Can google edition roms be customizable? For instance on AOSP roms pretty much everything can be customized? Thank you in advance.

GE ROMs still have a TouchWiz backbone, so you will not see the level of customization that ROMs based on AOSP and / or CM have. Maybe in the future.
there is a thread below this one for google questions.

I have found a few threads but a lot of them seem to have mixed replies, I just wanted to know if there is any direct answer as to whether there is a functioning default camera apk or not for custom roms.
Currently I'm running tasks aokp.
If you are asking if you can get the stock camera on an Aosp roms then the answer o's no.

There's no mixed answer here. TW apps cannot run on AOSP based ROMs. Period. So, no.
Alright, glad to get a answer!
Hey guys, just rooted and installed SafeStrap on my att gs4. Is there a list of roms compatible with SafeStrap? I know 4.2.x roms, but what confuses me is which ones? Some ppl say it has to be a 4.2.x "touch-wiz" based rom, other say you can run any 4.2.x rom, hence Google Edition rom(non "touch-wiz"). Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks

I told myself I wouldn't be that guy, but... Search. The "Official SafeStrap Q&A" is less than 10 topics below yours, in the same forum.

. I know the OP in that link says 4.2 touchwiz based roms ONLY. Google Edition rom isnt touchwiz based and others have said they ran non touchwiz roms, as long as its a 4.2...This is conflicting, figure someone can help me clear it up.
The only roms that can run are those that work on the touchwiz kernel. GPE is built with one, so it works. Besides that, only roms using touchwiz or GPE as a base work (no AOSP, nothing that requires a different kernel like 4.3)

As far as i understand it, it's the Kernal. For whatever reason, (this is the part I don't really get) the few GPE ROMs in that thread work with the TW Kernal. But ROMs that require their own Kernal, like CyogenMod, do not work.
Kind of confusing, yes, but this is exactly the type of question that that thread was designed for. And I'm sure you are not the first person to ask it. I'm not saying read through all 80 something pages, but I'm sure the answer is in there somewhere.
The GPE ROMs do not work 100%, either. Due to the missing GPE Kernal, they cannot be seen when plugged in to a computer, cause the drivers it calls for dont match the Kernal used. (Again, as far as I understand it).
Alright questions have been answered. Link to thread where all answers can be found was posted as well. As I closed the other similar question thread I will close this one as well.
OP if you have any questions regarding this decision please feel free to contact me via PM

Have a great day!
How can I tell if a ROM is AOSP or CM base as the kernels are usually separated as such?
Some devs indicate that, but if they don't then is there a way to tell?
I am particularly looking at this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/rom-mahdi-rom-2-4-t2581007
Thanks.
Well the most accurate way is to ask if the rom is CM based....
I think Mahdi is CM based, but im not 100% sure

Search and you will find (I put "aosp" in the search box for the thread)
Thanks guys for the quick response. I guess for every ROM there's always someone who has asked the question already.
Hello,
I've recently read about AOSP and makes me want to replace TouchWiz, so I rooted my phone and the problem is how do I install a custom ROM? I've read that I need the ROM manager and it's at the application manager I think but I've found none so I googled it and seems like it's the app I've downloaded 4 years ago. Can you please give me the steps on how do yo Properly install a custom ROM and could you also please suggest what's the good or the best AOSP Rom?
Thanks!
You didn't really google because there are countless threads out here.
It's easy:
- Flash custom recovery
- Flash the rom you want.
There is no best aosp rom, try them out for yourself which one suits you.

Yeah, I didn't google enough
I was too tired to search google again
and as for that no best aosp rom.. Im asking your opinion, so for you there's nothing in mind that you like?
Personally, I would suggest you try one of the Google Play Edition based roms. They are more stable, as compared to the AOSP based ones. All the best, and Happy Flashing

Every aosp rom is based on Cyanogenmod. So then it comes down to a matter of personal preference. Just try them out for yourself and see which one suites you.

I'll try that. Installing Cyanogen is a pain in the ass
Not EVERY aosp rom Is based on CyanogenMod. SlimRoms and Pure AOSP are not based on CyanogenMod... though CyanogenMod is based on AOSP. I hope you get the drill
After the April Fools prank (MOD), I started looking for an alternative to CM and I not found any pure AOSP.
I wonder how many people would like to have AOSP ROM?
Is there any developer willing to build for us? Thanks

Check out Exodus ROM. It's AOSP based and in the early stages of development, so it's fairly vanilla until now.

nope...
google edition rom is just a skinned stock 5.0.2 rom, debloated and with a google apps instead of some LG stock ones (i.e. google dialer, google contacts,...)
I found one ROM almost pure AOSP but dont have for our G2.
github.com/AOSPB
That plus CM device tree, I dont think it would be very difficult.
I would like to try, but I have an old PC.
If i remember correctly, orion os is aosp
