I suggest flashing Hyperdrive ROM and following steps accordingly. This has been my savior everytime I try a new ROM. The developer is amazing. Check it out

All the roms are fast. Everyone should just try each one out and decide which they like the most.

Even stock is fast. I always turn off animations under dev options to give it more "snap". Stock or custom rom.

I'm on stock ME7 with force gpu rendering enabled and this is easily the fastest stock experience I've ever had. Only thing that's been faster was AOSP on my GS3/N2. I definitely can't complain.

Rocking Hyperdrive myself, Touch Wiz is the smoothest I have experienced.
I'm on bone stock me7 nothing changed. Faster then custom mdk ROMs I ran. I gave up. Updated to me7. IDC I have a nexus 7 for my crack flash toy. This is just my phone.

Oyeah if you are on HD, install the Death Star theme.. so good
Most of the TW ROMs run pretty well, including stock. However, they all run like junk compared to aosp.

Run Dubbsys Google edition rom stock.
It has Google wallet, ir blaster works. Just a smooth Google experience we all wanted.
It also has the tw camera working, but still not fully operational, which is fine.

I look forward to custom ROM's once we get an unlocked Bootloader again :crying:
This phone is just plain fast. Unless you messed something up during a flash or installed an app thats causing a problem than I don't see a reason why it would be slow at all.

I'm running hyperdrive release 7. 8 is out now but haven't bothered to flash it yet. Really liking 7. I normally don't flash ever release. I skip a few here and there. I wait for a bunch of changes to be made before updating.

Agreed. AOSP is a thing of the past. Time to grow and let go. TW is an amazing thing and I would really like more development from it. Hyperdrive is one of the best TW roms you can get for your S4 right now in my honest opinion. It is very solid and SBreen94 is an amazing developer. Always there for us fellow flashers.

Except when it comes to getting a fully functional camera experience
Well once carriers stop rom updates and tw development slows down, all that comes into effect is aosp since it's constantly being updated; that's in another year from now though.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4
I have a really hard time staying on an AOSP ROM at the moment...they all seem to have bugs and force closes...cm 10.2 is working pretty well for me right now and the new focus camera is pretty good...also Bluetooth problems as well...still a great rom though...TW is hard to beat though with everything functioning and working perfectly

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I am running an ATT ROM, Novella Beta from Alliance ROM. I have had no issues with it whatsoever. It is a an awesome ROM. I was running Jelly Thunder Blackout before that. Both of these work with Scott's patch. I tried Jelly Bomb for Sprint. I got it to boot just couldnt get to in encrypt. Best advice if you are going to flash anything is to make sure you always do a Nandroid back up.

Didn't do novella since Dope tried that one. Now running T mobile. Myrom- revolution. So far everything working. The cool thing about it is it comes as two rom downloads. One the rom and one for amorastyle add on. Tried the add on, on jedi and they worked on that one. Just make sure you Don't install modem

Center clock is my favorite .. yea it's nothing amazing but aleast everything isn't cramped up in the corner
it's not a rom but I can't live without the perseus kernel screen modifications.
rom wise I think I would have a hard time getting by with out cleanrom ace. I like to swap between T-mobile and Verizon sim cards. sometimes a put it on a few other networks. ACE helps with that a lot.

I'm guessing the screen sharpness and color modifications.
I personally can't stand and a ROM that looks unfinished. For some reason I like my ROMs to look professional its kind of hard to explain but yea.

I heard miracast works in touchwiz after 4.3. but i can only partially get it to work on hyperdrive rls12. i get "conected", but my dongle just gets stuck on the conecting screen until both devices give up and the connection drops. any help would be apreciated.

Did it work while you were stock? If so, and Miracast is that important, then you might have to stay stock. If it didn't work while on stock, maybe you should contact Samsung.

I agree...did it work ok in stock configuration? As with any customization, absolutely no guarantee any feature will work 100%...thats is the way it is once you leave stock

I think that should be your first step with troubleshooting your problem. If it runs on stock then you know the problem is specific to Hyperdrive.
It seems like it's not a popular feature on these boards so it looks like you might have to figure this out on your own.
Are you positive it's a feature on the S4 or was it just something you "heard"?

Yeah no point in jumping the gun, although I'm starting to jump on this ART bandwagon, 4.4 AOSP is noticeably faster with it enabled.

Yea Art runs great as long as you don't use xposed or any other custom apps. That's the only thing that keeps me from sticking with it. Although Liquid is building a lot of the things I used xposed for right into their rom.

Yea beanstalk is a really awesome ROM. Definitely my second favorite after liquid now. Both are stable as hell.. And actually I just switched over to ART for good , the latest liquid added a couple more things that I really don't need xposed anymore.
If you need to flash something ...try liquid.

So i followed Surges method, which worked perfectly btw, but i cannot stand stock samsung. Are there any roms that people are flashing after doing this upgrade that work well with SS? i have read through a lot of the Echoe thread hoping that one would work, but there seems to be a ton of confusion as to whether it works and how to get it to work... Can someone shed some light on the situation?
Gonna take some time for safestrap compatible 4.4 ROMs to become available. One reason why im not rushing to nc5

With out MDK boot loader, you won't see AOSP, or a true AOSP ROM running on your phone until kecex has been achieved. Enjoy limited TW
