[Q] CM10.2: galaxyfreak or sakindia123

What's the difference in galaxyfreak's Cyanogenmod 10.2 Weekly build 9 and sakindia123's Cyanogenmod 10.2 Beta#2?
Which ROM is more stable, better and has more features?

Instead of asking why don't you try and see every user has there own need of using the rom and its features..

I meant if the sakindia's version has the HALO 2 feature, the s2e...
And do they have any bugs?

Both the roms are stable and dont have any serious kind of bugs.
Havnt used sakindia's rom that much but have used galaxyfreaks rom the rom is stable and smooth.

I use sakindia's rom with pure performance script and it is smooth.

Generally sakindia ports CM without adding eye candy to it (no halo, no s2w, etc).
Galaxyfreak and 7alvi adds all those features

As mentioned previously, if you'd like to know the difference between ROMs or whether a certain ROM is more stable/has more features than another ROM, simply test them out and find put for yourself.
Yes, it will take you longer to find out but it's better to test things for yourself because you might prefer the features/usability of one ROM while other people may suggest a totally different ROM based on their own usage.

There are a lot of them. Look in both Development sections for 5.0 in the title. Vanir is probably the most stable and bug free right now > http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/official-vaniraosp-t2890749

Vanir is AOSP based?

CyanogenMod is AOSP. Vanir (AOSP) is indistinguishable from vanilla AOSP.

Its different they get the sources and do cm stuff to them,generally you will get kernels that are for AOSP or CM based ROMS as a result

I'm currently running Vanir ROM. It is indistinguishable from vanilla AOSP (on my Moto X). And for most users, the current iterations of CM12 are so lightly customized that they are, for all intents and purposes unadulterated AOSP too.
I suppose if one wants to split hairs, one could make the argument that these aren't pure AOSP. Then one would have to head over to the OnePlus forum and flash the new , very buggy 5.0 ROM (Not!).

Best to stay away from the opo forums for the serious stuff, the point I was making was just that you have either AOSP or CM and then everything comes from there really,
You need to be aware as you can have serious problems if you flash the wrong type of kernel, I came from a nexus so for me there was quite an important difference and had to watch what version you flashed,amazed actually at how slow development has been with lollipop, as you say a lot of work needed to find one with some customisations,will stick to kikkat till an offiical lollipop S version appears for the bacon

Best lolipop rom
TO me http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...m-bliss-stalk-team-bliss-bacon-10-28-t2921057
this is the best lolipop rom for onepluso ne buddy

[Q] SlimRom question

Hi there people,
I'm thinking of trying SlimRom and I was just wondering many roms say "AOSP" and actually are CM based(which is AOSP afaik), is the SlimRom cm based or AOSP in it's pure form?
I'd like to try some AOSP roms(not based on CM)
P.S. If you know other roms with reduced size feel free to share

SlimRom kernel is CM based. But it has to look and feel of AOSP. The only OPO ROM that I'm aware of that does not use a CM based kernel is Omni.

Rom talking, almost all AOSP roms use CM code... which doesn't mean they are entirely CM based. Afaik, Slim and AOSPA (and other projects) take many things from CM source but they keep their own line of developement, and in some aspects they diverge a lot. But in all cases, they use (as you stated) CM kernel base. Omni is the only one that's truly independent from cyanogen (rom & kernel), I think. Plus, you now got our manufacturer working on a pure AOSP rom, but I'm unsure if cyanogen did that or Oppo.

You're gonna have to be patient then. Or just try Slim, it may use the CM kernel but you're not going to notice that at all because kernel operations take place on a lower level behind the scenes.

I'll try SlimLP but when it's ready, right now I see only unofficial nightlies..
When I had DHD I was willing to try every possible combo in order to get just a little bit better performance but since now this isn't the issue I prefer something stable, even 44S I'm on isn't stable enough for me.

You are referring about AOSP by OnePlus ..man still at alpha stage WAY too buggy for my taste, maybe when it's stable I'll try it.
Although here on xda some created patches and bugfixes but still I'm looking for rock-solid stability, I have speed(compared to my old and previous DHD) so I'm not seeking on testing 10 roms per week as I did in the past

Too bad vanilla android isn't around for every phone(nexus style roms), just bare bone android with proper drivers in it - that would be fast ...and slim
P.S. I'll try slimlp when it's out I guess(officially), thank you guys for all ur answers - Fact, it might take a while..I expect 1+1 to deliver rom sometime in late feb(or early feb with bugs ..depends) after that in March or May I should expect SlimLP ..don't take my word I'm wild guessing

I thought Robbie's was official, guess I was wrong. Like I said though, it really doesn't make a lick of difference, it's still built from Slim source, the One and only difference is that it's missing the official tag in the title, that's it. People all too often mistake that tag to actually mean something, it doesn't.

1+1 has already many bugs in it's latest 44S I really don't want anymore even if it's a glitched icon, a minor issue or something that most people don't care about. I see "official" as a "we've test it more than just flash it and leave it for a couple of days"
I mean you know 1+1 has issue when 3rd party camera app is installed and you try to use flash on low light enviroment right? it's probably a driver issue although FV-5 app fix this(workaround), stock camera doesn't have that bug. So in SlimLP if I use the camera does this occur in a 3rd party camera app? ..this should be solved when CM12s hits the market, dunno if it's fixed in the not so official SlimLP
I guess I better back up and try it.. what I have to lose except some time? (I did flash with my previous DHD even 5-6 times per day)

Official definitely doesn't mean that. Take CM for example, it's done by a buildbot, no testing at all, and that's completely official. I'd take Robbie's builds over an official release any day of the week. That's what I'm saying, the perception that official is better is completely false.

CM is the worst example as even cm official builds are buggy sometimes(no proper testing and I'm talking about stable released not nightlies, the guy who build the cm camera app in the past had a long post mention it - nice guy)

[Q] Why Cyanogen?

Anyone running cyanogenmod as a primary ROM on a Nexus 5--
Why did CyanogenMOD fork?
What features do you enjoy using on this ROM?
What are the advantages of using this ROM over stock or modified AOSP?

I don't ?

You may want to check Wikipedia. It's been a custom ROM for almost as long as Android has been around.
The short of it is they're tinkerers just like any other custom ROM. You get a lot of features not found on the stock ROM and bug fixes literally nightly- if they are merged in from AOSP, other 3rd party forks, and enthusiasts- and they're immediately available in the next nightly update. I really don't know how to answer your question because there's technical advantages, feature advantages... If you want to root make a backup of your ROM and try a few. You'll figure things out quickly.

[Discussion] VanirAOSP 6.0.1 Samsung Galaxy S4 [JFLTE]

Hello everyone,
I have been on a search for a regularily updated ROM based on AOSP. Since Marshmallow, I found most ROMs for the S4 have been based on CM.
By accident, I stumbled upon VanirAOSP.
I wanted to start a discussion about the latest nigtlies for VanirAOSP as there is no discussion in relation to the S4. I found this thread but it is very much out dated:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485089
Let me know what you think!
For me it is very stable, there are regular updates and I have found no bugs so far. I would like to know if it truely is AOSP based as I get a slight CM feel off it as opposed to the AOSP based ROM, Dirty Unicorns.
Try it for yourself and see!

There already are several AOSP based roms. VRToxin is AOSP based. And there is an actual AOSP rom made by the JDCTeam.

Hello,
Yeah VRToxin looks cool but it is based on many different ROMs as far as I know. Kind of like Resurrection Remix or PAC ROM. But these ROMs still lean heavily on CM, and I'm looking for a ROM like Omni ROM or Dirty Unicorns that draws completely from AOSP and adds it's own touches from there. Little to no CM.
I know about JDC Team's work and it's fantastic, but it's not really what I'm looking for as it doesn't update that often and it lacks cool features like the ones you would find in Omni ROM or DU.
Basically, I'm a contrary B*****d But Vanir says it's AOSP based, it's got some cool features, it updates regularly and it's working on my S4 so I'm going to see how things!

Taken from the VRToxin thread:

I'd take JDC's performance over features. I can add the features I want to the JDC roms using Xposed, but I cannot add the performance I want to other roms, because the custom kernel in the JDC team roms isn't publicly available.
I didn't know Vanir is still being built for the S4. I saw the old rom threads not being updated anymore so I thought they dropped support.
What kernel are they using? I read that they have their own NUCLEARREACTOR kernel. Are they using for the S4 too or is it just a stock kernel?
Update: So I took VanirAOSP for a ride. The rom seems nice, it has CM influences. But that's not why I tried it. I wanted to see how it fares performance wise. And, in my opinion, JDC's AOSP is better when it comes to performance. Even on the Extreme Battery Profile, the JDC rom seems equal or slightly faster than Vanir on default settings. I didn't do any benchmarks, this is just user experience.
Other than that it seems like a solid rom. But it's not for me. Maybe if there was a way to flash alucard kernel on it.

I will give it a try though! My primary phone is an S5 so I use my S4 to test out new ROMs before committing to them.
You make a good point about performance over features. I just remember installing JDCTeam's AOSP ROM before and of course the next morning at work I Really needed a torch and had no internet to install an app! Things like a torch I took for granted in a ROM. I guess you would just need to put in more time setting it up than you would say CM, which contains many features out of the box.
Yes I set up this discussion to make people aware that the ROM is very much alive and kicking! It seems to be using a custom kernel. The picture below is from the S5 but it's the same story with the S4.

@Steve Geemaggio, you can open the camera app, set it to video and turn on the flash. It's not perfect, but it does the job in an emergency.
Also, the kernel is not really a custom one. It's more of a modified stock cm kernel from what I saw while having the rom on my device. I used Kernel Adiutor to see what I could configure, but there wasn't much to configure. CPU/GPU frequency and governors, some read-ahead cache and I-O schedulers and that's about it.
For normal everyday usage it's ok, but if you're a tweaker/poweruser there isn't much to do.

That's exactly what I did my friend
That's a pity about the kernel. It does seem good enough for everyday usage, but I'm starting to feel it could do better. The lack of a music player and file manager day one seemed strange to me and I find the default browser is a small bit buggy. Perhaps it's just early days for this build.
Hopefully they will make it more power user friendly as builds continue to come out.
For now I think I may try VRToxin. It looks very impressive!

Hello again,
I tried out VRToxin 4.0 on my S5.
My first impression, was that it looks awesome. Feature-wise, there is nothing you can't do! It is by far the most feature-rich and most unique looking ROM I have ever used.
Unfortunately I also find that it is very buggy at the moment. In the 19/03/16 release, The default calendar and clock crash as soon as you try to open them. Some features, such as 'Automatic Mode' in 'Themes' can't be used as they cause the system UI to crash every so often. I also noted that the kernel is set to 'Permissive' by default.
I like this ROM and I want to use it, but with bugs like these, I would rather the ROM was updated more often.
Thank you for the suggestion anyway and I'm glad you found Vanir to be okay.

I run this rom. Have for awhile.i believe they have a Google plus page and don't post much on xda anymore
