My recommendation is [INSERT ROM NAME HERE]
Seriously you gotta try them out yourselves. Personal preference counts. My deal on your circumstance would be official CM10.1.
And glad to see you're also Chinese!!

Andy already said what all of us will state. I'll just add that if you ask this question in any device forum on this site, expect worse replies than what you will get here. That question is asked time and time again, and the answer is always the same. (See Andy's reply)

Slim aside from bt issues from what people have said I never use it but yea newest slim with slim gapps swapped to ns4g modem effsi 0308 nm kernel loving it

I'd say you're best stable with CM10 so you won't be suffering from bluetooth issues.

Slim is the works best for me, as far as speed to battery life ratio.

[Q] What's the best ROM for Galaxy S4?

Wanted to check in and see what others thought in regards to best ROM out there for Galaxy S4

This all depends on what YOU like. I may like something that you don't. So its all dependent on what your looking for in a ROM and what things you like and don't like. Colors and bloat ware and mods and things like that make each ROM different.

I'm running Premium Rom and lovin it.

Stock. Yes, really. From my experience with the S3, all custom ROMs and kernels made the performance and battery life far worse. And some of the color schemes the devs use are very unappealing. Just root the stock ROM and enjoy the performance and stability as Samsung intended it to be. Your phone is a device that shopuld work for you, not the other way around.

S4 Roms on cm10.1 or 10.2

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.

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!

[Q]Good custom rom for Samsung galaxy S4

I have a samsung galaxy S4 SGH-I337M(canadian version) and im looking for a good rom out there. I whant to have a rom that gives you alot features, that gives the best performance to this devices and runs really smooth. I whant a rom that gives you alot of option's to customize. Can someone give a list of rom's that fit what I whant ?

You might want to try Goldeneye. I like it. It is touchwiz so you get the features of stock but a very nice smooth rom. Just one suggestion. :good:

Check the Dev threads.

Does it run smooth like cyanogenmod or does it lags sometimes like the original touchwiz?

It's not perfect, but it is much better than stock. Try it and if you don't like it you can always go back to cyanogenmod.

Aokp by task it is amazing

Sorry folks, all of the ROMs here are pretty good, it is really up to the user to determine which one works the best.
These threads get closed as users tend to make them arguments about one rom over another.

What to try after Knoxraid

Just curious what most people that were on Knoxraid are switching to. I have to say Knoxraid has been working great for me. I guess it won't be updated anymore so I'm looking to update my Rom

Most popular seem to be FireNote and dynamic kk. FireNote seems to be a bit more stable with great speed and battery life. I have been averaging about 1 day 8 hrs with 6-7 hrs of screen on time. Dynamic brings the latest and greatest kit kat as well as some customization. It has some bugs but the developer has been great about updating and fixing bugs very quickly!
FireNote Powered!

I'm running fire note it's flawless
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Firenote is my choice. Best speed stability and long battery life on stock look. My everyday rom in Stock slot.
Alliance is for those who loves to customize. Endless customization possibility and great rom as well. It's in my slot 1.
If you like KK rom, dynamic is the best one out right now but there are a bunch of other great devs are pushing new one that are great as well.
You just have to try it out and see which one suits you best.

I'm on the same boat. On knoxraid KitKat but I don't know if any other roms have inverted (black) app and setting backgrounds. Simply a must have with oled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

I've been using Dynamic Kat 1.3 after making the switch from Kn0xraid. So far I really like it. Might try out Fire Note as others are reporting good results.

Not quite the right thread for this request, but is there a mirror link still out there for the latest KnoxRaid add-ons?
Otherwise, I'm in the same boat. Itching to check out other ROMS. Anyone try the new S5 Experience ROM?
Looks promising.

I don't believe the Ron included gps fix but it works fine for most of the time. I would say I drive a lot using my phone as gps and 95% of the time works great. When I have error, I just turn off and on the GPS from quick setting and all works well again.

I'm running the dynamicKat right now... might switch to The S5 experience to try it out.

Thanks everyone for all the input. I think I'm going to give them all a try and see what I like the best. Main concern is battery life, speed and reliability.

I have tried the other KK roms and hate to say it but went back to Knoxraid.... Love the theme, and TW themes available in it too much.
Now to figure out how to build my own rom out of it and make it the way I want it.

I'm in the same boat as the OP and others here. But I went back to stock. Reason is because I got the new Gear 2 watch and saw many ROMs weren't working as well because they had features stripped from it such as Samsung Apps.
Any custom ROMs good with the Gear 2 watches?

Just Google Samsung app.apk download that and it will update to the latest, Gear will be fine after that with any ROM I believe.
