We continue to amaze ourselves with the fireproof Samsung Galaxy S and with the tremendous development of Cooked roms that exist for this legendary already device Samsung.
This time I bring you a Rom with A recommendable 100 × 100 since the team of McKay is constant development and they offer us regular updates.
The Rom has been published just 24 hours ago and already has a follow-up of the Android community considerably important. Based on the latest build of the November 21 de CyanogenMod 11 And with plenty of custom touches by the Mackay team for sensational operation and performance on the Samsung Galaxy S model GT-I9000.
Requirements to flash the Rom
- Having a Samsung Galaxy S in its variant or international model, better known by all for GT-I9000.
- Be Root and have the modified recovery installed.
- EFS folder backup just in case.
- Nandroid Backup from Recovery.
- 100 × 100 battery.
- USB debugging enabled from Galaxy S settings.
Once the requirements have been met, we can now download the Zip of the Rom and the zip of the Google Gapps and copy them without decompressing to the internal memory root of our device, then we restart in Recovery Mode and we follow the flashing instructions of the Rom.
Rom installation method
- Wipe data factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Go Back
- Mounts and storage and we format data, datadata, cache and system.
- Go back again
- Install zip from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
- We select the zip of the rom and install it
- Choose zip from sdcard
- We select the zip of the Gapps and confirm its installation
- Reboot system now
We wait patiently for our Samsung Galaxy S and we will have it updated to the latest available version of Android.
If when flashing the rom it stayed in the start loop, re-enter Recovery and re-flash the rom zip without wipes, this may have to be done up to three times if you come from him Stock firmware Android 2.3.6 JVU.
Now you just have to continue enjoying this sensational terminal of Samsung and tell us your first impressions about the Rom Mackay Android 4.4 KitKat.

For the i9000 it comes out of everything but for the i9003 nothing, it seems the bastard brother what a scam.
The Galaxy S SCL (i9003), is not the bastard brother, but the little brother. Same Arm Cortex A8 cpu (although I'm not sure if it has any clipping), less GPU (graphics card, so to speak), less RAM, less… of everything. By themselves, these things, except for the graphics that is 4 times less powerful than the i9000, are not much clipping. But on the whole, it makes it infinitely less powerful. If it is already a headache to do something for the i9000, in the i9003 it is a true hell. If to that you add that it is a terminal that, having subsequently gone out to the S2, sold very little (people preferred to catch an S1 because of the little difference with the SCL). Working and most likely in vain, for a very small minority, would leave a large majority half-hung. Come on, if you are a programmer, who do you prefer to help, 100000 or 500000?
Hi, I have the last one from SlimRom that is going very very well since I go from having cyanogenmod… ..but we all know that this can us… and yes or yes, we must try the new Roms hahahaha, if it stays in the loop start, then I have no way to enter the recovery, I have to install the original rom and the CWR and start again and I always stay at the beginning… .some solution? I say it because I already spent with another Rom.
Thank you.
Installed without problems, it seems that everything is going well, I try it and I tell you. Thanks Francisco.
Thanks to you for commenting Jose, we await your impatient impressions. Greetings friend.

The ROM is fabulous, it is without a doubt one of the best I have tried. For now it has not given me any problem. Everything works perfectly. Battery consumption seems to be very balanced. It remains to be seen if it does not become unstable after a few days of use.
I also find it interesting to force a little the possibilities of my old SGS, I'll tell you what it holds. Thanks again Francisco.
Thanks to you for your comments friend.

I cannot download the gapps from the link in the article. Can someone indicate another site from where to download them? Thanks!!
You have to give the download in the middle, the smallest, first it will redirect you to an advertising page, exit it and give it again, so the file will be downloaded

Friend install everything and it is great but it does not catch me signal it tells me that the imei number is wrong, how do I fix that problem
Good friend, I explain what I get and he won't let me get a signal from the mobile
A problem has been detected in your device, the imei number of your device is invalid, an invalid imei number can cause network problems, including the inability to make calls to emergency numbers, help friend how do I solve it
That is, you have lost the EFS folder. Do a save copy restore or nandroid backup restore.

Francisco friend sorry for the inconvenience but could you explain to me how to restore the saved copy
I already solved it thanks

The same happens to me. When I turn it on it tells me: powered by Mackay Kernel and it does nothing,
Installed and running very well. I just don't know where to save my music to put it as a contact tone, message tone or the phone.
