[KK 4.4.2][ROM]Mackay OMNI ROM (27-Feb-2014)

Will users of Mackay omni ROM still be able to use the delta updates, or is this method of updating limited to devices officially supported by omni ROM?
I have changed over from cm based Mackay to omni based and so far, so good.
The only big problem I have is not being able to colour calibrate the screen, so my screen has a horrible tint to it, but as soon as the Mackay settings fc has been fixed then all will be well once more.

Same here. The leds on the buttons don't light up for missed calls, messages, etc.I just wanted to let you know, that LED notifications don't work for me
I found another bug. My recent apps panel got messed up. And by that I mean, that the memory indicator has shown up (it's disabled) and also the clear apps button (it's enabled), but no recent apps show up there. After messing with the settings, nothing has changed. After a reboot I could set the right settings again and it works.
Stock kernel, stock baseband, etc, I don't use xposed or any other mod.

To take care of that install the BLN app from the market. Moving on, I really want to thank Kasper for bringing this great rom to the good ol SGS. I really like omni's open source mindset and the rom runs very smooth. My only gripes so far is the lack of bln by default and the occasional graphical glitches that lead to rando reboots. I hope these kinks can be ironed out as development progresses.

Why do you want to use screen space to do something that the hardware keys do?
Broken hardware keys?

There are many options. CM calc will be default from next build on, as it can be build from source. Update should come later today.

No, because this is my own ROM based on omni. Only official omni will work with opendelta.

97I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10/CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11-based builds for several devices. MackayROM was first based on CyanogenMod sources, but I decided to move over to Omni as base for my ROM.
About Omni: Omni is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: 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.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on Omni sources with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel:
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some additional patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Although it is possible to enable ART, this is not advisable:
-Takes long to convert from Dalvik to ART on first boot
-Needs more RAM
-Can cause soft reboots
But off course, YMMV -> light users may have better luck
Changelog of 27-Feb-2014
-Omni codebase of 26-Feb (e.g. new bootanimation)
-QS Ribbon is gone
-Custom kernels can be used only if specific for OmniROM => currently none
