I will be compiling AOSP's master branch (almost) nightly. This branch is, at times, very unstable and can have many issues. Most issues cannot be fixed without upstream changes.
I guarantee no stability or the fact that your device will work. It's your choice to use this. Don't blame me for something that goes wrong (even though nothing probably will).
You will need to flash Gapps in order to use the Play Store. You can get Gapps from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Flashing for the first time:
1. Reboot into recovery.
1a. Backup current ROM
2. Wipe data.
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash Gaps
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy

Nice to see another pure aosp out there! Too bad about tweaks though, some tweaks I just can't live without anymore. That aside I'd rather have barebones over bloat
Thanks for this great rom!

I may make another ROM at a later time that is a tweaked master branch, but for now, this is staying pure AOSP. I haven't seen any frequently maintained master branch builds, and I think that the n7 community needs that. It's nice to have an up-to-date build of what Google is working on.
And remember, if there's a super awesome feature you think it oughta have, maybe AOSP will merge your contribution!

Features I was thinking of were mostly addons & some performance some ui tweaks which I don't think an aosp purist would likely agree on:
Cpu/ I/O memory management
Battery bar (miui, not a big break away from stock but not important)
Quick Settings toggles: extra buttons
Nav bar button editing
Kill app on long press of back button
Recent apps clear all & memory display
Battery statusbar options (I've always used %)
Statusbar clock settings (right/centre)
Some of those are purely subjective but things like kill app on long press, QS and navigation button settings should be built into the aosp source IMO. I get your philosophy behind this and I don't mind the missing features but I don't think I can keep pure aosp for very long after being spoiled with so many feature rich roms over the last few years
There are many people who would appreciate this though so I hope it gets the respect it deserves. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider those if I ever work on another ROM. In the meantime, let's keep this thread fully focused on AOSP and this ROM. I really do appreciate the suggestions.
I have to try this. Downloading...
Is this a nightly of Googles stock rom?

Essentially, yes. As I am sure you probably understand, each git repo can have multiple branches and Google creates a branch after each stable release. However, they also have a working branch that they push to frequently (many times per day) with changes called "master" and this is a nightly build of that branch. So, this is like the stock ROM, except it is on their working branch, not their 4.2.2 branch. In the build files, this is referred to as "OpenMaster", and Android version 4.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.
You'll notice some features that aren't in the stock ROM and you'll notice some (but not all) of the features reported to be in the 4.3 ROMs.
This branch tends to be slightly less stable, but it also is very interesting to use. I use it as my daily driver and have for awhile. There are some bugs, but they tend to get squashed within a few days.
If you want to see a changelog, check AOSP review.
I have two more questions:
- How can I get notifications about updates?
- How can I build the Master branch for my Galaxy Nexus?
Oh and btw. good rom! It is really interesting to test those new features and have some bugs.

Sorry, but at this time, you'll need to check the downloads page daily (probably around 10PM GMT-5 I'll have done it if I will) to see if I've posted a new build for the day. Maybe I will later make an app and put it in the Play Store and it will notify you when a new build is posted.

You'll need to sync AOSP and it includes the source for GNex. You'll need to download the proprietary files separately and unzip them. If you have questions, PM me. Also, http://source.android.com/source/building.html may be of some help.

I have respect for the stock aosp. If I could pick only one feature though it would be one in forgot to mention "statusbar brightness slider" I use it so much I forget it's there.
I can live without those though, I'm glad to see openmaster working on the n7 and I'm going to try to live e without the frills! Thank k's for this pure rom,

Check out this handy tool. I'm usually anti widget but this lil tool is amazing for setting a brightness slider anywhere on the screen.
I've used it since way back before the status bar mod was available and I still use it pretty often if the ROM doesn't have it included.
Can be configured I'm about every way possible.

OpenMaster with 4.3 (officially versioned as 4.3.2.1.000.000) is available for download. Grap the latest nightly here.
SuperUser is almost definitely not working; additionally I cannot confirm how well the gapps package works with 4.3.
This release is 4.3 plus what you see merged on AOSP Code Review.
This build was made with the 4.2.2 proprietary binaries. A build with the 4.3 proprietary binaries will be released later today.
Edit: The build available (AOSP-OpenMaster-kalaker-grouper-20130724-fixed_binaries.zip).
IMPORTANT: As of 20130724, the OpenMaster builds are based on Android 4.3. With Google's official release of Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (grouper), a new bootloader, version 4.23, was released. OpenMaster builds after 20130724 have only been tested with the new bootloader. No support will be provided for users of the older bootloaders.

Install Sultanxda's ROM on her phone. It's been (for me) by far the most stable that fixes many OnePlus-specific bugs, such as all the Camera faults (Snapchat flash, double-exposure on flash, better at focus).
Do a clean install with TK GAPPs, depending on how much stuff she wants on it.
Install Google Camera; it's been the least buggy for me, and it just works. CameraNextMod is a bit wonky on this ROM due to its modified OxygenOS camera libs (which are superior to CM's). ColorOS camera is also a bit wonky. The Snapdragon Camera that comes with Sultanxda's ROM is kind of inconvenient to use, but works pretty well if you look past its user-unfriendliness.
Install Android System Webview and disable the AOSP webview.
Install Google Keyboard (or another if she has a preference) over the AOSP one.
Install Google Messenger over AOSP MMS.
Enable Developer options(tap 'Build Number' in About Phone multiple times) and scroll down, set Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale all to 0.75x
Install Nova Launcher and use it over Trebuchet, set Scroll Speed to "Fast" in Look & feel in the settings.
Good to go.

Then dont update it daily, if you dont need to. Its perfectly fine to keep running a nightly if its stable and doesn't have any major bugs. You can always set it to check for updates monthly or not at all. If you're running it also you can be the tester and only update when you have found it to be running ok.
I've not had a single error or issue with 100% stock CM12S so I'd suggest you just leave it as it is

Has anyone tried and used mokee rom?
Any feedback is welcomed.
I did, it's pretty much a LineageOS (build by the same dev). Main differences would be daily OTA's, different stock launcher (Lawnchair i guess) and it has an extra greenify like app which controls apps.

I am a happy camper with AOSiP Oreo for months already, it is stable, clean and efficient with just essential features. It comes from a great dev, and is purely AOSP based, I've always preferred thar rather than CM/LOS based ones, it has always been smoother and more efficient (battery life) on my devices. Though the LOS based ones are polished and perfected by now and I don't want to take anything away from them, they are good as well, I've used RR for a short period of time.
As for the kernel, if you just want something stable and well balanced, just use the Derp (already included in AOSiP) or flash InsigniuX.

No, no custom kernel LOS 15.1 OFFICIAL has really good kernel optimization for battery life. And you have WEEKLY OTA updates(every Wednesday).
For AOSP sorry for me too buggy. Too many bugs and not stable.
But if you want custom kernel use Derp 3.3 for battery life (not 3.4 - less optimization)

As for other AOSP Oreo based roms, the closest to AOSiP in terms of stability is MSM-Xtended, I've seen a lot of positive feedback.
The battery life for me is great with this combo, my average is around 2 full days on single charge and 10+ hours of SOT with around 20% left (spending too much time on the phone, I know). I have couple of notorious battery draining apps installed like FB, Messenger, Instagram along with WA, Viber, Telegram, almost all of them used on daily basis.
On all xiomi devices i use Forever MIUI ! In the other devices x526 leeco and Nubia m2 inisd custom rom aosp or lineage
Inviato dal mio Redmi Note 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
BEST CUSTOM ROM(S)
HMMM leme catch my breath
i will rate top 5 here! based on some extra bit of setting which touched my heart! otherwise these 5 roms are best and compliments each other fairly, ( OREO 8.1 ONLY)
5. AOSIP - Project Allusion
Pros
a. navbar adjustments (make navbar smaller )
b. music player included
c. equiliser as separate app in doc
d. amazing battery life
e. kcal embedded in kernel
cons
a. poor whatsapp call quality
b. sims cannot be disabled!
4. MOKEE
A stable rom with better resolution, soothing to eyes , related closely to your needs and make you feel stockrom!
PROs
a. active Development! almost daily updates
b. display settings has kcal featured enabled! extra picture adjustments already
c. screen resolution /tint and cleartype with icon sizes is better than rest of the custom ROMS
d. AMAZING whatsapp in call volume ( after editing mixer path file, it becomes even better!!!)
e. music player and equiliser as saperate apps in app drawer
f. subtrainium is part of rom
CONS
a. no navbar adjustments (resize/hight) *( i installed xposed and Dimensions editor to resize navbar
b. speaker volume DIES, whatsapp audio notes playback sound goes very low, when Xposed in installed
c. quick settings has limited toggles!
d. IMO doesn't work! the other party can hear you! but you cannot hear them
e. double tap to sleep goes to device admin permissions so its not directly set in kernel. which make screen off delays (sometimes)
f. time to time ads appear!
3. Resurrection Remix 6.2
A very popular rom and almost all the popular tweaks included to make it one of the best roms available even for whyred
Pros
a. navbar adjustments (make navbar smaller )
b. sims can be disabled

e. very popular rom and almost everything is included possibly
f. kcal embeded in kernel
g. fonts
CONS
a. battery drain is higher
b. whatsapp in call volume is not very impressive
c. network speed felt slow (atleast to me) , 3g works very well!
d. some times feel lags and ram cleaner shows almost 6gb is full, unless you clear ram. so i believe ram management in RR is not optimum
2. CRDROID 4.7
Seems like Sister Rom to MOKEE with extra features taken from RR, Crdroid comes with no ads and better bootspeed
what I like extra about it ...
a. navbar can be shortend down
b. either sim can be disabled

b. network download speed on 4g is not very good!
1. MSM EXTENDED X10 2882018
between Crdroid and Mokee, and some times RR,,, i have never able to decide which rom should i keep! I always keep flashing every other week! but one ROM which i think as per me, leads everyone for some of the Extra touches it provides and touched my heart is definately MSM Extended build 28 08 2018
pros
a. navbar can be shortend down
b. either sim can be disabled
c. music player included
d. equiliser as saperate app in dock
e. quick settings row/columns can be adjusted, resized and

LOS / AOSCP / Omnirom does not come with dirty unicorn customizations where they do carry flaws like rest of the roms
1. random reboots when closing call / whatsapp/regular
2. audio notes on whatsapp switch off screen for a second and then coming back
3. even after modding mixerpath file, the voip calls volume is just not enough
So far, I have installed over 9 custom roms, and none of them has Dark Mode for Messages & Phone apps. (except OOS port)
devs have been focusing on dark theme all across the device, yet not a single rom has dark messages & phone app.
And no, downloading Phone & messages from google play isn't a solution.
Is it actually difficult to implement?

Of the 9 custom ROMs you have tried, did you try flashing Pixel Experience? The stock Messages app can be set to Dark Mode. The Phone app automatically becomes dark when you set dark mode on PE.
I think it's also implemented in other custom ROMs, and MIUI has it in their beta.
A simple use of your Google-fu will lead you to Substratum, which themes ROMs
Also, devs have their own timetables that we should respect. If the frameworks they work with don't allow it, then you should probably politely ask and wait for them. Before asking them if it is difficult, ask yourself if you have Google-d enough or used the search bar at XDA more.
Please check your custom ROMs CAREFULLY. Or maybe try Pixel Experience.
Hope that helps.
Did you even flash GApps?

Yes I have. Great effort by the devs but definitely the worst experience a user will have if they want any type of customization.
I came to the Poco from Pixel 2 xl and I had the pixel for only month and sold it because of its terrible UI. why? because what kind of software makers take a step back when improving a software? for as far as i remember, the recents clear button has always been .25 second away from clicking the recents button. But Pixel UI went out of their way to make the clear button at the end of the list and you have to swipe through all your recent apps to hit that button! OOS and MIUI kept the button on the same place where it was in Oreo, except Pixel!

I know about substratum but why would a user who installs a custom rom need a third-party app to theme stock messaging and phone apps when they should be dark by default when enabling dark mode all cross the device?

Also, devs have their own timetables that we should respect. If the frameworks they work with don't allow it, then you should probably politely ask and wait for them. Before asking them if it is difficult, ask yourself if you have Google-d enough or used the search bar at XDA more.

I do respect their timetables. And I have no idea whether the framework allows, hence why I started this thread to have input from different people.
Why do you sound annoyed by me asking if it's difficult? you know a developer can come to this thread and literally say yes its difficult and that would be enough to know why the idea is not being implemented.
And trust me, I googled enough and used the search bar.

Please check your custom ROMs CAREFULLY. Or maybe try Pixel Experience.
Hope that helps.

I have checked my ROM's CAREFULLY, just like I have been doing since 2011.

In the context of the Poco F1 (or any other phone that is not the Pixel 1/2/3/3a and XLs for that matter), Pixel Experience is a custom ROM for these reasons:
Pixel Experience is not a GSI image that we just put in Pocophone. It also has its code based off Lineage with Pixel sources too (and with CAF, Qualcomm-specific code).
Try flashing MIUI stock straight on top of PE. You'll see lots of errors, simply because the frameworks are different. Stock ROM for Poco is MIUI. You can try checking the Poco out of the box.
Expounding on the topic, xiaomi.eu is considered a custom ROM because it has system level changes for the removal of ads and Chinese localization (apart from the fact that it is deodexed). If xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM in itself, then by what claim can we say that PE is non-custom?
Please have a look at this changelog for the CAF version of PE (I think AOSP has it too) : https://github.com/PixelExperience/..._caf_beryllium-9.0-20190505-2106-OFFICIAL.txt
Of course, you might have a different view of what "seems custom", but the vast difference of the PE ROM from the MIUI ROM speaks for itself that it is indeed custom (BTW, there's a high chance that ROMs that require you to flash them through TWRP is custom).
My apologies for a rather harsh attitude earlier. I'm here to inform and respectfully agree or disagree with what I know. Have a good day.

Yes I have. Great effort by the devs but definitely the worst experience a user will have if they want any type of customization.
I came to the Poco from Pixel 2 xl and I had the pixel for only month and sold it because of its terrible UI. why? because what kind of software makers take a step back when improving a software? for as far as i remember, the recents clear button has always been .25 second away from clicking the recents button. But Pixel UI went out of their way to make the clear button at the end of the list and you have to swipe through all your recent apps to hit that button! OOS and MIUI kept the button on the same place where it was in Oreo, except Pixel!
Same can happen in other custom roms if I download the messaging and phone apps from google play
My question was the stock messaging and phone app on the custom roms

Legit concerns. I personally like how Huawei implemented EMUI and OOS on Oneplus. However, I did answer the mere question of the existence of a dark mode, as the Messages and Phone apps on PE is bundled as its default.
I will concede that Android Messaging apps are a mess, whether through their inconsistencies and their UI. But we can only hope for better things.

No hard feelings. I came to learn.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

No worries. XDA is a great place to learn, and I am also learning. I enjoyed this discussion. Feel free to ask anytime, I'll try to be more kind if I can be of help in informing. :good:
use substratum
I don't really care about miui theme or stock aosp themes since always on custom rom with subs since they can't themes third party apps
now i'm happy with aosip+ pitch black substratum for everuthing
IIABODEII said:
So far, I have installed over 9 custom roms, and none of them has Dark Mode for Messages & Phone apps. (except OOS port)
devs have been focusing on dark theme all across the device, yet not a single rom has dark messages & phone app.
And no, downloading Phone & messages from google play isn't a solution.
Is it actually difficult to implement?

The aim of LOS is near stock android. The stock android is just AOSP, if you use aosp, google can't make money from it as it's open source. If you use their Google services they can make money. If stock android's Messaging app and Phone app has the good features (dark theme, call screening etc) like Google's Messaging app or phone app, every one will prefer that and google might face a loss. As los is based on aosp (for some extent) you can't have dark mode there. Each and every custom ROM is based on LOS, so no you can't have dark mode. You can either use PE which has Google's messenging and calling app or use substratum theme engine.
I'm not 100% sure. If I made a mistake please correct it. Thanks ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
Have you tried to use Google Phone and Messages apps? I'm using them on lineageos and they has dark mode
Just use these apps.
if you're already flashing gapps, why dont just enable Google's Phone and Message app since they have dark mode and just a lot better than any of the custom rom's counterpart? And their dark mode is not tied to the ROM, ever.

Why do you want to use AOSP apps instead of Google apps?
