[ROM] | Unofficial HellKat-4.4.2 v010| SaberMod/Linaro | 2013.12.28 |

******I am proud to present******

Android 4.4+ KitKat ROM built from CyanogenMod v11.0 source with lots of custom additions​
The credit for the idea behind this project goes to DerTeufel1980, with additions from ThdDude, ad Cl3kener compiled using the Linaro-4.8.2 Toolchain for a super optimized build. Lots of tweaks under the hood for snappy response, great battery life, and the ultimate in customability. Over the next few weeks the ROM will evolve to 4.4.1, and lots of additions will be made. I plan on updating and maintaining this project so expect good things, as the ones of you who know me, know I'm all about getting you what you want...I hope you will join me on this journey to hell....​

Quick question for soup..... is there a reason to build with Cm over aosp? I noticed similar customization on both types of roms but Cm base seems to be buggy. Specifically with playback... on my phone anyway.

As of right now it is a modifyed SlimKernel, with Stock setup, but future builds will be compled with either bricked or elementalX kernels for more customization until my kernel guy gets a good stable kernel together

CM offers modifyed code, wich means i dont have to modify the code lol, really its just laziness but it makes my lif ALOT easier and allows me to get projects out alot sooner and faster, I go back and forth with CM and Slim as a base, and i can honestly say that I havent had a problem with my builds, normal cm DOES seem to be buggy at times, but i change so much,and use so much Linaro to do the compiling i think it helps iron out the build a little, but i could be abslutely wrong about this lol, try it out and let me know what u think...
Awesome Sauce! Thanks @soupysoup! Can't wait to try!

Thats not a bad idea, actually, EVERYONE... what kernel would u like to see run with this? remember its CM based so faux and those arent going to be compatible just yet, but theres a lot of great kernel out there, and i nee something besides stock cm, or the slightly better stock slim kernel, so if anyone has any input on kernels they wanna see im willing to try a few out...

Team HellKat Proudly Presents

HELLKAT for the HammerHead!!!!


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)
- Transparency options for notification drawer
- Transparency option for Lockscreen
- DARK System UI (Thanks Slim)
- Build.prop injector
- Transparency options for notification drawer
- Force High End Gfx (Thanks SGT7)
- Transparency option 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
- 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.
