custom rom advice for galaxy s4 i9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
sorry if this has been asked before but what is the best custom rom to install on my phone?
thanks in advance for any replies

There is no such thing as a best ROM.
There is only your favorite ROM.
Best is subjective and depends on the user. Do you want touchwiz or stock android? Do you want speed and performance or great battery life? Do you want to theme it? What features do you want/need? Do you want it to work right away or do you want to tweak it to make it totally custom?
These are questions only you can answer.
The best option for you and the greatest learning experience is to read the threads in the development forum and learn about the different options. Pick a couple ROMs that sound like they might be good for you and flash each one for a few days and test it. See what features you like or dislike. And tweak your final ROM selection based on that.
That is the ONLY way to make sure you get the best ROM for YOU

whats is the best (cooked or uncooked) rom?

please help me to find the best rom. i tried many roms but most of the consumes battery so quickly that i have to unflash them quick.
wishlist:
1- Longest possible battery *Important*
2- must be stable... no bugs
3- Limited amount of softwares installed. i love to install my own favorite ones.
4- prefer rom built using leo 2.10 (for HTC E-Reader)
5- desirable WM 6.5.5
6- desirable HTC E-Reader (tab is optional. App will do)
all you experience guys please help... its really difficult for me to choose one and i have already nearly bricked my mobile so a little bit scared to keep flashing every rom...
Thanks in advance
you're gonna get a lot of people annoyed that you started a thread like this
it's a personal choice
i don't see why instead of going into the correct section and reading the first three lines of the available ROM's you started your own thread specifying what it is that you want
ROM DEVELOPMENT
ITS ALL THERE!
Before the thread gets locked, I'll tell you that you need to wait 2-3 days before passing judgment on battery life. It takes about 2-3 full charge/discharge cycles before the ROM 'calibrates.' The first use after ROM flash will almost always give you terrible battery life.
its a general question about choosing the best ROM. it has nothing to do with rom development. i think this is the best area to ask question... i thankfully appreciate that many people are spending enormous time on developing roms but i think i have right to choose the one that suits my needs...
but i think i have right to choose the one that suits my needs...

then stop asking which rom suits everyone elses needs and go find what works best for you, best advice i can give
and although it is the best area to ask this question, it has been asked a billion times before
true but they are all dated now
mate, in the rom development section, click on a rom, and on the first post it will say what it does
for example laurentius has good battery life
artemis is windows5.5 and very stable
cleanex and leolite have been stripped to make it faster
duttys has been tweaked for speed
they all say what they do

Why are all the threads about what is the best rom dated????
because the mods lock them. every single one of them.
why? because there is no best rom.
every rom suits someones needs. so every rom is for someone the best rom.
read all the threads and in every single rom thread you will find people saying that that rom is the best rom.
as said before a rom is personal. read the fisrt few posts and try a few. you will find yours then.
seems like leolite is going to be my rom i am downloading and hoping that it will be stable and less hungry on the battery...
thansk for quick tips guys

[Q] List of Roms

Yo doods,
Is there a list anywhere of good roms for the Galaxy Note with Pros and cons or features that they either have or dont have.
Basically i want a really nice stable rom with BLN, I'm on alliance rom at the minute and am happy but i like trying out new roms and really want BLN.
Cheers :victory:

Is this a silly question?

There is no list of ROMs. Go into the Development section, study up, and try a few on for size.

[Q] Setup for a New Comer!

Hey guys, i just wanna ask for a good rom, i want a rom with Good Battery Life, Better performance than stock also a good Kernel for all this, ive searched and so far majority of people ive seen run P.A and Franco's Kernel, however P.A is on 4.3 and i would love to hop in with 4.4 , also it has some features i like, mainly all i want is Halo and "Expanded Desktop", with pie functionality.
Anyone got any good ideas, ive looked at Purity, which has everything i want except Halo, so is their any way to get that.
Also can i dupe the awesome performance seen in RastaKat
Thanks in advance, and sorry for all these questions!, im new...

Asking for a "good" ROM/Kernel is another way of asking for a "best" which is not allowed on XDA. Please head over to the development section and see which "best" suits your needs.

what is the best echoe rom for a galaxy S4 I9505

Hi All
I really like the Echoe roms but was wondering which Rom is the best for your battery life?
thanks

Try it out for yourself. This question is not allowed here, because there is no best.

Then they don't know what they are talking about. There is no big difference between roms in battery life. There can be a difference, but that comes from how the user uses his phone and/or if it's an AOSP rom or the rom uses a different kernel with maybe some tweaks.
Every rom that claims that it has the best battery life, the fastest and the smootest is lying. They can never prove it and a good rom doesn't need those claims
1) Use the latest one unless you read something that would justify using an older echoe rom.
2) Do NOT ask for a 'best rom' on XDA, ever. This WILL be shut down.
3) What is the best? One with all TW features, the fastest, the slimmest, the longest battery, the most processing power, more gpu, less gup, more apps, less bloatware, more features? There is no such thing.
Do NOT ask for an ETA, do not ask for a best ROM. Read the XDA charter or watch the intro video (it's like 90 seconds long).
I'm not trying to have a go at you, but if you don't read the basic stuff here you perhaps should not be flashing ROMs on your phone. The best advice for rooting/installing/flashing is always read, read and read some more.
Mod Edit
"Best" 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.

Best Kitkat rom out now?

From personal experience what is the best kitkat rom out right now? I know there quite alot out of them but I'd rather not be going through all of them. I'd prefer what you guys are using. Also would like to know why you think its the best?
Hows the battery life, performance and what are the bugs in these roms?
Thanks in advance
Sorry, but "best" ROM threads are not allowed. Please just try the ROMs for yourself, everyone's experience is different.
