bringing AOKP to Xperia
banner2.png

AOKP is an awesome custom Android firmware. (just like MIUI and CyanogenMod).
AOKP is based on AOSP and looks as vanilla as possible, and focusses on lots and lots of user-friendly features. What makes it different from CM is that there are many more user-customizable features.​

KANGXPERIAPROJECT
This ROM is a combined work of all members of KangXperiaProject.



AOKP is not officially supported on any of the Xperia smartphones. So we made a Kang XperiaProject team comprising
Supervenom , Championswimmer, Pikpok, mikegapinski
We maintain sources from which we build (not winzip porting) AOKP for all the Xperias.

We are not any great developers (all teenagers). We are just trying to provide users with more ROM options :)
Our work is not possible without using sources from FreeXperiaProject, and CyanogenMod project.

Changes to the UI / framework / functionality of the ROM is the work of Team Kang

EDIT: Ok, it didn't..

tested since yesterday, wifi working now, will test more intense today, but i have lot of random reboots, do i need format system before installing?
did the usual things: wipe system, cache, dalvik... rom is fast
thanks for your work

Edit: phone is rebooting randomly very often, it happens regardless what i´m doing with the phone will try to re-install and format system before
Edit 2: not possible to connect sd card through usb to pc, same in recovery, reboot to recovery does not work, formating system does not change random reboot problem
back to stock for a while :(

Re: [AOKP][JB] Xperia V - KangXperiaProject - [Milestone1 - R2]

1 question. When do you plan on releasing an update? I'm not asking for ETA but when. Like once a month etc.

now that again is asking for ETA only :p

well see the thing is, i am trying to decide whether to provide an update here or straightaway release 4.2
4.2 can be released but i need to redownload all the sources, and set up the environment
on the other hand on 4.1 i am still working on the camera,

there will certainly be something within 2-3 weeks

i'd prefer 4.1 but with working camera and external sd. but if u can do the same with 4.2 - it'll be better.

well, the phone doesn't even boot. and there's no even backlight or bootsplash. just blank screen.
hmm yeah.. just tested myself..
the kernel's screwed ... the rom is fine as i see it

gotta turn into bed myself... but can someone check it with the CM10.1 kernel and see if it works ?

    as with all Xperias, the camera library (/system/lib/hw/camera.xxxxx.so) comes precompiled in the Sony stock ROMs in such a way that it does not depend on many other precompiled libs and can work with generic AOSP function calls.
    So using stock camera libraries in AOSP source tree works like a charm usually (yes USUALLY)
    For the Xperia V, right now, the stock camera blobs are not working. There is usually nothing like "debugging" on a blob. because it is a compiled blob and you cannot look into it's code.
    I admit I have been a little lazy to actually try the camera blobs from the 4.1.2 release (yeah burn me for that :p ;) but honestly I didn't had time for that last week) I will give the new libs a try
    Also we are using a kernel source based on the T's 3.0 kernel (and not the 3.4 kernel that the V ships with even in it's 4.0.4 firmware) so maybe there are issues there too. Well anyways I'll see what best can be done :)

    Release is coming in a few days. I am trying to add some fancy features into the kernel before release :p (governors, schedulers, voltage control etc that users like a lot to play with)
