help choosing rom - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I need help with a rom that doesnt keep rebooting randomly. and the wifi works any suggestion

The touch wiz roms tend to be more stable. Look at triforce or intrinsic or negalite

Check the threads of the rom you want specially tw roms. All of them are good. And for WiFi issues have been resolved just flash a different kernel. If you want stock kernel then re-flash stock kernel

I personally use free gs4 Rom by team sonic. Is pretty stable and is nearly close to stock!

Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped!

I'm on TriForce with ktoonsez kernel with zero problems for quite awhile now. Love this Rom.

Definitely a personal preference kind of thing. I am using TriForce 3.1 with AGAT kernel. No issues here. I usually flash roms every so often, but I've been using this one for some time now & gotta say I love it Also looking forward to Hyperdrive.

I am using Sacs Custom v5 with Ktoonz kernal and have neither of the issues you do OP.

Trouble with phone after flashing.

So I have been flashing Roms since this phone has had the ability to. But recently I decided to flash a Google 4.2.2 ROM. Well, I can't flash any ROM except for Google 4.2.2 or 4.3 and its frustrating because I want to go back to AOKP. Any ideas how to fix this?

Also. To further clear it up. When I flash another ROM the phone sticks at the custom screen. Doesn't bootloop, doesn't shut off. Just sits there.

Which rom have you tried to flash? Also which S4 do you have?

Flash the rom back you wanted, and before you boot, FLASH THE AOSP ATT KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE. It will boot.
You did say aosp you wanted to go back to, if it is a TW rom, flash tw.
Thank you. Your Welcome.

Everything from Goldeneye to AOKP. But it just sits at the custom screen. And I have the I337 AT&T US.

I flash AOKP with the stock underwear kernel. I don't think that flashing the AOSP att kernel would effect it though. I've never ran into this problem with my past 3 phones. EVO 4G, EVO 4G LTE, and my SIII

You also didn't have locked bootloader on the others.
if you do not use loki doki or loki kernel, you will continue to hang at the boot screen.
Good point. I forgot about that.

[Q] what are people running on Canada S4's

I am interested in knowing what people are running for roms on their S4's (i337m) in Canada and perhaps what they have found works well and what doesn't work so well. Also If you have had to do any special in order to get a particular rom working well I would like to know that.
Running vision x v1.4.
As long as you flash the proper kernel your fine on this rom...zero issues. Its fast and has terrific battery life. Its also themed lightly and looks way better than stock.excellent support from the dev as well.
All I did was change my build prop from i337 back to i337m so I can use mobile odin if I need to.

Running wanamlite 1.4 with Adam kernel and 3minit framework from the I9505 section. Runs great.... a little too good... miss flashing new ROMS lol

I used GoldenEye (TW) and Kangabean (GE) for a while. I decided to try out an AOSP ROM and loved it. Currently using ParanoidAndroid 3.99

Minion ROM

OK so I know that I can flash T-Mobile ROM's to my AT&T S 4. But my question is now that I checked and found that there is no modem.bin file, I then proceeded to flash The Minion ROM with the KTweaker Kernel but no success, So what I am asking is the kernel for the Minion ROM a modified stock TouchWiz? And if not then why didn't the ROM flash with the KTweaker kernel?

DarthStalker ROM 4.3

What firmware are you on, and what recovery? If you're using Safestrap then it doesn't ever flash any kernels. If Minion ROM has a touchwiz UI and features, then it uses a TW kernel.
I am on twrp recovery. My phone is an MDL build

And I did flash with a touchwiz kernel. But what I am trying to find is if the minion kernel is just a modified touchwiz bc if it is then I don't need to flash the KTeaker

It's for a touchwiz rom, so yes it would be a modified touchwiz kernel.
So it would be fine to flash it without flashing the KTweaker kernel then? Bc I tried to pull the kernel out and replace it with the KTweaker so I wouldn't have to flash twice.

It will be fine.

So I tried it without the KTEAKER kernel and no cigar, the KTeaker won't flash in so I am not going to concern myself with it anymore. But I am working my own rom and if you know any good devs that won't to throw in some help that would be great!

Recommend a ROM for a UK Note 3

Hi,
I have quite got the hang of rooting, flashing and customising my UK version Note 3 but I wanted to hear from other UK users as to which ROM (or ROM's) they recommend and why.
I want something fairly lean but as long as it provides improvement over the stock Samsung ROM.
I have tried out Carbonrom which is great visually but does lack some features and has over simplified others plus has one or two stability issues. Tried a few others but not sure how safe they are (from a security point of view) and how stable.
Strangely enough I have gone back to the stock KitKat 4.4.2 Samsung ROM with the Custom Recovery and Root enabled, hopefully I can workout how to unbloat the phone and I might just stick to the crappy touchwiz.
Cheers,
Fz
Omega rom. That is all.

CivZ Flexkat 2.8 is very good imo, just try a few and keep the one best suited for you
Thanks for the feedback, tried those but ended up settling in Jackyaway nd5_1 rom.
It's not feature packed but is light and has just what I need for now.

First flash in 2 years

Hey guys, I happen to be running an old shostock rom from shortly after I got the phone. I believe I have the mdl bootloader but am only 90% sure.
Since it has been so long and I see so many threads about having to use safestrap I just want to be cautious with my flash.
I would like to try out a newer, but very stable ROM. Which ones are compatible with my device? I assume I still need to flash lokidoki.zip?
I used to love miui on my old inspire/desire hd....is there a good port for the gs4?
Thanks for the help!

If you go to Settings, "About Phone" and check there or extra information, it should tell you the what the current bootloader is for your device, yes?
Dirty Unicorns is a stable MDL based ROM available in Kit Kat and Lollipop.
If you have an old ROM, I wonder if you may need to update your modem as well.
Whatever do you, don't forget to backup. Good luck.

Anyone else have anything to add? How stable are the aosp lollipop roms?
I do like touchwiz but I'm looking for a change of pace.
