Hi,
Can someone make clear to me as a noobie what are the differences between "cores" of the ROMs?
I see there are most favourite ones like "XWLP9" and "AOKP" - what are the differences between them? I see AOKP has more updates from kernel and maybe some other things in addons? Besides XWLP9 seems to me more stable but I only observe rom peoples comments and replys so can someone tell me which ROM core I should be focused on when choosing ROM? Some advices, experiences what you have with them - ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES maybe or something ... I see there are roms like these two from what I want to choose:

Google is your friend.
XWLP9 is the latest stock/official ROM version from Samsung for the SGS2 (GT-I9100).
So, these kind of ROMs are based on Samsung stock ROMs ... with some customizations (e.g. rooted, some removed bloatware, some custom themes/mods, etc.).
The other kind of custom ROMs have AOSP (Android open source project) or ASKP (Android open kang project).
So, they are either on pure Google Android OS or Linux. Usually there is a team of developers who share their parts/versions in binaries and as source code.
The kernel is kind of "core" of the firmware.
Every ROM contains its own kernel, as this is a basic part of the firmware ... and the phone can't work without it.
You can also flash other (custom) kernels on a ROM.
But not every kernel is compatible with every ROM.
OK thank you I read about these two a lot i needed some experienced opinion and clearing it up for me.
What I basically needed was opinions about these two versions from experienced users. If non oficial and trully open made ROM is better and in what ways or is it better to stay on oficial ones etc. This is what i wanted most from this thread ...
Hello,
I came here desperate for answers that could solve my problem with "M-signature" not working on custom (not SAM-based) ROMs.
"M-signature" (aka "Mobile ID") is a way to connect to bank via phone (you get a special personal SIM card, you go to your e-banking site, enter your phone number, get a pop-up message on phone screen (see attached), enter PIN on the phone and voila - connected into e-bank).
This "M-signature" works on Stock Rom, also on Samsung based ROMs: null_ ROM v25, NeatROM EMC2, UltimaRom v11, but doesn't work with AOSP (Slim Bean, Dragon SlimBean), AOPK/CM (Pac-man), MIUI (_miui.polymorph_)...
Problem is I love Slim Bean or Pac-man and can't really get used to sam-based (they're ugly, i find them slower, battery not appealing, etc.) - could I find a way to make that "M-signature" work on AOSP/AOPK/CM ROMs??
Biggest thanks in advance.

It shouldn't act like that, android app should be compatible with everything running an android, not only samsung. Unless it's dedicated only to GT-I9300.
I know this won't solve your issue but there are plenty of samsung-based roms with really cool aosp themes, bunch of tweaks and really well made. I don't want to recommend my own work but take a look if you wish, perfect example of stock rom with non-stock look.

Thnx JustArchi for answer (at least somebody wrote smth ).
That is not an app - it's a SIM card "feature" (a special, associated with my personal info (from my passport) SIM card which, I guess initiates those "pop-up messages").
It works this way: you go to www.example-mybank.com, enter there my ID and phone number, then (i guess) the special SIM card pushes a message "do you want to connect" (and shows control code to be sure it's your connection), enter your special PIN, and SIM card gives command to my bank "OK, let him in, it's really <Evaldino>" and the e-bank opens up for me
So, I guess it's something with "SIM services" (don't know how to call them - I'm a noob user), which work only on Stock or Sam-based ROMs, so perhaps CM/AOSP/MIUI lack a "module" or smth for these "SIM services" to work...
Also, this M-signature works on all smart devices (not only Samsung, not only Android, also on iOS, maybe even WinOS).
I see no other option as to try those SAM-based (though not really happy about that), so I'll definetely look into your ROM (I like 240DPI, circular battery, if only 4x4 pattern lock for locking screen), because for ex. on ReVolt (Sam-based, yes?) "m-signature" doesn't work (though I kind of liked this ROM)..
To be honest I'm surprised it works at all on a rooted device bearing in mind security etc....many banking apps/features won't work, especially with insecure kernel....I guess for a good reason...although not being particularly tech I wouldn't like to even attempt to explain why!
Please mind you that it may work on AOSP like the nexus builds but not work on CM based roms as they change ALOT of the AOSP code. That includes alot of the security protocols.

You have a point here.. didn'nt even think about that.. However, I'm not very "paranoid" and I don't think it's very insecure (to my little android security understanding)

But I tried my beloved Slim Bean (AOSP based, right?) - not working.. maybe it's "too much changed" AOSP? What i9300 ROM is "purest" AOSP - I'll try?

There are no pure aosp roms for most devices. They all use something from CM. Be it kernel or some of the coding as aosp only supports the nexus line as a base. Everything else is a fork.

So, how did you solved this problem, if you did? I wonder if this problem we are facing is only applicable in Lithuania as I can't even google some more sources on this issue...

There is no way to solve it. It will not work on AOSP based roms.

Actually I just flashed this one [ROM][Mar 17] Jellybean 4.2.2 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [Kernel 3.1.10] [JDQ39] #19 and at last it works! Will try to use this ROM for some time to be sure everything works, but it at least the biggest problem is solved.
By the way, I forgot to mention in my first post, I'm on HTC One X (International version with Tegra), but hope there is a workaround for SIII too.
For Samsung Galaxy Mini there is AOSP ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413108)
can somebody please make a aosp 4.2.2 rom
it will be amazing as aosp roms give really nice performance and all aosp roms for our phones are not available (links removed)
even battery life shall be amazing!!!
please can somebody take this project ??
Is request for roms even allowed??
Don't forget to hit thanks
In my opinion it is fine to ask, but if to many requests pop up... we will close them.
so where can i request??
I have Installed several Android 4.3.1 based ROMs but non has the User (Multi user) option. Only PACMAN ROM has it. My question is shouldn't Android 4.3.1 have the Multi user ability built in? and if so why only PACMAN has it and not others like the latest slim build or aokp etc....
Sorry if this is redundant question or been answered before but really that feature is the most important development made by android and most needed. It is frustrating to see it omitted on such great ROM like Slim Build.
Thank you in advance and apologize for any shortcomings in my question.
Bump for exposure and hopefully someone can help him out. :highfive:

I'm not positive, but I think this is a google featured implemented in 4.2. I think the ROMs you may be using might have just taken those features out.
JESUS CHRIST!!! I'm just trying to edit the butttons that come up when you use PIE. I've been trying to figure this out because I already have hardware buttons that pie provides and I want to remove them. Veerrrryyy simple goal but i cant find a thread or search result explaining how to do it in the PACMan rom. I flashed a nightly to my One so Im thinking they removed the option to edit the buttons. Can ANYONE tell me how to do it in the rom? Tried posting in the thread but i'm not allowed because I'm a lurker. **** i even tried to bring some bugs to the attention of the developers and couldn't even do that...cuz i lurk:cyclops:
