whatiskingkang.png


King Kang is essentially a hybrid ROM - its a mixture of AOKP, CyanogenMod, and ParanoidAndroid, bringing all their customizations to one rock solid and quick ROM. These numerous features combine to create a blend of features not seen anywhere else before. Make the user interface yours with this ROM. Change the DPI the ROM runs at, tweak the interface to your hearts content, while enjoying great battery life and stability. Never before have these features combined to create a ROM as feature-packed as King Kang. Credits for the features goes directly to the teams responsible - AOKP and CM for their respective work, and ParanoidAndroid for their wonderful DPI on-the-fly modifications. Without these teams, this ROM would not be possible.

Would MMS receiving work on this ROM by replacing the MMS.apk from the PA ROM?

Why would replacing the MMS.apk make any difference? From my understanding the issue with MMS and Virgin Mobile users is NOT the APNs but yet the CdmaSMSDispatcher which is not configured for Virgin Mobile.

Anyways, I don't see why BUT it is what it is.

the mms.apk from lens_flare's pa android port is working for us... its got an ugly dark theme but we are able to recieve mms... though we are still not able to send... its still a step up... we tried to see if it was just the apn config file but switching to a diff mms.apk broke the ability.. we tried the apk on other roms and it has fixed mms recieving for us... this means that the real breakthrough is in the apk itself...

edit: only the mms.apk from the old version works for us... in 2.52 lens_flare switched to the stock mms.apk and it broke the ability for us...

mms is no big deal for me nomore imo, im more into social networks, texts, camera, and music, all of my friends and fam, are on FB or Instagram, if we need to send pictures we do it from there or gmail.

by the way the rom is awesome, camera works perfect, web, social apps, and it's 4.1.2 what more i could ask for? the rom is tight lol works perfect for me.

I tried this ROM over the weekend and all it did was reboot continuously, I have S-On and 4EXT installed, from what I read it could be done that way. By the way both jellybean roms do the same on my phone. I have tried all the ROMs that exist and only the JB ROMs gives me a continuously reboot.

Any help will be appreciated.
