Oracles, far as I am aware, do not get to apply both Dex and Cha to their AC. The claim was made that there are ways to apply Dex, Int, Wis *and* Cha bonuses to AC.
Paladins' bonus is typed (deflection) and situational which does not fulfill the criteria.
Sidestep Secret (Oracle of Lore) and Nature's Whispers (Oracle of Nature) *replaces* Dex with Cha for AC which does not fulfill the criteria.
Criteria from the OP: "...there is a way to add every other ability modifier to AC...", which is what I'm asking about. Oracle and Paladin do not do this, not as I understand it.

Nobody claimed it was possible to get all of those to AC simultaneously, just that it was possible to get any of those to AC.

No official rule that I know of.
To do it though I'd have a suit of platemail magical made so dense as to make it extremely difficult to get through. It would be 9 AC and no dex bonus but ever point of strengh would allow you to add 1 to the AC. The armor heavy but if you you move it you can better protect yourself.
I'm not sure what I call this magic quality or how much it would cost though.

Monk can add WIS, Duelist PrC can add INT (= class level), what adds CHA without replacing DEX or WIS as an untyped bonus to AC?
Osyluth Guile adds CHA as a dodge bonus when fighting defensively or total defense. With this feat, a monk going into Duelist could get DEX, WIS, INT, and CHA to AC, and it would work nicely with Crane Style for even more AC. Not that you could get a monk with good scores in all those ability scores without magic in a point buy system, but it could still be theoretically done. Nice for people that roll really good stats at least. *edit* Ah, someone already said this.
With that feat, I can see someone doing something like feints (not the maneuver but general deceptive movements) to trick the opponent into hitting the wrong spot. But adding STR? "I get my STR mod as a shield bonus by flexing my biceps"

There were several ways to add Con to AC in D&D 3.5. Solo's hilarious Barbarian guide ("Being Bane") referred to it as "blocking with your chest!" :)
I think Str to AC should be possible. You would use shield or large bracers over the forearms to block attacks with, perhaps. But that would be houserules/creations.
For RAW PF, there's nothing. Your best bet would be finding a way to make certain attacks, or as many kinds as possible, target your CMD rather than AC. CMD is a str-based defense, after all.
