s4 9505'm looking ROM.

Which is the best stable stock ROM 9505 s4 restart without problems running stable country stock ROM

Best ROM threads are silly enough. Do you really need 2 of them?
Try your options out and see which one is most stable based on the way you use it. Hint....stability isn't really an ongoing g problem with ROMs anymore. They are all MRO or less stable.

[Q] Is there hope for my SM-G900H?

Is there any hope on getting a custom rom for my SM-G900H? The device is laggy and overheating a lot, and it's not near as fast as my old phone (iPhone 5). Is there any way on installing CM on this version? Because I think most of the trouble comes from the TouchWiz interface.
thanks a lot guys

There is no CM Rom available for our G900H model.
Now you can use XtreStoLite or MIUI Rom for now..

Well as you describe you have problem try to
1.wipe data and reinstall data from scratch
2.install latest firmwares
3.since you have no problem rooting ... try stock rom with custom kernel... i guest it is the best solution

Thanks man! Now i am using the XtreStoLite and it is way better than the stock TouchWiz. Is there any other ROM besides those two that I can use on the G900H?

N910C -- Which Firmware/Rom (Modded) is closest to stock?

Can you help me guys? I came from a S4 unit and I used to have the Omegadroid rom. Debloated but still had the stock feel to it. I'm looking for something simliar with the N910C. What can you recommend? So far, I've only tried SweetRom but it seems to be a bit modded still.
If lollipop, much better!

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?

[Q] Which modded stock S5 rom are you currently using?

Hi guys,
So after a break I am going back to the S5 (currently in post) and looking forward to trying a load of roms that have been developed since my last use.
I have downloaded latest CM and LOS releases as well as some ports and stock based/modded roms to try but I'm just curious as to which stock based/modded roms you are currently using/prefer/why?
I ask because if using a Sammy rom I am likely to prefer the S5 stock modded since fingerprint scanner should work for lock or in-app like Banking and Paypal etc (Or do some of the ports also work in-app?)
This isn't supposed to be a "best rom" type thread as that is subjective. I'm just interested in what you are currently using (modded stock). There was previously (as far as I remember) an INDEX thread listing all stock based but I am unable to locate it at the moment.
So, any recommendations to try would be appreciated.

It's in my signiature. Beast, long battery life, little to no lags, but for some reason, came without CSC. Download alexndr's devbase ROM and transfer the csc folder from the devbase to the SuperLITE MM zip.

Unfortunately my S5 has just arrived and it's the Plus model (G901F) not the G900F. SuperLITE was going to be first rom I tried but looks like I can't use it? :crying:

As stated, you did not specify the model number. So, G901F lacks custom roms. THere are 1 or 2 out in the wild, but will take some time to find.

So far tried, CM, LOS, RR, Mokee...and best would be RR in terms of functionally but for some reason the N latest version gets my phone hot hot hot. Im on LOS again but thinking of going to older 6 RR.
