Rom Suggestion for Rogers GS4 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have not been around in a long time... could you someone suggest a fast/stable/google edition rom? In here or via private message....
There just seems to be soooo many ones... so any recommendations appreciated

If someone tells you them via PM.. PM me! I've been looking for good I337m roms but have been using 9505 ones

Try them all and see which one fits your needs. Sorry but these types of threads are frowned upon on Xda.

"Try them all", if you have unlimited amount of free time and have absolutely nothing better to do.
On a more serious note, do let us know what your needs are. My needs were quite simple, I wanted something very close to stock, but with tethering support, exchange security disabled and a few other minor ones. So I picked Omega. Its meant for the international GS4. And it has been working well for me.
Some people prefer a little more in a custom ROM. Singing and dancing donkeys at startup and shutdown. Default backgrounds with a red devil holding a shotgun. WingDings as the default font. If you want something like this then you might want to look at a different ROM.

No one can suggest something for you as they do not know YOUR tastes. Read the OP of the ROMs on the top page, look at the screenshots, backup with recovery, flash and try each for a day or two.

Yes, I have a good suggestion, place your question in Q&A! This is the wrong place.
Dang, people are brutal in here. I would try the cm10.1 nightlies. Just download goo manager from the market and browse ROMs, look for dev "cm" and get the latest nightlies and gapps. That way you can get the nightlies easier and flash every day if you like flame on!

They are not brutal. This section is for development. Q&A is the correct section for questions. Do you really want to wade through 500 question threads while lookimg for a rom? No, you dont. Ergo, the Q&A section. It is there for a very practical reason.

If you are on a pc, just click report. I cant, due to being on the mobile app. Either way, the next mod will either close or move the topic to the correct section. On the bad side of that, i fear he will be treated impatiently there as well. Hks very question is asked alot, and usually gets the same answer. "Flash some and try them". The reason is nobody can really tell you which rom is best for you. Everybody has different wants and needs from thier device/rom/kernel combo. It is a trial and error thing. Multirom can be used effectively to test perspective roms, while still keeping your original one till you find a suitable replacement.

My mistake... That said how about blocking these jerks who feel their "I'm cooler than you" comments that serve no use other than to inflame the issue. Not to mention attempt to show all of us how on top of life they are? I made a mistake and posted where I should not have. And I get how that causes issues. I do no come to these sites to be addressed as if I am subhuman. Again, Mr Moderator, my apologies. I apologize for turning this morons world inside out. Maybe we should take guns away from everyone...

As always, you know how XDA feels about "Best Rom" threads. Read and choose some that you think suits you.
If "One" would use the "SEARCH" button, they would see that there is an "OFFICIAL" thread just for this.

What is, in your opinion, the best custom rom out there?

It's simply an opinion thread, opinions are very welcome! Explain why you like the rom so much and what makes it different from the others, in your experience.
Edit: To those who think this question is too sensitive and might ignite some heated discussion, so be it! Nothing is wrong with comparing roms and experiences, and it's great to highlight the good and bad of each rom in the way each person sees it. This is why diversity is great. Again, if you're not comfortable with this, you're welcome to not click on this thread, you're not the only one in this forum!
I say either carbon or liquidsmooth. ..?

One rom is not better than the other..period. all of the roms have their own unique feature and look. Its all on what a user prefers. Actually, its not wise to ask whats the best. That does nothing but start a war.

It's an opinion thread and just as your opinion is welcome, you're off topic (you're trying to troll this thread). The thread is in the right section, very legitimate question and you have the right to not participate if you think it will hurt you.

Same goes to you. This has some connection to the "What's the nest ROM" threads that are always getting closed. For that reason I will tell you to flash the Roms your find interesting and see which fits your needs and wants.

Its amazing how people come Q&A Help thread and post comments without the intent to help at all. All they do is waste your time and theirs, Unless they have nothing better to do, which seems to be the case.
Anyways, to answer your question on a good solid TW ROM. Try Sacs ROM. It's the most solid one I've tried to date.
Here is the link to Sacs latest ROM.

Thank you very much my kind sir. I was looking at San ROM earlier. Looks to be quite nice, is that the rom your currently using?
Sent from my SPH-L720
Dude just try a few roms out and find the one you like. It's not about what's the best rom it's what rom is best for you. Making a what's the best rom thread is very offensive to developer's.
Love the 90s good times

I'm currently testing a CM11 unofficial. I like to test out different ROMs. When it comes to a TW ROM I tent to go back to Sacs ROMs. They are stable and include good useful features and also allow for some UI mods.
Thread closed. We don't do "best of" here. Please do like I do and in the future take the time to read the ROM threads in development to see what looks like a good ROM. There's plenty of feedback in those threads... And only takes a few minutes... Q and A is generally meant for HELP with something YOU can not solve... This was easily solved with just a little reading... Thank you...

Got MK2 rooted using VRoot... However..

Phone root is perfect. Removed Chinese superuser . Now, is there a recovery that I can use to flash a custom ROM? I tried flashing CWM and TWRP, but the phone still boots to stock recovery...Is there even a ROM that will work with this damn MK2 firmware?

I dont know if the method of MF3 works. I could not flash custom roms by that recovery except some TW roms when I used MF3.

no.
Why is it that people don't do some reading? There is plenty of information about this in the forum already. I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out. Did you even read the rules before you signed up?
Scott - give it a rest.
All of your comments are the same..... "look it up"
This site is NOT the easiest to locate information on. Finding information here is references to references to pages that at 128 pages deep with a blurb to look at another thread.
"Yeah but thats my point, if people read and did not ask questions because the answers are already..."... well its a little too late unless XDA has some users with AUTHORING capabilities to clean up the forums.
To Rickala..... I dont believe a custom rom is available at this moment, but I would keep an eye on the development section of this forum. Get Titanium Backup and freeze all of the ATT stuff, the stock rom isnt that bad
Good luck buddy

Posting questions without searching
I am not siding with (or against) anyone here, but to be 100% fair, the search function here is seriously lacking at times.
Example: In the Accessories section, a few days ago I was looking at a page of threads including one whose title was "Spigen Slim Armor View."
When I searched, from that page, for the word "Spigen," it returned a nothing found result.
OK, it NOW works correctly, but for a while there it absolutely did not.
Of course on the other hand, how can you miss it when a half dozen threads on the page clearly reflect terms related to what your question is about?
The bottom line is, people are generally lazy and will post things like "I'm new here so don't flame me, but I don't have time to read through hundreds of posts to find the answer, so I will just ask you all a really basic question that has been asked dozens of times."

I've found a Google search with the site: parameter is a good alternative.
ie: "Spigen Slim Armor View site:forum.XDAdevelopers.com"
It doesn't help with bad Grammer, spelling, punctuation or attitude, but it does return better results than the native search.
Give it a go.

Scott -
Did you read the rules?
Lets analyze this:
Why is it that people don't do some reading? There is plenty of information about this in the forum already. I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out. Did you even read the rules before you signed up?
1. Search before posting.
.... If the OP found this forum, he must have done some type of searching, no? I mean if no search was performed he would had asked same question in the Droid Bionic forum
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please consider who is reading what you write and don't use profanity, sexually explicit language, rudeness or swearing. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.
...I would think the majority of people would consider "I wish they would ban people for not following the rules and at least minimally trying to find things out" rude
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
...I cannot spot 1 single item in your paragraph that even touches item #10
Rickala - let us know how your search turns out, good luck
Take care everybody

Stop trolling. Your reply is useless and added nothing to the discussion (as have a couple of the others in this thread). It has already been widely reported that MK2 is root-able by both the V-root method and SuperSU survival modes. So there is no need for the OP to make screenshots.
Not trolling at actually. But isnt tje point of XDA to provide resources when making a statement root is available, steps one takes to get root so others can have it. Right? You should have camr back with a better response rather than saying root is available since you sre keen on providing links to "Rules"... to sum up soome posy credible resources gaining root..

Vroot or Kingo was NOT declared illegal by XDA. Warnings were posted that it seems to collect information during the rooting process deemed unneeded for rooting so we do not allow direct links at this time. Use at your own risk and discussion is allowed.

rom recommendations?

i've been using LiquidSmooth for a few months and love it....except for one problem... ASOP doesn't play well with the Sprint network. before that Triforce was my driver
I've been trying to get my APN working on this "Echo" s5 port, but ive never had any luck changing these settings (help me!)
I really love the look/feel/options that come from ASOP roms, but apparently I need to go back to an ugly Touchwiz rom in order to reliably connect to sprint's towers (PRL/Profile updates)
So what do you all recommend in terms of stability and tweak-ability (xposed, etc)
right now im looking at NegaLite and Sac's
+1 for Nega. Super stable and devs his own kernel.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer you, both Nega & Sacs are impressive, Nega is more inverted however, I believe you can get the stock theme for it however, Sacs to me has more tweaks from multiple galaxy devices, but thats V6, the recent NG2 is still being updated.
Thank you both for your input. Nega seems good so far so i'll just stick with that until Sac has a chance to update. Parkourkid93, care to elaborate on what Sac used from other Galaxy devices? I'm quite jealous of ultra power save.
