Nexus stock VS AOSP difference - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just rooted my newely aquired Nexus 7 land want tot install a custom ROM. At least i think i do. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between the stock nexus 7 and an aosp rom.
I have always had custom ROMs installed on my S3 and there the difference is pretty clear. Here it seems like stock and aosp are the same. So maybe a stock based ROM like cleanrom would be a good choice?

Don't forget AOKP!
I would also like this clarifying in laymans terms, as AOSP and AOKP pickle me !

Yes, AOSP is Google unmodified rom (base for other vendors like HTC .. etc)
Nexus 7 is Google device = AOSP rom
AOKP rom and Cyanogenmod is an open source replacement firmware for smart phones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices. (wiki quote)

Great. So installing Paranoid Android would basically give me Nexus 7 stock with some added features.
Exactly what I was after.

[POLL] KitKat-based LBL ROM choices

So, @neXus PRIME wants to make a locked bootloader-compatible ROM, aside from his wonderful AOSPA port. Now it's your choice, so choose the ROM you want carefully.
Huh one choice...
But one is not enough .-.
I know, but my hard disk space is not enough.
I have currently PA and aokp sources.
I am planning to replace aokp sources with the one you guys pick here. I can do a third too but then i will have to delete ccache space... But that is not good.
I'd like to see MIUI get updated to the latest version and see how that runs on our device because the MIUI interface itself looks pretty slick, and if possible a port of multirom would be a nice thing as well (if possible: don't know if our device is using fstab or rc)

I agree too
Like Paranoid Nexus, there is the chance of chosen rom to work with unlocked bootloader?
I can choice easier if I know which rom has what kind of features.
Actually MIUI seems like a good idea, plus it's a bit different when compared to the AOSP bunch.
Yeah MIUI would be cool, but if not i would love to see carbon or pacman on LBL.
@neXus PRIME
i appreciate your hard work buddy
instead of which rom you compile,i think we need advanced custom kernel like doomkernel...i'm currently using pacman 4.4.4 and none of cutom kernel present on forum does'nt works
Can we have avatar rom!
Avatar, Chameleon, AOSBam, Sonic.....wtf.... so many kangerzzz
But why is PURE AOSP winning out???
Don't know why but vanir being a ubl ROM is really fast and smooth, is it in the ROM or the optimisations by the dev??
In the feature code, ahe has mentioned many compiler optimisations, isbit because of them or the ROM????
I would have said Slimkat if bagyusz doesn't update it, but as of now i don't know if he will.
An update to the latest MIUI would be lovely, locked or unlocked BL is a matter of secondary importance for me
Apart from that Carbon, Vanir and PACman on a stock/stock-based kernel would also be nice

I think that some peoples want to have the android L version. Also they choosed Pure AOSP. This day, Google push the sdk of the android l version.
For android kitkat based, you can do MIUI Rom or if you want an AOSP, you can choose the AOKP.
The problem with android L is we'd have to check the LBL kernel modules we have work on it otherwise its another big job to update (if its even possible).
No L possible. End of story. Just vote the available choices
Well, when I was adding AOSP to the poll I didn't even think of Android L. Maybe I should have written it more precisely.
And yeah, there is a lot of work to do to make L work on LBL. The first thing that's coming to my head are Adreno drivers from 4.3(we are using them in KitKat, so it's not clean and fully working by any means). The second thing is power saving mode in L: we don't know if that's a kernel or OS feature... And there are many things that may result in a complete incompatibility between our kernel and Android L, and changing ramdisks won't help in that case.
Aren't the sources for L coming out in September? Why even talk about it now, wait till the Cyanogen team start to push the first nightlies, then we can put Android 5.0 in the conversation

[Q] which rom is closest to stock android?

have you seen the one google edition v 1.2? in development section?
I've looked at it but it has 'Basic LG apps and features' so not exactly a pure android rom
there are plenty of AOSP roms here..
CyanogenMod for sure.
I haven't used Nexus devices, but by all accounts Cyanogenmod is pretty close to stock android. I have used Cyanogenmod on a tablet and CyanogenOS (the stock OS based on Cyanogenmod) on a Oneplus One phone, and both felt pretty tidy, fluid, and fast.
So anyways, if you want to have the same experience on G2 just install Cyanogenmod or Blisspop ROM. Based on my observations on the discussion boards here, CM 12.1 (based on Lollipop 5) is reliable and stable, while the CM13 (based on Android 6) is relatively beta-quality. So IMHO, if you want a very good "Nexus" experience, you can flash CM12.1 ROM and see how it goes.
yeah cm is pretty close, just was looking to see if there was something even closer to vanilla. cm has extra stuff built in, but not too bad i guess.

Touchwiz ROM with AOSP / Nexus theme?

Hi guys,
Apologies if this question has been covered before, but I can't seem to find an answer in my searches.
I'm looking for a Touchwiz ROM for a G900I that is or can be themed to look identical (or as close as possible) to the UI of an AOSP ROM, like CM12 or Google Nexus devices.
Until recently, I was happily using CM12.1. The only problem was that Bluetooth audio was not working very well, and there didn't seem to be a way to fix it (it's been a known issue for a number of months but hasn't yet been fixed in nightlies or in any other CM based ROMs).
Ideally, I'd really like the native stability of a Touchwiz ROM, but with an AOSP ROM. Is this possible? Happy to use root and Xposed to get the job done, if that is what is required.
Thanks!

Is there any way to get stock Android Marshmallow on VS980? Not CM.

I'm aware that there is CM 13 available for this but I was looking for an OS that was completely stock. The same that they use in the Nexus devices and the former "Google Play edition" devices. I like that CM uses AOSP as a base but I have no real need for the customization features and I want a simple stock experience
Any other options for me besides building myself?
Thanks.

SM-G360T1 Roms

I’ve been trying to find a good, custom rom that runs 7.1.1 or 8.0.1 but I can’t find any. I also don’t have the knowledge or experience to build my own ROM. Can anyone build one or if there is one, send a link to me? I don’t like the custom roms that are currently on xda because they are using the stock touchwiz and I like a fresh android experience.

I'm in the same boat as you; I also really hate "TouchWiz" and other heavily modified stock ROM's. But as much as we really want a freshly baked AOSP ROM for this device I don't really see any devs interested in building for this device since 2015/2016 -- it's pretty much a goner now, probably long forgotten. The people with all these other Core Prime variants (G360H, G360F, etc) must be really lucky having some enthusiastic devs building for them, haha.
My Core Prime is broken now so I guess it's time for an upgrade, and that upgrade has to be a device with at least some level of good AOSP ROM support ✌?
