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--

Ask 100 people that question and you'll get 100 different answers as to why one or the other is better. Doesn't take too long to install a new ROM, and trying them both out is the only way to determine which is best for you.
Failing that, the search button will yield tons of answers, and you probably should have used it first in this case.
I've used earlier versions of CM (on the OG Droid) and I liked it quite a bit. The major difference is that SkyICS (which I am currently using as well) is built on the TouchWiz (Samsung) sources, while CMx is built on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) sources. CM is more "pure" Android with some tweaks done by their very good team. Both have benefits.
I haven't personally tried CM9 (waiting on AOKP JB or CM10 semi-stable).
Really it's up to you. It won't take any more time to install CM9 than it took to install SkyICS, if that is a concern. I haven't read anything about echoing on CM9 stable, but read up either on the cyanogenmod forums or here in our dev section.
I do not allow "best" threads. Read and try them out yourself and make that decision yourself.

Hey guys, I have been looking for a jb miui ROM for this device and i cant find one, i know there are some ics miui ROMs, but i would really like a jb miui ROM.
There is one for the vibrant, can I use it for my Galaxy s 4G or can anyone port it to our device?

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.
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.

Since you are running aosb which is CM based Rom you can try the above 2 given and also the elemental X for CAF based Roms
thank you guys. now to go check em out...
Hi,
I see at least 3 different CM11 roms based on kitkat:
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524961 [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4.2 KitKat [KANG] [May-6]+[NIGHTLIES]
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073 [ROM][STABLE][Android 4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11 with 3.0.16 kernel [July 25, 2014]
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692278 [UnORom][3.4Kernel] CM-11 Android 4.4.4 [Stable v2.0][29 July][Final]
All more or less unmaintained as far as I can see - please correct me if I'm wrong!
What are the remaining difficulties to get a official CM11 ROM out of these? Then a lot more infrastructure from CM could be used - e.g. development tools, build machines & downloads. If the problem is to get a build machine on which 3-5 persons could would together over the Internet - I'll spend a vserver on my own dedicated server if there is a serious effort to bring up an official CM11 ROM.
If there are rather tiny things I could try(!) to help - I have almost no experience with android system development, but with Linux and development (C, Java, embedded devices,...) in general.
Two links for the rough procedure:
* http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro - the hard part, but luckily almost done (isn't it?)

+1 for uptodate pure CM11 rom for sensation. I hope someone will join to you.
I think Flemmard's variant of CM is ready to be official!
official CM11 to Sensation!!!! We need it
+1
+1 It would be great thing for senny to so see official CM11 because many developers left us.
I don't think it's possible to make an official CM11 for our phone. IIRC, to be official it can't use legacy drivers and for the CM11 to work on our phone, I think we are using drivers from ICS because that's until where our drivers are updated, I'm not sure.
And "official" one in other hand would be amazing, I tried PA and etc but I always return to CM.

Flemmards CM use KK drivers.
+1 for me too.
It's good to take a question - how many developers are developing at this moment?
Albinoman moved to Galaxy S5
SultanXDA has forced to developing Nexus 5 device
Shantur give up his work and we can flash new builds only if Sajito will up new version (contains upstream changes)
Ivanich has decided to close his storage, so we cannot download anything...
...Ideas?

That's not true... Team Venom also left us
For now we have official slimkat builds and maybe bilal liberty still develops for senny.
That's sad. We had many great developers and suddenly many of them left us. It will be great to see official CM builds.
Thats very sad, why they all leaving, i dont understand that. How's Ivanich latest 08/27 rom? Better than Sultan 07/25?

The good thing is that all the great developers left us with good ROMs.
I think it is difficult to replace the devs. I can't fix the bugs they didn't fix until now, but I would like to try to keep at least one of the Cyanogenmod ROMs updated with upstream. I think in a month or two I will have time to start with that (if no one else is doing it until then).
@mifritscher: I think the lack of a build (or at least download-) server was a problem for devs here and then. So yes, your offer could be very helpful! Thanks for that!

Sensation is a 3 year old device. i think as the devs have moved on to other devices, so should we. though our sensation has a lot of potential, i dont think devs will work on an android L port or making CM11 official. though there is hope with ivanich & bilal_liberty

I can give storage space and bandwidth if it's useful, please contact me to discuss the details.
I can build but i dont know how to make a device tree so if someone can do the device trees i can do the builds
I don't know if we have everything working as on stock, also I don't know if the rom would pass cts.
But even if everything works, I don't think there's anyone around who has enough time to maintain an official build.
But at this point there's only one cm which is still updated and that's ivanich's one. Where's the difference in having an official build?
Where to go from here?
I'm just a casual user looking for a ROM. Going through these threads is confusing and so many links are dead.
What available for the sensation right now?

Except for official slimkat all available and maintained roms are part of DevB so just click here in forum in the dev:db bar on roms.
Hi guys, i am new to android and everything and i have an intention to build a CM based ROM for Hammerhead and i really looking forward on help. I need beta testers and a dev who can help me out, cuz so far iḿ following the rom building guide by this guy called jackeagle, and honestly sometimes it just makes no sense at all so I appreciate any help, don't judge me by any reason.
If you want to build CM rom use CM instructions (there are on cm wiki page). If you want your customizations you need github, fork cm source and modify it.
After it you need to modify local_manifest to use your source, not CM to build rom and voila, everything should work fine.
I know what i'm saying, i've built CM roms for D802, WT19i and some other devices.
