Usually apart from different tweaks, most ROMs are pretty much the same so I tend not to comment much, but ive got to say, this ROM is by far the best one ive come across for the note in all the time ive had my note.

No lag, all the right features and everything just works. Good work :good:

Thanks! I feel like you should probably use the official nightlies if you aren't since this is kind of old, but I should point out that most of this is just due to the fact that Omni is a fairly close to stock Kitkat ROM so there's not much to detract from the experience. Although if you're comparing to Touchwiz ROMs then that's probably why, Touchwiz sucks :p

By the way, TWRP 2.7 is out for Note 10.1, get it here.

Cheers, I was keeping away from nightlies as I use this for work. Is the latest nightly stable?

It should be. To be honest I don't use nightlies often because I tend to use something I've built myself to test something out, but Omni really doesn't have a crazy amount of activity going on most of the time. You can just download a nightly and not upgrade often if you don't want to.

I can say as someone who uses the note 10.1 for work and kids (one very finicky 5 year old) that nightlies are definitely stable. The only things I've seen make omni less stable are the multi window (still experimental) and some xposed modules.

Do we have a newer build than the 3/02 one? I would love to go over to the nightlies but want to retain multiwindow...unless there is a way to incorporate it into the nightlies

Is work still being done to get multi window up and running? Is it already? If so which nightly? If not no worries, this ROM is awesome.

Samsung Docking station issue

Hi there, just installed this ROM after losing patience with stock.
Have to say very impressed everything works like a dream and is lightening fast compared with laggy stock!
The only issue I have is with Samsung docking station...with stock it would sit there and happily charge away, now it just crashes the device!?
Even if the there is no power to the docking station it still freezes and crashes!?
Anyone having the same issue or has a fix.
Thanks in advance.

can anyone have the 16GB N8013 (or N8000) please upload a partial system dump by flashing this zip in recovery? This zip will create a partial system dump in img format on the SD card and I just need that img file The OmniROM works great but when I tried to flash the Samsung Kitkat leaked rom afterwards, the partition table screwed up, odin won't accept new pit,now I need a system dump to de-brick.. Link to zip:. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2541934&d=1390816900

Here you go: http://goo.gl/a3PBk3 - the file is too big to upload directly to XDA

It's for the an N8010 running the official OMNI nightlies - I understand that apart from the descriptor the system configuration is identical to the N8013 and so should be OK for you needs.

Cheers

    Announcements

    Discuss the official nightlies here! Also, TheMorpheus has taken over building and distributing N8000 unofficial builds, so go to his thread for more up to date builds!

    Disclaimer

    Standard disclaimer applies, your warranty is void, this may eat your dog or burn your house down, delete all your pictures, etc.

    Instructions

    0. You need a recovery that supports SELinux. I'm told that recent versions of CWM support it, but I haven't tried them myself. So if you aren't on the latest CWM (in particular, if you're on the last version of TWRP officially released for this device) you will need to flash a newer recovery. For best results, use my TWRP 2.6.3.x builds (other recoveries may not be compatible with delta updates for official nightlies).

    If you want to flash my recovery, download the recovery.img and flash it using ODIN or Mobile ODIN. You can also use Recovery Tools to flash it from your device

    1. Flash the ROM.

    2. Flash SuperSU if you want root (it's not yet included in the ROM). I have not tried any other Superuser apps but SuperSU is supposed to be incorporated into Omni eventually. Important: you may need to install a backup script using SuperSU to persist it across flashes - see the settings in SuperSU for that.

    3. Flash Kitkat/4.4 compatible Gapps (PA has some that work with this ROM).

    1-3 can be queued in TWRP.

    4. If coming from a different ROM wipe data/factory reset, otherwise you probably won't boot

    Downloads
    TWRP 2.6.3.1 (unofficial version; the 4th digit is basically just for device specific changes). Use Flashify, Mobile Odin, or Recovery Tools to flash .img files.
    twrp-2.6.3.1-n8000.img
    twrp-2.6.3.1-n8013.img
    ODIN flashable tars:
    twrp-2.6.3.1-n8000.tar.md5
    twrp-2.6.3.1-n8013.tar.md5
    You must flash this (or other 4.4 compatible recovery) if you're on the official TWRP 2.6.3.0 or other outdated recoveries, if you get an error about set_metadata_recursive when flashing

    Alright, did some new builds and uploaded to XDA again. Not a whole lot has been changing on the features front, but it's been a long time since I've uploaded a build so there might be some interesting stuff. Don't remember if Quiet Hours was in before, some other stuff relating to QS tile fixes maybe. Most feature changes are at least partly in frameworks_base or Settings or OmniGears, so you can browse Gerrit if you're curious. A lot of stuff is still WIP. The screen glitch patch was merged yesterday so right now we just need to finalize the n8013->n801x rename patch and then we can get the ball rolling with nightlies. Nightlies won't have Multiwindow until it's finished though, just FYI.

    Edit: Oh yeah, a bunch of exFAT stuff was merged last week, so it might be worth testing that again. I'm actually supposed to get a 64GB microSD today so I'll check that out too.

    New builds for the week. Also, some kernel stuff got merged again so hopefully nightlies are just a tiny step closer. We may try to do a thing where the n801x build sets the device name to the actual device during boot, which realistically doesn't actually matter but it's just a nice thing to do I suppose. The more useful part would be for recovery so that one recovery can support both devices and accurately identify as the correct device, but again since they're compatible it's not really effectively any different. But yeah, good to have things correct :)

    Also, keyboard dock hack should be re-enabled in these builds, so keyboard dock users, get to typing, or something. I'll appreciate it if someone with the dock can give me a dmesg log. Easiest way is to download this Syslog app and save the Kernel log (might as well go for both Kernel and Main while you're at it).

    I think there have been some tweaks to OmniSwitch, beyond that I'm not sure what else has happened in the past week.

    Known Issues

    See bug reports at http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=1828#bugReporter

    Experimental stuff
    • Multiwindow, to me, is the one of the most exciting features of OmniROM, but it is a work in progress and not completed yet. I will be doing builds with MultiWindow, but currently it does not function well yet - no bug reports on this please, but feel free to discuss it here.

    Building instructions

    For n801x, the repos are now on omnirom so you can just repo sync the omnirom tree and then brunch n801x. You'll need to cherry pick kernel fixes though.

    For n8000, here's my local_manifests.xml

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <manifest>
      <project path="device/samsung/n8013" name="ibrahima/android_device_samsung_n8013" remote="github" revision="android-4.4" />
      <project path="device/samsung/n8000" name="ibrahima/android_device_samsung_n8000" remote="github" revision="android-4.4" />

    OK, here's some new builds, now with Omniswitch. Also, for keyboard dock folks, I forgot to re-enable the keyboard dock driver, so sorry about that. I'm really busy today but maybe tomorrow I'll try and put up a build with it enabled.
