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

Lollipop theme for CM10 (Nokia XL)

Hello!
I wanted a little talk on the Rom CM10 ported to Nokia XL. I was searching for the lollipop themes for the cm10 but ended up seeing loads of lollipop themes for cm11. I had installed the cm11 before, but because of the camera and rotation bug I was not able to use it for like 6hrs. So just ended up flashing cm10 again. But I want a lollipop look on it. I couldn't find a single theme of lollipop for cm10 just ONLY one kitkat theme for it was good. And I also want the status bar to be like kitkat.
So anyone which can help me in this situation will be really appreciated.

[REQ] N7100 Android Lollipop (5.0.x) with TouchWiz

Maybe this question should be here, if so any moderator please move it where it belongs.
Is there any ROM that has Lollipop + TouchWiz?
I'd love to install lollipop in my note 2 but i have the problem of having a galaxy gear 2. Although gear manager for lollipop is available in the samsung Apps store, and i can edit the build.prop to download it, the gear manager still needs TW to function properly.
Is there any way to get android 5.0.x with touchwiz (Maybe it doesn't need to be active, just the files for the gear to work? ).

I can tell you that at the moment there are no TW android L ROMs, you need to wait more as samsung relase it for some phone and some dev port it or samsung relase it for n2. Unfortunately thats all i know. Good luck

I use a note 2. Currently on DN4v2 and love it too.. but would love to see development of this rom for the note 2. AOSP/OMNI/SLIM are all great roms but when it comes to stylus functions which i use for office works to take quick notes etc etc, these cynogenmod based roms lack the stylus function completely rendering 1/4th of the note series main function useless.
I have tried AOSB (my personal favrit) and Resurrection remix lollipop- (the best lollipop rom out there) and very stable too but because of loss of pen functions i had to revert back to a touchwiz rom. current best touchwiz rom is DN4 for note 2. can some one start working on this?? we will support u.:laugh::good::silly:

In AOSP Lollipop ROMs such as Resurredtion Remix,Nameless and other CM12 based ROMs Stylus pen works with the help of free apks C Spen Addon,Note Buddy,Memo and Papyrus from Playstore.I am using them from day1.

I wish to install lollypop on note 2 as soon as possible. Now I'm on DN4 v2.1. For me is the best rom for my phablet

yeah but.....

fully aware my friend.. they require scipts to be excuted...3 to 4 apps to be installed to call back apps and activate them...and not to mention the high battery drain using those apps. I cant beleive that despite so many open source roms being made, no one makes spen functions possible with rom or even as an extra flashable zip. but thanks though:laugh:

Yeah, that could be like a couple of months or so. Now there are stock roms for the S5 that pack touchwith. Also the gear manager has been updated to work with android L sadly it requires yet the touchwith to work.
Could be possible now to pack any aosp/cm roms that could bring the functionality of Tw, even if is only for the Samsung apps to work?

Touchwiz lollipop Rom
Why you cant provide a touchwiz lolipop rom for n7100 user?
Grand 2 gets many lolipop style tochwiz roms, but more powerful and famous device note 2 does not get any touchwiz lolipop rom.
Feelimg very very sad...

But does it work smoothly???

Define smoothly…
1. Make a backup.
2. DL the rom and try it out.
3a. Revert back.
3b. Stay with the new rom.
Follow this guide and you will get the answer you seek.

Any luck soon???

Best clean rom?

Hello,
Its a long time ago that i rooted and put a custom rom on a android phone
Now i have a question.
What is the best custom clean Google experience rom, with a good battery life?
Greetzzz

What is your device that you are looking a ROM for?

The lg g3 d855 with the 3gb ram version.
The most i want vanilla Google

If you want a vanilla google experience then I would recommend Cyanogenmod or Mokee. These are probably as cm/aosp (I am pretty sure Mokee is cm based but don't take my word for it) based as you can get. You could also flash Paranoid Android 5.1.1 but the devs unfortunately have gone to work on oxygen OS.
If you want an aosp based rom with tweaks (Layers support): At the moment I would probably recommend XenonHD (in my opinion one of the smoothest roms and good battery life (for me anyway)). If you want nova launcher pre-installed I would recommend BrokenOS.
If you want a cm based rom (with tweaks) (CMTE support): Well I am running RR (Resurrection Remix) at the moment and I am loving it. I'm not sure if I am allowed, but if you want nova launcher pre-installed then I would recommend cyanide L.
I am assuming you know who cyanogenmod are. If not, I don't want to say anything that will get me flamed to oblivion by the community but they essentially make roms extremely close to google aosp.

Haha yes i know what cyanogenmod is
4 years ago i built my own custom rom but since then i stopped with developing anything for Android (bussy at my college).
Only functions i dont wanna lose is laser focus, 4k filming, knock on, and quick circle because i have a quick cover.

Then, the only possible rom that I think that you can flash without losing laser focus, 4k filming, knock on, and quick circle is novastock aosp styled. If you want quick circle you can install the quick circle theme app. I am pretty sure that you can flash a custom camera for 4k filming.
You will lose knock on. And for laser focus you will lose if you flash anything other than stock (I am pretty sure).
If you want a vanilla google experience you should flash one of the ROMs I suggested. But if you want to keep all those features the closest ROM that I can recommend is novastock 1.1 aosp styled.

Ah okay, thats the problem for me to put a custom rom on my phone, because i wanna use these functions.

Then your best bet would be novastock 1.1 aosp. It has all the functions and the devs try to make it as close to aosp as possible

And cloudyg3?

Cloudyg3 is a stock based ROM but will look like LG and feel like stock. With novastock it's themed to look like aosp. Also, cloudy has been stopped being developed

Ah okay yeah i dont want a stock rom with a themed aosp over it, i rather then have the stock rom.
Haha i just will start first rooting my phone and then look futher tnx for your help!

No problem

Now keep in mind with stock or in my case cloudy i use exposed modules and it is almost completly themeable i download keyboard themes from lg smartword but i love it all the themeing i need on mine is done througb exposed

Few questions about possible mods and custom ROMs

Hi Guys,
Just wanting a few questions answered if possible for when I get my Pixel 2 XL. I do not want to root the device.
On a custom ROM (Such as LineageOS flashed with GAPPS) , will the Google Camera app work fully as expected with HDR+, as on stock? If not, i'll probably want to keep stock.
When ROM's become available - How can I identify the ROM's that are stock with additional features, or ROM's built from AOSP - I've seen "AOSP" in thread titles, but what am I looking for ROM's built from stock? Hope this makes sense.
Aside from using an app, do you think a Mod can be made for stock that can enable Scrolling Screenshots? Such as; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34DQVZx74TE

Anyone?

Check the 6P page and open some of the ROM threads. They list all of the features. If you've never used any of the custom ROMs before give it a try. If you don't like anything just try another or flash stock image. I'm sure once you find one you like though, it will become a necessity. Pixel stock android is smooth, but the ROMs add to the experience IMO, not take away.

I already have. I've flashed Lineage OS and Paranoid Android. I believe they are both AOSP though. Can you provide me with a thread to a ROM that is stock based, and advise what you seen to confirm this?

@Nightmare79 , did you manage to get portrait mode working for the back camera on AOSP/Lineage Roms ?

If it is not AOSP based (or based on rom that is AOSP based), it should be stock based
