What's the difference?? Does the AOSP rom change the filesystem or something? Now that nit has released an AOSP theme for DJ05 would there be a benefit of running the ROM itself?
aosp rom is the original google code for the reference platforms.
Aosp theme is just the appearance of the notification bar, the menus, the selection appearance to that of the aosp rom
Hi there! The rom itself is a total conversion of your phone to ASOP, whereas the theme just provides the graphical appearance of ASOP. With the rom, you get the changes to the system as well. The theme does not change anything regarding the system. BTW, Try DJo5 Modem with Blackhole 3.0 and either Adryn's 12/30 kernel non-voodoo or the old UV Geeknik Kernal non-voodoo, I find that both work really well for battery life and provide a good android experience while we wait for the awesome dev's here to get Gingerbread working on Fascinate.
Cheers!

so the rom would change the entire platform of the phone?
I guess the real question I should be asking is AOSP Rom VS. the current system our phone has.. because im familiar with roms and themes in general but I guess i dont understand why everyone is raving over an AOSP rom being created.
Its pure Android. Even the most stripped down versions of the Fascinate roms have at least some Touchwiz in it. AOSP is Android bloat-free. Its where most customized roms like Cyannogenmod and MIUI are based on. So, if we get AOSP, that will make it a bit easier to port Cyangenmod and MIUI and such to the Fascinate, something that is an impossibility with Samsung bloated roms. Also, since it's so pure, it might prove faster the current roms since nothing is bloating it down.

Yes, thank you! Cleared everything up for me
Hi everybody. Since long time I'm using the X-Note rom (I know it's no more here on xda). That rom has a wonderful theme for the entire UI that changes everything in AOSP style. I love it too much, because I don't like TW style. Since today I've never found a theme like that one that could be use on every TW rom.
is there anybody who knows if something like that exist? Or at least something similar?
Sorry. Immediately after writing that question I found VRTheme pureness and darkness. Sorry. You can close it
I remember a few years back a Dev in the HTC forums managed to strip all Sense UI parts from the ROM leaving just the Camera running on the original framework. He then put in all AOSP counterparts including the SystemUI, so everything looked and pretty much was AOSP, but you also got the Sense Camera. I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like that or had any ideas if that could be be accomplished on the S5 as I love the S5 Camera and battery life but prefer the AOSP apps.
I know it could partly be achieved with debloating and theming, but wonder if there was a cleaner way of doing it?
Would like to see something happen on this front. I allways custom after unboxing and now realising im missing quite a bit without original stock cam.
Hi All,
I have flashed a lot of ROMs on my OnePlus X, but every-time I decide either to go back to the stock Oxygen OS or OEM based ROMs such as Flyme/ H2OS or Color OS.
The reason behind is every-time I flash Cyanogen/ AOSPA based ROMs, it doesn't feels as Solid as the stock ROM, looks like something is missing (the UI doesn't feels polished, the colors don't seem punchy).
Everything is cool with Cyanogen/ AOSPA like battery usage, smoothness, customisation etc., but the feel which the stock/ OEM based ROMs have is missing from these ROMs.
You may have observed the differences between the two.
It can be my feeling only, but I wanted opinion from you guys about this.
I'm using OxygenOS 2.2.1-X with Android N-ify and PerfectColorBar Xposed modules.
Thanks in advance.
I think what you are experiencing is a placebo effect that stock is more refined than CM and AOSPA. Regardless of whether this is true or not, I believe that for you it is a placebo effect because if you really do think CM and AOSPA have an unmatured UI, then you should not be using PerfectColorBar because that too has glitches. PerfectColorBar isnt so perfect, in some instances the colour is incorrect. CM and AOSPA are the more refined custom ROMs anyway, which to me seem equally matured in terms of UI as stock. As for some other custom ROMs i do agree they they seem unrefined, such as AICP where the bluetooth share button is coloured in the gallery while the other buttons are in white.
What OP has said is so true, as it is also happens to myself. All this time, I thought it only me that have that feelings.
So, beside the weak LTE signal bug that plagued almost MM ROM for OPX (at least for E1003 in Asia region as confirmed by a lot users already), the half-backed feelings of custom ROM is what makes me always going back to my OOS TWRP backup.

Thanks for your opinion mate but PerfectColorBar is working absolutely perfect for me. I was using FlatStyleColorBar before but that plugin was causing slowness while opening apps, that's why replaced with this one.
Anyways, the placebo effect thing might be true for me
luckily (?!) i only booted oos once to enable usb debugging etc [emoji16]

Yes exactly same issue with me ...all the rom which are CM and AOSP Base seems dull color to me as compared to Chinese rom like color os ,flyme ,and stock rom.. it feel even AOSPA ROM also seem good

Well I do agree with OP. You have to realize OOS and H2OS are especially made for oneplus devices. This means full work on this devices. They HAVE to make it look good to sell it hehe.
CM on the other hand is generic for all devices. Also any variant coming from it.
Just with one feature which is tristate key states on H2OS show how specific the ROM was built, on CM I don't use them for nothing at all. On h2os it has a beautiful UI when changing modes, and those modes actually make sense and are useful.
The thing here is OOS is really bad in my opinion. H2os is really really good, but for some reason I keep coming back to AOSPA or Sultans ROM hehe. It's more customizable and has some really handy features.
But with ROMS is all about taste. Each person has a different opinion, so just use the one you like the most and you'll be happy

Yeah, OOS on the OPX feel like a beta test rom. I switched with sultan cm13 three week ago, i'll wait OOS 3.0 but for now i stay on it, it work well enough for a daily use. In fact there are some bugs here and here but it's like nothing compared to OOS 2.2.1-X...

Well, the reason of flashing custom ROMs, mods etc is that you want to take control of your device. You get barebone stock android. You can easily theme, customize icons, fonts etc. Want better sound quality, flash somethings, use greenify with all its feature working etc.
I remember the first time I flashed custom ROM on my note 2, it was kind of shock to me because of so much changes in look, but smoothness was what kept me there. Sometime later, I could not imagine myself going back to TW.
There are some very good ROMs and with proper theming, you can not even tell the difference (except smoothness in Custom ROMs ). Rest is your opinion, if you don't like something, noone can make you .
But the strange thing is, I don't have this kind of weird feelings of half-baked ROM when I flashed Pure Nexus, Cataclysm, or CM variant on my Nexus 5. Even everything seems better than stock ROM from Google.

It may be because Nexus are made to be used with stock android and flashing other custom ROM based on stock android doesn't makes much of a visual difference.
Been playing around with my OP2 for a while now, trying different roms and themes, but I've kinda grown tired of the stock android look; I love the customisation of it, but it doesn't feel all that exciting/different to look at any more, like Emotion UI or MIMU 8 is.
So what's your favourite pretty rom? Got any recommendations?
Well, if you're talking about looks only then MiUi would be one of the best looking roms.
And it works well with OP2.
I personally like the stock rom and if I ever feel like I need something new, I just install a launcher for a few days...
like action or themer.
