KangXperiaProject
bringing AOKP to Xperia

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.


Changes to the UI / framework / functionality of the ROM is the work of Team Kang
Changelog is released with every official build here ---> http://aokp.co

Changes specific to Xperia devices are maintianed by us here

  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)

It needs us to devote our precious time, and often we need to spend money to maintain the build machines, hosts and other stuff.

Hmm, the Xperia T is NOT on the list of the supported devices yet but "mint" is the name of the Xperia T?

If yes, is the aokp port for the xt jellybean or ics-based?

I still have one and I am very interested in this.

I have the phone and I would be interested in maintaining the tree and configs etc. I've done quite a bit of work on CM and AOKP for my other devices.

hop on !!! we need you

as you see right now we are using the cm tree directly as such... we will need to at least fork the blue-common and kernel to suit our needs...
we have our gerrit too at smartdev.com.pl:8080

since you have done aokp/cm work, you won't need much time getting seasoned i guess :)

my email is
[email protected]

add me on gtalk and PM me your email too will add you to the project

Haven't checked. Need to unlock boot loader and flash cwm first. I posted literally minutes after I got the phone lol.

Wait. How is CWM in the kernel? Is it that Xperia devices have a dual layer kernel - one for recovery and one for boot?

The Rom boots and works to the same extent as CM. right now I am strapped for time but I will help maintain the tree when I can.

Just away to send you an email.

Can I ask that you please clearly state in the OP that this work is untested by you as you don't have this device and that users may potentially have issues. This is just to cover your own back really. As I see tilal6991 will be getting involved who has the device and that's great but for the time being it's still correct that you are releasing an untested build. You'll notice on maxio's ROM thread he had to add the same which I asked him to do.

Thanks

done :)

btw i have never really worked on a device before which has spearate Dev and Orig. Dev sections... so i don't know the criteria,
but if it deems suitable, you might move this to original Dev ???
(i did not post it there right away just to be safe :) )

Thanks for doing that :good:

I'm quite lucky in that case coming from the Galaxy S2 which was the original device to get it trialled on. Check out the Introducing Original Development Forums post which gives a good breakdown of what is to be put in each section. Something like official CM10 would class as original development or Paranoid Android from the PA team. Kang's unfortunately do not class as original development unless you build this from the ground up. Hopefully you'll get what I mean from the portal post I've included :)

Thanks again :)

mine is not 'just a kang' to be honest....
it is not a straight forward compile from preexisting source.. but things had to be fixed to compile the CM10 trees with the AOKP source

the name is KangXperiaProject to rezound with the fact that we are the only, although yet unofficial, maintainers of AOKP (Android Open KANG Project) for the whole Xperia line of products.

but anyways, let's get this device forum more populated and both I and you can make better calls on originality :p
for now, even i feel it's better off not be in orginal dev. :)
