I am wondering about the difference between an original development ROM vs. A stock ROM variant on a nexus device.
To explain... My last device was an HTC one. There modified stock ROMs. And then there were the aosp or rather original development ROMs. It was quite easy to differentiate. Drivers etc as well as software was very proprietary in nature vs. a stock ROM. Even the GPE ROMs were stock variants.
The question I have is....what is the difference on a nexus? Is the software similar in nature but drivers different? I likely am doing poor job explaining it...or using the incorrect terminology. But I hope I have expressed it adequately.
Not that NY of this will likely stop me from flashing a custom ROM or 10... I just was curious. That was all.
