I want to upload android 7 onto my S4, and was able to install TWRP and to make a nandroid backup. But the page with the instructions I was using has an empty link for the android 7 ROM. All my searches could find were pages for I9505, and I have I9500. Then I found these forums. Can someone recommend a source for the most stable least possible problematic android 7 ROM for an S4 I9500? Thanks - Mark

Are you looking for stock ROM or custom ROM?

I don't know enough about the difference to say I want the custom, so I'll just say which ever is easiest and/or most reliable. Sorry I posted in the wrong place at first - this site is huge and I've never done any of this before.
I just need an android 7 for my S4 I9500 so I can use a walabot attachment stud finder for a home project.

Go to this website. You can find some android 7 stock firmware for the specific model. Do not flash stock firmware using TWRP. Use ODIN flash tool for that.

If you are looking for custom ROM, You have to find one which is suitable for your device. I can't recommend one because i haven't tested any custom ROM on that device model.
Thanks so much for your assistance - like I said - I've never done any of this before. I'll post a note on my success (hopefully) later.
Back to square one - the Samsung official ROM for the S4 I9500 only goes to Android 5, so I'll have to find a custome ROM after all to get 7, and I need 7 for this phone attachment.

Google this: Android 7 custom rom s4 i9500.
But i can't guarantee that those ROMs will perfectly work on your device.

I tried to find lineage os rom for your device but it seems like your device is not in the list and those custom lineage roms aren't android 7 roms.

Morning:
I have an old Galaxy Y GT S5360 that is rooted with the stock ROM on it. My girlfriend broke her phone so I gave her this one to use until she can get another phone.
Is there a STABLE custom ROM out there that can support the latest browser(s) and has access to the play store?
Most of the ones I have seen appear to just be Gingerbread with various UI facelifts; or they claim to be Android 4.XX but really aren't.
I need a functional phone, a functional browser, functional wifi, and functional play store.
Anyone seen one of these in the wild?
Thanks for your time

Yes, Cyanogenmod 11 is the newest version available (and possible) for the Galaxy Y, this is the main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765874
Download for ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/download/a361f02wti4dhrk/cm-11.0.0-GT-S5360-totoro.zip
Gapps is here, make sure to use this one since other ones can brick your phone, break wifi etc: http://www.mediafire.com/download/o8awd5jbmc7l5cs/gapps-kk444-(20160719)-v5.0.zip
Follow instructions in the thread I linked for install
Thanks Anyhoo

Thanks for responding champ, but CM 11 doesn't look very promising at the moment (or Cm 9 or Cm 7 either)
Guess it's a doorstop
Cheers
This phone is too old to get the latest Android versions. Either you flash a CM rom (which you said you don't want to) or a stock based rom ("Gingerbread with various UI facelifts")
Stock based roms are usually more stable.

Hello everyone,
I personally never owned a Samsung device (always Nexus and mostly with Paranoid Android or Dirty Unicorns ROM) but my girlfriend has one and she defeniately needs it to be flashed :good:
As I am completely new to Samsung devices, I have no idea about all the developers and different ROMs that are out there for the Samsung Note 4 (Snapdragon).
I don't have much time to try around with different ROMs as it isn't my phone.
I need one that is good, stable, fast (and also supports the stylus / samsung apps). So I can flash it quickly and have a happy girlfriend
So that is the reason I an asking in the first place. Else I would just flash around and keep trying until I find the best fit.
I saw CM is officially supporting the Note 4. So that one might be a good solution. But does it have all those stylus samsung stuff?
Any other ROMs I should check out?
Do I need to flash a new radio?
Thanks in advance and sorry for posting another "which ROM" thread. But I can't really test around to find out on my own as it is not my device that I am going to improve !
If n910g, this is highly recommended, although you have to disable or uninstall later all apps that you don't want if you want a debloated rom.

It is N910F.
The link you provided is simply stock android MM?
Yes stock MM, stock is in my experience the most stable and bug free rom build. But the link is for n910g unfortunately.
Stock ROM, and then debloat yourself. Quite honestly speaking, and no offence to anyone, there are no good ROMs available for Note 4. In fact I myself might have not got the phone if I realised the development section is like this. And I am not interested in ported ROMs, so even though there are many available I won't go that way, and I am too dumb to make a ROM for myself, so stock ROM it is.
I agree, stock rom rooted and debloat it, and apply msm tweaks. If you want, xposed as well.

You must flash samsung based rom to have all soen features and samsung apps. I reconnemed kurama rom which in using , its battery friendly, fast and stock based. If you going to flash kurama rom you must flash modem and bootloader for the rom to boot up (only can be flashed from pc with odin)
Hi guys
Iv got a tab 4 as a gift running kitkat 4.4.2
I would like to install a custom rom as it looks very old and cranky, even though its only a 2014 tablet (why the hell samsung didn't update this I'll never know)
Iv installed Twrp,
I see there seems to be a limited number of roms for this device, any advice would be great.
I was looking at the moonlight rom. Apparently it works with the tab 4 WiFi.
Thanks for your time.

I am looking for a ROM for this device, too. And I didn't find any ROM that is worth rooting my tablet and installing TWRP and things like that... All those ROMs are based on the same system, same android version, except for apps and some theming mods... I don't know why don't they just try to make an AOSP nougat ROM for this device, or porting a TW lollipop ROM to our tablet.
I have Samsung tab 4 Sm-t239 I want to install marshmallow.....presently tab is having android kit kat 4.4.4.....can anybody help
Thanks in advance

well, I advise you to download and flash a custom NN Rom. which most of them are away better than the stock one
First: you need to flash a custom recovery
Second: download any custom ROM you like, for me I am using SEP 8.5, a Galaxy.
Third: Flashed it to your phone.
Fourth: if you don't know how to do all above. then you should watch some youtube videos.
Note: be careful to not break your phone.

If you don't want to install custom rom for some reason like custom roms come with few or many bugs. , I advise you to update to android 6.0.1. Custom roms come with few or many bugs. As for me, I flashed a custom roms as I don't care about the bugs as they only affect features that are somewhat not important.
Hi everyone,
my brother has Galaxy Note 5 and he was dancing on my head to help him get android 10
so I flashed Lineage 17.1 and Gapps with Magisk . his phone is N9208 nobleltezt but twrp was detecting it as noblelte so i downloaded noblelte and flashed it. now his phone became N920C lols. but now he is very unhappy because of over heating and camera issues and etc. now he wants me to flash stock 7.0 rom and kernel.
I need some help, plz tell me where is stock firmware and kernel so i can make his phone stock again ...
thanks.
This is what I found in my bookmarks. It can't be the latest ROM, but it could be a start for you. It has all the info and links you'll need. Good luck.

I can't help you much with that, but you should have an easier time finding a decent ROM for your model (N9208) than I had for the N920P, a real orphan of the Note5 series. That phone is my only exposure to the Samsung world, and I have to admit my surprise how different, and fragmented, I found that world to be from all my prior experience (mostly Motorola phones). Having said that, from what I've read in the past month while chasing information about the "P" model, most talked about are Havoc and Bliss ROMs, but here is also Floyd Note8 ROM which only lists a problem with NFC for your model. Good luck.
