Go to Settings->Performance->Click on Advance settings gives FC when default drawer tab is used and works fine when toggled to swipe tab.
This is no big deal but just wanted to report in case you don't know and will also help improve your next release.

PS-Can't use DevDB as I am on tapatalk.

Sounds like a bug with Omni and not really the port, the general Omni bugtracker is here: http://jira.omnirom.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa.

About DevDB, you can open the browser version of this page and access DevDB that way (sorry if I state the obvious :p).

Hey guys,
school has started again (had one week of vacation) here. I will therefore have to spend more time in studying and so on...
Though, I don't want to abandon this project, so I can start to compile automated builds (which will be uploaded to goo.im weekly). These builds will only contain upstream changes made by the Omni team. I hope you are OK with that... :)
