S4 is too young to have yet 100% stock features on any cooked ROM. For example, now I am running my old S2 with 4.3 CM10.2 and even not 100% features (sound in dock and HDMI out doesn't work, but it is not a problem form me even having got an HDMI adapter...).
As my S2, I am sure my S4 will end its days with any CMxx or similar cooked ROM, but now it is too soon.
The question is, why would prefer to loose features just to have kit kat now (I really believe we will have it before 2 or 3 month).

Lot of people like to have stock S4 camera app on CM or Kitkat rom including me. I've searched here, and there's only camera port for Google Edition 4.3 rom, but without complete feature, still can't be everyday use. I end up using stock pre-root 4.3 rom; has everything samsung advertised, better battery, more stable than CM and just born kitkat rom. I'm looking to try kitkat again if the camera work good and rom has no other issue.

the most important advice is "patience". you've got to set things into perspective: if you want kitkat, give developers some time, they can't work miracles (most of the time, that is)... pulling such a big system all together takes time, and most custom roms only started offering nightlies for the i9505... they really arent meant for people wanting things to run smoothly ...

[Q] Custom ROM, which and why?

Hi, I wanted to try a costum ROM on my note 3 because the official note 3 ROM has a lot of unwanted apps that just fills up my memory.
Looking on the threads, I see a lot of custom ROMs available that doesn't make it easy to start. So my question is which costum ROM do you prefer and why will you recommend me to get that one? Thank you in advanced!!

Just in case, my model is the one on the screen shot

Why don't you start with one where you understand the instructions .

I'd say go for Temasek's CM12.1 AOSP ROM. It's MUCH smaller than any stock Rom, & support is pretty good and it FLIES. I've now posted 2 Antutu scores over 49,000 - and I know benchmark scores are not real life performance but I never got over a 44,000 in any stock ROM.
If you want to stay based in stock, a very good custom ROM is Alliance ROM - think it's at v8.1 now.
HOWEVR, and this applies no mater what ROM you look at... READ, READ, READ... Learn what rooting is, learn about Recovery and why Odin on the PC is necessary. The more you understand about what you are trying to do the less likely you are to be posting back in the Q&A with... "Help! My phone is bricked!"

As you can see I have a exynos Chip so I need a ROM compatible to that.
I had done flashing in the passed when I have my Samsung Galaxy Duos so I have read a bit. But there are soooooooo much ROMs now that I dared to ask the question

Your choice of roms for N900 is limited to these .

After root,
you can install AdAway, Xposed (not 100% stable in Touchwiz based ROMs), Servicely, etc
Also you have loads of ROMs like, AryaMod (TW based), Liquidsmooth, CM12 nightlies (few have connectivity issues with Wear) etc
You can flash themes once you root and install a customer recovery like Philz or TWRP
You can find all info in Development and Apps & Themes threads...

You can expect full access to your device.

You can do a lot of things, basically endless amount of stuffs. Your demand will continue to go high and more high, that's the only bad part about rooting a phone
Just some examples would be, AdAway (make your phone completely Ad free), then Xposed modules, Wanam Xposed, XPrivacy and so many others.
About ROMs or Kernels, well, you can't ask which ROM is best as per some XDA rule, but I would suggest you stay on Stock based ROMs. Just flash any Deodexed version (give a look at Alexander's topic, those are basically stock ROM, Deodexed, and without bloats), install a kernel of your liking, CivZ I will suggest, (you can stay on stock if you like), then install those apps and have fun.
As for S6/ Note 4 based ROMs, I don't want to comment about all that. If my experience servers me anything then no ported ROM could be as stable as a ROM meant for Note 3 only. You might have fun with those ported ROMs, for a month, a couple of month maybe, but then you will start to notice small issues and it might annoy you, and that's certainly not my cup of tea. But if you are okay with all that then go on, no problem at all.

No issues of overheating or battery drain outs so far.

Best stock modified rom

Hello Friends...
I have a s4 i9505 and am not new to samsung as i already own a i9301I....
I want to ask which one is the most stable rom of all for the i9505...
I dont want any noughat rom..
Just A Simple stock modified or some Marshmallow with the latest feature...
Already seen many Roms on the youtube. some are s7 roms and some n5 etc.
Any suggestion for a rom that is smooth as well as Battery Friendly!!
Thanks.

The S4 never got a stock Marshmallow update. So you're stuck with Lollipop ROMs that look a bit like the S6 or not.

I am currently on the stock 4.4.2 and want to switch to a rom that doesnot loose the stock features and i am also not been able to update to 5.0... so now i will try and root my device and then try any stock modified roms...
if u have any suggestions then u r welcome to tell!!!
but the one with the best batterylife will b much appreciated!!

While I don't generally reply to "best ROM" posts, I can tell you that all the stock-based ROMs with I believe the exception of Imperium ROM are no longer supported. Since I'm not interested in keeping my S4 up to date thanks to having a newer device I threw Thor 1.5 (Android 5.0.1) on it and put it away. For a Touchwiz ROM it isn't too bad.

Then go to goldfinger custom ROM as a 4.4.2 kk.
