So I wanted to install a GE 4.3 Rom onto my AT&T S4 however I am finding it difficult to find one due to the fact that there are so many versions of it from different developers. I just want the most stable and most up to date 4.3 GE rom for my S4. I'm still new to the forums so I'm also having some trouble navigating so if anyone could link me to the best or most recommended build of the GE 4.3 rom that would be much appreciated!
I personally like Kangabean

There is an entire Google Edition thread in the General section. Check out out and see what most folks over there are using. Cheers
also, you don't list your phone variant/carrier
when flashing the i9505 roms you need to flash the correct carrier kernel
and maybe even loki-doki
sorry if you are already aware of this, just putting it out--
check the original android development tab for this devices forum, many of the roms have updated to 4.3

Hello guys,
I bought the samsung galaxy s5 lte-a/prime (g906k) 2 weeks ago and Im getting sick of touchwiz even with a custom launcher on it. I would like to ask if anyone knows of any custom rom based on stock android. I've searched without luck. Is there any rom planned to get released or maybe a dev could port one to this s5 version ? I really need help, cant stick with this toy world color ui anymore

Hey all, I usually don't do this as I've seen some other people bi*****g about development on this phone and how it's stalled. I am NOT saying that at all, was just wondering if anyone is/doing/going to develop a TW (since no AOSP ) ROM that looks like AOSP? Somewhat like @nitroglycerine33's Eclipse? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840
Or if anyone knows how to and would like to, I have some people who are very interested in having ROM(s) out there like this and can donate. Thanks
try raffaeles88 foxhound rom.. it's the closest one to aosp.. ?

I'm going to make two assumptions: 1) you're on Verizon and 2) you don't have a developer edition phone. If that is the case you can only flash TW based ROMs made for the Retail version of the S5. Having said that there is one ROM I'm told that comes pretty close to an AOSP look and feel and that is the Alliance ROM. I have not flashed that ROM, but reading through the threads in the Android Development section there seems to be a lot of happy users of that ROM. On the other hand, if you want a very lean, debloated, fast ROM with great battery life and everything works (all essential functions) there is the Syndicate ROM which as near to the pure Android experience as possible (hard to tell it's TW based). Both these ROMs can be flashed through SafeStrap or if you have a Dev Edition S5 just flash through TWRP. Unless you have a Developer Edition S5 you're not going to be able to flash any of the available AOSP ROMs...it just isn't going to happen without an unlocked bootloader and no one has broken that "code" yet.

Lol well the first assumption should be easy as i posted in Verizon general S5. And an obvious yes for the 2nd as i know the only aosp roms are for the dev ed. Alliance rom is nice but too big and many things with stock ugly 4.4 colors

"Since no AOSP"? Lol seriously I'm confused. Does he want an AOSP rom or an AOSP rom that looks like TouchWiz or a TouchWiz rom that looks like AOSP? What is life?

The OP was quite easy to understand. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader I want a TW ROM that looks like aosp, hence the link to my old favorite ROM from when I had the s4 I put there as reference. He might not be getting an S5 so I just wanted to see if someone could get in touch with him and Maybe get some permissions to do that or w/e..

Well now that i see from my computer rather than phone i guess it's general S5 which is silly that when i click on general under the verizon section it doesnt have it's own section. oh well
It wold be awesome to port this to G900F also. It's the most beautiful TW AOSP theme I have ever seen. Damn you made me regret my old S4 lol. Pure AOSP look with TW Camera...
I follow you, if someone is willing, I would donate for this kind of work.
I will like too a tw with AOSP look

Well, I've learned on this site that not everything is obvious all the time. I've seen T-Mobile and ATT users posting question to this site. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm, but I must agree, if I had read your profile a little closer I wouldn't have had to make any assumptions. My answer, however, remains the same.

Hello to everyone, I'm new in rooting and flashing but I tried sometimes. Now I'm on stock lollipop 5.0 I tried unroot as I saw on you tube but I can't get ota updates anymore even after wipe data reset etc. My fingerprint scanner is not working and also the camera is blacked sometimes. I wanna ask if I can solve all this and also if there is a fast and smooth rom with no problems. I read something about the zombie rom which is like s6. I hate touchwiz and maybe the new one is better. Can anyone give some advise?

Try wiping and flashing a stock rom in Odin. As for fast and smooth roms, the fastest roms are usually CyanogenMod or it's forks. I wouldn't recommend Zombie rom, as it has some basic bugs which need to be ironed out. And it's still running standard S5 touchwiz (plus some nice S6 mods and apps).
Basically if you want a stable, fast and non-touchwiz rom CM is the way to go.
Otherwise it's all very individual and depends on how you use your device, so the best way to know is to try for yourself. Threads about the "best rom" are usually forbidden. Also, since you say that you're a newbie I highly recommed to take some time to read ALL OF THE STICKY THREADS in each section of the S5 forum. Reading them usually helps A LOT. :good:

I gave up searching custom rom for Galaxy A5 sm-500g variant. I regret buying this phone ..At last I had to post a new thread for this. Dont know whether this is a right place Can't understand why developers still quiet of its development...CAN nY one help? ?????
There is sadly no development for this variant. My advice is to sell it and buy a good phone with good developer support and custom ROMS. I'm gonna do the same.
