[Q] S4 I9500 Stock Android Rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I just got a s4 i9500 and I want to install a stock 4.4.2 Android rom. I would like to know that which rom should I install. I don't use the censors on the phone, I just want a rom that runs smooth like Nexus 5. I found CyanogenMod that is 4.4.2. Should I install it? Or do you know a better rom?
And one last thing, what features will be missing (like censors or multiwindow) when I install a stock Android rom?
Thanks so much if you answer. ^^

Do you mean official ROM or custom? There is no custom 4.4.2. But there is indeed an AOSP Cyanogenmod 4.4.2. It lacks touchwiz features but is amazing.You can activate some touchwiz features using xposed. If you want official one, just today Kitkat 4.4.2 has rolled out for I9500.

Yeah I mean the AOSP rom. I installed CM11 and it's exactly what I want. But I want some features back like NFC. How can I get that. I couldnt find an NFC setting in this rom. Simply, where can I find Xposed compatible with CM11?

Any 4.3 Rom wehre smart settings for S4 included?

Hi guys,
since i have the problem that widgets are freezing and I can't find a solution to the problem I want to flash another rom that includes also the smart settings for S4 (smart scroll, smart stay, smart pause)... so I guess I have to pick a samsung based rom?
Are there already some Android 4.3 roms available?
Im on stock rom atm.

[Q] Google Edition based ROMs and Safestrap

Hello! I am running 4.3 MK2 on my galaxy s4 and I want to root and use a custom ROM. I understand that you must use safestrap and I am trying to consider my options for roms. I found This ROM which is based on the Google Edition, but has some AOSP features. Would I be able to install this ROM safely using safestrap because it is based on the Google Edition instead of AOSP? I have done a little searching around and haven't been able to find a clear answer about this.
No, you can only install 4.3 Touchwiz roms. 4.3 Google editions rom may eventually work, but currently seems to only cause bootloops.

[Q] Is there an AOSP ROM?

I want to know if exist an AOSP rom or similiar, how much stock possible =)
This is exactly what I am waiting to root and install a custom recovery for.
CM11 is as close as your gonna get unless you build it yourself

Is it better to install a custom rom or contunue with the stock rom??

Which rom is the best and most stable and also of latest android version for G900F.
Use a custom ROM that is a debloated version of a stock ROM. That way you will get a genuine stock ROM experience without the crap.

Can this be done coming from stock marshmallow 6.0.1 rom? I'm using g900f btw
Yes you can do with 6.0.1 but for 4.4 there is more customization available... I prefer 4.4 on rooted phone but if you want 6.0.1 you can do with that too..
Please give me a fast link of kitkat for galaxy g900h
All links on the internet are slow or broken

[Q] TouchWiz ROM on latest Android Version? [I9505]

Hello Internet,
Up 'til now I've been using Albe95's amazing Lollirom V9.0 on my I9505 which uses Android 5.0.1. I've recently been looking to update my ROM but can only find later [N/O] Android versions from AOSP or AOKP or CM, but nothing with Touchwiz.
I was wondering if there is one and I've just missed it, or if it's impossible, or if I can do it myself?
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR Is there a TW Nougat/Oreo ROM?
There is no custom TW-based ROM after LP as Samsung never released one for any s4. I believe a TW ROM based on MM, N, and O ROMs would require a corresponding Samsung kernel for the S4 that doesn't exist.
