AOSP= Android open source project.
Cyanogen= this is the developer team.This team create many good custom roms, and Cyanogen a nick name,I think so

It is based on the AOSP coding with ALOT of changes and alot of recoding. So while it is based on the source code it is not pure AOSP.

Now I get it. Thank you very much zelendel :victory:

do they accept AOSP based kernels??? IE: I have CM 12.1 and want to use a KT aosp 5.1... Is that the correct conversion?
Thanks

No they don't accept AOSP kernels. They are as far away from AOSP as any oem rom

if i install a pure aosp rom, can i use cm themes?

No you cant. A pure AOSP rom doesnt have the theme engine and with the upcoming android version CM themes will no longer work due to RRO which is android own theming set up.

Cyanogenmod 10.1 DNA discussion thread

As stated in the cm 10.1 dev thread lets keep the general CM discussions here instead of cluttering the dev thread.
Great idea - now we can have all the misguided, misinformed speculation we want as to what hurdles have yet to be cleared before the DNA gets official CM nightly support
jk
Haha, exactly.
Actually, I think efforts might soon be underway to port straight AOSP as well I hope what I've heard (I can't give details, so please don't ask) comes to fruition.
That'd be great. I've been trying to learn more about programming and the build system so I can start helping out with some of it. I've setup ubuntu and sync and build cm every couple of days and I've been messing with building aokp since its based on cm.
AOKP, PA, PAC ROMs me want
Also some AOSP kernels as well

I made a few changes and aokp started to build but I came across an error and haven't had time to look into it. If I get it built I'll try to learn some more about git and upload the source

Why pure aosp as opposed to CM?

Because a lot of popular ROMs out there are based on AOSP rather than on CM. Besides, there's always room for both right?
I'd love to try pure AOSP. I've always had HTC devices so I never got the pure Android experience.

because I want android and not all the stuff that comes with CM, if I want themes and mods ill do them myself
Does anyone have any resources that break down the build process?
I'm pretty excited for the 10.1 rom to become a daily driver. Once it's complete I hope to see possible other roms that are desensed... I'm sick of sense! I want some unadulterated android (or close to it)!
why would you want an aosp kernel? how are they better?

Sense kernels won't work on aosp and the stock one they included in CM can't be overclocked or undervolted.

The kernel we are using right now is our stock kernel with cm commits. It doesn't include overclock or any other features because they could cause more bugs. Better to work all the bugs out of cm before you start doing things that could introduce more. Cplamer has already said that he has run a custom kernel with cm on his DNA so it is definitely going to happen. Just have to wait or build your own kernel unfortunately.

The other reason is because they're making so many changes to cm right now to get it working that a new kernel would have to be released for every update. I believe T1gartist has been running cm oc'd with a custom kernel as well

If you have the source it's not hard to add overclocking.
I'm not a dev or anything but I built AOKP

I read some stuff this morning about OmniROM.
Nice to see this philosophy in Note II section! Thanks.
Awesome, can't wait to flash.
Is this based on CM or completely independent fork built from AOSP? If second, not many features are probably done yet right?

They are actually (ex) CM developers. With the recent changes in the CyanogenMod team, some devleopers decided to follow a different path and started OmniRom project.
Of course the project is based on Cyanogenmod which they contributed to for years, but in time, differences will be more obvious.
The good thing is, @pulser_g2 is with them, a guy is dedicated to Note 2

This is a beta so...for now its very good. Waiting for new settings.....this team is awesome....
Thanks!
Right no root access... How can i root this rom?
No root? That is dealbreaker for me actually
Or it is like before where you can just flash SuperSU and it works?

[Q] Confusion about android basics

Tbh, i know just jack about ROMs and aokp or aosp builds.
Im much confused between what are and the differences b/w AOSP and AOKP builds. and what is Omega (is it a ROM? or is the base for AOKP. i mean i just dont understand all this confusion .. u get the idea how much i know )
if CM is a ROM and AOSP is its base, then is CM also on AOKP ? if im wrong in what i understand pls correct and teach me from zero.
i know about rooting phone just confused between all the technical terms and ROMs and builds and whats Omega, and hows it diff from CM etc. etc.
Pls im desperate and eager. Anybodies time is greatly appreciated
Thanks!
just btw, using galaxy s3 (intl.) rooted and cm11 nightly flashed.
All ROMs are based on AOSP. Since that's the thing people call Android. There are then ROMs that are based on any of the 3 biggest ROMs out there. So you might see a ROM that's based on CM which in turn is based on AOSP.

No, CM is not on AOKP. They are two completely different derivatives of AOSP. I have no idea what omega is. You'll just have to do some research for yourself.

I think zim's rom is most stable, although it doesn't have many customizations like other rom.

No, you didn't ask anything, there are no question marks in the OP.
The kernel source its there, Android source is there too. Go build yourself a ROM.
The closest right now is LineageOS, you can find it on Development section

1st of all who the hell asked you to build ??
So why are you doing this show off.if devs want to build they will. We are here to give our opinion and suggestion.
How about we all take a chill pill and relax a little for a bit. There are clear misunderstandings from posts that could have been worded more clearly, so we'll leave it at that.
As for AOSP roms running smoother than CM/LOS, CM/LOS is based on AOSP. Speed in roms is different the type of changes that are implemented into the rom, like how AOSPA is using LTO throughout their repos. Some AOSP roms add in compiler optimizations to speed up performance (like AOSPA), but it will cause regressions on certain devices with older/faulty hardware. Just my 2 cents, overall, performance on CM/LOS is not much different than any other AOSP rom out there, since they're essentially the same when it's down to the basics.
