AOSP Look TW ROM??

Hey all, I usually don't do this as I've seen some other people bi*****g about development on this phone and how it's stalled. I am NOT saying that at all, was just wondering if anyone is/doing/going to develop a TW (since no AOSP ) ROM that looks like AOSP? Somewhat like @nitroglycerine33's Eclipse? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840
Or if anyone knows how to and would like to, I have some people who are very interested in having ROM(s) out there like this and can donate. Thanks

try raffaeles88 foxhound rom.. it's the closest one to aosp.. ?

I'm going to make two assumptions: 1) you're on Verizon and 2) you don't have a developer edition phone. If that is the case you can only flash TW based ROMs made for the Retail version of the S5. Having said that there is one ROM I'm told that comes pretty close to an AOSP look and feel and that is the Alliance ROM. I have not flashed that ROM, but reading through the threads in the Android Development section there seems to be a lot of happy users of that ROM. On the other hand, if you want a very lean, debloated, fast ROM with great battery life and everything works (all essential functions) there is the Syndicate ROM which as near to the pure Android experience as possible (hard to tell it's TW based). Both these ROMs can be flashed through SafeStrap or if you have a Dev Edition S5 just flash through TWRP. Unless you have a Developer Edition S5 you're not going to be able to flash any of the available AOSP ROMs...it just isn't going to happen without an unlocked bootloader and no one has broken that "code" yet.

Lol well the first assumption should be easy as i posted in Verizon general S5. And an obvious yes for the 2nd as i know the only aosp roms are for the dev ed. Alliance rom is nice but too big and many things with stock ugly 4.4 colors

"Since no AOSP"? Lol seriously I'm confused. Does he want an AOSP rom or an AOSP rom that looks like TouchWiz or a TouchWiz rom that looks like AOSP? What is life?

The OP was quite easy to understand. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader I want a TW ROM that looks like aosp, hence the link to my old favorite ROM from when I had the s4 I put there as reference. He might not be getting an S5 so I just wanted to see if someone could get in touch with him and Maybe get some permissions to do that or w/e..

Well now that i see from my computer rather than phone i guess it's general S5 which is silly that when i click on general under the verizon section it doesnt have it's own section. oh well

It wold be awesome to port this to G900F also. It's the most beautiful TW AOSP theme I have ever seen. Damn you made me regret my old S4 lol. Pure AOSP look with TW Camera...
I follow you, if someone is willing, I would donate for this kind of work.

I will like too a tw with AOSP look

Well, I've learned on this site that not everything is obvious all the time. I've seen T-Mobile and ATT users posting question to this site. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm, but I must agree, if I had read your profile a little closer I wouldn't have had to make any assumptions. My answer, however, remains the same.

can you tell me what other roms are better then cynogen i've only experienced cynogen =/

Is it not coming until January because it needs to include TW?

There are just no custom roms better than stock in Note 4 case. That was the point.

Disagree. FireKat and DynamicKat in TMobile thread for Note 4 have great reviews (improved battery and performance over basic stock). True, these roms are still based on stock but they do offer more than pure stock alone. Agree that stock (or custom stock) is better than CM on our Note 4 though.

Cyanogenmod: why are there no stable release?

I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.

Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?

I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.

Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things

What do you mean by "stock", something official from HTC? If so, its not going to happen.

Yup. I've been running the first build for the last week. Data & Wifi work 100%.
There is a new build (CM 14.1) that was posted yesterday which also has Data & Wifi working.

No, at least not a major one. Only small hiccup is that you need to wait 1-5minutes for RIL(radio interface layer) to show up.

The best you can hope by "staying" stock is a port of the Pixel ROM for the HTC M8.
GPe devices have stopped since 2015 so the only stock Android 7 ROM is the Pixel one.

Which isn't saying it any differently than you did before. "Stock" means completely different things to different people. To me, "stock" means the software as it came from the factory, in this case that would be official HTC software. Which for the vast majority of M8 devices, also means Sense.
Some folks say "stock" to refer to a "pure Android" experience, such as Nexus (with little or no manufacturer-specific "skinning" or other customization of the OS). But as a tiny portion of Android devices actually have Nexus software, this can hardly be referred to as "stock".
Others may refer to AOSP based custom ROM as "stock" or at least "stockish". But the very notion of a "custom" ROM is contradictory to the term "stock". While AOSP ROMs may be closer to a "pure Android" Nexus-type experience (than manufacturer skinned ROMs); you can hardly call them stock in any correct meaning of the word. CM for instance, contains so many tweaks and custom CM apps, calling it "stock" is sort of a joke at this point.
As always, when asking for something on this forum,; its best to be specific.
