I don't know about Omega Ruby, but you can obtain the shiny charm in XY by filling out your Poxedex with all non-event Pokemon. This will have your chances at:
1 in 2,730.6 chance of finding a shiny Pokemon in the wild.
1 in 1024 chance of hatching a shiny Pokemon.
Furthermore, the catch rate of shinies is much higher in the friend Safari. I caught a couple there myself. People ruined the rarity of shinies with cloning and Powersaves which diminishes my satisfaction towards catching shiny Pokemon now. The problem has become so big that now it seems like people only want shinies. I wouldn't mind one or two on my team, but it's out of control right now. Anyways, best of luck!

True that, i also only like shiny Pok?mon when you actually are the OT, i think it is so lame and cheap to trade them. People with boxes full shinies which they did not catch themselves have no rights to be proud if you would ask me.
I've never really gone shiny hunting, but I have heard of things.
First is the "masuda method", which is hatching shiny pokemon from eggs (supposedly takes a lot of time and patience). I know it works in X/Y, though I don't know if it works in ORAS (it should, as ORAS is still Gen VI).
So, this method works for both games, but requires breeding (and patience).
There's also chain fishing, which is consecutive catches in the same spot while fishing (requires a pokemon with an ability such as "suction cups" to be in the front of the party).
In X/Y, Friend Safaris are probably the best way to get shinies. I found three shinies in friend safaris without even trying. I don't know if giving tips throughout the game increases the chance (I always tipped through the playthrough since I had plenty of money in X).
There's a method in X/Y using the Pokeradar, though it's extremely confusing and time consuming. If you can figure it out (instructions are HERE), and want to give it a try, good luck. -_-
In ORAS, you can use the DexNav to shiny hunt. Someone wrote up a good explanation HERE, and of course, I'm sure there are Youtube tutorials. One of my favorite Pokemontubers, aDrive, does shiny hunting via the dexnav method.
