I don't want to lose access to the Samsung Stock Camera app. The HDR feature is incredibly good. Which roms actually include it, or is it easy enough to put back in if a rom doesn't.
Thanks

Any touchwiz based ROM will have it. I don't know if it can be implemented on any AOSP ROM's since some TW apps only work on TW framework.

I'm confused which roms are touchwiz based, does JFLTE mean that?

No, JFLTE is just a device/variant name of the S4. Touchwiz is the software running on the device. Usually just look at the rom title and it will include "TW" or "Android 4.xw/TW". Also if you read the features of the rom it will usally say based on Samsung Touchwiz or whatnot.
The other software versions are: AOSP, CM, GE/Google Edition. (Which would mean they are not Touchwiz roms)
Is there any nougat based custom ROMs for our g4 plus ?

Thanks for this thread. This is exactly what I've been wondering too. I am on CM based RR ROM and even though the idea of using nougat is quite appealing I'm not sure how much it's worth the whole hassle, specially given I'm too used to RR's huge set of features.
I'll check back to see if someone's answered, and surely post back if I've struck luck with a custom nougat ROM, though I have a feeling it might take some time before a custom athene ROM such as CM or CM based rolls out, and prolly it's worth the wait if I don't have to go back to stock ROM for just a few odd extra features which have largely been ported through mods/apps and implemented in custom ROMs already.

Agreed.
It will take a while for people to start working on Nougat based ROMs. From what I understand, devs are still perfecting the CM bases MM ROMs, which requires a lot of time and effort.
I don't see any Nougat ROM anytime soon, at least not as a stable daily driver. I'm sure our devs are equally thrilled but let's wait it out a little!

There is CM14 on AFH And it's uploaded by @regalstreak ...!!
Don't know anything how it works or why he haven 't shared on XDA...
Edit: It Doesn't boot... Don't use...
What is the best S5 Custom rom out there that allows for the fingerprint scanner to work? I do not like vanilla android I enjoy Touchwiz and other variants of android. I do not like Cyanogenmod or lineage or any other original android roms. Thank you!!!
Slitr has good battery and u can customize it by choosing which stock apps you need. Grats

I triedAOSP and Lineage OS. But both of them showed the fading and discoloration of the screen during boot, meaning that they were compatible. I am currently downloading the Stock firmware but would like to know whether there are any better ROMs out there than these.
Edit: The stock firmware is giving invalid zip error.

No, read OP, you need Lollypop firmware, just install 5.1 then install this Ron or any time that requires firmware 5.1
You also need recovery compatible with 5.1 like TWRP from Vince (OFFICIAL TWRP) you can download from TWRP site https://twrp.me/devices/j5lte.html
It all depends, if you want to have great camera or you are into taking pictures, never flash AOSP roms, because their camera is a loot worst compared to touchwiz camera (samsungs camera app is optimized like hell)
If you are curious and want to unveil your phone's power I suggest you AOSP/Lineage based ROMs.
Camera isn't enhanced as stock propietary crapwiz one, but works fine. If you love pictures, better you go with a pro Cybershot camera or similar.
I prefer paying the price of freedom and use free software than stay tied to proprietary closed source crapwiz.

Yup it almost works on all Samsung MM based Custom Roms or Ports like A5UX Rom , J2UX Rom etc.
Im also pretty keen to know what ROM you guys think is most suitable ? I am currently using stock 5.1.1 rom on J500F, anything better out there ? Would doing a factory reset on stock 5.1.1 and removing bloatware maybe be the best ? Not trying to hijack the thread but as mentioned im also looking for something as stable with less bloatware and better battery life. Thank You !

You can't get better battery life than stock lollipop + hard debloat, period.
Lollipop is the best for me, plus camera sucks on all custom roms
the smoothest rom is XeonHD , and AOSPextended both are extremely optimized except the camera is not that good , if you don't take pics often i suggest that you install either of them
AOSP-CAF based, are the goods. XenonHD is the better Lineage based rom. You have many options to choose one that fits your needs. Camera is fine, I don't complain about that, You should try to choose the better one that fits your needs.

Thanks for the reply Ragazzza, could i ask which method you used to debloat ? Also did you possibly install a custom recovery and root the phone ?

Picture quality is extremely important for me, i am leaning towards stock.
Have you ran into any problems with XenonHD Taivo ? You say the camera is fine, do you mean its not that much worse than with the stock rom but a little bit of a degradation ? Thanx
i didn't run into any problem in xeon an excellent rom , i recommend it

i could always give them both a try, you guys recommend this method to debloat ? https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Then just need a recovery that will work with stock and XeonHD rom

@Ragazzza debloat zip is very nice if you're in stock. XenonHD satisfied me, very nice and smooth ROM. You should give a try to test by yourself. My better pictures I got with my Cybershot camera. Pictures are fine for daily use, and you have Vince's TWRP that works in lollipop and marshmallow, you choose the correct for your device. And from within TWRP you could debloat too, using the embedded explorer or flashing Ragazzza zip or whatever you want even with no root in your system.

Thanks Taivotat, im going to give it a try when my warranty is up, still have a remainder of 4 months, for now i want to backup>factory reset>debloat, anything other than debloat.zip that you recommend on stock rom without twrp ?

Without twrp, better you try that no root debloat you show us before..
And if you follow correctly the steps to flash twrp, dont need to be afraid. Its from twrp that you could flash a debloater zip, for example, even without root...
You can stay with stock debloated, twrp and no root.
Hope you understand.
Hello I am new here and I want to ask is it worth to root and install custom 64bit 8.1 rom(and void my warranty) to use Google Camera and etc. or I should wait for OTA 8.1 update from Moto(Lenovo) ?
Better wait for official rom... probably this month they will release.

Yes it worth it.
1. Performance is better than stock with more features and latest security patches.Battery life is great too.
2. I didn't face any issue in any custom ROM.i am using custom roms for 2 months and gone back to stock 1 time and realise custom roms are way better than stock ROM in every way.
3. Google camera take way better photos than stock camera.
4.custom roms are 64 bits and we have treble support too. Try pure aosp treble ROM it's awesome.
5.moto action works fine on custom roms with added extra fingerprint gestures and screen off gestures.
5. Join telegram group for better support almost all the devs are in the group and they are friendly too.

Hi, I tried a Lot of custom roms on my xt1685. But
all of them are fighting with camera problems and loosing volte. The Advantage of 64Bit Rom I really didnt feel and See.
The only Advantage in my opinión is the Higher Security Level because of faster Updates.
So if you ask me, wait for the 8.1 Upgrade.
In meantime I am Back on Stock with locked bootloader.
Enjoying the good Stock camera every day...

I tried every Oreo ROM performance is same in all roms but I like nitrogen os best.I am using nitrogen os mod with arnova's Google cam latest version released today. Performance and battery life both are awesome in nos. See attached photo 30% remaining with 5h sot. You can even increase it further you ace or any other kernel but it depends from device to device. camera takes supereb portrait shots from both front and back camera.
And for volte I was facing initially facing issue in all Oreo based roms the problem was if you reboot your device after initial startup volte was gone but than accidently I figured out that if I turned on airplane mode before reboot volte works just fine. After that I tried every Oreo based roms for Moto g5 plus volte works in every ROM every times( in pe ROM I have to change some setting to make volte work)
Plus added benefits of root like unlimited high quality backup on google photos. Google lens on assistant and camera , sound mods like viper Dolby. Xposed beta 3 also works fine on Oreo.
Every Oreo ROM is super stable even without official Oreo not out yet. Development is supereb on Moto g5 plus. Head out to telegram group if you any further doubts most of the devs are there.
