[Q] What is a clean rom??? - GT540 Optimus General

Sorry i am a noob.
And i just wanted to know what is a clean rom
and what are the benefits.
Also what is cyanogenmod.
Thank you!!

Is a clean rom like no benfits or something???

Stock?
Well you could say 'a clean ROM' is an unedited version of an operating system provided by a manufacturer/company (so, it's the ROM that you get when you buy a phone). CyanogenMod is an 'aftermarket firmware'. So it's a ROM that needs to be flashed (installed) after purchasing a device. By 'ROM', meaning the actual operating system. Clean ROMs can also mean the original operating system from sources or other phones, flashed to another device (such as the LG GT540).
A clean ROM doesn't always mean no benefits. It is minimalistic in some aspects and not filled with mods/apps. They could also be sometime more stable (e.g. no crashes).

Is AOSP considered a "clean rom"? Sorry for the noob question.

yes something like that. for our phone, cyanogenmod is ported from other phones as our phone is not supported. but aosp rom is not ported but taken from google so it makes it "clean"

In my opinion, yes..
AOSP means Android Open Source Project .

Sources?
Isn't Swiftdroid from CyanogenMod's MDPI sources?

No, its from source.

I always thought a clean rom was the roms lg officially releases as there built specifically for the phones hardware etc
and i thought cyanogenmod aosp etc where dirty so to speak because they use googles open source or ports etc meaning that theres some amount of hacking porting involved in some aspect or use of drivers that do the job but are not meant for the hardware so say if we get 2.6.35 kernel working someone could release an aosp from source but it wouldnt be classed as clean because of ported hacked kernel ?

Okay. I think i get it now. Still having a hard time getting used to all these terms. So if AOSP is considered "clean" then is there a difference in performance with Cyanogen?
Btw i also read here somewhere that a few devs are trying to port the . 35 kernel. Is that still active?

Also another question what is a fastboot rom??
Are there other types of roms as well??
For e.g. i don't really know any!!!
THANKS!!!!

Fastboot
A fastboot ROM is a ROM containing fastboot. So you can flash ROMs using fastboot. Hold the camera button when you see the LG logo while turning on the device. If you see a dark blank screen, that means you have fastboot. You need drivers and the fastboot files to flash ROMs, so be careful.

"a pure google experience"
Clean roms known as a ASOP are built of from scratch. This means no cyanogenMod or such tweak modifications has been added or applied during process.

erm MIUI is developed by chinese developers and we cannot make our own as they dint release their sources.
MIUI is designed for armv7 devices and yours is armv6 so even if they do release their sources it would be very very hard

Actually no it wouldn't, because if they released their sources, we can modify it to work with armv6 by using v6 source, whereas it isn't that simple modifying already compiled binaries.
Yes, but, it will be great if we create ROM just for GT540, MIUI style and with new kernel..
That would be great!

But we can't, this has been mentioned before, use the search box. Unless MIUI Developers release the source, we cannot build this ROM. Also, if you are so desperate for a ROM, then try it yourself, don't pester developers just because you won't try.

Hehe, couldn't agree more... there are plenty of perfectly fine ROMS already out, and developers are working hard on those.
You need to find a developer that wants this ROM as bad as you... as unfortanatly, no one else has the time to specalise in this for you. (Or just learn to do it ya'self, which is kinda what motivated all the current developers)

The Unofficial CyanogenMod Series - added aokp-jellybean test build

Hi all I will be working this a little. But don't expect anything to great. I don't have a whole lot of time to work on this. I bricked my phone and not having much luck getting it replaced. So I won't be working on this to much until I can get a new phone as I will be spending all my time working.
Most stuff posted here is probably gonna be untested.
I will be posting cm7, cm9, and cm10 builds here.
Idk if any of these work.
Don't get mad at me if they brick your device. Infact treat them with a high chance of brickage, unless otherwise noted.

I understand theres not much of a point to this. The main reason for this thread is cm10 as all the other cm10 roms don't have the stock cm kernel. But since I build the other ones anyways i figured I'd post them. And I'll post install instructions.

You'll likely receive a lot of flak over re-hosting/posting stuff as you've seen thus far, but if you're offering something you've re-worked in any way(which is what I understand you're doing) then I'd stick with just that and link to other threads in your OP if necessary.
If you compiled from CM10 source here we have CM10 kernel for Captivate (no datadata partition).
This is very interesting.
Thank you very much: if compiling went well this is really an important step for JB on Cappy and now we can run also official Pawitp builds.

recovey recongnizes this rom as mokee cedartics port
Hey guys took a look at the thread I love the community trying to make ChaOS a reality... The ROM show's up like that because the dev is probably using my ROM as a base... although my ROM isn't the best base for an unofficial port. Better use randomblame's it's cleaner . Now about the not booting up. I am guessing it is failing to intialize the framework due to a kernel issue. I can fix and make a ChaOS compatible kernel... I will try to do it by tomorrow. Dev please PM me to tell me what development procedures have gone on. Also ChaOS uses the MIUI theming engine so I am guessing some special libs and other stuff must be transplanted into the base. I can also take a look into it if the dev gives me the point of starting Hope you all have a good day

[Q] No Oxygen based Custom ROM Development.

Why are not we seeing Oxygen OS based custom ROM development like those seen for Touchwiz etc? Till the time stable CM comes out for OP2, Oxygen isn't that bad. With xposed you can get enough features of CM. But the one thing where Oxygen lacks is that it doesn't have all the commits for proper functionality of RRO layers themes. May be developers can add those commits.

Still this does not answer the main question. Why there are no Oxygen based Roms? There are bunch of ToutchWiz or Sense based roms and they are really great, in some cases even better then CM,AOSP,AOKP .. like i had HTC One X, every Sense ROM had better camera performance and even battery life, sound quallity and so..

No, not possible. Samsung releases minimal sources that aren't sufficient to make an AOSP or CM-based kernel.
