ics-mr1 vs android-4.0.3_r1 ??? What's difference - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering what is the difference between these two branches. I think the ics-mr1 is the aosp branch. Maybe I am wrong.
I was just looking to start my own AOSP ROM which one should I use?
Maybe I am just paranoid.
I started compiling the 4.0.3 branch anyway

[Q] CyanogenMod 7 with 2.3.4 ?

any ideas or experiences how long it could take to built an CyanogenMod 7 ROM with the new 2.3.4 version?

Well, 59 isn't out yet so they might incorporate it into it. If not then possibly 60.
It should be in there in a day or so

It will come
It will take a while for them to incorporate it.
The 2.3.4_r1 development branch has already been pushed to AOSP & is available as Gingerbread including a push to master branch on top. Essentially the code is available - just upto folks at CM.

[Q] Any word on 2.3.3 compatible kernels?

Just curious if anyone was working on one. I'm sure someone is but ya know... I'm all sortsa impatient. I have a feeling that a rom based on stock 2.3 with an optimized OC kernel will be smoother and faster than Cyanogen Mod based roms. I'm looking forward to finding out.
no because source has not been released

AOKP vs CM10 - Main difference

Hi all, on my ex android smartphones I always have installed CM roms .
But now I can't find what difference there are between CM10 and AOKP.
I don't know what of this two good rom (reading the relative thread).
Can you explain it to me?
thanks a lot
W
ps: sorry if is an existing thread, but I don't find anythings on google.
AOKP:
http://aokp.co/index.php/about
CM10 = Cyanogen
They each have their websites--
Both are Kangs if you will of AOSP which is Googles unaltered OS. Pure AOSP like the Nexus One came with.
The two above are based on that with features added. May not be same features and other Devs may add their own features/cherry picks to them.
Hope that helps, I am not dev savvy and this is just a layman answer--

Just because there are some homebrew ports doesn't mean that MIUI is 4.2 yet.

Why does it matter ? We use unofficial ROMs anyway...
sent from me
That's like saying that since a car, airplane, and weed-whacker all run on gas, you should just put the same stuff in each. Actually, the unofficial ROMS is a more tenuous connection than my gas connection. It's more like saying that since a bullet train, horse, and diesel bus all run on fuel, the fuel which goes into each shouldn't matter. It's all fuel.
Hey, you could (please don't) use an unofficial Vibrant ROM too. That's unofficial. What's the difference? The difference is that it won't work. And might brick your phone. That's bad.
Our only current Aries kernel is 4.2.2 and still has issues. MIUI is still 4.1.2 and would introduce an entirely new set of issues tied into GPS, Bluetooth, and so forth if/when a 4.1.2 Aries kernel was compiled. Does that make it impossible? No. But it means that as the build impetus - when MIUI is 4.2 - has not happened yet... it's not a great use of time yet. Unless one of the devs wants it. In which case, MIUI being not-updated is something they don't need to be hammered over the head with.

4.2.2?
Port. If YOU see source linked from that page so our devs could actually do something useful to build that...
Hi Theraze
I have to disagree with you.
Port is not a dirty word and most of our ROMs are actually ports and not built from source. Furthermore, MIUI ROM is usually ported and not built from source and only recently did Xiaomi open their sources for the public. Even more than that, both MIUI versions brought to us by Beast were ports from Nexus and not built from source.
Now, regarding the incompatibility between kernel & OS - if it works on Nexus, I assume the adjustments were made, so one can enjoy both 4.2.2 & MIUI benefits. There is no logical reason why it couldn't be ported to our beloved device.
sent from me
I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying that our build-from-source dev who asked you to let him know when it hit 4.2 hasn't had his request met.
Does that mean that someone (him or another dev) CAN'T port it? Nope. But it makes it a lot less likely that air can just pull the source in and compile it using the Aries bits if the buildable MIUI is still only 4.1.2 and our Aries is 4.2.2 instead.
Again, I think we're agreeing on the general bits... yes, this is possible. But airfluip1 asked to be notified when buildable MIUI was 4.2.2 and that's when he said he'd build it. Not port it.
I don't care if a ROM is ported or built from source.
I will try to play with porting it myself.

[Q] Kernel compatibility

Hello xda members.
I've got a question regarding kernels. How is one to know which kernel will work with there particular ROM? Are they all somewhat compatible just to a matter of degree? Or do people just find one that sounds good and hope it works on there particular ROM?
I'm running aosb end of the line ROM and I'm real curious to try out kernels now.
Any insight world be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
There are pretty much 2 types of kernels.
CAF kernels - Used for CyanogenMod based ROMS
NON-CAF kernels - Used for AOSP / Stock
Find out if your ROM is CM based. If it is, Look in each kernel thread to see if it mentions CAF.
Hi,
This rom is based on CM so you need a kernel compatible with CM roms like (or tagged with "CAF"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551441 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661397...
Maybe there is one or two others, don't remember exactly.
