Pure aosp & cm based ROMs - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Can anyone help differentiate between the pure aosp based & cm based ROMs? Regardless of what anyone says, pure aosp & cm are totally different.

They aren't totally different. CM is AOSP with a ton of modifications. When ROMs base off of CM, they're using CM's source code instead of using AOSP directly. In the end, you're still using a modified AOSP.

Yes they are different. Tw & sense are modified versions of Android as well.

I'm confused about what you're asking, since you clearly know how AOSP and CM differ...

Have you tried asking there?

AOSP is pure Google hot off the press. AOSP is Google Nightlies.
CM is [was] based off AOSP but have pretty much rewrote the majority of it. The launcher, camera, dialer, music, etc are all different. The share the same core and look and feel, but CM is heavily modified and uses a CM kernel for drivers.
They both function the same but most of CM is a rewrite. CM is just not AOSP with a few tweaks. There is a lot different under the hood.

JellyBean: AOKP vs CM10?

has anyone tried both cm10 and jb aokp previews?
it would be great to know what the main features of each rom are as of now.

Is too early at this point to say which is better or which has better features. Both are very very young projects.
Boths looks like the same features, but personally i prefer AOKP because it has the option to change the nav bar dpi (euroskank aokp), but now im using paranoid based on cm10, im not using cuz' cm10 based but the awsome PA DPI configurations.

Its depend what you really want with your GNex. Each ROM have advantage
For me stock ROM that already Custom by someone is good enough

I'm testing the same thing. I just flashed the latest aokp, now I'm on paranoid android. I much prefer the toggles in aokp (I'm in minority here I know). But aokp is not working with hide nav bar app, yet cyan and all other JB roms work fine with this. So I'm sticking with PA for now.
Aokp is missing stuff still like color multipliers etc. But they have center clock etc. Cyan is missing center clock, but has screen multipliers. Cyan also has dBm signal, but aokp does not yet. So its a tough comparison. Cyan has more features. I'm staying with paranoid just to use tablet mode for now.
Can't compare the 2 like that. Both offer different things. From my experience cm has been smoother and more fluid than aokp but aokp has a lot of customization. I'd say cm is more stable but the only person who can confirm these things is you.

CM tends to be very stable and smooth , AOKP is great if your looking to make your phone a little more unique and personal.
I've found battery life on CM better than AOKP but over-all its down to what you want. Both work well, both work different.
Try both and make a decision

What are the possibilities of an AOKP/CM/Paranoid and TouchWiz hybrid?

I love the features of various source developed ROMs like AOKP, CM, or Paranoid Android. But at the same time I'm so used to certain Touchwiz things, like the calendar, dialer, browser...
What's the likelihood that someone could move the TW framework and apps over to a source-based ROM? Is it possible? Would it be stable? Or should I just find third party apps and move on with my life?
Some people have been able to port some, not all, of the TW apps but as far as everything else, it's never going to happen. People have wasted hundreds of hours and gotten no where.

I would love to see something like this, but I'm realistic and know its probably not possible.
I can continue to dream about seeing the touchwiz camera on cm10 though, right?

If someone could just get the TW camera ported to AOSP, that would be awesome!
There have been a few in the past that were TW base but had some AOKP things added. But they arent up to date anymore
I know that jellybam has a touchwiz launcher but not the touchwiz apps. Plus i don't know how stable that rom is at the moment.
I've talked with johnsondr80 over at The Collective some time ago, and they apparently looked into merging TW into their ROM, and apparently it became apparent as to how incredibly massive it was going to be to do that. Apparently TW is interwoven throughout the entire ROM, and in essence would require (pretty much) a build from scratch........ I'm not a dev, so I could've misunderstood. But it sounded like it was was too much work for the benefits

Not possible. It is not open source

Any guide to this seemingly innumerable amount of roms?

It seems like there are too many roms to try out and find one that fits...
I tried Jellyybomb and hated it...
I use my phone a lot with a blu tooth keyboard and a blutooth mouse...sometimes thru the usb/hdmi thing.
So anything that improves preformance of the phone , looks smooth sleek..would be nice.
It isn't that innumerable. There are two options either TWiz or AOSP. TWiz are usually patched and themed, check the individual change log for what the authors have done. AOSP come in all manner of varieties, check the op and change log.

So...Jellybomb is what?
You might like NoWIZ. It's based on the deodexed MA7 stock TW ROM, but it's got the look and feel of AOSP. Add the Perseus kernel and you've got winner. Great performance and battery life, clean interface, and access to native TW apps and services.
*EDIT* FYI, JellyBomb, and all the ROMs in "Android Development" are TouchWiz(TW) based. AOSP ROMs are in "Original Android Development"

Touchwiz based. Any rom with a build number LJC, Lk8, MA5, MA7 etc is a touchwiz based rom. AOSP roms say AOSP or CM in the thread title.
I like to break stuff!

[Q] AOSP - Stock Android look Rom?

Hi everyone, i was wondering which Sony-based ROM has the best AOSP / Stock Android Nexus look and feel, besides Cyanogen-based Roms (CM, AOKP, etc). I am using my phone's camera everyday so I really need stock-based Rom so I can use Cyber-Shot Mod application.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Why dont you just take a look in the dev thread?

Only CM or AOKP can give you the closest experience to AOSP. No other ROM comes close enough. The only way that you can get a pure AOSP experience is to hope that Google and Sony partner together to produce another Nexus from the Xperia line.

This one perhaps?
Thank you for your answers everyone.
JJ's Hybrid ROM. Worth to give a try.

Two Features That I Miss After Switching from TW to CM Based Rom

It seems like the best roms now are all CM based, but I miss a couple features from my TW based roms. Mainly I miss KTweaker and being able to overclock my phone, then I really wish I could hold the back key to kill apps. Is there anything like that for CM based roms?
Back to kill is in developer options at the very bottom. Developer options must be enabled by pressing build number 7 times until it is enabled. Overclocking is kernel based and I believe Leankernel and BMS both support this.

I don't see back to kill in developer options. I'm still looking though. Can i change my kernel even after installing a rom?

Yes, there are several kernels you can install, including ktoonzes which includes ktweaker...if you choose BMS, dkp, or lean kernel you can download apps to oc and etc.

Ok the only roms i ever tried that allowed you to pick a kernel were TW based so i didn't know if ktoonzes was only for TW or if anyone could use them. I'm using IllusionRom 2.6 (which is running quite smoothly. Just need to change all the blue icons in the status bar to red lol)
I've tried ktoonzes and leankernel but after flashing both my screen looks all crazy, zoomed in like 1000% and the colors are way off. Idk what i'm doing wrong. Am i not supposed to use the AOSP version with CM?

You have to choose a kernel build from the appropriate date range; the weird color issue was a CM bug from around October 20th if I remember, and it was fixed in the next round of kernel releases. Plus, Illusion doesn't get updated all that often, so you probably need a kernel build, date-wise, that is as close as possible to the build date of your version of Illusion.
I just switched roms to pure bean
Can I use ktoonzes with that?
