Coming back to custom ROMs after a few years break

Hi,
I've been on Stock ROMs for some time. Last time I've tried a Custom ROM was a few years back on my new (back then) HTC Sensation.
Now I've changed my Galaxy S4 16GB to Galaxy S4 32GB, and (as it was a phone with different CSC than I wanted) changed CSC code to XEO. After that I've noticed that the KNOX flag has changed to 0x1, so I've read about it (a bit too late) and got to know what it means.
So after about 30min of having the new phone I was without warranty.
Now I'm looking at the Custom ROM possibilities.
Last time I've tried those, then every time that there was an update to those ROMs, one had to flash it manually and then do a wipe (this was very annoying, and because of that I've returned to Stock ROMs with OTA updates after which I didn't have to wipe the phone).
It would be if someone could tell me if that has changed ? (eg. Custom ROMs with something like OTA updates, that use a small update file and update only what is needed, or any other updates that don't involve phone wipes).
I'd like to get a Custom ROM that is practically the same as the Stock ROM, but has the bloatware removed (or an option to do so). The ROM should be rooted (thou I haven't used any apps that require root in a long time, so that is not a must have). But it must have a way of updating without phone wipe (I realize that I'll have to wipe when going from Stock to Custom ROM).
And is there a straight forward how to for going from official Stock I9505XXUDMH6 to a Custom ROM ?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Check the stickies, the development forum, the original development forum, and anywhere on XDA just do a search, far quicker than posting a new thread.

[Q] Installing stock android

Hi!
First time posting on this forum, after installing like 40 custom roms from this site.
I have a question, with the current Knox issue, I would like to know if its ''worth it'' to install the stock google edition rom. I have in the past, as noted before, flashed ALOT of custom firmware's on my old Galaxy S1. Although I didnt care much about warranty issues back then, I do know. And the Knox flag is not making things much easier for me as I cant hide the fact that I flash custom firmware.
So, is the google edition all that good for the S4, and might it be possible that in the future, you can install custom firmware without tripping knox 0x1?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Which stock ROM [4.4.2] should I choose?

Hello.
I am on 5.0 at the moment and I would like to downgrade back to 4.4.2 since there are many things I do not like such as: program compatibility, no silent mode etc.
Thing is, I was always wondering and I wasn't asking is how do I figure which ROM is best for my phone based on these criteria:
recently updated
best signal for my country (Greece)
bug free
carrier-free without useless apps from carriers
greek language support
At the moment I'm downloading a United Kingdom stock ROM since it is a recently updated 4.4.2 stock ROM
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39396/G900FXXU1ANJ1_G900FVIR1ANJ1_VIR.zip/
But is it good for my phone signal?
Will it have Greek Language support?
Please post a stock ROM link if possible.
Also I'm Knox 0x0 and I wouldn't like to trigger it.
You seem like a guy who wants his phone just to work, withour lot of features. I think you should go in AOSP. Try cm11, but you also can go with cm12 which is good for daily use.
As a stock alternative the best is xtroslite ROM for me.(4.4.2)
I am on xtroslite ROM lollipop beta 3, and is perfect! but you can go with 4.4.2

Latest stock rom for s5

What is the latest stock rom available for the s5, is there a 5.1.1 available.
I like the stock rom mainly because of the camera as I use the phone a lot to take pictures and videos of my kids but I miss the functionality that the custom roms like blisspop give you where you can set certain triggers for your profile and disable lock screens etc so would like to update my 5.0 version.
Unless that is someone can tell me of a custom rom with added features that uses touch wiz and the original camera functionality.
