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)

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." ​

Bugs

Everything as usual with the Hellcat works great! Just miss the airview features on my S4... Any way of integrating them back into the rom?

I have flashed 8 ROM's in a day or more even actually debugging. I compile CM11 HK and BL all 3 CM11 based and have dirty flashed all 3 ROM's and back without wiping cache even. Just have to install GApps each time. I am on a mako and I have flashed at least 30+ times without a wipe because I test all my mako builds and debug on my mako. You can always make a backup and if you don't like our ROM go back to CM. You obviously don't have OFD yet :laugh: Be careful flashing is what got me started

Jflte I thought our rom for Sprint galaxy s4 had spr at the end.

I like the HellKat. Haven't flashed the BlueLighning yet. Running the Linaro build today and it seems smoother than the straight CM build.

 

[izzyserious]

Sorry for the newbie question, but i've always used sacs or negalite roms since getting my s4 and i've been accustomed to a certain file size. I dowloaded the zip and g apps and noticed the rom was only 209 mb, just wanted to check and make sure i didn't get a bad dl before i flashed.
Thanks in advance, always looking for a good rom to try

Can't get a GPS fix w/this ROM

Came from Stock-rooted 4.3. Followed instructions in OP to the letter. GPS Status app just stays at 0/0 satellites, indefinitely, and Android Device Manager can ring the device, but cannot locate it.

Kernel related? What can I try? I'm sure there's a fix... I like how the GPS toggle in the notification bar (and everywhere else) looks like a pin that you can drop in Google Maps. Location reporting, sharing, and history are all fully enabled on the GS4, but the device cannot even locate itself in any app. My GTab 2 7" running CM10.1 (4.3) has no problems with any of the above-mentioned apps/features...

Help? Anyone? My primary device for getting around is crippled.

Figures.... I download and installed 20140223 and then today 20140302 is released - lol.

Great ROM otherwise, but PLEASE give me some suggestions? I did have problems at first getting the device to have SPrint service, which I fixed by playing with the "preferred network type" setting to "LTE/CDMA/EvDO", whereas the default option on this screen (forget which one it was) would tell me the device was not activated when I tried to call my GF's phone.

I'll be here, hitting refresh every five minutes, since I need GPS to be somewhere tonight that I don't know by heart. Thanks in advance,

What i had to do was go into recovery and restore a nandroid with working gps. Then with location set and a gps lock on the restored rom I rebooted back to recovery and restored Hell Kat and boom gps was working.

This again?

Damn. First time using TWRP, due to SELinux and KNOX, and the first time I've skipped the backup process... I know I can only blame myself for that, but is this GPS thing really gonna be an issue again, with the same silly downgrade fix that we saw when upgrading our S2's to ICS? Seriously?

 

[trmitche2]

Or by chance, does today's new build...

.... does the 20140302 build released today have any ROM or CM Upstream changes that might help?

I assume I don't need to wipe system/data when just upgrading to a newer version of HellKat?
