Wipe:
Full-Wipe is required, if you came from a:
Non AOSP based Rom, (Stock rom)
Non Android 6.0.X based Rom
Full-Wipe is recommend, if you came from a:
AOSP based Rom
you can do a Non-Wipe if you came from an:
Earlier DarkKat 6.0.X alpha/beta/release Build
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install the Rom:
Get Gapps
(e.g. OpenGapps,
ATM I`m using OpenGapps, but of course other gapps packages will work, too.
Get get the latest SuperSU:
[STABLE][2016.07.05] SuperSU v2.76 by Chainfire
For secondary rom installations via MultiRom! :
Force system mode installation, ("MultiRom and root")
Copy the Rom-Zip, Gapps and SuperSu to your SD-Card,
Flash zips in recovery
Boot the rom, and go to SuperSu:
Go to settings -> "Install SuperSu backup script"
This is only available in system mode!
Next rom update, you only have to flash the rom itself
Update the Rom (from alpha/beta/release):
Flash the rom using Non-Wipe
With systemless root mode you have to reflash at least SuperSU!
I didn`t tested the update process with systemless root!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gapps:
Take care which Gapps package you install,
especially on small Gapps packages, (micro, nana, ...)
some features of this rom wont be available,
some Gapps packages offering a configuration to
not install some Google apps/features, this could also
result in same "problems" as using a to small Gapps packages.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
MultiRom and root:
As I use system root mode,
and for me there is no reason to
use systemless root mode, (for now),
I can`t give any Support for systemless root mode
To force the SuperSU installation in system mode, flash:
(before flashing the SuperSU zip)
SuperSU_force_system_mode
To force the SuperSU installation in systemless mode flash:
(before flashing the SuperSU zip)
SuperSU_force_systemless_mode
Primary rom installations, (or without Multirom):
Possibly SuperSU will be installed in systemless mode,
so you have to force system mode if you don`t want to use the systemless mode.
Secondary rom installations:
SuperSU will be "installed" in systemless mode,
but SuperSU isn`t installed (or disabled and hidden),
also root isn`t working at all.
There are 2 possibilities to "install" DarkKat as secondary rom with working root:
System mode:
force the SuperSU installation in system mode
Systemless mode:
(tested on the Nexus 6 only, but should work on other devices, too)
Install DarkKat as primary rom,
and force the SuperSU installation in systemless mode:
Create a backup, and add a secondary rom from backup,
(tested)
Use MultiRoms swap rom feature,
(untested)

Initial release, (see changes on post #1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
A fast desktop CPU, (or a very fast mobile CPU, better use a PC)
Enough RAM, (8 - 16 GB)
A up to date Linux, (I use Ubuntu 14.04, works with other distros, too, but maybe you have to make some changes to the commands)
A working Build Environment, (here is a guide how to set up a Build Environment on Ubuntu)
(needed steps till "Identify Yourself to the Repo")
Of course it`ll work on slow hardware, too,
but it takes a lot more time.
Create working directory and init repo:
Code:
mkdir ~/Android/Darkkat
(you can use any directory name and path you like, but you have to change the commands to match to your local path)
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/XXMrHyde/android.git -b darkkat-6.0
Sync the repo:
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && repo sync
(now it`s time to drink a big cup of coffee, tea, or ... this can take some time)
Setting up ccache, (optional):
I recommend to use ccache,
if you have enough free space on your SSD/HDD, (about 50 GB).
Using ccache will speed up the building times,
(first build will take longer, because the cchache will be created).
For me, (clean build)
first build/without ccache:
about 45 - 55 minutes
following builds, with ccache:
about 10 - 17 minutes
Code:
gedit .bashrc
and add this line to the bottom:
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
the default ccache directory is located at the root of your home directory,
if you like a different location add this line, too;
Code:
export CCACHE_DIR=<path-to-your-cache-directory>
Now run the following command:
Code:
~/Android/Darkkat/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
Build the rom:
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch hammerhead
(time for the next big cup of coffee, ...)
That`s it,
you (hopefully) compiled successfully your own DarkKat rom
Update the sources:
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && repo sync
(this time it doesn`t take much time)
Now build again,
(if there are a lot of sourcecode changes, or your last build is some times ago you may need to clean your "out" directory):
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && . build/envsetup.sh && make clobber

Installation:
Take a look at the updated installation instructions at post #2,
(especially "Gapps" and "Root")
Some infos about this Update:
ALPHA/BETA/RELEASE builds:
In general, all builds are comming with the RELEASE tag
(in the rom name), but I wont mention the RELEASE tag,
but if the rom is a ALPHA/BETA build,
mostly on major Android version updates, 5 -> 6,
(possibly 6.0 -> 6.1) and/or the roms additional features are in
ALPHA/BETA stage, (which is the case with first builds on new Android versions),
I`ll mention the ALPHA/BETA stage of the rom.
Lock sreen shortcuts, (default at the bottom):
Related to the installed Gapps package,
the left shortcut, (phone or voice assist)
is possibly always hidden, even if the device supports phone calls.
I have to take a deeper look into it,
to fix the phone shortcut on devices with phone calls support,
if the used Gapps package doesn`t include the needed files for the voice assist.
And also fix the available shortcuts at Settings.

Installation:
Take a look at the updated installation instructions at post #2,
(especially "MultiRom and root")
SuperSU/MultiRom:
This is only relevant on new/fresh installations or if you like to update
SuperSU.
At least on the Nexus 5, new SuperSU versions, (at least 2.66 and 2.67),
will be installed in systemless mode, to force a system mode installation,
fortunately there is a "official" way, (the unofficial "forced" system mode zip
doesn`t work for me, I got a bootloop, (boot animation)),
before installing SuperSU:
if you have access to your device via adb, run:
Code:
adb shell "echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu"
otherwise create a new file at /data : ".supersu", (there must be a " . " at the beginning
and add the line :
Code:
SYSTEMLESS=false
From my knowlegde, the adb command won`t work for secondary roms,
because the file will be created at /data of the primary rom,
in theory, the "create file" method will work on secondary roms, too,
of course you have to create the file from your secondary rom.
Some infos about this Update:
System R/W:
In the meantime, I found out, that the "System R/W" bug isn`t a bug of the rom,
but a bug of the (outdated ? ) file manager I used,
so using another file manager solved the issue.
Sorry about this.
Status bar network traffic:
As there are 2 new options, "Show" (normal status bar) and "Show when on lock screen",
there is no need to have a "disabled" option on the network activity list,
("Download", "Upload" and "Download & Upload"),
in my opinion it doesn`t worth the work to "update" the "old" disabled option
to the new "Show/hide" options, which means if you enabled the network traffic,
on the new build the network traffic is disabled/hidden,
so you only have to check 1 switch to get your old "state" back,
(all other options/customizations will stick).
Status bar expanded bars:
As the rom now included bars for mobile-, wifi network and battery status,
there is no need for the mobile-, wifi network and battery icons on the status bar header
when expanded. And that`ll be the time the troubles begin, it`s "easy" to fade out/in the header icons
related to the expanded state, but make this related to the visible bars, too, will be very hard.
It isn`t enough to "only" fade the icons out/in, the icons also have to be moved to prevent
blank spaces, (e.g. only mobile network bar is visible, the wifi icon has to be moved next to the battery icon,
and the mobile network icon has to be fade out, and that`s only on of the possibilities).
Remember back to the header of the 5.X version I spent days/weeks, to get the header content movement/animations
to work as expected.
So the easiest way is to remove the icons at all of course.
All Ideas, opinions, ... to this "issue" will be appreciated and welcome.

Added some screenshots to post #1
Unfortunatelly I found a big bug on the status bar.
Related to the enabled settings, (Greeting, Ticker, ...)
sometimes the status bar content is invisible,
the network name is invisible all the time,
and on the status bar when on lock screen, the system icons
are visible from (normal) status bar and lock scren status bar.
I`m sure there are other visibility issues as well related to the status bar.
I`m currently working on a fix,
or better I remove the complete greeting function, which is the reason for the issue.
Maybe I`ll add the greeting back again, but in another way for sure,
(toast, dialog, ...)
The fix will be a smal flashable zip,
so nobody has to redownlaod and install a complete rom.
Big sorry about this.

SuperSU/MultiRom:
Update MultiRom and MultiRom-TWRP to the current version from 2016.02.07.
Primary rom installations:
SuperSU will be installed in system mode.
Secondary rom installations:
SuperSU will be "installed" in systemless mode,
but SuperSU isn`t installed (or disabled and hidden),
also root isn`t working at all.
There are 2 possibilities to "install" DarkKat as secondary rom with working root:
System mode:
force the SuperSU installation in system mode
Systemless mode:
(tested on the Nexus 6 only, but should work on other devices, too)
Install DarkKat as primary rom,
and force the SuperSU installation in systemless mode:
Create a backup, and add a secondary rom from backup,
(tested)
Use MultiRoms swap rom feature,

Some infos about this update:
Status bar expanded header:
I enabled again the hiding of the signal and battery icons if expanded,
this isn`t the final solution, but any other implementation related to the visible bars
needs much overwork, so this will be a "feature" for the future.
Notifications:
I tested the notifications with a lot of different apps,
but possibly there are color related "problems" with some apps I didn`t tested.
So if you get any "problems" with notifications colors, just let me know,
but tell me which app and which color related notification setting you use.
Navigation bar:
The customizations are almost finished, except the button arrangement.
I didn`t finally decided how and which kind of button arrangement I include.
But for sure this will be a much less "feature implementation" as I used for L.

Thanks for the ROM. All I can say is....its a different approach for UI customization..... looks like Android N pre-release ...
Is it not possible to provide delta updates instead of complete ROM update?
Unfortunately I can't provide delta updates for now, because the hosting service I use doesn't support the needed apis. And a hosting service which supports the needed apis is to expensive. But I'll take a look again, the last time I checked the hosting services was some time ago.
Gesendet von meinem SM-G925F mit Tapatalk
Thanks for the rom! I have some feedback that I hope with help:
1. Under quick pull down settings left is still in Dutch, links!
2. When you have 6 items in the quick settings panel they aren't centered so the 6th shows part of the screen. I tried to make a screenshot but couldn't because of no3.
3. When making changes to the power menu it no longer works. Long pressing thing power button instead causes the phone ui to reboot.
4. Is it possible to add an option to the network traffic indicator(s)to only show traffic over a specific level? Similar to other roms?
5. Is it possible to add smart pull-down also?
Edit # The power menu problem when the ui restarts is only repeatable by removing airplane mode.

Thanks, helps a lot,
especially 3., a user on the N6 already complains about it,
but I couldn`t reproduce it.
1. It`s german, but that doesn`t matter, will fix it.
2. It`s only centered if there is space on both sides, I`m not happy with this behavior,
but it wasn`t easy to not break the layout at all, I`ll take look on it.
3. I`ll take a look into it. (Already reproduced it, and got the log, I guess I know what`s causing it).
4. Good Idea.
5. Possible of course, but it`s not on top of my to do list.
Using this at the moment, working good so far. Did not install any custom kernel, slightly adjusted to the "bars," but nevertheless the battery life is good. Will stay on this for a while.
