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.

Lets see how many users are using Custom Rom , Stock Samsung ROM , MIUI or CM7....
Vote at your will.
Using my own custom sammy rom . I like to put my own touch to them lol. CM7 is ok but i find anything AOSP roms have flaws but props to the devs.

Oxygen 2.3.2, or HydrogenMod.
Aosp for me all the way.

To be fair, stock would be the most used rom.

Heh, true that. I guess most people are just using stock roms, maybe with a custom kernel. This phone works fine the way it is actually, there are just some little flaws that can be fixed with a couple of hacks, and some colours which are a bit out place, but we have some nice themes after all.
Aosp roms are blazing fast tho, really unrivaled in terms of smoothness if you wanna play games...the problem with those is that they aren't 100% bug free as the ones i was using on my Desire, so i find it hard to use them as a daily driver for more than a few days every now and then on this particular phone.
Hyperdroid androidmeda with speedmod kernel.

Galnet MIUI ICS builds. Far better than anything else.
stock 2.3.5 PT + juicedefender
thats it
checkk
CheckROM with ICS syndicate theme work perfect for me!
You're going to get a biased result asking on xda, as its where people who like modding go. Most users will not know about xda or bother with custom roms and be using stock

im a little bit confused because i come from nexus one, where the biggest part use CM builds, but here there seems to be a more even distribution among users..... any special reasons?
Was on cognition for a long while. on darky ROM now.

I prefer Samsung custom roms because they are so freakin smooth. Excellent stock browser, I love TouchWiz and the launcher, superb camera interface, and an awesome video player app.
Hyperdroid all the way-official ROM of the 2012 Olympics.
You guys wants me to add more poll items for Custom Stock ROM ?
I'm trying out omega and liking it so far,
Reason why the large distribution is because really, the phone works as is pretty well. It just needs a few tweaks to get rid of that garbage late night battery full alert and a couple other things. Since most people are looking for stock + tweaks, there's a lot of different tweaks available.
WajkIUI... i hope the spelling is right.. excellent ROM

YES, of course
Stock Samsung 4.1.1. It fast, smooth and all the hardware works unlike any of the third party ROMS
Can't beat it for stability or speed.
Or if you are really daring, get the Samsung 4.1.2 from KIES

Yes stock, now that JB 4.1.1 update has arrived. I actually tried them all (Roms) here and all are very good. For now, I am running stock JB with KK-Boot kernel and SD swap script. All is smooth and working well!

I don't understand all the comment saying "the stock rom is very good and smooth" cyano is more smooth and don't contain all the soft from samsung that are horrible.

Hi, I'm new to the rooting/android community and I'm wondering if it is worth it to try out CyanogenMod... What are the pros and con's?

More features. Possible* better battery.. There is so much and there's more than CM to try out
Sent from my Dirty-Trinity-Unicorn'd Nexus⁴
Yes.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yeah, there are more features and probably better performance/battery. You could start out with the RC5 build since it is the most stable and updated build but generally the nightly builds are pretty stable with minor bugs too. Personally, I prefer AOSPA since it has very innovative features that make my phone that much more unique :]
If you don't like it you can flash another Rom or go back to stock. You'll probably end up trying different roms and finding out what you like.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
sure man. couldnt hurt to learn a bit about your phone in the process as well
just dont be stuck with cm. its not the only stable rom, and it is definitely not the most stable so dont worry about having to just play it safe with cm.
Try PACman Rom, has Cyanogenmod, AOKP and Paranoid Android, the top 3 roms in my opinion. this way you can see all the features and then flash the rom you like the most or stick to it...whatever floats your boat
Yes

if you are satisfied with stock then No , if you feel some features that you would use are missing then go for it.
as for battery life, from my own experience, stock was the best option for me so far.
Use Carbon instead. Has the features CM has but a lot more. Nav width/height adjustment is a must for me. CM doesnt have that and wont put it in.
And I am completely overwhelmed by how good this phone is!
I've been away from XDA for a very long time and figured I'd come back and see what the community is like for the S4.
Hopefully I'll be able to contribute towards this awesome phone on here, somehow.
Thanks

Great, welcome! Now all you need to do is to root and rid your phone from the god-awful TouchWiz framework!
(The above reflects my opinion only. Of course you might like TouchWiz (I mean the UI, not the launcher with the same name))

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, I wouldn't possibly think you'd like TW.
The vanilla rom is awesome. Running it right now and it's great albeit a little feature-less. I'll run this until I dare jumping to CM
(The vanilla rom I'm running is the m3dd0g's v2 one together with the proper kernel by Ausdim, in case you wanna try those out)
m3dd0g's rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340783

Do not try Android 4.3 if you want root. In can currently not be rooted and it's almost exactly the same as 4.2 (the 4.3 one is a leak so it's expected to act funnily and not have a lot of features).
Cheers.
I am looking for a reliable AOSP rom. im not tryint to start an arguement about who thinks what is better i appreciate all devs and the work they put into their roms. I just am sick of TW and really want to get back to AOSP but with all of the 4.4.2 roms out now their are a lot of issues are there any roms that you guys recommend? (4.3?) Things that i need are MMS and Netflix. Thanks again. And again not wanting to start any arguments.
Everyone has their own opinions and preferences. And each device is different. It's better for you to try it out yourself and find out which one you like. I believe this thread will be lock any time now.
