Great to see the first non-CM KK ROM. This phone's development has finally kickstarted properly.

@rex28818 You should really go to the CM11 thread and endlessly thank @h1gh1 for his incredible work.

[maniknarang]

Okay, @h1gh1 and @kirmaniarslan have done a great job releasing CM11. They have made the sources and all the github related changes/commits. Following their CM11 release, and after getting a clean chit to post and release other ROMs, I am now releasing OMNI ROM.
The ROM boots up pretty well.
Check OP for what's working and what's not.
THE ROM IS STILL IN BETA STAGE, SO EXPECT A FEW BUGS!
SCREENSHOTS ADDED!

 

[h1gh1]

Bluetooth is working in CM11...

 

[maniknarang]

Bluetooth is working in CM11...

Yes. I actually used the VERY OLD device tree without those commits. So, would fix bluetooth in a few days in the next Beta version.

Answering your questions:
Yes, you need to change your recovery from CWM to TWRP because TWRP has SELinux support.

You would be able to call, message, use 2G/3G, listen to music(via any app) etc. WiFi, BT, and camera would be fixed as soon as the real workers- h1gh1 and Kirmaniarslan fix it.
You can try it-just a new flavour and stay tuned for it to be fixed properly.
Also, the download link works pretty well. It is a dev-host link. http://d-h.st/2Rb
Try re-opening.

More to come, stay tuned and ENJOY!
