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.

Code: 
==beta1==

  4. IF COMING FROM SOME OTHER ROM, make factory wipe then go into mounts/storage and format system
  5. install zip from sd card then flash gapps if you want them (kernel is flashed automatically with zip for 2012 models, for 2011, fastboot flash the kernel)

So far so good! I'm using the FXP kernel and the install went smoothly. Now getting it setup and playing around. Nice!

Im confused, you probably cant use this unless your bootloader is unlocked, but in the steps you say "If coming from stock, flash kernel that has recovery using fastboot (not needed if you have recovery)". So does that mean i can install this along as i have access to CWM?

Sound is great. LED button lights don't work, but I don't care since they're useless in the dark anyway. It'll probably be fixed at some point!

You need an unlocked bootloader. The installer needs to be able to flash a kernel, and you can't do that with a locked bootloader.

Make your steps more clear...it says you dont need to fastboot, unless you dont have recovery. It just says you need a kernel that has recovery and we have recovery without a custom kernel, so just make your steps more clear.

sorry
i have edited one word in that makes a hell lot of a difference now :p

basicaly the instructions were written at a time when recovery was possible only with custom kernel thus if you had recovery it implied you are running a custom kernel (which means you had an unlocked bootloader)

anyways people on the forum should have realised by now that aokp/aosp/cm will never be available on locked bootloaders

There are some custom roms that port over CM9/AOKP to work with the stock kernel.

I guess the instructions could be a little more clear, but they're just saying you need a functional recovery so you can flash the ROM. The fact that it says the installer flashes a kernel is your key that you need an unlocked bootloader.

Basically you're never going to be able to run a ROM that is not based on stock because non-stock-based ROMs will need their own kernels which can only be flashed with an unlocked bootloader. So any of these ROMS based on CM, AOSP, AOKP: You can't run them.

OP does need to edit the steps involved in flashing this rom.

Also, alot of people do not know that aokp,cm, aosp. roms use kernels that are other than stock. your statement in this matter really is kind of ignorant. Like you knew this before you started messing with phone software and ccreating / porting roms.

Think of it, (no disrespect to any one), as everyone is new to the process. your steps should be clear and concise and reflect how to flash and what steps are required to make sure a fresh clean install is what the user experiences...

Just remember you were a noob at one time as well and even though you may be an experienced user or modder / creator, you will eventually run into a problem as well, and would be more apt to learning to correct the issue if steps are explained clearly to you. show others the same courtesy.

As for me, i have a locked bootloader so flashing this and fxp kernel is still out of reach for me. it will probably be another year like it was for the x10 before bootloader is unlocked...

    I did the service thing and my bootloader does say its unlocked. I remember checking for that when I initially bought the phone.

    As for this guide you're talking about, I can't seem to find it in the Q&A section. What's the thread name called?

    You cannot buy a NEW phone with a bootloader unlocked as far as I know. You will need to run through the bootloader unlock steps. It probably said bootloader unlockable= yes or something along those lines not that the bootloader is unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader is not something one so easily forgets doing. It is quite the learning process. So it seems to me that your bootloader is not unlocked but has the ability to be unlocked so go ahead and unlock the thing and get to flashing.
