AS per data provided by AOKP, there are more than 50,000 devices running AOKP and more than 1,10,000 devices running the unofficial AOKP (aka KANG) from the code-base.
Kudos to developer at XDA Forum namely TheWhisp this fascinating and fully loaded featured rom is now available to Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570 users.
Like Cyanogen Mod rom 9.0 this also based on ICS 4.0.4, but with exceptional features and tremendous speed and performance it makes it looks more competitive and useful. AOKP project is famous and available to you on google search, so can read more about it there. so lest get back to what it has in it for
Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570 users.
Here is small change log for the rev 2 of this rom:-
The above are specific changes for since AOKP build 40. Before this many changes and improvements have been done by the developer. Latest AOKP Milestone 6 release for galaxy mini gt-s5570, packs many beautiful looking wallpapers for you to choose from.
The features such as navigation bar, lockscreen widgets, customizations of Status bar elements like battery icon and style, notification toggles show/hide feature, theme engine, etc. makes this rom really awesome. The unavailability of these options in CM9 builds at this moment differentiate this with CM9 putting this in the lead. However, we still have much to see from the developers at cyanogenmod team as CM9 is still evolving. I'm sure it'll be awesome once all the features of CyanogenMod 7 are made available in CM9.
Now you knew what it is like to have this on your cellphone so now get ready for steps for flashing of this rom followed by as usual its screenshots
Steps for AOKP Rom installation:-

It's a really nice rom. Great that we have finally a working camera in ICS! Really great work. Things that i would like te be improved:
ReplyDelete- support for S2E or darktremor or otherwise use an sd-ext partition.
- general camera support.
- overall stability after installing the camera patch (the rom became very laggy en instable after the patch).
Note: i'm not whining. I'm thrilled to see roms like this! Keep up the good work!
Yes even I am thrilled to see this rom and ur right about SD next partition support and as well ad about camera lagging all credit goes to the developers for making our device pics enabled the bugs there becoz it is in its development stage hopefully in future you will get to se more better version of it till then enjoy pics on your pop/mini
Deleteyes indeed its a nice rom things you are asking to improve will surely be a part of this rom in future but not now as it is in its development stage surely the developer will come out with better version of this rom in near future and all credit goes to developer TheWhisp with his efforts we are able to run ICS on our galaxy pop/mini wait till i post more refined version of it when it is released by the developer, till then enjoy it

ReplyDeleteWhen I boot my device after flashing this ROM, I only get the white screen booting animation which sits there for hours and does nothing.
ReplyDeleteCould you please help me? :C
My phone gets stuck on white screen when booting this ROM after flash.
ReplyDeleteIt's there for ages and does nothing.
Could you please help me?
Thanks.
did u followed the steps carefully or not. if it does stuck on white screen and then u can restart the phone in clock mode recovery by pressing the power key and a volume key together and then go to advanced and perform the wipe data and wipe cache from recovery menu and then try starting the phone wait for few minutes to make it load necessary files for booting purpose
ReplyDeleteyou do the same as i mentioned in previous comment to iquisitor
ReplyDeleteI am IQuisitor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did, I waited for minutes and minutes and nothing really happened.
I'm clueless.
it shows only the white screen is your phone under warranty or not, there is a chance that you might have bricked your phone
ReplyDeletedo the same process again you have to wait for 15-20 or sometimes 25 minutes on boot animation to let the phone upload its necessary files
ReplyDeleteHi. I am new to the android. I updated clockeorkmod to ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.8. After doing the update, the phone refused to boot. I sorted to follow the procedure given on this post and I managed half- way i.e the aokp older version managed to install ( the latest version was giving an error). gapps also did not install. so I looked for another gapps-jb-20120815-konstaKANG which installed successfully. after doing all these the phone still did not boot. what might be the problem?
ReplyDeletedid you performed the wipe cache and wipe data and where does your screen gets stuck to?
ReplyDeletedid you have a GB stock rom or not
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts about prosecutors. Regards
