[ROM] [OFFICIAL][4.4.2] BLUE LIGHTNING | DIABLO KERNEL | CUSTOM MADE LINARO [01-26-14]

HellDevs proudly presents

BLUE LIGHTNING!!!




Blue lightning is a very light and fast CM based ROM with....

+ Halo
+ DIABLO KERNEL (LOTS OF ADDED GOODIES)
+ Dual Settings
+ Tiles Color and Transparency
+ Notification Drawer Color Transparency Options
+ Recents Panel Color Transparency
+ Lockscreen Transparency Blur
+ Modded Trebuchet
+ Large Recents Thumbs
+ Performance Menu
+ LCD Density Changer
+ Init'd Tweaks
+ Build.prop Mods
+ Opticharged everything
+ Lots more

To sum this up it's essentially CM with all of the speed optimizations and goodies I use because I like my fast ROMs!!!

Install instructions

1. Download ROM and gapps to sdcard
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Flash ROM followed by Gapps
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy!

Note: Before you flash a custom kernel please at least try Diablo out. I've put lots of time into it and I think you'll like it if you try it :)

Want to use this kernel? I won't mind if you use it but please make sure to talk to me first because there are certain dependencies that are needed for it to work properly. :)​

Flawless, lighting fast. If I'm not mistaken, the blue twin of Hellkat.
Has been my daily driver for nearly two weeks (well, between Blue and Hellkat and these devs' vanilla CM version... my personal favorite :thumbup: ) which is unheard of for a flashaholic like me.

Check out this post in Hellkat thread. Please note that this is the kernel in the 1/19 ROM. Don't know if the kernel was updated since then.

Actually Diablo is my kernel I use for compiling ROMs. If you want a flashable version of my kernel it is called UBER. Uber is more geared for flashing (it has more modules and some optimizations and such) and Diablo is meant to be build inside a ROM. If you want to checkout out my UBER nightlies the link is here http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener/HAMMERHEAD/KERNELS/UBER

Exp-linaro is made with a Linaro 4.8.3 toolchain. The more stable versions are made with Linaro 4.7.4. :) I'll be making a kernel OP very soon you can post some feedback on the kernel. :)

A thread! Brilliant. Well worth giving this ROM a run everyone. I've been using it for a while now. It's fast. Probably the fastest ROM I've used so far, and I've been through a few (as we all have :)

Very excited to see this develop.

I just noticed that a new CM build is up. I'm on blue lightning. Have you been doing full wipes when switching from blue lightning to CM, or is it okay to dirty flash?
