Hi all!
I recently acquired a new SG4 9505.
I would like to make this thread a constructive suggestion to Dev's (god bless you all) for things that the users would like the custom roms to contain or directions to go in.
I came from a SG2 running Checkrom stom rom; so getting used to the 4.2.2 droid o/s.
If anyone would like to contribute suggestions that enhance the phone but also enhance privacy as well, then please suggest using bullet points like mine below, that way others can see your points you suggest quickly
Before the custom roms start coming out suggestions are:
clean stock rom - ie the removal of bloatware and other files that clearly are not useful or are carrier based
cooked into all custom roms a privacy and ad blocker - self explanatory.
change default internet servers that roms use to gather data. - ie use of servers that provide anonymous data/google search engine results (e.g startpage.com etc). There are many other services like this, its a concept of clean data to the end-user, the less tracking the better is what i am getting at.
To read more about why i ask for this read here, and here, [URL="http://www.katherinealbrecht.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=102%3Afirst-chapter-of-qspychips-how-major-corporations-and-government-plan-to-track-your-every-move-with-rfidq&Itemid=94"]here, here[/URL].
Thanks again!

I've flashed the omega rom. It is very stable and everything works. Also i'm running the faux kernel. Pretty good combination.

I would kill for a Slim Bean for this phone. I absolutely loved it on my GS2
Adjustable auto brightness would be nice (like stock). Dreaming of Samsung camera software too. And I know, atm this is impossible and maybe always will.

My name is Stijn I'm from Holland and this is my second Android phone. Before i bought my s4 I had a HTC desire. I had the desire for three years after it started to act up when getting hot. Found out this was a hardware defect and decided to buy the s4. I havev the i9505 with the snapdragon soc.
First of I was a bit disappointed about the smoothness of the phone. Animations where not all that smooth and I experienced lag using the phone in general. I was surprised however about the possibilities It presented out of the box. The video player for example has the option to play content on your smart tv . This worked great for me. I like the keyboard, the toggles in the drop down notification panel, and was not as bothered with touch wiz as I expected to be coming from CM on my desire. Also the watchon app that can act as a remote for your tv is cool.
So when opting for a custom rom I chose a stock based rom. Omega v3 was the one I went for.
It simple enough to flash when you follow instructions, but a bit of a hassle as you have to flash a stock firmware first. Lots to download!
Strait after flashing i noticed a big difference. Almost all lag was gone. Then I desided to flash a custom kernel. I went for fauxes as I used his kernel on my n7 and liked it.
After this I had the phone I wanted all along performance wise. No lag and blazing fast. Both the rom and kernel allow you a lot of tweak lots of stuff to make it act the way you want to. Worth mentioning is the app omega files that comes with the rom. It was updated yesterday and it gives you lots of freedom to change anything in the rom, from themes and mods to actual kernels that are compatible with the rom. Great stuff!
I also installed the 3 minit framework mod found in the android dev section. Man this app is great. It let's you change a lot of ui components on the fly with a well designed app that comes with the mod. Things like statusbar color, icons and many more are now under my control. And the dev is expanding the mod as we speak. You can make feature requests in the corresponding thread and they are implemented really quickly. Keep it UP Gharrington!
Also installed an app from the market wich allows for every app to be runned in multi Window mode. Nice.
I also bought the samsung mhl cable . It works great but the fact by our can't turn the screen of the phone of while it's displaying your android on the TV is annoying. Of course there is a root app that gives you this possibility. Yey to root.
Things I would like to test are miracast or allshare wireless screen mirroring and the dock with hdmi and usb ports.
Let me know what your experience is with your custom or stock rom and what you do with your phone.

Hi guys, here's the AT&T version of a mod to remove the AM/PM text from the statusbar clock. It's based on the Verizon version here, and has not yet been tested on an AT&T device! I think it should work, but I hereby disclaim all responsibility if it blows up your phone or whatever.
This mods framework-res.apk, which is also modified by burningmembers' small navbar mod. I really like the small navbar, so I've packed up a few different versions of this one.
ATT_StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM.zip will just mod the clock and leave your navbar alone.
ATT_StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM-med-navbar.zip will also apply the medium sized navbar mod.
ATT_StatusBarClockNo-AM-PM-tiny-navbar.zip will also apply the tiny navbar mod.
To revert, you can use the revert zip in burningmembers' thread
Please let me know if anything doesn't work. As I said, I don't have an AT&T device to test on.

Thanks. It works perfectly on the AT&T when using Basic ROM.
I wish that landscape mode could have larger buttons. I like tiny for portrait, but they're not the best when it's docked in the car in landscape. Small target to hit!

I'm looking for an app or something that will give me a black theme, icons, most importantly when I open an app (like CNN, PlayStore, etc.) It will have a black background with white text.
I tried using the inversion setting but is then trows off my already black wallpaper to looking white and stuff. I have vision issue which is why I am looking for this.
I am running stock but am rooted. I was Running the carbon rom for this but got tired of installing nightlies for hammerhead. I'm just going to wait until they have a production version.
Thanks in advance,

Just curious, but is the reason for wanting black everything to try and conserve battery life? Because as far as I know that only works for AMOLED displays.

Search black icons in the store, heres one recommendation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.threekzerothree.softinsetroundicons.black
Use slimROM, a lot of people have this thing for black and holo blue and that is what slim uses, and you can enable darkslim or whatever. I think they have a milestone so you can load that and it will be stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-slimkat-hammerhead-t2511512
Go for Mahdi ROM and flash Slim GAPS with it.

Check out team black out. They have flashable zips for tons of apps even for Google now. That way you can keep stock Rom and the okay Google functionality and have blacked out apps. That's what I have, and it's awesome.
Can you link me to the black team?

Nope, that was enough to get it to show up without being burried by 50 trillion shady things lol
BTW if you want a standard rom in black and white with no blue! Try "Elixr" good stock and fully black and white, when you add icons

You already have the Team Blacked Out link so here is a more obscure theming app. This app allows you to override the colors on most Web pages. It works with both browsers and apps that display html pages within the app itself (eg. Flipboard). I use it on both my Nexus 5&10. Read how it works and how to install here:
[HOW-TO] Blacked out theme effect for Web pages (needs root)
A theme able alternative to YouTube which has some additional features is called Viral. Find it on the play store. That app allows no end of UI Color theming.
You can also use the XPosed framework and two modules (Gravity Box and HKTheme Manager) to implement dark themes including Color finer tuning nav and status bars. Here is a dark theme on the playstore which works with HKTheme Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/theme-black-blue-infinitum-theme-t2597690
Good luck
I like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Based on all the information everyone contributed to this thread I was able to customize my phone to work with the dark themes. Again this was requested because of some vision issues I have and despite one individual who decided to rant off without reading why I requested this, everyone else's suggestions help me set up my phone to work perfectly. Thank you all again.

You really don't wanna use GravityBox... mainly because the dev don't really like anyone who's not using a Nexus. Sense Toolbox will change the functionality of the navbar buttons... GravityBox will too, but a bunch of things don't work. Ironically, on the Galaxy S3, more stuff in GravityBox works in TouchWiz than CM. Yep, even in CM, which is as close to AOSP as you can get without running a Nexus, stuff in GB is broken. Anyway, unless GB has something real special ST doesn't... I'd just stick with ST, provided you're running a Sense ROM, that is. If you're GPE, take your chances with GB. Might work, might not, not sure on that count.
What about adding extra nav bar soft keys? I am used to owning Nexus phones but loving the new HTC so I went for the M8 this time with no regrets. So far the only thing i am missing is the ability to add up to 6 softkeys. Thanks.
Not in Sense. Various custom ROMs have the ability to add or remove soft keys.
If you really wanna stick with Sense and you don't hate Pie, LMT Launcher (it's not really a launcher) has a decent Pie you can use.
