News : AOKP Fresh Build Rollout With Jelly Bean 4.2 - Build 1 For Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 And Nexus 7 Available Now

Good news, ROM enthusiasts: the Android Open Kang Project has released the much-anticipated first build of 4.2. Bad news: it's a completely new ROM, built from the ground up. That means that it won't be quite as feature-packed as you remembered, and device support is limited to the more popular Nexus models, at least for now. You'll also need to install a recovery that's compatible with 4.2 ROMs (the latest ClockworkMod and TWRP should do the trick) and do a full data wipe of your previous ROM. Warm up Titanium Backup.

For the MR1 release, only the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon and GSM flavors), Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 builds are available. On the bright side, most of the customization functions have already been brought over to the new builds, including customizable Navigation Bar targets and the like. The AOKP team even managed to cram a few new features in there, including unlimited lockscreen widgets, statusbar transparency, and fully customizable 4.2 statusbar toggles. The only real issue with the ROM so far is spotty support for the new multi-user function.

Downloads for the MR1 release and Gapps can be found at the link below. The next release, which should come in 2-3 weeks, will (hopefully) add support for the more prolific Galaxy phones.

[ROM][Nexus 7] Jr12 **WiFi** (JOP40D / 4.2.1): MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Nexus 7

 

---

  

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom Jelly Bean ROM for the WiFi Nexus 7! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know. 

About MoDaCo Custom ROMs

MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs. A MCR release is designed to feel like a stock ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!

MCR Nexus ROM features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake:

• Based on the 4.2.1 / JOP40D release, updated, rebuilt, compressed and optimised with the MCR build system.
  
  Quote:

  For this MCR we've used the latest available shipping ROM, updated with all the latest versions of the installed apps, which we've run through our scripts to ensure that it is as optimised as possible both for install / download size and real life performance.

• De-odexed... re-odexable.
  
  Quote:

  Our ROMs are de-odedex, giving you the ability to flash other mods over the top, tweak the system and generally get the system set up as you want it without worrying about odex issues. We also include the 'OdexMe' application, which lets you odex your system when you're ready, saving valuable space on your data partition.

• Pre-rooted
  
  Quote:

  All MCR ROMs are pre-rooted with SuperSU preinstalled. In addition, the kitchen allows you to choose between secure, insecure and secure with patched ADB boot images.

• Enhanced Quick Settings
  
  Quote:

  The quick settings in Android 4.2 are cool, but limited. MCR builds include a customised version of the excellent 'Quick Settings' mod by kevdlui, allowing you to customise your toggles by holding the Settings button down. The WiFi and Bluetooth buttons are also changed to toggles - long press to access the settings menus.

• Enhanced Power Menu
  
  Quote:

  The enhanced power menu (the one that appears when you hold down the power button) has additional options to allow you to reboot and reboot to recovery.

• Apps aren't disabled on boot
  
  Quote:

  Jelly Bean added a feature to disable apps on boot that aren't intended for your region (Wallet, Ears, Magazines etc.). I think we're smart enough to make that decision ourselves right? So that doesn't happen in a MCR.

• Legacy Play Store
  
  Quote:

  Isn't it frustrating how Google removed the ability in the Play Store to see which apps you'd bought in a nice simple list? I thought so... so I created 'Legacy Play Store', which has this feature.

• Legacy browser and Flash
  
  Quote:

  Google might be ditching the stock browser for Chrome and Adobe might have canned Flash, but we still need to use it sometimes... so it's included in a MCR.

• Patched Google Wallet
  
  Quote:

  We've patched Google Wallet to remove all region and root checks, so you can have a play!

• Facebook sync support
  
  Quote:

  Google removed all support for syncing contact information via the Facebook app, we put it back. It's basic support (an app like HaxSync is more fully featured) but hey, it works!

• init.d support on boot
  
  Quote:

  The init.d directory is processed on boot, allowing our (and your) startup script to be processed before the system starts up.

• Alternative appstores (Amazon and SlideMe Market)
  
  Quote:

  The Amazon and SlideMe stores can be preinstalled, if that's where you like to purchased your wares.

• 'TweakDeck' - Tweetdeck, fixed
  
  Quote:

  Tweetdeck was great. Twitter ruined it. It's fairly comprehensively broken on Android, but we've fixed it with TweakDeck.

• Titanium Backup preinstalled
  
  Quote:

  Once you've flashed your ROM, if you've wiped you want to get your stuff back on as quickly as possible - the option to preinstall Titanium Backup is here to help!

• MoDaCo Boot Logo
  
  Quote:

  Wear your MCR with pride with the MoDaCo boot logo. It can be disabled in the kitchen of course if you prefer the more subtle look.

• And there's more!
  
  Quote:

  We haven't listed everything here because a) there's too much and B) there's things we've forgotten.

MCR Nexus 7 ROM specific features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake:

• Alternative UI options (clickable when hidden menu keys with alternate locations, search button)
  
  Quote:

  A number of different UI options are included - the default option makes the legacy menu button available on both sides of the screen for easy reach and also keeps them active when invisible, handy if there's a pesky menu button at the top right that you can't quite get too! You can also bring back the good old search button. In stock Android the navigation bar always stays at the bottom - in the kitchen you can choose to have this move to the right. Finally, percentage battery meters are also included in stock style and round style.

• NFC on screen off
  
  Quote:

  If you use NFC tags to set profiles or similar, then the option to enable NFC on screen off might appeal to you. Be aware that we haven't benchmarked the impact this may have on battery life as yet though!

• Stock Launcher with rotate support, Nova and Apex Launchers as options
  
  Quote:

  The stock launcher, with support for Landscape. So simple! If you're an Apex or Nova fan however, you can choose these to be baked right in to your ROM.

• Camera Launcher
  
  Quote:

  In their infinite wisdom Google removed the Camera icon from the Nexus 7 - we put it back!

• Disable camera shutter sound
  
  Quote:

  You can disable the camera shutter sound - use responsibly!

Changelog

Please see the post below this one for the changelog.

Installation

To install this ROM:

• Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your sdcard.
• Restart your device in recovery mode
• PERFORM A BACKUP FROM THE MENU
• Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to the internal sd card! Remember that due to the 4.2 user changes, you may need to change to the '0' directory in recovery to find the zip!

If you have problems with Market licencing, check your device date!

First boot may take a while - be patient while it carries out it's pre-dexopt. It's worth it!

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.
