hi all
i have SPH-L710 (sprint official rom LJ7) but im rooted and have cwm installed.
i know there are a few stock rooted roms floating around but im still not sure what the ones are with the most support, stable and well pretty much works just like the official less the bloat.
i would like to be running jb 4.2.1 (but this is no a requirement if it means something breaking)
i would like to be able to overclock the cpu (if its safe and people have had success with it)
i would definately like to get rid of the sprint apps and even alot of the samsung apps (most of them) but i think i want to keep the stock dialpad and that might be part of samsung rom.
any input would be great (even if it just naming the roms so i can do further research) but i would like to hear from people who have actually tried these roms as you would know if things are broken or quirks or whatever.
thanks

You posted this in the wrong place. The best answer you will get its too go read dude. There are so many roms for many different tastes. Read and find what works best for you.

not trying to start a flame war at all
its just that there is so many roms (even with touchwiz only) and that means tons of pages for each one from the beginning of dev to current so i always read the last 5 pages or so of each rom and that gives me an idea.
bascially looking for the names and stability of each rom and whats broke.
the 4.1.1 is ok with me too but would be nice for 4.2.1 but stability is more important

you could do that. also, before flashing the .zip just delete the apps you don't want from the system/app folder - i do this on 100% of the roms i flash. the link above is a great starting point, it's best to freeze apps and see what the effect is using titanium backup, then you can gauge which apps you know you wanna remove from the system/app folder before you flash future roms...

So I went ahead and flashed the i9505 Wanam Rom from here and it works great on my M919. The rom doesn't have a modem so I figured it would be safe and sure enough it was. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283194
No wipe is required either. I simply flashed it using CWM and I now have a GT-I9505 model with all T-Mo bloatware gone! I really like the blue dialer on this too!
You will get reboot notifications, to remove that simply download "Bloatware Freezer" from Playstore and freeze the app called SEAndroid. That should take care of it.

No Tmo features...obviously.
Yes, a lot of people don't realize their options for goodies go beyond just the specific m919 forum. Check out the general international S4 I9505 forums. It's were I spend most my time.
Development is lagging for the m919 variant. There are only a few ROMs & choices, with slow updates.... and plenty of time has passed since release, so I'm not sure how much better it will get. It's the one negative part about Sammy devices....fragmentation of the same model. It would be nice to see a majority of elite Devs working on the same model....like the One.
MANY of the mods/themes/ROMs etc...work great with our device. The radio is the only difference between various 9505 models.
Cheers!
Awesome. But who puts a modem in custom roms now days? Lol Now that I can see that this phone is actually the same hardware as the international we can have roms from there too..... In this case if a leak of a newer android update comes out we can have it port over. And not wait for tmobile,,,
If that the case than AT&T, VERIZON, AND SPRINT can be ported all like on the s3 but the fun part is the even international too
I hope this all works so far I'm very happy with wicked but more options are never a bad thing
Sent from my SGH-M919
Wow I had no idea I could use i9505 roms. I thought i may be able to but wasn't sure. Awesome.
Working great so far. Only problem I noticed so far was constant notification from SEAndroid. I simply freezed it using bloatware freezer from Playstore.

lol give us more time, mate. would you rather we release untested ROMs? i'm sure there are a number of us floating around here that have a ROM we can put out right this second but it is good practice to test first and ensure there are no issues. this can take a little bit. i myself am in testing phase. maybe the phone has been out a while, but i personally have only had one for 2 and a half weeks. a lot of stuff in the other sections will be ported over. i have to get a good working and stable base out first before i start adding in more tweaks that will seemingly overwhelm most typical users.
also, please be weary of flashing an entire ROM from i9505 section. if there are CSC bits contained within it, you won't have a signal like you're supposed to.
Totally agree with the previous poster. These things take time to make.
With that said this is good news. Hopefully, we can get a dev to port these over with TMO features & Csc files.
I know AT&T GN2 had an awesome dev that ported Int GN2 over with options for TMO, AT&T & Canadian carriers.

Any ROM made for I9505, you can use. Make sure the ROM doesn't have a modem baked into it (ROMs usually don't, but you must make sure). You will then have to download and app called "Bloatware Freezer" from Play Store and freeze the system app called 'SEAndroid'
thank for the tip mate

Works great, even support video call like you see in the Korean dramas. Too bad no US provider supports that
Any way if we manually added or flashed the T-Mobile bloat we could use visual voicemail at least?
Also do you feel that the battery life and overall performance is better in these ROMs?
Can we still use 4g/ 4g lte with these ROMs automatically or do we need to mess with the APN to a certain extent?
Thank you. I am considering flashing because I'm loving those ROMs and themes in the international forums especially that dark android theme that doesn't work well with our phones

I was thinking whether it is possible to have multi window mod for aosp roms.
Goodness of tw in aosp
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
No...
multi window needs TW framework.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No, its not possible yet. It has to be somehow written into the framework and nobody has created anything yet. There probably wont be unless Cyanogenmod, AOKP or ParanoidAndroid decide to incorporate the feature into there roms.
So unless Google decides to have multi windows in Nexus ,aosp will not get it..

I highly doubt Google will ever even consider adding it to AOSP but it is very more likely for Cyanogenmod or AOKP to consider adding some variation of it to there roms, unless of course Samsung has some kind of bs licensing garbage or something like that on it.
Paranoid Android is supposedly going to add they're own version of multi-window named Halo soon, but looks nothing like the TW version. Closest thing to having in an AOSP ROM as of yet.

Halo is not multi window, it's a notification system. Different idea and concept.
Sent from my T-Mobile Galaxy S3
CyanogenMod wanted to include cornerstone, a multiwindow mod, into CM9. Steve even had screenshots of it integrated and running here.
However, the Android team warned against it, stating that they want to give their app developers a consistent environment to test and run their apps.
Okay, let me please please beg you not to do this. I can guarantee you this introduces all kinds of application compatibility issues. We work really hard to give our developers a consistent environment where their apps will operate correctly across all the devices Market runs on, not being impacted by negative reviews from bad devices that they should not have to deal specially with.
If you start making your own distributions of Android behaving in such fundamentally different ways, I suspect we are going to need to start doing things to prevent you from impacting our app ecosystem. I'm not sure what, but I could imagine things such as restricting how users can interact with Market apps on these devices (not allowing reviews or such).
We have let a lot of things in this area slide -- for example to be allowed to include Market on your device you are supposed to fully pass CTS. However, if you start really diverging from the core Android platform (I would argue this takes you well into the realm of a fork rather than a customization) then some deep issues are going to come up about how we handle these custom builds.
We have been putting a lot of thought and work for a number of years into how to let Android applications run on increasingly diverse and dynamic screens. Doing this correctly, without impacting our app developers in a negative way, is a really challenging problem. I also think it is something that needs to be done at the mainline platform level, not as a customization, because doing it right is going to require new well defined interfaces with applications for them to interact with it, possibly starting with just a facility they need to use to opt in to it.

Unfair... That'd had been the best feature in an AOSP rom by far.
Background Info:
I have a wonderful Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that T-Mobile has corrupted. I deleted about 90% of the bloatware by rooting my phone. However, when I boot my phone I get a constant reminder that T-Mobile still won this fight: A nice long clip of their logo with an annoying startup sound. Also, recently I found out that they blocked my tethering and hotspot capabilities. I will not be defeated so easily.
Goal:
Reinstall the android OS for the Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE.
- Basically only want the OS and the drivers required for the phone to operate normally.
- It ill remove all non-samsung or android features.
Ensure that T-Mobile Won't get to add that crap (I've switched to another carrier and unlocked the phone).

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your time and help. Secondly, if you need more information to properly help me please ask. Also, If you know of a thread that already answers this, please post the link.

LOL. ...T-mo still won the fight?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. .lol
Anyway, I guess you are talking about "boot animation". That is embedded in the Rom, every carrier has its own animation.

Yep! You got it, I must not have been clear in my article. I'll need to change that.
If you do want TouchWiz and Samsung's apps like S-Note and the multi-window stuff, check out ROMs based on the N7105 software.
Just wondering if any of the Devs are working on a ROM similar to the note 3 yet?

Not sure what you mean. The Note 3 just runs a TWiz ROM like any other TWiz ROM with a bunch of Sammy bloatware added.

Anything is possible on xda! But for real we just need a system dump and the devs I'm sure will be able to figure some features out if not all of them.

I'd wager these features will get backported in an official release. Just like Note2's multiwindow got backported to the Note 1.
Who knows when Samsung will release said though

Depends entirely on how Samsung integrated these into the ROM.. Or if they're just apks that don't depend on that much. With how Samsung willingly chooses to completely rewrite TouchWiz for every minor update, I'll guess that these features deeply depend on ROM code... And as such we have to wait for an official update.
That is sheer supposition at this point.

This is exactly what I was trying to ask. Yes I know most of touchwiz is pretty much just bloatware but some of the new feature looked like they would actually be useful.
