Just picked up a cheap Samsung A300FU, which is running the stock Marshmallow firmware.
I believe I have successfully rooted and flashed TWRP to the phone.
It is currently running the latest Marshmallow Samsung stock rom.
I'd like to flash a stable Lollipop or Marshmallow rom, but I have no idea what rom to use. I'm generally a HTC user but as this will be a second phone for me, I just needed something stable, and I can't really see any non-Touchwiz roms other than CM12.1 which has wifi issues, and cm13 which is WIP.
Is there anything stable, non-touchwiz (ie aosp type) for the A300FU that is good for a daily driver?
Thanks,
I have Listed all ROMs, with Bug list, for the A300FU in this Thread: [How to] Root, TWRP, Flash A300FU / A300Y Noob friendly guide
I guess the RR is maybe a ROM for you
Many thanks for that, I couldn't find a thread regarding Resurrection Remix for the A300FU, probably why I never realised there was such a rom.
Hi, is there any deodex available for 6.0.1 A300fu?

Maybe this is what you search [ROM][A300FU][6.0.1] [GS]Mod
Thanks, but I was looking for unmodified deodex like they had for lollipop.

Hi to all
So, I've a question for you: now I'm on stock firmware 5.0, because the roms based on MM aren't very stable. Only the AOSP roms seem to be quite stable, but there is something that makes me go back to stock firmware.
So, better stay on 5.0 stock or flash an AOSP rom based on MM? (I tried some rom based on stock MM firmware but there are a lot of bugs)
Phronesis 6.4. MM looks. 5.1 stability!
Are we in a kindergarten here ?

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?
Hello Friends...
I have a s4 i9505 and am not new to samsung as i already own a i9301I....
I want to ask which one is the most stable rom of all for the i9505...
I dont want any noughat rom..
Just A Simple stock modified or some Marshmallow with the latest feature...
Already seen many Roms on the youtube. some are s7 roms and some n5 etc.
Any suggestion for a rom that is smooth as well as Battery Friendly!!
Thanks.
The S4 never got a stock Marshmallow update. So you're stuck with Lollipop ROMs that look a bit like the S6 or not.

I am currently on the stock 4.4.2 and want to switch to a rom that doesnot loose the stock features and i am also not been able to update to 5.0... so now i will try and root my device and then try any stock modified roms...
if u have any suggestions then u r welcome to tell!!!
but the one with the best batterylife will b much appreciated!!
While I don't generally reply to "best ROM" posts, I can tell you that all the stock-based ROMs with I believe the exception of Imperium ROM are no longer supported. Since I'm not interested in keeping my S4 up to date thanks to having a newer device I threw Thor 1.5 (Android 5.0.1) on it and put it away. For a Touchwiz ROM it isn't too bad.
Then go to goldfinger custom ROM as a 4.4.2 kk.

I am searching for a MM (NOT NOUGAT) ROM which is stock android as much as possible. But I only find ressurection remix which is 7.0
Anyone knows a good 6.0 Nearly AOSP ROM?
Thanks for help!

Have you tried this?
Not aosp, but very small and light if you don't flash add-on and mod
Despite there may be personal preferences using a MM rom I heavily advise against it due to missing security patches. Unlike Linux distros support is dropped by vendor immediately once a new version is released.
I currently have a Moto X Pure with ResurictionRemix (7.1.2) on it, with the last version of stock being the last Marshmallow update. Would there be any benefit to update the phone to stock Nougat (updating the bootloader, modem, etc.) and install another custom rom onto the phone, or will that cause issues (unable to install a custom rom). Thank you for your time.

So not that it would cause issues if you upgraded to 7.0 then to a custom ROM... It literally isn't possible. Honestly if I were you I'd stick on custom ROMs. Going back to stock to upgrade to stock 7.0 will be a huge pain in the ass if you ever wish to go back to custom ROMs again. Honestly, not really a benefit to stock 7.0, and I wouldn't recommend especially if you wanted to change back again if you didn't enjoy stock 7.0.
So what I'm saying is you can't upgrade to stock 7.0, then to a custom ROM, as none are compatible with the new bootloader introduced with stock nougat. And to revert to stock 6.0 from stock 7.0 is kinda sketchy...just read around the help forum for this phone here to know what I mean
Sorry for the formatting, hope that makes sense
There's only 1 custom ROM (check the Lineage 14.1 thread) that works with the 7.0 firmwares that anybody has made public. I don't seem to have much free time to work on getting any of my builds to work on 7.0 firmware. So if you want to upgrade to 7.0 you get stock or Lineage 14.1. Not that there were a lot of options before.
