How many times has there been multiple official builds for the same Android version? The JWR build pushed ota to our phones is much more stable than the JSS Roms. However for some reason AOSP supports the JSS build which also means everyone building Roms is also using JSS as a base. Sorry but "occasional" deadlocks and freezes is something isn't stable. Cataclysm is a JWR based ROM that works really well. Just wanted to see what else is out there.
Anyone else mystified why AOSP would support some broken build of 4.3 when a stable build of the same version is available?
Anyway, sorry to rant. I'll be happy when stock and AOSP are on the same page again. Come on 4.3.1!

I have read the thread. I felt the need to rant despite that somewhat informational thread. Aside from that I ask legitimate and pertinent questions. Apparently you cant answer them. Nice bloated sig:good:
there are constantly different builds for aosp, while stock stays the same until an official ota update. aosp is constantly getting stuff added/fixed, since the very beginning, with differing build numbers. the difference being this time there is a big difference(change) in the kernel and graphics.

Hey thanks for the info. But usually stock and AOSP share the same build if I'm not mistaken. I personally can't recall a time when they didn't. Aside from that I can't grasp why AOSP would officially support a build known to be broken. The best developer in the world can't somehow fix a broken source. Also not sure what you mean by aosp being constantly updated and fixed? As a n4 user how could I reap the benefits of all these changes aside from waiting for an OTA update?

as soon as there is new code available, it gets dropped into aosp immediately(usually). lets say the build number is rtt234(made up), aosp can add a rtt234a, rtt234b, rtt234c.. just like it happened for 4.2.2. aosp supports the latest build, they dont go backward. just because something might not work right, i can and will get fixed. but, just so you know, aosp can get updated 10+ times before stock sees 1 update. anyways, the issue that you are talking about, the freeze in the keyboard, affects everyone a bit differently. some people havent had one freeze yet, others get it constantly and are very annoyed. it happens to me one or twice every 2-3 days, so it doesnt bother me at all.

My point is even though AOSP is updated constantly how does the user reap the benefits or update to the latest build if its not official? I'm pretty sure they can't. Pretty sure developers can only build from an official source. So AOSP updating constantly really is a nice idea however if updated builds aren't published why should I care?

JSS is a development branch. The reason why AOSP has multiple branches is because JSS has last minute fixes for The new Nexus 7. Google knew these changes broke other devices but didn't have time to fix them so they just gave other Nexus JWR. Most custom ROMs just supports JSS because it's the latest.

builds are published constantly. look at the development threads. for example, Rasbean jelly, an aosp ROM, gets built that day or the next, after a code drop. that's the beauty of running aosp builds. stock ROM users get updates only after an ota, while anyone can build from aosp whenever they feel like it.

Hey, I'm having some trouble finding a full AOSP 2.3 Gingerbread ROM with zero modifications to styling. I obviously want one that has all the necessary drivers for the hardware, but I don't want "extras". I've seemingly tried them all, and the closest to full AOSP I could find was bcnice's ROM, which he hasn't updated in months. The most up to date, closest to AOSP I've found is the Evervolv 1.0.1b4, but I'm getting tired of flashing the stock font pack every time I try a new update, and I don't like that is has its "own launcher".
Are there any fully functional 2.3 ROMs available that are 100% AOSP, or does everyone add their recommended programs and styling? It feels like I'm getting a carrier update lol.
What you are looking for just doesn't exist yet. Closest thing available are the Roms you already tried or this one below, but many things don't work yet like front cam, gps, etc....

Cool, thanks. Looks like that one's been updated to fix the issues I remember with it before. I'll give it a shot!
Just out of curiosity, why isn't there a 100% AOSP rom? Is it because there is little dev interest? Would it be very difficult to do a straight port? It seems like maybe CM would release a straight port before they started adding their stuff... but I'm a newb and unsure of how the process works really.

I'm using the SalvageMod one mentioned earlier now, and it's VERY stock. The only things that are different that I can see are some custom wallpapers (doesn't really count as not-AOSP) and the semi-transparent notification drop down.
kommydroid is completely stock 2.3 with the only mod being the boot animation.
KommyDroid Looks pretty good... when I get my new Evo from Sprint, I'll try flashing it.
I love the stock ROM so far. Coming from a rooted Sammy 10.1 that had the full tablet UI, but I think with the 7" for factor the stock feels rgt for a change. I still would like to root and get whatever helpful mods on here that I can. An OC kernel with better battery life is always great too. What choices do you guys recommend for what I'm after?
Rooted with stock is working fine for me at the moment. I wanted root just to get otg thumb drive support for more space for my 8 Gig rig. I could not pass up that $200 price tag and still get some 64 gig loving Lol.

Can I use a custom kernel with rooted stock? Will it work as well? Maybe a bad question.
Most ROMs and kernels are so early along that you better be prepared for stability issues.
My recommendation is that you go look around the Android Development forums and the Original Development forums. Everyone has their different preferences and styles in their choices, so nobody here will be able to tell you exactly what to use.

Yeah. I read around and it does seem early bit the kernels look good so far. 1.5 with some undervolting seems stable. But the hybrid Roms aren't what I'm looking for. Maybe a cm10 when its ready.

That statement is very misleading, as there are several ROMS with zero known issues whatsoever, and kernels too. Sure, most of them are unstable, but you only really need one of each to be stable. For example Trinity is totally stable, never an issue with that Kernel. CM10 is stable as far as I have heard, I have not tried it. But I have used AOKP and encountered not the first issue since installing that wasn't cause by apps not liking JellyBean(which would have happened on stock). My advice is, root then backup stock. Then toss on a few ROMS and see how you feel about it. Can always go back. It's the rooting itself that voids your warranty. Once done there is really no reason not to try on a few ROMS. If it's stability you need stick to CM10 and AOKP in my opinion. Most other ROMS are simply based on these with more things added, and that is where your stability problems usually lie anyway.

I've used Trinity Kernel a few times now and have had stability issues, even without overclocking. I think it has something to do with deep sleep, but whatever it is, it's frustrating. I'm gonna wait a few weeks to let the problems get ironed out before using it again. I'm on CM10 at the moment, and for the most part it seems rather stable, but I do have random issues here and there, and I don't know if they're related to the ROM or not. The only reason I'm on it is because I'm a bit flash happy, and just find the nightly updates exciting.
For most users, my recommendation persists, stick with stock and give the development a bit more time. If a user is feeling adventurous, then your advice definitely applies: Get a good backup, and explore with a multitude of ROMs, for everyone has different tastes and preferences.
Well dear all the people talking about stability issues:
Not flaming, just expressing my opinion:
Morfic's trinity kernels are still experimental releases, I wouldn't be expecting stability because they are not classed as 'stable'
I used earlier versions of his kernels and faced no problems at all
So it depends on which kernel/kernel version as to whether or not its stable
I am on AOKP build 1 and using Faux's 008 mainline kernel, it works very well, super stable and super quick
No issues at all here, I guess because I am on two stable and tested releases
I just got my phone couple of days ago, and today had the time to root it. Which is the most popular ROM for this device ?Is it worth to flash a custom ROM ?I mean for someone who needs a stable build ?Can you recommend something ?
Regards!

CyanogenMod is always going to be the most stable custom ROM as long as you use the stable releases, simply because it's the most actively attended to and tested one. MIUI, Paranoid Android and Slim Bean come next and have their own perks, but they're just not on the same level.

not really,
other roms base on the most stable rom in existance, google android, aosp. cm must take this base and make it possible for old, incompatible devices to get their share. thats only possible by extending the living heck out of it. some of it is overlaid, some is not. errors come in naturally, that just happens when you leave the safe path of aosp, hundreds of commits going through gerrit stemming from all kinds of sources. dont get me wrong, cm is an amazing project. but it cant provide the same stability that aosp based roms provide, the same speed and level of customization.
as a developer i can tell you that the software i get from google is flawless, they support me with functioning drivers and blobs, documentation and guidelines. i can literally forget about everything else and go wild, extend and create new stuff that wasnt there before. i will never run into the myriads of problems the cm team is uncovering in their crusade of introducing android to legacy devices - and that in my opinion is their true power.
pps- i see you included MIUI as well. think again. guess which is the worlds biggest rom with millions and millions of users. miui. guess whos the only rom that has on ounce of design credibility. miui. they have done things in their freetime that rival professional products and you can be sure a matias duarte will not go to xda when he's out of ideas, he's taking note when miui drops a release instead. i think you are greatly underestimating them.

dont get me wrong, cm is an amazing project. but the reason it traditionally takes a backseat on nexus plattforms is that it cant provide the same stability that aosp based roms provide. it cant provide the same speed and it cant provide the same level of customization. on all other plattforms cm is the unrivaled king, that is true.

paranoid android, just put all the apps back in phone mode and its basically a stock rom with added speed and a few more customizations. plus i like the kernel colors and the custom app colors, very well done
xylon is also great but not personally my favorite, has many customizations and is much like aokp with its own feel
Codefire-X is also one of the most stable and speedy roms out, it and PA are probably my favorite roms right now, and i feel bad its often overlooked, its like aokp with a more stockish feel but faster and stabler at this point
theres also Carbon rom which is made by a few the awesome liquid rom developers, havent tried yet but looks good
Saber Mod looks cool too with its linaro optimizations but as with carbon i havent had time to try it out
there are also some interesting roms like PAC and Rootbox, but those dont really sound like they would appeal to you as much
also keep in mind i mostly prefer the roms in original android development because of the general cleaner feel, but many of the roms in normal android development are also good if you want a bit of a different feel or special tweaks
but whatever you choose, just dont stay on stock you wont regret going with any of these roms over stock
I'm using MMuzzy rom now for some days and is realy good. Is aosp with some optional features i miss in stock rom. I combine it with Trinity four kernel and for now no problems with that combination.
Never like CM or aokp...to much features and never work without problems.

What are the differences between AOSP and GPe ROMs (that are noticeable). I know that the GPe is based off of the TW framework, but they look very similar otherwise. I'm trying to decide if I want to switch over to the 4.3 AOSP ROM posted a few days ago.
Thanks guys :beer:

I saw this on the Verizon forum for the 4.3 AOSP ROM
@Elvis_Marmaduke -
For those who are still having trouble getting it. GE is made by Samsung and is a Samsung"ROM" if you will. It's like touchwiz without all the bloat and custom menus and features. AOSP is from Google. Not specialized per phone nor do they have the closed Qualcomm drivers so you may not get as high benchmarks and stuff. But most real world performance they will be pretty similar.

@Dubbsy -
I thought I said it elsewhere. But anyway GoogleEdition is not AOSP. And AOSP is not GoogleEdition. I was following Brood's progress on a REAL aosp project. When be posted works in progress and his source I decided to play with it.
This is not meant to replace Google Edition 4.3. I'm still working on my Google Edition 4.3 port. It hasn't been friendly at all. B-d from Sprint has been having the same issues I am. Every time I have a "clearly this is the problem" moment... It's not the problem. At least not the main problem.
Comparing GE's 4.2.2 to 4.3 update and the effects to real AOSP it's like comparing cacti and puppies. Besides that, GE's 4.3 is older than this 4.3. JSS builds I've been reading have wake lock issues but while running it I've gotten nothing but amazing battery life

@Cruiserdude -
This is NOT Google Play Edition, this is actual AOSP. But yes, 4.2.2 GPe is heavily TW based, while 4.3 GPe is AOSP based with some TW on top. Dubbsy will have to fill you in on the specifics.
My guess is that the decision to offer a "stock" experience S4 happened fairly late in the development process, possibly to silence those rumors of a Google/Samsung rift that were going around a few months ago. Samsung would have already had access to early 4.3 code, so they wouldn't have wanted to build a new 4.2.2 rom from the ground up. So they likely just used an engineering build they had, that had all of the lower level TW stuff but without any of the actual features or themeing built in. Which is presumably what they'd use to develop their TW builds, so they can test features individually with the base they need, but not have so many variables as they track down bugs. Either way, they probably already had something like this laying around, that only needed minor tweaking to become the GPe software. That way they didn't waste effort on software that they'd be replacing after only a month or so, anyway.
That way they could focus right in on developing the 4.3 GPe software so it'd be ready for a prompt release. Which would explain why it's much more heavily based on AOSP, though still with enough TW built in for a few things like the Smart Cover to work. Not to mention it'll likely take them awhile to have a solid 4.3 TW base.
Note that all the above is pure speculation on my part, with the exception of the actual distinctions between versions that I mentioned.

I hope that helps!
I'd hold off on the 4.3 aosp until I get all the framework edits done if you need it to be a complete ROM. You'll have data but voice is messed up. telephony isn't setup properly for CDMA handoffs. Didn't notice it until someone pointed it out.
It's one heck of a smooth build though :good: Brood's doing a great job

There are some out. They are just in alpha testing mainly. Although there are some daily driver ready ones out. The delay is likely that I think not all the sources and device trees for updated to the AOSP project as quick and all in one go as nougat. I built a rom a couple of days ago and had some issues but after an AOSP update I was able to build an Oreo ROM fine with no issues.

I just posted this elsewhere lol when a new version of Android drops, custom roms take quite awhile to update.
If you follow specific dev teams, you'll notice they take their time to release after new Android updates. Others, have fewer features or use AOSP, and they'll be quicker to update. Dev teams are testing features, seeing what code is deprecated, what features can be dropped due to low use, etc. A minimum of two to three month wait is normal for some roms to update. If you think they are taking awhile, help them out. Otherwise, enjoy the wait cuz this is a hobby for everyone.

If you follow specific dev teams, you'll notice they take their time to release after new Android updates. Others, have fewer features or use AOSP, and they'll be quicker to update. Dev teams are testing features, seeing what code is deprecated, what features can be dropped due to low use, etc. A minimum of two to three month wait is normal for some roms to update. If you think they are taking awhile, help them out. Otherwise, enjoy the wait cuz this is a hobby for everyone.

thank you both. I guess I'll have to wait more patiently like I've been waiting for xposed
I was particularly looking for something similar to S-AOSP as that won't be continued to Oreo
