Based on Android 2.2 Froyo EC05 Official Release. CWM3 and EXT4 only.
See change log in second post.
Welcome
Simply AOSP was created originally as a personal project but extended to something I thought I'd share. I noticed there was a missing link in the Froyo Roms, and that was a 100% functional AOSP OR AOSP-CLONE type of ROM.
Think CM7 with Samsung's Sources.
Requirements
CWM3
EXT4
Wipe x3
Your data WILL be lost when you flash this. The scripts intentionally don't backup and restore Data. I have noticed Mixed results with this type of data retention, backup with Titanium Backup BEFORE you flash. You've been warned
EC05 Modem (Newer Gingerbread Modems such as EF02 have also been reported to work just fine! As always I only test against the latest stable release which is EC05)
DI18 or EB13 Modem will automatically be updated.
Common Sense
What is it?
The goal of this ROM is to provide the most AOSP experience possible.
With that said. I'm not going to cripple certain aspects of the phones functionality simply in the name of AOSP. Therefore the Samsung Calendar / Email / Camera and Camcorder apps remain.
The Touchwiz Launcher has been removed, the Touchwiz Framework is still present because the core depends on it and it could not be easily removed (it may be plain and simply not possible).
Who will like this?
People who enjoy AOSP and want something that feels like stock android.
Bugs? Future? If I like this will you update it in the future?
Bugs:
You will need to run "/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha" to fix auto-rotate.. or it will be really slow.
Directions for this if you've never ran a script in *nix:
Open up ADB (adb shell)
From the shell prompt issue these commands..
1.) su
2.) /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
3.) Place the phone on a level surface... hit enter. Done!
Will it be updated in the future?
Yes. But like any other ROM's, keep the ETA talk to a minimum. Bugs will be dealt with immediately if possible, enhancement/feature updates are on no schedule.
If you like this great! Enjoy using it.. if you don't like it.. that's fine to.. Credits to all the great developers who have made this ROM possible!

-AOSP Theme switcher with the choices of the two AOSP themes and Stock Touchwiz just to keep it true to this being a Samsung device.
-Ability to choose between different Lockscreen styles coming in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reverted back to stock EC05 Gallery
"AOSP-Clone" Messaging application - Thank you for the suggestion qbking77 and the responsible developer.
Past Versions:
Version 1.1.2.7
Fixed a few icons that were left over in the original theme.
Added battery % mod.
Modified the signal strength meter to be slightly more accurate. Your signal MIGHT appear weaker due to the increased accuracy, but you didn't actually lose anything.
-Semi-Nerdy Explanation: Sprints signal strength is being calculated to represent 6 bars if you count zero. It was setup for real bars 4,5 and 6 were represented by "full strength 4 out of 4 bars". This produced signal bars that were almost always full, which isn't a bad thing but not as accurate as it could be. I changed it to
1 and 2 real bars of strength is represented by 1 out of 4 bars in the icon (1/6 and 2/6 are roughly 16% and 33% signal strength, represented by 25% on the icon.)
3 real bars (roughly half strength) are represented by 2 out of 4 bars. (Self explanatory 3/6 and 2/4 = 50%)
4 real bars are represented by 3 out of 4 bars. (4/6 is 66% and represented by 75%)
5 and 6 real bars are represented by 4 out of 4 bars. (5/6 is 83% and represented by 100%)
So the inaccuracies in the icon are +/- 9-17% versus +/- 14-34% when I started.
Version 1.2.2.7
CynagenMod 6 Music Player with Status Bar integration. - Thanks to Eliot Stocker for the Mod.
^Samsung Music Player Removed.
AOSP Calculator Application replaces the Samsung one despite there being no functional difference.
AOSP Settings Icons
More theme changes - Improved Status Bar Toggle Appearance - Matches Power Control App (Thanks to Master, Author of the Vibrant AOSP Clone, 4 of the 5 icons are his.)
Improved Notification Overlay from TwFramework21
AOSP 2.2 Keyboard replaces the Gingerbread one (This will be controversial but this is AOSP 2.2.. not 2.3)
Added Car Home (Music shortcut is currently broken, looking into fix)
Added News and Weather App and Widget
Version 1.3.2.7 - Not being released, merged with 2.0
Fixed Duplicate Ringtones / Notification Tones.
Full Battery Popup and Tone remove - Thanks to untermensch for the write up.
Volume Hack - Thanks to the ViperROM team! Works great!!
Version 2.0
Based on Bonsai 2.0.1. Incredible increase in performance, probably due to the EXT4 mods/improvements, YMMV.
Battery life improvements.
Name changed to Simply AOSP.
All 1.3.2.7 changes are included in this.
Added protips (Useless? Maybe. AOSP? Definitely.)
Version 2.1
Based on Official Froyo EB13
New boot screen - Credits to OptmsPrm21
New kernel. - Credits to Rodderick
Sport Mode Camera FC Resolved (Thanks to our awesome new kernel)
Video Camera Lag Fixed (Also thanks to our new kernel)
Version 2.2
Wireless Tether added by default.
Wired Tether also added.
LogsProvider.apk fixed to no longer log text messages in your call log. Thanks to Mammon88. (This will not delete already existing SMS entries in your log, instead it just prevents new ones)
Samsungs Built in Screen Capture Service has been removed. (I was getting random force close issues with the .apk in place, use DroCap instead if you need shots)
Genocide Kernel with Keyboard Patch and 100mhz fix. (Improved Battery Life and Keyboard Response).
Carrier IQ service removed - Thanks to the ACS team.
Removed Samsungs Clock utility. Added Desk Clock
Version 3.0.2
3.0.2 Patch - 1x Icon Enabled
3.0.2 Patch - Browser Fixed (CM6 Browser not yet tested so just the stock Samsung browser is included. It will checkerboard occasionally but at least it doesn't crash anymore )
3.0.2 Patch - Rebuilt system - Fixed EB13/EC05 mixup.
3.0.2 Patch - Wireless Tether Included by default again. Fixed and works out of the box properly.
3.0.2 Patch - Wired Tether still included but not functional. EC05 breaks this functionality. As soon as there is a work around I will quickly implement it.

3.0.1 Patch - LogsProvider.apk fixed to not include texts in your call log. (Thanks to k0nane!!!!!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greatly improved Browser from CM7. (Thanks to the ACS team!) No more checker boarding.
Removed Car Home for now.
100MHZ Step Disabled by default. A few times I had trouble waking the phone with the 100MHZ step enabled, however battery life could be improved with it enabled, you may play with it in Voltage Control. Be sure to click Apply for Now to put the setting into effect and Save as Boot Settings if you want to keep it for good.
Automatic Modem updating from DI18 or EB13 (Thanks to the Bonsai Team)
Wireless Tether Removed due to stability and functionality problems that I have been unable to resolve. Will look into adding it by default again in the future.
No longer a Froyo Clone, updated to a Gingerbread Clone
Froyo Theme Pack could easily be produced if there is a demand.
Keyboard Lag Fix + the addition of TheImpalers optimization.
Journaling now enabled by default to improve stability. Will create a likely unnoticed ~2% decrease in I/O performance
Gingerbread Desk Clock Application
Added Reboot to Power Options
Added Voltage Control for overclocking. (Stock is NOT overclocked, Overclock at your own risk!!)
Genocide Kernel
Ok. I'll try it in the am.

I didn't do anything original.. just a combination of AOSP elements built on Quantum..that again started as something for just myself to reduce the amount of needed zips. I'm sure someone will enjoy it.. just not you.

Build info from the original build.prop. Stock rom here (not recommended for normal users).
I removed some stock apps & Google apps. Updated the market. Redoxed & resigned. Rooted with latest chainsdd superuser. modified dta2sd. CM7 libm.so (antutu floating point fix). CM7 bash. CM7 openvpn. CM7 keyboard. CM7 gps shim. CM7 apns. Added CM7 Magic Smoke live wallpaper. CM7 Contacts, messaging & dialler. CM7 DeskClock. BusyBox 1.19 - official armv6 binary from busybox.net here. Gen1 & Gen2 compatible. Cache on tmpfs. Few small tweaks.
Custom 2.6.35 kernel with overclocking, lots of cpu governors & i/o schedulers, led notification fix, cifs, tun.ko (module), ext4, undervolting, tweaks & fixes, etc. Thanks to Burstlam & Tom G for lots of code for that. Source code here - https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35
Most things that you'd expect seem to work. Please report any bugs. Some bugs may be ZTE's fault & hard to fix due to no source code. This is a basic stripped down modded stock rom, with few custom features, it will stay that way. Don't ask me for extra customisations, make them yourself & release them as addons in your own thread, or just use CM7.
Usual disclaimer applies, no guarantees, I'll just laugh if it breaks your phone, etc.

Cool - the story called "GSF" still goes on - I'm impressed.
After several weeks of being completely satisfied with Elitemovil's ROM, I wanted to try yours. And I have to say: well done. Everything seems to work as it should.
Calls, Sensors, WLAN, USB are working. No bugs so far.
The GPS fix lasts some time but that seems to vary in general - just a first impression.
Stable and smooth from what I see.
Thanks for sharing this new version of GSF.
Edit: Hmm, no overclocking? Didn't you say kernel with oc? And Antutu's Benchmark gave 200 points less than standard Moldovan or Elitemovil. Do I need to change some configs?
There is overclocking support in the kernel, you just need to use an app like nofrills cpu or setcpu (not included) to enable it, or edit a config file in /system/etc/init.d
Antutu & other android benchmarks are poor, not really worth paying any attention to. It might even be a feature that improves the overall performance of the phone affecting the benchmark, like autogroup scheduling. It could just be that you're comparing results at stock speed in this rom vs overclocking in other roms. I can't see much difference, I just got 1600 at stock speed in antutu & 1708 at 672mhz, which is about what I'd expect. It can vary randomly between different runs too.
Maybe it is one of the ZTE libs, I only replaced one for performance reasons in this (libm.so, compiled from cm7 source), I replaced more in the old gsf. libm.so from the zte rom appears to be compiled to use software floating point emulation, despite the cpu having hardware floating point (vfp)... that reduces the antutu floating point score drastically, although it doesn't have much effect on performance in reality... probably some other zte built libs were compiled with sub-optimal compiler optimisation flags too. I think most apps & games where performance is important will probably have their own optimised libraries, so it wont make any difference.
I don't want to replace too many files in this rom for stability reasons. I don't have the source code for this rom, it's closed source, we don't know what modifications zte has made. If I start using too many library files compiled from CM7 source then it could cause problems due to Cyanogen & ZTE both modifying the code in different ways. There could be some unexpected & hard to track down bugs caused by it.
Updated.
r2: Updated Market. Removed extra apps, fonts & ringtones, added them as separate addons.
Hi mate, grate rom
I'm having problems with the proximity sensor, the screen got black after a call and none of the buttons work, I simply have to remove the battery.
Is there any chance that I can regulate the sensor?

Any new rom will seem to use more battery at first (or less, then suddenly drop), it takes a while to build up accurate battery stats. It seems similar to the old gsf for battery life to me. It's really hard to compare battery life between different roms & test it properly, you certainly haven't had time to do it yet.
There will be a few small improvements that should increase battery life in the next version, like under-volting the wifi adaptor & a few optimisations to make things a bit more efficient.
I see. OK then let's give more time to the rom. Tanks mate!

Hi, wbaw.
I was a keen user of Ginger Stir Fry for a very long time.
After this post,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18273709&postcount=138
...I was wondering if you could give us your opinion of the official 2.3.5 compared to the latest CM7 nightly.
Please and Thank you.

Overall CM7 is better & always will be. However there are still a few bugs in CM7 which are different to the bugs in ZTE 2.3.5. The camera works better in this (hopefully works on the Libra now too, but I can't test) & the battery might last a bit longer. Some people prefer the ZTE dialler & apps too.
So I just made it to broaden the choice of roms available, some people prefer the bugs in this version compared to the bugs in CM7.
Also, if I get time, I want to get Dolby Mobile working in this, taken from the skate. It might be a bit easier to get it working in a ZTE rom than CM7. That's the real reason for the rom, but I might not get time, it might never happen.
The goal is to make it as small, fast, low power & stripped down as possible to provide a base for developers to add things to & test. Also to test out & demonstrate kernel patches (mainly from other people) & other small performance optimisations that might not get accepted in to cyanogenmod, I'm trying to keep it stable & close to stock at the same time though. It's good to have a variety of roms available & it might help or push the cyanogenmod developers to fix some of the bugs which aren't present in ZTE roms. It's easier to compare with a stripped down rooted 'gen2' converted rom rather than a full gen3 stock rom, especially as the main cm7 dev for the blade has a gen1 tpt updated to gen2 phone & doesn't use windows, so can't update to gen3.
It might also be suitable as a daily rom for somebody who just wants basic stable, fast rooted Gingerbread with decent battery life & camera, if they don't want all the CM7 customisations.
As usual, great work wbaw... Will try it out tonight while at work!

Thanks for letting me know it works. I can't test it, my camera always worked.
There are different camera sensors from different manufacturers in different versions of the Blade & Libra.
Full source code for the kernel driver for the new camera in the Libra hasn't been released by ZTE (illegal, gpl violation!). Burstlam & Tom G had to piece together the code themselves. I was just using Tom G's patch before, which works for CM7, but it needed another extra patch from Burstlam to get it working for ZTE roms with a custom kernel.
First of all good to see you back and developing roms wbaw!
i decided to to give this rom a try becouse i like roms that are more like the stock one, and this far i love it!
I made a quick percentage batteryicon and black statusbar/notification for who wants to give it a try: http://www.multiupload.com/ATUFNMSZL1
Hi,
don't kill me! i know that someone should choose the rom looking at his needs. But i have to clean a p500 of a friend and i need a suggestion on a rom.
- I've seen that there are many ICS\JB roms, but the P500 can handle one of this without becoming incredibly slow?
- Indipendently from the andorid version i need a lightweight rom, that dosen't take too much memory (since it is not much by default) and with a low battery drain.
- I prefer something fast and stable instead of something with more features but slow and full of bug
- The owner of the p500 had until now the stock rom, so he don't really need extraordinary customizations (so considering the point above i want to avoid the cyanogen roms)
have you any suggestions?
You should try SlimBean by popdog123. I really like this rom, and I'm looking forward to future updates on it.
If you prefer to have everything working, you should use CM 7.2 or CM 9. JB is good, but it lacks of wifi tethering and occupies too much space, so you need to use a ext partition on your SD card.
Original development section seriously? Mod plz move the thread.

I would like to ask you for opinion what is best ROM for you. I recently rooted my I9505 and installed CM 12.1 but I want to check another viable ROMs, but there are SO many ones in android development section
Since I love to play many games on my phone, Im looking for a rom that is categorized in order by:
- Maximum performance and fps stability
- System stability (yes it is at second place )
- Battery usage (Im using greenify)
- Features
Im open to any suggestions. In few days these is some free time for testing ROMs
Optimized CM13 or AOSP 6 by JDC Team. In Stweaks app, select the extreme performance profile. Antutu scores over 35000 while other roms score around 32000.
Yet for gaming, I believe 5.1.1 is better, JDC Team made those as well.
^ what he/she said.
When it comes to performance, JDCTeam roms are best, due to the included alucard kernel.
Switch to the extreme performance profile and you're good to go. Note that not all settings take effect after applying the profile, so you may need to reboot.
You will also get good up time, because the kernel automaitically switches to a low power mode when the screen is off.
But when it is in use you will get about 2 hours SOT.
With extreme battery you may get around 4-5 hours SOT.
The stock cm kernel, that comes with pretty much every rom, is ok and all for everyday usage, but when it comes to performance it kinda sucks compared to custom kernels.
@GDReaper Paradoxically, on CM 12.1 with performance battery profile (in notifcation bar) I get AnTuTu score near 38k. However, when I tested JDCTeam optimized CM 12.1 and changed to performance battery mode in notification bar, I got at least 30k score (however I haven't modified kernel via STweaks yet). Maybe I should give it a try .
By the way, is Alucard custom kernel contains fast charging feature? I wanted to test it as well
That battery mode from CM only changes the CPU governor to Performance.
Alucard kernel changes many different settings depending on the kernel profile.
Also, the S4 does not have fast-charge built-in. Only the newer phones have that feature.
Then I don't know why standard CM rom gave me so high score.
However I will test again Optimized CM 12.1 and reply back tomorrow (making backup and so on)
Optimized CM13 by JDC Team is the best in my opinion.
I would go for stock based one like lollirom v8
best stability, no lag over time...
Thank you all for answers
Checked Optimized CM 12.1 and changing profile in STweaks to extreme performance really gives huge boost (over 38k score) as well as extreme battery cuts its performance when battery is more important (under 30k score).
The only cons is that changing between profiles takes about 20-30 seconds but it doesn't bother me so much
EDIT: I read that when you install Lollirom v8 you have to change modem to HPA1 to make WiFi work properly. Is that really needed?
Im not convinced to modify anything other than system. Is it possible to backup my modem easily so I can restore it if something goes wrong?
I will be doing the same as you!! Ive been using Golden Eye for quite some time now, but am ready for something new

You can use a custom kernel to avoid the WiFi issue.
I don't know if there is any way to backup the modem, but changing the modem isn't hard either.
Lollirom will not change your modem, only official stock roms can change your modem.
As a few of you may know me from the xda forums and my contributions every now and then i get an old device i like to mess around on where i either create a great rom or tool or toast the device, now is the galaxy note 3's turn.
I will be throwing together a rom based on the latest officially supported update for the note 3 and will be making the rom as flexible as can be, this includes stabillity mods, optimization mods, mods to make the device alot smoother and fluent and ofcoarse my internal theming kit, bringing almost every manufacturs launcher themes to this device, debloated(seperate bloat installer), but since i dont know much about the device i would like some feature request everyone would like to see on the note 3, development will commence as soon as i get feedback.
