[ROM] kingKANG | CM11 & AOKP from Source

Goal: Provide a similar CyanogenMod and AOKP experience which I enjoy to others with the same taste

Methodology: Build CyanogenMod (latest version) locally and cherry-pick unmerged revisions so that we may have the best of the future right now. AOKP will be built straight from nightly source.

Reasoning: It's silly to wait for the next new thing...With CyanogenMod's Gerrit code review, I've found it to be nice to able to pick-and-choose things that seem beneficial.

Release Type Update 08262014
I have now listed the URL to get onto Google Drive where my buildbot automatically uploads to once finished building. These are not tested, as I can't flash a new ROM every day. However, they are a nightly build catching you up to CM11, plus whatever cherry-picks I talked about previously...This means that previous cherry-picks are maintained even throughout the nightly builds.

Second Release Cherry-Picks 08202014 [discussion begins HERE]:

Old Builds

While I do build these locally, I'm not an expert by any means. You are responsible for everything by downloading and installing this ROM. I am not liable for anything related to the installation, etc.

Installation:

Boot to recovery
- IF COMING FROM A DIFFERENT ROM: Full Wipe (Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data)
- IN GENERAL, IF COMING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THIS ROM: No wipe required (Dalvik Cache and Cache wipe recommended after installation)
  - if you have any errors, it is recommended to perform a Full Wipe and then try again
Install kingKANG ZIP
Optional: Install Google Apps
Wipe Dalvik Cache/Cache
Reboot, wait for it to load completely
Reboot again, because hey, why not?

Download:

XDA DevDB CM Download
Android File Host CM Download
Android File Sharing CM Download
MD5sum: Android File Host MD5sum generated during the build process
[*]Nightlies: Google Drive FOR CM AND AOKP [these are built nightly after 12:00AM and take roughly 25 minutes to build each, then they are automatically uploaded to Google Drive]

Nightly file formats:
CM: cm-11-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-HHmm-m8.zip and .md5sum
AOKP: aokp_m8_kitkat_unofficial_YYYY-MM-DD.zip and .md5sum

You want to download the one with the newest datestamp AND hourstamp on it.

Make sure to download Google Apps (the latest):

Thank you to CyanogenMod and its community as well as AOKP's community for the opportunity.
Thank you to XDA and the community for allowing me here.
Thank you to HTC, Google, and all other hardware/software sponsors for the environment with which we work in!

If you have any issues, please report, but do note that this is largely just CM11 and AOKP respectively with several cherry-picks to fit to my liking.

If mods have any issues, please contact me!

Any chance you can cherry pick the Call Recording feature?

Sure, I can give it a shot. From which ROM? Pretty sure it will have to be a source-based ROM.

I have it cooking up right now. Not sure if it will work, they seem a little dicey about it in the comments (having "fixes" for it and such...but I will try it!)

EDIT: Also, I'm a weirdo about ETAs...I love it when people give ETAs, but realize that I work 45hrs/wk and I am also a full-time student...Real life comes first, but I still love you guys.

EDIT2: The feature requested is in a broken status...They can't get everything to work with it, so I'll wait for a more finished one before picking it.

I remember there being an issue with the speaker phone mic not working correctly. Is this issue resolved here? Just curious.

The speaker phone microphone works afaik but the speaker phone part does not. That's what I've found in my own testing. I haven't seen anything come up in Gerrit, so maybe it is just me having that issue.

Last I saw the speakerphone issue was fixed in the device tree in the sound configuration xmls. But if its anything like it was on the m7, its intermittent. Sometimes a reboot would bring it back. It was a frustrating issue.

I built it and had to undo all of the blocks that they had for it. Uploading right now.

Hey Does HDMI work with audio?

I'm really not sure! The only response that I can think of is that if it works in the latest CyanogenMod 11 nightly that it will work here as well. Try it and see?

Thanks!

I don't think that much has been released on our side for Android L...I will look into it, though. I do have plans to contact some developers for inclusion of their apps.
