Do you think this ROM works in our ATT GS4?.
And what steps are needed if it does?.
Thank you.

Its for the I9505, there is a good chance it could be ported over to work for us.

Yep, I suspect in 24-48 hours you'll see flashable zips to load if you are lucky enough to have CWM/TWRP.

And it would be REALLY great if they were just developer bases, not these full, all out themed and screwed with ROMs.... we need more developer base ROMs being posted and distributed to the masses just being rooted, debloated, deodexed, zip-aligned, init.d support, and a few other tweaks!

Let me ask, is there a demand for the stock over the themed? Because, when I build my roms, I run my stock version, and build the themed for the people...so if there is a demand, I sure would go that route....

Honestly after seeing how well Goldeneye and SHOstock have gone over here....stock, tweaked is where it's at now days. I know Venom makes his builds but most like the stock look and will use aroma type theme somewhere else. I know themes and png hunting was a pain for me when I made mine. Just wasn't worth it ha

I've seen some demand and even wondered why stock bases weren't being made. Stock base means you can focus on debugging the ROM and not themes and if you're like me you use xposed and other things to customize everything anyways. If anything you could still make the themed files a flashable add on or something.

Don't let me dictate what should or shouldn't be done, everything I'm suggesting are just my personal opinions, but I think developers bases are the best things about TouchWiz, and use those over all the crazy themed / modded ROMs any day! When you do too much to a ROM, there's always going to be problems, and the number of posts on a ROM thread gets to be so long not with people stopping by to say "thanks," but to say "this is broken, why and what do I need to do to fix it?" Again, just my two pennies!
Thank you everyone, I have now the information I need, Vision is going strictly stock. I will get bombed at first, but, it will die down, and it makes for a more stable, clean, crisp, and faster rom. So, let me start with this 4.4 KitKat....it is going to be pure stock here in a few....

I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but it really doesn't matter what people think, only what they do, and if you drop this new 4.4.2 leak as a stock base, I'll be the first one to support it! Good luck, looking forward to it!

This thread is for discussing aosp roms, like Slim, Carbon, etc. except for CM though since it has its own thread. This is meant to keep the unhelping chit-chatter out of the development threads where bug reports best reside. When posting here, clarify what aosp rom you're on. Do not post bug reports here, post them in their respective development threads!
One more thing! While this thread progresses, use search and/or read the faq to see if your question has already been posted before, to avoid repetitiveness and us older lads becoming grumpy.
F.A.Q: (frequently asked questions)
I would like to dualboot, what should I do?
Flash siyah kernel
Help! I flashed siyah and now my rom doesn't boot!
It's because whatever rom you use has a newer mali driver which most kernels aren't updated for. Especially siyah which hasn't seen some dev love in ages.
What rom should I flash?
We don't know, you have to try them out yourself!
What's gapps, and is this inside xx rom?
Gapps is short for google apps, which is the Play store and some other apps you sorely need. Go too http://goo.im/gapps and download the gapps package for whatever version you have. Newer aosp roms are most certainly 4.2.2. Some roms, like Slim, have their own separate gapps packages specially made for those roms. In those cases, the standard gapps from goo.im will not work!
Help! I flashed xx rom but now it doesn't boot!
Try making a factory reset in the recovery and reflash whatever rom you were on. Also, in most cases, CWM works better for rom installations. Twrp craps out for unknown reasons.
Help! I wiped data and reflashed the rom but it still doesn't boot!
That sounds like a rom issue. Try flashing an earlier version of the rom.
Help! Something screwed up and now my phone doesn't boot anymore!
Well, reboot into recovery and see if a reflash helps. It is always recommended to regularly keep your system backed up in case something nasty happens. Perform a nandroid backup every once in a while.
What is a nandroid backup?
It's like a screenshot of your current state which you can return to if something bad happens. A nandroid backup backs up the system, boot (kernel) and data and, if specified/selectable, it also backs up cache and recovery. Maybe even efs (in twrp). However, it doesn't back up the modem!
I flashed xx kernel and I now get a black screen upon reboot!
That is because the rom you flashed has the new mali driver from the 4.2.1 leak and the kernel you flashed isn't updated with this driver. Stay on the provided kernel for now.
Thanks to:
I forgot to give thanks where due, and I'm so sorry for that. If I got an advice from you, hit me up and your name goes on this list.
C_tho; for mentioning the mali driver stuff.
Noble Sir Slaphead20; for suggesting I'd maintain an FAQ and suggesting I'd make an entry covering gapps.

Only Siyah, and Siyah only supports the older aosp roms.
Speaking of aosp, I just had an urge to flash Carbon. Think I'll do it, because I'm a bit bored of running touchwiz and I've run CM for so long I need change. I didn't like RootBox that much (too many settings, lol. I like a "leaner" setup) and there's no official aokp for our device. I also didn't like Slim, so I'll give Carbon another go.

What DSA said. We do not welcome JellyBam here anymore because the developer broke a lot of rules of XDA. Plagiarism and violating the gpl, amongst others.

I updated the op with a small faq. More to come in the following days.
In the Faqs it might be worth mentioning in the gapps bit that some Roms ie slim, have their own gapps, and others won't work
Just flashed Carbon 1.5, not regretting it thus far! This ROM gives the word buttery smooth a whole new meaning!

The only problem with SuperNexus is it is updated very slowly. Also Faryaab has exams to do now, so it will not get updated at least until he is done with them.
If you want a super light rom I would reccomend SlimBean it's fast, and light, battery is acceptable, and it's easy to change settings like screen density and navbar settings without having to edit build.prop and decompile framework-res.apk, which you will have to do on SuperNexus.
what about the smoothness of it?
Another one there to vouch for Carbon, running it on both phone and tablet

I love AOSP Roms and thank you for starting this thread. Unfortunately I am afraid that I can't use such Roms as a daily driver because of the camera problems. Bluetooth also seems to be a problem for some users.
Guys I am facing Memory leak problem with the Slim bean 4.2.2.....is it normal? cant seems to find any solution....
you'd be better off asking in the slim thread
I have a stupid question. I have tried to search but apparently I am not using the right keywords. I barely post, and when I do it's only when I can not actually find the answer myself. So hopefully you can bare with me and keep the flaming to a minimum.
I have been looking for a custom rom. There are a few that I have wanted to check out, however I actually do like and use the samsung camera features like drama shot, etc.
Is there a cm or aosp based rom that someone could recommend that offers those camera features? Or basically am I stuck just debloating my stock rom if I want to keep them? Not that I find too much actually wrong with the stock rom, I was just looking to play around and try out some of the different projects out there.
Thanks for the help guys in advance. I hope I was clear enough in what I am looking for.

Are you saying there is a touchwiz based (debloated) rom that has the AOSP overlay and features. I've been using slim rom (love it) but was thinking. Couldnt you theoretically have a TW based ROM and have the AOSP ontop of it. I love the look of AOSP way more than touch wiz.

Your best bet is to go with a debloated Touchwiz-based ROM based on the much more up to date International firmware. Goldeneye 4.0 is the way to go for me.
You can even install MODs like the xposed framework/nolimit that all you to really customize the look of your phone.
Not trying to start fires or be disrespectful is it just me or have all the ROM Devs either left for another phone or are abnormally silent. Additionally does anyone have any info on a bootloader unlock or root for NC4? Like i said not trying to start a flame war just looking for any information. I appreciate everything that our current ROM Devs have been doing A+ job per the normal, just want me some cyanogenmod.

Have you tried using some Xposed modules to remove certain things and add others? Objective ROM is about as close to AOSP as you can get, pretty much everything that isn't needed to run the phone had been removed.
But the styling is still TouchWiz so all of the notification portion and the launcher and setting.apk.

I'm going to make two assumptions: 1) you're on Verizon and 2) you don't have a developer edition phone. If that is the case you can only flash TW based ROMs made for the Retail version of the S5. Having said that there is one ROM I'm told that comes pretty close to an AOSP look and feel and that is the Alliance ROM. I have not flashed that ROM, but reading through the threads in the Android Development section there seems to be a lot of happy users of that ROM. On the other hand, if you want a very lean, debloated, fast ROM with great battery life and everything works (all essential functions) there is the Syndicate ROM which as near to the pure Android experience as possible (hard to tell it's TW based). Both these ROMs can be flashed through SafeStrap or if you have a Dev Edition S5 just flash through TWRP. Unless you have a Developer Edition S5 you're not going to be able to flash any of the available AOSP ROMs...it just isn't going to happen without an unlocked bootloader and no one has broken that "code" yet.

"Since no AOSP"? Lol seriously I'm confused. Does he want an AOSP rom or an AOSP rom that looks like TouchWiz or a TouchWiz rom that looks like AOSP? What is life?

The OP was quite easy to understand. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader I want a TW ROM that looks like aosp, hence the link to my old favorite ROM from when I had the s4 I put there as reference. He might not be getting an S5 so I just wanted to see if someone could get in touch with him and Maybe get some permissions to do that or w/e..

Well now that i see from my computer rather than phone i guess it's general S5 which is silly that when i click on general under the verizon section it doesnt have it's own section. oh well
It wold be awesome to port this to G900F also. It's the most beautiful TW AOSP theme I have ever seen. Damn you made me regret my old S4 lol. Pure AOSP look with TW Camera...
I follow you, if someone is willing, I would donate for this kind of work.
I will like too a tw with AOSP look

Well, I've learned on this site that not everything is obvious all the time. I've seen T-Mobile and ATT users posting question to this site. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm, but I must agree, if I had read your profile a little closer I wouldn't have had to make any assumptions. My answer, however, remains the same.

My first whack at rom development, seemed to go off without a hitch. Basically a stock rom deodexed prerooted zipaligned deknoxed...so far. Want to make sure i got the basics stable then I plan on getting more heavily into customization and optimization.
PM me for download link

It sure is.
Just a quick update on this. I've been chatting with the developer of the kitchen that I used to cook up the rom, trying to figure out what went wrong. Hopefully we'll have this figured out soon and finally have an alternate to fully stock rom on this device! Keep your fingers crossed!!

Sounds good! You might want to leave the Device Unlock app in the rom btw as it's the only way to carrier unlock this device.

Another quick update for anybody lurking on this thread. We have lift off! lol. Me and bogarty were both able to flash my modified/slimmed down stock rom, So far the rom seems to be running pretty well. I'm making just a few more adjustments before a public release. Soon we will have something a little better then stock for this device. I hope everybody's as excited as I am. And who knows, hopefully we can still get a cm rom by the end of this year (or in general for that matter)
