We have TW ROMS and Google edition ROMS.
For me, the perfect ROM would be a GE base integrating some cool features from the Stock samsung ROM like Air Gesture, Smart stay/scroll, Air view.
What would be the perfect ROM for you? a samsung stock or GE? Which feature from each one would you pick?
A more stable aosp rom. I'm biding my time with TW.

tw stock rom with stock kernel without any bloatware/samsung apps.
so i still got tw features/gestures but also alot of free ram and a very good performance.
for me there is no need for anything else.
plus i don't have to wait for any custom rom which is buggy or drains battery like hell.
on my s2 aokp was the best for me... but cm kernel on s4 just drains battery way too fast.
Google edition rom with:
- samsung camera
- notification toggles
- when you get a text message you can call the person by putting your phone to your ear

A CM 10.1 based ROM with Smart and Air gestures from Samsung.
A good ROM should be the google edition rom 4.3 with the Samsung apps, but not the TW. Only with Samsung camera App, air gestures and Smart stay.

Why would you prefer stock over GE. although it's known to be snappier than Samsung stock Roms.

half the ROMs here are built by chefs that don't actually own the device. Sure that doesn't necessarily mean that the ROM will be of a lower quality, but it can't be as good as a ROM for a phone that they actually own and use. Also motivation and innovation would suffer a bit here I think - just look at Wanam; he won't innovate on his Adam kernel for the i9505, and has low motivation on his Wanamlite ROM for the i9505, and who can blame him? developing for a device you don't own would be a long drawn out process.
I'm not looking for something basically impossible like "samsung HW features on a AOKP ROM", let's be realistic.
What I want is a ROM by a chef that owns the device and uses it daily, who isn't afraid to mod files and frameworks to get things working, is TW (why buy a phone where you can't use any of the features that set it apart), but with a nice Aroma installer that guides you through a process where you can make it as heavy or light as you want, has low battery drain when "lightened" (ie if you leave it bloated and have high battery drain, what do you expect?). I also want certain features "fixed" by default. If i wanted a pure stock looking and functioning ROM, i would flash a stock ROM. This would include:
I think a subtle battery % mod is required, possibly a theme, but it must be SUBTLE, i don't want glass reflections or garish colours.
I want multi-CSC,
TW launcher should be unlocked (not that I use it, but ROMs that lock the dock are stupid)
Join unlimited contacts
5 way reboot menu
standard SMS/MMS changes (unlimited contacts, no MMS convert)
multi-window manager.. etc.. most ROMs have this stuff I think
Also I don't want a chef that brings out a new version for EVERY firmware that is leaked. Some firmwares bring nothing, or worse performance/features/battery. I want a chef that tests out new firmwares and makes an educated guess based on their experience and what others say on whether they release a new version.
OK that's all, it's a lot to ask I know and probably require someone on it full time, but if you're interested the closest I have gotten to a chef like this is Ripper ROM for the i9305.

If you flash a GE rom on your s4, your phone is rooted...
Meaning you can also add mods, aka adding more features

Still, nothing beats an AOSP rom. Like CM.
Btw, you don't need root to flash mods. Just a custom recovery.
The perfect rom should be battery-friendly.

Isn't this kind of redundant in the General forum where there isn't any one device? Especially seeing as you're talking about specific ROMs rather than bases (i.e. not something like AOSP, MIUI, TouchWiz, Sense etc.). If I said I was using NexusHD2 JB would that really mean anything or make a difference to your choice?

i'll give u a suggestion...i havent tried pacman rom yet, but till now IMO cm10.1 is the smoothest!
even i found text and icons to be blurry..so i suggest u to use that rom with nova launcher prime (u can set custom icon size) and set the system font size to large!
that solves the problem for me...im using the 20130316 nightly with KK cm kernel core 0.2..everythings buttery smooth!
gives me about 5 hrs of screen usage (which really good and just an hour less than what stock rom gives with power saving mode on..
Cheers!
P.S:im gonna try PACMAN rom now
Running pac rom here also and loving it.
I've ran CM10.1, Sungsonic, romswell, ota 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 and without a doubt the best so far is pac rom.
But honestly the battery life is the same on all of these roms, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

You may have noticed by now that the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 has no AOSP ROMS, that means no CyanogenMod, AOKP or Paranoid Android.
While the Qualcomm i9505 is basking in Google edition ROMS and Nightlies of CyanogenMod, the i9500 is in the dark.
The only ROMS available for the Exynos powered i9500 currently are Touchwiz based, and are essentially only modified versions of Samsung's own stock ROM. :crying:
There is a reason for this...
You see, to build an AOSP ROM developers need the phone's sources, in this case, devs such as those who work on CyanogenMod and AOKP need the Exynos 5 sources. The problem, Samsung isn't giving them out just yet.
Now back with the Exynos 4, Samsung promised to release the sources to give devs a fighting chance, what they ended up getting was incomplete, and almost useless. It took the developers two years to get something that half worked out of it!
I'm not saying we will never see non touchwiz based ROMS for the Exynos S4, mainly because it appears progress is already being made.
However, until the day comes where we see an AOKP ROM for the i9500, check out this ROM by doga.ozkaraca
It's a heavily modified version of touchwiz with the only noticable Samsung feature being Settings.
Until next time,
Droidulation
I already have an AOSP Rom on my i9500 :good:

Sorry for asking a philosophical questions, but what is it that you're looking for using touchwiz interface? Because I think that some launchers, such as Nova, can give you similar look and feel (using ican pack), with much customizable, faster UI.
Anyway, I don't think there is any stable S4/N3 available, because it relies a lot about stock Sammy's framework, which is excluded on AOSP roms
