I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10/CM10.1/CM10.2-based builds for some
time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM. I continue
now with KK4.4 from where I was for JB4.3. MackayROM is based on
CyanogenMod sources, with several performance enhancements.
About Cyanogen: CyanogenMod 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 Cyanogen 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 4.9.6 - 5-Jul-2014
-CM11.0 codebase of 5 July
-Small bugfixes
-Added CMAccount (so that a wipe will not lead to problem with setup wizard -> also no need to reboot between ROM & gapps flash anymore)
-Updated kernel (upstream CM)
Full changelog of 4.9.6 compared to stock CM11.0:
CM11.0 sources of 5-Jul-2014
Mackay kernel:
Separate kernel thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2532813
TWRP (2.7.1.0):
-Themed orange
-Run recovery-apps (zip files should be present in /system/mackay, launch them through advanced->run app)
Removed apps:
-VideoEditor & demo VideoFiles
vendor/cm:
-Adapt for custom MackayROM building (bootanimation, ROM&file name)
-Custom bootanimation (Thanks to Malcho)
vendor/samsung:
-Added scripts for Mackay Settings
hardware/samsung:
-F4k 720p patch for bigmem kernels
AriesParts (“Mackay Settings” in Settings menu):
Add mackay kernel settings options:
>WiFi PM mode selection
>BLX settings
>BLN activation
>Navbar selection
>Low RAM mode selection
For other projects (frameworks/base & Settings, check my github for the latest patches)
Coming from stock Samsung ROM/CM7:
-The safest way is to flash CM9 first and then flash Mackay ROM. Going directly from Samsung ROM/CM7 to Mackay ROM may lead to loosing IMEI.
Fresh install:
Can be flashed on top of any CyanogenMod build:
-Do a factory reset
-Flash ROM
-Flash gapps
-Reboot your phone
Update:
-Flash ROM
-Reboot your phone
(no wipes or other things needed, just flash & reboot)
-Custom kernels can be used only if specific for KK4.4
Credits:
-teamhacksung/pawitp for making CyanogenMod work on our ancient phone
-stratosk/DerTeufel/Mialwe for the inspiration I got from their kernels
-rootax for providing a high-speed server for high quality downloads
-Malcho for his kernel splash & bootanimation

If you get the error "There was a problem communicating with Google servers" when trying to add a Google account to the Calendar, please flash 6-19_AOSP_Calendar_Sync_4.4.4_signed.zip to resolve the problem.
For those who want to theme it even further, Bejda made a Mackay splash screen! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2214468
