Team HellKat Proudly Presents

HELLKAT for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 (jflte)!!!!

(jflteatt, jfltecan, jfltecri, jfltecsp, jfltespr, jfltetmo, jflteusc, jfltevzw, jfltexx)


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)
- DARK System UI (Thanks Slim)
- Build.prop injector
- Transparency options for notification drawer
- Force High End Gfx (Thanks SGT7)
- Transparency option and Blur for Lockscreen (Thanks PA)
- List View Animations
- Large recents, recents color, dual pane prefs options (Thanks SGT7)
- Options to disable bootanimation and wallpaper
- Lockscreen ring battery
- Dual Panel settings
- CM Screen Security settings
- Ability to change tile colors and transparency
- NavBar Dimensions
- Movable Sizable Halo windows
- swipe anywhere on notification panel to switch views
- BatteryBar
- Quick Tiles Flip animation
- Quick Tiles allow 3,4,5 tiles in pulldown
- Ability to change notification drawer background
- notification transparency
- 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
- ScreenRecorder
- HALO)))
- 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.
"Your warranty is now void. We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at any of us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. Collectively, and at the same time."

Someone complained about my screenshots here, which I considered PG-13 (Taylor Momsen on a toilet no nudity was shown) and got me Censored. To bad you cannot censor the screenshot in my link to screenshots. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks to the prude for forcing your morals onto me, I hope you like Yolandi Visser dressed as an angel eating a human heart better.

Careful man, nadict might give you a warning for keeping things off topic....or for saying things that might be offensive to others.

I have been using TWRP 2.6.1.0 without issue. Couldn't flash my CM11 or HK with 2.6.3.0 on my Herc
I've been using 2.5.0.0 with no flashing issues at all. ...

Thanks for the warning, but you bringing it up again 5 hours later is what exactly? I put new screen shots up, I hope they like them is all.

I have been on XDA a long time, have had alot of OP's. And have seen way more offensive things posted and never removed. I am over and done with it. Trying to offend was not my purpose. Sharing my work is, and that is my daily driver wallpaper. I can always close this thread and build for a different device if my work is not appreciated or to offensive here. I do not have a jfltetmo, and do not like drama. I do not like being censored, especially when I feel I was following the rules.

Oh and so you know check with TWRP if you like, but 2.5.0.0 does not support SELinux correctly

Something must be up with the new build because coming from another KK ROM that updated yesterday and it has the same problem with no resolution. Stock Messaging FC's and for me at least Hangouts is as well.

Hangouts doesn't work too
I'm not seeing a link in the OP, but is there a HellKat-specific gapps .zip file to use, or do I use a CyanogenMod 11 gapps .zip file?
No point in me linking them because someone will always ask about a new or different version. Any 4.4GApps should work. I use this guys gapps-kk-20131111-artcompatible.zip myself.
