Screw it we just need to all go vanilla, too much fragmentation. Let's face it if we actually got timely updates that dont kill the phone. We could do ios so.e serious damage. We need to use Google docs as a cloud back up like apple dose with i cloud. If we had more developer priority and something they could all use universally I think we would really move forward. I get proprietary skins and why you would want to keep it that way. But when you hurt the consumer move from one to the other and make unfofilled promises. You put a bad taste in our mouths. So wake up owns need to get the messege.
And Google as well we want it seamless we don't want to ha w to worry about it all. But I'm sure apple has some rediculus pattent out there smh.united we stand to the rotting apple decided we take a bite and get sick.

Actually I've seen people say that on this forum a number of times.One thing you will NEVER see on this forum is for an Android or an Apple user say: "you know what? You're right. Your phone is better. I'm selling this junk phone and getting your phone tomorrow!" I still say a Silverado is better. Sell that Ford tomorrow.

Or an iPhone.
I don't want a barebones phone and that is what vanilla android is. I like a good solid starting point.

I hardly think aosp is barebones. I feel its a simpler setup but I don't think base for base it's missing much of anything as compared to other skins. Tw from my experience on the skyrocket which has had a 4.1.2 leaked firmware has no real advancing features that put it anywhere ahead of 4.1.2 aosp. I feel tw is overly busy with large icons and far too many toggles buttons and notifications that show up regardless of whether you want a clean and simple ui or not. Sense is better but still not great. As for features what does aosp not have that a base build for Sammy HTC or Sony have?

I think tw is ugly but has waay more functionality then aosp.. It's definitely more of a consumer device. And now with things like sbeam.. Multi window... Smart stay... Etc

Everyone, including the writers of this site, say that it is barebones. It is built so that the user can add whatever they want to the basics.
TW is ugly by itself, but 2 minutes with an internet connection and most of the ugly is gone.
If you cannot see the differences between TW 4.1.2 and AOSP 4.1.2 then you just arent looking. Heck pull up the camera app and you will see 5-6 differences, the only one going in AOSPs favor is photospere, but I can have that.
I am also assuming that you with the skyrocket are not getting any of the TW UX features and are on an older version of TW. If you aren't getting the latest, then yeah you are missing out on a ton of stuff.

So you do see the extras that tw add but choose to disregard them. That is your choice. Flash aosp or aosp and be merry

So the features like the smart stay and multiscreen on newer devices. But how do those make aosp bare bones. From an apps and settings standpoint they both have the same base functionality. Then Samsung adds a notepad, file browser, and some remote control for smart TV's. What you call a starting point I see as bloat all I'm saying is your assessment is biased I feel a bit unfair to aosp. When I think bare bones I would think email app, music player, gallery, stuff like that would be gone to allow the user to choose.

The average Joe and Jane consumer don't want "barebones". They want features. And if they don't want to use some features, they don't need to. "Enthusiasts" who want to flash ROM's, root, etc, are NOT the core user of Android devices. You guys that do that just THINK you are. Cheers.
I used the wrong pronoun! LOL! I shouldn't have said "you" guys, as it seems you felt I was directing that comment to you. I was just making generalized statements on the topic of features vs barebones. I edited the previous post for clarity.
