Hey guys! I have ordered my Galaxy S4 now so I will be a new dev for this device. I originally developed for the Galaxy Note II. And I plan on bringing some awesome ROMs to you guys.
But I have a few questions.
1. Can somebody give me a link to the Stock ROM? And CM10.1 if possible.
2. Is there anything important about this device that I may need to know? Please tell me.
3. What do you guys want in a ROM? Mods/Themes/Ect..
I'm looking forward to developing for you guys!

It's easy to miss CM10.1 becuase the thread for it is in the general section as it's not being maintained by the developer.

Awesome thanks man! I have heard a bunch about the features of the S4 but does all that only come on Stock? Or does Cm10.1 come with those features as well.

You lose all features on AOSP ROMS.

If you like all the new features and options of the Galaxy S4 which are advertised you will
really dislike any of the AOKP/AOSP/CM/MIUI roms.
All the Samsung and Touchwiz features and options are totally missing from those roms.
Those roms are as bare bone as possible. They don't even have wifi calling.
Even the excellent camera/camcorder is replaced with a very degraded camera app which
not only has most of the features and options missing, but the user interface looks like
somekind of home made app which does not even resemble the samsung camera.
But I know you will give the CM10 a try for sure, I did it way too many times in the past many
years and now I cannot think of even one good reason why anyone except for the developers
or people who really like to do a lot of experimentation with their phones flashing or using it.
Leaving a stock theme on your rom is perfect! Then people can theme their own phone because not everyone likes one theme!
About mods, just speed and battery life! Those two are important in my opinion!

I personally love the AOSP feel. As far as theme goes. But when it comes to performance I love stock Touchwiz on my Note II. So thats what I will aim for.
And how is the battery life on this phone? I heard from some people that it is really good and others that it isnt.

Hi Guys,
Soo.. I know this question might of come up like 100's of times BUT, I couldn't find anything for my needs . My question was, as a guy who is starting out on rooting/flashing/roms/themes etc, what do you recommend I use? Which rom and which themes?? (Want a rom with good features, and I am on JB btw)
Would appreciate your opinions...
Thanks!
I suggest you wait until AOKP ROM updates to JB. I had AOKP and it is beyond awesome
I am just rocking stock everything for now though
When will that be updated? Any estimates?

+1 CM10 is very good for starters since all you need to do to change most of the customizable things is change a setting! In other words no flashing themes necessary and since a lot of people use it, there is plenty of support and developers.
Wanted to start a thread in reference to the new slim bean Rom in original development section. As far as I can tell this thing is awesome. Have had zero issues since install. I came from triune II which is another great piece of work. I did a full wipe, using twrp recovery. I stacked the att zip, the common zip, and the nfc fix all in one. I have no echo on either end, no answer delay, and as of yet no screen tearing. Thing is a beast.
Would like to see if it is possible to raise the dpi just a bit without messing up the market if anyone feels like testing and would get back.
You will have two galleries and two cameras, i just deleted one gallery and the other camera went with it.
Edit..I was able to raise my dpi to 280 with no issues so far. Smaller than stock but not too small.
Looking for people to post there experiences and any other discussion about the Rom. The developer wishes for there to be no chatter in the thread, can do it here I guess.

Best rom out there that's not touch wiz imho. I've fallen inlove with it, on my inspire it was miui, but its not ready yet, the few things with this rom is no fb sync, and the torch not bar widget doesnt work, but the actual app does. But other then that best rom out there, stable fast everything works great, except my 6 day old warrente and phone insurance

On the website there are add-on packs with extras such as Google Now. DPI can be changed under settings> developer options > lcd density
Actually this rom is the best non-stock for the Galaxy gs3, I have been thru many roms and this one is the fastest, and the most stable. So stable it runs on my TMO GS3.

My guess is that although the ROM is mostly jelly bean, there are still some ICS components in it until fixes are worked out for those particular jelly bean components.
What specific features other than small size does slim offer that makes it stand out? What features over aokp? What bugs does slim have fixed over aokp? Other than HDMI out ?

I'm not sure there are any "additional features" over AOKP. At least not currently (that I have found). There are actually fewer customization options than you get with AOKP.
I've never had a SLIM ROM on any other phone, so don't know if they plan to add features in the future versions or not.

I know for most the loss of s-pen defeats the purpose of the N2. But the 5.5 RGB, quadcore, would be great for something like CM10 just stock google 4.1.2 . Anyone else agree? Think it would ever happen?

Nope, cause if you're like me, you might care more about the larger screen than the S-Pen. I hardly use it at all, and I'm dying to have the option of using CM10. I really hope it'll happen!! There's a HUGE difference between the stock Samsung rom and AOSP, much more noticeable smoothness. Plus it just looks better imo; I can't stand Samsung's color scheme and design, it's quickly becoming a relic to me..

One of the nice things about rooting, is that you don't have to keep touchwiz.
Here's a nice tutorial I used to really make my device different while keeping the pen functionality.
Youtube Tutorial
I mean, I understand the idea behind AOSP, but a simple theme can be had without switching too much.
I'm guessing for you (and me fwiw), an AOSP +spen variant would be the best. Maybe you could isolate some of the more important pieces of stock sammy, and install them after AOSP.
Which is a good reason for wanting an AOSP.
I am finding swype with the s-pen almost better than two handed typing. Screen size aside, from a productivity standpoint, the s-pen > current AOSP anything.
I tried cm10 from the international version, it was cool. Of course I didn't have signal, but it everything was pretty fast.

Once I get my another laptop. (Hopefully a week) I can start building a device tree for our device phone. Then I will compile you guys a aosp from CM10 sources. I won't be using it myself tho as s daily driver and I do agree thats its pointless to have.
It won't be official because im not a part of the CM Mod team but it will be the same rom.

Thats because of the radio interface layer needs to be decompiled and edited. The htc thunder bolt was the first lte phone and any rom other then stock would not have signal becsuse of said ril files. Of course by now someone figured out how to edit this ril files. I believe I can use the knowledge I learned from editing the TB's ril fil to get CM10 working here.

I'm itching for an AOSP ROM like AOKP. I just really love the look of AOSP and Holo. I believe the best solution to the problem to find some way to automate the porting of N7100 ROMs to N7105s like TMobile/AT&T versions.

I'd like that if we could get dual boot going. I really am missing Paranoid since I got the note2
noted for future reference on my Note 2
id love to see parandroid on the note 2 i havent tried it out yet but from the screenshots and reviews it seems amazing, also the omega rom has top benchmarks on the international version forum so id like to see that too
if you can get multi-window into AOSP I'm all for it. I don't use the pen that much but I love multi-window.
I think aosp and cm are definitely needed. Just look at how popular they were on the original Note.

Agreed. .. They have had that for quite a while now. I could live without the spen but it is growing on me. (One of the reasons I got this phone over the nexus 4.)

So I know the phone is now live and we have a system dump from the international version through Sam mobile.
I was wondering what it would take to get the s4 camera and launcher fully working on s3? Is anyone working on it? How far along are you? Need any testing?
If not, how do I port it? I have the files from the camera, no real experience in porting but I'm a fast learner...
Hope we can jump start this thing and get some of the best S4 features on our beloved S3!

I don't usually answer to these question but really it's near impossible for us to find the ROM for you. You have different needs and taste.
That being said, it should make it fairly easy for you to find the ROM that suits your needs. You don't have to flash them one by one. Simply look at their features, changelog and what users have to say about it.
And if you're really looking to be told which one to use for "best" w/e, go through the dev section and look at the more active threads, chances are that they're the most popular
