Earlier, I have been compiling several ROMs for the galaxy tab (P7510/p4wifi) based on KitKat 4.4. I now decided to move over to OMNI ROM as base: http://omnirom.org/
The nice thing of OMNI in my personal opinion is smoothness: it is relatively low in features, but at the same time it is not that resource hungry as some other ROMs. The end result is a smooth ROM.
Changelog of 02-Jan-2014
-Omni codebase of 2-Jan
-Updated lockscreen notification - it can now be disabled without ending up with system UI FC (replacement for Active Display - not yet perfect, so do not post bugs - can be tuned in Settings>Security>Lockscreen Notifications)
-Improved Quiet Hours code
-Improved animation control settings
It features the Infamous kernel (same kernel as for JB4.3, without SELinux). The zram code has been optimized (based on google advice for low-RAM devices) and is enabled by default. To change the parameters, head over to /system/etc/init.d/60zram
To see the additions on top of Omni, check github (additional patches are always shown on top):
Frameworks

OmniGears
What does NOT work?
-Screenshot (not functional, will not be added in future as well, as it causes slow downs of UI)
-There are graphical glitches, especially when switching between portrait and landscape mode.
First installation:
-Boot into recovery
-Factory reset
-Wipe system partition
-Install ROM
-Install SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/371/Sup...erSU-v1.85.zip
-Install gapps (you should use a package specifically for KK4.4 and with the old-fashioned updater-script! - don't worry if you install an outdated gapps packages with the correct updater-script, as long as it is for KK4.4 the apps in the gapps package will be automatically updated)
-Boot it up
Update installation (OMNI -> OMNI):
-Boot into recovery
-Install ROM
-Install SuperSU (in the SuperUser app you can create a script that will automatically backup/restore SuperSU on ROM updates so you don't have to reflash SuperSU).
-Boot it up
