Looking to move away from the Touchwiz ROMs as I had nothing but problems with them, including sd card unexpectedly removed.
Currently on OmegaROM v17 4.3 and on International S4 9505
Which is the cleanest Google Edition ROM out there along with the latest Android version?

Hello everyone,
So I really want to make my S4 a google edition because the batter will be alot better. However, the only thing stopping me is Samsung awesome Camera. Any ideas? What you all think is it worth it??
Thanks
Definitely go with the i9505. You have the option to flash a GE rom if you really want to and also all the custom Touchwiz roms on offer.
I think you may be able to flash Touchwiz roms on the i9505G but all roms in the i9505 forums flash straight on to the phone without needing any modification to updater-script or kernels.
and IMO Touchwiz is actually really good on battery, certainly better than the GE rom's I've tried but of course that's subject to use
You definitely have more options with the 9505. And actually the ROMs aren't that great. From my experience TW ROMs have the best battery life from all ROMs, GE and CM included.

Thanks for the input that is what I was expecting!
Can you guys clarify which versions are which.

The i9505G is the Google Edition of the SGS4. At this point it is only able to run Google Edition ROMs which are pretty much stock Android. There are ways to get CM working but you have to modify things to get it working Afaik there are some people working on a TW port for this version.
The i9505 is the official Samsung version which runs TW. But it can also run Goolge Edition ROMs and AOSP based ROMs e.g. CM or PA without any modifications.

I have an international version of the S4, the jfltexx version. I justflashed it with Jamal's 4.3 GE ROM.
Is my device considered i9505G now?
If i want to install a custom recovery, must I get versions that are for i9505G? (I am assuming i9505 version will not work too well now)

No it stays an i9505. The i9505G has a different bootloader etc. So only by flashing a GE ROM on an i9505 you won't get an i9505G.

Hi I got a question to ask.. I been trying out a few custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod etc. And no ROMs seems to be fit for me.
I always seem to find bugs in each ROM which makes me go back to stock ROM. But the Google play edition ROM seems to be really cool.
I wanted to to know would it be possible in install the original s4 google play edition rom , not one which has been tweeked but the original on s4 gt 19505 LTE. Thank you.
I initially used Jamal's gpe then tried danvdh gpe link both of which are extremely good IMHO, although the latter version is still fully supported so I would have to go for that version?
They aren't totally untweaked but are as close as possible to the original as far as I can see ?
Best of luck

Like the title already says i am looking for the best ROM for the Galaxy S4 to use everyday so it has to be stable and bugfree.
The reason why i dont want the stock touch wiz rom anymore is that it lets only 9gb free on my 16 gb model.
Please recommend me ROMs that are reliable and if possible also with the ability to move Apps to the SD Card.
Thanks and greetings
Any rom is stable and no rom is bugfree.
Couldnt you have posted in one of the 3268 existing best ROM threads

Best as in what the hell is subjectivity.
I would recommend
Lollipop german version.
Echoerom.
But for you. Try the cm12 alucard and antaresone's rom. I find it refreshing . Bonus: it's like 400mb in total. Including gapps.:good:
I find the GPE roms to be very good.
I tried the CM12 Optimzed builds and faced several problems.
With the GPE roms I've never had any trouble. Also have great battery life.
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.
Hi guys,
So after a break I am going back to the S5 (currently in post) and looking forward to trying a load of roms that have been developed since my last use.
I have downloaded latest CM and LOS releases as well as some ports and stock based/modded roms to try but I'm just curious as to which stock based/modded roms you are currently using/prefer/why?
I ask because if using a Sammy rom I am likely to prefer the S5 stock modded since fingerprint scanner should work for lock or in-app like Banking and Paypal etc (Or do some of the ports also work in-app?)
This isn't supposed to be a "best rom" type thread as that is subjective. I'm just interested in what you are currently using (modded stock). There was previously (as far as I remember) an INDEX thread listing all stock based but I am unable to locate it at the moment.
So, any recommendations to try would be appreciated.
It's in my signiature. Beast, long battery life, little to no lags, but for some reason, came without CSC. Download alexndr's devbase ROM and transfer the csc folder from the devbase to the SuperLITE MM zip.

Unfortunately my S5 has just arrived and it's the Plus model (G901F) not the G900F. SuperLITE was going to be first rom I tried but looks like I can't use it? :crying:

As stated, you did not specify the model number. So, G901F lacks custom roms. THere are 1 or 2 out in the wild, but will take some time to find.
So far tried, CM, LOS, RR, Mokee...and best would be RR in terms of functionally but for some reason the N latest version gets my phone hot hot hot. Im on LOS again but thinking of going to older 6 RR.
