Hi Folks,
I have a bone stock S4 that has served me well for the past 4 or whatever years. I have tried resetting the phone several times, but it just feels sluggish in normal tasks, and it really shouldn't.
Stability is most important to me though, and admittedly the stock Sprint ROM is not great in that regard. No random reboots or anything, but just slow as hell!
Any input would be great, not sure if anyone is even still using an S4 on Sprint

I'm using a 720T on Boost, but I've been getting really good results from the PACman Lollipop ROM. May be because I live in an area with mediocre signal strength, but network stability has been a pretty big issue with a lot of other ROMs. My phone just seems to work best with PAC. Here's a link:

Thanks for the intel guys
It looks like WickedX is still being supported - I am going to give it a try and see if it works well for me!
I had PAC on my old S3 and I loved it, will give that a go as well

Cyanogyn mod is a great rom despite the unfortunate fact that it shut down and is not receiving updates anymore. Thumbs up if this helps
In another thread OctOS was referenced which can be found at teamoctos.com/oct-n-weekly-lineageos-base/oct-14.1/jfltespr/

Hey everyone-
I'm asking for help from anyone who's willing to. I don't care if it's not normal for "devs" to ask everyone else for help, this is a community and we thrive on helping one another (by the way, I'm no dev).
Here's my situation: I have the next SkinnyEvo rom ready to be released. It's awesome. The only thing holding me back is a 'flickering' of system animations.
I've attached pictures so you can see what I'm talking about - notice the horizontal lines in the battery status when it's charging, or the downloading icon when using the market. It also happens when typing, scrolling text (like music), the launcher, and even some widgets when simply sitting on the homescreen.
From what I've been able to find, this 'flickering' issue used to be common back before I was involved with the HD2. It may seem like a small issue, but after a day of glitchy animations, you'll go crazy.
I've tried different kernels (only hastarins) and many other things.. but I would like to open it up to other suggestions so we can get this rom released! If you would like the rom "as is" to troubleshoot on your own, PM me and I will provide a link for you.
Thanks a bunch!

Well thanks to you both then. That did the trick Much appreciated!
Hey guys. I'm looking for feedback since I'm STILL a Hero user and idk what you guys have been up to I'll likely root g/f's Epic after she decides to keep it and I was wondering what's everyone's favorite ROM to use and what should I be looking to do with this thing to help make it better? Thx
I like bonsai rom v1.1.4 on the dk28 froyo leak. To speed the phone up if you decide to flash the froyo leak is to change the filing system from Rfs to ext4 and then disable journaling. That is my setup and it's very snappy and fast. But this is only available if you use the dk28 rom. Have fun flashing
I was running Bonsai w/ext4 for a while and it was good but I went back to 2.1 and I'm really happy. 3D games don't play very well on dk28 roms (especially Dungeon Defenders), and gaming is one of the reasons I went with a Galaxy S. Plus I've been getting really good battery life with Syndicate and Phoenix kernel and its really fast. GPS worked 100% on DK28, and strangely enough 100% on 2.1...
Your best bet is to try a couple before you get commited to one...All of them are stable,and Ive tested all but 2 of the newer ROMs.

This is my favorite ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904787
We've had numerous "best ROM" / "which rom" threads, and they always turn out the same way. No one rom is the best, but one may fit your needs more than others.
Please search before making a new thread. There are numerous threads discussing this same topic.

Official Google app with a screenshot of a Nexus S 4G, clearly labeled as 4G and running on Sprint, running Android v4.0! Although the date is 10/26/11 so I guess they've really been working on it for all of this time...
Yeah, and they still can't get it to work. That is just sad. You would think that they would have had the foresight to make sure ICS could work on their other Nexus devices instead of strictly designing it for the Galaxy Nexus. You know there is a problem when the programmer of the OS can not get it to work on devices that were designed to their own strict specifications. Think of what the OEM's have to go through to get this crap to work.

Of course they've been working on it. There were leaked shots before the Galaxy Nexus came out with a Nexus S running a version of ICS. It doesn't happen over night.
I know, but at least this time it's an official screenshot that wasn't leaked! I'm just really excited! Surely it'll come out before the end of March! I was hoping before March, but I installed the leaked build anyway, so I'm good for a while! ;p
This phone features a new ics based OS called Flyme , this is nothing like miui it brings a whole new look and feel with different customization . Mabye the wonderful nice, loving people on here can get this on phones in no time.
-------- Heres How It Looks.

original rom - Flyme - 116mb (for porting purposes only)
http://forum.meizu.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=47
hopefully someone on here can port it
Well get to work! You can port it as there are no more devs working on the D2

Looks very interesting, i would love to give it a try. My current rom is miui 2.2.10 and its pretty much rock solid, everything works. I'm still hoping someone is working on cm10 for the d2. Can't wait to try JellyBeans.
If the hardware tweaks that got the camera and everything else working for CM9/MIUI V4, etc work on this then it should be doable to make it smooth but I don't know that there's enough interest for people to get at it. The last few issues with both previously mentioned Roms still need to be cleaned up.
Anyway, there are two or three tutorials on porting Roms to any device so as said above if you're liking what you see why not go for it yourself? =D
That actually looks so good. Especially for the outdated D2. Plus that Meui MX(?) Phone in the vid was nice. Loved the changing dot capacitive buttons. Very ingenious. I want it. I wish i knew how to port something like this, but saidly I dont.

I'm still on 5.1.1 and I used Multi-Window on my old Note devices daily for work. I found a temporary workaround (although it's still a MAJOR hassle without it) and this is the Android M feature I've been dying for. Pleeease, please please tell me it made it into the final release for this device. Did it?

Out of the box, no...But supposedly this is a way to enable it. Someone would have to try that out and report back I guess.

Works ok...

Yeah, I installed 6.0, and tried it out. It works... kind of. It's more incomplete than I had hoped and won't work for my purposes. oh well.
If you have root you can enable it easy with a root explore.
