Hello guys!
Just a quick question, why can we saw a few number of ROM?
I mean, de don't see a lot of CM Based ROM or AOSPA Legacy ROM. Have you got an idea ? Maybe it's an hardware issue?
Thanks a lot!

Cyanogenmod is working on a rom for the G900F and maybe other Qualcomm based variants, only the camera and nfc needs some work afaik. If those issues are resoved we will have CM/AOSP roms soon. The Exynos variant will probably not be supported though. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755697 for more info.

There are actually a large number of custom ROMs available for a new device that has only been available for a few months. Why you would expect more is a mystery. There is official CM and ASOP ROMs, as well as myriad non ASOP ROMs. And no doubt the number of ROMs will increase over time.
It's not clear if you just haven't searched to see what is available or if you perhaps have unrealistic expectations.
.
Why I expect more? It's just that when I have a new phone - for personnal or profesionnal use - I like to see every ROMs which are created or ported. Even if I install only one or two of them, I like to see every works.
After my XPERIA Z1 and my Galaxy S4, I saw an incredible number of ROMs. Slim, Carbon, Cyanogen, Paranoid, and other...
It was just a question to know "why" there is only few ROM, nothing more.
Personaly, I would like to keep my Stock I guess, but I like to test CM, AOSPA and sometimes Slim.
:highfive:
Thanks for your answer.

The AOSP and cyanogen Roms which are available all of them have camera issues and other bugs. Why is it so?
Is it impossible to run AOSP on s4 i9500? If yes, then why so?
Is it because developers are slacking and just dont want to make a AOSP custom rom for s4 i9500 or there is something which limits developer from making AOSP avialable for s4 i9500. maybe samsung hasnt given tools or drivers to developers.
All the custom roms available for s4 i9500 . They all have written at the end of the thread that The rom is based on Stock firmware.
What is a firmware? Isnt it same as kernel?
Yeah I know I am total noob.

Don't panic, I can see ROMs based on AOSP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop
I have personally never seen a i9500 so I beleive they are just not that common or shipped to countries where there is a lack of devs. How about cooking your own? I've started to develop my own ROM which I'm using right now.
Firmware is a full system
The kernel also partly firmware
The kernel is the core of android
If no kernel will not boot
Note: sorry if i am wrong
I9500 has an exynos chipset which had been looked down by Samsung. This has been the case since the Galaxy S2. AOSP Roms exist for the i9500 but they won't be the most stable things you will try, so you are better off staying with the original software or a rom based on the original software.

Developing your own ROM is cool thing. That's what I will be doing after my next month exams.. I dont actually own a s4 i9500 but my cousin has it. I have xolo a500s. It's pretty looking device. I would like to port 4.4 kitkat AOSP rom on it.. :victory:

Thanks for replying. I think you are right. Firmware = rom + kernel.

Yeah that's it. Samsung doesn't share the full source code of it's exynos chip. half of the sourcecode is closed source. They just don't give the full source code to the developers. That's why developers fail to make custom kernels and roms.
But now I wonder why do samsung do this? Maybe they dont want other phone makers to know their unique performance tweaks which they have put in sourcecode.
Lesson learnt never buy Exynos powered device. Always try to get snapdragon powered device.
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.
Hi all,
I'm new on the S4.. I currently use the optimized CM version based on 5.1.1 but I'm not happy with it.. Too many bugs.. I just want to ask you which is currently the best stable rom for my device.. Of course I know that Marshmallow isn't stable.. So I'm looking for a good 5.X rom..
Thanks!
[jflte] gpe 5.0
Does it have a good battery drain? I don't find anything about it in the thread ..
I'm using AOSP 6.0.1 from JDCTeam and I'm absolutely happy with it. I never had any problem with it. Before I used various 5.x ROMS and had problems over problems.
Hope I could help you (even if it's not 5.x)
Both CM 12.1 snapshot and current CM13 nightly are quite stable. So if your phone has bugs running these ROMs, chances are you did something wrong or it is hardware problem.
Optimised CM by JDC is a great rom but since there are too many tweaks / mods in this rom, stability is quite subjective. If you want stable rom, go for stock CM.

there are only two places it could be... http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...dcteam-android-source-project-mra58v-t3251663
The link provided by 3mel is correct. That's the ROM I'm currently using.
(I don't have enough posts yet to post links, otherwise I'd have posted it for you).
Hi there guys , there so much diferents ROMs here
And wanted to know what are the best 5, in terms of fluidity, battery and functionality?
Well, there's no best, only favorites. A ROM that runs great for me on my device may be a problem for others (VertexOS is a good example).
For the record my favorite on the Axon 7 is Dark ROM.
ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, Dirty Unicorns UNOFFICIAL v11.7.2 ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5
With the exception of MIUI 9 I have tested just about every ROM that's currently in development for the Axon 7. I always end up coming back to DARK ROM because it combines the simplicity and smoothness of LineageOS with a few extra features, such as OMS support and bypassing the PIN unlock on reboot.
ROMs differences.
Instead of creating yet another thread, I'll just hijack this one if that's alright with you guys .
Can somebody give me a rundown of the pros and cons of AOSP and LOS based ROMs in comparison to stock?
I know that camera apps won't work properly on custom ROMs and that there used to be some issue with the DAC, but that seems to have been patched since then (on LOS at least), is that right?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the recommendation!
LineageOS was utter crap back in February, but it's gotten a long way since. I believe Lineage + BeastMode Kernel is awesome for performance (not so much for battery though)
hello,
I have seen a topic here before about AOSP based ROM for S8(Exynos), but still can't find any after all that time.
So i was wondering if anyone or any team is working on it? or anyone want to?
I really like AOSP and if i know that no one working on it, maybe i'll teach myself and do it.
Unofficial port is available for s8 but alot of bugs its alpha... Not usabld as a daily driver...dont bother to flash
