AOSP back to Stock - G900H

Before I bought my G900H, I had a Galaxy Note 2 and I installed a Lollipop ROM on it and It had broken partitions and "No rom installed" in TWRP. Someone told me when im going to AOSP back to touchwiz its kinda difficult on the Note 2 (Which i don't think might be true)
Is it the same for this device? Or you root, install a custom rom, and can flash back stock with no problems?

Hi man,
I dont ve sg note 2 but
Flash on g900h is kinda easy
1st backup if u can
After that root your phone with
odin on download mode
Install twrp recovery by mehdimyadi

Next install costum rom recovery mode
l suggest xtrestolite or spacerocket
In case this goes wrong
u can return to rom stock with odin
Any help reply

Xtrestolite v2.1, SpaceRocket v4
Two roms work good there are equals & fantasticals
but my heart is inclined to SpaceRocket

[i9505] best and most stable rom

Hey guys!
As the s4 is not my device and I've don´t any clou about it's roms, i have to ask you.
The s4 of my gf is getting slower and slower, so I decided to put a new rom on it. I thought, that it would be cm 12.1, but I read about problems in every rom I saw.
So what is the most stable and fluid running rom out there in your opinion? It doesn't matter how many features there are included in the rom or how many updates will be coming in future. But i think 5.1.1 is a must-have.
Is it a clean stock install? Please help me

I Think Alucard's optimized cm12.1/cm13 is the best rom for i9505

Oh, didn't find the other thread from 23rd march the first time.. sorry guys!

Best cm13 rom for i9505??

hey guys suggest me a stable cm13 rom with great battery life

ROMs are a very subjective matter.
What works great for one may be bad for you.
Also, pretty much every Android 6 ROM has Bluetooth problems.
If you're looking for lots of features and customizations, Resurrection Remix and Cyanide are the way to go.
For performance, Optimized CM13.
Battery-wise they are all decent.

Hello can someone tell me a i9505 custom rom for gaming ???

At the moment i am having a bit of success with Omega Roms (i have v19 based on 4.3 jellyB). Pair it with a kernel that lets you customize most things in CPU and GPU (like kernel KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW) and you are good to go :fingers-crossed:
You can choose from different versions of roms and kernels based on virtually any stock rom. Good luck!

I suggest JDCTeam's AOSP ROM.

Thank you verry much ill try both roms but the one with the omega rom do o have to flash on my own the custom kernel ?

yes, the kernel is sepparate. There is already a nice kernel in Omega, but the KT one is better as it gives you acces to more tweaks

Too much time without upgrading my ROM...

Hi folks,
it's a long time i didn't upgrade my phone to a new ROM, and I'd like to ask suggestions on how to do that.
Here my tech specs:
- i9505 international unbranded Galaxy s4 (rooted)
- TWRP version 2.8.5.0
- WANAMLite Rom Kitkat 4.4.2
- Xposed Framework with wanamlite xposed
- Nova Launcher
I saw there are plenty of new roms, but I'd like to know:
- Lollipop or mashmallow? Any experience?
- I was interested in the resurrection remix 6.0.1, anyone has tried it?
- How do I proceed at best without losing settings and data?
- Backup with TWRP or Titanium?
- Should I Wipe everything or can I simply keep my data?
Sorry if I'm asking the same questions everybody does, was just too much time off the scene
thanx

Believe me, it's better to stay on Wanam Lite, maybe one of the best and Stable roms ever made for the galaxy S4, even though it's running kitkat. Do you still have the link for Wanam lite 3.1? Can't find it anymore. Thanks a lot!

When changing ROMs and/or Android versions it is always recommended to do a full wipe.
Backup your apps with Titanium Backup and your ROM with TWRP.
As to the matter of best ROMs, that is a very subjective matter.
ISF prefers TouchWiz ROMs. I prefer custom ROMs, like CM based or AOSP based.
Check the Resurrection Remix thread for experiences. I find it's the most customizable ROM available so far, but I'm not actually running it right now.
I'd go for Marshmallow just because of a slight performance increase over Lollipop.
If you want even more performance, check out the JDCTeam ROMs (Optimized CM13, AOSP and Optimized Slim6).

Some of the newer ROMs may require an up-to-date bootloader and modem.

First of all thank you guys.
Yeah I'm actually looking for a non touchwiz rom also. I'll check out
In this old post the link doesn't work:

If anyone has a valid link to Wanamlite 3.1 for i9505, ca you please PM me?
Anyone suggesting some other Roms?

Best stock modified rom

Hello Friends...
I have a s4 i9505 and am not new to samsung as i already own a i9301I....
I want to ask which one is the most stable rom of all for the i9505...
I dont want any noughat rom..
Just A Simple stock modified or some Marshmallow with the latest feature...
Already seen many Roms on the youtube. some are s7 roms and some n5 etc.
Any suggestion for a rom that is smooth as well as Battery Friendly!!
Thanks.

The S4 never got a stock Marshmallow update. So you're stuck with Lollipop ROMs that look a bit like the S6 or not.

I am currently on the stock 4.4.2 and want to switch to a rom that doesnot loose the stock features and i am also not been able to update to 5.0... so now i will try and root my device and then try any stock modified roms...
if u have any suggestions then u r welcome to tell!!!
but the one with the best batterylife will b much appreciated!!

While I don't generally reply to "best ROM" posts, I can tell you that all the stock-based ROMs with I believe the exception of Imperium ROM are no longer supported. Since I'm not interested in keeping my S4 up to date thanks to having a newer device I threw Thor 1.5 (Android 5.0.1) on it and put it away. For a Touchwiz ROM it isn't too bad.

Then go to goldfinger custom ROM as a 4.4.2 kk.
