Does AOKP allow adding a search softkey and changing their color to match ICS? Thanks in advance.
[ROM] Android Open Kang Project
- Thread starter greydarrah
- Start date
Yes to both - found in Settings>Rom Control
Honestly, the stock kernel is great on my phone. Stock comes baked in to aokp btw.
I've also used franco's and trinity - francos worked well for me, and trinity was a little sluggish.
Really tho, you'll have to try the kernels and see how they work with your phone, and adjust clock speeds etc to see what kind of responses you get, if you're interested in finding out the ceilings and basements your phone operates (correctly) at, and what you are looking to achieve: like performance vs battery life.
just flashed this mod - like it alot except: not feeling the green fast glow notification light (tried to change it back to white but didnt work), and wish there were icon mods to all-white or grayscale - i could find them myself i guess but im, well, lazy.
aside from that its very nice. ive been using transparent bar mods lately which look great on the homescreens, but not so good in apps such as messaging.
Here are a ton of different icons
I didn't even notice the notification light so I guess that shouldn't bother me.
sooooo many icons
Battery Life= Teribble on AOKP 21
My battery life has taken a HUGE hit when flashing AOKP Build 21! I absolutely LOVE the ROM and the features but my battery doesnt make it past 5-6 hours. What the heck is going on?
When I was on stock my battery was great. I have the extended battery and my Nexus would last me all day with moderate use. I took my phone off the plug this morning and two hours later it was down to 68%. I was on it for 5 minutes and literally saw my battery drain 10%.
Im running AOKP with the Franco Kernel 15.2. My phone gets HOT when using the device for 10+ minutes. Anybody have any advice for me or is it back to stock? Only other mod im using is for the navigation bar. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advance guys.

Re: Battery Life= Teribble on AOKP 21
Best advice I have is to wait it out for a day or two. Battery life always seems to get better a few days after I install a new ROM.
Also check your batter usage (Settings > Battery) to see what the culprit might be. Sometimes just the fact that you are playing with the new ROM more so than you did with the old one is enough to kill the battery.
Additionally, and I have nothing to back this up, it seems like actually flashing the ROM sucks up the battery too. You need to reboot, unpack the files, copy them, boot again....with a wiped dalvik which takes longer, reboot again possibly to install the kernel.....
If you haven't fully charged the battery post install, I would do that and see if there's any difference.

It's not the ROM, it's just some funky state your phone got into. I've read of success from going back into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. It wont hurt to try and will only take you a couple of minutes. You could also download a couple of free apps like CPU Spy and Badass Battery Monitor to see exactly what's draining the battery.

Re: Battery Life= Teribble on AOKP 21
I was on 21 for abt 2 days, it ran well, good battery. Then m3 came out, and ive been on that since. Battery is still good, and as its a milestone, I expect some of the bugs from 21, if there were any, have been ironed out.
Suggest milestone, clean install, and maybe try a different kernel if Franco's isn't working out for ya.

+1 to that.
I'm using Milestone 3 and Kernel 15.2 and getting great battery life so far. Granted I'm not a power user but at 1 day 14 h 11m 42s I'm at 39%

Re: Battery Life= Teribble on AOKP 21
So I just wiped the cache and dalvik as well as the Bad Ass Battery Monitor & CPU Spy apps. Hoping to get some positive results. Thanks for the advice.

Milestone... sorry for the newb question but what is that? Another AOKP build? I had a droid X before my nexus so my rooting and flashing was none. Im new to this whole arena.

Unpack files, copy them, boot again? not sure I follow. Im new to the ROM world. This is actually the first ROM I flashed.

Re: Battery Life= Teribble on AOKP 21
He's just describing what happens when you flash the ROM. Behind the scenes, the software has to be unzipped, installed, rebooting is involved. It all sucks some of your juice...just something to keep in mind when evaluating your battery life.

Re: Battery Life= Teribble on AOKP 21
My take on those battery monitoring Widgets won't help unless you have a rogue app eating battery and you need to find which it is. As I don't use a lot of apps, or dl apps i m not going to use, I don't bother with those kinds of monitoring apps bc they run constantly in the background and can actually Cause battery drain.
Milestone 3 is like a stable release of aokp, whereas the builds ate like nightlies: the builds might have new features that aren't worked out yet, etc. The milestones mark relatively stable points in the evolution of the rom. Plus, m3 is newer than b21, so it should be "better".

Oh haha I see. Well my kernel is using 18% of power. Is that normal? Its at the very top of the list of app power consumption.
