Hi everyone! I just got a s4 i9500 and I want to install a stock 4.4.2 Android rom. I would like to know that which rom should I install. I don't use the censors on the phone, I just want a rom that runs smooth like Nexus 5. I found CyanogenMod that is 4.4.2. Should I install it? Or do you know a better rom?
And one last thing, what features will be missing (like censors or multiwindow) when I install a stock Android rom?
Thanks so much if you answer. ^^

Do you mean official ROM or custom? There is no custom 4.4.2. But there is indeed an AOSP Cyanogenmod 4.4.2. It lacks touchwiz features but is amazing.You can activate some touchwiz features using xposed. If you want official one, just today Kitkat 4.4.2 has rolled out for I9500.

Yeah I mean the AOSP rom. I installed CM11 and it's exactly what I want. But I want some features back like NFC. How can I get that. I couldnt find an NFC setting in this rom. Simply, where can I find Xposed compatible with CM11?
I'm currently running CM 11 nightlies and have a custom recovery on my i9506, but would love to play around with the stock ROM. The thing is it's a pain to use other programs to "factory restore" the device (erasing the custom recovery, having to work out how to root it again, stripping out a bit of bloat/knox).
Do you guys know if anyone's released a flashable .zip of the stock 4.4.x TouchWiz ROM which is pre-rooted, knox removed and ready to tweak?
I would ask in the i9506 forum but I don't want to clutter it with non-ROM threads.
Thanks guys.
I know the way to install Roms from KK to LP, but it all involves upgrading to stock rom CM12 & then custom rom...
Is it not possible to directly install custom CM12.x roms from KK without going through the process of installing stock CM12?
hi, could someone give me the stock kernel plz? cannot find my backup. thx
Lineage OS
You can choose to install a better custom rom, they are better in every way to stock
Can anyone help me out with a custom rom? I would like to get android 10
