a wifi version (Grouper) but I would strongly advise you NOT to do so.
If there is Interest I might look into preparing builds for the Wifi version as well.





I also released a new Update with sources from 15 December and
Multi-Window updated to PatchSet 13

Then, you should better give some info about 'only 3g' in first message, cause it could be dangerous:cyclops:

I'll add it, but if one has a wifi device one shouldn't be looking for ROMs in the 3G Forums in the first place.
Thanks for letting me know.

I am not sure if I can help you and I am a little confused. Did you flash this Rom and a sms/tether mod onto your wifi Nexus 7?
You shouldn't have, as this Rom is for tilapia only.
Also the mod said it's intended for stock roms.
My device is running fine with the dec 15. Build so I guess it's a problem in combination with the mod you installed, especially considering that other users in that thread complain about boot issues / bootloops. I suggest you boot into recovery and restore your nanda nandroid backup and/or search help with other users of the mod you installed.

I have tilapia, don't worry about it.
If you can, please, can you investigate what's wrong there, because i can not use your rom without sms

As I already wrote, I won't be able to help you with this.
The thread mentioned that the mod is supposed to be applied on stock based roms.
The reason for this seems to be that it includes a modified framework that is applied with the mod.
Omni Rom has a heavily modified framework and the multi window feature in this Rom modifies the framework even further.
So what you're doing by flashing the mod onto this Rom is adding incompatible files to your Rom that are vital for it to run, leading to your problems.

I fear the only way you could enjoy both would be to convince the dev of the mod to make a version specific to this Rom, which I wouldn't count on since this only an unpopular modified version of another custom Rom

Yes, it is for 2012 3G and 3G only

Hmm the force closes are suprising. Have you made sure you've got a 4.4 Gapps package? Did you do a clean install? If not i suggest you try a clean install and restore your apps with TitaniumBackup. I had no trouble doing a dirty flash but there is always a possibility of complications.

As to the clock and time issue I honestly have no clue. Seeing you're from malaysia, is your language set to Bahasa Melayu or english? have you tried switching language and do the issues persist? Maybe there is a trouble with the different charset

Yes i flashed the GAs,but i didn't make a factory reset.My data will be lost isn't it ?

And yes i'm from Malaysia but i'm Chinese,but i still use English,always & always.

Btw i switched back the stock 4.4.1

Will try again when i got free time.

Yes, a factory reset will clear your data. However if you use titanium backup Oi can restore apps and their saved data after you flashed a new room. All you have to do is add your accounts again. And if there is something you're still missing you can completely revert to your nandroid backup, provided you made one
