Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] OmniRom [4.4.2] Unofficial penguin builds

Shabbypenguin · Jan 12, 2014

OmniROM is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (Kitkat), which is designed to increase performance, reliability and features over stock Android for your device. It's also about options, which is the beauty of Android.

 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

i then also cherrypick a few things, not sure if these are still needed but it didnt hurt anything

, after running envsetup run this command to easily cherry pick em. please note this
"repopick 3197 3911 4748 4749 4750 4753 4984 5037 5073 5074 5075 5076 5077 5078 5079 5080 5081 5082 5083"

if you want multiwindow you need this commit https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1510/

when i get some time ill setup omni.dependencies properly so room service will take care of it all, but its a first step

confed · Jan 12, 2014

Shabby, should the instructions also include "flash SuperSU?" I didn't think it was included with this rom. My apologies if it is mentioned and I missed it.

Shabbypenguin · Jan 12, 2014

to be honest im not entirely certain, i have never used omni rom. my phone has a locked bootloader so i cant really tell if i wanted to

Jltorres91 · Jan 13, 2014

Why can't I activate multiwindow feature? how do I activate roadrunner mode? Also what are the features that separate this from cyanogenmod 11.00

Shabbypenguin · Jan 13, 2014

this doesnt have multiwindow yet, the feature is still very much a WIP and wasnt included in this build.

Jltorres91 · Jan 13, 2014

What about OmniROM features? Here are some of the key features of this new custom Android ROM:

Flippable Quick Settings
Roadrunner mode
Multi-window
Daydream enhancements
Integrated Performance Control
Multi-workspace
Color-changeable
3D depth Phase Beam

sounds like it, i am using slim roms bluetooth as im not entirely certain of how well omni's is up to par. a lot of media things are different than what most devices use but its because without using the modded stuff it wont boot at all then :/.

thatguy96 · Jan 14, 2014

I'm liking the ROM so far but does omni not have themes support?...

jpizle · Jan 14, 2014

How can I get stock messaging app? I friggin hate hangouts!

Shabbypenguin · Jan 14, 2014

unfortunately the aosp messenger has been deemed dead and hangouts is its replacement. 4.4 and on will have that as the one included in most roms.

jpizle · Jan 14, 2014

I got it! Pulled it from another ROM. Thank God for Google

Is there anything that could be done to d2mtr source so hangouts will send MMS?
