[Q] Difference between CM6 rom and Vanilla Android?

Hey all,
Just curious what the difference is between vanilla android and the one by cmod. I know they are both similar to the stock android OS but did not understand anything more than that. Can someone please elaborate?
Thank you.

not development related, please move to Q&A or General.
CyanogenMod is based on AOSP. AOSP = Android Open Source Project (android as google designed it). CyanogenMod makes improvements and changes and tweaks to AOSP.
it's all down to preference, but most people agree CM is an improved version of AOSP.

Nope, he's linked the PA link to Utacka's PA,which is built from source,thus qualifying it as development.
Also, MIUI is based on a completely different kernel and base i.e. it is very different from the Samsung ones so it is development too.
Off-topic though, both the ROMs are in the Android Development forum not in the Original Android development forum.The custom ROMs,no matter how they are made/what are they based on,go to the Android Development.Only the ones which are truly 'original' i.e. new ideas go to the Original Android development.

For what ? This isn't a important thing. It won't work on Android 2.3.x, it's clearly written in the filename : android-support-v4.jar, v4 means Android Version 4.x

Android development vs Android original development

Why do we have 2 forum sections? What is the difference between the two? I've always wondered and see it on most all devices in the XDA forum.

Everything in the Original Section is made from scratch, while in the Android Dev Section its taken from the Original Section and modified.
Original Android = Stock Roms
Android Development = Custom Roms

Here you go:

Android development = modifying stock software (for the Note 4 this would mean TW based ROMs)
Original Android development = developing your own stuff from source (This would me AOSP ROMs and custom kernels)
For some reason the AOSP ROMs for this device are in the wrong section. The only one who had it in the correct place is SLIM ROM.
