[Q] Features on Galaxy s4 with root? - Galaxy S 4 General

I am looking to get a Galaxy S4 and I am definately going to get stock android on it. I just don't want to lose all of the S-features like hover and s-view and all of those motions. Is there any way I can get a stock rom with some customizations and also keep all of the features. I am probably not going to use the features but it is just something I can show my friends and stuff.

You must look andriod development section of the s4 at xda (Not original andriod devlopment).
In above forum developers put great efforts to tweak the roms as per their taste. These custom roms are built by modifying/stripping/hacking samsung stock rom. So you will get all the features you want +a custom rom.

No, there's not. You must choose between largely useless fluff and stock Android. Just a suggestion: If you really want to have the best experience with stock Android, go for the 9505. With that, you have the option of a) stock ROM b) Google Edition ROM and c) Cyanogen or AOSP ROM all of which run very well on it, but don't on the 9500 thanks to Exynos.

i'm very interested in your idea will your rom have Touchwiz 4??
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
and will it work smooth like cm7???
I prefer stock GB rather than Tocuhwiz'd GB. Also I doubt Touchwiz 4 was made to support the G3 in the first place.

That device has a different chip set to the i5800. Different GPU, CPU, etc. Only the resolution is the same. It would be best to base it on cm7 a9 and modify the themes, etc from there. That's probably your best chance at getting a touchwiz looking ROM. You won't be able to use stock touchwiz apps either without modifying them because they need touchwiz framework. (Might be wrong though.. This is all coning from my memory...)

Cm7 has more customisability and a theme engine (that's why I suggested it). You might be able to find some mdpi/ldpi touchwiz 4 themes for cm7 in the play store. Aosp is good but has it been updated to include the a9 patches/fixes? If so, then he could use that to have a more lightweight rom.

actually i know that the GPU CPU are different but all im saying is that comparing the froyo codes they have similarities and i am not really planning on basing my ROM on it...i just wanna use it as a reference... and as it was pointed earlier there are many ROMs based on cm7 and so i think i am giving it a shot... i appreciate ur input and i will consider it but i wanna give it a shot from multiple angles thank u

Mint jelly and nottachs xposed app talk.

Here we can talk about anything you want thats based on mint jelly or nottachs exposed app.We can discuss settings,batteries,kernels,we can argue,make friends,make enemies,whatever just PLEASE HAVE FUN
I'm a huge fan of KT kernel and currently have it on my S3 with CM ROM. Monday my new S4 arrives and I'm thinking of sticking with semi stock Rom. mint came up on the list if highly regarded and compatible (even packaged with KT)
Two q for you
1. Do all the Sammy features work in mint like dual camera and that ir remote etc...
2. Any chance you can share your settings file for KT and give an idea how is your battery life and performance with min/KT... Of course I know battery life is not the same for everyone so just wondering about your experience.
Thanks dude.

1. All the Samsung features are left intact and working for me. It's the awesome camera app that's making it tough for me to go AOSP. He removed the AT&T bloat only.
2. I'm running KT's settings in post three of his thread for the kernel. I'm not seeing anymore lag issues and battery has improved over stock. I'm very happy with it.
i'm also running kt kernel and his recommended settings and it's been amazing so far. Also love the trinity colors set to cold (more blues).

ohh yea i forgot about that, but i dont know that rom has xposed built in and it was made around nottachs app working so it might,they just updated it today to MF4 and i saw somewhere that someone had it working ona MF4 build i think,you cant even dl the newest build right now so slow there tring to get mirrors up
I may give foxhound a try. I tested jedi and haven't gone back to mint jelly after applying kt's kernel and switching the contacts apk with the one in mint jelly. Jedi is really snappy and I am also running nottach's xposed mod.

[Q] [Discussion] What is your custom rom and why you use custom rom

hi guys,im junior member on XDA Developer,im using samsung galaxy Y GT-S5360 and using hyperion 8 ROM,how about you guys?,what is your device and custom rom?,what is your custom rom's future?why you using custom rom?
im just asking for introduce myself,this post is not a great and hepful post,but please give thanks to me on left side of this post,thanks for giving thanks guys ! :angel:

I'm running beanstown build 20 on my Note 2 and i love it!
I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.
thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:
Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life
The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.

Which 4.1.2 ROM do you recommend?

Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.

Samung apps on custom rom

Is there anyways to get Samsung apps on a custom ROM? Download SApps for Note 3?I find that while the 4.4.2 Roms generally work great, that lack of SApps and especially the one hand functionality, really reduce how great these Roms can be.
Or are there custom Roms based specifically on Samsung's original ROM that include the SApps?
Or is the best bet just to root Samsung's Roms?
Thanks in advance.
