Dearest Kanglings,

The last few months have been very productive, and excitement builds in Unicorn Land. After a ton of hard work by a LOT of Team Kang members, we are finally ready to unleash some fantastic news.

As promised, the much anticipated JB-MR1 Milestone 1 release is imminent. We have spent the last several weeks ironing many bugs to painful deaths, arguing about who broke what, and optimizing the overall AOKP experience.

We’d like to take a moment to thank all of our members for their incredible work (and ability to not kill each other!) – the sheer amount of effort and will over the past few weeks has been awe-inspiring.

…There, moment over! MORE NEWS NOW!

With the release of this Milestone we are moving to a new release cycle. Builds are now a thing of the past! That’s right – no more builds. (Keep reading!)

Instead, our BuildBot will pump out new builds every 4 days (subject to future change).

These will truly be nightlies – untested by humans. Think of it as a “snapshot” of current AOKP source. There won’t be blog posts for these builds, check the nightly folders under your device on our mirrors. If it so happens that something was merged that breaks your device and the bot starts before someone notices it, well… that’s a bummer. Report it so we can fix it, and be vigilant about your backups!

Our intention is to release new Milestone builds at a minimum of 1 month intervals. It may be longer than 1 month, it all depends on whether we feel the Milestone label has been achieved.

Speaking of Milestones… we’d like to thank each and every one of YOU, for helping us achieve the insane mark of over 1,000,000 installs. It seemed like a miracle when a hundred people had installed AOKP… again, when it was 500… and so on. This is a miracle to the umpteenth power to us, and our gratitude could fill the entire void of the cosmos.

Last, but not least… one of the greatest, most vital lynchpins of our team, the mighty Sethyx, has released AOKPush – an incredibly tight app for tracking our latest builds. It’s beautiful and supremely functional – pick it up today, and support one of the key developers without whom AOKP would no longer exist!

Don’t forget to flash GApps!

Swagger On!
~Team Kang

P.S. We love gratuitous use of bold.

CHANGELOG

• TONS of fixes
• Lockscreen ring targets are back
• Updated About AOKP section in ROMControl
• New Toggles (Reboot, Screenshot)
• Reorganized many parts of ROMControl, also fixed / cleared a few strings

Update: We re-uploaded the zips for our 5 Motorola devices (maserati, solana, spyder, targa, umtsspyder), the updated version fixes a kernel issue that could cause reboots.

Update 2: Sadly we had to re-upload the images for Note 2 devices (i605, l900) as well. New versions have the fix to the sound issue.
