Do you think this will be an easy port to bring a ROM to our T-Mobile devices, or will we need a radio update (like the TW 4.3 ROMs are requiring)?

I think it will be an easy port.
There are already 4.4 roms for the S4 coming out. All of the custom roms like CM and AOKP are ultimately based on the 4.4 source.

Sweet! That's what I assumed as well. I won't say I can't wait because I can, but I am certainly anxious. Kit Kat runs very lovely on my Nexus 7 'S, both 2012 & 2013.

Probably AOSP roms only, which I've been running Illusion 4.3 for as long as it's been out with no issues.

Well I'm running cm10.2 now. So what's the difference between aosp and cm?

It's already been confirmed that we will get it, most likely before the end of the year.

Not much, most AOSP ROMs are built around CM, plus other sources like Paranoid, MIUI, Rootbox, and AOKP. CM version will change once and if they upgrade to 4.4.
CM is basically AOSP with tweaks
This kitkat conversation belongs here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45307126
Thank you for your future cooperation.

Hello Developers
is someone able to create an AOSP (KitKat 4.4) ROM for our Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini? It would be great if we have a "vanilla" Android version for our Smartphone and this can be used as base for other ROMs. Would be great if someone could build it
Greetings

Most ROM are based on AOSP or CM (which CM is based on AOSP) :/
And if you want a minimum ROM, there's few ROMs are even less 'bloat' and more 'vanilla' than AOSP itself.
I think he meant that he wanted an actual aosp rom, not just an aosp based rom. While we don't have a pure "aosp" rom for our phones, cyanogenmod is pretty close, slimkat is also pretty bare if you're into that. I'm sure a lot of people could port it, it just remains to be seen if any developer is interested enough to actually do it.
Yes a pure AOSP ROM would be great. The whole ROMs which are aviable for our device are based on AOSP so I think it wouldn't be so difficult to build one from AOSP isn't it?

Slim kat is equal to Slim ROM? In that case there is already a port to the S4 mini in the developer section of this forum

Well technically if we can build the 4.4 kernel from source then we could port it. Although I am sure it will require devs to fix the posted source before it can compile properly.
So waiting for an official release will be easier and less problematic. It will mot be very much longer before the official version is out. Two months tops.

well CM and Carbon sure are and once they finished there "stable-ish" 5.0 nightly that's probably when our/the D2LTE Dev's will take a crack at it but they could go above and beyond and make it before them but i would say only if they choose to...and if your wondering about stock TW based roms that will only happen if Samsung updates us to 5.0 TW....
the i9300 and i9350 are getting AOSP Lollipop love via ports http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/rom-namelessrom-t2939673 <---one example but we just have to be patient and see if our Devs make a port or source built AOSP custom rom for us....
Hi, I'm sorry if this is not the spot to post this but i am looking for an android 4.4 rom for my verizon galaxy nexus. I want to use AOKP but they took down the 4.4 rom for this phone and it bums me out as i also want to use franco kernal and AOKP was the only rom that supported it. I wanted to either use AOKP or and old version of Cyanogenmod and LineageOS only has version 13 of their roms and i think they are Android 6.0. I have had performance issues on anything Android 5.0 and higher and Android 4.2.2 Official release no longer supports some of the apps that i use. Any help would be nice as Android 4.4 is kinda the sweet spot for this phone and I had the same issue with my Droid Razr. Found an old Cyanogenmod android 4.4 rom for it and its perfect. Any help would be nice. Thank you!

OMG Thank You!! People on reddit want to complain that kitkat is unsecure. Yea i know and i am willing to live with it though. their website only has old jellybean roms for this phone and i wanted kitkat. I wish they had one for the Droid Razr but sadly they dont but i did find an old Cyanogenmod rom for it and that worked. I have also noticed that they run better on kitkat. LineageOS has BAD performance issues on these old devices. Thanks Again!

I do agree with you KitKat provides the best performance on these legacy 1GB memory phones but I would recommend that you use one of the two most recently updated ROMs (unlegacy android / omni), both from 2018 rather than these almost four-year-old ROMs...

I have heard of omni rom but I have never heard of unlegacy android. Could you provide a link to the site for it? Also the mobile app does not do well with going to other forums so I am not sure about the links above u sent for the two roms.

So whats the difference with Tune and toro? sometimes i see it called tuna and other times toro????
There were three main variants of the GNex. The US carrier-specific ones were toro and toroplus, while the rest of the world were all maguro (despite there being many different model numbers). All three are subsets of tuna. The various custom ROM communities have tried to unify their builds as much as possible, so even where final builds are still separate, a lot of what's inside them is generic tuna.

Yep. Emphasis on "should", of course (as with any custom ROM - sometimes even with stock :laugh: ).

No idea, sorry. I went from stock 4.3 to LineageOS 13 (equivalent to 6.0.1) late last year because of the Krack and BlueBorne exploits. It's my only phone, and until I get another I have no wish to switch to something else. (My usage is pretty light, so I just put up with the occasional reboot.) In hindsight, I probably should have checked out the 4.4 possibilities, but LOS was the best known custom ROM, so that's what I chose.

I currently use a Droid turbo but have a Droid razr and want to have a galaxy nexus both on KitKat in case I need to use either. I have a Droid Maxx but I broke the volume buttons on it. I had them fixed but they can break again and I just don't want to take the risk. Also because I broke them I won't be selling the phone.
