​

Features:

• RIL (phone/SMS/3G)
• Multimedia: audio, video playing/recording

• Bluetooth
• Camera (Front and rear)

What doesn't work yet

• you tell me

Please note that F2FS and another features of the chrono kernel installer aren't supproted by a ROM.
To have them you need to install a standalone version of chrono kernel.

Here's how to do so: put the file omni_4.4.4.cpio.gz in a kernel, replacing a file osfiles/4.4.x/4.4.x.cpio.gz. Then flash it after ROM installation.

Download

OmniROM (KK)

Rooting

Since Omni ROM doesn't itself include root, you should install it manually.
Download it from chainfire's site and flash via recovery.

Installation

• install ROM first
• install gapps if needed (search another KK threads)
• install root

I'd like to ask something..
Is that ART runtime in this rom still considered as an experimental feature?
I mean I have used kitkat rom before, and switched to ART and apparently some apps like OALD doesn't work, but it works on lolipop rom which use ART as the default runtime

 

[greeceeeee]

Does it work only with chronokernel?

 

[manthes]

Omni support themes?

 

[ChronoMonochrome]

Omni support themes?

No, it doesn't support themes. Alternatively, you can install xposed + xthemer.
@greeceeeee, it likely won't work on kernels that use cm11 ramdisk.
@junnickbefore14, on 4.4.4 ART is still not fully working(not every app works).

Which recovery you're using? Try TWRP 2.8.6.0.

 

[happyrik]

Yes. OK with Twrp 2.8.6.0.

 

[ledjo]

I tried 2 times with twrp 2860, install successful but it's stuck on boot..
Edit: Now I installed Vanir and then Omni and it works

O.K. with TWRP 2.8.6.0 Installation works!!

 

[Culateralligator]

I've tried installing with chrono 2.24.7, TWRP 2.8.6 and Vanir, but I get error status 7. Also another user from Spanish forum tells me he tried all this and always gets stuck when installing.

 

[ledjo]

I just told how I installed it, Vanir is not installation step You did wipe everything before installing rom? It boots fine and all, the only annoying thing (for me) is missing torch..

Thanks. I did full wipes. I've tried with Vanir because that's my current rom.
A few days ago I was using CM11 Ace2Nutzer, and tried installing with same issue.

With Sergeyl's CM12.1 I had the same problem, but I installed Polish Vodka CM12 and then it let me install Sergeyl's.

And if you odin flash stock » kernel 2.24.7 » full wipe » vanir » kernel 2.24.7 » twrp 2.8.6 » full wipe » omni ?

Edit: I used 080115 Vanir rom version, btw, although I don't know if that's important..

I tried to install OmniRom yesterday via TWRP 2.8.6 and I had a nice brick which didn't let me boot to recovery. As I made Memory Repartitions, I had to Odin flash Russian GB and then JB stock...
Thanks again, but I need something easier, too many hours spent flashing yesterday. :good: Good to know you use 080115, I'll see if flashing this helps.
PS: My phone doesn't seem to get along with TWRP. With Sergeyl CM12.1 I had also a nice brick and had no chance but flashing GB-JB via Odin too. So I preffer using CWM.

 

[happyrik]

I had the same problem, I tried to install OmniRom via TWRP 2.8.6. Installation ok, but stuck on GTI 8160 logo and didn't let me boot to recovery.

After the restoration with Odin I also wanted to try TC omnirom and fine.

 

[nikolas1274]

I am taking error status 7 during flash, how we are fixing that?

 

[Culateralligator]

Finally I have installed Omni on my device.
1- Install Vanir
2- Omni 4.4.4 Teamcanija
3- Omni 4.4.4 Chrono
Wifi didn't work, I don't know why. Ace2Nutzer 8/11 kernel fixed WiFi.
I've tried installing Xposed, but I always get error message "your device is not compatible" or kind of.
Also screen bottons leds are always on. Maybe that's my fault cause I'm missing something as I've used the rom little time.

Generally speaking, I like this rom, smooth and fast (I can't tell about battery drain). Looking forward new rom update.
