Stupid question, but what is OmniROM and what does it mean for the end-user? I just saw a post from XDA on my Facebook feed, and it seems like kind of a big deal.

I've had an iPhone since about three months ago (because they were the only phones readily available to be bought used and without a contract), but have always kept up with Android. It doesn't seem like innovation stopped. What are we missing now? Cyanogenmod seems to be packed with innovative features, so does AOKP.
BTW, great signature.

I don't think any iPhone is in the works for omni at the moment
I felt what was missing was a team to implement ideas that have never been imagined by the average person, or have been thought of as to be "too difficult" to implement.
I feel this rom, and the team behind it, is the answer to this problem, which should open doors up in other teams, including cyanogenmod
And thanks

It WOULD be a feat to crack the iPhone's bootloader past the iPhone 3G and get Android booting on there, wouldn't it..?
So, the OmniROM will not just be another copy of another custom ROM? Now that it's being mentioned, I do feel like a lot of them just have the same features.Maybe that's why I'm not fully satisfied when I habitually flash new ROMS.

I work with someone who builds for the iPhone. I might get them to add omni support for it.
Omni is based on aosp (the stock source from google). From their patches are added to support an array of devices. Then new features are added. Seeing as it's a fairly new project (only been around 2 months), there aren't a lot of new features, however there are a few ones to note
They are adding true multi window support
The quick settings tiles are flipable
There see, so to be a new app called "OmniGears". I'm unsure about what exactly this will do, but it seems to contain rom specific settings
I hope this is enough to convince you this won't be a "copy of another rom"

Multi-window sounds awesome. It's one of two features, the other being Watch-on, that I found useful/interesting from TouchWiz. Now, all I need is a download link... I don't even care about bugs.

Asian phones implying mediatek based? There are a few commits in Gerrit to add support for them, but I think it's still not usable. They'll do their best

If you can get AOSP to run on your device, you should be able to get Omni to run. Currently, a device tree needs nothing significant beyond an AOSP tree (I think about 3 lines of changes to make an AOSP tree work in Omni). This means work on porting Omni is helpful to those wanting AOSP as well.

Mediatek chips will most likely end up supported. I understand that most projects eschew them through a lack of sources etc, but we intend to do what we can with them, as they offer interesting opportunities including multi-SIM support to say the least.

space is not a problem, a slim cm12 rom like SlimCM could have enough free space, and moving all posible apps to SD would help to, and ART would be good for a second life to our phone.
But, about the hardware limitations, there is maybe some way to use the 3.4 drivers with 3.10 kernels? And, I ask, did the 3.4 kernel initially support our devices?

KitKat was already developed for low end devices, as it only needs 512 MB RAM and has a low graphics mode. But Lollipop needs more process power for its animations and other new features. I know it's sad, but we all knew that this journey would come to an end one day.
But that's just my two cents, maybe someone will port L and it works good [emoji6]

We've had a good run though. Our galaxy S has had some incredible support from A LOT of incredible devs. In fact were still getting new ROMs and updates now even after all the years our phones have been about. I don't think that L will run smoothly, but most likely we will see L hitting our phones, and maybe some dev will find a way of getting this to run well on our phones. Devs seem to love a challenge. It's thanks to such great devs that I'm still using my S1 as my daily driver after 4 years even after changing phones once, not liking the upgrade, and coming back.

I usually just port Custom Rom's to devices. Not really port I guess, just have to change the device tree. Do a little bit of kernel stuff to.
I don't consider myself a dev, but I will be getting one of these, once the "Sand" version is available.
I am wondering how much more difficult everything is going to be between Lollipop/SELinux and 64-bit capability.
This will be my first Nexus device as well - closest I've had up to now is running GPE on my M8.

aren't we all
Im the same as you
time to learn how to hack a kernel
As the titles states, I've not seen HALO on any of the CM based or AOSP based rom's? That was a great little edition which really made the phone look cool, does anyone know if it's a simple add on or if it's even already been implemented into a ROM and i've just overlooked it?
I'm aware that there is an app which tries to emulate it but it's nowhere near as intuitive or as integrated.
Any thoughts on it or if it's even in the pipeline to be added to any of our ROMs?
Cheers.
EDIT: 50 views and no replies am i the only one who misses the HALO notifier? so bad
Ain't HALO dead long ago with the restructure (read: degeneration) of PA?
/RANT/
PA was once a nice ROM. Hybrid UI, PIE, HALO, all sorts of unique and original tricks, and open to features. Now they're just sticking close to AOSP and reluctant to even implement a shortcut in power menu.

I'm quite sad at this, I do miss Paranoid Android, they made some pretty decent ROMs, also dirty unicorns although apparently they do have a ROM, i just can't find it.
Do you think it'll never happen? We have AOSIP ?!??!
(Which for the record is a stella ROM)

On newer Android versions, Google is restricting the freedom of UI customization by unifying UI across devices and ROMs, so I don't see the chance for UI breakthroughs like HALO. Sure do hope some team can do it though.

Halo died a long time back, before PA even called it quits. For AOKP we have an unofficial build for our device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-aokp-angler-t3316837
And official:
https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/aokp/angler
Edit: I could have sworn someone mentioned AOKP, maybe not. You'll find DU at their G+ community.

Cheers mate, its a shame that.
There's been a few things like that, which have popped their heads up then went away again (CRT although you can get this one through xposed now)
Doesn't matter it's not something i need, it's was just a nice touch which for me made a little difference
Thanks again chaps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-aokp-angler-t3316837 Dirty unicorns How did i not see this? Was looking the other day.
EDIT: Came out two days ago. Classic.
Cheers.

I quite liked Halo while it was around too, one of the few customisations that I actually found useful.

We have the heads up which is ok but it's no Halo is it ?
More than certain i'll be flashing D.Unicorns, will see if they have any ways to add it but i'm pretty sure after whats been said here that it's probably gone for good.
Real shame.

Yea no signs of it. Maybe it'll surface on another device
I asked some of the PA dev's, haven't heard back and i doubt they'd do it..
Bad times

I miss both PA and SlimROMs. Really lost the itch to root and tinker since the official builds went caput for the devices I have had.

Definitely, would love to see them on this device. Has PA just quit or have they just changed device ? Forum ?

The PA team was disbanded when some of them went to work for one plus.
