gapps are never included in my roms, so just download the latest lollipop gapps and flash it

Gapps are not included - I'm just downloading the latest PA gapps and will give that a go.

Installed fine and seems really good so far. Certainly quick and smooth.

@OP, whats does OmniSwitch do??

Which gapps to use? Latest PA gapps I can find fails to flash - wrong Android version

 

[cell2011]

Im trying to find stock core gapps for 5.1. I tried to google this cant find? It would be nice to have the new updated apps for 5.1 or a dump or some sort of apks

Did you have to manually re root your tab? I do

omnirom doesnt come with root by default, maybe because of security issues. so just download the latest superSU.zip and flash in recovery for root access

 

[cell2011]

Ty yes that worked and gapps from lp 2014 seem to work too. I notice need to download all new apks for 5.1. But this rom is super smooth no fc`s and ive tried them all on here. I noticed downloading apps much faster and performance better than 5.0 and of course KK.

 

[cell2011]

Dont try xposed on 5.1 wont work and maybe FC on gapps if you do. This is 5.1 cause sdk in flashing xposed says 22 and looking for 21

Hey! You been putting in some work, faZevoLv. I would love to flash this, but I don't know how to restore apps and data for multi user. I share this with my wife and it got to be running okay (all her apps) at least.

Don't use the pa gapps; the packages are rejected as being only for 5.0 if you attempt to flash their zips in TWRP. I used the most recent package linked to by Hashcode's Lollipop thread: d-h.st/RLt9 -- I gather that many of the individual apps are being rejected as not compatible (because only a relative few are shown as being "optimized"), but together with the SuperSU update 2.46 at download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip , I have what seems to be a stable, crisp, rooted Lollipop Kindle. No extended desktop support, I see. As noted in other ROMs on other devices, changing the CPU governor doesn't work; it wants to be interactive. Antutu score after overclocking to 1.632GHz and loaded down with many apps: 18,488.

I have put a link to the lollipop gapps I use along with superSU which can both be flashed in recovery and work fine for me. I can't understand why it wants to stay as interactive governor, I've only just noticed this and will find out.
As long as omnirom keep updating their sources, I will keep updating this ROM, and as you can tell my kernel is included by default in this ROM and that too will be updated when I get a chance.
Also I see sabermod have done some work on parts of omnirom, just like I made my liquid smooth ROM fast, I will use sabermod tweaks to make this ROM fast and less buggy as possible

Can you add a link in the op to the dl page? I'm not trying to be a pita, but tapatalk won't access the dl menu. Not a big deal to open a browser, but a link would be a nice shortcut.

Love your work, man. Thanks for keeping us on the cutting edge.
