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.

Hi my friend has been complaining about her battery life and she's on stock kitkat i9500.
So I would like to change her rom, can anyone suggest me any stock lollipop rom that has the best battery life,no bugs and has still has all the features from the stock s4 (dual window, etc)?
And is it preferable to flash the Lightweight lollipop kernel?
p/s: I have little experience dealing with samsung, which is why I'm going to learn thoroughly after knowing which rom to flash. If anyone can help me out from the bottom (pm maybe) I would really appreciate that too :good:
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.
GPE rom with Googy-Max kernel if it's a GT-I9505.
GearCM if it's a GT-I9500.

Hello everyone
I have a I9500 with Exynos processor running android 5.0.1, Baseband- I9500DDUHOA1, Build number- XXUHOF3.
I was generally happy with My phone but all hell broke lose after last update. Battery life doesnt last more than 2-3 hours. GPS doesnt lock at all. The phone hangs too much. Wifi signal is poor.
I can factory reset the phone (Since I didnt do it since several OTA updates) but I am wondering even that might not solve the problem and I should flash some good and stable ROM.
My issue is I Dont Know which one is a good and stable ROM. There are so many options and I feel very lost. Therefore I would be thankful if anyone can guide Me to which ROM should I install. My goal is simple- a fast working stable phone. Nothing fancy required.
I have flashed ROMS on My earlier phone Galaxy S (I9000) so I am not a novice and can do it if instructions are provided in the thread.
Thanks in advance.
Fast shouldn't be an issue, since practically any custom rom is faster than touchwiz.
I don't know much about the I9500 roms since I, myself, haven an I9505. But there is a rom called ressurection remix which seems to be available for both devices. I'm running it now and its fast and stable so far.
I'm using slimkat ASOP rom and it's nice and stable
Thanks for the replies. How is the default Cynagonmod? Any good?
Cm 12.1
Default Cm is maintained by Alberto with someone else .
If you want best cm experience use his own Gearcm 11,12,12.1 builds .
They are currently at a more advanced level of development than his own official Cm builds .
All are good . Look it up in original android i9500 forum .
Try gearcm 12.1 optimized by alberto96. It is rock stable,performance is also good. U can find it in i9500 original android development. Enjoy
And also for TW based rom halcyon rom is very much popular, u can find it in i9500 android development.
Thanks a lot for replies. Would it be possible to point Me to a link for downloading and installing this. I guess I should try with Gear CM 12.1?
Hows the gps and battery life on that?

Look here on xda we expect you to find it yourself. There is an entire section dedicated to custom roms.
Hello guys! I have decided to ask for your help as I ran into a bump. I have been flashing a lot of ROMs lately but I can't find something that suits me. I am looking for a rom that is near to bugless, has a great battery life and can be customized a bit. I don't really like TW roms because of the way they look. I am currently running Resurrection Remix v5.6.2 but I encounter some bugs, so it's not for me.
Could you suggest me something good, please? Either KitKat, Lollipop or Marshmallow (if there is one).
Or, if it's not really that battery friendly, one that charges pretty fast. I am tired of waiting 3 hours for my battery to be full
As far as battery life goes, I think Touchwhiz is the best. It can be customized with Xposed.
In terms of charging speed, Lollipop seems to be faster than Marshmallow.
Try the GPE roms. One is untouched, meaning it has no root or modifications.
Hello, I installed Untouched GPE and have been using it for the last 2 days. It's a stable and snappy rom, only has some few minor bugs. But the charging is soooo slow, and the battery life isn't too good either. Any suggestions on a stable ROM that's not touchwiz based and performs well, with good battery life or charges very fast?
Hello guys, I have one more request from you: please name all the ROMs that you know for S4 that are bugless and very stable, regardless of the android version: kitkat, lollipop, marshmallow etc. Thanks!

A bugless rom does not exist. Stock or custom all have some bugs. Almost all roms out there are stable.
And the battery life is just bad on the s4. Not much you can do about that.
One important thing you should know about roms is that, if a rom works perfectly fine for me, for you it might not work as good.
For me, every rom worked perfectly fine, while for other users, the same rom, wasn't stable.
There are so many Marshmallow rom available as of now for i9100. Opinion is invited from users/devlopers regarding the best MM rom in terms of performance, snappyness, bug free, features and off course battery back up.
I personally feel that it is very difficult to measure the performance of a rom even after trying individually unless the user try it for a reasonable time. Means one has to flash each and every rom for having experience. It is further very difficult to understand why mod/devlopers do take part of developing more than one rom thereby confusing users which rom of his favourite dev/mod to be used??
Please post your comment and help users selecting best Rom.
i own Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S4
both are use Resurection Remix M now
i used to install Tipsy ROM in S2, its great though for daily use but i cant stand the UI color
Nobody seems interested........assuming all roms are great!!
SlimLP for me!
You need to try it yourself. It's the best method. Try every ROM you've listed, maybe you'll like my AOKP... Nobody knows good luck finding your perfection!
