Thanks for the ROM. It's smoother than most of the other ROMs I tried. I can't install Instagram for some reason, it says its not compatible on the play store. Apk for it works fine though.

Update your Gapps package to the latest version for ARM. That might fix that problem.

New build is up! Should have taken care of the NFC issue.

I don't see the new build. Still shows Oct. 11th upload date. And all mirrors show the 20181010 build?
I prob won't flash it since I don't use NFC. And EVERYTHING is working perfectly!

Always been a fan of OmniROM, glad to see it made it's way to the Shamu. Nice work!

Any screenshot?

My cell data works amazingly with this ROM! I can send MMS in seconds. And it shows LTE on the signal bar. Haven't seen that in while.
It was horrible on pie. I missed an important text yesterday on pie. That was the last straw!
I am on Tello which uses Sprint.
