Question About Google Edition Roms.

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.

[Q] Stupid Question.

I have a stupid question. I have tried to search but apparently I am not using the right keywords. I barely post, and when I do it's only when I can not actually find the answer myself. So hopefully you can bare with me and keep the flaming to a minimum.
I have been looking for a custom rom. There are a few that I have wanted to check out, however I actually do like and use the samsung camera features like drama shot, etc.
Is there a cm or aosp based rom that someone could recommend that offers those camera features? Or basically am I stuck just debloating my stock rom if I want to keep them? Not that I find too much actually wrong with the stock rom, I was just looking to play around and try out some of the different projects out there.
Thanks for the help guys in advance. I hope I was clear enough in what I am looking for.

You have to flash a TW based rom.

Are you saying there is a touchwiz based (debloated) rom that has the AOSP overlay and features. I've been using slim rom (love it) but was thinking. Couldnt you theoretically have a TW based ROM and have the AOSP ontop of it. I love the look of AOSP way more than touch wiz.

Your best bet is to go with a debloated Touchwiz-based ROM based on the much more up to date International firmware. Goldeneye 4.0 is the way to go for me.
You can even install MODs like the xposed framework/nolimit that all you to really customize the look of your phone.

New ROMS

I just wanted to know if anyone is still working / porting new ROMS for the Note 8.0 any version? Please let me know thanks....

I guess all the popular custom ROMs like CM, PA and the like can be classified as "new". Thus I think that 2yes" could be a correct answer to your question.

Thanks!

Need Help please

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

Base roms

So I searched the whole rom recoveries kernel section, did not see any base roms. If there isn't, where to info about pulling system to make one? Trying to get a custom OOS rom going as AOSP can suck it lol. Original software is always more stable IMO

What is a base ROM for you?
Normally pure AOSP is considered as the reference as it's Google code without modification. But people don't like pure AOSP because it's lacking many features people are used to. So even AOSP labeled ROM have some non AOSP add-ons.
If you want a 'pure' AOSP ROM you'll have to compile it.

Back in the days someone usually created an optimized stock Rom for different devices based off the OEMs software so that others could flash it or use it as a base for custom ROMs based off of stock.
I believe that's what he is referencing if I am not mistaken.

There is no base ROM for the OnePlus 6T. Its so AOSP like almost everything is done from source. I thought about posting a base ROM, as that is what I used to primarily use (and usually posted). I wasnt much into Source.
Another cool thing some devs due are make mods that can be flashed in magisk, and so long as you have the stock oos you can enjoy there version of stock oos with whatever tweaks they have done to it such as custom settings apps, etc.

Nailed Scott as usual. This device and how android handles files is extremely different than other phones we've both worked on as well (pretty sure that's android specific) I'm gonna have to look into the magisk thing. Never did the from source thing so that might be over my head. Don't have Linux set up on my machine either so a lot of time would have to go into just getting a stock flashable to work with.
I want to get some of the mods and themes I always post for this phone, but this might be a hurtle as I usually got a base to run with. I always try to show some love and since developers are jumping ship (because the money's not there, let's not lie and say that isn't what it's about) I know my work would be appreciated

The magisk modules are a great way to go because its reversible as well. Not sure if you knew that. You can uninstall these MagiskROM's just as easy as installing.
