There are two different build numbers. One is used by stock Nexus 5 ROM while the other is used by PureNexus custom ROM.
What are the differences between the two?
AOSP Branch the dev has used to build the rom.
AFAIK there's not a specific changelog between these builds but you can find others there.

Hi team,
Quick question from a newbie.
What's the difference between the fw preinstalled on my opo and cm11s m11.
When cm12s will be released, both fw will receive ota at the same time?
Thanks
Ebt
Cm11/cm12 is faster with updates there is already cm12
Cm11s is the same but has different lock screen and thats acualy the only thing i see is different and the only thing I like..
Cm12s will come like next year begin January.
They're both very similar but the way that the updates work for CM11 and CM11S (XNPH44S) are different.
CM11S contains some closed-source applications such as the lock screen, AudioFX (supposed to be open sourced but not yet), WhisperPush, and some other applications
CM11.... is possible to flash a zip (you'll have to find it) and make it be like CM11S since all the applications are in that zip.
Personally, I would just forget about CM11 and CM11S and flash CM12 and get in the Lollipop business as thats where all the interest is in right now.
Both, thanks for your reply.
Very useful to understand difference between CM11s/CM11.
But definitely, I'll go for CM12
Cm11s is the opo specific ROM for our phones. It has features or fixes for opo specifically. It's the "stable" version good for public release.
Cm11 is either snapshots deemed stable (example m10, m11, etc) but there's also cm11 nightlies that are not deemed stable they are built every night with usually new additions that could make things better or worse until tested
Cm11 based ROM are all KitKat ROM
Cm12 projects are all Lollipop based ROM. As you can see there's no snapshots such as cm12 m1 etc so there's no version deemed stable. In fact CyanogenMod hasn't even released one officially, everything you see here is unofficial and built by users.
Cm12 ROM are all in alpha stages but CyanogenMod is working on it at this point
Hi guys, i've searched an answer to this but nothing so here I am.
What are the main differences from CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightlies and CyanogenOS 12.1?
The OS is build especially for the One plus One and so?? The battery drain is different? The desing??
Do you recommend one or another?
And for finish this, why I would install a rom on my smartphone built on Cyanogen? Why I would change the kernel?
Thanks
They're from the same tree but are different branches. CM12.1 is the nightly branch, more up to date, but can be susceptible to bugs. COS12.1 is considered to be the stable branch, less up to date. There is plenty of information online on why one would use a custom kernel, just search for it.
Hello guys, i've been searching this for sometime, but still can't find the answer. I'm quite new to Nexus 5, and i didn't know the history about how CAF branch was made beside aosp branch in hammerhead. The only think i know is, CAF commits was once merged by cm to aosp, but introduce many bugs. So it was divided into two branch like now. I like CAF build (the reality, i like experimental builds ) but i only found cm based roms for CAF build
TL;DR is it possible to build AOSP roms based on CAF branch ?
Thanks !
In these day, some roms like cm or aicp based on android 6.0 or 7.0-7.1 don't work. in fact this two roms don't boot. which "working" rom do you prefer?
p.s.: why these don't work?
Can anyone here suggest me the best 7.x rom and best kernel for daily use. Is there any way to have VoLTE in this device???

I can tell you the three most popular Quark Nougat ROMs and you can decide if they are popular because they are the best or not. If you want Nougat, any of these three ROMS seem to be the most popular and have very high reviews. You can go to those threads and ask questions. All three are compatible with XT1225 Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo, XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx, and XT1254 Droid Turbo.

We have seven current Nougat ROMs with dev support which are compatible with all the Quark phone series (XT1254, XT1250, XT1225). Those ROMs are spread across two different XDA forums but all compatible with ALL the Quarks.
However, maybe a newer ROM (like Viper, our newest Quark Nougat ROM) is "better", but people are just more comfortagble using their older ROM (RR 7.x, AOKP, unofficial CM14)? Or maybe people stick to those because they are tried and true? That's for you to decide.
As for kernel, ALL the Quark custom ROMs (not based on stock firmware) come with the same default "stock" kernel coded by @bhb27, from the CM/LOS tree. It was started by our previous CM dev @Skrilax_CZ, to go with our "official" CM ROMs. @bhb27 then started releasing an "advanced" version of that kernel, with additional tweaks, governors, TCP algorithmic options, etc.
When @Skrilax_CZ stopped developing for our device, @bhb27 also took on the duties of developing the "stock" CM/LOS kernel, so it would be compatible with Nougat and in the near future even Oreo ROMs. It's the "baseline" kernel" included in every custom ROM (not based on stock firmware). He still actively develops his standalone advanced kernel, which works with any of the custom ROMs and can even be installed on stock firmware.
So, here's my suggestion.
FIRST, install a ROM or two. We have multi-ROM tool for Quark (also developed by @bhb27) so you can easily switch back and forth.
THEN, after you choose a ROM for daily use, at that point you can decide whether to keep the "stock" kernel (coded by @bhb27) which comes with every Quark ROM or use his advanced kernel you have to install manually. The advanced kernel has many more tweaks possible, but it can be confusing if you are also trying to differentiate between ROM features/settings at the same time. Maybe it was a kernel tweak you did that messed something up and it's not the ROM or vice versa... Stick with the ROM of your choice for a few days before deciding between stock kernel or advanced kernel.
