Hey, sorry for the N00b question. I'm a software developer (among other things), but am just now delving into the world of custom ROMs for my EVO 4g. I've been looking at what's available and see a few that say either AOSP or NOT AOSP.
This leads me to a few questions.
1. What is AOSP?
- Is it a separate code base (other than 3.70.651.1 #15) from which to start customizing the code to create a custom ROM?
2. What are the main differences that are generally present between the normal code base and AOSP based?
3. Can you go back to a ROM based on 3.70.651.1 (or another base) if you go AOSP?
4. If it is a custom code base, whas it created from scratch or based on something else?
Thanks for your time in answering this. If I'm way off base on what AOSP is, just let me know. I appreciate your replies!
Simple, it is android without any overlay from different carriers. It is just bone stock android.
Android Open Source Project.
Edited because I fail!
Disclaimer: I'm not taking anything away from any of the Devs here. I can't do any of the stuff they do with any of the ROMs, so please, don't take the following as such.
Most of the non AOSP roms here are themed versions of the stock rom with performance increasing tweaks and what not. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it is what it is.
AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod are built from the source code. They are usually more bleeding edge because when the source is released from Google, they get to working on the update. Cyanogenmod 7 is already on 2.3.3, whereas most sense roms are still on 2.2.1
AOSP is short for Android Open Source Project. It's the source code for Android.
HTC takes the AOSP code and then adds Sense and their other tweaks to it. Basically all ROMs whether they are from HTC, Samsung, or who ever, is based on AOSP. The thing is that some of the OEMs modify the code so much that things start to become incompatible. Plus if you go straight to AOSP right now, the source code is up to Android 2.3.3, no OEM released ROM is up to that version. So that creates even more incompatibilities.
Some custom ROMs use AOSP and implement the code to devices from the ground up. That's what Cyanogen Mod does. MIUI also does this (and adds some heavy modifications to the code as well) but that ROM isn't specifically built for the EVO but is instead ported from the Nexus One ROM.
To keep it simple:
- AOSP is Android at it's most basic form, it's straight from Google and is pretty much what the Nexus devices use as final builds.
- OEM ROMs are based on AOSP but are usually outdated and heavily modified.
- You can go back and forth if you want, but if you do, you should wipe your cache as their are incompatibilities.
Wow, that's great everyone! I completely understand now. I really appreciate all the help and replies!
Could I ask what everyone's favorite AOSP & non-AOSP ROM is? I know this has been asked before, but I'd like the opinions of those that replied to this post, if they don't mind.
I'm looking for "bleeding-edge" technology, wireless tethering, hulu, etc. all the bells and whistles essentially. I don't care so much about how "pretty" it looks, just functionality and cool-gadgety-stuff. Thanks again!!!

i would definitely suggest you look at cyanogenmod. it is built straight from source but improved apon in many ways. you can think of cyanogenmod as a crowd sourced rom. meaning anyone can contribute and submit changes to it. it is governed and controlled by the core members of the cyanogenmod team (team douche) but open for anyone to modify. what this gets you is a rom as close to aosp but made better. things like the power bar widget in the notification menu, music controls on the lock screen, quiet hours (notifications are turned down or off as well as dimming leds during set hours so they do not wake if if you say get an email at 5am), etc etc. members of teamwin recently built 4g support from the ground up be themselves and it is now a part of cyanogenmod. besides adding in features they also do a great deal of optimizing creating one of the most streamlined, user friendly fastest roms available.
oh and one part of your question seems unanswered - the 3.70.x.x.x of sense based roms is just the numbering of the rom build from htc for sprint but will always be built off of an older version of android due to the amount of customization done to it.
It's soap spelled wrong.

As far as AOSP go I like Cyanogen CM7 or MIUI but if I want a sense type rom I typically run Mikfroyo or Fresh.
Thank you all very much, once again! I have so far tried the following ROMs.
- King's Ultra Unleashed R2
- Cyanogen Mod 6.1.2
I'm running Cyanogen Mod right now and it's pretty cool, but the problem is I really like different features of each. I do like how many features are built into the Cyanogen Mod ROM though. I have to say, I LOVE the quiet time feature a LOT! I've wished Android had that for a while now. Oh, and the increased battery life and decreased charge time of both is AWESOME!!! My phone had gotten to the point where it wouldn't even charge in the car. It just kept the battery at the level it was at. Now it will only drop 7% battery over the entire night, unplugged!
I'm contemplating trying the EVO Non-Sense right now. I am just trying many of them to see which I like the best. Thanks for all the advise everyone!
Koni Elite II has some really cool features in it. try them all, it's a lot of fun

you can also try cm7, which is gingerbread based. cm6.x.x is froyo based. its in the rc1 stage meaning it is almost finalized. the rc1 does not have 4g but the nightlies do.
rc1

nightlies
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
the nightlies are also 2.3.3 which is the newest build. nightlies=bleeding edge. they, as the name implies, as released nightly and contain all the code submitted from that day. sometimes they are broken or even fail to build but such is the life of living on the edge!
Alanman, thanks! I was thinking about trying that one too and... I agree that this is a BLAST! I'm absolutely loving the custom features, software and abilities.
Digged up an old thread through search
I was wondering what AOSP meant as well, but thanks I now know and might try some of the suggested ROMs in here So far I had only tried a King ROM (Shooter) with Sense 3.0. I don't mind it, but currently I can't get Swype to behave for me so I was thinking about dropping it and moving onto another.
I see the 2 major ones are miui and cyanogenmod 7. I have cyanogenmod, but im not sure if i like it. Id like to try MIUI, but i see tons of different ones. Is there 1 official (latest) release for EVO? Thanks. Also, what is a good cyanogenmod NIghtly for evo? And whats different between those and the official release? Thanks.
Lots of new blood on tongiht, ok here we go:
Cyanogenmod has two basic release types: official and nightly.
Official releases are finished products, per say. Everything should work or at least mostly work (sometimes bugs make it in of course).
Nightly releases are just that: nightly. Those are snapshots of what the team is working on _right_now_. Because of that, NOTHING is guaranteed to work. Mind you, usually things do, but it's the bleeding edge line we walk if we want to play with the newest features first.
On the other side of the fence is MIUI. This project is closed source and run from China ... devs there do not post their code, rather post weekly updates fully compiled. From there some dedicated fans translate and port that ROM to us eager US users. There are two known teams who work on MIUI ports: www.miuiandroid.com and www.miui.us. They actually take a Nexus ROM and port it over to the EVO, then add the English translations. Because they are both pulling from the same closed source ... there is really very little if nothing different between them (I've even flashed one over the other).
In addition to the ROM, there will occasionally be "Language packs" released mid week to correct any missed translations (some apps/buttons still in Chinese, or the verbiage improved).
Biggest blemish to MIUI atm is 4G: it doesn't support it. As MIUI is released closed source the porting teams can't add the code .... and as WiMAX doesn't run in China the originating team can't be bothered to add it. If you dont mind not having 4g (maybe your city doesn't support it), everything else works and it's a fantastic ROM.
Both Roms have market apps that can help manage the whole flashing/updating process if it seems intimidating ("ROM Manager" and "MIUI ROM Downloader").
Also, i took awhile to setup a new homescreen on launcher pro, if i do a titanium backup ,will it backup all my widgets and whatnot? Im asking because im going to fresh to update my prl, whatever that is. What does that do? Thanks
Am I totally missing something with these 2 roms? They seemed to be all the rage and everyone's is so happy we have them, but I don't see what's so great. Both threads for these list numerous bugs and issues. The CM7 has a nightly update for god's sake! If it needs nightly updates it sounds like it doesn't work all that great. And MIUI looks like an iphone.
I'm not trying to start a riot in here either lol. I just don't see what the hype is for.
I would suggest trying them for yourself before knocking them To answer your question in a short manner. The answer is options. You have numerous options and tweaks on both roms that you won't find anywhere else. CM blazes through everything for the most part. MIUI, I hear that iphone excuse all the time. With all the mtz files there are you can make it look like anything you want to. Mix n match like no other rom. Look at the threads started by me and you will see one called "One Stop Shop" with some good info on MIUI.

Whoops. You got a free thanks
Anyways, if u want a shorter answer instead of reading thru these 2 paragraphs, either read Jay's response above, and/or drop to the last paragraph in my response.
Now, let's begin with CM7. We are an officially supported CM7 device, but we still do not have a close to 100% RC yet. There are still some very small quirks that need work, hence, nightlies. All nightlies are, are EXPERIMENTAL builds that contain the most recent advancements. They may or may not be as stable as an RC, which means they can both include fixes, and bugs. The reason for the hype if because its an AOSP ROM. Some ppl aren't very fond of Samsung's TW UI and would rather run on AOSP. The other side to that is updates. We were "lucky" to receive official GB, but we probably won't be "lucky" with ICS, which its safe to say, we will eventually be receiving thanks to CM and our CM Team.
As for MIUI, its based off of CM. This ROM is better known for a greater "customizable" experience. With MIUI you get a similar AOSP experience except with more themes. With MIUI you are able to choose a specific theme for SMS, another theme for the dialer, and another for contacts, etc. So you can basically mix n match themes here n there. The things with MIUI is that it kinda "piggybacks" on CM's proggress, so updates will come a bit after our CM ROMs/Kernels are updated.
****Bottom line: CM7 & MIUI offer a minimilistic AOSP experience, including support, which may or may not include updates that could extend your phones lifespan****

I wasn't knocking them, just didn't see the overwhelming hype. Thanks for the info though. I do love an AOSP rom and use them often. at the moment I am running the clean GB which is sort of aosp. I didn't know about the MIUI themes, that might be interesting if i can get away from the iphone feel.
I am looking forward to the CM9 ICS rom.. now THAT i will be excited about lol.
thanks for the info everyone.

The nightly updates are a feature, not a bug, CyanogenMod is supported by at least 20 different devices, with heavy development on just the base code too, when something for our device, or something in the base code is updated, it is immediately released every night so that everyone is completely current with the latest features and bugfixes
My personal favorite enhancements that were brought with CM7 are Themes that change immediately (No restarts needed, or a visit to clockwork), hundreds of themes available at a moments download from the market (or xda and other places), DSP sound enhancement, moving the status bar to the bottom of the screen (really handy, right by the buttons), performance-wise it is top notch (besides a few bugs that don't really effect me), gestures on the lockscreen (write a G and BAM gmail), Swipe to remove notifications, and I could go on...
Point is, Touchwiz can lick my ***, it offers nothing to me that isn't done better in CM7...
Never used MIUI before, so I dunno about that one...

I'm looking forward to MIUI4 You can always run adw, go, etc., over miui if you want. There is also an app called "altdrawer" that I have linked, if you want to keep all the miui mtz icons and launcher.
---Jay---
I wouldn't use MIUI for the Epic4g (Even though MIUI itself is great) due to bugs.
However, CM7 and eventually CM9 are something I'd highly recommend on any device supported.
Do some research, use Google. Cyanogen Mod has a website itself full of information.
Both represent things that Samsung and Sprint consider not possible with this device.
CM giving you the pure Google experience minus all the Touch Wiz/carrier/Sammy bloat.
MIUI which was/is a very popular ROM across quite a few platforms showing yet another stripped down, minimal experience.
As far as nightlies go... That is progress in the works. Things get implemented, tested by users and then tweaked/fixed/eliminated as the product progresses forward.
I think the best thing ever is CM9 coming to the Epic 4g. This shows that Sammy and Sprint are full of it when it comes to ICS-Android 4.0 on this device. CM team deserves a huge pat on the back for making this happen.

Thanks for that write up. I got CM, but didnt get MIUI. I was thinking it was a CM clone that lagged behind CM in updates, and was made to look like an iPhone.
Your explanation clears up my confusion rather nicely!
I have ran the last 15 cm7 nightlies and they are pretty solid other than a few volume issues I haven't had problems. I am currently trying out miui and it's nice. Packed full of options and everything is working well for me. Miui can be made to look any way u want. I have a gs2 lock screen, some ics theming, s2 boot animation. GPS got a 2 meter lock first try...no complaints
The reason for all of the bug reports is because they're in development threads - we'd be preaching to the choir if we always reported on the benefits (the developers know those things, that's why they took up the porting project). It doesn't mean that the rom sucks, not by any means
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Definitely doesn't suck. To the op...make a backup and try out some stuff. Clean gb is not aosp some tw still there. I oddly like tw bit having variety has brought life back into the epic. I was sure it would be a dead phone until recently when I found out cm and miui became available. Whether people like it or not...once these developers came aboard it helps the entire development process.
Best argument for CM7, as someone already mentioned, is the nightly updates. Remember how long it took to get Froyo? It was due to Sprint/Samsung adding their bloat. Cyanogenmod eliminates those 2 middle men. Thank you devs.

I was exactlyyyyyyy like youuu
Until I flashed cm7 and seen how amazing it really is
I still do think about other tw roms tho cuz every rom is unique and amazing in its own way
But cm7 it really great you could literally do anything u want there's settings for everythingg and themes in the market is amazing
And I never tried miui but as soon as it gets 4g ill b one of the first ppl to flash it lol

I wont whore up this thread but my gripe w cm7 currently is the camera and the volume bug. Its tolerable but damn the camera takes a while to open compared to tw and the volume bug, since I use speaker phone a lot is rather annoying. Still fantastic work. Almost there and its so close. It weird how the volume bug only attacks calls. Media volume control is perfect. But whatever, they will get it. Had this phone since launch day and been Modding it since then lol. This is the best time for the epic now that so many options are available
As a couple others have stated, my only gripe with CM7 is the volume issue on phone calls. If that ever gets squashed, it's damn near perfect for me. My phone runs so much smoother and faster on CM, and the amount of options available to customize your phone (profiles, themes, quiet hours, interface tweaks, etc) makes it even more worth it. I was a CleanGB user for a long time until recently as it is my favorite TW based ROM out there until it ceased being so "clean" with all the continued added stuff so I made the jump to at least try CM (especially since Toad made an MTD version of CleanGB to ease flashing back and forth) and haven't looked back.

There's so many nightlies because of new features being added, new improvements if you want something stable but miss all the goodies then stick with a stock rom. Simple as that man. MIUI I do agree is iPhonish but does have android implemented but I don't care for it good to those who have it but that's my opinion. And CM7 is a great AOSP rom no will ever be able to beat it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Cm7 is great with all the added features and the fact that installing a new theme is one market search away, but its not the end all be all of all roms imo! I do like it but I like all of the ei22 tw roms also... my favorite is the viper rom (for now) and imo it is better than cm7... great battery life and super snappy... I haven't tried cm7 since the rc0 w/ wimax hit so I am probably missing out though.. I know a lot has been fixed since then but I just can't bring myself to flash it yet... cm9 will be the end all be all for me! Looks amazing in the videos, can't wait!!!

Hi
I have recently decided to branch out from the m7 to the m9 in the hopes of keeping up with the latest phones. Here's a little background.
I'm -MightyMouse- (formally phonegeekjr) and I've been developing for about 1.5 years. I started with the HTC One XL and did pretty well there, and learned a lot from that device. After that I had an HTC One M7wls. I didn't do as well there for a number of reasons, one of which being I got sloppy. I didn't properly test my ROMs before releasing them and sometimes I would release them with known bugs in them just to get new releases out there. Most of all, I became bored. I was doing the same things I had learned with the One XL and wasn't learning like I was previously (I should probably note that I took no classes in java or any other programming language, I kind of flew by the seat of my pants all the way). The story could go on for a wile, so in the interest of time, I will skip ahead a little. I began working on a ROM for the m9 shortly after I got a developer edition model. I think I am close to releasing for testers, so I'm putting this out in the hopes that I could get a few. I say that I'm looking for testers/developers in my title for a specific reason. I AM WORKING ALONE. I wan't to be able to bring great roms, but I have limited time to work on them. I have come to face the fact that I'm a kid that has to go to school (though i would much rather due this ) and frankly, I want a life. I need some help carrying the load. I like to work with other people and get ideas from other people. and I LOVE TO BE CORRECTED. I'm still learning, and I'm pretty sure I always will be learning. In doing this I hope to make a more stable ROM that people wan't to use. Speaking of which, I should give some details on the ROM.
I named it PhoenixROM back in my One XL days, and I kept the name cause I thought it sounded cool. The M9 version is based on the latest Android Revolution base (huge thanks to mike1986 for letting me use his ROM as a base). I have added a few things like carrier support for sprint and t-mobile. I have also added xposed and xtended settings, as I prefer xtended settings to sense toolbox, though I've left it as an option. I have left the Android Revolution Mods as well. I prefer a cleaner more stock ROM with minor UI edits, and I have used ElementalX since the One XL and haven't stopped using it.
Anyways that's my ROM. If you wan't more info, Check out my website here
If you wan't to contact me about testing or developing, please pm me.
Thanks for reading this and I hope that I hear from some people soon?

It will be perfect to be integrated xtended settings to Phoenix Rom,I've used it in M7 before,but XS is not compatible with M9 at present.I wish you success.
1, listen to your customers.
2, test your roms properly before release no matter how long it takes. Safe is better than bricked.
3, have a goal in mind and stick to it. So many times I've seen roms lose focus due to requests for added items. Just do a complete rom and leave options to the customers.
4, find a gimmick to use. Make your rom unique to you. An example could be gesture shortcuts.. Like swipe for brightness was back in the day to cm roms.
Otherwise i wish you luck and hope you bring some m9 goodies to the table. My m9 isn't rooted yet but maybe it will by the time you have a good rom out?..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

that's totally wrong! xtended works for m9 like for m7/8.. there are no problems!
Yea xtended settings is working perfect at the moment. I did have a problem, where I have to use an older version of xposed. It works, and it can be updated through xtended settings, but I would love to incorporate the latest xposed into PhoenixROM.

Thanks for keeping up with me. So far so good on finals.
I want to ask the whole community a question. What mods do you like to see in your ROM? I'm getting board of doing the same thing over and over, but I lack imagination so I need help with ideas.
Will start with ARHD 20 on Friday!!!!
@-MightyMouse- in fact I just need a few little things as I like a near stock experience. But as it is of special importance to me I need
> working Multiuser Support
Nice to have are things like
> little tweaking possibilities as e.g. clock in the middle of the menu bar, network speedmeter in menu bar left of battery percentage and
> adding more than fourth buttons to navigation bar
some of the last two bullitpoint are e.g. included in the "System UI Tuner" of the Marshmallow Update.
Thus would love a Sense ROM combining Multiuser & System UI Tuner.
Btw if it's ready to be used as a daily driver I would happily test it
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine (AKA HTC One M9).
Thanks, your the first to give me hard facts about user needs. I think I will have everything covered for you. xposed can do most of those things for you.
yes pls include xposed framework. that'll do. the rest is up to you

Hey Guys.
I have been using Marshmallow for 3 days now and my experience has been great. I will start putting something together next week as I have a non android project else were that need my attention. I need some help though. To add xposed I need help figuring out how to run the correct script as there was another script file added along with the update-binary.

If you add things into your ROM like app sidebar or circle bar or expanded desktop...all things where you can select individual apps, if you could add in a way to back up those settings between clean flashes you'd be the coolest guy on the block. I've never seen a ROM with that option for whatever reason. Maybe for the newbs keep the option greyed out until your apps are restored. Just an idea

Interesting idea. However there is a possibility that it can't be done, but at the same time, nothings impossible. I will defiantly look into it.

Hey Guys
So I had my drive corrupt on me and I lost what I was working on. I'm working on finishing my server so my files can be backed up there. It will be a wile before I come out with anything due to this. Sorry.
Finally
I got my server functioning correctly and am now working on my ROM from my 5 tb raid 6 setup and I also got the ability to fully test marshmallow. expect a testing file soon .
Hey guys
Did you think I forgot about you? Well I'm back to work on this in a few weeks as school is finishing up. I found a partner and I'm currently training him, with the added weight of school, I have no time to work on it, but having someone else will definitely help in the future. I have had another thing come up that is a slight hiccup, I'm no longer using t-mobile. I will still support it but I need a tester to make sure Wi-Fi calling and voice over LTE work. Thank you everyone for your support and patients

To everyone expecting a ROM 6 months ago, I owe you an apology. School and family tied my hands and had no choice but to drop this project for a while. To those of you that have been patient, I really don't know how to thank you. But to all of you, I have a gift.
Check here
This is good news. Cant wait for a stable version to try

Paranoid Android 2016 Launch
We are launching brand spanking fresh. All new features. New team members. New everything and we have made sure that everything that we are releasing has been polished to our best.
The main features and enhancements that you will probably end up noticing are our custom Quick Settings tile reordering functionality, floating window support, immersive mode, the new on-the-spot interface and CM Theme Engine.
Quick Settings tiles can be managed with ease - you can reorder the tiles by simply long pressing them, remove them by dropping them in the trash bin and add them back in from the add panel. The hidden tiles will be out of your way when checking the notifications but will still be usable from the add panel without any hassles if you want to do that all of a sudden.
You can make an application float either by long pressing a notification and tapping the floating button or by tapping the floating button for the application in the recents list. Additionally, you can make peeking (heads-up) notifications open floating windows by enabling that behavior in the "Floating peek" tile.
Those are not the only changes and features we have added. There are a variety of improvements to CAF devices (OnePlus, OPPO and others) which add custom kernels, advanced gesture and buttons control and more to provide a great experience on those devices. Of course we have spent a lot of attention on making all the visual details look right and on making all the functionality work right.
Over the months we have gained a bunch of new team members. We are now ready for all varieties of work - be it low level, aesthetics, user experience, motion design, testing or anything in-between. What we strive for is the best and we are stronger than ever to reach that.
On Paranoid Android 2016 launch we are supporting popular Nexus devices (6P, 5X, 6, 5, 4, 7 2013, 9) and the OnePlus family (One, 2, X) along with some Sony devices. The lineup is this way to make sure we release the best possible experience on all the devices we release for. No compromises, pure greatness.
We highly recommend everyone to use OpenGapps full version (do not use stock). Nexus 6P users need to make sure their vendor partitions are up-to-date (6.0.1). Our Nexus 5X builds come with a prebuilt vendor image so no worries for you folks!
There is more to come in #aospa2016 but for now, grab your builds at http://get.aospa.co/ and #stayparanoid!

Seems to be a popular ROM and people are excited to see it back in action. That's what.
My nexus 6 is still on paranoid Android version of 5.1.1 how do I update to 6.0? Anyone know what I need to do (bootloader's radios etc) to successfully update? I'm currently encrypted and don't mind staying that way.

flash the latest radio and bootloader, first, just to make sure
there is a thread in dev that has them all

Or use this... [MOD][GUIDE] Unencrypt/Flashable - Disable Force Encryption - Any Rom/Kernel and you can use the stock kernel and remain unencrypted.
I've been running this since the announcement yesterday and everything is going smoothly so far. Very stable so far with no reboots or app crashes. Not a ton of features in the rom yet but I'm sure with some time this will be an amazing Rom. It pretty much already is.

I messed up and allowed the ROM to boot before I could install a custom kernel or use that guide. TWRP is asking me for an encryption password now. Is there some kind of default password that got set or am I screwed?
Just skip it, I forget what to hit but don't type anything and hit enter or something, it'll skip thru it

Anyone got the lockscreen to work?
Is Franco kernel working?

I tried their new build.
Wasn't too impressed. Charging is painfully slow, camera is horrible, flashing a custom kernel breaks the camera and it was a real challenge to actually get the ROM to boot.
Hope they fix it in their newer builds.
P.S: I'm talking about the 1+1 here, not the N6 in case anyone was wondering.
