Jelly Bean 4.2.1-Based AOKP Available for Nexus Devices




We had to start over again because of 4.2. It was a tough decision but in the end we managed to forward-port most of our features and here we are with our first 4.2.1 based build.
Following Google’s original branch name our releases will have a version string of “JB-MR1”, eg. aokp_device_jb-mr1_build-x.
In this initial release we focused only on features – hence the short device list -, porting comes next.
Devices
  • maguro – Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
  • toro – Galaxy Nexus (Verizon)
  • grouper – Nexus 7 (WiFi)
  • mako – Nexus 4

Features
  • General UI
    • Custom boot animation
    • Custom carrier label
    • Notification background
    • Statusbar brightness slider
    • Recents RAM Bar & Kill All button
    • Power menu options
  • Lockscreen
    • Customizable text color
    • Volume wake & music controls
    • Allow any kind & unlimited number of widgets (new)
  • Navigation Bar
    • Fully customizable NavBar (buttons, color, transparency, widgets, etc.)
    • Menu arrow keys while typing (new)
    • Customizable NavBar Ring
  • Statusbar
    • Battery indicator styles
    • Clock styles
    • Signal styles
    • Statusbar transparency (new)
    • Customizable Statusbar Toggles (new, based on Google’s tiles)
  • LED Control
  • Custom Vibrations

    • Less frequent notification sounds
    • Headphone action
    • BT connect action
    • Flip action
    • Quiet Hours (CM)
    • Disable safe headset volume warning (new)
  • Themes support (multi-user support still buggy, use at your own risk)
  • NFC Polling modes

We’ve also added lots of bug fixes since Google’s official release, and of course ported our previous optimizations/tweaks as well.
Galaxy Nexus builds ship with LeanKernel 5.4.0, Nexus 4 & 7 come with the stock kernel from Google.
You need to WIPE! In all cases for this build. Period. You also need to update your recovery (TWRP recommended) to the latest version before flashing if you don’t have a 4.2+ based ROM on your device yet!
Don’t forget to flash the Google Apps package after the ROM: Goo.im Downloads - Downloading gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
The team will get back to the usual (bi)weekly release schedule once more devices have been added.
Expect support for Galaxy S2-S3-Note variants in the next build.
