I just got my S4 (GT-I9505) from my dad. I'm really excited but I don't know where to start. What should I do first now that I have it? Should I root it first? What is the best Rom and Kernel for this device? Any advice would be much appreciated!
If I were you I will perform a factory reset first This model has many ROMs, you may try each of them and find out your favorite one.:cyclops:

Would you happen to know which one is the most popular rom right now? Or the best one? Or how about the best Rom for gaming?

I have i9505 though. I don't think it's compatible?
Once you're rooted and running custom recovery you can multiboot it, (run multiple custom Roms) all information is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2864469
Alucard's kernel should give you good perfomance.
Or Hulk kernel. With hulk you can overclock the up to 2.1 Ghz. But I feel like Alucard gives you better performance (when running 1.9).
As for the roms, they are all pretty much the same.
I've tried Sabermod CM12.1, Resurrection Remix, AICP 9, FlexOS.
They pretty much have the same performance (judging by the UI speed).
Haven't tried the SlimLP builds yet.
I also tend to return to the GPE rom. It's 5.0.1 though.
The reason I keep coming back to GPE is that I have pretty much no problems with it. Very stable.
In benchmarks you will get the same score on all roms. I got an average of ~32000 on all the above mentioned roms.
So, in the end it will come down to how the rom feels (fast ans smooth or slow and laggy) to the user.

Any experience with CyanogenMod? When I click the ROM tab, CyanogenMod is listed first so I'm thinking that it is the most popular right now. Do you have any info on how good or how stable the mod is?
Also, quick question. When flashing a rom, I know that I wipe the cache and dalvik cache before flashing. But should I also wipe these 2 after wiping?

Not necessary but yo can
ooer! woa there cowboy! It's new. Take your time to explore and understand how it all works then once you get that feeling that you're sure this or that could be better that's the moment when you can think about rom flashing.
I loved the phone when I got it. I then thought hey, I'll flash cyanogen on it. That worked well for a time (and they're getting better and better with each version).
I then went a while with a danvdh's excellent google edition rom (imho a very good compromise for the minimalist).
I finally came full circle back to a TW based rom (for info the Imperium v9) with which I am most happy.
Through all that I discovered that what I wanted most was an excellent camera, good video player and good battery life, all of which come included in TW roms.
The Imperium or other roms bring nice tweaks and optimisations all of which came from that famous itch that every geek has for making things that bit better.

In bechmarks both roms give the same scores. So there isn't much to say about that. CM does feel a bit faster in my opinion. But I don't know if it offers any noticeable advantage. Unless you're willing to run android 5.0 and ktoonsez kernel (which offers CPU and GPU overclock and Is only available for CM).
Guys you might say that thread already been made so check it out first !! But i've checked every thread out there .. I am really fed up now ..
I am a kind of Xtreme user .. would do anything to my Lenovo and yet can get back to normal [i mean even if i brick it] NOT BOASTING at all just saying willing to take any kind of risk ...!!!!!:victory:
Actually i want my Lenovo to be perfect in my eyes..i don't want to use MIUI or Cm11 anymore ..bored from kitkat ..(they still do have some bugs though).. Can use other kitkat rom if it's awesome.:silly:
All i want a ROM with sooper smooth Gaming Performance with 1 day battery backup....Will install my Xposed in it...Greenify !!...will flash Sound Mod...Maybe some performance tweaking mod [Maybe if UI seems to be laggy] and will install Gta:sa ..asphalt 8 ..some more games. and some of the Utilities ! that's it ...And yes obviously no major bugs!:cyclops:
What i've tried is ..Cm11 with mods ..Miui 7,with mods ,, Stock lollipop is :beep: u know.. magic rom and i forgot most of them .. and ye Resurrectionremix LP .. don't know about RR mm i did flash it seemed bugless but didn't use it much !
SO please if there's someone ..developer ,user , whoever thinks i am using this rom and i do things and it is still working coool.
So please advice me please please !! and for Formality --> THANKS IN ADVANCE :fingers-crossed:
i don't know if i shouldn't have asked it because i don't know i just did ..!! Thanx

You want extreme performance..?? Then, you better stay with CM11. Been there, done that. Tried most of the ROMs and the conclusion is, for gaming and battery life, CM11 stands way ahead than other ROMs. AnTuTu scores with CM11 are >38k while other custom ROMs have <30k. Stock LP and KK has AnTuTu score ~22K
P.S. I'm a gamer too. Played asphalt, gta, nfs most wanted, nova 3, brothers in arms, wild blood, dead trigger, mc5,........,etc. and finally stuck with MC4 :silly:
Use latest cm 11 by flourmo ... Along with mostock kernel...Tune the kernel.... And enjoy...
Cm 11 is best so far rom.....

As long as all the apps and features run perfectly, why will one need LP or MM. And yeah, all the credits goes to developers. Every other day, there is some new rom, kernel or something. They have made us able to get the most out of our device.
And, definitely MoStock with CM11 is a made for each other combo.
For MoStock on CM11 flash this.
WiFi bug solution by @opswiz
1) Download attached zip, extract and place file *01wlanon* to /system/etc/init.d/
2) Reboot and done!!
After this you would be able to use wifi without any problem. But you'll have to reboot each time you use wifi tethering (like in shareit and for other stuff). [You should better enable advanced power menu in developer options, then you can choose soft reboot in power menu, to reboot your phone in just 5-8secs]:silly:
But, for chappil's MoStock Kernel, its worth it.
You can try these customizations for CM11.
Here are the AnTuTu scores in CM11, MIUI7 and stock KK---
@MukulGamer, I just found this post. Here he is using CM12.1 64bit by stagass and is getting 39k score amd good 3D score. You should definitely give it a try.

Alucard governer is suggested. But, I prefer interactive which has a balance of performance with good battery. Alucard, I found, lags a lot while gaming. And, I don't know how but performance of interactive is better even than performance Governor itself.
Use these settings
Governor - interactive
Min freq - 200
Max freq - 1209
CPU hotplug - msm hotplug (alucard hotplug is also okay)
I/O scheduler - fiops with 1024kb read ahead for internal and external memory
usb fast charge (use charger with more than 1A output for fast charge, more than 2A might harm your devive)
Misc controls - tcp congestion - westwood
Gpu - msm-adreno-tz
:laugh:
This is my configuration for good battery and performance.
P.S. Dont forget to check apply on boot section on each setting page.

Take titanium backup for those apps. Data will be saved.
Wich ROM, mod, kernel or combination of two of them give me the best experience in android?? I m looking for an Android system fast, smooth and best battery life. Thanks to all
If something was the best, nothing else would be used as there's no point in using something that's inferior when you can get something better.
There is no best, I suggest you read each thread and pick one that suits your needs. Saying X ROM and kernel is the best is like saying a specific vehicle is the best...One may say a Ferrari and another may say an F-350. But who's right?
Some people like roms and kernels bloated with 1000 customization options filled with placebo "optimization and enhancements". Others prefer a clean, minimal ROM without all the useless bling that they'll never use.
P.S. there's probably 10 threads like these, and possibly 11 by next week that you could've read through. I'll just copy and paste this same post on the next one.

Currently using PureNexus nougat with ElementalX kernel. The experience is pretty good.
Using the phone for SMS/MMS, YouTube and web browsing. I can get ~ 5/6h sot with a full charge on WiFi and ~ 3h30 sot on 3g/LTE which is enough for me.
Also using custom CPU governor profile in EXKernel Manager helped me with battery life without affecting performance (at least not that I noticed). You can find more infos here:

I am using the stock ROM with the ElementalX Kernel. Very happy with the performance of the phone. I arrive at the end of the day with 40% battery on average

F2FS + Dark ROM + FLASH kernel ! That's the best combination and I am a serial flasher
These people that are saying there isn't a best ROM, I don't really understand the reasoning behind this. There most certainly is a best ROM kernel combination. Otherwise all these ROMs and kernels would be exactly the same right? Sorry to say, some are better than others. This is just a fact.
If you want speed, smoothness, glass, breakneck speeds, great battery life, there really is one only choice.
Uber rom by Chad and faster kernel by Chad.
Why?
On f2fs, (trust me, you want f2fs) I have yet to find kernel or ROM combination that beats this.
Its the only rom that's built with GCC 6.3.1, and the only rom built with clang 3.9.1. Coupled with f2fs, this rom FLIES.
I have flashed every single ROM on this forum and then some, and I'm telling you this is the best combination you can possibly hope for:

Uber rom by Chad I definitely agree is the best. I tried using his faster angler but it caused problems with mods like viper4arise so I am sticking with flash kernel. Uber by Chad is definitely the best rom though and I have tried so many roms like pure nexus, resurrection remix, dirty unicorns, sixRom, lineage, cyanogenmod, nitrogen, Cortex and so many more.
Is the stock camera working on either Uber or Dark ROM with f2fs file system?
Thanks
There's no such thing as a best rom fact, but only best rom opinions, which isn't a good idea to ever discuss here. [emoji14]
As for battery, that all depends on you as a user to manager your battery life your way. I get 4+ SOT easily and I listen to a lot of music and text a lot.
As for what I'm using, I'm running ABC Rom with franco.kernel, root, and V4A. ?

I basically just wiped cache and dalvik/art cache and flashed the rom and kernel and all my mods. I also made sure to do stuff like rename audio effects and everything I did to make it work with flash. I use stable 2.4 deutronomy aroma installer. I was talking to someone else on this rom and kernel and he said he had the same problem too so it might be hit and miss or maybe you flashed it different than us. Please tell.me what you did to get it to work. Thanks
What partitions do you guys convert to f2s besides cache? Data as well? Everything else remains ext4?
Running stock has been great for me lately. Downgraded to 6.0.1 running Xposed for pixel mods. Amplify and greenify. With exkernel has been a great experience so far. Near 7h SOT yesterday. Will be going back to 7.1.1 soon, as the February update is out.. I heard lineage OS has good battery life. Will be trying that out soon in a few days.
Read the threads on XDA and good luck!!:good:
We have another post for ROM. Why do we not have another post for Kernel ?
As we can see, we have more than 5 kernels that are from XDA developer or someone else. But which one is really good for your ROM and which one still keep updating ?
I have been using OP5T for 2 months. Have used so many kernels but i still got stuck in those and do not know which is more stable. I am planning to use the kernel from Blu_Spark. Is that good ?
Post your favourite kernel and tell everybody why you use that. It will help newbie to pick what they want.
I am using Flash kernel at the moment but I have already tried Blu, franko, arter, ElementalX etc, but honestly for me it's difficult to see any difference since this phone have already a great battery life and great speed. On my previous phone (S8) the custom kernel gives a big advantage since the phone have tons of bloat and and isn't running stock like Android.

I have tried Blu and Franco for now and both have been very good. I really think kernel performance depends on the combo with the ROM as well as your device. I'm on Liquid Remix with Franco currently but I may give Resurrection Remix a try with Flash. If I had more time, I'd flash every ROM with every kernel to get a feel for all the possibilities LOL. :good:
For me Franco and flash kernel are the Best.... Now with ob3 with Franco kernel
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5010 mediante Tapatalk
Did the Franco improve battery or performance? Someone Tried the Boeffla?
At the moment, both Flash Kernel and RenderKernel are great options in my opinion. I have tried most of the other kernels on xda and if you are looking specifically for smoothness/speed, these are the two you should test first. I do not run battery cycles; everyones daily use scenario really differs too much.
Flash Kernel currently has some kernel features I need (Kcal support & wakelock blocker) while RenderKernel does not have these features quite yet. While it lacks in some features, RenderKernel is undoubtedly the smoothest kernel for 5T right now.
I am on a 5T with OOS 5.0.3.
I like Franco but recently some custom ROMs have WIFI cannot turn on problem after I flash Franco kernel.

I haven't really played around with Kernel choices much.
I use and appreciate the professionalism of ElementalX kernel.
With it's options to adjust for extreme brightness, it quickly became a favorite a couple years ago and I've just stuck with it since.
Now most devs are adding high brightness to their kernels.
I guess I can start checking other kernels out.
I do like that ElementalX stays very stockish, reliable.
I can pretty much flash it and feel confident nothing weird will pop up over the next few days.

ElementalX, Franco, and flash were all my go-to kernels back in the 6p days (just a few months ago, lol), so it's hard to pick, especially since they all ended up on the 5t. Right now I'm on exkernel though I am partial to flash. Battery life is amazing on all 3, but the overclock on ex just adds that extra bit of smoothness that I've never experienced before. Call it placebo but I just love this kernel (exkernel).
any more input?
im curious to know if fsync affects battery performance at all, can someone also test this out if you are on a kernel that enables disabling the fsync feature

Tried it but didn't notice any difference.
Technically it should improve performance when using the phone, but it won't be noticeable.

Do I need custom recovery and root to flash a custom kernel? I'm not willing to play with kernel adiutor so I'm not really interested in rooting

Custom kernel has nothing to do with google play services. You need custom recovery to flash a kernel, but most kernels for op5t are "flash & forget" which mean there is no reason to change the setting of the kernel.

maybe not Google play services specifically, but with my latest phone (zuk z2), kernel was directly related to deep sleep
stock OOS/kernel has a serious issue with Google PS in terms of deep sleep. Besides that, I dont feel any need to flash a custom kernel. SOT is incredible already, and performance is really fluid.

If you are OK then there is no need to flash a kernel. If an app is crap (like Google services or facebook) the kernel can't do miracles and its not kernels job to control wakelocks of user apps

I keep changing between blu and new kernel
Not sure which to stick with but I think new kernel gives me a bit more battery
Hi guys. I'm using Liquid Remix 9.0. (latest version, projectk r23 kernel and nova launcher)
Can you tell me about the ROM and kernel that is very stable and the battery is very good? Or should I go on?
thank you to everyone who answered my question
U may disagree with me, but honestly, stock rom is one of the best ones i've used, in terms of stability and battery. Not many other custom os managed to achieve similar battery life as stock. Hope this helps!

I agree and im still using stock since i bought my phone
The less customisation you have the less bug you have.
Stock is the most stable, battery friendly without tweak
You can still put magisk / xposed and a custom kernel to win some battery % if you know what to do
I agree with them, after installing most custom roms out there i always came back to stock. Maybe pie could have a better battery usage, but i experienced lots of bugs even in so called 'stable' firmwares.
What kernel is the best with stock rom?
