Okay guys, just a quick question, how many of you went to these "atom" and/or "vanir" roms that have used AOSPA, I understand some people really need insane speed and battery for their devices etc but I just cannot see going to any rom that does not have the hybrid options that AOSPA has after using it. I sometimes have to tweak my mom's phone when I visit her because she is clueless and this is her first smartphone (I told her to get the Gnex lol) and it's downright ugly and low-res as well as wasting sooooooo much space. Big ugly navbar and statusbar, stock application resolutions with no option to modify them. I just don't see the point in using a rom that is pretty much stock with some features that have been around since gingerbread like battery percentage, centered statubar clock, cm/aokp toggles (which suck compared to 4.2.2 quicksettings), extra lockscreen shortcuts and all that. These are all things that really serve no purpose to improving functionality, screen real estate, performance or anything else.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you've seen one stock custom rom you've seen them all. Not much different between one to the other besides the fanbase. I won't lie, I am a PA fanboy, but I think I have pretty good reason, It is single handedly the only Rom of it's kind, there is not another rom on xda that has the same features as it. Any that try to integrate have to take PA's custom made code to add it and even then, paprefs are closed source so it will never be as good.

I just cannot see people that use CM, AOKP, Rasbeanjelly, Atom, Vanir, JB Sourcery etc being able to say that about their rom, if you put all of those roms up for comparison they will have predominantly the same features give or take a few cherry picks. The only thing that seperates them is battery life and speed, not original options and features that aren't found anywhere else.

Anyway, not bashing anyone, everyone should love what they love. I just posted this because all I seem to see on this thread lately is how everyone is comparing which of these couple roms are better when they are pretty much the exact same thing. The only thing that comes close to AOSPA in originality is Xylon and not many are even speaking of that anymore besides those that are using MBQ's custom unofficial Xylon(Great work you're doing for everyone man!)

You all know me, I speak my mind, I don't do it to offend, I think everyone on this thread is amazing!!! I just cannot wrap my head around debating a stock rom against another stock rom. :p

That's why i prefer to say flash one ROM use it. Nandroid. Flash another. Nandroid. Repeat however many times till you are satisfied with the one ROM that suits your needs the most. For me its Atom. Before that it was PA. Before that was BakedBean. And then FNV before BB. I preferred a ROM that a dev put true dedication to it and not just slap stuff together and throw it out for the sharks to eat. These ROMs have been crafted like a fine dark beer. That's how i choose carefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blackcrx:
Agreed. I flashed about 4-5 ROMs before deciding on atom... Possibly vanir tomorrow tho. Haha.

Haha. Good deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Okay, I get what you guys are saying about trying out different roms but what I was asking is why? The only thing you could possibly be looking for is a slight increase in battery or performance. They are all pretty much built with the exact same features and the exact same user interface. That is what I don't get. I get amazing battery life with AOSPA because the rom is quality built and because I use AK Kernels with it. Now if you take away the search for battery and speed/performance from your rom testing you are left with nothing to compare besides a few measily options that are slightly different between all these roms, there is nothing that stands out, nothing original that is not found anywhere else. All of these roms are built from stock source or kanged so any extra features were coded by someone else, I guess they could be compiled slightly cleaner but all in all there is nothing that makes one up against the other unique. I'm just really confused.

(Not meaning to disrespect any developers work, this is for the sake of argument, I respect all the hard work it takes anyone that goes about creating their own rom.)

Someone help me understand. Please, take away battery, speed and performance from the equation and then tell me the difference between these roms you are all comparing.

I'm not being a smarta*s, I'm actually quite curious. :D

I agree all ROMs are basically the same except pa because it has hybrid mode, there's nothing special about a particular rom over another as long as you use the right kernel you won't achieve much else except wasting your internal storage space.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Exactly, now you will even see other roms kanging from PA, like per-app-colors for instance. I really don't mean to bash any of the other big-wigs but CM and AOKP have nothing on the amount of originality and work the PA team has put into creating something genuinely unique but still built off of the purest AOSP code. And with a team of less than 10 people.

Re: [KERNEL] [TUNA] [3.0.68+][4.2.2] [CYLON v728 - PURITY v030**] [07/03] AK

If you take away speed, battery, and performance then you might as well be on a flip phone, Lol.

I don't know how to answer that question properly because all ROMs have something of the same and something that makes them different from the others. Even PA is built from CM base so it doesn't make it much different from CM and others except PAprefs, endless DPI settings, and first introduction of Pie.

Its like i said... a ROM has to be well crafted and not a bunch of crap slapped together. Not dissing Orca but that's just an overkill in my opinion.

I also rely on a ROM that is bug free or close to it. Has an experienced dev that can and does know how to correct a bug quickly. I don't think my boss would like calling a phone that doesn't work because there's a bug. He wouldnt understand why and could care less what im doing to my phone as long as he is able to communicate with me since I'm a field manager/crew chief.

I also rely on a ROM that has DPI. Atom has it. I cant stand the stock UI either. This allows to use more and see more on your screen in a faster manner than stock UI.

I was on PA for quite awhile. Basically i wish Atom and PA bred and produced something even greater with AK kernel as the godfather of that beast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blackcrx:
You are right for the most part. All ROMs are close to being the same if you take out speed, widgets, toggles, battery etc..

For me personally. I tried PA multiple times because everyone speaks so highly of it. A few of my personal friends are die hard PA fan boys too. But for me. Per app dpi and all those tablet, phablet modes are useless to me. For me I just used stock phone mode. With at said.. If you strip away per app dpi and all those fancy modes... It's just like any other ROM.

If it was up to me, I would choose slim for the features, toggles, widgets and vanir/atom for performance and battery. But since this isn't burger King and I can't have it my way. Atom ROM it is. Haha.

I'm the same as you. I could care less about all of that per app dpi, tablet phablet blah blah. I want speed, battery life, kernels that let me use trickster & a few toggle settings & my Nova Launcher.

Aside from that, I dont use much else. If a dev said there would be 10 rom control settings added tomorrow for ui I could care less.

If it said memory fixes, speed fixes, battery improvements, gen bug fixes, I would care.

My 2 cents :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Incorrect, PA has not been CM based since 2.54, it is pure AOSP, they built it from the ground up out of pure AOSP from 2.99 Beta 1 and up, every single addition is built from their own code off of pure google source. PIE is not kanged either, they built the code themselves and now LMT is kanging their pure custom code. As for the other roms having DPI options, that is all kanged from PA's idea, only it will never work as smooth because of paprefs being closed source. To each his own though, I know all of these devices seem to work slightly different than each other so what's super fast for one might be lagging for another, it all comes down to personal preference. I just wanted to get some viewpoints because I really just do not get it. :)

*and I didn't mean to take away speed, battery and performance for real, I was saying that if you take those out of the equation then all of the roms you guys speak of are pretty much exactly the same. ;)

Thanks for your perspective. This is what I was looking for, the viewpoints of why people prefer these things and why all the arguing about which is better when they are all the same for the most part. :)

Yeah me too, I don't get bootloop with this kernel but after flashing this one I can't get another one to install.

I think vanir is not my cup of tea.

I have toroplus so if i want atom ROM I think I'll have to build it myself. Laptop is useless right now though and it's all I've got at this time :(

Maybe I'll try to get it working, but the battery isn't holding a charge and I recently wiped it clean to get rid of a HDD issue. I've heard great things about atom ROM in here so it might be worth my time just to see it in action ;)

These navigation buttons on vanir are annoying me. It's a great ROM, nice and fast, transition animations seem to be faster then they need to be though.

Ak kernel uses xz compression in ramdisk just need to flash stock kernel before changing to another.

The beginning of PA was built off of CM's base. That's the info i was presenting. So yes its pure AOSP now but the whole project began on a different source which didn't really make it much different. Never said PA kanged Pie. I said PA first introduced it.

Re: [KERNEL] [TUNA] [3.0.68+][4.2.2] [CYLON v728 - PURITY v030**] [07/03] AK

What you just said here is why I'm back on PA again. I was getting bored and wanted to try something new, and I honestly was missing the 2g/3g toggle (small thing I know) so I tried Atom, Vanir, rasbeanjelly, AOKP again, Xylon, and CM10.1, and all I could think on each was how BIG everything is. With the hybrid engine on PA, I have yet to find a ROM to beat it IMHO. And honestly, PA does have times where it slows down a good bit or has brain farts, but I personally just can't see that outweighing the good parts of it. Tapatalk made me feel blind on any other ROM because of the size, but I don't like changing overall DPI because some apps need to be large. Bottom line for me, I guess I'm truly addicted to PA now.

Also, I mean no disrespect to the other ROMs or their developers, they're all great work. This is just my preference now. Of course, no matter what ROM you run, it isn't complete without an AK kernel. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
They left CM because of all the bloat, It made a big difference. The first AOSP 2.99 PA beta was 10 times faster and smoother than any of the CM based versions. I know you didn't say they kanged it. I was just pointing out that the PA team is one of the only developer groups that code their own options and additions on top of pure AOSP, all these other roms are just mash-ups of pieces of CM and AOKP with random kanged tweaks, options and settings. No big deal though, I understand. Everyone likes what they like. I know a lot of people don't get into PA, it's cool. You guys helped me with your answers.

Now one last question, why are so many insistant on flashing every new thing they see even if it's pretty much the same as all the others? After putting PA on my Droid Incredible 2 way back when I could not fathom crackflashing anymore, the most I do is update everytime there is a new nightly for AOSPA. I don't use anything but AK kernels either so if there is not a new one I am coo with what I have. Up until 4.2.2 was fully integrated into AOSPA I was actually sticking with Dummy vX01 for weeks after all you guys were already flashing stuff just to get AK's new kernels to work lol. I still have vX01 on my PC, won't ever be able to use it but it's one of the best kernels I have ever had on my device so it gets to stay as a trophy of awesomeness. ;)

Still love AK... but I think my lag could be caused by the latest AKs. Not just AOSPA, Vanir is also lagging quite heavily. Vanir is more smooth in general than AOSPA, but when it lags it's the same. I'm currently on Cylon 728 with multi core power saving thing off. I'll give Purity 30 a try, then maybe Franco or stock for a brief period of time.

Not "hands down", but Atom also wins it for me. The differences are minimal.

I did try AOSPA and I didn't use their classic features. Atom comes with Pie and I don't use it because I didn't like it on AOSPA. Just some food for your curiosity. ;)

As for Vanir, its an OK ROM, but like neph said, I can't live without AOSPA's innovation anymore. The cherry picks don't even come close to PA quality, to me the only other one I've used that feels as good as AOSPA is good old CM. I'll consider switching back if flashing an older kernel works.

Regarding the PA/Vanir/Atom/etc discussion: I'm on Vanir because it's the fastest Rom on my phone that gives me everything I need. That's all.

Per app dpi from pa is excellent, but not necessary for me. In Vanir I can set phone's overall dpi, which I have at 240. I use extended desktop with pie. No wasted screen real estate here. Stock dpi looks terrible to me too.

Everyone has different goals. I experimented until I found the Rom that comes closest to meeting mine. I think that's what everyone's doing here.
