Is this only a big deal for TW users or will the benefits help out with AOSP roms as well? I personally prefer AOSP roms (MIUI and CM9) so I'm really hoping that this recently released code will help those roms become more stable. Can someone briefly explain the significance of the source code being released and what it means for TW and AOSP roms? Thanks
You'll see some kernel tweaks/improvements and possibly better battery life. And we have the kernel source, not "source". "Source" would imply to me that we could build the whole ROM which we can't. Just FYI.

I'm looking for any AOSP kernels not based on CM. It turns out the current 3.4 kernels for CM mess up my phone badly causing random reboots. I do not yet know how to build a kernel, hence I'm searching for the possibility of any that is not CM based.
Nope, they are all forked from CM's common one unfortunately
And it wouldn't just require building a kernel...you would need to port another AOSP kernel which is no easy task
Then I guess it's back to TW for good until the problem I'm having with CM 3.4 kernel is fixed, if ever. It was a nice ride with CM right from my GNex to this SGSIII d2spr. Now I can understand why AOKP do not have an AOSP ROM for the Sprint variant of the S3... It just doesn't work...
FAIL for CM... Bye to CM...
in what way does your phone "mess up"? i have the same device and i have not had a problem with Kernels at all
Hello Developers
is someone able to create an AOSP (KitKat 4.4) ROM for our Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini? It would be great if we have a "vanilla" Android version for our Smartphone and this can be used as base for other ROMs. Would be great if someone could build it
Greetings

Most ROM are based on AOSP or CM (which CM is based on AOSP) :/
And if you want a minimum ROM, there's few ROMs are even less 'bloat' and more 'vanilla' than AOSP itself.
I think he meant that he wanted an actual aosp rom, not just an aosp based rom. While we don't have a pure "aosp" rom for our phones, cyanogenmod is pretty close, slimkat is also pretty bare if you're into that. I'm sure a lot of people could port it, it just remains to be seen if any developer is interested enough to actually do it.
Yes a pure AOSP ROM would be great. The whole ROMs which are aviable for our device are based on AOSP so I think it wouldn't be so difficult to build one from AOSP isn't it?

Slim kat is equal to Slim ROM? In that case there is already a port to the S4 mini in the developer section of this forum

aosp rom is the stock android that google delivers...its just pure stock android ported on your device
open semc roms are cyanogenmod roms...cyanogen gets the aosp rom and puts some of its features on it[themes ,cyanogenmod apps etc] and then one developer ports cyanogenmod on your device..... but it also offers an almost stock android experience
in my personal opinion aosp is somewhat faster and lighter than cyanogenmod[it also depends on the developer who ports both roms] and thats why i prefer it, but the difference is not this big...
I will just add that you can use a pure AOSP rom and add some features that you have on CyanogenMod, OmiRom, CarbonROM etc by using for example GravityBox (Xposed).
This is a good way to have an up to date device with some cool features
Some idea that we can find on derived AOSP code can be used by Google on next AOSP release too. So it's interesting to have both
In my experience, it seems that pure AOSP builds have always been more stable and less buggy than cm or other aosp based roms. But I've also learned that it's a challenge to build purely from source. My question is, how likely is it for the g3 to get an AOSP ROM build from the main source?
So..this is a noob Q but Im a bit confused about aosp in nexus (it´s much different from other devices)
What exactly is aosp based roms, and where do they get the source from?
Where do I get its changelog?
Do they use the source from google stock as well, but with modifications?
In my experience with N5X, stock roms have been running smoother and more battery friendly. Which are the advantages of using aosp?
Thanks a lot :good:
