Some infos about the future of the DarkKat Rom, (Darkkat Addon):

I just decided to abandon the DarkKat addon,
and include some additional apps into the rom,
(a filemanager, SuperUser and Terminal Emulator).
It`s still possible to use SuperSu instead of SuperUser.
The current addon will still be compatible to the next builds,
but I will not update it.

(It`s working on Nexus 5, didn`t tested it on other devices)

I had to disable some functions, dialer, sms, launcher3 and contacts are untouched,
anything else seems to work fine.

I didn`t decided if I`ll release a new 4.4.2 build with tons of changes,
the 4.4.3 version, (as soon as everything is working),
or both.

No rom can make phone calls, the hardware doesn't support it.

Infos:
This rom is untested, I don`t own the LTE version of the N7!
It`s working fine on flo, so i guess it works on deb, too.
Lolipop release binaries are still missing for deb,
so I used the binaries from last Developer preview,
in the past, this works on flo, too.
Will work with MultiRom as additional Rom only

As this is realy an ALPHA, flash at your own risk!

Installation:
  • (if present: delete /system/addon.d (all files))
  • Flash via full-wipe
  • Flash gapps for Android 5.0
  • Flash SuperSU

    I finally decided to make an open beta test for the sms, USSD (and possibly sip) feature.

    If someone is interested, you can find a beta build, and a patch for the mentioned features here.

    The beta build will add USB-OTG storage support, (working is confirmed),
    the patch will add sms/mms support, (working is confirmed),
    and includes the dialer app from mako, (holo dark themed),
    the sms/mms app from mako, (holo dark themed).

    You can use the native sms/mms app, hangouts, or any third party app for sms/mms.
    The dialer is for sending USSD codes, and possibly for sip calls.

    Known bugs:
    if there is more than one sms/mms app installed, notifications for all apps will appear.

    USSD and sip feature is UNTESTED!

    make a backup in recovery before applying the patch,
    use the patch at your own risk.

    Again a big thanks to my beta tester, without his help
    there won`t be a darkkat version for deb,
    and I didn`t tried to include these feature.

    You have to resetup the power menu, it will be restored to defaults.

    wouldn`t exist
