Xposed, GB, CM... What's the difference? - Moto X Q&A

Hi,
Could someone please explain the difference between stock, Xposed, GB, CM, or other? I've built pc's and servers but this would be the first time I attempt to fool around with an Android.
Thanks!

I'll try to keep it simple with this.
1) Stock :- The ROM and Kernel you get from the factory along with your phone.
2) Xposed :- Refers to a set of modules that can be added to the existing ROM to change appearance, add functionality and provide you with features that would otherwise not be available in your 'Stock' ROM option. - Xposed requires you to have root privileges on your phone (i.e super user or admin rights)
3) GB : Gingerbread ??
4) CM : Cyanogen Mod : Refers to the most wide spread ROMs available for android. It offers most features of Stock ROMs coupled with things like a theme engine, dedicated music controls etc.
Head over to the forum rules for a quick look and also see the WIki page for more info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=613 .
Have fun messing around :good:

GB
Thank you!

RESPECT the devs and their work

Tired of updating your mod for every new ROM release?
You want give users the possibility to combine different mods without creating tons of different files for all possible combinations?
Then have a look at my Xposed framework - modifications without APK changes!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are a lot of excellent modules which realize much more settings and options than some custom ROMs.
So my question is: many of Xposed users have signature with Device & ROM information, including name, version, build, etc... even color and SD card size and vendor. But nobody write information about special Xposed mod usage. Why?
Remember that devs do and share all their hard work for free and against other things in their personal life, so... RESPECT please the devs and their work at least with information in your signatures!
Why are you quoting my signature for this???

[MOD] MultiROM (sharing kernel)

I found the bug with not isolating kernel in additional roms after posting multirom here. Unfortunately I havent solved it yet. I decided to not delele this project because the rest of this works. This is useful who want to have similar rom in on tab. For example to test apps. Sorry for inconvience.
this is beta release. for p900 only.
I'll write full instruction later. For full description see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
I'm not sure that everything is stable, so I dont publish source code. I dont want to distribute buggy sources. thanks for understanding.
for stock firmware only. for now. use stock frimware as primary. you can flash cm as additional.
Installation:
1. https://yadi.sk/d/RVXpEgc6c4GKo - this is modded recovery. flash via odin
2. https://yadi.sk/d/CHl8wTYYc4GMZ - patched kernel. (patched my 1.3 pro kernel)
https://yadi.sk/d/D2riVhEgc4GPP - multirom main program
flash through modded recovery patched kernel and multirom.
uninstallation:
https://yadi.sk/d/jc4uxZeCc4GRb - flash this uninstaller through recovery, then flash original twrp
known issues:
- 1920x1200 resolution in twrp
- in List Roms installed roms dont shown
- in multirom boot menu touchscreen downt work. use buttons (vol-,vol+,power)
multirom apk from play store doesnt support this release.

@bonuzzz,
nice to see you here. Actually I bought this high end class tablet because of its specifations and over standarts. Still is the most powerful tablet in market.. But somehow it always lacked development and support of developers. Recently maybe the price is dropped so it started make owners smile little bit.
I was almost giong to change it, but still there is no powerful alternate..
I would like to be a tester of multiboot. because I would love to see ubuntu desktop in this tablet.
Thank you!

Do you mean the first (pre multirom install ) flashed rom kernal is the only kernal that boots regardless of the chosen rom, is multirom a separate bootloder that is chainloaded by the original bootloader? Does multirom have a config file describing the various kernals with different filenames if so can it be manually edited? Does multirom mount emulated system partition images or are their actual multiple prexisting system partions in the mbr that multirom can choose from ? What would quilify as similar roms, stock and omni are they similar enouph ?

I dont recommend to use this multirom because it has the bug with sharing kernel. So you need to use similar roms as primary and as additional. I dont have an idea how to solve it at this moment.

Differences between CM 12.1 and SlimLP

Are there any major differences between these two firmwares respecitvely are there any specific strengths or weaknesses?

I think it is personal preference tbh, however I prefer SlimLP since I have messed around with custom ROMs for a while and currently run SlimLP on my phone as well. Also I like the customization that comes with SlimLP more than the plainness of ordinary CM.
The SlimLP rom developers don't recommend using xposed due to some ART optimizations. If anyone really wants xposed someone did suggest trying wanams modified xposed version.

I have been considering switching from cm 12.1 to slim lp on my fire. When you say additional customization what does that elude to? Theming and visual, or performance customization?

I've got xposed on the cm 12.1 rom. Haven't tried yet on SlimLP though.
If you do try it on SlimLP go for wanams xposed. And of course let us know if it you get any problems.

I successfully flashed v2.1 of SlimLP, and then I tried v75 and v78 of wanams xposed (preceded with the mandatory installation apk). Both versions led to bootloop; I was able to remove the bootloop by using the uninstallation apk.
Since I want/needed xprivacy I switched to CM12.1 but gapps has stopped working. When there's a new version of SlimLP I might try again.
EDIT: I fixed the gapps in CM12.1 (12/04 built) by (1) doing a factory reset and (2) uninstalling the Playpermissionfix module in xposed. In retrospect I probably could skip (1) and do (2) only. Play store is still slightly wonky but it mostly works, and youtube definitely works 100%.
Damn, it's really a pain that SlimLP doesn't support xposed. I want xprivacy as well.
I just had to uninstall SlimLP and go to CM12.1 because of no support for Xposed from the developers. It's upsetting that with their (or ezio's) modifications that they should want to control something so big rather than let us decide for ourselves.
Because any reasoning such as "it's too big of a security risk" is absolutely ridiculous as it's our choice rather to expose ourselves and at the same time, most people installing modules and Xposed Framework at this point should know what we are installing to by now.

The decision to decide for yourself is always in your hands. It is their rom to develop it how they want. If you do not like it, don't use it (as you have indiciated), but don't throw blame on a dev for not including support for something.

[ROM][AOSP][4.4/6.0/7.1] Unlegacy Android Project

The Unlegacy-Android Project​Introduction
Unlegacy-Android started out as the OMAP4-AOSP Project. It was created in late 2015 in order to maintain a clean and organized place for pure AOSP support for various OMAP4 devices, such as the Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 series. Over time this evolved to support more than just these devices, but still maintains its roots of supporting "legacy" devices that no longer receive "official" updates: hence Unlegacy-Android was born.
Installation
It's important that /system needs to be unmounted before installing the ROM - some recoveries tend to leave it mounted after performing operations on it.
If you're planning to install GApps, be sure to read the second post!
Aside from these, installation and upgrading is no different than on other ROMs. As usual, 'espresso' goes for all non-3g versions, 'espresso3g' goes for all 3g versions.
Problems
- Occasional sound stuttering in some games
- No hwrotation (meaning the boot animation is landscape on p31xx). I don't consider this as a problem, as autorotation will take effect after bootup anyways... and most 7" tablets, like the Nexus 7 work this way as well.
- The 7.1 builds are experimental! Means: modem not working perfectly yet.
If you notice anything else, be sure to report it in this thread. While I'm kind of busy, I usually read the thread and acknowledge the bug reports, even if I don't reply directly to them.
Downloads
See: http://builds.unlegacy-android.org
Always use the latest TWRP, to flash Android 7.x, you must use TWRP 3.0.3-0 or newer.
Features?
There isn't much to say here - this is AOSP, if you install GApps, you pretty much get the same thing that's running on the Nexus devices. The aim of this project is to create a fast and stable ROM - although, one could use Xposed to add extra features.
As usual, feedback is appreciated
Want to support development? You can consider donating, I spent countless of hours with this

Unlegacy Android Project, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
Contributors
Ziyan, Android-Andi
Source Code: https://github.com/Unlegacy-Android
ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat
ROM Firmware Required: The latest bootloader for your device.
Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Stable Version: 4.4, 6.0
Created 2016-07-03
Last Updated 2017-10-22
GApps
If you want to install GApps, we recommend Open GApps Nano or BaNkS GApps.
An important note: as this is a pure AOSP ROM, installing GApps tends to be problematic: in order to try to avoid installation issues, be sure to install GApps immediately after installing the ROM, before booting the system for the first time. After the initial bootup finished, be sure to go into Settings -> Apps, and grant every permission to every Google application - most importantly, Google Play services.
In the case of an upgrade, be sure to re-install the GApps package, as upgrading wipes /system. You shouldn't need to re-set the permissions afterwards.

Thank you for everything , dear friend ! And for the support of the old device , and what you are doing and Andi for us ordinary users .
I understand correctly , that support will only 6.0.1 Android N and we do not see , because the device and its old base ?

Before every new Android release, we devs get all sorts of questions like this. I'd like to say it once and for all: there's no such thing as 'we do not see' the next versions and whatnot. People are being negative for some reason, but we always try and succeed in the end... I'm sure that if you start reading past posts, you'll find a lot of people saying that we1l never see Lollipop or Marshmallow due to the device being too old, lol.

Oh don't worry, I'm working extremely hard in the background almost since like a year... I know a lot about these devices (bought a P5100 specifically for testing 3G on the builds and kernels)
Feature list: well, this is AOSP, and I'd like to keep it this way. Imagine this like the stock ROM on the Nexus devices (with GApps flashed, of course).
Changelog: don't expect anything other than AOSP updates and hardware related fixes and updates - of course, I'm going to write a post each time I release an update, just like I do in the Galaxy Nexus thread however, it's unlikely that I'll add a changelog to the OP (I just don't see the usefulness in it).
Screenshots: will do, but then again, don't expect anything special. Stable and fast pure Android, that is AOSP. As a side note, it's Xposed compatible
I hope everybody likes the new shiny unified forum section! There's still a bit of a work left to do, but I think it looks great and eases maintaining the threads; blame me if you think otherwise :silly:
Thak you for your effort to keep tab 2 alive . Amazing work. Are RRO Layers compatible with this rom?

Hi Ziyan,
I'm glad you mentioned this, as I thought that I was going insane this morning (or just slightly more insane than usual).
Just browsing the new "Unified" forum (to verify my subscriptions) and noticed that the "Dhollmen" threads could be clarified (just like the "Linaro" threads), for example ...
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176563 could be titled: [KERNEL][P51xx][AOSP] Dhollmen Espresso
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183830 could be titled: [KERNEL][P31xx][AOSP] Dhollmen Espresso
Just to avoid confusion (I freely admit that I am easily confused).

Hi Andi,
I only suggested renaming the existing "pair" of threads (they both exist in the Unified Forum) ... Just like the "pair" of Linaro threads (that also both exist in the Unified forum).
The download links in (all four) of the threads (mentioned above) link to unique builds on AFH (for both P31xx and P51xx devices) in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified
@Ziyan, while we're on the subject, the CandySix for P51XX thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/10-inch-development/rom-candysix-v1-1-t3331598 should also be moved to the new Unified forum as well (the CandySix for P31xx thread has already been moved).
Sorry for all the edits (I put the blame on OCD).
Thanks.

Done; I guess this is it then. Like the XDA forum admin said, the best way to handle moving both threads is to move them both to this unified section, and close one of them (preferably the one with the less posts). While we could merge them into one thread, the posts would get all mixed through the other threads posts (because of the date order) and we would lose any sense of a flow in the conversation...
Minimum Custom Recovery version?
@Ziyan @Android-Andi Thanks for bringing new life to this old tabs
Is there any minimum requirement for recovery for flashing this ROM? I'm running pretty old CWM v.6.0.5.1. Is it sufficient?

LineageOS 14.1 Berni's alternative builds

Hi all:
This is a thread for my alternative LineageOS 14.1 roms for suzuran.
I'm building these roms from time to time for my own needs and I think other people should participate.
Since the "official" development of LineageOS 14.1 has been stopped, I decided to build a new version only if the Android security patch level has been changed or I've changed anything.
Download 2021-07-19
This is a 7z archive with the zip'ed rom and the md5 file in it. Please unpack this archive, copy the included two files somewhere to your device, reboot into TWRP and flash this zip file. Enable zip verification and md5sum checking. Maybe you have to rename the md5 file to *.md5sum; depending on the TWRP version you are using.

Features:
OS Version: 7.1.2 Nougat
Kernel: Linux 3.10
New: Android security patch level: 5 June 2021
Using sony blob's from stock version 32.4.A.1.54
Important informations:
You should be familiar with general installation of custom roms.
Required for installation: TWRP 3.1.1 (or newer).
OR use my self built TWRP-version 3.5.2!
No need for making a clean install, but sometimes it helps a lot!
This rom is pre-rooted. For those who want to use magisk or any other rooting tool, you can easily remove this by flashing this file.
Use this rom at your own risk! It comes without any warranty! I'm not responsible for any damage! If you don't agree with that, don't try to flash this rom in any way.
Differences between my version and the "official" one:
Kcal Display Driver - Thanks to @GreyLeshy and @Sony user 16
Voltage Control - Thanks to @GreyLeshy and @Sony user 16
OMS-Support - Thanks to @nathanchance
Added F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.
I've included some little extensions like changelog and volume adjustment.
I've set maximum speaker volume to a higher value.
I've increased microphone gain.
I've increased all volume steps from 7 to 15.
I've changed the microfone gain to avoid echo in phone calls.
I've enabled data for MMS.
I've enabled MHL.
Not working:
VoLTE, VoWiFi
If you want to use encryption, you have to disable SIM PIN first!
One (last) request: Please don't ask for including any app. I won't do this, because I want to keep this rom as clean as possible.
Changelog
Troubleshooting:
If you're running into an error, please search in this thread if this error is already posted, before you post it again!
If not, I need a LOG to see what went wrong. Without a LOG I can't help you!
A LOG can be fetched by connecting the device with an USB cable to your PC and then by typing these commands line by line:
Code:
adb root
adb shell logcat -b all -d > logcat
Send my this LOG file via PM.
If you think this could be a SELinux related issue, please try to set the device to permissive mode first.
If the issue is gone, I need the policy file too (plus LOG). Fetch it by typing this line in a terminal:
Code:
adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy
If you stuck in a bootloop you can fetch a LOG with this trick:
Press the power button and the volume up button together until the device shuts down.
HOLD the power button.
Release the volume up button and press the volume down button immediately after releasing the volmue up button.
The device should start into TWRP recovery.
Tap on "Advanced", then on "Terminal" and enter these commands line by line:
Code:
cd sys/fs/pstore
cp * /sdcard
Send me the copied file(s), if any, via PM.
Nice

I am thinking about official vs rom, I think the two roms are probably nearly identical. Probably the most important factor will be the frequency of updates.

I don't see a reason to bake something into the ROM when there are many apps that can do it.
I think something like Xposed-type tweaks being put into settings would be more appropriate. Alleviating the need for xposed. But I don't think it makes sense to load random apps into the ROM.
New version; please have a look at the first post

Awesome work, thank you so much! Flashing it now.
Just 1 question - do you know if encryption works on your builds?
I've never tried it. I've not so good experience with encryption on a stock rom; so I've decided not to use this feature at all!
Hi Bernhard.
Thanks for your hard work!
i have a question for you.... As i understand it you take all the changes/updates from the offifcial lienage and implement them into your own build. And add the changes as described in post 1.
Am i right about this?
I think that battery life is bad on the official compaired to the version you do.
Do you add battery improvements in your build?
Thanks in advance.

Oh, it is not so hard to do this, but, thank you! Sometimes I have to search a few hours or try (and revert) something, but in the end I've gotten everything to work as I like it to work.

I'm using the LineageOS repositories from github as they are, that's right. I don't use my own repo's; nzzane is doing this AFAIK (Klick). A few weeks ago I'm using other repo's, because LineageOS had bad (will say: not working) sources for our devices.

Yes! :good: One or two of my changes should be implemented into the "official" builds, but until now I don't understand how to use "commitments". Maybe in a few days... :angel:

No. Nothing like this.
On my own device battery life is about three days...

Like other persons, I don't want to have a lot of applications include in the rom. I want to choose the ones I use. This is one reason that made me come to alternative rom.
Another reason is that Lineage use less google s"hit" than stock rom.
So if you have the vision of more app and google stuff include, you better stay on stock. Alternative Roms offers me more freedom; but that's just my opinion...
This is prerooted? There are some of us out there that need to install certain apps before rooting.

Huge thank you for keeping this device alive Berni!
