is there one?
i just know cyanogen and i heard about "blacky´s rom" but could not find it via google.
thx vm

You won't get an answer here.
You really should just Google it.
There is no list. There is no one collection of these MODS.
I don't know if you are referring to MODS, as those coders/hackers that MODify Android, or if you are looking for MODifications to android.
Either way, you are asking for one helluva long ass list if you think one exists.
There are literally thousands of MODifications you can do to an android device.
There literally hundreds of android MODifiers/coders/hackers/developers, etc.
yes indeed,
i ment MODifications of android. but not just modifications but roms.
i just wrote 'mods' because cyanogen call their product 'mod'.
and i did google it. especially 'blacky', about which i heard some time ago.
but i could not find anything. when i google 'android mod' 90% of the results
are about cyanogenmod. the rest is something totally different.
and i think if you would take just the notable (means with a certain amount
of developer activity) roms/mods, the list would not be too long.
but anyway, thanx. i will bite my way through.
have a nice one

Suggestion. Put rom manager on your phone and play

Compile a list yourself and post it?
It is clear that custom roms are new to you. I only recently flashed my first custom rom but I think I can be more helpful than some people are choosing to be.
I wouldnt get a rom from google. You dont really know its source and often have no one to contact about issues/suggestions. I think the safest option if to go to the subforum on this site that is specific for your phone. Then click on Android Development Forum. In there you will probably have threads for all the major roms such as CyanogenMod, Revolution, LeeDroid, CoreDroid. These are all being constantly improved and you can also report bugs to help future development. Best advantage is they usually have specific instructions for that rom.
Good luck!
If a ROM is based on CM12, ITS STILL CM12! The ROM may have features NOT included in stock CM12, BUT IT'S STILL CM12. (Euphoria, Temasek, Blisspop, etc)
If a ROM is based on AOSP, ITS STILL AOSP! The ROM may come with features not avaliable in stock AOSP , BUT ITS STILL BUTT-NAKED AOSP! (SlimSaber, Paranoid Android, XenonHD, etc)
The two things separating MOST ROMs (Performance wise) are the kernel, optimizations, and the toolchain the ROM is made/built with (Stock GCC/Linaro/Sabermod).
IMO: SABERMOD ROMS > LINARO ROMS> STOCK GCC ROMS
So to sum it all up, you guys are downloading the same based ROMs over & over. Its a placebo if you think one cm12 is far superior than another cm12 ROM. They're BOTH cm12 and are both good..
The KERNEL you decide to use will normally have the greatest impact on performance (STOCK, AK,TGM, TYR, FRANCO, ETC)
Please correct me if I'm incorrect. Thanks.

What's your current rom & kernel?
A certain ROM can be faster than the other. Some have more optimisations for the specific device, so i dont really know what your point is. Some roms also have more features than the other, sometimes with a negative effect on the performance (think about dynamic status bars build in).
If all the roms are the same, why do you prefer sabermod over the other compilers?

We're talking specifically oneplus one roms. Device doesn't matter.
As for sabermod being superior, its subjective. I do recommend you download a kernel such as TGM, or TYR who offer both LINARO & SABERMOD versions and see which is faster/optimal. For me it has been Sabermod. Much snappier.

What you're failing to realise here is that even though a great deal of ROMs are based on CM, many actually contain unique code and extra features, which can both have a positive or negative effect on performance, smoothness, battery life, and other aspects. If they didn't contain unique code they'd be seen as kangs and removed immediately. You're essentially saying that all ROMs are the same, and that only a different kernel can differentiate them. This is not only wildly inaccurate, it shows a gross lack of understanding about what actually goes into creating a ROM, and it's highly offensive to the developers who spend their spare time providing people like you with these ROMs completely free of charge.

That is very true. I do have a lack of understanding like most people who aren't developers.
However, I have searched & found no where on this forum a that explains what separates one CM12 rom from another CM12 rom besides the cherry picks, toolchain, and kernels.
That was my entire bases of creating this thread. To gain enlightenment and resolve confusion that myself and others may have.

It doesn't seem like that at all though. The way you've worded your OP is a statement, like you've made some grand discovery. Rather than asking the question "how are all these ROMs different?", you're proclaiming "these ROMs are all exactly the same". It just isn't true.
I'm not going to go into the details, because honestly, I'm just not that articulate, I'd make a mess of it. But why not invite some of the devs of the ROMs you're talking about into this thread by tagging them? They would no doubt be able to explain exactly where your logic is incorrect, if they can be bothered of course.

If developers feel like chiming in, they can. Most won't.
And we already know that all of these roms are NOT the same. Kanging is not allowed on XDA.
Please dont put words in my mouth. No where in my post or title does it state that all of these roms are the same.

No you don't say those exact words, but that is what it looks like your post is implying. If that isn't the case then you might need to clear up your OP a bit. Your last sentence says to correct you if you're wrong, that's exactly what I'm doing, the kernel and toolchain aren't the only things that separate these ROMs, not by a long shot.

His summary of your words is fair enough and seems to capture the spirit of the point you were trying to make in the OP.
Honestly, I see a kernel of truth in the OP, no pun intended. There are lots of noobs around here trashing CyanogenMod for not squashing their pet bugs or fixing their favorite feature in a timely enough fashion. They usually post some garbage accusing CyanogenMod of delinquency or poor quality, then say something like, "This is a deal breaker for me. CyanogenMod is a bunch of jerks. I'm flashing back to xxx ROM," which is based on .... You guessed it: CyanogenMod! Then after a couple days, they're right back in the CyanogenMod nightly thread.
It's no wonder why devs don't post much in General. What profit would there be in it for them other than to be trashed by a bunch of thankless noobs over nothing?
This is isn't entirely true, as @timmaaa already pointed out. The ROMs which are AOSP like Slim, Euphoria get their code from CAF-AOSP. While the CM ROMs like temasek, Validus use the actual CM code, which itself is actually modified CAF-AOSP. Note that whatever I wrote is just for OPO as there isn't any TRUE or NATIVE AOSP Code for our device like there is for Nexus ones etc.
Also, Omni is very well Pure AOSP as those guys write their own open source versions of various hardware drivers etc and thus don't need the CAF variants

Yes, you kind of get of what i'm trying to say.
People flash rom xyz, get tired of it and flash rom "abc". Not knowing that rom "abc" is based off of xyz. You still have the same bugs, and same or only a negligible difference in performance.
That's what I meant by and AOSP is still an AOSP rom. Cm12 is still a Cm12 rom.

:good: Thanks for the enlightenment.
I never knew CAF-AOSP was Cyanogenmod. I thought is was just a slighty modded version over AOSP unrelated to CM.
I've also heard that OmniRom for our device is CAF-AOSP.

Yep, But Omni gets it quite differently. They make many of own their stuff and always keep as close to AOSP as possible

I didn't see a thread about this yet, so I hope it's alright to ask.
Getting my 6p tomorrow, (Knock on wood) Was wondering what Roms everyone is running, and what you've noted about them. Fastest ones, Longest Lasting ones, Smoothest ones, most stable ones, most features, or perhaps a best mix of things you like. Obviously we are all different, but I like to hear what others say and it helps me narrow it down and avoid spending 2 weeks trying one random rom after another.
Just want to see some community feedback
There's already a thread on this in the General forum...

Ah, I did not look there as it's be said over and over to not asking questions there haha.
I would like to flash a ROM any suggestions and good guides I should use?
best is too much to ask. there are none that are better than any other....
it is 110% user preference, so read thru the threads... figure out what features you want and then compare what is "best" foe you
I agree with the above post its mainly user preference as to which one you should pick as different ROMs have different features. I would also suggest checking out the PH1 Telegram group as well since you will find not only help with flashing and other problems you may encounter. You will also find other things which you may like including some ROMs not posted on xda. The link for it if your interested is https://t.me/EssentialPH1DEV
