I flashed the update and it is absolutely amazing, finally!
One problem that I have been having was the front camera was not working. I had a deodexed b12 rom before this and for a while the front camera was not working. It was not because of the rom because it worked fine on that rom before and I think it's a kernel issue. On any rom other than the newest kitkat one, (including previous completely stock roms) trying to switch to the front camera would make the app freeze and then the back camera, flashlight and any other apps that used those functions would either freeze or force close. I would have to wipe dalvik and reboot to get the back camera and flashlight working again. This problem persists however, now, it just does not switch to the front camera and I still have access to the back camera and flashlight. I am not sure what is going on as this persists through countless ota updates and as you can see, the most recent one...
Other than that, everything works on this stock rom. I have to root it again though, would old root methods work? I used framaroot w/ gandalf exploit originally.

sources for the rom should be made public through github or similar to comply with gpl and so that others interested can build properly...

I'm going to try this in a minute, there's no reason why it shouldn't work since it's an official update from att. You guys have no idea how happy this makes me lol, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'd also like to think everyone who has been using my first custom rom, even though the changes are small 
I hope that development continues on this device since now that there is an official update I don't see any reason why lollipop couldn't be done by learning from the update. But then again I'm not really a dev.

I installed the update a few hours ago and it works great for me. I'm not having any issues with the camera.

Foe anyone that is going to update your phone, the stock launcher is terribly slow. I recommend installing Nova launcher.
