[Q] CAF vs AOSP

bump

CAF=cyanogen 11 based roms, not all kernels work unless they state CM support in the OP which isnt many nowadays.
AOSP=the majority of roms in the original development section, also you will have a larger choice of kernels to play with.

its your choice some people have always loved CM i personally love AOSP but i have used CM in the past but with the N5 the majority of kernel development is with AOSP.

I think you could look into using multirom and test AOSP and CM at the same time but be aware of kernels not supporting CM just read the OP carefully to avoid problems.

i dont know if this helps, if not ill get my coat...

Noob question: Isn't cyanogen based off of AOSP anyway since they're both android?

" So what is the difference between Android and CyanogenMod?

About 1-2 times a year, the vanilla Android operating system (known as AOSP, or the Android Open Source Project) is internally developed, then released to the public, by Google. They provide the source code to anyone who wants to download it. The CyanogenMod community, comprised of unpaid volunteers and enthusiasts from around the world, takes this newest Android code and "ports" it to dozens of new and older (aka "legacy") devices. At the same time, other CyanogenMod developers start adding features, fixes, and improvements that Google didn't include to the CyanogenMod code, which benefits all the devices. The CyanogenMod community has a whole infrastructure for people to build and test experimental versions, report bugs, and contribute back to the source code.

Sometimes features that started in CyanogenMod have appeared in newer version of "official" Android. And every time Android does a new "code dump" of their latest version, CyanogenMod benefits from Google's changes.

In this way, CyanogenMod is one (but not the only) community distribution of what started as vanilla AOSP. The Android community is vibrant, with numerous "modders" and "themers" and "performance enhancers" taking the source code and doing incredible things to it. Generally, there is a spirit of sharing knowledge and empowering people to experiment with controlling their devices, often giving old phones new life, and hopefully having fun in the process. "
