Edited. I hope it is correct now.

 

[pudup]

Whoa a new ROM. Damn I really need a new phone
Does it have a theme chooser built into it?

EDIT: Nevermind I read the changelog. Trying it now

 

[aaa839]

Edited. I hope it is correct now.

@Nikhil Major/Critical bugs:
the move to sd / phone option were missing from application tab
also all the apps no permission to installed to the sd card
this may due to the mounting points and you did not adding the 4.4 kiktat sd hot fix
just you have modified the permission.xml in system/etc/permission

Minor:
carbon rom can not in-place upgrade from omni 4.4 it
the theme choose will fc

2systemui will not started when in-place upgrade from omni4.4
(statues bar, nodification center,quick setting scroll down etc.)


what I could found the bug were above(majority sD card permission)
if you have time please fix it asap

I've had this changes incorporated. Trying to fix other bugs before next build.

 

[ali288]

hi all, great job ... will fix the camera, as it does not go to video mode and does not move.

 

[gjpalathingal]

Thanks for the very nice ROM. I love the ROM but Google play services and Clock crashes all the time! Can we expect a fix for these or am I missing something?
