Hi guys
Before reading, i would like to apologize for my bad english. I'm an italian guy and this is the best I can do ^^
It's the first time I participate to the life of this great forum, and I would like to warn you that, although I have read many articles, I'm pretty noob about modding :/
Well, I start to say that at the moment I've installed a nightly Carbon Rom 4.3.1 on my i9505. It's a rly nice mod, but the fact that is based on "pure" Android makes it a little boring. To be clear, I think that TouchWiz is a more practical and intuitive interface, and so I would like to get back on a rom that he used.
I also saw OmegaRom, but Echoe seems to me very beautiful. I've noticed that is based on an unofficial samsung firmware, so I would like to know from you users if it's suggested to switch from my current rom to this one. Or is it better to wait the release of new roms 4.4.2 based on an official samsung firmware ...
So, what do you think about Echoe 14.1? Did u found bugs or problems? Are you satisfied?
Apologize for all these questions, but I would like to have certainties before changing rom ^^
PS: fell free to report me all the grammars errors, don't be too kind with me XD

Hi guys, I have been looking in the Android development part of the forum for a week now and I need help in finding the ROM suitable for me. I have flashed about eight roms in the past week and i can't find the 'one'
I need your help
I'm looking for a ROM that looks like a nexus device (UI), I have tried the Google Edition but it was too laggy, but I want to be able to customise the device fully with pre-built settings like CyanogenMod or ProBAM. For example, I don't like the stock messaging app on the Google Edition ROMS, I actually prefer the TW layout, and so it would be nice to customise that. I also want a ROM that doesn't take up too much storage, so I am future proofed, and finally I want a ROM that has good battery life.
I like the look of CyanogenMod but there aren't any stable releases and there are only nighty builds, which I'm apprehensive about, because my phone is my daily driver. I'm also confused about people saying get CyanogenMod 10.2 instead of 10.1, but when I go to the Wiki page, there is no mention of 10.1 or 10.2...?
it would be great if someone could help me
Thread closed as its a "Best ROM" thread.
I have been looking for a samsung like rom, there were tons of them available now it's all stock google 4.4 and some 4.3, I just want real stability, unfortunately this is android indeed, and I understand that stability is not something to look for, but I have been with android all my life and the stock rom for my s4 was extremely stable, I am just looking now for one like that but I cannot find anymore. Right when the phone came out there were tons of ROMS off of the samsung stock (deoxed and such) now its all stock google, where can I find really a really stable ROM for my i337m s4, been looking for weeks, nothing cuts the cake, sorry for english, not first language, and thanks for anyone who help me!
Many of the ROMs located in the android development subforum will be based on the stock firmwares. These include ROMs such SD GoldenEye, Graviton, Hyperdrive, etc.

Hello everyone
I have a I9500 with Exynos processor running android 5.0.1, Baseband- I9500DDUHOA1, Build number- XXUHOF3.
I was generally happy with My phone but all hell broke lose after last update. Battery life doesnt last more than 2-3 hours. GPS doesnt lock at all. The phone hangs too much. Wifi signal is poor.
I can factory reset the phone (Since I didnt do it since several OTA updates) but I am wondering even that might not solve the problem and I should flash some good and stable ROM.
My issue is I Dont Know which one is a good and stable ROM. There are so many options and I feel very lost. Therefore I would be thankful if anyone can guide Me to which ROM should I install. My goal is simple- a fast working stable phone. Nothing fancy required.
I have flashed ROMS on My earlier phone Galaxy S (I9000) so I am not a novice and can do it if instructions are provided in the thread.
Thanks in advance.
Fast shouldn't be an issue, since practically any custom rom is faster than touchwiz.
I don't know much about the I9500 roms since I, myself, haven an I9505. But there is a rom called ressurection remix which seems to be available for both devices. I'm running it now and its fast and stable so far.
I'm using slimkat ASOP rom and it's nice and stable
Thanks for the replies. How is the default Cynagonmod? Any good?
Cm 12.1
Default Cm is maintained by Alberto with someone else .
If you want best cm experience use his own Gearcm 11,12,12.1 builds .
They are currently at a more advanced level of development than his own official Cm builds .
All are good . Look it up in original android i9500 forum .
Try gearcm 12.1 optimized by alberto96. It is rock stable,performance is also good. U can find it in i9500 original android development. Enjoy
And also for TW based rom halcyon rom is very much popular, u can find it in i9500 android development.
Thanks a lot for replies. Would it be possible to point Me to a link for downloading and installing this. I guess I should try with Gear CM 12.1?
Hows the gps and battery life on that?

Look here on xda we expect you to find it yourself. There is an entire section dedicated to custom roms.
Hey guys!
As the s4 is not my device and I've don´t any clou about it's roms, i have to ask you.
The s4 of my gf is getting slower and slower, so I decided to put a new rom on it. I thought, that it would be cm 12.1, but I read about problems in every rom I saw.
So what is the most stable and fluid running rom out there in your opinion? It doesn't matter how many features there are included in the rom or how many updates will be coming in future. But i think 5.1.1 is a must-have.
Is it a clean stock install? Please help me

I Think Alucard's optimized cm12.1/cm13 is the best rom for i9505
Oh, didn't find the other thread from 23rd march the first time.. sorry guys!
Hello everyone,
I personally never owned a Samsung device (always Nexus and mostly with Paranoid Android or Dirty Unicorns ROM) but my girlfriend has one and she defeniately needs it to be flashed :good:
As I am completely new to Samsung devices, I have no idea about all the developers and different ROMs that are out there for the Samsung Note 4 (Snapdragon).
I don't have much time to try around with different ROMs as it isn't my phone.
I need one that is good, stable, fast (and also supports the stylus / samsung apps). So I can flash it quickly and have a happy girlfriend
So that is the reason I an asking in the first place. Else I would just flash around and keep trying until I find the best fit.
I saw CM is officially supporting the Note 4. So that one might be a good solution. But does it have all those stylus samsung stuff?
Any other ROMs I should check out?
Do I need to flash a new radio?
Thanks in advance and sorry for posting another "which ROM" thread. But I can't really test around to find out on my own as it is not my device that I am going to improve !
If n910g, this is highly recommended, although you have to disable or uninstall later all apps that you don't want if you want a debloated rom.

It is N910F.
The link you provided is simply stock android MM?
Yes stock MM, stock is in my experience the most stable and bug free rom build. But the link is for n910g unfortunately.
Stock ROM, and then debloat yourself. Quite honestly speaking, and no offence to anyone, there are no good ROMs available for Note 4. In fact I myself might have not got the phone if I realised the development section is like this. And I am not interested in ported ROMs, so even though there are many available I won't go that way, and I am too dumb to make a ROM for myself, so stock ROM it is.
I agree, stock rom rooted and debloat it, and apply msm tweaks. If you want, xposed as well.

You must flash samsung based rom to have all soen features and samsung apps. I reconnemed kurama rom which in using , its battery friendly, fast and stock based. If you going to flash kurama rom you must flash modem and bootloader for the rom to boot up (only can be flashed from pc with odin)
