[Discussion] How have you mod'd your S4? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I'm just wondering if we can get a general mod thread going. What are you guys running?
I'm on stock 4.3 Rogers firmware with bloatware removed and rooted. I have a ton of xposed framework, I'll edit them in later. Also check this link out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341709
Lets get a discussion going on all the fun things you've done to your phone.
If this thread is unwanted of violates anything, moderator just delete it and PM me.

As there are specific rom threads, along with individual mod threads, will shut this one down as there are already plenty of threads regarding this topic.
Threads like these turn into what rom is best arguments, and members are encouraged to try all the roms and setups to determine what is best for them.
As XDA is not a support site, members should read, study, download and flash (aka interact) in the specific rom threads in the development sections.

4.4.2 KitKat "clean" ROM?

I am looking for a Rom based on the 4.4.2 Kitkat stock ROM from Samsung and keeping TouchWiz but getting rid of all the bloatware/useless crap I don't want/need.
There was one here linked on the forum, based on 4.2.2 but it no longer supports S4 for the later versions.
Does anybody else have any good recomendations?
Obviously, needs to support i337.
Thanks!
XDA is a development site not a support site, members are expected to do their own research, read through the development threads, and decide what is BEST for them.
Please take the time to read through those development threads, learn all about the software there is for use, and interact with members in those threads as you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device.

[q] best custom rom

i am a newbiee here. i would like to ask all the galaxy s4 users that which is the best rom for I9500, both 4.3 and 4.4 ?
i want to know one kitkat and one jellybean rom which is debloated, better battery life and tweaks with better ram management.
"Best" threads aren't allowed on XDA, friend. You need to review the original post of the ROMs available for your device and see what suits your needs. It's also a good idea to check the last couple pages of posts to see recent user feedback.
Cheers!
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.

Hi. I would like to be a tester. I have many years of basic custom-rom flashing experience on three mobile phones. Can follow any instructions for debugging/taking debug-logs.
Why they don't add our device into the devices list? There's the G20 but not out G22
i would like to be a tester , I have many years flashing roms whit moto g22 have 1 year and ready for give help if it possible
I would love to. I've got a spare hawaiip i'm not using at the moment, and feel quite comfortable with the task as I used to cook my own roms.

I would like to see a version of LoS for our device, preferably based on android 13 or newer depending on when it is made.

[CLOSED] Will the changes and custom rom i haveinstalled stay if i unroot my phone?

I have a galaxy s10+ and i rooted it and installed a custom rom and did a few changes. The question is that, will those changes and the custom rom stay/retain after i unroot my phone? i used Magisk app if that helps.
I actually changed my phone's imei number. But a few days ago somehow my phone automatically got unrooted, i even tested it with root checkers and also Magisk says not rooted too But the thing is that the imei is not changed and is working fine.
For that reason, i haven't let the phone die or restart it since then because im scared that something might go wrong i.e. Changes get reverted, boot loop and etc. Someone else did the root and imei change for which is why i dont really know much about this stuff.
Any help will be appreciated
