[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cl3Kener:
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

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

- 3.0.101 Kernel

- Kernel has HYPER, InteractiveX, Lionheart, and Wheatley CPU Govs and Fifo and Zen IO Schedulers added

- 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)))

- Screen Recorder (ChaOS)

- 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​

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!

Currently all builds will be found on goo.im at http://goo.im/devs/helldevs/otter/hellkat but if you have issues with that I try to mirror builds on DevDB (you can see it from a computer, if not click here )​

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.
