Team HellKat Proudly Presents
HELLKAT for the Original Kindle Fire (Otter)!!!!
HellKat is CM11 based with a completely redone beautiful Holo Red theme. I remade the kernel to improve performance and updated the kernel to the final 3.0.101 kernel version. 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 http://github.com/Hellybean
I own a Kindle Fire so I'll do my best to debug issue that might present themselves. I do request that you send me a logcat though on FCs and RRs etc. Thanks in advance!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download ROM (link above) and these art compatible gapps (which work fine for art mode as well as dalvik)
2. Wipe cache, dalvik, data and flash ROM followed by gapps
3. Reboot and enjoy!
4. I recommend changing from Interactive to InteractiveX for better performance. You can also install Trickster Mod from play store and disable F Sync for even better performance although if you crash your kindle you might suffer data loss.
