What is King Kang?

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.

What is the future going to be like for King Kang?
Currently, it is heavily rooted in AOKP as its main base. As the ROM progresses, it will grow and extend its functionality.

Download
ROM: KingKang-B1
Google Apps: Gapps
Gapps for Jellybean (4.1.2/CM10) should work perfectly, cant promise if 4.2 works

Information
Some AOKP features power over the ParanoidAndroid ones. For example, in order to get Tablet UI, you first need to check the "Tablet UI" option in ROM Control, then change it to the desired mode in Paranoid Android, and then reboot.
This ROM began as a creation by DAGr8 for Android 4.0, ICS. It offered a simple AOKP + PA combination.

while you cant get true touchwiz on aosp based roms there is a touchwiz launcher you could use.

also i apologize to everyones wives/girlfriends for ruining their nights. i was bored and wanted to do another rom, ill try to make sure it doesnt happen again ;P

Shabby i just thought of something how come u dnt pimp out a touchwiz jelly bean rom bro=o

i plan on doing a nice touchwiz ics rom when i get the phone. cant do jellybean as you guys dont have it, the phones that do have it are based on leaked builds

and wifi direct is not possible its a licsensing issue, if i did i could be sued
 
Ok this ROM is working flawless for me I've MMS Mikey and he's gotten my pics um let's see the ui interface works great it changes modes flawlessly keep in mind every change requires a reboot. The tablet mode and phablet mode looks a lil strange that's because I didn't bother changing icon size. It does have some presets preloaded for each mode so that's cool. Other cool stuff? I guess I'm still playing with it ;)but since shabby released this early I'm sure ya won't have any prob finding new features :D post back any findings!!!

For any new comers that wanna try this ROM back up current ROM then wipe/factory data reset then install this ROM and flash gapps then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot!
