Team HellKat Proudly Presents

HELLKAT for the Galaxy S II (Skyrocket)!!!!


HellKat is CM11 based with a completely redone beautiful Holo Red theme. You'll probably notice a difference between HellKat and CM nightlies (or the virgin AOSP builds) due to the LINARO 4.8 toolchain we use to compile the ROMs. HellKat was first created by DerTeufel during Jellybean and was called Hellybean. We now support several devices and with a new build server we will be able to bring this beautiful ROM to even more devices. If you have another device supported by CM you more than likely can build HellKat for your other device. We have a nice build script so that the hardest part of building HellKat is setting up Ubuntu and an Android developing environement. Checkout our sources at https://github.com/Hellybean/android


Here is a quick list of our differences from CM:
- RED THEMED!!!
- AWESOME RED DEVIL DROID WALLPAPER!!!
- Init.d Tweaker built into the settings menu
- LCD Density Changer built into settings
- Option to add date to status bar (Thanks Slim)

- Launch floating notifications from notification panel (long click)
- Ram Bar in Recents
- App Side Bar Chamelion OS
- App Side Bar Floating Window
- Recent Apps Floating Window
- TeloRadio from telo46
- Flip to Mute/Reject Call
- Open source google dialer
- Movable Clear All Button in Recents

- HALO)))
- Diablo Kernel
- More to come!!!

Things to expect in the future (because we had them in Hellybean)

- PIE (Color option included)
- Active Display
- and we'll probably grab more things as we go! :D

Please keep this thread on topic, and treat each other with respect.

Just like the CM team.

sweet, downloading now.
Update: Did a clean install, wiped everything. Installed HellKat, restored apps but then had a number of F/C on Google +, Hangouts. Can't seem to clear them up. Cleared cache, uninstalled updates and then downloaded new updates. same f/c. Everything else seems fine. Love the wallpaper!

Ok, I figured I would try this again. Downloaded the newest 12-17-13. Last time I used Gapps 2013-11-01. I figured gaps was the problem last attempt. So I tried the last PA Gapps 12-15 13. It was a no go, booted but everything was black but for battery circle, signal, WiFi. I could toggle and get to settings. So I wiped everything again and flashed again, same thing, again. Then I thought I would try another Gapps. This time I tried the 11-17-13 Gapps. That did the trick. Everything is working, no F/C on anything. Seems smooth so far. Has anyone else had issues like this?

I had issues with Google not restoring my account, but the newest PA Gapps fixed the problem. I am using the latest PA Gapps without a problem.

I just lost my LG Optimus G and went back to the Skyrocket. Installed this ROM.

I'm not missing the LG ;)

I'm noticing something I haven't seen on any ROM since I last used my Skyrocket.

I'm on Rogers. When I reboot the phone I have to dial *#*#4636#*#* and set it back again to LTE.

I can't do it from setting, and it always goes back to WDCMA after a reboot.

Can this be made to stick?
