any1 have a custom firmware? while flashing odin i read that custom os is harmful... what is a custom os? any examples?
After market firmwares like cyanogen mod's are considered custom OS's. You can include custom roms too but they are just themed versions of the stock firmware. So... cyanogen mod or Panandroid or MIUI etc are custom OS's.
But you needn't worry about that warning.

I desperately need either a custom rom or rooted rom that's flashable by Odin only because I have a Galaxy y with a dead SD card port! I've replaced the actual port as the other's pins were all over the place but the new one didn't make any difference so now I can only flash roms through Odin.
Would anyone have a Galaxy y custom rom with root or would some kind person like to make one especially for people who can't use the SD card port for whatever reason as i'm sure there's more than just me that would make use of it! Thanks in advance to anyone that can point me in the right direction.
Guys is there a Official version of CyanogenMode for Galaxy s4 i9505 ? what is it? my phone is very laggy with the stock rom :/
The Cyanogenmod website lists the devices the ROM works on, so why not go there and, oh I don't know, look?

Yes, there is. You can fin it in the Original Android Development section. The maintainer is AntaresOne. He has 2 versions. One is the official nighlies and the other is an optimized version.
You can go for either one or, you can choose one of the other roms based on CM12 or CM12.1.

Just to clarify, you don't know how to type 'CyanogenMod' into a Google search bar but are competent at flashing ROMs?

Why would you create a thread? There's hundreds for that exact thing already..I think some reading may be in order

It's because this forum is not a helpdesk. It takes 1 second to type "Cyanogenmod I9505" in Google or in the xda searchbar. Most developers don't like these kind of people in their rom threads but it lowers the quality of discussion dramatically.
It's the same for the question you asked in the CM optimized topic. It's not a helpdesk and it has nothing to do with that particularly rom. You can easily test which rom is more stable for you by flashing it.

My first rom was the 5.0.1 GPE rom, then tried CM12 Optimized builds, SaberMod CM12 and 12.1 builds and I am now currently running Resurrection Remix rom.
The most stable from the bunch (for me) was the GPE rom. The fastest and smoothest (for me) seems to be Resurrection Remix.
All of them ran stable for me, with no bugs or serious problems that could not be solved.
CM12 has reached a final version. The developer works on 12.1 now. CM12.1 nighlies is the most updated of the bunch.
Now, for the flashing. Before flashng you might want to backup your stuff. This requires root. You can use CF-Auto-Root to do it. Warning: This will trip knox.
Just google search "root s4 cf auto root" and follow the instructions in the thread. CF-Auto-Root does not work with all s4 variants, so make sure you have the right one.
If you don't want to backup anything, then you can just skip to installing a custom recovery.
There are 3 to choose from: CWM, TWRP or PhilZ Touch recovery.
I use TWRP. You should be able to flash it with Odin. Google on how to flash a custom recovery on the s4. Even if they are for different android versions, it's basically the same process.

Use it with KT Kernel. It gives you lots of customizability. You may have a green tinting at first, but this can be easily fixed. Settings > Display > LiveDisplay > Color Calibration and set all values there to 50% and hit Ok. Then just change the brightness so the changes take effect. Otherwise you will have to reboot.
Or you can use it with the default kernel.

Previously, I used several faust's roms. Then I moved back to stock Flyme. Now I'm considering moving to custom rom again. So it has been quite a while since I used the custom rom and I wonder what is the most stable custom rom for our device currently. Particularly, in terms of gaming, fingerprint response and basic customization. Any advice?

Yes, u can choose Faust93's rom or Faust93's rom... or even... Faust93's rom
In other words, u can choose RR rom. Or nothing else.

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.

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

@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.

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.
It means we have come a long way from earlier days where stock ROMs used to be terrible. XD XD
Don't need to fix what isn't broken XD

I am happy with treble + stock + Magisk + Xposed.

No comment of you own? Or are you dumbfounded that all the hype about custom kernels/roms don't add up?
Stock ROMs are best for people who are loyal to the handset manufacturers and are extremely cautious about security. But if you are someone who wants fast performance and customizations, then stock ROMs (except miui type ROMs) are no match to custom ROMs.

Disagree with this, anyone loyal to manufacturers ROM would not have bought an A1 with Android One, In the past I have spent ages changing ROM's or debloating to get a pure Android experience without manufacturers bloat. Anyone loyal to the manufacturers would have bought a MIUI based phone and not and Android One phone in the first place.
With the A1 you get that pure Android experience which for me is the best experience as the OP says.
