Root [ROM] [2014-05-25] [4.4.2] Tempest (OmniROM) [KVT49L] (SplitView) (Linaro)

[dibblebill]

Based on OmniROM (Home - Omni)

This is a ROM put together from source code and closed-source apps by myself, with scripting for AROMA by me, and contributions to init.d scripting by 3DSammy. It utilizes the stock AOSP Kernel provided via OmniROM.

Features:
-OmniROM! (Split View, Quick Settings flipping tiles, screen recording, GUI translucency)
-CM Calculator
-init.d preservation and support
-AROMA with settings preservation!
-Built with the Linaro 4.7 toolchain!

Tempest Extras:
-ViPER4Android preinstalled (just open it and install the A15/NEON drivers)
-Titanium Backup preinstalled
-SELinux Switcher preinstalled
-Choice of UDN or LMT, with a NavBar build.prop mod option
-Choice to preinstall SuperSU
-Choice of Launcher2 and Launcher3 (Launcher3 has a dependency on Google Search)

Screen Recording (as tested on Manta):
SCR_20131120_111710.mp4 - YouTube
SCR_20131120_111746.mp4 - YouTube


Planned Features:
-Additional over/underclocking options

If you have feature requests, put them in with the knowledge that I MAY NOT be able to implement them yet.

Latest Version: omni-4.4-20140301-manta-TEMPEST.zip
OLD BUILDS: Last Version: omni-4.4-20131121-manta-TEMPEST.zip

GApps Packages:
I personally endorse and recommend Famigo's Gapps package. All builds are installed and tested using the famigo_gapps-4.4.x-v6.3.zip, by me.
Other packages that are reported as working:
"Slim" SlimKat GApps Package - Reported as working
ThunderKats GApps Package - Reported as working well. MAY result in a missing Camera/Gallery

Installation:
If coming from another ROM, recommend a factory reset. The update script auto-wipes /system.
1) Wipe cache/dalvik
2) Install zip
3) Install GApps (4.4) package of choice, and anything else you want to install
4) Wipe cache/dalvik
5) If SuperSU install was declined, flash your superuser

Known Issues:
-Music Effects FC is under investigation. I have the cause pinned down but haven't been able to fix it yet
-Some GApps packages result in a missing camera

Works:
-Everything not mentioned above (Split View/Multi Window is temperamental, but it works)

Seeing as they have no Nexus 10 4.4 kernel source in their Github, I don't see hte relevance to OmniROM. Perhaps you could clarify, since this doesn't help me build a 4.4 version of my ROM (which I'm waiting to do until I get the files I need from Google)?

 

[tanware]

I know not omni ROM but figured it might be nice to look at. Especially since they are climbing nothing is broke where as with 4.4.1 stock ROM we will lose transparencies. If this is true I may be looking to root this and a full working omni would probably be the best choice for a 4.4.....

I think so as well. I am waiting for an official 4.4 kernel and driver set for the Nexus 10 before building. Current builds normally use the kernel/driver for 4.3, which breaks a lot of apps.

15th November Build
-Reset all repositories and code

[dibblebill]

16th November
-Added split view
-Boots if you install GApps in OP

 

[tanware]

Did you fix launcher3?

 

[dibblebill]

Did you fix launcher3?

Launcher3 appears to require some component found in the linked GApps package. A custom Launcher should work if it is sideloaded. I believe that the required component is Google Search.

 

[tanware]

Ok, I think I saw somewhere on one of the earlier 4.4 custom ROM's Google Search had to be updated............

The Search in the OP's GApps package works fine.

I'm considering re-adding Launcher2 so people can choose that if they don't want the GApps packages.

 

[dibblebill]

17th November
-Added a second launcher that isn't dependent on Google Search (Launcher2)
-Added Viper4Android audio effects
-Updated code
-Preserves init.d scripts between updates
-Currently, Settings will crash if you go to the Sounds/Music Effects

Please let me know if the init.d preservation works, and if you have any issues. I keep getting a "Launcher has closed" error every few minutes with no other effects, so I'm working on pinning that down and killing it. I may re-implement Apex Launcher now that I've learned backup scripts as an alternative if I find out Launcher2/Launcher3 can't co-exist. I caution you, it may be a day or so.

I am working on solving both the Launcher and Settings issues, they're my current priority.

19th November
-Synced latest sources
-Removed Launcher2 (Launcher_No_Google) due to glitches/crashes, will seek another solution or fix for that one

[dibblebill]

BIGB IG BIG BIG BIG UPDATE
The download zip sits around 183MB, which is a bit hefty, but I feel that an extra 5-8MB to solve everyone's desires of installable options is worth it Let me know what you guys think! I'll be cleaning/improving the AROMA code now that I'm understanding it more. Tested and flashed on TWRP 2.6.3.1

21st November
-Latest Omni and Android sources
-Latest Manta proprietary binaries
-Made Viper4Android an external add-on (AROMA)
-Added Titanium Backup as part of the add-on package (AROMA)
-Added SELinux Switcher as part of the add-on package (AROMA)
-Added LMT Launcher and UDN as add-on packages (AROMA)
-Working init.d backup script

A HUGE thanks to 3DSammy who worked his arse off to get a working init.d backup script. It has some kinks (it will overwrite any of your scripts that share a name w/ system scripts) but it works.
