aosp vs los

[piku 123]

AOSP ROMs are mostly bug free and better battery life.

i prefer aosp to get the pure "android" feels
los have lots of tweaks which in returns eat your batt juice slightly more than aosp backbone settings does
i may be wrong though
cheers

Ohh I'm sorry but maybe I misinterpreted it.Is "aosp vs los" even a question?

FWIW I found this thread pretty useful and informative.

This thread FTW,huh?

I like this thread since it appeared to me first when I ask that question on Google Search Engine. Even so I've not found an expert answer here... tsk tsk

The best summary I can give from my research so far is: LOS is a fork of AOSP, but with enough changes to make it significantly different. An example of this difference is root/superuser management works much differently in LOS from how it works in AOSP (this is why SuperSU doesn't play well with LOS, but works in AOSP ROMs.) As AOSP is updated, the LOS team takes what they deem necessary from it, make their alterations, and also add some of their own code to result in an OS that is hardware- and APK-compatible with AOSP, but differs otherwise. Hopefully this makes sense.

I was told in another thread that ambient display works better in AOSP based ROMs than in Lineage OS based ROMs

The perfect reply. Thanks.

I love lineage because features but i always had little problems with stability, battery... It would be a perfect rom if there were not problems. In the end, people must try for themselves. I know it is easier to ask and save time but, different devices, different people and experiences. At last i always end up in modified stock rom.

 

[Riizq]

Idk, I just go with the one which works better, and has good features.

Doesn't matter if it's aosp or los. If I see a ROM fulfilling my needs, I am flashing that one.

 

[1st.oneplus]

LOS all the way

I'm for LOS; more security features

 

[Cholerabob]

Thanks for this, always wondered what was the difference.

I can't say what the benefits are but I'm considering flashing it to my stock ASOP Nexus 6p because Google has stopped issuing major OS updates for that phone.

This means if I want Android P I have to find a third party ROM which will support it.

So I'm looking to LOS. I used to run NamelessROM on my former Oppo Find 7, but it looks like that ROM isn't updated anymore.

NamelessROM had features not included in ASOP, but was otherwise pure ASOP. It was fantastic.

Also clogging a thread with arguments that a thread is useless is horribly ironic. Please use PMs instead.

Why are you so overly concerned about his question or starting a new thread to ask his question?.......have you somehow been personally inconvenience??.....this keeping you up at night?.....or do you work for xda monitoring threads and questions and maybe take your job waaaaaaaay to far?

Being rude when you know you're the one wrong here is just not acceptable.

I have been using both AOSP and LOS for a long time now on my Moto G4 (athene), and from my personal experience I can tell that nowadays AOSP based roms do not lack features or customizations as there are plenty of AOSP based roms for athene that are actually more customizable than some LOS based roms. And honestly I can live without music visualizer on Navbar or Blurred background behind notification shade, but I can not compromise battery life and ui smoothness. For me AOSP is more battery-efficient and lag-free experience than LOS.

And also AOSP based roms do not come with built-in su binary which allows banking and payment apps to be registered on device. But again, to each his own preferences.

Oh and AOSP roms like OMNI are more frequent with security patch and updates as there are more nightly and weekly builds in AOSP roms than LOS roms as far as I have seen.

For me Los 15.1 has been absolute delight... Very smooth.

Even LOS has left it out precisely for this reason.

The LOS (once device is supported officially) also has a weekly release cycle with regular security patches integrated. Mine has July patch.
