Read through the ROMS posted and find one with features that fit your wants. Some are performance driven, and some are customization driven. Only you know what your looking for. Start reading threads in the development forums.

Well around here you'll find out, That what tolerated nothing. It's nothing personal against you.
O yeah I know just gotta get used to these forums. Yeah I found some stockish Tom's with features I want. Triune 2 and nastolgia are the 2 that caught my attention. I want a good kernel to use and found one that has oc which would be nice.

Dude, stop it, we are not going to answer anything on this thread. After being chastised you still find ways to come back and now put forward requirements for your perfect ROM, for the community to hunt or build for you? Classy...

My ROM is the greatest of all!!
No. Not really. :laugh:
The greatest ROM of all is the one you build yourself.
All ROMs are great to each of the members using it.
You will need to make a backup and try each until one suits YOU

[Q] New to this forum question

So can someone explain why there's two different development threads for the same device? An original and a regular? I'm not new to xda nor rooting but the two threads for development caught me of guard. Thanks a bunch and sorry but i didn't find the answer through the search function.

The Original Development thread is for ROMs built straight from source I believe, strictly AOSP roms. The regular development thread is for stock ROMs, AOSP, and everything else.

Come on guys..if you dont want to add anything just dont comment and ignore it..
am a developer as well and still sometimes after extensive searches things are no clear..
no need of being a smart ****
From what I read till now on this forum, there are big diferences on how v500 is partitioned and how is v510 partitioned. So the answer is no you not could install GPE rom on v500. Until now...only option fot kitkat is custom roms

We may get it eventually but as for now conversion does not occur.

Look up the definition of spam.
The op is the one not using proper etiquette and breaking forum rules.

Being polite and considerate doesn't cost you anything. Having new people turned away by comments such as yours does not promote the good will of xda, and gives a sense that it is forbidden to ask any questions at all.
Simply stating an answer to the question with a sidenote that there is another place to ask such questions would be prefered.
And, It IS ambiguous as to whether or not it is possible to convert the system.
While there are numerous threads here talking about it and stating such, you would not want to simply download some rom based on the wishes of others to make it happen before it's time. For somebody new, the threads that have such discussion may very well look like they have it converted and ready to go, where others state the opposite.

Isn't this section called "q and a HELP and troubleshooting"? I am posting my legitimate question in the proper section because of how vague the other posts have been. Those who aren't willing to help, why post? Is it really ruining your day to glance over a question? Instead you waste your precious time trying to beat your chest on the internet. Thanks have been given to those who were helpful. I appreciate you clearing up the issue.

I have a LG V500 as well(coming from Nexus 10) and after looking at all(well most) of the threads, it is not clear which for me
means the answer is NO(or we would have had a definitive guide to do that ).
For now, I am looking for the most stable custom rom with least issues. CM or Mahdi atm
Mahdi works great and has a lot of options.
If you have AOSP you have CyanogenMod, CarbonROM, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, SlimROM.. all of which have every feature of AOSP + the same looks as AOSP + extras.
GPE is cool if you're not a rooting custom ROM kind of person in which case you should have just purchased a GPE G-Pad to have stock AOSP

It's not even worth it anymore, dude. Members of XDA have huge ego and pride issues and it doesn't seem like it's going away any time soon.
I agree, there is no reason for the hostility. Politely answer the question and let him/her know to search next time. One more thread asking the same question isn't going to break the internet but people don't understand that.. they'd rather be know-it-all assholes.
Honestly, you are better off getting v500 And installing custom kit Kat. This way you can switch back to lg if you prefer it.

Best advise, gives you more options. As it is the v500 gets more support. I wish the device was more popular but I'm still grateful for what we have.

We would recomend trying different ones and making a decision yourself. ONLY YOU can decide what the best ROM for YOUR use is. What's great for me may be awful for you.
"What's the best rom" threads are not permitted on XDA. Ever.

Do you mean with active download links in general? Or do you mean threads with active development; because that would be easy to find without a list... Android Development->any thread with activity in the last month... Galaxy S4 Unified builds->most all threads.
A one stop shop as it were to kinda help the new little flashers find what they want a little easier as longs as the devs don't mind us posting the dl links saves everyone time and would help promote the s4 roms alittle bit.... In my opinion

Dont post download links post thread links.
For a 2 reasons
One, people will take it as your work.
Two, youll have a q&a of multiple roms in one thread and will confuse the hell out of people.
Make a "directory" kernels, roms, recoveries, mods, themes, firmwares, etc etc with linksto threads. If you keep it up to date and maintained a mod will gladly sticky it at the top of the forum here in general. We use to have one. But hasnt been updated in probably a year

Three, most developers prefer that you don't link directly to downloads for tracking reasons. (And they REALLY don't like mirror hosting for the same reason)
If you do decide to go ahead and make this list, you might want to consider going to the I9505 International forums because a lot of those ROMs work on our M919 T-Mobile device. I'm currently running the International Phoenix ROM on my T-Mobile device and it runs perfectly.

All
90% of the i9505 Roms work on the galaxy S4 M919 phones...but in the end ya its kinda like u just gotta download and test them out. most people just go to the i9505 development page here on xda for the roms as the development seems more active on that forum thread. heres a link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop
