Up-to-date i9500 ROMs? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Most ROMs I found are pretty much abandoned since it's a 4 years old phone. Can you recommend me one that's being kept updated?

What is your model number?

Already tried that one but it's bloated with Samsung apps that I don't use. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

Well,I agree with you that its bloated with apps but it doesnt eat up ram you can even disable by using third party apps from playstore,battery life is outstanding and i think its the only rom which has updates now,Hope you find the rom which is suitable to your prefrences
Goodluck

Hello everyone I am new to the world of Android..!!
I am getting this phone this weekend so I was wondering are there apps,themes,games available for this phone..!!I tried to find them around by googling my way through but I didn't find any quality apps..So I was wondering are there any available apps..??
Check out "Legend themes apps" thread.
Imo there are no quality games for Android.
They are available in good numbers. I am using a Legend for the last two months and have found an app for almost everything.

S4 firmware dumping ground

This thread steered in a direction I originally didn't mean to but now it serves another purpose.
We'll have this thread as an S4 dumping ground, where we dump S4 firmwares, discuss them and try to see if and what apps work with the S3.
Full S4 firmware, stock and odexed: https://mega.co.nz/#!doFGASBD!IWCUinIH0SpGuZT9Isy6ozgDvXQY_lsyeW1UUDmW9_c

Lightly modded mb5 here still, getting a bit itchy though so I might have a change of scenery soon if the new update looks ok

I am never fully satisfied but I'm the most satisfied with Omega though. ^^
Btw, there's an S Voice app out which is from a GS4 system dump. Should we rename it to voicetalk.apk to have it launch with a double home click?
http://hotfile.com/dl/199986593/6b163c0/S-Voice_Android_phone_J.apk.html
Modified Omega V39 .
Remove more bloat change boot animation added sound mods .
Dont bother to update a stable rom until a better version or better firmware is released .
All these incremental updates are usually only minor changes .
I would build a rom through the kitchen but really not much difference if any to the roms already modded .
Non Touchwizz stuff never liked any of it and have a strong preference for TW Launcher .
jje
I'm running Ultima V11 right now, Nexus 4 launcher, kept some bloat like Samsung apps and S voice, runs really smooth and I think I'm in love.
Ok so I renamed the SIV S Voice to Voicetalk and replace the S3 one and set the proper permissions, rebooted and now tried it. Much much much faster and looooads better at perception. It now almost fully hears what I say despite me not being a native English speaker.

I never did try that. I always do things the annoying way out of sheer habit.
I will miss S Voice when I get another phone.

What is this reading thing you talk about?
I wish someone could upload the full GS4 system dump
Btw, the new Over the Horizon ringtone sounds a lot better than the one on the GS3.

[Q] 4.3 Ported ROM discussion (Can't post in DEV, still rookie)

Hello,
Has anyone experienced the battery drain with the 4.3 ported firmware? - If yes, have you tried using a different Kernel? Which one?
thanks in advance!

Yes its been experienced by many. See here, here, and here
Use the search function once your within the thread with keywords "battery drain", "different kernel", "kernel", etc.
Most of the time your question has already been asked and answered by many. Take advantage of google and XDA search

Yes I did, but somehow it didn't actually help me. I mean, I saw many ppl complaining about the battery drain, thought no one talked about mounting different kernels and such... So that's why I was looking for opinions around
Maybe they will release the firmware soon, so that all this c r a p will be fixed

I have a question?

I'm seriously thinking of buying one of these with the "1.7GHz octa-core Cortex-A7 CPU; 2 GB of RAM" version.
I'm not real happy and the operating system but I have read that lollipop has been installed and there are instruction for doing so.
However it did not state which version it was installed on?
Will it work on all versions?
Thanks...

The only one I saw was Android 5.0 for Mi 2/2S at the Miui site.
Where did you see one for the Note?

I am using this ONE
VANILA_XAN vs v2
It is 4.2.2, but it is better than using Miui

I used the translation addon for Firefox.
I also joined the forum, since they have a lot of ROM's.
SEE HERE
Here is AOSP ROM.

I have that feature but I did not notice it at the top of the page.
I like these roms better better
The obstacle against better ROM's is the lack of the kernel source.
This why developers here don't do much with Miui.
Don't see this changing, so just have to find ROM's elsewhere.

Maybe things will break loose before long because they are selling a lot of these devices.
BTW; Will these roms you pointed me to work on the version I'm interested in?

I have the Redmi Note 1W. It was sent to me by a friend in Malaysia.
Can only get 3G as it lacks the bands for LTE.
There is a newer version out for 4G/LTE.
Not sure if it has the bands necessary for the U.S. since it is sold in Asia
and Europe.

MIUI on the V20

So some people may call me crazy, but will there ever be a MIUI ROM for the V20?

Not at the moment.. May be if the device gets popular
Ive ported MIUI in the past. I MIGHT do it again. problem being is I don't think MIUI is on Android N yet. I was actually thinking of porting it but right now is a no. Im about to switch jobs so everything is a tossup.
There's a beta of MIUI on 7.0, but hasn't been released. And even that, it's on an older, slower Qualcomm or MediaTek device. So we'd need to get a build from the Mi 5S Plus for us to be able to port.

When I did MIUI previously I do not believe I actually did it from another device(it was like 4-6 years ago so i don't really remember). It just needed the same OS version.
MIUI 9

I sure hope so. I just wonder if the second screen, dual rear cameras, camera app and the quad DAC will work afterwards on MIUI.

Why not?
Wouldn't it be better than starting a new thread to ask the same question?
And, I'm guessing you'd be the first to tell us to "Use the search function"...
