Root [AT&T] [ROM] [2014-03-01] [4.4.2] Tempest (OmniROM) [KVT49L] (SplitView) (Linaro)

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 or Tegra 3 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:
-None atm

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-m7att-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.
If you use another GApps package that works, let me know/link it, and I'll update the OP with 2-3 potential packages.

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:
-Some GApps packages result in a missing camera

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

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE DIES, BREAKS, BRICKS, GLITCHES, EATS YOUR KITTENS, OR DEVOURS YOUR SOUL

I flashed this rom earlier and now I am stuck in the loading screen. Top of the screen says "please wait while Tempest is installed" and the the bottom of the screen says "Installing.. 0.00%" Below that there is a progress bar that keeps flashing back and forth. The phone has been doing this for 30 min or so. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
