need custom ROM with kitkat - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I need a custom ROM for my phone, but it has a few requirements.
*Needs to look and feel like stock Samsung S4. The theme, and GUI layout are what i mostly need out of this. I don't like AOSP.
*It needs to run kitkat (android 4.4)
*needs to be stable
*must not have anything from T Mobile, such as their tethering system or their apps, (but still obviously needs to work with T-Mobile networks)
that's it really. I know i could look on my own, but there are so many ROM's out there, and I'm hoping someone can simply recommend me some to try.

Okay, looks like you're new here so I'll be nice to a noob.
Get one of the CM11 builds from the development subforum, and grab a TouchWiz CM theme from the Play Store. If you also want the TouchWiz launcher, there's some zip floating around that you can flash in recovery to give you that as well, search around.
For the record though, this question is a no no! Because it's so subjective and frowned upon. Be careful from now on my friend. And welcome to XDA.

thank you for not scolding me. I know being the new guy I'm sure to get my fair share of kicks to the butt.I'm here to learn, and hopefully I won't make a bad impression on the crowd. I'm actually rather new to the android thing. I've only just started using a smart phone within the past year (been using regular cell phones for quite some time now, so the jump is massive for me). I'm prepared to be dubbed noob, but in time I hope that will change.
I am a bit lost though. I understand it is indeed subjective, but why is this type of question frowned upon? I want to make sure I don't make the same mistake twice.
Also, thank you for the suggestions. I will surely look into them.
And to anyone reading, please bare with me. I know some answers to my questions must be painfully obvious. But I suppose I have to start somewhere. Baby steps, as they say.

It's frowned on because it's rude to the developers.

[APP][TWEAK]Twiny! Cydia for Android![NEW][WIP]

Hi guys!
Yesterday I was browsing through XDA and spotted some posts about there being no cydia for android! I sat and thought for a few seconds to work out if it would be possible? I had a really good idea and started to create it. What the app does is download tweaks, hacks, launchers, themes, bootanims etc! Its basically one massive place to download your tweaks and hacks! I will be releasing this very soon! But I need to have permission from developers to see if they want to have their ROM's, tweaks etc in this app. Screenies coming soon.. If you want your ROM, tweak, bootanim, theme etc into this app please leave a comment or PM me.
To-Do-List:
- Screenshots (Not Yet Started)
- Repo's (Wait till later date, all will be hosted till later)
- Search (Not Yet Started)
- Home (Done)
- App (Done)
P.S (This is only to the SGS at the moment but I hope to expand!)
Thanks

Thanks for your response. Im just building a place where you can download Already built tweaks and roms ect in one place. I do not have the knowledge to port tweaks or build them. But I can build apps. So what exactly is he doing?

Debloated ROM

Is there a SINGLE Stock ROM just clean? Debloated and so on? No Mods, no crappy Cyanogenmod UI Just same as stock without all those crappy Apps, don't tell me to delete them because that caused million errors on my screen. I can't believe no one got idea of just sweeping it and posting without any useless mods

No devs don't put out those type of roms because it would be a waste of time.. And it's something a general android user should be able to do themselves.
So just root your phone, download either system tuner or titanium back up from the app store, I would recommend system tuner because it backs up the app you uninstall right away so if you experience problems just restore it right away.
Also search for a safe list of bloat to remove its on here. That should take care of your request.

Thank you for giving a good answer to the gentleman asking.
I just wish people would answer the question of the OP and move on instead of going on and on about the OP being a troll or whatever. It doesn't matter if the OP is a troll or not.
Every night before I go to sleep I catch up on a bunch of threads here on XDA. And I find it sad that every time someone posts a stupid question or something everyone attacks them about how much of a troll they are. XDA is here for a purpose: to help and develop. Not flame other people for asking stupid questions. If someone should post a new thread with a question you feel is worthless, don't reply, just leave it or give an answer to the OP's question and move on without flaming. And that's where Mods come in. They will clean up as necessary. If a post is worthless, the Mods will clean it up. Don't reply to the thread saying Mods do this, do that. Obviously they know what they're doing so let them do their job.
If XDA worked like that, we would have a wonderful community full of people helping people without the unnecessary flaming which always carries on and on especially on development threads which can get very frustrating especially when sifting through threads for information.
Just a little bit of insight into what I think.

RAM consumption on task's 4.2.2

So I love the ROM, and if I restart phone ram is low.... After I use a few programs (face book, XDA, internet sect...) My ram consumption gets very high... Then even after I kill all APPS and programs my team is still up in the 8-900 and only leaves me 3-300 left.... Have to restart phone to get ram to drop back down to 400.... any tricks on getting that low without restarting phone? Any help is appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
So I read somewhere in these ROMs rambar does not report ram correctly... Is this true?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
1.) Searching would've answered this for you. Or even just checking the AOKP website. It states that the rambar doesn't read correctly.
2.) Android is a Linux derivative. It kills things on its own just fine. You shouldn't need to. This device has 2gb of ram which is usually always enough to work with.
3.) There is a dedicated sticky just above this thread you started for Q & A about this ROM. Why start a new thread?
Because I didn't see it. And this is posted in the q&a and help thread. You need to relax task and stick to developing rather then running around worried about who posts where.
I didn't post in your precious Dev thread because I expected the same kind of answer, but thanks for giving me a hard time and the answer, your simply amazing and such a god in these forums....
And I do search, but never from my computer always from my phone, and I seen to have a little problem finding and searching for stuff using the app on my phone.

You don't search. This thread you started proves that. It also proves that you don't even bother to read an OP of a rom that you flash considering the simple fact that the FAQ (which is the Q&A also) is very blatantly and obviously posted in it. We make those types of threads to avoid pointless thread starts like these. Good job dude. :good:
OK I am closing this up now. But before I do let me make one point clear. This is not a support forum. If you are trouble shooting issues with a custom OS on a $500 device you should use more powerful tools. Like a computer. Apps are limited and always will be. What you are doing should not be taken lightly. You could end up with a brick that warrenty doesn't cover.

[Q] Release Question:

Hi.
I have a GS3 - ATT. I have the SynergyROM installed on it.
I read everyday on forums, that people that are coming from iPhones are experiencing lag, and problems with speed on their devices. I had the same with my GS3, but then I started working on settings of my phone.
In the moment, my phone is very fast. It's super stable, and has good battery life. So my question is. Is it possible for me to release the rom that I'm running, and if I do how would I do it? I don't mean on how to get the rom out to the public, I mean rights. I don't want to take credit for the rom, just for the modifications.
What exactly is the purpose of this thread????
Are you trying to advertise a ROM?
To who are you trying to advertise the ROM to?
If its not your own work please ask the correct person for permission to use his work with your mods.
If its just certain setting, than share your settings in that ROMs thread.
This is XDA home if many ROMs, people have plenty of ROMs to chose from.
And what works on your phone may not work for others.

Contact the person who cooked that ROM and ask for permission first.

And if its just certain settings that are changed I don't think there is need for an extra ROM with just "tweaked settings"

The modification is made by me completely. The battery life is 10 hours with heavy use. I've installed around 30-apps, and there is no slow down so far.
App: Saver v1.1
I'm almost done with the app. I will release it on the forums. I've attached some photos, and a battery pic.
