Seriosly? Lol, edit the zip before you flash it if it bothers you that much. Don't ask a dev to change his ROM just because you don't like something, how selfish. Plus this isn't something he's making from scratch, it's ported from a team's official builds. So if you want it changed it really needs to change all the way at Team Kang. Again, how selfish. Dev's put forth hours of work for us and you're asking him to change the setup for something that takes you a few seconds?

/rant

Launchers are personal preference, therefore it is up to you to have the preferred launcher. Why try to force your choice on everyone else? (Unless you're the dev. Then you deserve to force lol)

Wow wow wow...
Why are you getting so angry about this.. I am just asking a question and you are being a total ass about this... you could also have awnsered with..

Launchers are of personal preference, the dev likes nova so exclude it yourself..

But nevermind the question some people just don't know how to react to a person his question......

Edit: Also I said if he COULD not that he SHOULD.

I'm not, just saying. I didn't flame all up or anything, and I make sure never to get worked up over online stuff.

But a ROM is usually a dev's personal work and what they use every day, why would you ask them to change anything that isn't bug-related?

Nothing personal in all this. But it's constant requests like these, and bug reports without reading the rest of the thread that causes dev's to get fed up and drop devices.

I guess I'm just trying to say please respect the dev's and their choices, I'm not trying to say don't ever ask a question and I'm not trying to hound you.

That can easily be turned around and one could say "It's rants like yours that drive users away which support sites and development for devices."

What's worse, someone asking a question already answered or the 200 people responding with "RTFM!" and "That was already answered moron!"

I'd say the latter.

Nova Launcher is included in AOKP sources, so it is a part of rom and will not be removed. Like someone else said - you can edit update zip before flash or ignore it and just make your favoured launcher as default.

You kids need to put your money where your mouth is.
Attached is a flashable zip that removes Nova. A bit excessive maybe but hey, just flash it after you've flashed this ROM & you're good to go ;)

FOR THE RECORD though I personally love and use Nova Launcher Prime (with Andromadus) so I have a flashable zip I use that removes Trebuchet, stock Music and GooManager :D

as mentioned, start up scripts are not holding effect.

will reflash later today.

There is a problem in ROM Control which is causing this.

Fix:
Copy attached liberty.cfg to /system/etc and change its permission to rwxrwxrwx (777). Reboot and tweaks should now works fine. I will fix it in next build.

liberty.cfg - http://sourceforge.net/projects/aokpforvision/files/liberty.cfg/download
----------------------------------------------------

:
If you want to enable swap, just put your renamed to e.g. "97swapon" [number is important] script to /system/etc/init.d and change its permissions to rwxr-xr-x (755). Enable sheduled tasks option is used to enable cron jobs, not your startup scripts.

swagger toggle is part of the Systems P1MP protocol.
careful though, leaving it on too long may over-swaggulate your phone.

thnx for liberty solution.

About schedule, my mistake.. :) cron is cron...
btw. is there any possibility to edit rom ROM Controls cron jobs, or this is only the option to enable, and all jobs we need to ad to cron from terminal.

About swapin file.

I have made a script in init.d - 97swapon
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
swapon /sdcard/swap.swp
echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

swap.swp was created by swapper and works when swapon runned from terminal, but the problem is that comand from 97swapon arent executed - one of this commads arent runed on init. Any idea?

Please paste here result of command:

And tell me did you change permissions for 97swapon file to r-xr-xr-x (chmod 555 /etc/init.d/97swapon)?

Here you've got instructions to enable init.d on that rom:
1) Put that file - http://sourceforge.net/projects/aokpforvision/files/install-recovery.sh/download - to /system/etc and change permissions to 777
2) Put that file - http://sourceforge.net/projects/aokpforvision/files/sysinit/download to /system/bin and change permissions to 755
3) Add some file to /etc/init.d (e.g. your 97swapon) to test if it works (it was working for me in that way when I create some foo file on /data using init.d script, so it should work).

If it helps, please, write it here ;)

I've also had the keyboard freeze bug. It seems to be related to haptic feedback. Yesterday, I was using voice typing and had to delete a word and the phone froze, forcing me to pull the battery. Upon booting I tried it again with the same result. A little later though, I used the search bar using the virtual keyboard in portrait mode and it locked up again. I turned off "Vibrate on Keypress" in keyboard settings and now it seems fine.

Unfortunately I don't have a logcat yet. I'll try to get one later today. Despite my sig, I am using this ROM.

weird... i'm trying that voice typing now in the message apps... no problem at all... and my keyboard is having haptic feedback on...

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Okay, so I think that tile rendering is a suspect of problems with menu and system hang up.

Fix:
Open /system/build.prop using e.g. Root Exlporer or adb pull and push, type hash (#) before line "debug.enabletr=true" so it will be looks like:
#debug.enabletr=true
Or change true to false and save file. Reboot phone and problem should disappear.

It will be fixed in next build.

iDAREK:
I will look on it after weekend, now I don't have a free time.

bro, i would like to ask for a favour... can you included a tweak in the Performance Menu, Set CPU??? I would like to have a sleep setting, i think that would help a lil on the battery performance....

Thank you for your ROM like it very much...


BTW what is the setting that you are having??? My setting is as per below...
Version : 14-05-2012 / build 35
CPU : 1024 max & 245 min (Scaling Governor : Smartass V2)
Free Memory : 50MB

I just purely playing with the ROM, RAM & CPU but do not have either EXT4 / others partition in my SD, or any SWAP / others options...

the rom still has a lil hiccups (lags here and there) but not affecting the overall performance...
I'm quite a moderate to heavy user, as battery life drops like hell when i try to use Waze (traffic and navigation apps, which uses GPS and Data like Trapster)...
Keyboard typing in the message is a lil slow in responce, but still can live with it especially you have to speak to type function :)
got a few freeze after 2 days of usage, mostly on Waze usage and Message, BTW message starts a lil slow sometimes it just couldn't load up maybe i have quite a numbers of SMS...

at the current moment there isn't any other than that...
my most frequent apps use is K9 Mail, Gmail, Whatsapp, Viber, Camera (gallery too), phones of course and a lil facebook & twitter...

Very thnx. I was to curios to do not try this, but not... it's not working... but I drop this from 2 reasons.

1. Becouse of problem to run start script. So I decide to use Swapper2 (not swapper) even that this is limited to 256mb of ram.
2. This metod isn't good also, becouse there is problem if you unmount sdcard when connecting to computer. Swap cannot be reinitialised. Swapper2 have option to reinitialise swap in that situation.

Just wanted to chime in....I have been running b36 with screen density at 190. Lovin it! None of the problems I was having at 160 with the phone and the size of everything at 190 seems to be just right. One question, is there a way to turn off track pad wake? Thanks for the awesome ROM!

    I would like to present you Android Open Kang Project builds for HTC Vision.

    Rom is based on Android 4.0 (ICS) and have a lot of customization options.

    It's also DEV thread, so if you have a some problems with rom, first, try to find fix by yourself. If you can't - add post with description of your problem and LOGCAT.

    Any help is welcome :)

    I don't do this for any purposes, I just want to learn something new, so if you want to thanks thnk about AOKP Team and/or Andromadus Team :)

    Special thanks goes to AOKP dev team (Team Kang) and Andromadus Team!

    What's working:
    - everything should be fine

    What's not working:
    - waiting for feedback -

    FOR USERS EXPERIENCING WIFI TO DATA SWITCHING ISSUES WITH THEIR CARRIER ONLY : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701467

    Try some themes for your AOKP: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=aokp+theme&c=apps
    If you're installing it for first time (coming from other rom) do FULL WIPE.

    Remember: I'm not responsible for any phone bricks, tornados and diarrheas. You are doing it for your own and your warranty is void now.

    How to install:
    1) Put rom and GApps on your sd card.
    2) Go to CWM (or other) Recovery.
    3) Do a nand backup.
    4) Do a full wipe (fist installation - coming from other rom) or just wipe cache/dalvik cache (update).
    5) Flash rom.
    6) Flash GApps.
    7) Reboot (first boot can take a while).

    How to enable TabletUI
    1) Open ROM Control and enable Navigation Bar, but don't reboot phone now.
    2) Change LCD Density to any lower than 171 (e.g. 165 / General UI).
    3) Reboot your phone.
    4) Wipe Google Play data.

    Note:
    If you want go back to Phone UI just change LCD Density to any higher than 179.

    - as always, tons of other device-specific and internal changes, find them all at http://gerrit.sudoservers.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z

    a note about linaro (warning, tech mumbo jumbo ahead)
    These builds do NOT include the new Linaro optimizations. The optimizations don't increase the speed of Android by 100%, nor do they inject butter. They use a newer toolchain to compile Android, which has more optimizations. The Linaro people have also made the proper changes in Android code to allow builds to be compiled with -O3 instead of -O2 flags (think of it as another pass of code optimizations).

    Please do not ask us whether we will include them in the future. We like speed as much as the next guy, but we want to make sure that it doesn't break ANYTHING. When/if it's ready, you'll know.

    Enjoy!

    Here we go again - AOKP for Vision is back ;)

    There is no changelog for now, because it is initial and very eraly/nightly release. AOKP is based on Android 4.2.1.

    So you are flashing it on your own responsibility - full wipe is required.

    There could be some bugs. All things like calls, sms, mobile data, wifi, gps, camera (when using stock app there are stripes on picutres, but with 3rd party app pictrures are clean), camcorder, webkit etc should work.

    Thanks goes to:
    Flinny, Juansheng (cn.fyodor), Darkspadez and rest of Andromadus Team
    Android Open Kang Project Team and CyanogenMod Team

    Okay, finally I've found a poblem which causes camera FC's. So probably new build will be ready today.

    After that I'll resync with JB repos and start to work with AOKP based on Android 4.1.
