More questions I forgot out there
When you flash a rom is the same wipe cache then dalvik then data.
Do people still tweak the cpu still to see how fast it can go? Trying to shoot for 1.7 ghz

More questions I forgot out there
When you flash a rom is the same wipe cache then dalvik then data.--Basically yes, but each rom op will have instructions for flashing
Do people still tweak the cpu still to see how fast it can go?--oh my yes Trying to shoot for 1.7 ghz--go for it, just don't check the "set at boot" box

Click on "Show" for the AOSP explanation...this is quoted from Ocnbrze in this thread, post 2:

Keep in mind that this quote is from the Evo4g forum but basically explains what AOSP is

Spoiler

When Google releases the new android os, they will also release the source code. The devs will then use the code to create their own roms. These roms are called AOSP which stands for Android Open Source Project. It is pure android. Manufacturers will eventually release their own version of the latest android os, but they will add their own spin to it to differentiate them from other handsets. Htc for example adds HTC Sense to their phones. Because AOSP roms do not have Sense cooked in, they are thus smaller and sometimes faster then stock.

Now for a little history lesson. When Google first started out releasing source, devs immediately started working on roms. One of the very first teams to do this was Cyanogen Mod (CM). As the roms that the CM team were putting out were becoming very popular Google quickly took notice. They immediately sent the CM team a cease and desist letter. Basically Google's beef was that the CM team were including Google's proprietary apps cooked into their roms. Both sides eventually came to an understanding in that the CM team could continue making roms but to have Google's apps as a flashable .zip file to be flashed separately from thier roms. And thus gapps was born.

You will continue to see gapps being flashed separately from their roms until the end of time. They do not want to chance it with Google. Now the dev community is pretty close and usually do not mind sharing code for their roms provided the appropriate credit is given. Thus there are many roms that have come out that uses CM's roms as a base. Sometimes these roms may or may not have gapps included. Some might have it already cooked in so you do not have to flash gapps. Main thing is to read the op and follow directions. It will usually say if you have to flash gapps or not.

CM 10.1 I don't think is a final build. I really don't know as I don't run it or keep up with the CM series, sorry
