So I've had this phone for a couple weeks now and i love it but I'm itching to flash a rom on my old school E4G I usually ran versions of stock Android roms but only cause that phone stopped at gingerbread but they are to plain and boring for me i like touch wiz and some of the features this phone has jus wondering what rom would be best to keep some of this but get a faster phone? And before someone says it i read tons of forums but recommendation is jus better to me

force rom is basically stock but with all the bloat removed. blu kuban is similar but with a theme.
I would recommend one of these if you want to remain on touchwiz.
I'm currently on force rom waiting for the new release of blu kuban to drop.:thumbup:
Blu Kuban for TW. Slimbean for AOSP.

I see a bunch of custom Gingerbread ROMs in the development forum. However they all force you to use a custom theme that makes I find difficult to use.
Is there a Gingerbread ROM that keeps the stock TouchWiz and the stock theme?
I have long held the belief that themes should be developed separately from ROMs, but most developers appear not to have similar inclinations.
Revolution is the closest u will get to stock

Or you could learn how to theme if what these guys put out doesnt fit your needs

Hi, what I would do is Odin Shabby's or AGAT's custom recovery found in the Android and Original Development sub-forums. Both are confirmed to work with creating and restoring backups. I've personally used Shabby's customer recovery twice to restore backups after testing CM10.1.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.
Alright cool thanks!, I had the gs2 before this phone so I knew it was somewhat the same but I wanted to double check before killing my phone lol

Go to the Android Development forum and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread, and it provides excellent instructions on installing the recovery.
SLIMBEAN is working great BTW. I have been rocking it since it came out. I was so pumped because I got my S4 the day it came out and before that I was using Slimbean on my S3 so I'm glad the first AOSP rom up and running well enough for a daily driver was Slimbean!
Look out for Garywn's CM, AOKP, and PA roms, those she be up and running soon enough! Actually CM is in beta as well now!

Do it! Takes like two seconds
Yeah AOSP has none of the exclusive TW features, including but not limited to things like smart stay, air gestures, etc.
The camera has the standard AOSP features, still looks just as good, just missing some of the TW stuff!
SLIMBEAN looks so much better visually though then touch wiz haha, worth it.

So I have been rooted on stock for a while now and want to flash a rom. I have a few that I fancy but wanted to know what you guys are using. I really want to map my HTC button as well.

For stock experience you could go for ARHD or Trickdroid mate.
For AOSP you could try rootbox or AOKP.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Tried all available Roms and stuck with ARHD. It's stock experience but a little snappier. The AOSP /AOKP Builds from my opinion do have to much problems still as the battery life is not what I expect from the phone. Also I don't want to miss ZOE
Cheers guys is the tbalden kernel compatible with ARHD? Really want the HTC logo mod
Use Trickdroid is fast, with tweaks and themes.
Using the OrDroid and ElementalX kernel.
Please just try the ROMs for yourself and read the threads.

Any suggestions to the best combination of rom and kernel?
My signature and default samsung kernel
Nice
I've always wanted to try that one, but im stuck with Foxhound 1.2 because of the theme, i really like the dark theme, makes it look more premium
I'll be waiting for D3NnNy to upload the theme only so that I can try other ROMs.
Latest Echoe rom and Lean Kernel for me
X-Note + Faux for me...
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
X-note!
Ive wanted to try X-note, is there any way to merge x-note rom and foxhound's theme? I dont want the stock theme, foxhound's dark theme really looks good
Do not post questions in this section!
Sorry!

I'm running the stock ng2 rom. Rooted. No mods. Knox stripped. I was using sacs v3. But the bugs annoyed me so I went back to stock and downloaded but never flashed v4. Does v4 have all s5 apps, settings, and toggles in the notification? That rom was pretty snappy and would probably give it a go if it makes my device more s5 looking.:thumbup:

Sacs v4!
Okay Son Rise. You talked this rom up soo much in the sacs v4 thread and this one and I just flashed it and wasted my time... As in, having v4 on my sdcard and not flashing it sooner! This rom is what I been looking for. All s5 themed and the basic mods. So far everything is running smoothly. I notice a settings icon bug but what is that to a stable, smooth rom. Thanks for the recommendation and I also recommend sacs v4 if you want to refresh your old s4 to a s5 and some.

I just flashed hyperdrive from the Verizon s4 section and I had to change the apn to get 4g/3g working but I can get mms but can't send mms, everything work's while running kt kernel but the menu list are Grey on Grey but it's still works and the lock screen options work without any extra work, maybe the creator of this Rom and sacs should link up and share codes.
