Hey Guys,

The Deedster here... I know that those who've owned the Photon know me, others... I'm a nobody on the Epic Touch Forums, because I have no problems with this phone... and I used to be on xda 24/7...

anyways, enough chitter chatter that doesn't matter...

I'm sure that there are threads like this but I want different perspectives of the differences of the recent updates of CM9 & AOKP...

TIA!

Both are in their alpha stages, so of course be cautious when using them. I've been on CM Alpha 2 for 2 weeks now and it's been silky smooth with great battery life 15-17 hours.

Now I think I'm going to get a taste of AOKP and see what's all the hype about.

Personally, you can only try them yourself. Both are AOSP 4.0.4, and AOKP has more customization such as lockscreen, status bar, and nifty things. For everything else, you have to try it out yourself!

I've been using Nocturnal Venom AOKP for the past couple of days and today I tried AOKP Build 32. I love how much you can customize on it... especially with stuff like toggles, lock screen, battery bar, etc. Not really sure about CM9 because it was always "too risky" to try, but I think i'm sticking with AOKP-based ROMs.

Aokp 32 is flawless for me so far. There's only 2 bugs I've found.

SMS doesn't send when character limit is over 160 (even with split messages option turned on and gosms doesn't fix it.) And the signal bars don't accurately display my signal strength.

Everything else is working and battery is the best I've had on any rom.

I REALLY liked AOPK but I had issues with apps not saving to USB. Everything else worked great, has several more customization options than cm9. But so far cm9 has been very stable...both are still in alpha so you can play around with both and decide what you like best since app restore is simple on both.

Apps like n64oid are working fine with my USB storage. Which apps are you talking about?

i could be wrong but i think the op was looking for a sort of list of comparisons like what are the major differences and similarities. it would actually be a pretty nice list to see as im sure a lot of us have been wondering the same thing.

Archidroid was the first I found....then Philly.com...then several games....dunno why it happened but it did. Had the same result with the nocturnal venum ROM last night and TCP said it was an error he was working on. Think NV is based off AOKP so it had the same issue on both. TCP said it'd be fixed tonight so not a huge issue.

I get the MMS bug on AOKP too...

But anyone who has tried both, can you shed some light on the differences in features, battery life, which one you prefer, etc.?

Even though they are both considered "alpha" they both perform exceptionally well.

It burns when I Tapatalk...
