So I have a Galaxy S4 T-Mobile version as you may all have guessed and right now have AOKP flashed to the latest version. I still find it a bit unstable however and I am getting tired of the all blue interface. I wish to go back to a touchwiz looking interface but not touchwiz itself. Im looking for something very stable, not a lot of bloatware and easily updatable. Also some extra things which don't HAVE to be in there but would be very nice are wifi tethering and a boost in battery life and performace. So if you guys could please recommend me something I would greatly appreciate it!

Just go into the dev sections and look at different ROMs descriptions. It should tell you what the ROM have or not have features wise. Chose one you think is best for you.
Do you want/need T-mobile's Wifi calling?
Do you need/want app2sd?
I'm on Infamous S4 V5.0, T-mobile TW base ROM. Most everything work just fine so far.

And members are expected to do the research of any ROM before drastically altering their $700 device. One person's opinion may not match up with yours so please go to the Development section and read through the first few posts of each ROM to decide for yourself which is best.

I have been trying to stick it out with CM10 on my d2tmo GS3 but it seems like they are dealing with a lot of problems right now.
I would like some recommendations for a stable 4.2.1 or higher ROM that has good BT audio quality (preferably 4.2.2 but stable and BT quality are more important). My other preferences are that I would greatly prefer to use Google Now over the Samsung S-voice (or whatever it is called) and generally prefer for those OS to have a more vanilla Android style (closer to what Google intended and not what Samsung did).
Thinking about maybe liquidsmooth 4.2.2 but I understand that is CM based, so it might not solve any of my problems. Might try it anyway.

And the simplest thing to do is make a backup with CWM (nandroid) and try the ROM. Try a different one everyday. No one knows better than you if it will work for you.
New PTMR3 rom
PTMR3 just released a new 4.2.2 AOSP rom called "Sons of Android". it worked real well with my Bluetooth.. it is great rom for me so far.. here is the link..

I prefer AOKP. Simple,minimalistic,clean, and bloat free so it's not to hard on operating speeds. Also if you do use a custom rom whatever it may be don't forget to flash gapps too
I haven't been back in the forums for a few months, and immediately noticed that the number of new ROMS in the "Original Development" forum has exploded!
Does anybody know which JB ROM supports usb/dock audio? I currently run my audio in my car through a GROM unit with ICS.
TIA!
As far as I know only TW Roms support the dock audio. It's listed in the CM 10.1 ROM as a known issue and I don't think any other ROMS have a fix. I'm actually on a TW rom because of this issue. I'd love for someone else to tell us otherwise.

TW, as in TWRP?
TW as in TouchWIZ i.e. a ROM based off of Samsungs stock ROM. In other words, my impression is none of the 'Original Development' roms have dock audio working. All of the roms in 'Android Development' if based off of the GB27 release, would have that functionality working just fine.

Ok, after trying a bunch of the cool roms on the board, I've decided to install something and forget about it. Been looking for a nicely tweaked and trimmed down version of the stock rom but can't find anything. The problem is, all of the ones I've tried have some kind of an annoying bug or missing functionality, that ends up being more annoying than it's worth. I dislike the TW launcher, but I guess it's a good trade off for a stable working phone. If there's a themed stock rom (all of touchwiz functionality) minus the kiddie icons, please let me know. I'm using the LiquidSmooth 2.5 official now, and I love this rom, but it has a few too many bugs that are very irritating. For example, the camera is junk. Can't focus if it's life depends on it. I keep getting all kinds of artifacts on screen when unlocking the phone, MMS doesn't work half the time and so on. An ideal rom would be something that looks like LS but functions like stock TW but I guess that's impossible.
So please recommend me a stock based rom. Even if it's just stock rooted with the bloatware removed it would be fine. Thank you so much for your time.
Edit: Forgot to add, phone is US AT&T
There is no most stable rom just stick with what works best for you. Not everyone has the same experience on a rom. This thread is going to be locked.

Every ROM is going to have bugs, or things that dont work out.
thats why there is nighty releases of roms, to get most bugs worked out.
Theyre never going to be bug free because of the constant updates and features being added.
only true bug free is Touchwiz.
like the user above you said, you need too look for something that is stable for YOU.
a search would of let you figure this out, a search would of also pointed in the right direction on where to post questions.
this thread needs to be closed.
XDA is a site for development and what is best (stable) for one is not necessarily best for another, users need to test and read and learn on their own.
Hey everybody! I did a search before posting this and couldn't find an answer so here is my question...
I was thinking of switching over to a TW rom but I don't really know what the main difference is in terms of features and bugs. Also, what is everything I need to do to switch over?
I am running Beanstalk which I believe is CM10.1 based.
Thanks for the help!
features are basically what the new rom includes and bugs are small problems that may be being worked on.
Flowed Away From My Samsung E4GT!
Thanks for the reply but I'm trying to compare the features of those types of roms with what I have
well of course some(awesome) features included in cm10.1 will not be able in tw, preferably cm10.1 has many more features than any tw rom, the themeing ability and the new privacy guard.

I would read through the rom op and decide which one appeals to you. As for asking about the differences. Nobody can answer that man because they are all different...they are after all custom roms..But just look around and when you find one you like...Follow the op.I would think you would benefit from reading through the stickies and some guides also. There is a great amount of knowledge to be had in this forum...Good Luck. and use that search button..
are there any TW roms that give us the quick reply like in CM for messaging?
Is there a rom that isnt touchwiz based like cm10.2 or paranoid but that supports apps 2sdcard? i love little minions rom but i really just love aosp roms i just would like to see apps 2sd card support! any Roms like that available?
Several are available. Check the Android Developers thread the TMobile Samsung Galaxy S4 section.
This is just 1 example of the several there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337709

You are going to have to do this research yourself. Threads like this which inevitably turn into "Which rom is best" discussions are not permitted on XDA.
Spend the time to read through all of the descriptions of available roms in the dev section. Try a bunch of them out to find one that is right for you. You will learn A TON in this process and it's a great experience.
Getting other people to simply telly ou which rom to use will not help you learn anything.
