OK so I know this question comes from my lack of knowledge.. But here goes..
I've been using Task650s aokp for like 6 months.. Just got my 4s, and installed it right away. Love it.. Mostly because I want major customization. However, I do want to experience some of the s4 features that come stock.
Is there a Rom that I can use the theme chooser on for aokp and cm themes, while still having access to stock features that are otherwise not accessible on many custom roms?

What I think you really mean to ask is, "Is there a custum Touchwiz rom that includes the CM/AOKP theme chooser?"
The answer is, "No."
You could always check out the xtheme engine, it's supposed to be just like the theme engine from cm/aokp but fit stick Roms

It is far more limited then the theme engine which is kinda limited in what it can do.
To answer the OP. No if you want AOSP based you have to be willing to give up ever thing samsung

I'm not sure about what the base will be but the ROM will be themed to look like Touchwiz Nature UX. My dev partner Tmogalaxys2 has a ROM called Galaxy SBean in the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 section that is themed to look like Twiz Nature UX. It is one of the most popular JB ROMs for the phone.
I'd be interested

I'm not planning on starting it that soon anyways. I'm going to wait for some more ROMs to come out.
I just got this phone from Sprint and would like to know a good daily use rom to load
thanks for any suggestions
You should've really posted under General Discussion...and regarding your question. If you want Touchwiz based, I'm currently using the FreeGS4 rom and liking it. If you want more of a stock android, then I suggest CM10.1
Wrong section. But it depends what you like in a rom. Do you like the touchwiz? If so go with one of the Roms in the development section. If you like the stock feel trying the AOKP

Could do what I did. Try diffrrent ROM's and whatever you like best... use that one. Also, the ROM posts give info.

Freegs4!! should be getting updated soon too :fingers-crossed:
I am a huge fan of stock android. My daily driver is Carbon ROM in which everything works and its slick as android can get. Free GS4 is solid for the TW feel and helps the new user because you won't lose any of the gs4 features such as eye tracking and the like

Hey guys, please excuse the newbieness, just got this device.
Basically I'm looking for a ROM that has customization available. I'd like to be able to change icons, app drawer background, etc. Is there such an "eye candy" ROM for Nexus 4?
I looked through dev sections but couldn't find anything obvious... which brings me to my next Q: what's the difference between the "original dev" section and the "dev" section?
Thanks!
Those customization options that you listed can be accessed through a custom launcher like apex or nova. You don't even need a custom ROM for that stuff.
Use Google for the answer to your other question.
Get Carbon ROM. It's the mist feature packed one there is. Install some nice themes for eye candy.
Original development is for "original"/independent development (even though 99% of it is basted off Cyanogenmod so.. Yep.) and android development is for development that has been kanged/taken from other development & had been changed, tweaked, etc.

Paranoidandroid is highly customizable and full featured (hybrid mode, pie controls, the new halo). You can find the link in my sig.

Guys no offence to PA, but it's barely any more customisable than stock.
Carbon, Xylon/uXylon, AXI0M are the most customisable ones.

I totally agree with you. Not trying to offend any one, as PA is my favorite rom, buts its definetly not as customizable as people are making it out to be. With that being said it does have the most innovative features in my opinion.

maybe PA doesn't have more customization options than aokp or carbon or any other rom but it has hybrid properties and that is TRUE customization for me...

This. The color and individual app hybrid properties make it a winner for me. But that's just my opinion. OP, you'll never know which is best for you until you try them all out.
Happy flashing!

Hello guys. I recently bought this phone after 1.5 years on my old lg optimus 2x. Although the stock touch wiz UI is fairly speedy, I cant helo but think it would run much faster on a stripped down rom like cm10 for example. Which roms would you suggest if I'm looking to retain the sort of cool camera features on stock sg4 but without the lag of touch wiz ui? Excellent battery life is also a big plus Thank you.
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda app-developers app
You will not get the cool camera without TW. You can use a different launcher though.

So there isn't anything I can flash on top of a rom to let me use stock camera?

Unfortunately no, as the camera requires the TouchWiz framework yo be installed.
You can however use a custom TouchWiz ROM, such as GoldenEye. Performance is better than stock, and it's based off the latest international firmware, so you'll be running a newer firmware that what is offered on AT&T.
If you don't mind losing the TouchWiz camera, then try out the official CM10.2 nightly from get.cm. It offers a ton more performance, has great battery life (I'd say comparable if not just shy of stock), but doesn't offer the same camera frills—oh, and of course, it doesn't look like it could win an award for being so ugly.
Personally, I would try CM. If you can't handle the camera (which is about the only downside, as I didn't end up using any of the gimmicky TouchWiz features after awhile) then it'll be so much better in every single way. If you feel you need the camera, try out GoldenEye.
Good luck! And happy flashing!

There is no BEST ROM as it depends on your preference/usage/signal/phone. So you get an idea of a few and try them out for a day or two each.
Just another tip from someone who has screwed up this in the past. If you install a touchwiz-based rom remember to also flash Loki-Doki!

You need to read the pinned threads in the "General" section as well. Make sure you read and follow XDA rules. Good luck.
Hi all,
Getting my G2 in a week and thought I could get your input. I'm sure there are others that may also be interested...
I've been using cm for years, and have honestly been a fanboy without trying other custom roms.
Wanted to ask, what would you recommend for the g2? PA or CM?
PA is on kitkat already, and the forum and development seems more active for PA, whereas CM is still on 4.3.1 and the forum does not seem all that active...
Your thoughts please?
Thanks!

Vertigo just today uploaded alpha build of cm11, I used to use cm before but since halo I've been using pa (and pie's also awesome) But ultimately it's just personal preference

This.
Currently if you are talking KitKat, it makes almost 0 difference as both are pretty much stock base with minor tweaks and very minor differences.
Both are good in their own way.
But I suggest u post this in the Q& A thread.
Because here it might lead to best ROM/Kernel thread
Flash them both and see which you like
Just test yourself and see what fits you best
Also, please note that such comparasion threads are not allowed on xda.
