Excuse My Noob-ness - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I'm just a little curious about what they call AOSP. I know about vanilla android, which some guy claimed was the groundwork for all other phones, but what about these other roms. What is the difference between CyanogenMod, SlimRom, Carbon ROM, BeanStalk, AOKP, Paranoid Android, PAC ROM... Etc etc?

AOSP = Android Open Source Project. Pretty much stock or vanilla android.
Those other ones are various versions of android with there own tweaks. Have to try then out to see the difference or Google each one.

So Google has nothing to do with those others listed?

They are based off aosp. Which is googles. They just modified and tweaked it to their liking.

So, what are the differences between these ROM types? Any particular advantages to either of them?

Nice article by a friend-
http://knowmydroid.com/blog/what-is-aokp-rom-how-is-it-different-from-cm9
Sounds like they are mostly cosmetical, although choice is good of course. Hopefully we'll have both!

AOSP means android open source project.. Any rom that derivates from that it's an AOSP rom...
AOKP team named their rom that way implying that they are "kanging" AOSP like many people kangs cm7/9/10
Kang means cook a rom based on other people's work so in a way every rom its a "kang" from AOSP, even TW roms as TW its just a "skin" but under the hood its just plain and simple Android.
If a developer doesn't modify the AOSP code they would be releasing Google's roms Wich its stock Android.
But there's differences between cooking and developing and that's why you see 2 sections in development the original Wich should be developers whom modify and support roms straight from AOSP being able of actually fix bugs and issues and the regular development Wich its people that uses kitchens and scrips to create roms.. No actually developing code..
So at the end AOKP its a rom based on AOSP, as cm10 and every single rom that derivates from AOSP, go and check development section in galaxy nexus forum and you will see what's development.. There's no less than 100 different rom's all coded from AOSP.. AOSP is the mother of every rom that exist

I was reading different threads and found this one. Great explanation! Why is it that some features like wi-fi calling dont work on aosp?

The AOSP roms are often unofficial and are made by our cool developers, so there are some features that don't work. But those are usually fixed sooner or later

[Q] Help me please

Hey guys, I know this is probably a dumb question. But it is better to say oh well than what if.
Can i have cyanogenmod 10.1 and badseed kernel running together? I have a Sprint HTC One I have S-Off and write protection disabled fully rooted.
No. CM is AOSP and badseed is made for sense roms. With CM or any AOSP based roms you have to use an AOSP based kernel.

Well, they do exist or we couldn't run AOSP ROMs on our devices. No dev has made a flashable zip of thier AOSP kernel available for our device.
Sorry, I thought custom/separate kernel was implied.
Thank you!
Thank you guys so much, I just had to make sure i had that cleared up. This community is the best.

[Q] stable AOSP ROM for daily use

So I want to slide to AOSP ROM already.. but the list is too long and my time is too short..
Could any one please report and share some of your experience with the AOSP ROMs?
Which is the most stable? and is it ready for daily use?
Compare it to the stock..
I don't care about features / android version or anything else.. just AOSP and most stable..
Your help would be extra appreciated.

Pabx is the only aosp. The others are based on Cm.
It's also incredibly stable & definitely recommended

Thank you for that recommending!
Apologies for confusing I guess I can't tell the difference between AOSP and CM (and others if there are more..)
I meant a clean version of the Android with nothing related to Sony.. no UI, no touchwiz and no sense..
Clean like the nexus..
With the quick settings on the notification bar..
Any kinds of those..
Hope thats more clear..

would you say CM and Pabx AOSP are around the same smoothness?
Personally I prefer the work that pabx has done on his aosp kernel, than what free xperia have done with CM one.
CM is nice for all the extra bits, but aosp is stripped back and basic and a chunk more responsive. I put a lightly modified version of his kernel in his thread that allows undervolting, so it's also fairly decent battery wise.
Best to try all the major ones out and see which you prefer.
FWIW sonys stock roms (Once you take out the usual extra bloat apps) are pretty close to aosp roms, they don't tend to change massive amounts from the qualcomm code.
Out of the major oems I'd say they run closest to the true android experience.
Like fards I'd recommend Pabx 4.3 ROM though it is quite bone stock AOSP. A stable CM ROM that is still quite light would be CyanX 7.0. I use it personally as my daily driver. Pretty stable and fast with good battery.

Member since 2011 and you still don't understand "No questions in General section"???
Thank you all for recommending..
And Rashkae, sorry if it ain't in the right place, I found it more suitable to General as a discussion and not as "How do I..." question..
The forum didn't have any discuss for ROMs and opinions of each so I thought why not raise it up myself..

I love AOSP and paired with Gravity Box(xposed) it gets all the extra bits of CM.
But i still give CM based ROMs an upper hand due to features like per app dpi, PA pie, general all in one packaging and still maintaining performance.
Here are a few ROMs I like
Carbon - Loads of features, extremely fast and battery friendly(except for the latest version)
Mokee - Smooth, all usefull features.
CyanX - Stable and basic CM features and a custom kernel.
PAC - Has all the features u could think of, though a bit buggy.
Jelly bam- True all in one ROM just like PAC
Commotio/Vanir - The best ROM i've tried till now, Sooo fast, stable and great devs
A few more that I've tried : Asylum , CM 10.2 , AOKP, etc ( select yuga in device)
YouTube these ROM (check Nexus 4 videos) before you try them it has the same features irrespective of the device.
Wow thats like a database for XZ
That's extremely helpful! Thank you so much

So many ROMs. What are the differences between them?

We have lots of ROMs for now: CM, AOKP, Carbon, AICP etc.
Is there a thread here on xda that explains what are the differences between the roms?

They just have different features added on top of cm11. That's it
For knowing differences, have a look at features of each rom and compare. You'll get to knos the difference

A bit wrong there. As DU and AICP are built off of aosp based aokp and Slim. Cm11 is very different in coding and kernels

[Q] What is the Point of AOSP Roms on Nexus Devices? New from IOS... Sorry :p

Isn't the whole point of having a nexus that you get a stock AOSP build anyways?
Why do I see people posting links (eg: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/build-guide-rom-build-aosp-source-t2973610) if you can get it straight from google. I understand in his guide he was showing how to build a rom from source, but why bother going to the effort of flashing a rom thats the same as stock? I'm switching from IOS so people forgive any mis-information
AOSP does not ship with proprietary Google Applications which can be sideloaded with gapps is the main difference. It is the base for custom ROMs to build on top of it as ROMs are constructed from AOSP base and not stock base.
Oh ok thanks that makes sense, but why would someone not want the stock apps? So I would only need to flash an AOSP if I was creating a rom, or wanted stock without gapps?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I ask myself the same question. I came from iPhone to the Nexus because of the Google ecosystem. I don't know what I would do with the phone if it didn't have GAPPs.

Not all of the stock apps are useful, for example... Google Fit, Google Earth, Google Books, etc aren't useful to many of us.
You flash gapps.
You don't construct a ROM based off stock ROM, you have to base it off AOSP.
The AOSP ROM without any features was released as a base build since it is relatively a early build and features werent available yet. Nothing more.

It does have gapps you just flash to a additional zip to have the gapps.
Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me

You have to look at the change log in the op of the said rom ...... Most aosp ROMs are going to give much more functionality and options for themes etc
