Root [CDMA] Tiamat Kernel

Hmm ok, I was under the impression that AOSP was the android base, bare-bones stock andriod, and every rom was based on that to some degree, with varying degrees of tweaks and such

So I just wasn't sure if CM7 was "close" enough to pure AOSP to run it.

Thanks for the info. Quick question, so you're saying Sense isn't built around AOSP?

Looking forward to trying this out :)

I am running EvoNonSense ROM.
I just flashed v1.0.1 of Tiamat.


Let's make it more interesting... I thought I'd flash Remix kernel instead, now my E3D is stuck in reboot cycle. Starts up, brings up HTC white screen, then blinks off. Starts up, brings up HTC white screen, then blinks off. Starts up ... etc, etc.

Yikes.

That is not an AOSP ROM, it is a sense stripped rom, there is a difference. You need to reflash that rom over what you have wiping cache and dalvik. If it doesn't say aosp in the title it is a sense stripped rom not aosp.

Oh ok so my basic understanding was correct?

All roms are built around AOSP, but anything that doesn't specifically say AOSP is probably different enough that an AOSP kernel won't work (is what I'm understanding)

I wasn't sure where CM7 fell on the scale, but now that I know it works I'm gonna try it out tonight

AOSP---CM7----------------------------------------Sense

It's a lot like that.
