Roms for old bootloader ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anything recent? no AOSP Roms please.
Are there any touchwiz 4.4.2 roms made specifically for users of the old bootloader?

I recommend this one, based on stock TW 4.4.2, works on the old boot loader no problem. Updated all the time with newer firmware and plenty of add-ons to choose from.

I've been doing that, but being on the old bootloader means allot of the TW roms don't work quite right and I end up wasting allot of time flashing and reading through pages and pages of reply's..

Thread closed as its basically a Best ROM thread.

thanks!

if the rom is based on stock firmware then yes all s pen features work, if it's cm or any cm based roms then they don't work

and aosp/aopk?
those are the ones I would prefer. but those aren't based on stock firmware. so they don't support s-pen?

Nope, as they are based on CM. You could install apps similar to the spen features but its no way near as close to stock I'm afraid.

AOSP Look TW ROM??

Hey all, I usually don't do this as I've seen some other people bi*****g about development on this phone and how it's stalled. I am NOT saying that at all, was just wondering if anyone is/doing/going to develop a TW (since no AOSP ) ROM that looks like AOSP? Somewhat like @nitroglycerine33's Eclipse? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840
Or if anyone knows how to and would like to, I have some people who are very interested in having ROM(s) out there like this and can donate. Thanks
try raffaeles88 foxhound rom.. it's the closest one to aosp.. ?

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.

Lol well the first assumption should be easy as i posted in Verizon general S5. And an obvious yes for the 2nd as i know the only aosp roms are for the dev ed. Alliance rom is nice but too big and many things with stock ugly 4.4 colors

"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.

Any 5.0 compatible custom kernel ?

New user of s5 here. Just flashed a aosp 5.0 rom.however the battery doesnt seem to be very good compared to my last phone nxs5 with code blue kernel. Not to mention the performance was awesome!
I was hoping i could be directed towards some compatible kernels with lollipop ( tw or aosp). Thanks.

No apparently there is not yet. This is because all of the 5.0 Touchwiz rom releases are only leaks. Which means there is no kernel source code out for ktoonsez to modify.

oh.ok. thanks again
Meanwhile there are Kernel for TW made by Ktoonsez.
In my mind, the latest beta Kernel works best (01/16)

Which Rom is good for s4 I9505 and without problems

Plz guys help to find good Rom for my S4 without more problems
you should say more about what you're looking for in a rom. do you want Samsung features and touchwiz or a pure Android AOSP or something more modified like cyanogenmod ?
only a Samsung based rom will give you full features in the camera or MHL support. AOSP and CM will be usually faster and give more free internal space. no rom is going to be perfect though as that is also a measure of personal preference and custom roms often have tiny bugs in them.
usually talk of which rom is the best is discouraged here, we are urged to try some for ourselves and make our own choice...
Stock and Unrooted is the best...

Lol. Seriously?
What harm does root access and debloated roms do?
It is like blaming the gun and not the person who pulled the trigger when someone is killed. :/
And FYI due to the heavy amounts of bloatware and other unwanted stuff, the performance is slow in stock roms and also not all of them are stable.

Yes i think is good way but lollipop still have problems like when i reboot my phone is forget passwords wifi ...
Just stay on debloated stock ROMs with stock or close-to-stock kernel. That's it.

There are some roms for it. Check here on XDA on Android Development thread and you will find some roms, the one I prefer is this https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-geforce-v1-0-t3573489 . There are also some roms on htcmania http://www.htcmania.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2055 , from this site I used Kyubi Rom Ux The Last and it was good.
