[Q] Quantum ROM Question - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I can't post this in the topic on Android Development because of not enough posts ( I should probably get on that....)
I been flashing new roms lately and been on a touchwiz kick. I see Quantum, and I am highly interested. I see that it says its cm based, but its in the same area as touchwiz roms. So is it still touchwiz?
Really I don't even know what the difference between Android Development and Original Android Development is. Like, what is the qualifier for each one?

It is definitely not a tw ROM, it's aosp. Touchwiz is not open source, aosp obviously is...

Well thanks, like I said I didn't know the difference between Android Development Forums and Original Development Forum. I thought just Android dev forum was just modified touchwiz but I guess not.
Still think i'll take a look at it. Looks pretty great. Reason I went to touchwiz was because I was having some serious 3g-4g lte hand off issues on Slimbean. It would take sometimes 30-60 seconds to make the switch over, and I would lose all data and cell signal during that time.

Where is the true AOSP Rom?

Im not a developer but, isnt all thats needed to make an aosp rom was the kernal source which we now have. yea i know there are some roms on the horizon but im just surprised we havnt seen a true aosp yet.
Or am i missing a peice of the bigger picture.

youre missing a piece of the bigger picture. roms have to be developed and tested. source doesn't mean the rom is already ready to go for every single phone. you have to build the rom from source, this is not something that is done instantly, the same reason you have to wait for htc and sprint to release roms.
Wrong forum.
I dont understand how this is in the wrong forum...its a developement question. Why dont you contribute something helpful instead of trying to be a moderator by proxy. You know like directing me to the proper forum?
anyway
no i understand that portion of that. but I thought that it was easier to build the aosp roms then those with sense crap...when we got hero source there were aosp roms the next day.
Reason why I ask is because I am looking into cooking my own rom...and was basically wondering. as it sits now.is everything availaible to us to make a true aosp rom.
or are we still waiting on some htc bs.
surprisingly, i haven't been too impatient for an AOSP rom. The only reason i want one is for minimum bloatware and Wiimote gaming. And ofcourse, overall performance.
The ROMs that are out right now aren't too shabby, helping me cope with the delays for AOSP

how so? This is an android development question.
it's the wrong forum BECAUSE it's a question. development forum is for posting up radios, ROMs, kernels, and dinking around solutions. it is not for question threads
Cyanogen's rom will be a true AOSP rom. It should (hopefully) be coming out soon.
i'm also looking forward to the aosp rom. i'm willing to sacrifice some of the htc specific stuff like hdmi out.
wasn't darchstar donated an evo so he could get this working?

I guess im not the only user that thinks this is in correct because in the first page there is at least 2 posts that are in par with my type of "question" posts as you put it
and ive counted at least seven more.
So im pretty sure this actually is the "right" forum and if its not im sure a mod will move it.

This is correct +1 and as far the OP question goes, it looks like Cyanogen Mod 6 will be the first true AOSP.

I think you need to rephrase your words and not say "wrong forum", certainly it is not the wrong forum, but the wrong section. I believe this question belongs to the General section.
Here is a link of an AOSP ROM everyone here is expecting soon.
Nexus One Cyanogen Mod ROM Overview!
i know his rom is comming out. I was more inclined of asking why there hasnt been one yet. i got that question answered
but my second question (which wasnt answered) was
do we have everything we need or are we waiting on some htc nonsense because im looking at cookin my own rom

We have everything we need. However it takes some pretty impressive coding to make everything work. Dual cameras and WiMax are new to everyone. This is the only Android phone that has them, especially WiMax. The fact that Cyan got the cams working just proves his coding prowess.

Sweet, my guess was that this belonged here, I reserved comments because I don't want to pretend like I'd be a good mod
Anywho, I am people other that myself are asking this question, I guess there are a ton of us eagerly awaiting an AOSP rom.
Here is my take on this:
The stock Android Source code does not have access to some of the hardware on the phone. Yes we haver kernel source, however, the stock Android software for 2.1 doesnt have:
1. Two Cameras
2. Wimax
3. HDMI
4. Kickstand notification?
You either have to run HTC's Sense or use a Froyo with some custom Android Apps (What Cyanogen is writing)

Answers my question perfectly
Sent from your moms house on the motherf'n NOW network!

what is aosp and why does it have ddifferent kernels?

Ok so I have gotten into launcher pro and now do not use sense... so I'm interested in aosp ... first off what is it? Why does it have its own kernels? And why would an aosp ROM be better than sense? Do you get better battery life? I guess in general I don't understand it and i didn't find on here where it talks about it.... any help would be great!
Hmm? Good question.
"Question"
AOSP is the Android Open Source Project. It builds from the released source code from google. It's the closest most phones can get to a "Google Experience" phone.
I'm not an expert on the kernels, but I believe that the source code released by the vendors is for reference purposes and not to be used in 3rd party ROMs. Someone else can give a much better answer on this than me.

This thread is a fail in multiple ways...
There are multiple kernels for aosp and for sense... different developers put them together. They offer different performance / battery life. Have to find the one that works the best for you.

GOT IT!? I hope so.
anyways:
It means Android Open Source Project.
When you see an AOSP ROM, it means its as basic as it gets. No Sense, no nothing. It runs generally faster than a sense based ROM. You just don't get any of the visual flash. But thats just how it comes... you can then add some flash and make it beautiful, quick, and long lasting on battery life. Cyanogenmod is a beautiful, quick, and long lasting ROM that I highly recomend for your AOSP ROM. It will take some getting used to, but with a few apps and tweaks you wont even realize you aren't using sense anymore.

everyone on these forums should know that the search feature is a load of cowsh*t!! take a look at what it returns when u search "what is aosp"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=58201161
*note that near the top the search engine says "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: what, is"
and not to mention 708 results is more than any human being on this forum or anywhere in the world would be willing to search thru. Yes it couldve been posted in the questions forum ill agree with that but give the man a break it was a very simple question that apparently is too simple for the xda search to find. He woulda been better off googling it. Why people get off on flamning people is beyond me. How many wanna be moderators do we have on these forums?
Nothing to do with people being wanna be mods. It has everything to do with filling the dev forums with crap.
A google search of either of these terms would have answered his question 100% and took less then it did for him to post this.
going to go ahead an throw my .02 cents in here, im going to the gym to get ready for Rehab LV for memorial day. another useless post like this thread.
When I was starting I had to learn everything from the basics and up. I think I posted 1 question. I just read everything i could. I have been doing this for only a few months, I don't know everything but I can get around just fine. These guys have a lot explained in threads and wiki.

it's all about what you like,after running the mikfroyo Rom for a while(sense Rom)and having tried CM6,CM7 nightlyz, I can honestly say that IMO those feel SLOW (CM6,7) in comparison...and everything works with sense. I agree that launcher pro is great and can add a lot more functionality, even with the dock alone...CM Mods you can customize the hell out of even change the notification bar color within the rom itself which is cool and tons of other things as well but I don't need all that..sense...IMO looks better overall as a user interface , sure launcher pro has sense like widgets,can get the knock off big dumb clock widgets from the market like beautiful widgets,but it's just not the same...I don't know how to explain it....it feels "generic" I guess..for me if my phone was stock vanilla android out of the box like my Samsuck Moment was (except I got a whole 3 home screens to choose from) or the nexus one,then I would run with launcher pro or adw and a CM mod. But in having the evo I can try both (sense,aosp roms) so I guess after rambling on for so long, its about what strikes your fancy more..is one better than the other IMO......no, but you should just do a nandroid back up of your current working set up and try one out CM6,7,or MIUI

AOSP is the Android Open Source Project, it's the Android source code that Google releases. So when ever a new Android version is released, Google puts it up on the site and everyone is free to use it. OEMs like HTC take that source code to create Android phones. So technically ALL ROMs are AOSP, this includes HTC Sense. A key difference with OEM ROMs, like HTC Sense and Samsung Touchwiz, is that they tend to include closed source proprietary code to make them stand out and have extra features. So the core of that code ends up being very different (and unavailable/unknown) to the original AOSP code. These core differences make kernels incompatible between each other; so AOSP kernels end up only working on ROMs where the core is very similar to the original AOSP code - for the EVO these ROMs include CM, MIUI, and some others I've never bothered to use.
i agree with visionikc03 the xda forum search is no good... when you go to open a thread it will ask you if you have checked xxxx thread before posting thats a better search than the forum search... so is this guy an apple fanboy trolling? i think so...my 02 before the thread is closed/moved/locked

C'ya CM9, I hardly knew ya'!

Quick background about my flashing habits before we begin. My first Android phone was the G2, and I really liked it but wanted something with more power. About a year later I "upgraded" to the Sensation and immediately I was taken aback by how awful Sense is/was. It became my mission to get back to the pure Android feel and so I found the (original) HNS ROMs. Those were great, and that phone lives on today as my wifes primary device. Now I have a Gnex, and my "problem" is that it comes out of the box the way it took me a year+ to get my Sensation so there isnt much I want to change. Roughly 2 weeks ago I decided to flash CM9 to see what all the hype is about, and I can honestly say I dont see what the big deal is. Sure, I can change the governor and modify the LED for specific notifications but as far as I can tell thats about all you can do. Clearly there are other 'under the hood' modifications but none of them are immediately evident to me at least, and so I am about to flash JB.
Am I missing something huge that CM9 does that JB doesnt not? Is my analysis totally off? Let me know if JB is a mistake and if I should have stuck with CM9 in the comments below!

It doesn't work for you, then ok. Nobody is going to convince you to use a specific ROM. Its YOUR preference and YOUR phone, so do as you please or better yet, make your own ROM the way you want. If you read you would know people like CM9 for its stability.

Dont get me wrong, I am not knocking CM9 in any way. However, I can tell you I had zero issue with the stock ICS build my phone came either. I am hoping JB proves to be just as stable.
lol a troll thread it is. nobody are allowed to blame CM. best android community ever! and now AOKP is also emerging. how dare you insult the only dev community that give free support for your device. you dont like it go away and keep it yourself. no need to tell it here. use stock rom and go play outside.
EDIT : ok... but still, whats your point of this thread? you want to try JB then go ahead. and since your stock ICS is working well just stick with it and wait for JB OTA. CM are already working on JB, its gonna be CM10. you dont follow news regularly i suppose... CM9 was started from scratch with no features for your info. and its still in RC! what do you expect....

Agreed, but how many of them are actually useful and not just "cool"? After reviewing every single feature of the ROM I couldnt find anything else I thought was worth while. If you have specific examples please let me know, as I spent hours making the decision to ditch CM9 and I hope I made the right choice.

Who is "insulting" CM team?? I have used their products for years and I think they do a great job. The purpose of this thread (if you bothered to read it) was to determine if I will be missing any functionality of CM9 by moving to JB. Assuming you are not currently using JB, then I respectfully ask you to move along and comment elsewhere. This thread is for people who have used both ROMs, and can comment about the differences. Please troll elsewhere LuffyPSP.
Not yet having a Nexus, I can see how CM9 wouldn't be such a big deal since you're coming from AOSP already. But for those of us running manufacturer-skinned-and-bloated devices, CM9 is really amazing. Lets us basically run Nexus software on better hardware.

You nailed it right there, and that was the premise of my first post. Coming from a Sense "enhanced" device the AOSP experience was priceless and amazing. However once you are already running a pure Google experience (stock ICS ona Gnex) there is much less to improve upon. Hence my movement from CM9 to JB, and hence the thread you are now reading. Some people here need to relax and have a civil discussion (not you, some of the others)!
Was this thread really needed? Cm9 is a great rom remember what your parents should of told you if you have nothing good to say then do not say anything at all. So shhhh

Wow, I guess we are back in kindergarten or something? I never once said a single negative thing about CM9. This thread is to discuss what features CM9 lacks that JB has, or the other way around. Do people even bother to read the thread before they chime in?
everybody is entitled to their opinion. And a ROM preference comes down to just that.
(without comparing features and what-not)
CM is living history in the world of Android development, specifically custom ROMs. I ran CM back on my original Droid when Koush first ported it (having to come up with ClockworkMod Recovery just to be able to do so, so that's one big thing that came about as an indirect result of CM). But Cyanogen was the first one to build a ROM from source, something that was a LOT harder back when he started. Many of Android's features were found in his ROMs first. While you may prefer this ROM or that, you should know that the CM team's impact on the android development community is only surpassed by Google itself (and it's by a narrow margin IMO). The CyanogenMod team is absolutely legendary and deserves more respect than that
as far as comparing CM9 to JB, it's apples to oranges. You won't see a CM JB ROM until source is released, that's how they work. And even still, it'll be a while before they get their ROM compiled, stable, and feature-packed
Came across this thread by accident... I think the users here was misled by the thread title... Anyway, i get what youre saying though about running aosp stock and cm9... You feel like youre not missing anything when running stock... Im not sure about stock ics but i think CM9 have alot of under the hood tweaks compare to stock... They may not be noticable to see but they are there hidden in codes ... May i say enhance in coding... Maybe wait for CM10, the wait will be worth it
Edit: apologize in advance if i misunderstood you

I remember when you would see CM before you would see the official ROM from Google... that was back during the G1 days... ah good times... Back then, he would release a basic rooted ROM then work out the extra features and bugs as he went along... but of course back then there was only one Android device, (and later only two or three) so it was easier.
The proliferation of different Android devices has really slowed down the CM development cycle. We are just now seeing a RC for CM9 and JB is already out in the wild.
CM has really influenced Android development as a whole... many features that come stock in Android today were first done by CM and then adopted into AOSP. I remember when Google Devs were asked at a press conference about specific features for a specific device... and they said "We won't do them, ask Cyanogen." Those guys have a lot of respect for Cyanogen, even way back when he worked on his own, and now he heads a huge team of Devs that rivals Google's in house team. (if not even larger)
There are a lot of little features that CM does that AOSP still doesn't and even others do not. Adjusting auto brightness settings are one I really like (especially on AMOLED screens) and also the color balance controls that help correct colors on AMOLED. There are other little tweaks and settings that you can do... and lots of code tweaks. Google must try to balance many aspects (performance/battery/multiple devices/differing hardware) with their code, but CM can focus on certain performance goals (in regards to all the mentioned aspects) and each version can be tweaked for its target device more than AOSP.
Basically CM is making AOSP the best it can be on the supported devices.

exactly. Hell, I think CM is the sole reason I even joined this forum when theming my D1 after Koush ported CM on another forum (I think alldroid or something like that initially). I remember the first experiments with JIT, and wow it was a ***** to get onto the D1 lol. I can't wait to see them play with JB when source drops. Cyanogen is your favorite developer's favorite developer

[Q] Jtfletmo Stuck In Dev Loop?

No not a boot loop, this is really a question to devs in disguise.
So as a general question is S4 new development kinda dead atm?
It seems with the release of the S5 development was stirred up to make the S4 even more like the S5 than it already was, like ultra power saving mode app, crappy settings (in my op), better icons, a toolbox and stuff. But it seems that development has slowed a tad in the realm of new Roms, with new features. Have we hit a limit in how far we can go?
Please take this with no disrespect, i love all of your roms. I'm simply a crack-flasher and always come back looking for something new and for the last couple of months the same roms have been on the front page, throughout here and the international version.
I mean other than the "nexus experience" or basically another AOSP rom that flys of the front page in a day.
Again no disrespect at all! just wondering if there are any other new roms coming soon with some new stuff to play with, its what i doo.
actually testing the colorOS rom atm >.> from a different section

Please take this with no disrespect, i love all of your roms. I'm simply a crack-flasher and always come back looking for something new and for the last couple of months the same roms have been on the front page, throughout here and the international version.
I mean other than the "nexus experience" or basically another AOSP rom that flys of the front page in a day.
Again no disrespect at all! just wondering if there are any other new roms coming soon with some new stuff to play with, its what i doo.
actually testing the colorOS rom atm >.> from a different section

Are you referring to touchwiz or aosp? I'm guessing touchwiz. If so, making touchwiz ROMs call for a lot of reverse engineering. Which is more of a pain then working with source code. Especially anything to do with smali. Because smali isn't even an actual programming code like java, C, C++ ect.

Porting over MIUI for the LG?

I posted this question a while back and many views but no response. So I'm posting it here hoping to get a response. I was wondering if MIUI will be ported on this phone. I would love to see it on this phone. Any news?
Wrong section. Goes in the Q&A.
Some one went derp
Before any ports we need a full fledged functioning aosp build, once we have that I don't see why a port wouldn't be out of the question. This is just MHO but we don't really need new builds of different versions based off the same broken source. $droyd$ did great ground work on his slim version but till he or others can fix what's broken it seems any new variants have the same issues.
There is already a build out there but its DATA is not working, it is however built for the F400K model.

What @Ducter said. we need a fully working AOSP build for MIUI, because its AOSP based.

That would depend if its a private port or if it is a "offical" miui by xaiomi.
as they tend to do "patchrom" builds, to have the benefit of LG drivers and of the camera etc...
there is no disputing the fact that original manufacturers drivers and firmware for camera and sound etc.. is better on offical roms than CM ports.

MIUI is not always AOSP based. I've used MIUI builds on my HTC OneXL that were Sense based and I've seen them like that on other HTC devices as well. Looks and feels just like AOSP MIUI. Not sure if something like that is possible for other manufacturers though.

Really?? Was it an official MIUI build, or maybe a skin, by someone else?

Don't remember if it was official but I know it's not a skin or anything. It's full fledged MIUI just using a Sense base. One sec and I'll find the link for the thread.
Here's the link to one of the ones I used on my One XL. I think there was at least one other and I know I've seen it on other HTC devices as well. It would be awesome if something like this could work with the LG firmware.

Here was another one, even though I think it might be an update for the previous one posted by a different user.

Yeah, i dont think this is an official build. It looks like OP got MIUI to work with sense & built a rom. Anyways, although MIUI is not my cup of tea (AOKP man myself) it looks pretty awesome. :good:
Hopefully we'll see some other builds in the near future. Im sick of LGs UI & im willing to try anything else.
