I assume that you're asking which rom is best?
No one rom trumps all other roms. It really comes down to personal preferences. Try them out (safety) and see for yourself.

I'm only using TW roms for the moment. I normally use AOSP roms, but this is the only rare occasion where my current phone software is up to date with aosp. Meaning that both are on 4.2.2. You really have to try each one for yourself to see what works best for you. If I decide to run an AOSP rom, it would be Task360's AOKP. He is a developing machine. Cranks out at least 2 updates a week to improve functionality. As far as TW roms go, Scott just brought clean rom over to the S4. I'm loving Mint jelly by Nottach right now. Development is high right now.

Same here. So far all the roms I've tried are TW based. I've tested MDOB which is very good... Currently I'm on Shostock which also smooth.
Haven't tried AOKP / AOSP as of yet..
nice this is the first one i tried and i really like it [ROM][4.2.2][June 2] Slim Bean jflteatt [build 6] - LOKI patched... the dark theme plus all the at&t stuff removed. wasn't asking what's the best just looking for opinions. i know "best" is just preference.
thanks for the feedback
FYI, I believe it is Task650 not 360.
Task650 AOKP Rom. While roms are subjective to the user, I use his rom because of I'm very familiar with it. Its extremely stable and you can pretty much customize everything in the rom. Not too mention, I love the pure google feel. TW on the S4 left a bad taste in my mouth with how much it freaking lagged.
First: Questions go in Q&A
Second: All ROMs are the best for those that use them. There is no substitute for reading the ROM threads in development
Hello everyone! I just spent awhile in the development forums looking for a simple optimized stock rom. Back on my Galaxy Nexus, I used to run Pete Alfonso's builds because they were pretty much stock with root and some simple optimizations and improvements. I can't seem to find any Nexus 4 roms of this type? Does anybody know any good, supported, but very minimal optimized stock roms? I don't want a CM10.1/AOKP/PA based rom. I don't want loads of custom code. Just a good quick rom!
Thanks

Another other suggestions from anyone?
I have a stupid question. I have tried to search but apparently I am not using the right keywords. I barely post, and when I do it's only when I can not actually find the answer myself. So hopefully you can bare with me and keep the flaming to a minimum.
I have been looking for a custom rom. There are a few that I have wanted to check out, however I actually do like and use the samsung camera features like drama shot, etc.
Is there a cm or aosp based rom that someone could recommend that offers those camera features? Or basically am I stuck just debloating my stock rom if I want to keep them? Not that I find too much actually wrong with the stock rom, I was just looking to play around and try out some of the different projects out there.
Thanks for the help guys in advance. I hope I was clear enough in what I am looking for.

You have to flash a TW based rom.

Are you saying there is a touchwiz based (debloated) rom that has the AOSP overlay and features. I've been using slim rom (love it) but was thinking. Couldnt you theoretically have a TW based ROM and have the AOSP ontop of it. I love the look of AOSP way more than touch wiz.

Your best bet is to go with a debloated Touchwiz-based ROM based on the much more up to date International firmware. Goldeneye 4.0 is the way to go for me.
You can even install MODs like the xposed framework/nolimit that all you to really customize the look of your phone.

Not possible. If you flash any ROM other then that for your device, it will result in a bootloop. The only way I can see for you to give HTC's UI a try is to download a ROM (if there is any) that has the UI ported. If you don't like Touchwiz, you can also try Stock Android (CM, PA, C-ROM etc)

Hey,
been a while since I been here(from back in the days of my Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up a Note 4. I like it. I somewhat dislike the TouchWiz and hate how out of box it's using 1.8-2GB of ram on start up(assuming because of TouchWiz).
Is there any roms out there that run practically stock Android(pref. 5.0 Lollipop?) but still have the S-Pen suite enabled, including the part when I pull my S-Pen out it notices it and gives me that "Air command" menu.
One last plus would be something that gives me the ability to still use fast charge 2.0.
I looked up a couple of roms but unless I missed something they don't offer these features.
Any help? I have the Canadian N910W8 model and use it on Band 4 AWS/UMTS(3G) and LTE on various freq's so the radio would(should, preferably stay in-tacked)
Thanks!
I don't think this belongs in this section man, maybe ask it in the Q and A. It will probably get moved.
On answering your question, at this stage there is no stock aosp rom that supports spen functions. It's a little bit of a dream for most users. Although I hear that lollipop will be faster than stock, that's what I've read.

That's wrong. There is S-Pen functionality in cm12 at this moment. All you have to do is download and install one or two apps from Play Store. This apps are even free.
It is CM S-Pen en Note Buddy. I have installed them myself and S-Pen does work.
Found this the other day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher&hl=en
Im running cm12 with the following
s pen launcher
cm s pen add on
note buddy
papyrus
this gives me basic s pen functions but is more than adequate for my needs

You are not entirely right either. There are free versions of this apps, but for full functionality you have to pay, not that there is anything wrong with it, just stating the fact. Also you have some s-pen functionality, but not all of it, and in my opinion CM12 s-pen functionality is somewhat less fluent and intuitive then TW one. Regardless, I still prefer CM than TW
I would also like to know how is this thread relevant to Development section

Be careful throwing around the word 'wrong'. I did say as far as I know, just trying to help someone out. There is apps you can use with cm or some other aosp roms, but it's nothing like the spen features you get from within TW. Not that I'm a big fan of it myself, I have quite a few gripes myself, *cough* performance... But for the multi window and spen features, presently if you use them all, TW is it for now.

I have the same phone as you. So far LiquidSmooth and the Unofficial CM-12.0 are the only Lollipop builds that can even use the S-Pen (Unless you know of others). You won't get the TW features of course. I'm very slowly looking into building a AOSP Lollipop rom that is custom built for our N910W8 devices. I've never built my own before so it is a lot of learning.

It *should* be doing that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It's caching stuff for speed so that the next time it needs to load up something, it can check if it still is in RAM already. It's not a TouchWiz thing.

You can still install it on other versions of the Note 4. Just expect some things not to work. If your running the CAN version of the Note 4 I don't recommend using LS atm due to very poor battery life on this model.

Not a problem!
Has anyone tried converting all the original s-pen apps to user apps with titanium backup, and then doing an app and data backup of them from the stock ROM, installing CM12, and then try to install them?
I'd try it myself, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate, not for myself. I think there's a possibility that it might work. It's gotta be worth a try..
I've got CM12 on my S4, and it's awesome.
Now the omega touchwiz rom are released:
imo the best rom and all features would work like in stock.
try i..maybe what you seeking?
