Question about Different ROM bases.

So I want to install a custom rom but I am confused as to which I should use. I've read different roms and I've seen that they have different rom "bases" like cm 10.1, aokp, aosp, and PA(does it have a different rom base?). Just a question, what is the differences among them? Please help so I can decide which to flash.

Hmmm, good question, well most of the ROMs here are build off of official ROM source and thats what it means by base and the difference between them is almost everything from ui to features and stuff like that and to know which ROMs you like try flashing the the official ROMs like AOKP, CM, AOSP, and PA and then once you find the base you like then flash the other ROMs that are customized versions built from that ROM base

All of these ROMs are built from AOSP; that's Android Open Source Project. It's where Google officially releases the source code. All custom ROMs on this type of device will be built on AOSP. If a ROM says it has CM or AOKP base, that means they built it off the source code for that ROM (which is initially built off AOSP) and added their own tweaks or whatever.

[Q] AOKP vs AOSP?

What's the difference between an AOKP based rom and an AOSP one?
cheers

Aosp is the most vanilla version of android. It is the source released by Google. AOKP takes that source (aosp) and customizes it. They add ribbons and battery bar and other ROM control mods that aosp does not have. Flash one and check it out. I recommend task650's AOKP under the original development link.

[request] Custom cm10

Hi guys i have a custom rom request from those ho know how to build cm from source.
I know we have CM 10.2 and aosp 4.3 but how i use my nexus s they are to high on ram usage so i still use cm 10 because of its good ram ussage but it would be cool to have a version of cm 10 with some more features like:
-recent apps with clear boton like on cm10.1
-superuser from clockworkmod in settings like on cm10.1
-stock cm kernel with bigmem and with update surce to 3.0.96 like marimate or even marimate if it's easier
-fixed lock screen weather
-latest apollo
-halo if it's possible on cm10
-a good working camera from 4.3
Edit:also forgot about the security features from cm10.1.1 and 10.1.2
-and other tweaks to make it faster
It would be nice to have a cm10 with these features cause it won't be so demanding on rame usage at least until android 4.4 kitkat arrives

About ROM based source

I saw in development section has many ROM based on AOSP, AKOP, CM, Paranoid. How can I know if there are based on 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 sources?

They're all based on JB sources. Be patient, soon there should be an AOSP kernel based on 4.4.2 stock...

Mahdi and Paranoid Android 4.3+ are the only two AOSP ROMs to use the full Android 4.4.x sources for everything (kernel, drivers, sensors, libs, audio, etc).
All other AOSP ROMs, including CM, use Android 4.4.x sources + 4.2.x kernel, drivers, sensors, libs, audio, etc.
