Stable/Lightweight/Good batterlife rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
My mom has a S4... And it's getting really slow with touchwiz. I've CM12.1 running on my S5 and would like to know what a stable and lightweight ROM is for the s4. I can't be testing all kinds of ROMs on my moms phone since she's just looking for something basic and fast and doesn't want me to ''play'' with her phone. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. I'm not looking for the "best" ROM or anything. Just something that fits my moms needs.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Could anyone Port the S5 rom to the S4?

Hello developers,
now where every single S5 app is ported to the S4, why does no developer tries to port the whole S5 rom instead of every single app?
The S5 roms for the S4 are pretty good, but a original S5 rom port like for the Note 3 would be even better!
In terms of UI and features there is currently no perfect S5 rom for the S4, every rom has its pros and cons.
But with a full S5 rom port we could have the perfect S5 rom! (And no reason to buy a S5) :laugh:
What about trying this @tamirda @Obi_xD @Albe95 and others?
Thanks in advance
There are lots of rom that contain almost all apps from S5 , it takes just a little research to find them..

I know and i tested almost all of this roms.
But its not the same S5 experience as a ported S5 Rom.
And because the Note 3 has a ported S5 Rom i think it would be no problem for a experienced developer to do this.

Which custom rom to choose

Hey guys,
I own my Note 4 for a while now, and i absolutely love it, but since a few weeks the battery life is getting worse and worse. That's why i was thinking about flashing a custom rom (i flashed a lot of roms on my s2, s3). But i dont really know which one to choose, can someone help me?
The rom im looking for has to be stable, touchwiz, lollipop and have a nice battery life.
Thanks in advance, Sam
I have the 910F by the way

What is the best firmware for S4 ?

Hello there! What is the best firmware for Galaxy S4? I'm looking for something better than UFNA5 (I'm actually using it and it's bad ). Can you help me? Ofc I'm not talking about original firmware - it can be also sth like Cyanogen or sth. Just help me to make my phone faster and extend it's battery life
The "best" ROM is a subjective thing. The only way to find out which ROM is best for you is by trying them out yourself.
Well, a pretty fast and stable rom is the GPE rom.
The rom I'm currently using is Resurrection Remix 5.5.3 with Alucard kernel found [URL="forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/samsung-s4-i9505-super-tweaks-bonbon-t3158611]here.[/URL]
It's really fast.

[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!

Galaxy S7 Touchwiz on S3 i9300

Hello everybody. Any chance for port Touchwiz from s7 to our s3? This ROM looks beautifull <3
I know kernel for touchwiz is hard to compile but we have good developers so they can try. I can pay for this rom and kernel. PRIV
First, we need working LP port of touchwiz that is funcional ;D
Hey there @LaweK,
What You are currently looking for is already available.
HyperRom -
Hands Down the best touchwiz rom for GT i9300,Im currently using it and couldnt be more satisfied.
However this rom is running on android 4.4.4, and not marshmellow, However the Android Version didnt affect me at all as it was impossible to guess that this rom is 4.4.4 due to the features and its UI, that almost completely mimicks the s7 marshmellow features.
Anyways, I Fully Recommend this Rom To Anyone who owns a Galaxy s3 and prefers the original samsung UI.

I don't like hyper-rom v6, I tested it two days and it was really buggy for me, android 4.4.4 is the past generation of android. I consider since lollipop is a different android so we need to work together to get a good lollipop or marshmallow tw rom for our device.

Hyper Rom is too slow :/ I like mm and lp because this roms was very fast

Well Different Opinions I guess, However HyperRom Was not at all buggy for me nor was it slow [Im also Still using it with no issues.]
Anyway There`s Also Another Touchwiz Rom Ive used Eclipse Rom Together With The Ultimate Marshmellow Mod. Just thought you should know, It is beautiful however proved to be more buggy for me.
Anyways I dont think we are to expect a Android Marshmellow Touchwiz Rom For The S3, Lets Face it This Phone is now 4 years old and we should be suprised on how much support it is still getting.
We Barely Have An Android Kitkat Touchwiz Rom, So we are to get a Lollipop Touchwiz Rom, before Marshmellow, So it Might Take Either a lot of time to happen or it may not happen at all.
Anyways CM13 and CM13.1 Is available right now that is with android marshmellow, So you can try that too if you want.

I once read that someone was porting lp 5.1.1 from a s5 rom. He said that it booted it with lots of bugs and it would not even be in alpha. I'm still searching for that forum I can´t find it . I'll give you a link when I find it :fingers-crossed:
Probably it willl be very hard to port S7 TouchWiz (too RAM consuming), it might be partially ported in future but I suppose it would be slow and buggy.
Can we solve the camera problem by upgrading s3 to s7?
