[UNOFFICIAL][TITAN][OMS]AOKP: Android Open Kang Project[H815][H811][DISCONTINUED]

[kessaras]

AOKP started in November 2011.
We’ve been going strong ever since.

What is AOKP?
AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project. It is a custom ROM distribution for several high-end Android devices. The name is a play on the word kang and AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The name was sort of a joke, but it just stuck, just like our infatuation with unicorns.

We fork the source code of Android that Google puts out in the open with every major version release, and we then add the magical unicorn bytes (read: we add some of the coolest features that are both useful and make your ROM awesome).

With AOKP, you can generally do a lot more with your device than what you could do with the original firmware that came installed on it.

Why AOKP ?
We were waiting for when you’d ask this.

There are a variety of reasons why a hilly billy Android user, on a bright sunny day, would suddenly start using AOKP and loving it.

For one, AOKP is lightweight. Most OEMs provide a heavy UI layer over Android and have loads of bloatware (i.e. apps that not everyone use every day, but you cannot remove because they’re “baked in” by default). Since AOKP is built upon vanilla Android source, it has neither of the above.

Also AOKP has features that you will not find on your stock firmware. You can have a multitude of toggles to quickly flip a lot of your phone’s settings right at your fingertips, or you can launch apps quickly from any screen using our Ribbons.

You can change almost each and every aspect of the OS, from its looks to the way it functions, with total freedom. And did we tell you, AOKP helps you make tacos?

HOW TO INSTALL
!!! Flash on your own risk !!!
We will not take any responsibility for bricked devices or lost data. So please watch out!

- Make a (Nandroid) Backup of your current ROM (Recommended)
- Advance WIPE -> wipe /data
- Press install and select the AOKP rom in sdcard
- Install ROM
- Install Gapps <ARM64-7.1-X>
- After flashing, reboot device (First reboot will take a while)

Whatsapp hangs on initializing screen

 

[kessaras]

If you don't clean flash don't bother to report bugs.
Also don't report 3rd party apps bugs. I'm not the lead developer of the whole planet.
Because here everything is fine and it really bothers me what you all do.
It's impossible here for everything to be fine but not in your phones.
Same thing happens in all threads. I see people blame me or my work.

Whatsapp hangs on initializing screen

Tell that to whatsapp developer I don't care. Mine here works fine.
Also whoever isn't thankful or doesn't press thanks don't even bother talking. Will be ignored.

Whatsapp hangs on initializing screen

Are you in beta program on WhatsApp? maybe that's the problem..
I was also beta tester of whatsapp, and moved back to AOSCP, but can you test this?
Leave beta program and than download and install whatsapp from paystore and try to activate

Not a beta tester; tried reinstalling - still hanging on initializing screen. Activation succeeds though.

well... as i said im not WhatsApp maintainer. i will look later for an alternative way to restore the whatsapp backup. since drive keeps backup, there must also exist a manual way to restore it.
i will keep you informed
@macpak ok my friend, I saw what's going on.
The strict security here doesn't let WhatsApp to autosync to contacts on it's own. Go to settings , accounts, press to add WhatsApp account. Afterwards return again there and enable syncing and auto syncing.
After a minute or so WhatsApp will work as it should work.

Same for WhatsApp plus

yeah , aokp is my choice for something with full customisations. it has everything. i will try 1st get official access and support and then ill start fixing all minor bugs to make it as stable as my other roms

What can I say... Too strict security here.
Try with WhatsApp plus too. Latest 6 , or any, it will ask for update anyway after it sync.

kessaras I know that's a stupid question but which rom you recommend for this moment? AOSCP or AOKP?

 

[kessaras]

kessaras I know that's a stupid question but which rom you recommend for this moment? AOSCP or AOKP?

Depends on your taste. Aoscp is pure AOSP , without almost anything to customise and aokp is full of everything but currently only with a few minor bugs not visible to the eye.
As far as I know since I use it for many days before I decide to publish it, it only has a sync problem to WhatsApp app. It needs to manually enable sync in settings while waiting for WhatsApp to sync. That's all.
Generally I never publish a rom if it's not super stable because I'm perfectionist and annoyed by stupid comments. Half XDA community blames me , haha.
If any plane falls on Big Ben in England , they will blame me again

come on man .. you are not robot. you cant go thru all settings in aokp aosp freedom v29 N and on top build a kernel. so you doing great. LOL maitaining one rom is enough to get you stressed. imagine that many.. so people please be more patient..

 

[stratonz]

Marvelous work @kessaras!! :good::good::good:
I've clean installed AOKP today, with gapps, titan kernel 1.6 (maybe it wasn't useful, but that's for sure...) and magisk. Everything seems to work perfectly and finally I can configure the navbar as I like (maybe there are some conflicts between the navbar configuration in settings and the same thing in "ROM settings", but nothing irresolvable).
The only thing I'd still like to have is the ability to show in recents only the active applications, like for the "slim recents" configuration.
After the installation of ROM etc, I've had no a problem in reinstall a hundred of apps with Titanium backup (although somebody does not recommend it...:fingers-crossed
Thanks again.

Hi kessaras ! First of all, thank you so much for your work and this Rom, its fast and seems stable. But I have small questions (btw I cleaned flashed as mentioned in OP)

Concerning WhatsApp, do you mean sync the whatsapp account in phone settings while WA's initializing ? Doesn't work for me neither (can't upload the screenshot from xda app to show you...)

Also, I'm used to the one click battery saver from notification tile, doesn't it exist in aokp or did I miss the option somewhere ?

Thanks again

yeah they haven't added that. i can add, but it will have to wait until i have time to get busy with gerrit and get official access (IF i get. proly ill get it) and then add it officially.
Now its 2 click clicking on battery and then on power save.

About WhatsApp and this stupid strict security.
I tried 3 times and could successfully sync and init with both normal and plus app.
While its trying to initialise, we go enable whatsapp sync in settings and give it access.
Then we reboot. We start the app again and wait a bit to sync.
We dont close the app at all. We let it always try initialise in the background. After we successfuly init, we do whatever we want, its going on fine.
(Also check permissions while it initialise. Give it permission to make calls if needed)

Sorry for that. When i was testing aokp i couldn't test every every function on my own. So when i decided on AOKP i didn't know it had that "bug" (if we can call it like that)
