AOKP team posts giant update to its Jelly Bean build, allows rotation and tablet UI anywhere

Custom ROM fans will know AOKP (Android Open Kang Project), but the first build derived from Jelly Bean was knowingly rough around the edges. What a difference a month makes: along with the usual round of bug fixes, the team's second build has added options to force screen rotation and the tablet interface on any device.

If you were waiting to stay just short of the bleeding edge before trying AOKP, your version is ready.
