custom stock rom?

wasn't sure where to post this? does anyone know if any devs plan on making a custom, debloated, deodexed stockish rom for us? maybe something with some tweaks and a jellybeanish theme? i know we all want aosp but id like something to tide me over until aosp get a bit more stable.
id gladly donate to the cause.

Give them some time. We have several Devs with this device that are known for making the roms that you speak of. You don't want a rushed product.

Could a modified Touchwiz rom take up much less space than the stock one? I like a lot of things about the S4's TW, but it's also tempting to go to CM or similar and free up a few GB.

Apparently this wicked rom is ~400mb less than stock. I just finally downloaded and flashed, everything's good so far, just setting everything up

/system and /data are different partitions. Debloated ROMs use less space, but it is still stuck on the /system partition. Now you can move some apps to /system if you want but right now no one has repartitioned the S4 (and if you did it could mess s lot of stuff up

Running ktoonsez kernel and it has been great. Battery life seems the same (this is going to depend on what governor you select and what OV/UV...I'm on ktoonservativeq) as stock kernel but much smoother and way more options. Have not tried agat63's yet but I'm sure it is solid as well.
ktoonsez kernel thread

Ktoonsez !!

faux123 003 kernel has gave me the best battery life so far.. ktoonsez kernel ran good also but i got better battery life with faux kernel.. but kernel run diff for everyone.. one kernel mite run perfect for one and not the other.. test a few and find one that works well with your phone

The best kernel is which ever one works best for you.
Everyone uses their phone differently and every phone has minute manufacturing differences which make the best kernel for me not the best kernel for you.
Try them all for a few days and you quickly find the one that is best for you.

Stock Rom + Overclock cpu+gpu is this possible?

Hi everyone..I have the nexus 7 about a month now and i decided to o/c a bit for the main cause is gaming and surfing the net.
I am very satisfied by the device so far.
I want to keep my stock rom and the only thing i need is to o/c the cpu and gpu in order to achieve better fps in certain games.
Is this possible? e.g the google's stock rom (4.2.2) and for example a kernel? (faux-trinity e.t.c.).
I understand i must root my device but i don't know if i can keep my stock rom and o/c at the same time.
Thank you in advance

Short answer: Yes.

Highly possible. Check out Franco.kernel and it's premium app on the playstore you'd essentially have full control over gpu/cpu anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct. You can use ROM toolbox to OC. There are also many other apps.

Thanks all for your help. So i need to root it first and then flash a kernel?
The rom toolkit or any other app won't let me overclock with the stock kernel is that right?
I think the franco kernel won't allow overclocking correct me if i am wrong

What Rom/Kernel combination works best for you?

what combination has worked well for you (issue free) ?
I'm asking because I've been getting some black screen of death and reboots. I've been swapping between Triforce with AGAT and KT kernels.

Dude this thread is going to get locked. Theres a "best" anything really, just try them out yourself really and see which one fixes your problems and works best for you.

Stock/stock. My phone doesn't like custom kernels for some weird reason. It heats up quickly with one on or the keyboard starts flaking out.

No Comment lol

Slim Bean (4.2.2 stable or 4.3 build 4) worked for me without issue, with either the installed Slim kernel or Chronic. I'm on Carbon 4.3 nightlies now, however NFC is broken.

Go on Goo manager grab DHO's rom. Grab gapps for 4.3 whatever pack ya want and grab Chronic kernel for Aosp 4.3.. I've been onboard since yesterday and its very fast and stable. Check it owwwtt! ;D

I think this should be more of a general topic...
But I personally love CM. Flashed 10.2 (usually the latest nightlies or a few days behind), and the speed and stability is amazing (even for a nightly!)

Triforce 3.1 by Unknownforce with agats kernel. Also Sacs rom is great right there with Triforce.

Sacs ROM, Agat kernel, cerj's blue chrome theme, BAM!:thumbup:
Good stuff.

The 09/09 Carbon nightly now has working NFC (along with everything else). I'm a big fan of Chronic kernel, although I do still use the KTweaker app to mess with it.

so far i am loving liquid 2.9 with chronic.....great battery life and havent had an issue one.

A fully stable ROM for this device?

I'm looking for a stable ROM for my friend's S4. He wants something different to the stock bloated experience but he's not into flashing or anything of this sort. So I'm looking for a ROM that I can flash to his device that doesn't need too much tweaking or updating, so he can forget about it and just use it as his daily driver. His device it's already rooted with cwm recovery. It doesn't has to be something out of this world, but at least something that won't give him much bugs with a daily basic use.

I'll try the Goldeneye one, it's debloated and it's still stock so it'll be of ease use for my friend and he'll like the extra space and fluidity.

It is up to user preference. Each ROM is different and has its own bugs/quirks, as does each phone. While we may have the exact same device, they all have their own personalities.
