What are your thoughts on these 4.4 Kit Kat versions? I'm currently running OneDroid, a CM11 mod. Do you see certain advantages to running CM and AOSP Roms versus GPE?
What are they? Discuss.
GPE with Xposed and GravityBox is good enough for me. Adds a lot of features to a stable base.

GPE = Stable (no bugs) everything works as it should
AOSP/CM = More features, Themes, not as stable as GPE, may have some bugs or missing features.
GPE + Xposed + Gravity Box > AOSP/CM any day

Hi Guys, I am confused. What is the difference between the a i9505G rom and CM Rom? As far as I can tell, they are both vanilla android 4.2.2...or am I wrong? I would really appreciate it if someone can clarify for me. Thanks!
CM is pure AOSP
GOOGLE is not.
Google.comes with many stock google apps that are not open source... such as maps and gmail.
CM does not.
The GE edition is maintained by Samsung.
CM is well maintained by CM.
There are major differences also in uset interface.
CM has man advancements to the UI and tweaks that stock Google even on the official NEXUS does not.

Ah, I see. Thank you so much for the clarifications!
Software wise - The i9505g has IR Blaster support but CM doesn't... Yet. Plus it's a lot smoother than CM but it lacks a lot of the good features that CM has to offer.
Has CM merged with the i9505GE ROM yet?

GPE update from samsung.Like the nexus device,but nexus device update from google.
CM basic on AOSP.CM is a custom rom.
I find it odd that there is not a single GPE Rom with added features or toolkits (like Sense 5 Toolkit for ARHD 22.0 Sense ROM).
Als, none of the GPE ROMs have OTA capabilities. If someone is able to walk me through, I would love to use one of the system dumps or Bigxies stock roms to create an OTA capable GPE ROm. If this is against forum rules, let me know Mods.
Did you look very hard?

One of the best roms in my opinion. There is no ota, but the customazation settings are there with the included gravity box toolkit and the xtheme engine. Check it out.

or you could get the stock gpe rom and get ota....
Probably because we have CM/PA if you want a custom stock Android experience

That would make sense, except that both those roms are having their fair share of camera based issues. I love CM, but cannot stand the mediocre camera performance. I love PA even more, but the camera issues remain.

True, but those AOSP based ones aren't as optimized as the GPe. I would rather take a stable and fast experience over a laggy and customizable experience any day. I love the AOSP ROMs, but the GPe is for those who don't want to be on the bleeding edge.
On a side note, the AOSP support for this device isn't that good either. Compared to my old GS2, there was tons of development going on as far as AOSP goes. That might be due to the fact that TouchWiz was terrible (still is). I am 100% satisfied with my One converted to GPe. Plus, when 4.4 comes out we will get a stable OTA in around 2 weeks (based on previous updates) whereas CM will still be in its unofficial stages by then.
Install the Xposed framework and then gravity box. It brings a lot of customization to GPE.

I´m wondering why there is no vanilla kit kat rom. Aren´t people interested in vanilla rom or is it hard to build this rom?
I know that PA is close to stock, but in future developers will add more features.

There are plenty of kk ROMS. PA/CM/gummy/cyanfox. All those are AOSP. Prob the closest you'll get to vanilla.

Hey XDA,
So I came from the Toro GNex and really enjoyed both Muzzy and Shiny's roms since they were both a very vanilla version of AOSP.
Does anyone know of any roms, specifically for Verizon, that are pretty close to vanilla AOSP? I would prefer stability over custom features that many devs have added to their versions of AOSP.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Since the G2 didn't come with an AOSP, people have mostly been using AOKP or CM to make their vanilla-ish ROMs. I haven't seen anything that's just plain AOSP.
Have you tried other ROMs?

I've been pretty swamped at work, so I haven't had a lot of time for crack flashing any AOSP roms. Currently I'm running debloated stock.
I didn't realize PA or CM were close to vanilla AOSP, do you recommend giving them a shot/are they stable at this point?

So I'm on CM11 using the nightly build from 1/31. You can try the latest nightly, but there' have been reported issues. I'm not familiar with them though. There's a lot of talk on the G+ CM community. I'd join that anyway.
Whatever you do, do a complete backup so you can just revert back if something isn't to your liking.

I'm on PA 4.0 Beta 6 and I really like it. There is a new 4.1 version out that I think is good, but it took out some of the customization (so it's probably worth trying both to see which you like). PA is vanilla I think...I've ran it for so long I don't have a reference point any more haha. I came from a Toro GNex on PA 3.99.

Also came from toro Gnex and used vanir there. Now I use PA.:good:
For the record, ParanoidAndroid is normally FAR from pure vanilla AOSP, it's only vanilla-ish now because the main features(hybrid engine, Hover(the Halo replacement), per-app dpi, etc.) are not finished yet. That being said, stability is never really an issue(all ROMs have issues at the moment, at least until the new 4.4 kernel sources can be implemented). I factory flashed my manta last weekend, and I forgot how bare pure AOSP really is. Most custom features add to the experience, and if you don't like them you can just turn them off. :good:
Still, the G2 is lacking a true AOSP ROM. Again, PA doesn't count because eventually it will re-add all the features in a few months time. There's nothing like Purity or RastaKat for the G2. I was contemplating learning how to port Purity over to the G2 earlier, seeing as how Purity has a hammerhead version. I just don't have the time at the moment.
Did anyone tried official liquid smooth kit kat ?

The latest build was compiles March 13. You might want to try ROMs with newer builds than that one. I think it has been discontinued for Z1c.

You are right but there is not much options for z1 compact

If you want an AOSP rom with the most options, based on my experience, try Carbon ROM or C-ROM. These are balanced in terms of customization and stability. For the most stable rom, but with less customization, try Paranoid Android.
