Hello.
Am using Omega 3.x which is working really fine. The responsiveness is killer!
However i ran into issues when, for example on a mobile device, i need an option to view the full site but omega can't render the full site[as it is] on the mobile device with responsiveness enabled .
Is there any way i can view the full site on the mobile device? Or, does it mean disabling responsiveness completely and developing a mobile version?
[Which means a user can even view the mobile content on a desktop using the switch to mobile site/regular site ]
Thanks very much

Responsive is not the same as
Responsive is not the same as making 'mobile versions' of sites. Responsive is 'mobile first' meaning that the site is (or should be) setup to appear on mobile devices before thinking about the desktop versions.
The device will style the site based on the media queries & it's own device width. You would need to disable the layouts you don't want to use to have it non-responsive. I think you may also need another theme & a theme switcher to change from 'mobile' to 'desktop'.
It sounds like you don't really need to use Omega if this is what you plan to do, Omega (and responsive design) is intended to get away from the old issues …
Thanks for the info
Its looks like i have to choose between using Omega and its responsiveness or having two versions of my site. I need to think closely.

How do you do the last of these three things with Omega? Sending fewer bits to the mobile.

I did once and it works, kinda breaks the RWD approach but save a lot of bandwidth on mobile devices.
