Root AOSP or CAF?

[Deleted User]

Can someone please explain to me, how i can try out the CM roms, as they are all "caf" and won't download like the aosp roms that i'm used to. Right now i'm running Resurrection Remix 5.1.1. I have twrp recovery, super user, but i don't use titanium backup. Thanks for any help.

CAF - custom aftermarket firmware, in this case, Code Aurora - kernel codebase maintained by Qualcomm, Snapdragon optimized, what you probably get with most ODM Androids.

AOSP - Android open source project, uses standard Linux kernel.

OP, are you downloading directly or using the download tool?

I'm not downloading a "caf" rom at all. The "caf" roms are mostly direct from Cyanogenmod. I'm using AICP 5.1.1 rom for my D850. It's the only rom i've used that doesn't break my wifi, and make me re-enter my password after the phone shuts off, or reboots. Just needed some info as to whether or not i should try downloading a "caf" rom. Thanks.
