[Q] Roms ( New user )

Hello everyone I'm new here I just recently rooted my Galaxy S4 i9500 and I want to put in cool speedy Rom.
I also heared that I can combine it with lolipop or something? I dont realy understand it yet I hope you can explain it to me help me choose what's best for me without bricking my phone....
Also I would like to know what apps I must have after rooting or what apps you recommand for me?
Any help will be aprreciate thanks for all !

Start reading as much as you can on this forum and learn from it.
You won't brick your phone, that's almost impossible. That has never happend when flashing custom roms.
Just flash a custom recovery for the i9500 and start flashing the rom you want to try. Always read the first post of the rom and probably the last few pages of the thread.

First of all thank you for the reply, Finaly!
Someone offered me the omni rom with lolipop.
I mainly looking for speedy tweakinish rom and it seems awsome,
but maybe there more roms even better?
also I saw you need to delete anything from the phone
b4 you put a new rom so my question is how I save the
important apps and data and if i can skip all the crap i used to have??

Question
Hi! I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (I9506) and i'm on stock rom (4.4.2, I9506XXUCNF3). I successfully installed a TWRP recovery via ODIN. Root done and it works. Now i want to flash the PAC lollipop ROM. Do i need something else to do before flashing? Thank you in forward!

What ROM to get? (cant find a one without problems) I9505

Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks

If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.

Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.

one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!

S4 restarts when slightly moved after flashing rom

Hey guys,
I'm new to these forums. Therefore, I've been using a lot of your answers to other people as solutions and tutorials.
I have just install my s6 port on my GS4. My I337M will work fine only if it stable. In other words, if I move it, it's making a quick restart and it's just with the rom installed.
I have tried getting back to stock rom and it didn't have this problem. The thing is that I really like what how Albe95's ROM changes my phone. It's awful and I can't enjoy it completly.
Hope you guys have something.

Serious problem with Camera

Hello everyone , I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo GT-i9301i and after i flashed CM 12.1 from official cyanogenmod website my camera will not work by any fix.zip i try, could anyone help me please?Please Dont tell me the usual stuff just flash this etc etc because i tried a lot of "fixes" but none works i need an advanced solution.
\Thanks for your time :good:

Probably you flashed the fix without needing it. Wipe everything and reflash the ROM without flashing that camera fix.
Anyways, if that doesn't fix, we'll need more information in order to help you
