A few years ago, I have been building Mackay ROM, based on CyanogenMod for a number of devices. Due to being busy at work, I have stopped with that. I recently picked it up with again with a Mackay ROM based on LineageOS.

It is actually LineageOS, with a few extras that I always miss:
-SU build into the ROM
-No hash sign when using SU
-Network traffic speed option for statusbar
-OMS Substratum theming
-OmniClock in stead of Lineage Desk Clock

The bootanimation is made by my brother. It is the family coat of arms of the Scottish Mackay clan to which my family is linked.

I try to build this ROM on a weekly basis, but it mainly depends on when interesting features are available/merged

Download:
AndroidFileHost

Installation:
-Make sure you have recent TWRP installed
-Make sure you have LL bootloader
-gapps can only be flashed on clean installs (I use pico 7.1 arm64 opengapps myself - opengapps.org)
-clean install (factory reset) if coming from another ROM, dirty flash if updating

I am open to suggestions for additions, but I prefer a clean ROM, just some basic extras over stock LineageOS has always been my approach for Mackay ROMs.

Credits:
This ROM would never have been possible without the hard work of the exynos5420 team and ZakooZ in particular for bringing LineageOS to the p600/n1awifi and the other LineageOS developers.

Hey, thanks for the development. I've been using this for the past several days, and encounter no major problems so far, it's based on Lineage afterall. Substratum theming works too, I've installed several.

I have a question though: since this is 7.1.2, are you sure you're using pico 7.1 arm64 opengapps? From the Lineage thread, it seems that opengapps (at least on several days ago) cannot be flashed on 7.1.2, as per this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ial-builds-t3457898/post71984181#post71984181
Basically due to changes in 7.1.2, Gapps for 7.1.1 or 7.0 doesn't work on 7.1.2 so a modded version needs to be used. Of course this is the one I flashed so all works fine.

Probably the only thing I'd request is that instead of using SuperSU, it's better to use Magisk, if only because it can hide itself from apps that don't like root.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed, there some to be an issue for latest opengapps. I guess/hope they'll fix this soon.

I've not tried Magisk myself and use the buildin su. I don't use apps that have a problem with root, but I'll add the recommendation
