[ROM] Android Open Kang Project - a500 Teaser [Fixed Wi-Fi!]

Not going to make this too formal. Just putting a teaser out there for the a500 users who want a taste of AOKP. Things will and are broken, namely camera and audio. This is how far I've gotten in 7 days and I had zero source to work with in the beginning. Hope you guys find it pretty good so far!
Full wipe and flash ROM.

Very, very interesting proposal. Thanks greatly for the tremendous effort. As for the broken items and bugs, how is that any different than any ASOP ROM?

Well, hey, I'll download it. You people know me, I'll flash anything
OP, you want me to PM you with feedback?
But if it be bricken me tab matey, I'll be comin fer ya
DL now. Sure is a small file??? 125mb? Sure this ain't fer a kiddie phone?

Ok, install no problems. Looks like you have the same screen artifacts on boot as the current acer boot.image
1. Reboots after going to sleep. My guess kernel
2. I get 3g (501) signal and setings menus. This means it gets a signal, knows it's there, but can't lock on to an apn. Will work with this. Have to check your xml files.
Reboot when sleep is very annoying. Means I have to keep the screen active.
What kernel (device did you get this from?

Am surprised, none of the 501 users want to get involved. Ok, so be it.

Lots of folks are probably at work still...

It's a safe flash
Just remember what the OP said. No Wifi yet.
And, as I stated, if you let it go to sleep, it will reboot. So I would like, to check GPS, which means, you have to get GPS status.apk, and install it manually
But I like the signal bar comes up. But we 501 people, have to work on this. Everybody is fixed on the 500 leak.

Well, you have a point. But, regardless, it's 21:00 in Moscow mate. And I tell you, not a lot have responded to the thread. Compared to the a500 leaked roms. See where I'm coming from?
No offense FFM
---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Ok people, I am ex military, family tradition.
I would suggest those interested, we take an issue,
1. GPS
2. Wifi
3. 3g
Forget the kernel issues for now, as it's beyond me at the time.
I'll take 3g. More experience in it. If others want to do it also, well, communicate.
Wifi, should be moderate. Mostly apks and xml.s and hopefully not kernel related (I don't think it is)
GPS will be kernel related, but in this case, because I get signal bars, I think the kernel is ok. So, apk's and xml.
This is just a starting point. And of couse, if we take the same point, it doubles the output.

ROM Control > general UI > uncheck CRT animations to resolve the reboot upon sleep issue

Just wish, the OP (Dev) would be a liitle more responsive.
Oh well, maybe we have to take matters into our own hands.
It is definately interesting. From a 501 aspect.

Let's see. I spent 14 straight hours working on this build. I posted it at 5:42 AM EST then went to work. I've had no sleep for two days now and because I don't answer for a few hours I'm "unresponsive"? Uh, OK then.

Not asking for your schedule, as we all have them. Just when you post something, you have to be prepared for immediate response. No offense intended
So, that sorted out, and others know you will respond, where do we go from here?
Fair warning, it is 2300 moscow time. I will go get some sleep. Work for a few hours in the early morning.
So, state your plan of attack.

There is much more information in every explain what happend question. So i post the rest later.
I made a blog to the results.

The blog has ads. yes thats true.
With the possible revenue i will get in action against samsung. They made me and many more users here very angry.

Is this going to work? Half of your data shows that people rooted and to be honest coming from XDA, I bet half the people that said no might have rooted as well.

At a glance, I'm noticing the trend with reference to charging, which makes me think that the stock charger could be involved in this somehow.

According to the information in the forum, I expect my S3 (Titanium Gray) to become dead in 2-3 months. Titanium Gray models arrived later on the market. Most probably that's the reason why they are still alive.
to the OP: Good luck with that

It can't be involved since there are electronics in the phone and in the battery that control the incoming current etc. They have nothing in common with eMMCs.

Battery Life

I'm curious as to the average battery life of the Moto x. I figured it might be useful to see if everyone that is willing could post a screenshot of their battery life from 100% to 1% without any charging. Also post any info on your usage for that day or so. If enough people post then we could get a really good idea of what the real world battery life for the Moto x is, helping anyone who might have issues. I just charged o/n so I'll post mine later tonight.

You're kidding right? Isn't this what you mean?

Sorry OP, but there's an extensive thread already.
You guys wonder why the forum is a mess and hard to sort thru all the repeated information. Well this is an example of why that is.

If the mods want to close the thread, no skin off of my back. I was just trying to help organize the information. The other thread is 200 pages of mess. I've tried to sift through it but it's to cluttered with off topic stuff, people's opinion etc. I thought it would help to have a thread similar to post your homescreen...except post your battery life only under these specific conditions.
I think if people are gonna come down hard on opening new topics that are similar to other ones the Mods should regulate the threads better so as to stay on topic and not let it get to >200 pages where only 20% is actually useful.

The moderators will get to it. They are busy people with lives of their own.
This topic has a thread. Do we need another one that will eventually be just as cluttered, filled with opinion...etc etc...?
You've just created clutter...not helped cut it down.
Take care!

So you created a new thread instead of reporting the old one?
Also if you want to report your battery stats just do it in the ROM/kernel threads .
This type of thread is not what XDA is about.
We do not allow the comparisons of ROMs
feel lucky we have not closed the existing battery thread already. They all end up a mess

[Q] Some simple features aren't working?

So I installed paranoid android on my nexus 4. I believe it's still nightlys. Anyways for some reason my Facebook chat heads aren't working. I tried the whole clear data thing and re installing it but it still don't seem to work. Or any chat head or floatification. If anyone knows any solutions, please help! Thank you for your time,
Cody.

that isn't a feature, that's an app. a feature would be something that's part of the rom.

Hahaha it turns out I had it turned off when using full screen apps. Is there any way in resizing the chat heads?
And thank you for your help!

With that crappy-a$$ attitude is probably why a lot of people aren't wasting their time jumping in, plus it really does sound like an Facebook messenger issue than a Android issue, thus making this the wrong place in the first place. So here's my advice, might want to check the attitude at the door ? the next time, seeing that people are taking the time to even respond, which is probably more time than you deserves given the tude you're projecting. Just my opinion of course.

its an app, if you want to use you install, if not you dont install. thats not a feature. the title of your thread is "Some simple features arent working". says nothing at all about facebook. you could have written.. "chat heads not working in facebook messenger". and yes i am helping, this way for your next thread you might title it accurately

That's a shame. My battery lasts longer now, @ only 80% full charge, than it did pre-root, @ 100% charge. And for insurance, spending $20 on a rechargeable battery back-up/case, gives me 380% of battery usage/charge. Yes, I can recharge up to 3 X's before I need to plug it into the wall. Enjoy your stock but you are really missing out.
