Sorry i am a noob.
And i just wanted to know what is a clean rom
and what are the benefits.
Also what is cyanogenmod.
Thank you!!
Is a clean rom like no benfits or something???
Stock?
Well you could say 'a clean ROM' is an unedited version of an operating system provided by a manufacturer/company (so, it's the ROM that you get when you buy a phone). CyanogenMod is an 'aftermarket firmware'. So it's a ROM that needs to be flashed (installed) after purchasing a device. By 'ROM', meaning the actual operating system. Clean ROMs can also mean the original operating system from sources or other phones, flashed to another device (such as the LG GT540).
A clean ROM doesn't always mean no benefits. It is minimalistic in some aspects and not filled with mods/apps. They could also be sometime more stable (e.g. no crashes).
Is AOSP considered a "clean rom"? Sorry for the noob question.

yes something like that. for our phone, cyanogenmod is ported from other phones as our phone is not supported. but aosp rom is not ported but taken from google so it makes it "clean"

In my opinion, yes..
AOSP means Android Open Source Project .

Isn't Swiftdroid from CyanogenMod's MDPI sources?

No, its from source.
I always thought a clean rom was the roms lg officially releases as there built specifically for the phones hardware etc
and i thought cyanogenmod aosp etc where dirty so to speak because they use googles open source or ports etc meaning that theres some amount of hacking porting involved in some aspect or use of drivers that do the job but are not meant for the hardware so say if we get 2.6.35 kernel working someone could release an aosp from source but it wouldnt be classed as clean because of ported hacked kernel ?
Okay. I think i get it now. Still having a hard time getting used to all these terms. So if AOSP is considered "clean" then is there a difference in performance with Cyanogen?
Btw i also read here somewhere that a few devs are trying to port the . 35 kernel. Is that still active?

Also another question what is a fastboot rom??
Are there other types of roms as well??
For e.g. i don't really know any!!!
THANKS!!!!
Fastboot
A fastboot ROM is a ROM containing fastboot. So you can flash ROMs using fastboot. Hold the camera button when you see the LG logo while turning on the device. If you see a dark blank screen, that means you have fastboot. You need drivers and the fastboot files to flash ROMs, so be careful.
"a pure google experience"
Clean roms known as a ASOP are built of from scratch. This means no cyanogenMod or such tweak modifications has been added or applied during process.

And all this "to be released today, because facebook voted so" seems unprofessional. I've never tried MIUI, but the team seems too childish.

1. Where is this ROM from? Is it based on the Dexter version?
MIUI ROM is compiled based on the source code "CM6 for Milestone".

I stand corrected - thanks for the info.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIUI
"MIUI (pronounced "Me UI", a play on the common abbreviation of the words user interface as UI) is an aftermarket firmware for cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system."
BUT THEN.
"MIUI is based on Android 2.3 and CyanogenMod 7.1 sources, and is developed initially in the Chinese language by Chinese startup Xiaomi."
So... Perhaps there are some dependencies but are different animals.
MIUI is based on AOSP.
Yes, it use CM device specific code, but it is AOSP.

Indeed, this means it has ICS drivers for 2.x kernel so they can be used for current Atrix CM9/10 releases.

afaik faux's and the cm kernels that are based upon his kernels have a lot of stuff ported or even used directly from the lg o2x sources, so modding the sources that lg will hopefully release soon make it easier for devs to get it to work, yet is still a huge amount of work for them.

No dice on the libs. Phone won't even go past the Motorola logo (the ZTE libs at least got to the bootanimation). We need a new kernel.
Kernel is not enough. How about fingerprint scanner and webtop!?

You will have to wait for Official ICS from Moto for now. Kernel is enough proper ICS HWaccel support. And FP was succesfully ported to CM7; My guess its that it can also be ported to CM9/10 with that code. We need to find a dev willing to do it though. Turl1 was trying to port FP over to CM9. I don't know if he is working on it anymore.

Dude, it was almost done. Turl1 even showed screenshots of FP running on ICS if im not mistaken. I don't remember well because im not a huge fan of FP so i didn't pay much attention to it.
What i meant about the kernel was that if we got a 2.6.36 kernel with proper ICS libs, we would have fully working CM10/9, which is a great thing because most custom roms are based on CM.

Latest CM10 nightlies already use the source which they got leaked.
does it mean CM can incorporate FM radio in the rom since the source is out?
Why does everyone assume the CM10 team now can perform magic just because the kernel sources are out? Do remember that Exynos is still undocumented and CM10 will never (not even when hell freezes over) be 100% perfect. Though, it's perfect enough already to permanently ditch touchwiz.
They should put more energy in to releasing jellybean to use all now this is released
CM team already had these sources so it doesnt add anything to cm10.

Hey!
I was wondering which ROM available for lux isn't based on Cyanogenmod? With the current situation, I don't know if anything based on CM is good in the long run (although I may be wrong). Until LineageOS for lux comes out I'd like to try that.
Thanks

It's not based on CM, but it has features cherry-picked from CM sources. It's still an AOSP base though.

No. CM development has ceased but the team has moved on to create LineageOS, which is a fork of CM afaik. AOSP will never be in jeopardy in the foreseeable future as that is Android OS itself without google services.

Oh that's right! They can just use the updates from LineageOS to update the features they got from CM.
Thanks
In the meantime I've read that it's best not to use CM until LineageOS comes out (thus my question). Is that exaggerated?
