The proposition sounds interesting but after spending many hours in customising my PAC, I am a bit hesitant to spend the same time again to repeat the process. Also the integrated pimp kernel in the PAC is a killer feature for me.
Although the weekend is comming so I might give it a try [emoji12]

P. S. I guess any late comer to our mature ROM market will face a slow uptake.

Hmmm, I really thought that there are many user exited to install OMNI ROM on their devices!!!
Finally omnirom for the z1c:highfive:
It would be awesome if you could frequently update changes from omni rom.

I've got a homemade omni rom from a developer called scanno on my Nexus10 and it has some really nice extra features like:
- Floating Window included
- App Circle sidebar included
- patch to OmniSwitch to start app in Float View
- Open notification in Float View
- Battery Saver included
- On The Go included
- Lockscreen notifications

Is it possible for you to integrate these features for the z1c?

Should I start compiling ROMs with Pimped kernel instead of stock one?? is that what you're saying!!

Hmmm,well if the developer has shared his sources, then probably yes I will,
but if he didn't, that means I should do all that work from the beginning, which require much more time and knowledge than I have...
so link me to your nexus10's omni thread you're talking about and I'll see.

@OmarEinea

Thanks for this awesome work buddy!
And also for sharing your sources.

Yesterday i forked your device tree and rhine from somebody else ( i don't remember his name i saw it in dependencies) and also took your blobs but ran across kernel error with your kernel (i took default branch once_again ) and even with omni's msm8974 for compiling DU, with and without linaro...
Any suggestion of branches/repo?

What! you mean mean you're trying to use this : https://github.com/OmarEinea/android_kernel_sony_msm8974-pimped
if so, then that is the problem, I have added some cherry peek changes to it from another repo,
and now it isn't possible to compile it due to many errors, my pimped kernel sources are corrupted now, I'll start over and fix everything soon,
so for now I suggest you use the stock CyanogenMod Kernel sources and see if the compilation is through without errors.

BTW, what a great news to here that you're making us Dirty Unicorns for Amami :victory:

Ok thanks bro will give a shot later on...
But u mean u using cm's kernel source to compile omni? Cuz DU is omni based thats why i tried to found a different branch of this kernel to get this work...
