Thanks but I know that. I meant which features were last merged in the CM version that are not in the OMNI version

hum, for the use I give to my phone the real difference that I can find is the performance menu, the lockscreen notifications and some changes to the notification bar, like connection speed that are in omni and not in cm11. apart from that, everything is the same...

I was one of the first to try omni and I am sorry to see that is not as good as cm. Anyway, I also moved from omni but I feel saying a great thanks to Kasper for the trip!

The most important thing for me is, that omni cannot mount external SD when connected to pc, mackay can.
Quick settings are a bit different. I like them more in mackay.
I like the keyboard of mackay more.
I think, Kasper does not have a complete list of features as they will change with every new build.

@kasper_h
No, dear dev- please keep definitely working on OMNI for the i9000, we really need it!
It has just such a huge potential and 4.4 is just for all devices still in early stage....

@MrOban
regarding SD card problems, let me just share with you my experience with OMNI on other devices: with N7100 and N5110:

the 64GB SDHC card had to be formatted first in the PC to exFAT and after that in the phone/Tab. Then all worked like a charm, before that, I had severe problems with the card.
root gets lost with OMNI also with other devices, flashing SuperSU as zip in recovery solves the problem
TWRP works better than other custom recoveries for flashing this ROM, tough I had also a problem that it couldn't recognize my files although they were there, just not in a folder. The files must be kept in a folder, at least on the N5110

IMO CM based is by a long way the better ROM. Probably the best ROM I've ever installed on my phone.

It seems omni (still) is not stable for our phone. I hardly use my SGS, so I don't really notice most of the issues mentioned, but it is clear that some things are wrong. I also lost root, which should have been retained through the SuperSU script. No idea why that didn't work.

It seems that every time something is solved, ten other things stop working.

Maybe I should stop developing Omni, and just focus on CM-based Mackay...

Focusing on the most operational ROM, would be an excellent idea, as it would ensure a better quality product, whereas having too many ROM's would be great, when every thing is functional, (which should take some time to materialize and should not be a burden on anyone) .

I would recommend that instead of having too many developers working on OMNI Roms ( refer to this )

Omni ROM 4.4 Kit Kat by @kasper_h
[4.4.2]Omni for the Galaxy S I9000 by @SferaDev
as well as other developers posting within these threads

why not work together, meaning form a team for the OMNI version ( just like the @DevConnection_Team
for i9001) and collectively achieve it.

I am sure the i9000 community will appreciate and support all of your efforts and hard work.

Oh, don't worry, I communicate a lot with SferaDev about Omni. We are not trying to fix issues by ourselves, we do this together. But as I've stated before, I won't spend lots of time on the SGS, the device being only a secondary phone I work on for fun.

Exactly what I am thinking too, only if you select a few members as testers ( those who truly know how to solve issues on their own and give correct feedback to you both or all that are working as a team via PM) you all can resolve issues faster and better and also reduce unnecessary comments and anxiety from, noobs/newbs testing the ROM and looking for answers. just my two cents. :fingers-crossed:

Edit: also the testers will take care of the FAQ, and it would be less stress on the developers.

It seems that I'm alone in this but I think that if you have little time to invest in our beloved SGS, that should be dedicated to OMNI. There are a lot of other CM-based ROM and thus I see little use for another one; moreover, yours and SferaDev are the only OMNI-based ROMs and that gives more importance to the work in this field IMHO.

Anyways, I'm very pleased with the feeling of the 05 Jan version, works buttery smooth and it's by far the best ROM I tried on my SGS. Features like the new notification system, the new day and date printing in the status bar, the performance tabs and the integration of SuperSU to name a few have become a really important part of my phone experience.

Therefore, if you need testers for a new experimental version, i.e. to see if the lowmem and root issues can be solved, please feel free to ping me anytime.

Whatever decision you may take, I have to say this: many thanks for your work, Kasper.

I'm using the 20140112 version right now and apart from the known issues (wich I believe can be overcome), the phone works fine. But sure I understand that this rom can only be a side project.

OK, here is a test build:
http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/kasper_h/roms/kk/test/

This one has the latest OMNI code, the latest kernel code (with CMA & zram updates), and the latest TWRP. With some extra patches to improve, amongst others QS.

The ROM works fine for me. But I don't know whether data works. I merged a lot of patches that should solve the data issue, but I don't know whether this was successful. Therefore, I post it as a test build.

After reading this, and the 2 pages that followed, I must say: Guys, I am a bit confused here

What is this test build? and for which rom is it?
Omni?
Mackay Omni?
Mackay CM?

Are you saying you will stop developing the Mackay Omni? Why? It works fine (apart for some minor glitches)

Please clarify

Do you know a fix? Mounting external SD in PC for me with omni only work in Recovery.

I build two ROMs for sgs

Mackay cm, which is based on cm11
Mackay omni, which is based on omni ROM
Same kernel. Some differences in tweaks between them.

I will actively work on mackay cm and passively on mackay omni (build it, but I will not spend time on tweaking/fixing specifically for sgs).

OK, so you made your decision. By that, do you mean that you're not going to fix the lowmem and non-root problems that afflicted your latest experimental version?

DSP Manager crash, is it a known bug or there is a way to fix it?

Actually, I don't understand the problem with lowmem, why the flag causes these issues. Hard to solve if I don't know why the problem happens.
And with root, it seems to be a problem with SuperSU backup/restore script. We'll see whether this is a one-time isssue. But no real direction to solve it, as SuperSU is not part of the ROM...

I am truly sorry to read that, I really enjoyed this rom. I have a feeling that CM has become a bit too bloated
