What is Code Aurora Forums ?
Code Aurora Forum (CAF) is a consortium of companies with projects serving the mobile wireless industry. Software projects it concerns itself with are e.g. Android for MSM, Femto Linux Project, LLVM, MSM WLAN and Linux-MSM. Code Aurora is basically AOSP plus all Qualcomm specific enhancements and optimization.​

What is AOSP-CAF ?
AOSP-CAF is based on CAF with few LAOS patches & HAL to help us build the ROM using LAOS device sources,
stored on https://github.com/AOSP-CAF/.
I added some customisations to the sources & is stored here https://bitbucket.org/cafnougat/. Here is the manifest in case you want to build for other device(s).

Q&A - FAQ
Can I flash a custom kernel?
Not recommended, you can try but then don't report possible kernel issues here.

Is rom prerooted?
No, Flash from here. I recommend using Magisk since OMS did not work with SuperSU for me.
Yes in built magisk addon.

Can you add blah blah app or blah blah feature to the rom?
I plan to add basic customisation & Night Display. That's it
Added

When will you update the rom?
No ETA's.
Final Build uploaded.

Is the ROM suited for daily usage ?
In my opinion, Yes.

just installed. Very very smooth. All sensors are working. But there are 2 flaws ; No lifedisplay feature and snapdragon camera is awful, when I tap a dark area on the screen (when capturing photo), it doesnot get bright as it should.

I tried this rom. I tried with some basic things. Not in depth testing.

So basically this rom is for those people who want a pure aosp experience. Everything is very basic. No extra features added.

Camera is OK. Sometimes after taking hdr shots it gets hang. So back button also don't work. Just press home button. Open camera again. It will work again. So overall camera is little bit unstable for me. I hope somebody will work on camera HAL for stability.

In button settings only long press and double tap action can be customisable. Single tap action can't be changed.

As kernel used is lzer so I am pretty sure battery life will be good.

AOSP CAF organisation dev has not updated the repos since ~2 months.
So I've spent last 2 days updating it to the latest CAF branches myself whilst also adding more OMS patches.. its not that complex of a task but is time taking,
Everything's working well & ROM seems to be very stable.

Great work...! :)
Can we have camera quality improvements. I believe our camera is much more capable. MIUI camera takes awesome shots especially closeup shots. Saturation, sharpness is really good. Now I am using this mi3 almost two n half years. I have tried almost all custom roms. Developers always tried to improve stability. But somewhere we have ignored camera. I have seen sone awesome camera mods of one plus cameras. Can't we have such mods?? Or its just not possible with current source code??

Can you at least add night display? Because it will be good for our eyes.
Thanks
