What's the best 4.4.4 rom for the S4? I don't care about anything else. I'm currently running a oreo-based rom and I'm having too many problems, I don't like android 5 and 6 and I assume 7 is just gonna be another misery so I want to aim for a kitkat rom.
LOS/AOSP or Touchwiz ?
LineageOS 11.0 could be a good idea, it have the last security patch

I've used custom roms before but not that they are not necessarily more suitable.
I had an s2 that I tried a few roms on and settle with Omega which was a major improvement over the stock ROM.
I how have an s4 (i9500) that was acting up. I rooted it when I first got it with ODIN and have recovering already set up. A while ago I upgraded it to 4.4.2 and now want to try 5.1.1
After some trial and error I managed to get a 5.0.1 rom on my phone and I like it a lot better than 4.2.2 from what little I've used it. I'm thinking that it would make more sense to go with something 5.1.1 flavoured though. I'm not really sure which roms I should try though. I care most about stability, battery and responsiveness, especially the camera. What bothered me most about my phone is how long the camera would take to start up. That and my phone started shutting itself off every so often.
I know of cyanogenmod 12.1 and heard of paranoidandroid. What are the top roms I should consider. I've look through the threads here but it is a bit overwhelming in terms of choice, feature and volume of comments to suddenly jump into.
I've been flashing away... on my phone
Resurrection Remix LP v5.5.8
Blisspop 5.1.1
cyanogenmod 12.1
crDroid 5.1.1
I've found that 5.1.1 is really ugly and that these roms all look pretty similar- uly top bar and ugly icons
I tried LL V2.0 (5.0.x Lollipop) and I like it way more than 4.4.2
[WORKING sheard romv1.5]
I wish I could find a 5.1.1 rom that looks like 5.0.1
This is of course based on the assumption the 5.1.1 is better than 5.0.x in terms of stability and battery life.
What should I do? stick with LL V2.0 or can I get something that looks the same with a 5.1.1 core?
Is there some stable Android 6.0 ROM, ideally without samsung bloatware and withouth "not working" things ?
And if not, which lite Android 5.0 ROM whould you suggest ?
There is no android 6 Samsung rom for the S4.
And there are no 100% bug free roms. Bugs differ from user to user, and this is something the developers can't fix, because they can't foresee every little problem.
In the android 5 category you should definitely look at the GPE rom.
I hate Android 5+ so damn much but the CM download page is down for whatever reason (503). Does anyone have a copy of the CM 11 ROM for the USC Galaxy S5?
Here's one for plain KLTE. I just searched cm 11 snapshot klte. Try that for your device.

EDIT: And here is an unofficial build of cm-11 temasek for klteusc.

Thanks, will try them.
I hate most of the new Android versions and my S4 runs happily on 4.4.4. My S5 is running a 6.0.1 version of SlimRom, which is quite awful, but it's better than anything else I tried.
Honestly I'll probably use KitKat until it's officially depreciated by Google.
4.3 has the best customisation support, literally anything can be customized. I had 4.3 on an LG P505 and it was awesome, but 4.4.4 was probably the best version of Android ever released.
Give this a try. Hope it helps.

Hi, i always use old android 4 roms for my smartphones, because the roms have been long updated and the 4. ist much faster because it has not this encryption. (my old s4 is in 50% of the opertaions i use faster). But which rom is the best? I want to have xposed and viper sound mod. the shohat rom has it included, but the comments was not so good with the performance and battery life. what do you recommend me?
If you mean KitKat (android 4.4) ROMs, the last one I've used was omega ROM.
However, I'd highly recommend to jump straight to Android 6.0 marshmallow for general battery + performance improvements (not to mention much improved security).
Android 4 is outdated by a long mile. At least think about stock touchwiz. Your best bet for Android 4 would be the now-defunct CM11 or PAC or even some older versions of CosmicOS (if they exist, haven't looked). Other than that, no way KK ROMs would be in development in 2017.
Sorry for bothering, but i wanted to ask you if anyone could build an Android 6 custom ROM, the thing is that the stock Android 6 Firmware is faster than Android 7, and more reliable, but it is full with bloatware so i thought to ask you and make a clean custom Android 6 ROM like CM13 or any other ROM that might be possible to build.
