I've searched high and low but have yet to come across a truly vanilla rom. I used to have a Desire and there are a few roms like Oxygen and Redux which are generally based on CM7/6 source, but they strip out all the extra bits and put a few tweaks in here and there. Is there anyone out there that would do this for the HD? Lots of people (Like me) just want the OS to download and I will take care of theming/apps/settings/etc.
So, is there one I haven't seen yet? If not, is anyone interested in a project like this?
Adwinp has an aosp rom in the development thread, its vanilla rom with 2.3 base and its still work in progress.
Its called [email protected] I have been watching his thread since he announced development, so at the moment there are still bugs present and some stuff is not working but I think if more people show interest in this project and help with bug fixes we could have a vanilla rom sometime in the near future that's not cyanogenmod.
I'm like u, wishing there were more aosp roms available.

Hey, sorry for the N00b question. I'm a software developer (among other things), but am just now delving into the world of custom ROMs for my EVO 4g. I've been looking at what's available and see a few that say either AOSP or NOT AOSP.
This leads me to a few questions.
1. What is AOSP?
- Is it a separate code base (other than 3.70.651.1 #15) from which to start customizing the code to create a custom ROM?
2. What are the main differences that are generally present between the normal code base and AOSP based?
3. Can you go back to a ROM based on 3.70.651.1 (or another base) if you go AOSP?
4. If it is a custom code base, whas it created from scratch or based on something else?
Thanks for your time in answering this. If I'm way off base on what AOSP is, just let me know. I appreciate your replies!
Simple, it is android without any overlay from different carriers. It is just bone stock android.
Android Open Source Project.
Edited because I fail!
Disclaimer: I'm not taking anything away from any of the Devs here. I can't do any of the stuff they do with any of the ROMs, so please, don't take the following as such.
Most of the non AOSP roms here are themed versions of the stock rom with performance increasing tweaks and what not. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it is what it is.
AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod are built from the source code. They are usually more bleeding edge because when the source is released from Google, they get to working on the update. Cyanogenmod 7 is already on 2.3.3, whereas most sense roms are still on 2.2.1
AOSP is short for Android Open Source Project. It's the source code for Android.
HTC takes the AOSP code and then adds Sense and their other tweaks to it. Basically all ROMs whether they are from HTC, Samsung, or who ever, is based on AOSP. The thing is that some of the OEMs modify the code so much that things start to become incompatible. Plus if you go straight to AOSP right now, the source code is up to Android 2.3.3, no OEM released ROM is up to that version. So that creates even more incompatibilities.
Some custom ROMs use AOSP and implement the code to devices from the ground up. That's what Cyanogen Mod does. MIUI also does this (and adds some heavy modifications to the code as well) but that ROM isn't specifically built for the EVO but is instead ported from the Nexus One ROM.
To keep it simple:
- AOSP is Android at it's most basic form, it's straight from Google and is pretty much what the Nexus devices use as final builds.
- OEM ROMs are based on AOSP but are usually outdated and heavily modified.
- You can go back and forth if you want, but if you do, you should wipe your cache as their are incompatibilities.
Wow, that's great everyone! I completely understand now. I really appreciate all the help and replies!
Could I ask what everyone's favorite AOSP & non-AOSP ROM is? I know this has been asked before, but I'd like the opinions of those that replied to this post, if they don't mind.
I'm looking for "bleeding-edge" technology, wireless tethering, hulu, etc. all the bells and whistles essentially. I don't care so much about how "pretty" it looks, just functionality and cool-gadgety-stuff. Thanks again!!!

i would definitely suggest you look at cyanogenmod. it is built straight from source but improved apon in many ways. you can think of cyanogenmod as a crowd sourced rom. meaning anyone can contribute and submit changes to it. it is governed and controlled by the core members of the cyanogenmod team (team douche) but open for anyone to modify. what this gets you is a rom as close to aosp but made better. things like the power bar widget in the notification menu, music controls on the lock screen, quiet hours (notifications are turned down or off as well as dimming leds during set hours so they do not wake if if you say get an email at 5am), etc etc. members of teamwin recently built 4g support from the ground up be themselves and it is now a part of cyanogenmod. besides adding in features they also do a great deal of optimizing creating one of the most streamlined, user friendly fastest roms available.
oh and one part of your question seems unanswered - the 3.70.x.x.x of sense based roms is just the numbering of the rom build from htc for sprint but will always be built off of an older version of android due to the amount of customization done to it.
It's soap spelled wrong.

As far as AOSP go I like Cyanogen CM7 or MIUI but if I want a sense type rom I typically run Mikfroyo or Fresh.
Thank you all very much, once again! I have so far tried the following ROMs.
- King's Ultra Unleashed R2
- Cyanogen Mod 6.1.2
I'm running Cyanogen Mod right now and it's pretty cool, but the problem is I really like different features of each. I do like how many features are built into the Cyanogen Mod ROM though. I have to say, I LOVE the quiet time feature a LOT! I've wished Android had that for a while now. Oh, and the increased battery life and decreased charge time of both is AWESOME!!! My phone had gotten to the point where it wouldn't even charge in the car. It just kept the battery at the level it was at. Now it will only drop 7% battery over the entire night, unplugged!
I'm contemplating trying the EVO Non-Sense right now. I am just trying many of them to see which I like the best. Thanks for all the advise everyone!
Koni Elite II has some really cool features in it. try them all, it's a lot of fun

you can also try cm7, which is gingerbread based. cm6.x.x is froyo based. its in the rc1 stage meaning it is almost finalized. the rc1 does not have 4g but the nightlies do.

nightlies
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
the nightlies are also 2.3.3 which is the newest build. nightlies=bleeding edge. they, as the name implies, as released nightly and contain all the code submitted from that day. sometimes they are broken or even fail to build but such is the life of living on the edge!
Alanman, thanks! I was thinking about trying that one too and... I agree that this is a BLAST! I'm absolutely loving the custom features, software and abilities.
Digged up an old thread through search
I was wondering what AOSP meant as well, but thanks I now know and might try some of the suggested ROMs in here So far I had only tried a King ROM (Shooter) with Sense 3.0. I don't mind it, but currently I can't get Swype to behave for me so I was thinking about dropping it and moving onto another.
Hello Guys,
welcome to the world of Team-Exodus.
What is Team-Exodus ?
We are a small group of entusiasts that like to learn more about Android and the Android-ROM developement.
We aren't exactly beginners But there is still room to learn more (you never end learning).
What is Exodus-Rom ?
Maybe, we better should start, what Exodus-Rom isn't: It isn't a (semi)professional mainstream ROM like CyanogenMod,AOKP or similar Roms. We don't focus on buzzword features, nor are we into "bling bling" options. We don't need a "change clock color" option, just because we can do it. These are "low hanging fruits", something nearly everybody can do, who has a computer to compile Android.
So what is Exodus-Rom, what is our focus on ?
We mainly focus on learning how things can be done. We are more into "quality over quantity". We prefer to have 4 or 5 real good and stable working features and not 20-30 features that work... somehow... sometimes...
We want performance, a fast, smooth fluid UI, a real good user experience, not a overbloated kang rom.
For instant that's the main reason why we currently don't have a Marshmallow Rom online, but I will give you a little more information regarding Exodus-6.0 (marshmallow) later.
But before that, who are we, who is "Team-Exodus" ?
The core team of "Team-Exodus" consists of the following guys:
@PrimeDirective - Dave, a very talented developer from the US, founder and Team Leader of Team-Exodus, specialist in App developement (for instant our Exodus Updater or the Drop Wallpaper App) and also our specialist for in deep functionalities of the Android Rom (like a complete rewritten Navbar customization). He currently uses bacon (Oneplus One) and Flounder (Nexus 9) for developenemt
@Raja.M - Raja, a real nice guy from India, he is our java specialist, he started Android developement something link 6 month ago but his knowledge is fast growing. He developes on the bacon (Oneplus One)
@TheCrazyLex - Alex, a kernel specialist from germany, he joined Team-Exodus like 3 month ago, mainly responsible to optimize and unify our kernels where possible. He also uses the Bacon (Oneplus One) as developement device.
@usmcamgrimm - Adrian, our graphics and theme specialist. Beside his amazing wallpapers, he is also responsible for all our LGE G3 devices. He mainly developes on the VS985.
@Martin_Ro - myself, Martin, also from germany, mostly responsible for the server with the build system, gerrit and download page. I'm also developing here and there if I find some time as I'm a married guy with to young boys. I'm developing on shamu (Nexus 6).
But beside this core team, there are a lot more ppl that help us making the Exodus Rom as amazing as possible, I will add some more of them step by step
So, now, back to Marshmallow and why it takes so much more time to bring an Exodus-6.0 to you guys:
For this to understand, you need to know more about where we come from.
On late 2014 we (Dave and Me) parted from VanirAOSP (that wasn't really AOSP but also used CM as base at that time btw) because we feeled like it started to get more and more into that mainstream "feature count is everything".
With 5.1 we started to directly use CyanogenMod (cm-12.1) as base, but was somewhat annoyed by upcomming issues because they used their open source branch as testfield for unfinished stuff, so for 6.0 we decided to go as near as possible back to strict AOSP.
But a matter of fact is: With strict AOSP you aren't able to support every device, and not as many devices as we want to support. So we have had to make some decisions and try some stuff. In the end we started developing Exodus-6.0 with a Mixture of strict AOSP and CAF as base, with the really amazing wide support of CyanogenMod regarding devices.
But with this, we got back to one of our main concerns: CyanogenMod is doing a fantastic job regarding device support (nobody can beat them in that department) but they are cluttering their stuff more and more. In the past few month, they started to create their own SDK, their own framework. And their SDK started to grow like a octupus, sticking his arms into every aspect of android. But we don't want to use their sdk, so we needed to remove it from everywhere.
And that was, what took so long. We wanted the device-tree and their hardware layer, but not their feature, and for sure not their SDK. And removing that stuff from everywhere inside the device-trees and Hardware layer.
Also we needed to use some of their code stuff in various places to make the connection between our AOSP/CAF based ROM and their hardware/device stuff.
So that took us nearly a month to finish up, but now we have first working experimental builds for bacon, shamu and VS985 so we can go into the real developing stuff.
There is still a lot to do (bring back all the features we want to, make the rom that fluid that you might be used to from EXODUS-5.1 etc.) But the real hard part is done now and we are way neared to a first public beta. Depending on the time Dave can find for Exodus (he is really really busy currently because of a new job), we expect to have a public beta by the end of the month...
So stay tuned and be patient
Made sticky
Hello! I enjoyed the 1/2 of the core team's and the new teams work since JB VanirAOSP to Exodus .
Just wondering, it would be cool to say what you do to seperate you guys from the rest. I know you guys build with jdk8 instead of jdk7 for the lollipop builds and use Linaro with some optimization flags.
I'd like to know if you do more than that and also I am wondering how JDK8 especially helps with optimization.
If you need a tester for bacon. I'm here very big fan of 5.1.
Nice to hear the updates... waiting patiently...
Sounds like the beta will become a christmas present.

big fan/user of Exodus 5.1 on falcon. out of all the LP ROMs i've tried this has to be one of the most stable and lean ROMs out there. love the amount of essential customization catered here and skipping of cliche features that no one bothers to use (atleast me).
big thanks to @sachoosaini for introducing me to the ROM.
Well here it goes on
@PrimeDirective always a great human and great developer who supported Falcon despite the fact that i can never able to contribute the device to you. I find a best buddy out there who will always be my friend... Now @koshikas thanks Dave for supporting this phone, i never did anything for exodus.. But i am committed for future. If Dave continues the journey for exodus i will be with him in all way... Well what he told me around 6-7 months back is now coming to the real world. Now they support falcon or not. But I am honored by Dave for being there with all the silly questions people ask in community, falcon has great life indeed now its upto the team they develope for it not. I will donating device as soon as I am getting my salary which i am for sure going to get soon..... Wish Luck to exodus....6.0 is on the horizon
If you need a tester...
Hey, if you guys need an experienced tester for bacon, look no further. :good:

Hm, ok, might be, because english is not my mother language, but for me this sound like "too much drugs and not enough sleep"....
Oh, and by the way:
we just prepared the open source manifest so you can start contribute
I will write a short Facts thread for Exodus-6.0 so you know how to build, and what we changed regarding device-support...
Excelente
Looking real forward to Exodus MM!
sir I am with you here.

"err on the side of kindness"
Hi guys
Only to keep you informed: We started publishing official release builds for Exodus-6.0.
Look into your devide Android Developement sections for more information or on our g+ community: https://plus.google.com/communities/106801227383087889476
So as the title says.. Iam kinda wondering whats the best rom thats close to the Pure nexus rom? Since they stopped dev on the pure nexus.
I love this rom variant on my nexus 10. So want something similar on my OPO too with android 7.1.1
Are there even any around yet ?
Sorry if this have been asked many times before. just didnt find a good answer to be honest...
Hi! There's a Pure Nexus ROM for OPO, I've never tried it but that's the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-pure-nexus-oneplus-one-t3477772 ; If you want something very stock-like there are many AOSP based ROM in the Android Development section. I'm using Nitrogen OS right now and i can say it gas a good mixture of feature from different ROMs like DU. I hope that this has been something useful
EDIT: thread has been closed as you mentioned, but the ROM isn't good ad a daily driver as i read later... Sorry

well some answer and recommendation is better then none so really appresierte that.
ya noticed there are many. And feel its a little messy whats a full rom and whats not. my OPO got COS 13.1. and since they are no more is the reason i want to change.
Also i have been using the pure nexus rom on my nexus 10 witch is why i want something simelar on my OPO. it made my Nexus 10 fast and smoother agian.
In my opinion best Nougat ROM for OPO is Nitrogen OS: fast, stable, tons of personalizations, great battery life, Sultan's camera HAL (which is way better than CM ones IMHO), substratum, weekly updates.
I was on Pure Nexus and due to the dev blowing a fuse and closing his project after putting out a bug filled 7.1.1 build and blaming the users, i moved to Resurrection Remix, very stable, no bugs so far, i'm on the 20170104 build. BTW this is my MHO

Lol, he abandoned the project because he don't have bacon anymore. He just wanted to put out a final build, where's the problem? He can't test it and without logs he can't do ****...
He didnt blame the users...but only the morons who reports bugs...complains....ask to fix bug...but same.morons can't even provide a log
Just hope he'll bring CarbonROM for bacon
There's a thread for this here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/best-favorite-rom-kernel-roll-thread-t2886021
So I'll close this one. :good:
Hey Folks, it's Me again...
This Time am i looking around for some possible help with another Project i'm planning since some Years. The final Name of it will be A-OS-P (Another OS Project). Based on AOSP and aiming on a clean Pixel like Experience (Full set of Google Apps instead of delivering a OS with many AOSP Apps (Dialer, Camera, Browser etc.)). The Goal of the Project will be to give the optimal support for Snapdragons Devices (Specially Xperia Snapdragon Devices) just like CAF does. There are many Ideas and Experience with Android behind this Project, but i'm not very good in Linux Stuff. I just made a AOSP Build some Years back for My Xperia Z3 using the SONY Guides and Sources. But doing a own OS with own Sources and all that is another Level.
That's why i'm looking around for some Help. Guides alone are not helpful enough. I hope someone is willed to guide and teach Me in making a own OS and that we can create together a great Android Experience for our Devices! There are a lot of Plans, but first Things first. All i want for now is being able to compile a slim and of course booting Build based on AOSP for My Xperia XZ Premium to see how the basics are working. The next Step should be to make first Changes and to create a own Repo on a Git that other can contribute fixes or being able to create own Builds for more Devices. If that sounds realistic just talk to Me. I really appreciate any Help with that!
