Nexus stock VS AOSP difference

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.

Advice for a good, stable and light Rom?

Hello.
It's the fist time I'm gonna flash a modded Rom cause after a year the phone its staring to do weird things. I'm still at 4.3 Jellybean.
My phone is rooted with stock TouchWiz.
The less wissles and options the better. I don't use the S-pen and would like to have a simple and battery friendly Rom with a good camera app.
Also I'm worry for the sdcard problems i read everywhere and stability.
I guess a Rom with 4.4.4 is better than 4.4.2 but in this so not sure.
What Rom do you recommend?
Thank you!

first you need to choice if you want TW or CM rom...
if TW you need to upgrade bootloader and flash stock KK rom and root and flash custom...
if CM11 no need to upgrade KK and you can flash what you want
for CM12 you need KK bootloader too

Thank you for quick answer.
I read that Cyanogenmod Roms are not optimized and made for Note 3.
Is there a Rom made specifically for N9005 with the features I posted?

1. Go to the Note 3 Android development subforum.
2. Read about the different ROMs.
3. Decide which one you want to try.
4. Flash it.
5. Repeat as necessary.
There are no short cuts. Do the research yourself, only you know if you'll be happy with your choice.

Ok thank you.
Will all the Kitkat based Roms have issues with the Sdcard I read I forums?

I recommend to you the rom which made by Alexander.. And omega rom as a second choice.. Good luck

please, i have this rom
[ROM][N9005] Galaxy S5 Stock ROM - Final v40.0 - Clean, Fast and Stable - [OTA]
have i already in kk bootloader? or not sure? how can i check?
thanks

I'm trying to find Alexander Rom you suggested but i cant find it in the forum. (I'm new with all this about roms).
What is the name of Alexander's Rom?

Well you can use stock ROM, and uninstall all the nonsense apps with any root supported uninstall app, but you still will be forced to have those S related features, S-Scroll, S-Stay and all those nonsense features (which I never have used, ever). Now if you AOSP way then you won't have all those things and you will have a clean ROM but you will miss the lovely S-Pen integration of TouchWiz based ROMs.
So you have to decide according to your preference. I don't believe that AOSP/CM based ROMs are 100% bug free for Note 3, but please correct me if I am wrong. I am an AOSP lover too.
And I also don't believe 4.4.4 has much advantage over 4.4.2 other than some security patches.

Android 4.4.*

Hi there,
I'am Note 3 n9005 user and I feel that android kitkat is most stable and gives best user experience. My question is where will I find clean stock kitkat ROM.
When I say clean I mean all bloatware apps are gone and Google as well. I know that I can clean ROM with apps such as titanium backup but it never works best.
Current android custom ROM that is on my device is Omega kitkat 4.4.2
Regards,

I suggest looking in the development forum. There several ROMs based on tw, cm, and aosp.
I have a Canadian Note 3 and some of the note 5/s6 ports are nice although they are not kk.

Too much time without upgrading my ROM...

Hi folks,
it's a long time i didn't upgrade my phone to a new ROM, and I'd like to ask suggestions on how to do that.
Here my tech specs:
- i9505 international unbranded Galaxy s4 (rooted)
- TWRP version 2.8.5.0
- WANAMLite Rom Kitkat 4.4.2
- Xposed Framework with wanamlite xposed
- Nova Launcher
I saw there are plenty of new roms, but I'd like to know:
- Lollipop or mashmallow? Any experience?
- I was interested in the resurrection remix 6.0.1, anyone has tried it?
- How do I proceed at best without losing settings and data?
- Backup with TWRP or Titanium?
- Should I Wipe everything or can I simply keep my data?
Sorry if I'm asking the same questions everybody does, was just too much time off the scene
thanx

Believe me, it's better to stay on Wanam Lite, maybe one of the best and Stable roms ever made for the galaxy S4, even though it's running kitkat. Do you still have the link for Wanam lite 3.1? Can't find it anymore. Thanks a lot!

When changing ROMs and/or Android versions it is always recommended to do a full wipe.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup and your ROM with TWRP.
As to the matter of best ROMs, that is a very subjective matter.
ISF prefers TouchWiz ROMs. I prefer custom ROMs, like CM based or AOSP based.
Check the Resurrection Remix thread for experiences. I find it's the most customizable ROM available so far, but I'm not actually running it right now.
I'd go for Marshmallow just because of a slight performance increase over Lollipop.
If you want even more performance, check out the JDCTeam ROMs (Optimized CM13, AOSP and Optimized Slim6).

Some of the newer ROMs may require an up-to-date bootloader and modem.

First of all thank you guys.
Yeah I'm actually looking for a non touchwiz rom also. I'll check out
In this old post the link doesn't work:

If anyone has a valid link to Wanamlite 3.1 for i9505, ca you please PM me?
Anyone suggesting some other Roms?

[Q] Stable rom for A300FU

Just picked up a cheap Samsung A300FU, which is running the stock Marshmallow firmware.
I believe I have successfully rooted and flashed TWRP to the phone.
It is currently running the latest Marshmallow Samsung stock rom.
I'd like to flash a stable Lollipop or Marshmallow rom, but I have no idea what rom to use. I'm generally a HTC user but as this will be a second phone for me, I just needed something stable, and I can't really see any non-Touchwiz roms other than CM12.1 which has wifi issues, and cm13 which is WIP.
Is there anything stable, non-touchwiz (ie aosp type) for the A300FU that is good for a daily driver?
Thanks,

I have Listed all ROMs, with Bug list, for the A300FU in this Thread: [How to] Root, TWRP, Flash A300FU / A300Y Noob friendly guide
I guess the RR is maybe a ROM for you

Many thanks for that, I couldn't find a thread regarding Resurrection Remix for the A300FU, probably why I never realised there was such a rom.

Hi, is there any deodex available for 6.0.1 A300fu?

Maybe this is what you search [ROM][A300FU][6.0.1] [GS]Mod

Thanks, but I was looking for unmodified deodex like they had for lollipop.
