After flashing over 15 different Roms and finding a stable one, I have become slightly bored with this device. I'm on mdk, any suggestions of could mods, exposed modules, or other hacks that can respark some fun?

Flash ME7 and unlock the bootloader :fingers-crossed:
I know how you feel. I bought the s4 mainly for its features, screen size and battery life also thinking development would be insane coming from the somewhat abandoned htc rezound. Turns out that it's not much better. This bootloader is really keeping developers away

If your on mdk there's plenty of ROMs to flash,I came from a galaxy nexus, there's not as many as it had but I wouldn't expect there to be its not a nexus, but there's plenty of ROM to choose from and, also y should they be 100 ROMs to choose from that does the same thing 15, 20 ROMs is fine, you got cm, carbon aokp illusion slimbean and more, then you got your ge based, and your tw roms , what else could you want

Be happy with what you get the ROMs are compiled out of the devs free time and they don't owe you nothing, or start compiling your own ROM and use it...

Would anyone else love to see the 4.2.2 ROM ported from the Google Edition One to the DNA? I have been trying to get some sweet stock Android on my DNA for a long time and it doesn't appear there are any ROMs on here or anywhere else that would accomplish that. Is it possible?

Right, but isn't that still just a developmental progress? I would love CM as well but I don't think they have a stable release yet.
I really hope this phone opens up roms for our phone

CM vs. Stock Android = two completely different roms. I want to use the CM 10.1 roms, but they don't have working BT audio yet. Maybe this phone's rom will help them get it working? The GPE rom will get tweaked and modded by the htc one community and hopefully those will be easily ported to the dna. Sense is cool and all, but I would like to free up some space on my stupid 16gb of non-expandable storage more than anything. Heck it might even get better battery life without all that htc stuff running in the background? Keeping my fingers crossed. :good:
There are plenty of stock roms. Not necessarily pure aosp, but there's cm amongst many other roms. And they are all about 99% working.

[Q] What ROM do you guys use as your Daily Driver?
Give your reasons.
List length of time on current ROM.
Provide the hyperlink to the explanation/download page of the listed ROM.
As of 8/11/13:
This POLL is created from theidoctor's list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297370
It may not not include all options out there for our Verizon S4's but it should include the most used and most stable. If your ROM that you use as your Daily Driver isn't listed make a comment and explain why you use it.
This POLL is not to show "Best ROM" it is solely for the purpose of showing "Most Used". This helps show newbies what ROMs are popular and what they should start with. It says to newbies that this or that ROM has been "tried and true" by the masses and should hold up for my demands...
Please Vote and then add your Reply to the Thread also.
Just curious if there is already a poll and thread on this why make another one?

We were missing a couple choices that were obviously wanted and used by many. I couldn't add them to that list.
Also this list you can pick multiple ROMs... IF you actually use multiple ROMs on a Daily basis.

Thanks! Wasn't trying to be a smart a$$ was just curious what was different.
In that case I have tried many roms but only use Eclipse TW based as my daily driver. IMO it is extremely stable and looks great with the aosp mix. Also its the only TW based rom with the AOSP toggles. No other TW based rom has that. Nitro is a genious and works extermely hard to make us all happy. This is the only rom that makes me forget that it is TW based

XGokuSniperX's TurboFist 1.1 rom nightlies have been really stable for me. Pair that with the FeceTweaks and M0ng0l0id's B0n3rJamz Kernel and you're cooking with fire. All other Roms are inferior.

Bonestock has been amazing so far. Stock > ktoonsez kernel for me in terms of battery life. Only lacking an AOSP theme, but for a fairly new ROM, this is great, and the future is bright for the ROM, and Andy is great. ME7 gets rid of most of the bugs in MDK.

Beansie Boy is back in action with a new MDK SG4.
He put a new build out last night.
The ROM thread was last updated in October. I can't seem to find all the ROMs based on the lastest OTA update. I'm assuming there are a bunch of ROMs based on that. Is development dead for this phone or are they just on another site?

Nitro has a progress build for mj7 on his eclipse website. When it is ready he'll post it here. Sbreen94 is also working on a 4.3 build but it isn't up yet. That is all the action I'm aware of @ the moment.
I don't believe development is dead for this phone. Check the threads in Android and original development. Lots of choices.

Don't see why not if the rom supports multi carrier. I could be wrong though. Never really ventured out that far. If hyperdrive didn't exist I'd probably be desperate enough to start looking into that

Uh on, time for another multi-rom set up!
I'm sorry. It really ticks me off to see no "features" page here. On Nexus devices, all the ROMs look exactly the same save for a few heavily modded ones. I really need to know what differentiates one ROM from another. Later before, I did visit Evervolv website to see "features" but I see that a lot of ROM makers cleaned everything up and started quite a bit from scratch. SO if somebody could point me in the right direction, big thanks to you

I have been flashing a hell lot of roms and keeps coming back to Cataclysm. Rest all the features are same in almost every rom...This cata has an option of disabling power menu option while on secure lock. I wonder why no other Rom builder thinks of it as an essential feature for the security of phone. I know you can still get into Recovery with the combination of Power/Volume buttons but again it isnt letting them do it easily so disabling powermenu on secure lock is amazing feature which all of the new custom roms fail to have.
Hope you could integrate this request, rest the rom looks fine i am onto it now
Thanks again

Hi Guys
I used to have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 there are hundreds of ROM for that device or any Samsung devices. Now Im using this amazing device but there is no enough developer working on it. Why is that? There are only 2 ROMs I can see active doing updates all the time.
Yeh, but most of the ROMS are nearly identical. Here we have a some stock based and some CM/AOSP based but all are different.
It was the same with the S3, hundreds of ROMs but nearly all the same, only 1 or 2 were "proper" roms, developed and not "cooked"
There are at least 3 stock ROMS and at least 2 CM/AOSP roms here.
What exactly are you looking for?
