Hi,
I am looking for a custom ROM to get rid of all the bloatware that came with the default ROM of my S4.
Could you recommend a custom ROM that runs stable and without bugs? I don't need the latest Android with the newest features. Just a stable system without bloatware.
Thanks in advance!
The most stable rom is going to be the latest stock ROM if you want the Samsung features.
You can remove bloat by rooting and uninstalling or freezing apps with Titanium Backup.

Hey all,
I was looking at some of the custom roms available. Is it possible to update to say ViperRom w/o changes to the stock Epic look/feel. That is, is the stock theme removed and are Sprint stock apps, etc. removed as well? Has anyone been successful in restoring their apps/settings after an update to a custom rom or just vanilla 2.2 leak? I just want a fast/stable ROM but with stock Samsung look/feel.
Also, what is the Bluetooth performance and SIGNAL performance like in 2.2.1 based ROMs? I saw no one review that.
Thanks
Lately I'm undecided if should I keep StockROM or a Custom ROM...
What can you tell me...?
I can recommend you this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/rom-galaxy-s3-neo-stock-firmware-t2975102
Make a backup of your stock rom and try some for yourself. You might never go back. You could also try n1kolaa rom and kernel or RR.
I tried various custom ROMs, but nothing can beat my precious Touchwiz.
Now I'm at stock ROM with root and xposed installed. With Xposed you can get almost anything you can think about!!
Have fun
Hi,
I have a Galaxy I9505, I'm not too familiar with custom roms but there appears to be almost too much choice.
At the moment it has Stock 5.0.1 and I'm constantly clearing space. Overnight a handful of built in system apps have created nearly 1gb of temp/cache data which is rediculas.
I'm looking for a custom rom to replace the stock rom but I dont really want to try ever one to see which I prefer.
I want a clean stable rom with no bundled apps and good battery performance. What is the best rom that fits this description based on your experience?
Thanks for your advice.

No custom ROMs come with unnecessary apps.
But the AOSP and Slim6 ROMs have even less apps than most. They also have less features.
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?
Hi, please someone make a deodex and fully debloated stock MM ROM for j500f, thanks
This way stock ROM will be much lighter and faster, close to custom rom, I can't use a custom ROM now because their isn't a custom ROM with volte support,
