What's the difference between an AOKP based rom and an AOSP one?
cheers
Alan
Aosp is the most vanilla version of android. It is the source released by Google. AOKP takes that source (aosp) and customizes it. They add ribbons and battery bar and other ROM control mods that aosp does not have. Flash one and check it out. I recommend task650's AOKP under the original development link.

This is my first nexus device,
i often hear how great AOSP, and AOKP is. being pure google experience.
So AOSP is pure google, and the most famous one is cyanogen team which makes cyanogen mod.
AOKP is based on cyanogen works and they add more stuff to their kang roms.
i'm seeing some roms in development thread labeled as aosp.
isn't the nexus7 stock rom considered aosp?
what's going on?
The ROMs on nexus devices are AOSP. Cyanogenmod is compiled from aosp. But with changes.
ROMs labeled AOSP will be based from 'pure android'.
Hope this answered your question
So I want to install a custom rom but I am confused as to which I should use. I've read different roms and I've seen that they have different rom "bases" like cm 10.1, aokp, aosp, and PA(does it have a different rom base?). Just a question, what is the differences among them? Please help so I can decide which to flash.
Hmmm, good question, well most of the ROMs here are build off of official ROM source and thats what it means by base and the difference between them is almost everything from ui to features and stuff like that and to know which ROMs you like try flashing the the official ROMs like AOKP, CM, AOSP, and PA and then once you find the base you like then flash the other ROMs that are customized versions built from that ROM base

All of these ROMs are built from AOSP; that's Android Open Source Project. It's where Google officially releases the source code. All custom ROMs on this type of device will be built on AOSP. If a ROM says it has CM or AOKP base, that means they built it off the source code for that ROM (which is initially built off AOSP) and added their own tweaks or whatever.

Hi there,
Since a few days there are some new roms popping up, especially some all in one roms as PAC, Rootbox and Revolt.
All are based on CM / AOKP / PA. But what are exactly the differences between them?
Thanks in advance

You have AOSP (android open source project) that is the base source code released by Google (google does it's development behind closed doors, typcially without input from other developers, and then just released a "version" out to the public. Version = 4.2.2 Jellybean, 4.1.x ICS,...)
CM, AOKP, are basically modifications on top of AOSP (they might have slightly different/better lock screens, features, tweaks etc.... a combination of different ideas to improve on the system)
PA is a modification based on an idea(DPI control over apps and UI) on top of AOSP
When you have AIO ROMs, they basically cherry-pick amongst the different features or modifications available. Sometimes, the tweaks from CM and AOKP are not compatible (like they both make modifications to the lock screens.... which one to choose? Combine both, or only use one?. CM/AOKP doesn't have DPI control, so combining CM+PA should be fine)
If you look at the AIO Rom changelock, they'll tell you

Hello
I am fed up of the TouchWiz look and feel.
I want to stay closest to AOSP in look and feel, apps, etc.
All Android 4.3 and 4.4 versions posted on XDA have some or the other bugs for I9500 (in both Android development and Android Original development)
When I checked CM downloads. there is one 10.2 stable build for I9505 (Officially supported) on their site.
All unofficial builds are ported on XDA, and I9500 is an unofficial device for CM.
For I9500, on XDA, we have both CM 10.2 nightlies and CM 11 nightlies. But none of them have any stable builds.
Also, no AOKP, Slim, etc.
Where can I get a pure AOSP look and feel kind of ROM. Even Android 4.2.2 will also do.

It seems Chroma is no longer developed and the kernel is getting old without security updates. How do I know what actively developed kernel is compatible with that ROM? Thanks for any feedback.
Since Chroma rom is a AOSP based rom, you can use whatever AOSP kernel you like. You can try Quanta kernel (v20). I'm using it on Dirty Unicorn rom since 2 months
Thank you very much. So the first is to find the base ROM, AOSP for Chroma. Also, is it correct to assume I have to pick an AOSP kernel for marshmallow (if they have for all of the Android variants)?
Nevermind: It is in Quanta's page for kernel v20:
"This kernel is made for Android 5.1 (Lollipop) up to Android 6.0. (Marshmallow)"
Thanks again.
