[Q] Starter - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Im thinking about rooting this phone and I would like to know what rom would be good as a daily driver. Another thing is that im thinking of doing the same to my moms s4 but for her I will need a basic rom that will not have any bugs since she doesnt know anything about root. And would 4.3 be good to start or does it have many bugs in it.

All of the ROMs here are good enough to be used as a daily driver. They each have their pros and cons, and all of the AOSP/CM ROMs have little things here and there that don't work JUST right. It's up to you to try them out and see what works for you. I recommend doing a bit of reading on the development and original android development sections.

I'd put wicked 5.1 on both s4s

any one you want, there is no best rom, there is no best battery life rom

I am using wicked 5.1 . but if you want simplicity for your mom's s4, I would go with an AOSP ROM. And for you, you have to try them all out to see which one you like. Everybody has different preferences.

So would it be safe to put 4.3 stock no root on my moms phone and put cm10.2 on mine

All of the above is correct, there is not one rom better than the other, it is a matter of opinion, and here I have put together a guide for tw roms...
take your pick.

For you options are endless Try wicked...its full of goodness, or jedi Roms or jovys Roms.
I and most prefer Wicked roms.
Your mom probably won't benefit from any root or roms.. but if you insist on Rooting leaving hers on stock Rom is always a solid choice.

Woudl it really be worth it to root this phone. I like a stock feel so would CM10.2 be the right way to go.

My suggestion would be root it and then get flash happy for a couple of days, until you come across the one that best suits your needs. There are many options and everyone has there own preference. I prefer PACman myself.

This is a great answer because in the big picture of learning what to do so you can help yourself in case of any problems in the future this is the right answer.

Rooting is for those of us who like to mess with our phones. Too root your phone and then throw stock back on it in some cases makes no sense. If you are happy with your phone then dont touch it.
Everyone's rooting experience is different so asking others will only give you some false info and some true info. Again only way to find out is to do it for yourself. Go into development and read up on the roms and see which one makes you go damn this looks nice and flash it
You cant recommend jedi jelly to a noob...it still has a few issues to be worked out. But i do suggest rooting and flashing roms. And asking whats the best/most stable rom you're going to get alot of diffrrent answers. Just try them for yourself.

Jedi knight 6 is super fast and stable I seem to always go back it it after trying others.
I have tried liquid smooth, cm10, UNICEF and some others I Dont remember. I'm going to try Jedi jelly when the next version is released.

My random ported roms thread

Basically what this thread is meant to be is just a thread where I port random ROMs I don't really want to support or bother with bugs. You'd be surprised about how many cool looking roms there are Here's a list if what I'm porting. List will get bigger as i find something of interest . Ideas/suggestions are welcomed *I do not mess with international roms * I'm not risking my phone or yours
*Disclaimer: some of these ports might be roms I haven't tried on my phone due to lazyness so i might not know if it boots but you take the risks of flashing so its not my fault if your phone bites the dust

I would test on my phone when I don't have anything happening and if I'm not busy. I usually don't have time to wipe my phone. For example im 2 releases behind on my own rom because I don't have time to update. Also any rom I post here won't brick your phone the worse that can happen is a boot loop. Like right now i have the time to test my provision port from the Gnex and it bootloops so gonna figure this one out

Is this still live I'm wondering about doing Provision aka jelly vision but the only one that is 4.1.2 is on a international. So that might be out of the question right now unless some one wants to do one from source. I don't know how to build from scratch. But what needs to be done to port from the Sprint Galaxy Nexus everything I've tried it just bootloops....what am I missing I've followed the usual port guides for ICS/JB I have ported Roms before with no issues but this one is giving me headache:banghead:

tweaked 2.3 rom or any jedi rom. they are the most stable and everything works.
i am not a touchwiz guy but i am on the tweaked rom because i love the volume hack...
as for aosp roms which are non touchwiz. i would say pacman rom or aokp.
but be careful not to ask questions like this to often because it is really up to the person using the rom what
is the best. everything is not for everyone.. good luck... but for my two cents, as much as i love aosp roms it seems that the
touchwiz ones seem to work best with the note 2. hate to say that..lol
There are alot of roms out there it jusr depends on your personal preferences. Just flash away and see which roms you like and comfortable with.

CleanROM if you want a very minimized but very fast/smooth and stable stock experience.
SkyNote for a fast/smooth experience while having lots of customization options (clock, notification bar transparency, hold back to kill, etc.) Jedi Rom is also great for customization as well.
jedi, clean, skynote, one of the miui, novella, ultimate, amospherium, hawkish, clearn rom SE, the list goes on and on when it comes to touchwiz based roms..there are even more than the ones I listed..
Ive actually heard of those but I havent flashed all of them. Im actuay hopeing to find a touch wiz rom that has a good bit of customizing
