Hi!
I´m searching for a very light and debloated rom for my girlfriends S4 Mini. Something like xtresto for s5 which also has an aroma installer for optional apps. But most important it should be debloated and stable. I prefer customizing roms with xposed modules
Maybe you can recommend me a good one.

Yes, before you say "another one of these threads". I've tried searching through the forums, and I've tried a quite some roms.
I am asking for help finding a:
1. STABLE.
2. VERY FAST.
3. STRIPPED / NO EXTRAS.
4. WITH TOUCHWIZ
If somebody can help me find a rom for the i747 that has that, I would be very grateful.. Also, can you SKIN a rom with touchwiz?

Here's a few that seem popular and from what i know a rom would need the samsung framework to incorporate touchwiz.

There are a couple Touchwiz themes, but not many. I'm probably generalizing too much here, but I think most people who come here to XDA want something other then Touchwiz, so your theme selection may not be very high
Check out the Theme's and Apps subforum. I know I remember seeing a couple TW themes there.
By the way... This is a question, and probably should have been in the Q&A forum

Second: All TW ROMs are stable and the OP lists all the features. Battery life depends on your use, no one elses.
This is why these are closed.
Hey all, I hope this is an okay place to post this and I tried searching around but wasn't able to get good information.
Essentially I'm really annoyed with the extra Samsung software and really want to try a custom rom but I also need to use my phone for work so it needs to be pretty reliable. As far as I can tell CM is still in a beta / alpha state for Note 2 (unless I am mistaken).
Are there any specific roms that have been tested well / known for being the most reliable? I love playing around with roms but I am having a rough time trying to figure out which roms are most stable, which are experimental, etc.
There are several roms that are very stable. Depending on your personal taste, you will want to first decide if you want a TouchWiz based rom or a AOSP based rom. Then find the rom that interests you and read the forum for the roms and see if there are stability issues for those roms. You should probably stick with a more stock rom that has been debloated. I personally use Synergy rom and you have the option to install the rom without the bloat apps or with them. Its within the Aroma installer during the flash process that allows you to customize your Os install. I would download and flash an earlier version between r51 and r85. The newest version has significant issues as it is still being debugged. Other than Synergy there a few other TouchWiz based roms that are debloated and offer different tweaks etc. CM based roms are very stable actually.I hope this helps.

I myself have been thoroughly enjoying INFAMOUS S4. It has the features I need, is faster than stock, and is very stable with great battery life. Just did a full backup of 3.3 and upgrading to 3.4 as I type this

does INFAMOUS S4 rom get rid of the bloatware?

Sure does. They also have a zip with the bloat should you require it for some reason.

Instead of giving you a particular ROM suggestion, I'll give you the best way to find the one that best suits you. First, you have to decide what features you want. If you want all the smart stays, the air move, and the other Samsung stuff, you definitely want TouchWiz. If you want a (negligibly) more responsive feel that's more barebones and to the core of Android, go with one based on/around CyanogenMod (or even the Google Edition). Before flashing any new ROMs I'd spend at least an hour reading through both the Android Development and Original Android development sections. You don't have to read every page of every thread, but at the very least read the OP. You should know within the 1st page what features are included, whether it's TouchWiz or not, if it's themed, etc. Most of the TW ROMs are already debloated and will say so in the OP. The CM bases have no carrier bloat at all. If it interests you, take a look at the last few pages. The reason you want to read the last few pages is to get a feel of what bugs are present. As the ROMs get updated and the threads grow, chances are that problems reported on the 3rd page aren't going to be relevant on page 26. If you try one you like, make a nandroid backup of it and keep the backup updated: that way, if another one pops up that you want to try, or you just feel adventurous and want something new, you'll have your backup(s) and can much more easily surf between ROMs if you so desire.
I've gone through Wicked, Jedi, Infamous S4, Infamous Google Edition, and Alpha roms. Personally, I liked Jamison's Infamous roms the best. I'm currently on his Alpha rom, which is based on the international phone's firmware(or something like that?) and has no wifi calling. But it's pretty smooth. Currently Jamison seems to be the fastest on updating all three of his roms, so if you want continual added features/bug fixes go with any of his roms. Wicked was very nice and stable when I used it, but I got flash-happy and couldn't stick with it since he updates like once a month. In the end it's all up to you though.
P.S. The Infamous S4 and Alpha roms recently have had the Samsung apps added back in, not sure why cos I haven't really read all the posts in the thread. You can easily remove them yourself though.

Members are expected to do the research and read through the ROM threads in development before flashing software that will drastically alter their $700 device.
Hello guys, my question is which rom is now best to use (most stablest, best performance) for rom with Android 4.4.2 KitKat for HOX? What do you advise to me?
Like we say this to everyone who is asking this......try them yourself, test them for a couple of days. Then pick the one which suits you personally the best, there is no "best" rom at all. The best rom is the rom that has all features that you need as a user of that specific rom.
Thread closed,
Thread has been closed as per reasons stated above and it is against forum rules to have best rom threads.
