Root AOKP Running on Evo Design

Tonight I was able to get AOKP running on my Design 4G. There is considerable lag and had to tweak the build prop file just to get the launcher to load. Still looking into it. Working on getting the phone and ata going first.

I was able to boot the EVO Shift AOKP ROM by modifying the build prop and replacing the boot.img with the stock EVO Design image...

More to come

Update: AOKP is running stable after making some adjustments....

What I was able to boot was the AOKP 6.3 (4.0.4) from the Evo Shift with the following changes:
-Replaced the boot.img with the original from the Boost Design.
-Copied using add and replace the contents of the system lib, etc, and some framework files....not real sure at this point....long day.
- needless to say there is some fat to be trimmed back out after I get everything working....Current zip file size is 192 mb
-To fix System UI force closing at start up I had to mod all the graphics related items in buildprop and there are no more force closes and no lag.
-Nenamark2 scores are around 20 vs the 25 of the stock set up so more tweaking is still needed
- Working 3g, phone and messaging
-No GPS, BT or Wi-fi

You are never going to get stuff working fully with out building from source code. How ever I will be nice and give a taste http://2fastroms.com/development/2f...uZiiOnZz/cm-9-20120808-UNOFFICIAL-kingdom.zip

Do not report issues or ask for when something will be fixed. It will be fixed when I get time to fix it. You are welcome to post a what doesn't and what does work if you like to.
What works is:
No fc's
Full ril (Phone, sms, mms) Roaming is unchecked
Wifi
Sound
Mic should work
Then not sure what else off my head.
