[Q] Are Cyanogen devices tree compatible with AOSP ?

Hi all,
I've a question for you guys.
I've a SG3 (i9300), I'd like to know if using the cyanogen device tree for my device (located here) is possible to build AOSP source code.
if yes, then it looks like that would be possible to compile Lollipop AOSP for my device.. am I right ?
Thank you very much.

Cyanogen IS AOSP... Lol. Its AOSP with added features. If that's not an Android 5.0 lollipop kernel source, then it won't boot out of the box. Your best bet would be to get some Android 4.4 kernel source and do ramdisk edits and what not needed to get an Android 5.0 ROM booting. Alternatively, if your device is CM supported, I know they were talking about releasing CM12 soon, you could just hold out to see if your device is supported. Outside of CM, many custom ROMs (AOKP, Pacman, etc.) Take it upon themselves to release ROMs as well. Example: PACman had a 4.4 custom ROM out and in circulation, even before cyanogenmod, so u never know!

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I'd like to know this only for learning purpose, I'm not going to compile the AOSP
What I don't understand, is why adding the device tree to the lollipop AOSP is not sufficient to boot out of the box, can you please explain this in details ? Many thanks.

OPPO R7 Plus MIUI 7 ROM

Dear All,
I would like to know when we will get MIUI 7 Custom ROM based on 5.1.1, as we have already 2 "Official Custom ROMs":
1- Cyanogen 12.1 ROM.
2- PA ROM.
I hope from the developers to contribute to build this nice MIUI 7 ROM based on 5.1.1 .
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Mulham Darwish

Dear Nexus5,
I have already asked them, but it seems no respond from them.
PA = Paranoid Android, and here is the link for R7 Plus:
http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42195&extra=
They said that it's running smoothly without any issue, so can you test it
Thanks.

thx, tested the PA rom today, and it is in early stage of development, no features yet. Cant even change the buttons yet. But it is great there is another alternative to original ColorOS rom

Stable LG G3 android 6.0 Rom?

What is a good stable android 6.0 rom based. I tried RR but there is often freezes and crashes thats pretty annoying. x.x. Plus I like exploring.

Help. ;~:

Fulmics ROM stock based.

For stock based I would say BlackSoulxx stockmod and Fulmics. For aosp I have no idea.

You can try Fulmics 4.2

OctOS is by far the best AOSP ROM for our device.

Yes Fulmics is the best ROM for G 3 but don't try flashing a custom kernel at the moment they are crape and don't let you boot the device.

I did a search for OctOS, and all I could find was a 5.1.1 AOSP based ROM. Is there an Android 6.0 OctOS ROM available? Since that was the query of the thread. I have tried Resurrection Remix, OrionOS, and TurboROM. I am currently running TurboROM. Each of these have had their issues.
Could you provide a link to OctOS 6.0? I would love to give it a try.

Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely take a look.
'Preciate ya!
UPDATE:
I have been running OCT-M-R1 for a day now. None of the other custom AOSP ROM issues. Right now I am inclined to agree with you. Best AOSP 6.0.1 I have tried yet.

[Updated] The Best Nougat Based Custom ROM for MI 4i.

Dear MI 4i users,
We have got a lot of Nougat ROMs for our device recently and most of them are being actively developed.
You may have tried some of them, or may be wanting to try one now. But, with so many available ROMs, you'll be easily confused as to which is the best one yet for your daily use. So, here is little help for you to sort it out.
Note: If you have already tried the ROMs, please vote for your favourite one and help others to decide. You can also share your thoughts on the ROMs you've tried so far in this thread
List of best Nougat based ROMs for MI 4i
[*]AICP 12.1
AICP aka Android Ice Cold Project is highly customisable ROM with lot of features and best community. It also has highly active development with nightly builds, just like CM(used to be )
[*]AOSPExtended
AOSP Extended is an AOSP based rom which provides stock UI/UX with various customisations features along with the Substratum theme engine. The project has been made by cherry-picking various commits from various other projects. Being based on AOSP it provides a smooth and lag-free experience out of the box. We will constantly try to add more features and make it even better in future updates. A ROM by a user, for a user. #StayAOSP #ExtendYourDevice
[*]crDroid 7.1
[*]CyanogenMod 14.1
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.0 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.
[*]PixelROM
PixelROM is a custom firmware aka ROM for various Android devices. It is built from CyanogenMod 14.1 with additional features, performance and battery life improvements.
The idea behind PixelROM is to give users a ROM that is "blazing fast and buttery smooth".
[*]Resurrection Remix
Resurrection Remix the ROM has been based on CM, Slim Omni and original Remix ROM builds, this creates an awesome combination of performance, customization, power and the most new features, brought directly to your device
[*]Slim7
SlimRoms is a custom android operating system. Our main goal is to offer users a slimmed down yet feature rich alternative to other android operating systems.
The entire SlimTeam work together to bring you this tailor-made beauty straight from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.
[*]XOSP 7
Common features:
All ROMs are either LineageOS or AOSP based. So, at minimum, you can definitely see the feature set of LineageOS(or CyanogenMod formely) in all ROMs.
AOSP based ROMS like Slim7, AICP may additionally have their own custom features which are very useful and allow a high-degree of customisation.
Effectively, all the ROMs add their own flavour to the sweeetness of Nougat to make your device a pleasure in hand. :fingers-crossed:
Important : Go through respective ROM thread list of bugs and respective solutions, if any.
•=============================== A VERY USEFUL TIP ===============================•​ If you're flashing a new Nougat ROM on top of existing Nougat ROM, then there is no need to back-up everything everytime. Just wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART in TWRP and then flash the new ROM.
First boot will take 4~6 minutes irrespective of ROM and it's normal.
This works because all of the ROMs above have same base (7.1.1). I've personally tested this trick and it worked for CM14.1 <-> AICP12.1 <-> PixelROM.
It should work for other ROMs too. I'll let you know when I try or you can try and share the result.
A big advantage of this trick is that all the apps will be preserved and even the customisation you had done will be restored when you revert back to previous ROM. But note that this may break some Gapps because all ROMs don't support same package.
Finally, be warned: this method works only for switching between Nougat ROMs given above. Don't try this if you're on a different ROM.
​

that trick will works fine now
but when CM theme engine comes up
you can't dirty flash a CM theme engine rom with OMS rom :/

1. Of course. I'll warn when that happens. But, are you suggesting that LineageOS team is working on their own gene engine? Because, that would be great considering the simplicity of CMTE.
2. I have already added it to the list.

Can someone recommend me rom + kernel combo for the fastest expirience?
I am currently using cr droid and I find it perfect for my needs, but will a kernel help with the performance and make the phone faster? If yes what kernel do you recommend?

Substratum is not working properly on lineage

add aosip and aospext they are better

Aicp vs pixel rom...what do you think its better?

hey what about viper rom . plss develop one for mi4i also

Anyone tried slimrom.?? Is it stable???

AospExtended ?
crDroid is good, AICP 12.1 also works great.
BTW you should add AospExtended to your list.
In my opinion it is cleaner and smoother compared to other Android N roms.

AospExtended ROM

Hiddenmenu.apk for AOSP/Lineage roms

Is it possible to make one the works with aosp or lineageos in general? It would be nice not having to flash stock if you wanted to activate a phone running a custom ROM or other stuff

Bump ;-;
