Alright, so I'm currently running the fully stock G900T from T-Mobile that's rooted with Magisk.
I need this phone, so stability is a must along with battery life and that pretty much means that a stock ROM is the best, from what I've seen on the forums anyways.
So my question is, is there a "best" de-doxed, unbloated, (rooted?) stock that's already on the forums for the KLTE series? If not, how would I go about "making" one for myself? Also, what would be considered the "best" kernel for the stock ROM?
What apps would be best to include for such a ROM?
I will try to add more information if the need arises or I feel like I should include more. However, any help or even questions for me would be gratefully appreciated.
EDIT 1: Whoops, I didn't realize I had posted in the wrong section till now. If a moderator could please move this to the correct section I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
I recommend Stock International ROM v5.0.
Stable, smooth, stock.

Hey guys I'm interested in flashing my sprint GS4 and was wondering in your opinion what is the best 4.4.2 AOSP ROM. It is very important that this ROM is stable. Thanks

If it is unlocked and your using a GSM sim from another carrier than you got more than just stable rom to worry about. You need to do some additional steps to get dialer and calls working on AOSP but if you are just using it on sprint CDMA than you are fine and can just flash Slim Rom which I think is most stable of all of them. Gummy is great. Another thing you gotta keep in mind is that you should flash the supported gapps that the developer mentions in rom thread because if you flash wrong Gapps version that can cause instability. Slim roms has always been stable for me and use it with small gapps which is just 56mb. Slim roms is actually 4.4.4 which is even better than 4.4.2

Sorry, "Best" ROM threads are not allowed on this development site. Members are expected to do the research and read through the ROM threads to decide and pick what "may" be best for them. Bugs and fixes members come across will be found in those threads. Asking opinions like this will only get you a list of what everyone is running...no real information...all of that only comes with research. Best advice anyone can give you is to make a backup and flash. Try one out that you think is best for you for a day or two...don't like it? Flash another. But always always always backup before flashing anything.

Hey Guys -
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about stable ROM's for the Verizon Samsung S5? I'm going to downgrade my 5.0 to 4.4.4 (using this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-downgrade-lollipop-5-0-to-kitkat-t3088571) and do all that stuff, but I wasn't sure if there are any restraints on the type of ROM's you can flash. It's my understanding that Cyanogen doesn't have anything besides nightlies right now for the Verizon S5?
Thanks in advance!

You need to use one of the roms from the development forum for the verizon s5. It doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, so Cyanogen won't even run. Most roms on the forums are generally stable, but the most stable are either stock rooted or extremely debloated ones.
What is best is always subjective. What may be best for one person is not best for someone else.
We recommend you take a look read all the available ROMs decide which one you want to try out and determine for yourself.
Always give the rom at least 1 week to settle in and use before making a decision.
Thread is being moved to Q&A section as you are asking a question and looking for guidance.

Hello
I am new to installation of custom ROMS. I own a Galaxy S5 900F version. I want to install a very smooth and stable ROM on my phone. Can anyone guide me of which ROM should i install? and is it safe?
For me SOKP,TeamNoctrunal, or Ownrom
i would suggest you to try them out yourself to find which is most stable for you mate, good luck. (and yes it is safe)
That's an answer that's different for everyone. I swear by CM ROMS, but my best friend says he has nothing but bad luck with them, and we have the same device.
I just wanted to know by people's experiences. because trying different will require a lot of time and data backing up restoring again and again.
Try Them out and find your best Rom.

For me, Official CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies are great. I haven't tested anythnig else because CM works fine on my device : stable, great battery life, etc...
This is an development thread ask your question in S5 Q&A, help or troubleshooting. This is a thread for devs posting there unified mods and unified roms.
If you want AOSP you should try official CM12.1 from here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=klte
If you want a modded stock rom you can try _alexndr rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2813628
Or djb77 roms from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3138583
If you want Xposed framework on a modded stock rom you need a deodexed rom like _alexndr rom or choose djb77 rom there you can choose Xposed from the aroma installer.
I was on XtreStoLite rom but it's outdated at the moment so better to use another one. I tried also _alexandr rom and it's also very good one. Now I'm on CM12.1 and I like it very much. So I advice you to try CM12.1 and if you don't like it try djb77. And I prefer Boeffla kernel (the beta version) there is a version for CM12.1 and for TW.
Boeffla kernel for CM:

1) This is the development section, does it in any way shape or form resemble a Q&A forum? We have a separate Q&A forum for a reason, can you guess what that reason is?
2) Try some and find out. What is "best" or "most stable" type of questions are not allowed on XDA. "best" or "most stable" is subjective, nobody can answer the question except you.

Personally i dont lic stock android so i dont like CM
CM is gud to have a better understanding about a google update early
But once samsung give their updates touchwiz is more good for me
Well, its not about just being stable, but about having stable features, and cm is not very good in that way, it is stable, but has very little features, so stock samsung rom all the way, especially now, when samsung will be releasing android 5.1.1 update very soon.
Well I think that people mainly say CM "used to be" stable, because they changed their development cycles from fixed (i.e. having RELEASE versions) to rolling (only MONTHLY). Apart from that I think its a matter of taste really.. personally I would consider most Android systems "unstable" cause you'll always get the occasional crash compared to e.g. an ubuntu LTS server.
Hi guys. I apologize if there is already a thread similar to this one.I tried to do a search but I keep getting blank results.
I hope someone can help me.
I have a Samsung S4 I9500 Exynos with Stock 4.2.2 rom.My question are-
Can I flash a custom 6.0.1 rom directly over the 4.2.2 or will I have problems with the bootloader and kernel (modem/radio)?
I want to flash either GearCM or RR.I already have TWRP 3.2 I think and am rooted.
Or would I need to flash to Custom 5.1.1 rom first to prevent any problems?
If I need to flash 5.1.1 can someone please recommend a rom thats customizable like RR but still very stable for everyday use with minimal bugs and that includes the latest bootloader and kernel (modem\radio)?
If I like the 5.1.1 rom that you guys recommend I'll rather use it, but I like 6.0.1 UI more.
Please I will appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thank you
You'll probably have to update the bootloader and modem before flashing a custom 5.0 or 6.0 ROM.
Ok thanks @audit much appreciated.You don't maybe know who has the latest stuff?Will it be @ALBERTO's roms?
The easiest and safest way to update the bootloader and modem world be top flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com with Odin. Once updated, you can flash twrp, and a custom ROM for your phone.
OS rom

Tell me how everything goes with your Galaxy. I too have a GT-i9500 which I flash to RR it installed okay but had bugs & used up battery life quickly. So I tried to flash to my backup, which it did but it didnt like? So right now I had flash to a stock 5.0.1 rom from Sammoble to save the device. Everything is good now. I think support for this model is not good being its an international model? cheers
Thank you so much for that info @hiitsrudd.I am still searching for a rom on sammobile I could only find the latest kernel but its locked for premium users.Could you maybe send me a link for that stock rom PLEASE.Then I'll upgrade to 5.0.1 before flashing the custom one.Which RR did you flash 6.0.1 or 7.1.2?Ill gladly post how my flash went.

How's that Cyanogen mod going for ya?
Hi @hiitsrudd.Apologies for being so quite.I was exremely busy the past few weeks.Ok so i finally got some time to download that rom I mentioned to you.
I want to flash it now but I'm a bit worried.
1.When the dev posted a modem and he says flash through CWM, can I also flash it via TWRP?
2.Do I flash the modem before flashing the android rom?
3.Can I flash another updated modem instead of the one the dev used?For example there is newer modems available in the GearCM 5.1.1 can I flash that one instead?

@Relay85 not sure what you mean about flashing modem? I'm under the impression that a modem would be flashed with whichever ROM you choose? I've been busy with a kindle also, let me check into this later.
Anyway I believe you have TWRP installed so you should be good to go to flash any ROM of your choice, I would flash Magisk & the Gapps for you device as well. You should be okay, I'm assuming you downloaded the latest version of this ROM, because the Developer usually does updates. happy flashing:good: I pray for rain in your region too!
I have not seen a custom ROM include a modem. The modem is usually part of the stock ROM included with downloads from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.
If you want to flash a custom ROM, I suggest flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com with Odin. This will ensure that the phone is running the latest stock bootloader and modem.
I do not recommend flashing a modem unless something is not working after flashing the custom ROM and it has been stated that flashing the custom modem will not cause any future issues with other ROMs.
Yep the GT-9500 has a LTE capable factory modem which should run in the custom ROM.
Hi guys ( @hiitsrudd and @audit13 ) thanks for both your replies.Really appreciate the help you gave me.
@hiitsrudd So I never flashed the custom rom I mentioned in my previous post because I read someone complaining about battery draining problems.
I flashed this custom rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop/ressurrection-remix-m-t3404556
and I have to say its amazing.Its fast,stable, battery life is about the same as stock android but performance is better in my opinion.I have not yet experienced any of the bugs they mentioned on the thread so I guess they fixed everything.But I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with this rom. I flashed the 5.7.4 version with gapps pico and everything works great.Im now looking for a kernel to flash just to see if I can get a bit more battery life but I'm not in a hurry cause the rom runs great as is.
I can highly recommend this rom if you are looking for something different than stock.Its really an awesome custom rom.The dev really did an amazing job with this one.I really like the startup logo aswell.Wish I had this rom on my other S4 I9505.I really miss that phone.
Anyway thanks for all your help @hiitsrudd.I really hope you give this one a shot.And I hope to speak to you again in the future.
Cheers for now.All the best to both you guys.
This thread is now closed as my questions were answered and solved.
Thanks XDA once again you made my life a bit more enjoyable.You guys help so many people, this is an AMAZING forum.

@Relay85 good to hear back from you Yes I will give this rom a go:good:
Peace be with you.
Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I'm really curious about the performance of Nougat or Oreo using a Custom ROM versus the stock Lollipop on an S4 I9505.
Do the Custom ROMS of Nougat/Oreo really improve the performance on an I9505 compared to the stock Lollipop? How about the battery?
Really looking forward to answers regarding this.
Anyone who knows this or could test this out of me?
Everyone has different needs whereby one custom ROM may be perfect for one person and a stock ROM is perfect for another person.
I highly recommend reading through the custom ROM forum, selecting a few to try, and using it over a few days with your most-used apps.

Thanks for your answer. Is there a specific custom ROM with Oreo/Nougat that you might have in mind when it comes to performance?
Unfortunately, I can't provide any recommendations since I haven't had a working s4 for a months.
