[XXMrHyde]

Building from Source:

Requirements:

• Linux, (I use Ubuntu, works with other distros, too, but maybe you have to make some changes to the commands)
• A working Build Environment, (here is a guide how to set up a Build Environment on Ubuntu)
  (needed steps till "Identify Yourself to the Repo")

Create working directory and init repo:

mkdir ~/Android/Darkkat

(you can use a directory name and path you like, but you have to change the commands to match to your local path)

cd ~/Android/Darkkat

For Android 4.4.3/4.4.4 version:

repo init -u git://github.com/XXMrHyde/android.git -b darkkat-4.4.3

For Android 4.4.2 version:

repo init -u git://github.com/XXMrHyde/android.git -b darkkat-4.4

Sync the repo:

cd ~/Android/Darkkat && repo sync

(now it`s time to drink a big cup of coffee, tea, or ... this can take some time)

Get the needed binaries for the Nexus 7:

• Download from Google Developers:
  For 4.4.4:
  Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) binaries for Android 4.4.4 (KTU84P)
  For 4.4.3:
  Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) binaries for Android 4.4.3 (KTU84L)
  For 4.4.2:
  Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) binaries for Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H))
  
  (all 3 tgz archives)
• Extract to the root of your working directory,

Run the scripts:

cd ~/Android/Darkkat

./<filename>

(Confirm Licensing Agreement)

Build the rom:

cd ~/Android/Darkkat && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch flo

(time for the next big cup of coffee, ...)

That`s it,
you (hopefully) compiled successfully your own DarkKat rom


Update the sources:

cd ~/Android/Darkkat && repo sync

(this time it doesn`t take much time)

Now build again,
(if there are a lot of sourcecode changes, or your last build is some times ago you may need to clean your "out" directory):

cd ~/Android/Darkkat && . build/envsetup.sh && make clobber

 

[XXMrHyde]

Darkkat Addon

Included:

• Custom installation with Aroma Installer
• English and german language
• Bootanimations:
  • AOSP 4(.1/.2)
  • AOSP 4(.3/.4)
  • Galaxy Nexus
  • OmniRom, (old)
  • CM10(.1/.2)

  • Terminal Emulator
• Install backup script:

Some infos:

General:
If you don`t like you don`t have to use the addon,
but take a look at post #2 "Installation" -> "Without DarkKat Addon"

You only have to flash the addon one time, (if you choose to install the backup scripts),
all your custom changes will be restored after an update.

The Darkkat Addon will work with all Darkkat Builds,
you don`t have to look at the addon date and rom date.

Additional Apps:
Don`t use the addon to update the apps, (this should be done via Play Store)
There is no need to install apps which are already installed.

My back button doesn't work.

Happen to go into language and input? For whatever reason I always loose back button when I do that on a fresh build, or have aosp and Google keyboards selected but blacked out. Just click Google voice typing, then unselect. Back should work again.

 

[jessejames44]

Some how fixed itself with a reboot.Running as a second rom on multirom.

Is this ROM odexed? Can't seem to find it in op, looking to try ART and read that it works with odexed to avoid softbrick.

Only Stockton is odexed, AOSP is deodexed
