I'm looking for a stable ROM for my friend's S4. He wants something different to the stock bloated experience but he's not into flashing or anything of this sort. So I'm looking for a ROM that I can flash to his device that doesn't need too much tweaking or updating, so he can forget about it and just use it as his daily driver. His device it's already rooted with cwm recovery. It doesn't has to be something out of this world, but at least something that won't give him much bugs with a daily basic use.

I'll try the Goldeneye one, it's debloated and it's still stock so it'll be of ease use for my friend and he'll like the extra space and fluidity.

It is up to user preference. Each ROM is different and has its own bugs/quirks, as does each phone. While we may have the exact same device, they all have their own personalities.

Give them some time. We have several Devs with this device that are known for making the roms that you speak of. You don't want a rushed product.

Could a modified Touchwiz rom take up much less space than the stock one? I like a lot of things about the S4's TW, but it's also tempting to go to CM or similar and free up a few GB.

Apparently this wicked rom is ~400mb less than stock. I just finally downloaded and flashed, everything's good so far, just setting everything up

/system and /data are different partitions. Debloated ROMs use less space, but it is still stuck on the /system partition. Now you can move some apps to /system if you want but right now no one has repartitioned the S4 (and if you did it could mess s lot of stuff up

I have fat fingers excuse me please...(didn't mean to hit thank button 2x) sometimes its just best to back up your current ROM and just flash the ROM your curious about and check it out yourself. You may even love the ROM whether that app works for you or not.

thank you guys for the answers!
I'm new to android. Just got a S4 l337 few weeks ago. I've my phone rooted, CWM loki'd. I'm now not sure which ROM I should be installing. I want clean, smooth and stable ROM. Pls suggest me one. I'm using T-mobile BTW. Thanks a lot
Touchwiz roms are located in the Android Development section and aosp roms can be found in the original development section. Read upand try out a few (assuming you've already made a backup).
These "which rom is best?" threads are usually shut down quickly. It's best to just form your own opinion on which rom works best for you.
Cheers

No one can answer that for you. You'd have to try out both to see how they fit to your liking.
Carbon or LiquidSmooth all the way!

It's been a while since I checked out ROMs for the G2. I remember most, if not all, ROMs were kit kat versions based on the JB source and different radios were required to correct some issues.
With 4.4 source being out for a while now, are there any 4.4 based ROMs for the G2 yet? If so, what are some?

don't know not a fan of aosp roms on my g2 mainly because of the features available on stock that aren't on aosp
main reason you don't see sokp around the main thread is because they decided to post device specific threads and reason you may have not heard of it is because they lack ls980 support but you just want to look at rom here you go:
d800 sokp
just by looking at features section you can see they offer tons of options

Yeah, SOKP is the sonic open Kang project. Their ROM is literally PACKED with features. It's a little buggy at times. I think last time I used it my screen would become unresponsive and I'd have to reboot. May have been a modem issue though, not sure. It's still based on 4.2 source instead of 4.4. Just hacked to run kit Kat.
