Why do you need recovery for an app? At this time we don't have kernel source and it is highly suggested not to use any ics recovery to do anything for the sake of bricking your device. There are ways of flashing things from recovery but you will need to flash a gingerbread kernel to do it, then either reflash the rom without wiping so your set up stays or flash an ics kernel.

Can someone who has uses CM9 Alpha 2 tell me how this rom compares? I'm tempted to give it a shot...looks like kbizzle is on top of his game and really maintains this badboy

Yeah, I maintain the thread. Erick is the mastermind behind the rom.

If you like CM9, you're gonna love aokp. Or even one of Ericks other iterations, ie... CNA, gummy...

Besides the features inherent to AOKP (more custom features), here's my take on the benefits one has over the other:

AOKP Build 32 - USB native tethering in settings works. Vibrate + Sound notifications works (some reason with CM9 Alpha 2 only one or the other would work, not both at once). Seems a little smoother (could be just because I just flashed a new rom and did format all). Ran Temple Run for 20 minutes without it crashing and locking up the phone (I'll play more tonight to make sure it's definitely not a problem). Ability to underclock.

CM9 Alpha 2 - 4G Wimax toggle (man, I sure wish AOKP has this!), Ability to install apps that installs to sdcard natively without having to use any fixes or tricks.

I can't get vibrations to work on Build 32 at all, other than incoming calls. Any idea why???

I appreciate the serious answer. I actually had read that earlier but wasn't thinking I guess. back to a fresh wipe.

Thanks for putting together this little list. Just some comments. I'm pretty sure that vibrate + sound work with CM9 Alpha 2 although I will have to confirm that. For me personally that isn't a big deal either way. As far as Temple Run I experienced the freezing as well. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it has been running fine now for a few days w/o one freeze.

You mentioned one of the PROS of CM9 Alpha 2 is the ability to install apps to SDcard natively w/o any tricks, however, I went through the options very closely and haven't found this feature in CM9. You can go to Settings>Apps and then choose which apps you want to put on the "SDcard" but they are really going to the Internal SDcard and not the External SD card.

All in all these both seem to be in the same ballpark...IMO it really comes down to which of these two projects is more active and offers more support.

Oh my giddy aunt this ROM rocks. And I don't really understand the SD Card read problem that is stated, My phone reads the SD card fine, no third-party app required. Is the problem discussed just with USB Mounting? or am I just a lucky bastard?

Everything I've tested so far is working perfectly with me. SD, netflix, video camera, setting wallpapers, notifications, GPS lock. All that is left that I had trouble with on other ROMs is Keyboard manager, but I think that is more app related than the ROM.

I just wish there was an option in the AOKP Settings to change the font face, not just the style, and also a 4G toggle switch. Thanks to everyone involved!

Before I say any of this I just wanna make it a point that I absolutely love cyanogen but aokp is the kind of rom that makes you think "wow android is cool!"

Sorry if this has been covered, but do the capacitive buttons stop working randomly on this rom? Haven't been able to find a way to control them or turn the back on.

Very sorry if its been covered, I can't search the thread on the xda site from my phone, it won't let me.

    AOKP ICS 4.0.4
    This is a Port of AOKP, not built from source yet, but still awesome.
    Thank you: AOKP Team, T.C.P., Sbrissen, marcusant, Calkulin


    DISCLAIMER: Flash at your own risk. DO NOT USE AN ICS RECOVERY TO FLASH THIS ROM. It has been known to cause bricks. Not responsible for damage done to your device or the zombie apocolypse.

    Screenshots


    I want to make sure this is clear, T.C.P. is the man that brought us AOKP. He is the sole developer here. I am just a simple man that likes to add the little stuff to help him out and provide support. So for the new folks or those that want to know, this started in the General section. I brought up AOKP and T.C.P. was on it in a flash and was kind enough to keep updates as the AOKP team updated their ROM. Eventually its popularity brought it over to the Dev section and here we are now. So please, be so kind as to throw this good man some bones for his hard work. He is having some issues with his dev machine at this time and any little bit will help so that he can get it fixed and keep us updated with this outstanding port. Thank you to all and Enjoy!

    T.C.P. has become a victim of a brick. Please donate so that he continue his awesome work for us. Donate link is below. If it isnt working at any time, let me know.




    Changelog:

    Bugs:
    No 4g ( will be in next build fom source) - Fixed again. Build 32 04/16/12
    MMS - wont receive ( easy fix but forgot to add it :/ ) - Fixed
    Youtube - Green line and blue tint. Still works though. - Fixed
    SD not recognized by gallery and music app. Thank you sbrissen
    Data loss when transitioning from wifi to 3g. Thank you sbrissen
    GPS file missing Added in 03/15/12
    No camcorder - Not til source is available. - Appears there may be a work around. - Fixed
    Video playback via browser not working. - Fixed
    Theme chooser causes bootloop.

    Install instructions.
    I always recommend a fresh install when moving to a new update. Once we have official release and recovery support, I will include an update instruction.

    -Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN
    -When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.
    -Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache
    -Flash ROM
    -Flash Gapps
    -Reboot

    Some reports state that it may need a second flash of the rom to get it to boot. So if your initial rom flash is really quick, flash the rom a second time, right after the initial flash.

    Kernel - Optional
    Some are still having data loss. Its minimal but it may be kernel related. So as we get new leaked kernels, they will be posted here so people can try them.

    Tips & Tricks
    Disable Hard Keys - Thank you -EViL-KoNCEPTz-, swampgoblin
    Make sure you enable the Nav Bar in Rom Control BEFORE you disable the Hard Keys
    - Download ES File Explorer
    - Go into ES File Exploerer settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System
    - Locate file sec_keylayout.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
    - Open it with ES text editor
    - Delete the four lines of code and save. It will automatically create a back up of the file and will now be called sec_keylayout.kl.bak. If you want to re-enable, just delete sec_keylayout.kl and rename/remove the .bak from the back up file.
    Currently the backlights have been turning themselves off anyway but if you want to make sure they stay off, go into system settings>display>custom backlight settings and enable Use custom. Then select edit other levels and make sure the buttons column are all 0. Save & apply.

    Workaround to mount both SD locations on your PC. Use Multi Mount from the Play store. - Thank you Killaphatboy

    Workaround for sd_external. - Thank you gershee
    ***FIX***
    - Download/install DirectoryBind http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
    - Set up the source and target directories. (source: /emmc target: /sdcard/external_sd). save.
    - Click on the little floppy disk on the left of the field you just added, it should turn green. this enables it!!!! don't skip this! it must be green for it to be enabled.
    - Goto preferences and enable "Bind on boot"
    profit. 
    gallery and music now work.

    It appears that you may have to rescan your media for this to work for some. If you are having problems with this working, try downloading Rescan Media in the market.

    Alright Guy's. I can't stop thanking you guys enough. I have received 220 in donations. More than enough for a phone. Just deposited it to my bank account and should be all set Sunday at the latest. Again thanks a whole bunch. And expect more updates from me and Team Nocturnal. Again thanks from the bottom of my heart :cool:

    alpha incoming within the next 2 hours.. that is all

    Umm...ahem..*cough*, I don't want to turn this into a ***** / flame session...BUT-

    This IS a fair question. It might be annoying to see every few posts..but it is fair. A good number of people donated cold hard cash for a new phone and while it DOES NOT entitle us to any expectation of receiving something at a certain time, it would be the right thing to at least get an update every few days. He did post several days ago that it was coming same day..so it's not out of line here.

    I'm happy to wait however long it takes, but communication is key. I'm not saying we should expect a book, but a line or two of status isn't that hard. (Please?)

    Whoa. I really don't think you should have thrown the donation comment out there. If you believe it doesn't entitle you to anything then you should have never brought it up. With any type of work, unforseen errors can occur at the last minute. While I obviously don't get to see Erick face to face I do know he will go silent even with me while he is busy. When you are determined to make sure things work properly, everyone has their own way of coping. This kind of work can work the mind to the point of pure frustration. Erick will get it when he feels it is ready. Just because he doesn't keep a blog of everything he is running into, doesn't mean you can start rambling off mad because he isn't appeasing you. I am pretty sure that Erick has brought plenty to the table to deserve any donation you sent him. Now I ask that you stay on topic and be patient. Thanks.
