OmniROM is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware, which is designed to increase performance, reliability and features over stock Android for your device.
OmniROM is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts.

First time installing OmniROM to your Xperia TX, or coming from another ROM:

- Reboot into Recovery
- Flash OmniROM zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

Issues:
1. Some camera settings such as ISO, HDR are missing. Can't be set even via 3rd-party apps.

To Kangers:
If you're going to reuse our work, which we're doing for free, be fair and give proper credits.
This is the only payment we're really demanding and we deserve it to be mentioned because of the countless hours we've put into this project.
Open Source doesn't mean Out of Respect!
