What is Omni Rom?

A new Android custom rom has been announced at the BABBQ (Big Android BBQ) by @XpLoDWilD, @Chainfire, @Dees_Troy & Team. For more information go to omni rom's site: http://omnirom.org/

Root has not been merged into OmniRom yet, so please flash the Super SU zip in recovery if you want root. FYI, only unofficial builds include the experimental and unfinished Multi-Window feature.

Code:
#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * cyber warfare, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device.
 * If you dont like this rom, Stay away from this thread! 
 */

How to Build this ROM with MultiWIndow

1) Setup Your Computer
Stop at
Code:
$ mkdir ~/android
$ cd ~/android
2) Download Source and Compile!
Code:
$ mkdir Omni4.4
$ cd Omni4.4
$ repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-4.4
$ mkdir .repo/local_manifests
$ curl https://gist.github.com/ryukiri/8309070 > .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
$ repo sync
$ cd frameworks/base
$ git fetch https://gerrit.omnirom.org/android_frameworks_base refs/changes/10/1510/17 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
$ cd ../..
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch n5110
3) Wait till it finishes and grab the zip from the out directory.

*Note: Syncing the repo will take a long time (downloads about 15 gbs of source), depending on your internet speed.
**You shouldn't get any cherry-pick conflicts when adding in multi-window. If you do, simply resolve them or wait for a fix.

It works fine, I just came up with the screen rotation glitch, the same bug that the CM 11.0 for GT-N5110 had before (has been fixed). I haven't came up with anything else yet.

I don't really have anything to add, IR blaster works, s pen works, multiwindow has some problems but it's in beta

I think the rotation glitch is in the frameworks, not the device tree.. so give it some time and it should be fixed. Since its a relatively minor issue, I'll work on getting us official support first before I go see what exactly is wrong with the rotation.

Hmm, did you do a clean flash? I'm using active display and it looks fine to me. Nothing unusual is going on.

I am using this rom and it is all working fine. The previous bugs was fixed (thanks!) but I still have the rotation glitch when locking the screen.

When pressing the lock button, the screen rotates and gets locked. It is really fast, but I can see. Other bug I have it is when I try to uninstall a app using the tablet in landscape mode, I get this:




The icon for uninstall and info appears to be cuted.

Thanks for your work!

The homescreen bugs, ie the 7th Dock icon missing and cut off stuff is a Google experience launcher bug, not anything that can be fixed until Google releases and updated Google search apk
