Introduction
AOKP is a ROM developed by TeamKang, based on AOSP with magical unicorn bytes (awesome features) baked right in!
hlte builds are for hltexx/hltespr (SM-N9005/SM-N900P)
hltechn builds are for hltezm (SM-N9008V)

Features

• Android 8.1 Oreo
• OMS/Substratum Support - Theming baked right in
• SU baked in - No need for SuperSU/Magisk (Unless you want them!)
• ROMControl App - A centralized place to manage all almost all the cool features Magical unicorn Bytes!!
• More features coming soon! (P.S. Asking for ETA's is bad, unless you like NOT getting new features! )

Known Issues

• Bluetooth does not work with some devices - This is a known issue that also affects LineageOS-15.1 Fixed?
• You tell me! I have limited testing time, so the more reports I get the better. Please see below for proper issue reporting!

Proper Issue Reporting

• Make sure you are seeing the issue on a CLEAN install! If the problem pops up after a dirty flash, wipe data/factory reset and see if it still happens before reporting it
• Make sure you have not flashed anything extra, such as 3rd party kernels, SuperSU, Magisk, Xposed, etc. These extra packages can cause their own issues. As above, try a full wipe and then only flash the ROM package and Gapps package, and see if the issue persists before reporting
• In your report please include the following:
  • Issue you are seeing, and how to recreate it
  • Logcat/kmesg from right after the issue if possible
  • Build date of ROM you are running
  • Gapps package you have installed

Installation instructions

• Backup your data! (nandroid, TiBu, etc.)
• Wipe Data/Factory Reset (You did backup, right?)
• Flash ROM
• Flash GAPPS
• Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
• Reboot

As far as an update schedule goes, I will TRY to do weekly builds with the latest commits. I will also TRY to pull in pending commits when possible, assuming I can get them to build.

 

[jprimero15]

Nice.. Keep it up :good:

 

[Ottobrerosso1977]

Sorry, can you tell me if the NFC and Bluetooth calls work? Thank you

 

[shane87]

Sorry, can you tell me if the NFC and Bluetooth calls work? Thank you

I don't know about nfc, as I never use nfc, but I can confirm that Bluetooth calls work, at least for some Bluetooth devices. I have a Plantronics Legend bt headset, and I can make Bluetooth calls on it. With that being said, I have received reports of some bt devices not working, so ymmv

 

[Imprezzion]

Button backlight, just as in Nougat AOKP, doesn't work at all. Only in the button settings menu does it come on. They work fine on RRO or LA15.1.

That's what i've found so far.

I'm testing your build to see if the infamous rotation bug from LA15.1 and RRO is present in AOKP and so far it looks good but i need more time to test it.

Running clean install of AOKP with internal root and 23-04 GApps Mini FYI.

Thanks for the report! I'm aware of the button backlight issue as well, I didn't include it in the know issues since it was a carryover from Nougat. I have had a report of rotation issues from Oreo builds, not sure if it affects everyone or just some people, but I am looking into a fix by trader418 that was mentioned to me. By LA15.1, are you referring to LineageOS 15.1? I'll see if I can dig something up on the button backlight issue.

[Edit]
Also, the GApps Mini you are running, is it from OpenGApps?

[/Edit]

Yup OpenGApps Mini. And yeah i meant Lineage. It for some reason always autocorrects a single letter L to LA..

I don't know what the rotation issue is. I mean, some people have it a lot, like me, and some people like vidwhal himself cannot for the life of them recreate it. It has something to do with the accelerometer that just stops giving any values. And so far, it seems that your AOKP build is the most stable so far in terms of rotation. I'm going to continue to set up the ROM with my apps and preferences and i'll see if it keeps working.

Edit: Blast it.. it looked so promising.. didn't have any rotation issues for hours.. and suddenly out of nowhere it stopped working again completely and accelerometer has once again stopped giving any values in Sensors Mutlitool...

Ok, what did i do.. ehm.. installed some apps like chrome, and substratum.. customized my homescreen with the shortcuts i use.. loaded up BigBlu in substratum (works perfectly with AOSP mode btw.) installed adaway (root), used titanium backup (root) to restore my Steam app (so that I don't have to re-activate the steam authenticator), loaded up adaway and thats when i noticed chrome had stopped rotating when i wanted to test adaway..

Was about to reboot into recovery to install xposed v90 beta3 and Gravitybox O so i can center my clock in the statusbar and rebind the back button long press to flashlight but i guess that doesn't really make much sense now that it has stopped working..
Funny thing is, not even a full reboot will fix it. Once it stops working.. it's just done for. With a full power off and reboot it will work for a few seconds after boot but that stops again.

I do have to add on a positive note, i have never had a Oreo rom THIS ridiculously smooth and quick. This ROM runs amazing.. And it has VERY low battery drain when in use. It drains even slower when just using the web or installing stuff than even the best TW6.0 ROMs do.. Incredible. It easily rivals or beats RRN 5.8.5 in terms of smoothness and responsiveness.

Congrats on your new thread bro. It's getting into a right direction now @shane87. So glad to woke up from sleep and seeing the auto rotation still works.
Usually the auto rotation failed within minutes after fiddling with google maps on previous test build and on other oreo rom. Will see it further, hopefully the issue is gone for good now.
Thanks..

Edit: really a one crazy bug this sensor issue. It happening again after a reboot ?

 

[Imprezzion]

Now that you mentioned it.. I did also reboot before it happened again. It was fine for hours even after maps and setting up the entire ROM but after I applied my substratum theme I rebooted to make sure it applied to all open apps as well and that's when it started again..

I did make a full nandroid of the failed system.. So if you want me to test something I can just put that back.

 

[shane87]

You guys with the rotation bug, I'm looking in to a possible fix by trader418 that was mentioned by another one of my testers. I have to do some digging and see if I can find how he fixed it. It's so odd. On Nougat, my wife's Note 3 (my only test device) never had the rotation bug. I haven't ran Oreo on it enough to see if it has the rotation bug on Oreo, though I may do that this weekend.

One question for those experiencing the rotation bug: what model is your Note 3?

N9005 here..

 

[Imprezzion]

I have zero issues on any Nougat ROM as well. That's what makes it frustrating to fix.

Mines also a N9005.

 

[Kalhan]

I cannot flash the patched zip file by dual boot patcher
It gives this error logs attched
Im using latest twrp 3.2. thanks

From the errors given in the log, the multiboot patcher did not patch the zip file correctly. All of the errors were from the zip file being corrupted. So either the file was corrupted during download, or during patching.

With all of that being said, I can't help with issues on dualboot setups. I have never used any of the dualboot setups. Any issues with dualboot need to be taken to the dualboot thread.

 

[zeusseuz]

thanks good as a daily driver already

 

[Par.10]

Works with N900T?

 

[shane87]

Works with N900T?

No, N900T has it's own device tree and separate builds. This is for hlte devices, N9005 and N900P

 

[shane87]

Alright guys, I have been doing some digging into @trader418 and I can't find anything in particular that helps the rotation bug. In his unofficial Lineage 14 thread, he mentions some cm/los updates that fixed the rotation issues, but doesn't mention the exact commit. Also, it sounds like those changes should already be in these builds, since AOKP's hlte device trees, and kernel source, are forked from LineageOS trees. And I do make sure to pull in the latest LOS changes. So I am still stumped on the rotation bug. On to better news. I have just finished a new build, with the latest AOKP changes synced in. I also pulled in some open commits that add customizable header image support. Along with a few open commits from LOS, mostly to do with phone call audio, so hopefully that may help with BT issues. I am going to do some personal testing before I upload, so be patient, new goodies are on their way!
