I have been using wxHexEditor - full featured / stable + source !

Handles HUGE files with ease (only limited by your RAM)

sudo apt-get install wxhexeditor  #  then launch using  wxHexEditor

_ OR _

git clone https://github.com/EUA/wxHexEditor.git 
cd wxHexEditor
make -j8
sudo make install
wxHexEditor

Before compiling wxHexeditor you need wxWidgets and autoreconf on your system ... just install those libraries :

sudo apt-get build-dep  wxhexeditor   

I then do ln -s /usr/bin/wxHexEditor ~/bin/wxhexeditor so I can launch it using lowercase
