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.

Code: 
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * 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.
 */

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 :P
 
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.
 
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 :P
 
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

I install the first release all work really good but when try to use Google music with Bluetooth headset the app crashed and the Bluetooth don't work more I need to paired again try a second time and the same problem app crashed and Bluetooth headset don't work so reinstall my back-up (metropolis),today I try the new release with multiview and I have the same problem with my Bluetooth headset but now was with you tube app (yesterday don't use you tube) then I try with a headset with cable and was the same problem when I use the phone speaker all is good the problem is when try to connect headset the app crashed (you tube,Google music,mobo player,twc app) i make the factory reset immediately after install the Rom ,gapps and super su so I think is something in the rom

Click to expand...

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 :/.
 
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.
