Android Open Kang Project

The Android Open Kang Project doesn’t get as much attention these days as it did back in the time when the HTC Desire X smartphone was first released, but it’s still a pretty good custom ROM for you to install. The Android Open Kang project, often abbreviated as AOKP for short, is one of the three custom ROMs that is featured in the PAC-Man custom ROMs. The PAC-Man custom ROMs are some of the most popular ROMs in the world for anyone to install. There is a reason why the developers of MAC-Man decided to choose AOKP as being part of the ROM and that is because they have some very good features.

In addition to the AOKP that is obviously a part of this ROM, it is also based on CyanogneMod. Not many people know exactly what CyanogenMod features are available in the ROM because CyanogenMod never listed their features anywhere online and prefered people just use the ROMs instead. Perhaps that is partly to blame for why they are not making custom ROMs anymore. The Android Open Kang Project custom ROM for the HTC Desire X smartphone is based on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software update.

Google apps are all the Google related apps like Google Play Store, You Tube, G Mail and more which keeps your phone running, without these your phone is no more a smart phone.

Why they don’t embed Google apps to custom ROM directly? because they have to upload that custom ROM and to make it easier so you can download them.
