Does anyone know where I can find the stock KitKat TouchWiz ROM for the SGH-I747 (Galaxy S4 on AT&T)? I am looking to root but want to keep my current ROM. As of now I like TouchWiz on KitKat and the battery life is good so it doesn't matter. Or is there a way I can root without flashing a new ROM?

Well, the i747 is the Galaxy S3. If you are looking for a kitkat rom for that, you should probably check the galaxy s3 forums.
If you meant the i337, which is the galaxy s4 for ATT, then there is still no root. You would need to flash a ROM. Sounds like this is the one you are looking for... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825

The Omega roms are EXCELLENT, there are two versions of it one for the i9500 series
and the other for the i9505. If you have a i9505 phone do not try flashing the i9500 rom
or you will get a soft brick or worst and if your phone is a i9500 do not flash i9505 roms.
Touchwiz 4.3 roms are still very experimental and you will have many issues with it if you flash it.
You will end up flashing a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom rom.
But it's up to you.
If you don't mind having issues with the phone and if you like experimenting that's a different story.
All in all the Omega 4.2.2 based Jellybean rom is what I would prefer, everything in it works great
and is flawless. It has all the bells and whistles which make the galaxy s4 such a great phone.
Here is the link for the Omega v12 custom rom for the i9505 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
And here is the link for the Omega v14.1 custom rom for the i9500 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887
Be sure to flash the right one for your phone & before flashing make a nandroid backup & be sure to do a full wipe before flashing.
Good luck!

I am just guessing since you posted in the i337 section this is what you have. Plus if you wait a bit I read VisionX (Ax) is gonna put out a 4.3 rom today for the i337.

If you have a i747 you are in the wrong forum for downloading roms.
None of the Samsung Galaxy S4 roms will work with a Samsung i747 phone.
The i747 phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which means that none of the roms
found in any of the Samsung Galaxy S4 forums or threads would be compatible with it.
So in other words my original post has nothing to do with a Galaxy S3 i747 phone.
The i9500 and or the i9505 roms will work with your i747 phone.
All questions regarding Galaxy S3 i747 belong in the Galaxy S3 forums and threads.
Good luck!
Sorry I knew what I was saying and MEANT i337. I was just in the i747 thread and must have had my old S3 on my brain... Old Mans brainfart.
So to reiterate if you have a i337/m do NOT flash the international i9500 as it will probabky brick your device. You shoukd be able to flash the i9505 international though. Or like I was trying to say Ax from the i337 forum is going to be posting a 4.3 international i9505 based rom today. Sorry for the mixup from above but it still stands... DO NOT flash the exyernos model i9500 firmware... period. You may be okay with i9505
I edited the above comments so it doesnt give out wrong info to future readers. I replaced my brain farted i747 comments baxk to where my brain should have been thinking to i337

So to be very clear. As a user stuck with mf3, root obtained, and running safestrap I can use the new i9505 based 4.3 tw rom axman is about to release? The fact that its based on the mj5 only denotes that it is for the i9505 correct?

Hello,
I have the SCH-i545 and I would like to root and install cyanogenmod. But I have the Verizon update to 4.3 which locked the bootloader. How would I install cyanogenmod on my Galaxy S4? I love my S4 and plan on getting the Note 4 when it comes out because it will be awesome but I really don't like touchwiz. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Right now the only way to get the s5 ui and look is on all the 4.4.2 roms.
This guy's rom has alot of S5 stuff in it. Sorry I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.

Is it possible to run a ROM like CM11 or omni on a rooted S4 AT&T with a SS recovery?

Right now it is not possible to run AOSP/AOKP ROMS even with SS. We can only run TouchWiz based and GPE ROMs.

I'm hoping for something to be released soon but at the moment it isn't possible.
Can anyone please tell me the best ROM to use to get as close to the Lollipop UI and features. I am using the Galaxy S4 I337 AT&T with safestrap. Most ROMS that I have tried will not work or wont boot up. Is there any Lollipop ROM's for the 9505 that will work, cause I know that some roms will work for the I337. Thanks averyone!

No lollipop will work until it's released officially for the ATT S4. Then safestrap will needed updated to work. Then you'll have a custom ROM with lollipop.

What about a port from the 9505? I know I cannot get the official Lollipop, but something that looks similar.

No. There doesn't exist a lollipop tw kernel that will work with your bootloader.

There are GPE lollipop ROMs for the s4 (I'm using both) but they won't work on safestrap.

So far the closest thing I can find to Lollipop is Goldfinger 9.0. It is a pretty nice ROM and WiFi works as well!
