4.11.2012
- Initial Release
- Android 4.0.4 / AOKP 31

- Build 31 Release 2
- Added Boot Animation to ROM

- Seems much more stable, no crashing apps. (Need Test Users to confirm this)
Release / Update News for 4.14.2012
For this update I've resynced for new commits from the AOKP repo. The new build doesn't seem to crash often like the first build. However AOKP doesn't seem to like live wallpapers. I've just noticed that if you select a live wallpaper it will freeze after a while then you try to change the wallpaper to anything else the background of the launcher will remain black. This can be fixed by restarting the phone. Or it could be something that needs more testing.
I've added in the official boot animation but it doesn't seem to fit the screen perfectly. There was a similar issue with the first MIUI build. I'm still testing to see how well GPS actually works.
So this update seems to be really fast. It doesn't seem to crash or slow down like the first build.
-See how different wallpapers behave.
-Check ROM Control options (I saw some issues with the Navigation Bar settings. I think its a Team Kang issue.)
-Stay clear of the Start-up Scripts options. It doesn't work for now.
Other than that the ROM should be much more stable and faster than the previous release. Try and give me as much feedback as possible.
Thanks
I only tried it out for a few minutes. There was no boot loop, and it seemed to run smoothly. Nice work.
Can someone put up screen shots and working and non working please?

Once I get to a desktop I'll upload some screenshots. Right now everything moves relatively smoothly but some bugs do exist. For example, spell check is not working right now and most words are considered mispelt. Also, the Play Store did not sync correctly and I had to download all apps manually rather than the automatic sync. Some usability bugs such as freezing screens do occur, but not enough to be a major nuisance. The special AOKP settings work fine. If you prefer the software buttons of the Galaxy Nexus they will work, although the action overflow button does not seem to show up in the bar and the physical menu button must be used. Backlighting on the keys works while the softkeys are enabled as well. I am yet to encounter any of the screen blowups Kemikal referred to in the OP. Benchmarks (for you benchmark nerds) will arrive with the screenshots.
Edit 1:Never mind about the later comments. Screenshots are attached.
Edit 2: Found the screen blowup in the battery portion of the settings. Music and mic are working.
Edit 3: Once the ROM seems to run for a couple hours without a boot or anything the system bogs down and system ui crashes occur at a relatively high frequency. Home screen redraws are more prevalent than Jocala's CM9 ROM.

I've noticed there is an issue with like a sleep of death where the screen stop working randomly except you can see what's on the screen during the CRT animation.
Gerrit style bug reporting. One person to report something another to review and confirm the issue. I didn't get much of a chance to test everything before I released it.
This is in Alpha stage so expect some bugs out of it. This is built from the same source as CM9 so in theory there should have been any other than a borked camera. Yet something must have messed up during the compile process and minor parts are broken. The touch drivers were half baked. I'm assuming from your reports that somethings also wrong with the dictionary files.
Some things haven't compiled properly and they cause issues.

Camera is bad from CM9 so its the same source so its broken here too. New thread so I haven't completed reviewing the bug list.
Also, The issue with your apps not auto-redownloading from the market is something I've seen on many different ROMs on many different devices. I have no idea what causes it. I believe its more of a universal issue for Google to address.
hmm this seems nice ill try it out
Thanks for working so hard for us in making this ROM. I think that if you can get everything working on this one, I might stray away from cm9. Big thank you to jocala as well.
Thus far, the main things that I have noticed issues with are as follows:
No notification for wifi networks,
Start up tweaks do not remain enabled,
Dictionary believes that no words except for a select few simple ones actually exist.
Automatic time zone thinks I am in the middle of the Pacific ocean instead of in Atlanta, GA.
There are some other assorted small things, but I'm more interested in helping you test out the major issues.
I have not yet tested the GPS. Work and sleep make spending the amount of time I want to on these things impossible. I hope that this info is helpful to you. And thanks again.

GPS seems to be a little inconsistent for me. When I first tried the GPS, I got an effective lock, but when I used it with Google Navigation later in the day, it didn't. Has anyone else had a GPS experience?

Yeah same here. First lock was set by GPS accurate to 20 meters. Second lock in different location was set by Network Triangulation, accurate to 40 meters. Maybe its just because I'm indoors. I'm expecting to release an update on Saturday. No word yet on what might be improved or fixed.

I had this same problem when flashing to a rom, and then going back to stock. I found this solution:
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data also go to >all>market>clear cache and force close finally to all>market>clear cache and clear data then Reboot phone
2) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
3) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
4) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
5) try Installing application from market.android.com

very good,great options in rom control.
i did have a glitch,and since you asked.....
whilst connected to wifi,and using opera mobile,and,big buttons keyboard,
i attempted to type in the embedded google search box.
this proceeded to cause opera to freeze.
whether opera,or,big buttons was the cause i can't say,but the rom did not seem to like this combo.
LOL I never thought my moms phone would be getting ICS I'll flash it on her phone in a bit!
I just flashed to this rom to try it out, runs great and has very cool controls. But I still prefer CM9 AOKP feels like a overly customizable launcher but still nice!
USING A CUSTOM ROM FOR DAILY USE
Hey guys have been bitten by the Jelly Bug and decided I needed JellyBean on my Note NOW!! as a normal Android user :laugh: tried out a few ROMs out there. Finally settled on Paranoid Android JB:CM 10 Hybrid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 Its abosolutely super Hats of to Chef Utacka the daily update keeps me up to date with the developments. He has without a doubt solved the memory leak bug with JB roms. It is really smooth and the thought of going back to a TW based ROM makes me want to throw up a little
The only draw back of flashing a custom JB: CM 10 ROM on the note is that one can get a bit lost if using the note for business as all the Sammy TW Based apps dont work and some of the ones mentioned in the Themes and Apps forum are not refined, so decided to to list out a few which I personally bridge the gap on my note and help flashing the daily updates a breeze:
1) App Manager http://ow.ly/efNxe the best app to keep your apps all backed up. after a clean flash the only app you need to download is this one and it allows you to restore all the apps back. Or just download it and copy it to the SD Card so that you can install it directly after flashing the new update an re - install all the apps you need.
2) ThinkFree Office Mobile http://ow.ly/efOQn One of the best purchases I made for Rs 465/- it entirely replaces Polaris office, and is much smoother too.
3) Jotter http://ow.ly/efQ84 Does a super job replacing SNote and worth the Rs. 211/- asking price
4) Photo Editor Easy Photo Editor http://ow.ly/efQGo or SketchTalk - Drawing & Editinghttp://ow.ly/efQPD work really well replacing the sammy photo editor. I have just found Sketch talk and first few hours testing it out produced quite impressive results
5) G Tasks: To Do List http://ow.ly/efRqy syncs with Google calendar and provide the integration which is somewhat lacking in the Sammy Organizer.
6) SMS Backup & Restore http://ow.ly/efRMp for some of us who keep valuable information in our messaging app, please remember to back up all sms before clean flashing updates.
Enuf Said... our NOte is close enuf to the original but somewhat better because we dont have to wait for the high and mighty Sammy to give us the latest software
UPDATE:
App Manager failed me Twice. So shifted back to the Time tested Titanium Backup http://ow.ly/eDHzI
To find more apps to improve the functionality of our Note and make the functionality similar to stock i came across this lovely port of the samsung app store for CM 10 / CM10 based ROMs by XDA Member Amandeep Parmar http://ow.ly/eDHLD
This app store gives many App options which are not available on Google's Play store like Sketch! http://ow.ly/eDHY2 by XDA member Wabz and
Photo Desk : which allows doodling and annotating screen shots and photos, although this is a two step process unlike the single step process on the stock ROMs it is pretty easy to use and the apps do exactly what they need to.
The only thing missing was a good replacement for S - Memo which is required while taking on call memos, for now Papyrus http://ow.ly/eDIbn will have to do.
Still sticking to the Lovely work by Utacka and Paranoid Android team as my Daily Driver.. Super stuff
UPDATE: 10th Nov
Utacka's PA rom for NOte now has Stylus Gestures http://ow.ly/fb1I2 Configured them on my note as under:
Left Swipe => Emulate Back Key
Right Swipe => Recent Applications
Up Swipe => Emulate Menu Key
Down Swipe => Invoke Search
Long Press => Go TO Home
Double Tap => Jotter
Works super
I personally Love the CM 10 PA experience and just cannot bring myself to even try TW based ROMs anymore. But i was pleasantly surprised with http://ow.ly/fb1Qm The latest Stock XXLS7 Samsung JellyBean ROM by eybee1970.. I did not like that the dev says "Kernel is PROBABLY brick free. Flashed it anyway... It is smooth and stable !!
Please dont forget to Thank the Devs
Thanks
Thanks Boss really helped... wanted to flash a custom rom which was vanilla Google now thanks to this post i can do it with fraction of the time required for research :good:

Thanks to JimmyMcGee and Jared Burrows i found this app to replace Titanium backup I personally think App Manager does the trick for me but yes Titanium backup is usually the choice for Flasholics
I use Titanium Backup too....On GB first,on ICS and now on JB.
I take pro version on playstore but i not use pack restore on JB.
This app works fine everytime......
Thanks for the dev!

Its a known issue. I think he might have solved it in their 21st OKT release but if you switch off "Automatic Brightness" it should not Blank out
Nexus Redefined- Final version.
Ok, guys time for the final version of this rom. Before that let me give thanks to you all. Its now proven that this rom is one of the best roms for our device, and this is possible only because you people liked the rom. Since previous two versions were almost perfect, i made a little change in this version. Hopefully u dont have to flash anything for bug fixing or camera. I now have very limited access to my phone since i have upgraded to Galaxy Nexus, the moment i created this version, i flashed it and checked the major features like camera, GPS, wifi etc. Seems fine to me, there should not be any further issue with it now. So here i present u Nexus Redefined rom.
Changelog:
Rebase the rom with Repacked version of Nexus V2.1 made by Stas2z. Big thanks to him for some bug fixing and liking my rom.
Radio is now updated.
Updated Apollo music player and CM file explorer. Now no lag while opening files.
Removed Stock android music player and Music Fx.
Added CM DSP manager- it should give some sound boost.
Pure Audio MoD.
Many init.d tweaks like- zram,sqlite,zipalign etc.
Adobe flash player added for viewing flash enable web sites.
Stock full functioning camera, no need to change built.pro or use previous files.
Fixed uninstalling giving FC
Almost full Developer option, you can enable or disable HW coposer, enable MSA tweak etc.
3 shortcut lockscreen- unlocking, Google search and Camera.
CM lockscreen widget and Dash clock widget to choose from, no icons in the app drawer for CM widget like before.
Removed HOLO launcher, Only Stock Android Launcher is used.
Added a small alternative market for some secret apps not available in playstore- fdroid.
Changed the bootanimation to latest Google bootanimation from Google edition of Galaxy S4. Thanks Shubham Jain for XoloLiquid rom.
3G active sim card switcher
AMOI factory mode translated
ro.init.no_sim_missing_notify build.prop parameter added to disable notification about sim card not inserted

also does this have the full developer options like on nexus 4.. under settings i mean, stuff like force gpu rendering etc (ultimate v2 doesnt have it)
nexus 4 allows expanding statusbar from lock screen does this?.. (ultimate v2 messed this up)
is the dialer, gallery, contacts, .. same as in Nexus 4?. i mean are they stock vanilla apps?. (ultimate v2 has a pathetic phone app)
named nexus edition... how much from nexus .. or how stock android (vanilla) is it.. i see its a PORT.., not a home brewn ROM.. so..

Thanks for ur opinion. Actually its my first cook. and i m searching for the resources to have it look like pure vanilla nexus. i have also discussed this matter with some pals. but it seems there are not so many people at this moment willing to work on it. Besides the resources to make a complete nexus like rom is limited too. and i m not a dev. just a rom cooker. i have been asking devs for their help regarding this matter. Since its MTK 6589, its really very hard to have compile even if u have complete sets or rersources. I had a talk with Brajesh, and i m a big fan of his work. Ultimate V2 is very good rom. thanks for pointing me out the issues, i will try to do my best that is within my reach.
and for the benchmark, i checked Antutu and Quadrant, on first run it scored 13111 on antutu and almost 4000 on quadrant, something like 3983. next time when i did intalled some apps antutu scored 13093. and this rom has no sound issue like xolo stock rom.
if u have some source of Nexus goodies like phone app and the other things u mentioned plz pm me. i will try to include them in next version. and yes its a ported rom, and thats why its hard to have complete nexus feel. if there were any way to built it from source, it would have been much easier. altough currently the kernel source is out, but it still lacks some vital files that is required to have fully functional custom kernel. Untill then, i dont see any hope for USB OTG. and next version will be a bare bone one, i will not include any 3rd party app on it.
one last thing mate, if u know a very good themer who is willing to work for our device, plz ask him to Join our group on facebook. Coz i dont think there is much hope without a good themer building a complete nexus like rom.
Thanks for the feedback again.
hey, firstly im glad u bothered to reply, just um taking care of the stuff in BOLD letters, woulda been enough, yeah i now its a mt6589 and making/porting aint easy, i tried pushing nexus 4 system apps, such as phone and contacts into our phones, but. dint really work out, i think its proly because of the different hardware relating to dual sim functionality, however u could try this, holo launcher is free and looks more stock than all other launchers, we already use the normal android 4.2 icons so those look stock, a black background for settings and other system apps, and no third party apps on a fresh ROM, these few stuff would give ur ROM a proper 4.2 stock vanilla look. im not a developer but i believe u can somehow give access to the developer options in settings... like force rendering en all. i already see ur half way there, there are pie controls in ur browser, there the nexus 4.2 camera, also. if u havent already included, throw the stock keyboard away replace with the actual 4.2 keyboard with gesture input http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663 .. for audio make sure the phone sounds as good as ultimate v2 rom, the acid audio engine and some tweaks in the engineering mode helps increase volume also its easy to use Cyanogen Mod's Player, their file manager also in-cooperates holo theming and looks really stock.. all of these u can get from xda pages. i could help with links if u want, for theming, could be clear of what sort u want, cause we already have a vanilla looking status bar, notifications, icons n stuff.. i mean our framework is already vanilla themed. nexus 4 wallpapers, roms, are all over the internet in case u need em for anything, with ur current ROM, and with the stuff above.. WERE NEARLY THERE. stock JB 4.2 clean NEXUS experience thanks to u
luv ur work , thanks for the ROM mate

Thank u for the encouragement bro. i have gathered some of the required resources. i just need to change the bakcground settings to black like brajesh's rom. His base rom is also very good, but i preferred this base because of multilanguage support and ofcourse it doesnt show the ugly 'G' mark. now come to the point. if u have anything in mind u want me to include in it, u can give me a list and it will be great if u provide the link also. next version, i will be using 2 launchers, Stock Google launcher and Holo launcher. so that users can choose. i also tried to push the dialer and phone apks into the system, but it force closes. i dont know how to fix this. may be its beacuse this rom is still deodexed. and about the music player, i m planning to use stock android music player and also i dont know why u liked Cyanogen file manager. btw, i will look into it. For sound enhancement, i decided not to include ACiD mod, instead i will add 'PureAudio' Mod, i already tried it and it works very good. mean while will add some built.prop and init.d tweaks. thanks for the feedback. i m glad u liked my work.

8.Default Google Browser With Pie-Controls and FLASH if possible
9. JB 4.2 Camera With Photosphere (and gallery)
10.Init.d Support
11.Smooth Gameplay in games like Temple Run OZ and subway surfers (sucks in ultimate v2,.. stock was good)
12. For File Manager add..Es File Explorer v3.0.4 FREE from google play (Has Everything U Can Demand From A File Explorer And Looks Stock)
13.Make Sure Dialer Has Quick Dialing.. as in for calling "DAD" i can simply dial 323 (like T9 Search) (Ultimate v2 dialer isnt any good)
14.Do not include CHROME or any heave gapps.. users can download em
15.Stock static XOLO bootscreen no ugly animations like in ultimate v2.
16.Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture input .. link ive pasted in previous post
// Please upload in mediafire if possible, devhost is a pain in the *** sometimes
*Note. if ur using same base as ultimate v2.. please make sure to add developer options different dialer app with t9 quick search like stock xolo or any other dialer.. also check if games like subway surfers are smooth... ultimate v2 doesnt play wma files via any player .. thats another bug, u could remove the ugly G or 3G icon from statusbar by editing framework res apk

dont know brother. u can try my addons. use Fly on Mod according to the tutorial of original thread. it has many pluggins like balanced, multitasking, gaming. use gaming pluggins. this might help a bit. and make sure u dont turn on auto brightness while plying these 2 games. Auto brightness in this device is a bit restless. it tries to adjust brightness too quickly and thats why lags sometimes. setting brightness manually will solve this issue i think.

ROM FEEDBACK
Rating: 8/10!.. first ROM to have complete feel!
hey been using your ROM for a while, love the stock vanilla looks, and every basic function works well, has a complete feel.
what i like the most.. full developer options with shortcut to engineering mode, 4.2 features except cam
ISSUES:
android 4.2 default camera app with photosphere seems to be crap, photos taken are dark n bad... when compared to the stock camera app and the one in ultimate v2 rom (that was the best) solution : NONE.. i tried putting camera2.apk from ultimate v2 rom in system/app, and setting right permission but app doesnt show up.... SO I NEED UR HELP HERE. PLEASE tell me how to add that camera app instead of the one in ur ROM. thanks
gaming is stuttery ..not smooth on TEMPLE RUN 2, OZ and SUBWAY SURFERS (solved by enabling disable HW overlays option on developer options... however this option must be turned on every time the phone restarts) also UI more smooth after turning HW rendering... with these changes, gameplay is super smooth and unparalleled. PLEASE tell me a way to automatically turn on disable hw overlays option.
init.d folder is there, but flashing stuff like scripts from cwm which add scripts.. dont work, u have to manually put the scripts in place, like the fly on mod flashing failed... didnt do anything.. because scripts dont get added to init.d (solved by manually putting scripts in folder and setting permission)'
about phone shows galaxy nexus. woulda liked XOLO Q800
other minor bugs, phone or call button in dialer seems slightly dislocated or wrongly alligned,
woulda liked es file explorer over cm file manager ..also as for apollo, and cm file manager u used very early slow, pre-historic versions, these apps have been updated and made speedy, anywy thats not a issue...
PLEASE RESPOND, main priority ... is the camera problem how do i use gallary2.apk from ultimate v2 rom, (system/app ... right permissions tried already) instead of the current cam app. it sucks.
THANKS, sincere fan of urs
Regards...

Thanks for liking my rom. about the Camera, i have uploaded Stock Camera with necessary files also built.prop editing TUT. Plz check OP, they are all included in the 2nd post. i was getting way too many complaints about nexus camera and had to upload the stock ones. I tried the method written by myself and camera with gallery works perfectly fine. and About init.d, i dont know but flashing fly on mod worked on mine, i use TWRP recovery. and i agree cm file manager is slow, i collect it from XDA somewhere and some guys ported it. dont know without port it will work or not. will try it. and about ticking HW overlay everytime, i have no working solution for it for now. i noticed it on every rom that has complete developers options.

Hello guys, Honestly i dont know much about making roms. I tried many roms from here and also from different russian forums. It seems to me that the ported roms needs a bit furnishing.

I think that [ROM][4.2.2][A9][Unofficial] LiquidSmooth-JB-v2.9 (26/08/13) is the best ROM for our device ,trust me i have tried all custom ROM's available for our device , and finally this is it ! Reasons ?
It is smooth , fast , and light ,when i stop all uselles app i have over 200 MB Ram , it is good for gaming , i play games like CSR Racing ,Need For Speed Most Wanted , Blood and Glory 2,,Asphalt 8 and ohers , Swap SD compatible , Halo , and the most important thing for me is so battery friendly ,as i said i use to play games ,a lot ! and i have never had less than 1 day , with gaming,some wifi and 30 mins of calls.
[ROM][4.2.2][A9] Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 PA.AOKP.CM (23/08/13) it is another good rom for our device but it is not so good for gaming .
@CristianCRS This Rom seems even to me pretty cool...but: photos taken whit stock camera app cannot be saved in external sd. Do you know if this thing can be fixed in someways?
Thank you so much.
carbon rom
u should try out carbon rom :good:

Indeed i forgot about this ,for me it manifested in other way ,when i shoot a photo ,it takes a photo ,it saves it but i couldnt take another photo because the previous remained freezed on camera screen ,so i instaled titanium backup i unnistaled gallery ,and with this camera,and i installed a new one ,now i have snap camera with gallery because it have so much options ,but it will work any other camera app like Camera JB ,or Camera ICS, even Sphere Camera ,and Focal (great camera app but it seems that video recording is not working)
Thank you so much Cristian, I will try another camera app. Another issue: I have about 40 apps installed, most of them are greenyfied with geenify app. my free ram (even after cleaning all the apps running in background) is no more than 40-50 mb.

About this...until now i had no time to install so many apps like you ,usually i use just some strictly essential apps and games ,in total i think i have 23 apps and games installed ,i use swap sd ,and link sd ,i don't know if it will work for you ,but me after i use an app and i consider that i don't need it to run in backround ,i go to System Settings--> Apps---> and ALL tab ,i search the app ,click on it ,and then Force Close ,this methood i use on every process or program that is not neccesary to android system . And like this i have no problem with ram or unwanted battery drains.
Actually I'm using clean cm 10.1 alpha9 enhanched with TopDroid's Megaboost 1.4.
Greenyfied some apps and using SD Increase.
Not so customizable as other roms but, for now, the smoothest and faster ever.
Antutu 4 (last version) gave me 3959 as top score.
All apps working well
Free RAM always about 100/120 mb.
Battery with 3g alwys connected and medium phone usage lasts about 20hrs.
Cheers

Last night i decided to update to Clean CM 10.2 ,JB 4.3 ,and i think is the best ROM for now ! But the problem is that swap sd doesn't work ... for now ,maybe this will be fixed soon
Yeah, Ive upgraded to 10.2, too. Seems ok for now, just one issue: after replacing dsp and apollo with acid sounmod and walkman I noticed that walkman is not working. It gets open but doesn't play music files. Any solution? Maybe a walkman version for 4.3 is available? BTW great rom.
EDIT: reinstalled Apollo. I cannot find any walkman apk running on 4.3 for now.

I still not have 10 posts to reply on developer threads ,so How is working for you Focal Cam? especially video recording(for me is not working),and about walkman i don't use it so i can't help you ,sorry .
Focal crashed the first time I opened it, as like as the stock camera. At a second attempt they both worked well, so I'm gone for keeping the stock one and uninstalling focal. Dunno about video recording.
EDIT: at 480p is good, but at 720p it seems to watch a slideshow.

BLINDLY go for liquidsmooth by lolation.. best rom for our device till now..!! for camera issue you can try any other camera app instead. I found it better than carbon.

I unistalled Apollo ,for now i use GoneMAD Music Player ,it does his job :good: ,i saw recently a post about this ,and it seems that the cause is DSP Manager ... he unistalled DSP Manger and installed another one ,and everything was back to normal.
