Im coming from the s3 . im just getting this phone now and wanted to see what roms to flash. whats the difference on original android and regular android roms? because on the s3 regular android roms were TW(TouchWiz) based and Original roms were Asop or Aokp based roms. So since this is a pure android phone why the two different categories?
So far i'm happy with stock rom/kernel + root/twrp + Xposed modules.
I feel it's a tad too early for custom rom/kernel if you aim at rock solid stability.
Regards,
Daniel

Because Nexus 5 stock is still very different from AOSP.
Also, non-original also includes unofficial cm etc.

Please would you mind using search before posting? Asked and answered numerous times in the nexus 5 forum already

FYI there is no such thing as a good ROM for overclocking as it is the kernel not the ROM that does the overclocking. All the kernels are in the original android development section and are on the first page of that section.

I am running Liquidsmooth's RC1. They are releasing their update soon,
Does anyone have a favorite TW based ROM? I am looking for one based on 4.2. I also heard the international 4.2.1 has been leaded. Has anyone tried creating a ROM based on this release? The TW ROMs just look nices than the AOSP despite all the unnecessary features that are loaded.
The international version of the s 3 has different hardware then the US versions making the leak difficult to port. Also there isn't any TW 4.2 ROMs for this phone as Samsung is working on 4.1.2. Lastly we at XDA have realized that what works for one person doesn't work for others so it is best to check out the ROMs yourself and see what works best for YOU.
I just swapped my HTC One for a Galaxy S4 about 30 minutes ago. I rooted it, and am wanting to install a ROM.
Do you guys prefer CM10 or the Google Edition ROMs? An issues with either? Such as tethering/data settings didn't work on the GE ROM for the HTC One.
Thanks for any help

Plus Everyone has their own idea about what they prefer. The only way to know is to read the ROM threads in the Development and original development sections and see what the OPs have posted about the functions of each ROM to see if they include what you want. The issues are also usually listed within each ROMs individual threads. Good luck with your reading.
Would the combination of stock ROM + custom kernel work fine - without any bugs? And which one would be best? Not necessarily the best one but the most stable ones which work with stock ROM, and I'd just decide myself.
Also, if there's an Android update, will my kernel reset back to the stock - due to the update - or will the custom remain? Unless custom kernel causes some difficulties with stock ROM updates (which I doubt it does, but who knows).
Thanks in advance.
Yes they work fine since they're built from source. Try them all and find which is best for you. Just dont use cm kernels. Asking for "best" anything is against the rules
You cannot have official updates if you install custom things. See "ota-helpdesk" in general.

no stock android roms available yet and i doubt there ever will be due to the custom samsung processor. if you want some touchwiz roms check out the android development subforum.
You can try Google Launcher for the "stock android feel."
Hi guys, I use Android 5.0.1 stock version on my phone, but it uses too much space.
I want to flash a new custom rom, which is lighter, and better than this. I used CyanogenMod but it only has nightly version, and it was not really stable(it still has camera, snapchat, on call problems).
So I am asking if you can suggest me a stable, lightweight and nicely designed(like touchwiz or cm) ROM.
thank you for your time.

You're not the first person to make this mistake, but this is the wrong forum. This forum is for the Galaxy S 4G, a first generation Galaxy S device that was released in 2010. The forum you're looking for is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/.
There,, you'll find many, many different opinions on what ROM/kernel combination is best, search and read through the threads. Also, since its a Exynos-based device, Custom ROMs are very difficult to make and most will have at least some bugs.
