This is the latest firmware I coudl find on any site. It was Asian so I converted it to work with the P600UE (US Based P600's and other variants).
Features:
Made Compatible with US devices (may work on other regions).
Removed Knox and proloaded Kisok mode
Pre-rooted with SuperSU
Odex or De-odex'ed
Zip Aligned
Set Google as home page
Busybox
init.d Support
Removed Chinese Keyboard.
No other changes or modifications.
Once again, this is an untouched stock ROM other than what is listed. There are no tweaks or enhancements.
It took me 2 days to figure out how to get around the regional coding on the new Samsung devices so please hit Thanks if you download.

Well, I just want to make sure everything works. It was a big learning experieence about the regional coding files and the SEA policies which I finally figured out.
So if you can test apps in the play store, over all functionality type thing. Looking for things like "Not supported in your region" errors although I doubt it (USA Regions only, other regions I cannot support).
IM sure its good as I ran with it for two days and liked it.

Sadly that is a typical issue with play services.
They try to push that at the same time the push the apps and it can cause a mess.
Google needs to get it together... But then again, I dont think they made Android for the Crack Flashing crew.
When I was playing with this I think it felt a little smoother than the MK1 base.
Does anyone have any input on that?
And what do you think of the Autobrightness control?
Why did you convert a stock Asian rom to be compatible with US/EU version of P600?
Haven't they the same hardware or product code (SM-P600)?
I ask you this since I ordered a note 2014 from Singapore and I would flash an European stock rom with my country's csc.
Do you think it's not possible?

It seems there is a significant lag for the screen to turn on after the tablet was off for more than a few minutes.
Also tested the magnetic cover on both Poetic cases I own. The tablet display turns on and off when cover is opened and closed.

For whatever reasons Samsung seems to have locked them like they did with the phones and sims. I beleive, but cannot prove for fact, that they are using the same "technology" from the Note 3. You can read more about it here: Samsung’s Regional SIM-Lock: The Stupidest Thing Ever?
Now I dont know for fact, so take it with a grain of salt, but look at the first digit of the firmware and that is the region. Take look here on THIS PAGE for the region and the firmware versions. You will see a pattern.
It seems, Arabian devices all start with X, European based devices start with U, US based devices start with U as well. All Asian devices start with Z. But what throws me off is not all countries seem to be in the region you would expect. So I really am not sure. I just now that some people cant use my ROM very well and others can.
I know that i could not get the ZT base to work until I swapped out portions of the RAM disk and some really strange files in the /system partition which I beleive are tied to the ram disk files which then seem to tie to the region. THIS IS ALL SPECULATION on my behalf. I wont know unless I have a device from Asia to test or someone that knows more about Samsung product codes can elaborate.
Now, I cant honestly tell you that they wont be able to cross but I can tell you I had to tear out some files from the UE based ROM (United States) and replace those files in the ZT based ROM (Tiawan).
Like I said, take it with a grain of salt.
When you get your device send me a PM so I can have you look at things and quantify my thoughts. All my theory are based on my physical US Based Device and the troubles I had getting the Asian based ROM to flash.

Although I cannot read your hand writing I did seem like a positive tone? lol
The lag on wake is by design. I know, strange... But thats how any Exnyos process based device is.
Refernce any article in this quick Google Search and you will see it covers almost every Exnyos device Samsung makes. Not just the Note 10.1.
We will need to enlist a real good kernel developer to remove that lag. You can read more about it in my CleanROM thread as we were just discussing it there...
But in a nut shell, the tablet goes into deep sleep and it has to be woken up. This is done to conserve battery.
I also tested the wake lag against stock MK1 base and its actually improved. At least form my testing anyways. Take it with a grain of salt as I am an old man and cant count very well
Hey this is exactly what i was looking for.
My brother and I bought our dad this tablet from the US and the first thing I did was root it as usual with all the other android devices in our house haha.. but as usual after rooting and installing a custom recovery you cannot do OTA's.
I would like to know will you be keeping this stock and maintaining this as samsung pushes updates. the first thing my dad did, was check if he could do auto updates and it said no tablet is modified. So I told him I would have to do it manually.
Many thanks in advance.
Also is this ML1 the latest release by Samsung?

The feedback of your ML1 stock ROM was positive. All apps I used simply worked. There was nothing unusual about any of the apps, including no force closes.
Touchwiz launcher also seemed quicker when scrolling through the home pages and application pages. I plan to do a Titanium backup and make this my daily ROM for a few days (or longer).
As for the lag when turning on the screen, I was only making an observation. It was neither a positive or negative comment about the ROM. I prefer the tablet to go into deep sleep mode as fast as possible to conserve battery life. So an extra half second or so for the display screen to turn on is an easy tradeoff.

I will more than likely be doing stock roots for any update I can for the duration of tablet owner ship.
As the very first line of the opening post stated; this is the latest build I can find anywhere on the internet.
If anyone ever finds anything newer than what I have they normally will post in one of my threads or will send me a PM. Plus I scour certain firmware sites daily.

Nah, I see some changes in the system dealing specificallyh with WiFi and Bluetooth but I have not had an issue with WiFi (nor do I 100% understand teh changes between MK1 and ML1).
However, the bootlaoder may have also attributed to this. I made this rom so it would run with the MK1 US Bootloader.
I would Odin MK1 then you should be able to flash this. But as far as WiFi drops for me personally, nah. Seems good.
Anyone else see any WiFi issues?

Well half these firmwares could be deleted here and nobody would notice. There is some kind of trend to spit out firmwares, confuse people calling them ROM's and act like it's in the name of progress?
Where I sit, all this cloning is not flattering, it's more akin to theft and I'm sick of seeing all these useless crap ware - camera doesn't work - because you copied J? Z? - Oh where did you get that Cyanogen Mod from.. etc.. ha
Took a bit from here and bit from there... rebadged, rebranded, lifted, ripped - whatever.. it's funny for 5 minutes but it's just happening more and more and becoming - BORING!

...or not...
he`s half right about what he wrote.
obviously the ones and only that made a "almost fully" rom for ours x10, was/is Z, J and T.
but one interesting thing is. a few months ago, when i see this so called 2.1 roms never read anything about it. and they were called "rom".
i give that opinion on those times...nobody give a **** about that...
but if we go further, they don`t do any roms aswell. they pick some here, some there, mix all together and...hey, it worked...great.
the ONLY way we can have a TRUE custom rom is when we crack the f..k`in BL, untill now...
my understanding is:
this so called roms are...mod roms.
but thats just me
I think the Z J and trip are really developer.THX them

Well I can understand your point of view, even if I don't share it. Giving the people possibilities to choose from isn't the worst thing. And by modding one "ROM" in many ways, a lot of heads think about solutions for bugs and problems. In that way it actually is in the name of progress
Regarding the word ROM: I think most xda users are used to have ROMs for their phones and since the different firmwares we have for the X10 behave like a ROM in most aspects, it would be more confusing to call them firmwares, even if it is more correct...
Too funny
Honestly, I really kicked a hornets nest here - haha - Wow!
It's not really about names, firmwares and roms, apples and oranges etc.. I'm just really perplexed by the sheer volume of unfinished projects some blatantly ripped without any credit to the authors and more than anything, the sheer uselessness of the majority.
It's great that people want to contribute something, so how about downloading the favorable 'rom' (if it makes you feel cool.. or whatever) and make your contribution and then ONE BETTER, instead of uploading the whole schamozzle of mish mash..
Just the mods' that matter? I.E; Changed the Framework-Res.apk and a few apps, then do what Sempeternal does and release an update.zip! - Include screen shots.. but the whole firmware for a theme.. seem's overkill..
Put this in context, not naming names here but I downloaded a GingerBread a while back and it had one single app.. aside from that it was a virgin clone of another guy's rom - with no credit or even value... and it's nearly every day I'm seeing someone pop up with another CM or something and it's actually.. distracting.
Personally I'm 150% behind the work of Z, J and Sempiternal (my favorite theme is the new HC) which looks awesome on any GB modified firmware, even on Eclair and Froyo.
That is what I'm talking about! - Semp really knows what time it is and releases amazing work, free of charge. Best of all across any flavour, without any nonsense! All killer - no filler
Ginger!
i would say gingerbread and a cyanogen brew (which J would start to cook up soon^^)
i mean, who doesn't want the latest version of the most powerful android rom?
Since this is a thread opened for discussion, allow me to do exactly that. The below is strictly my own opinion and not a rant and/or an attack aimed at anyone.
I'm extremely disappointed at the way things are moving in the X10 Dev section. There are dozens of unnecessary half cooked 'ROMs' that're of no practical use. The blind self-righteous and immature dev worshipping present in the thread is shockingly mind numbing. Ask questions, even valid ones, and you're swarmed by these retarded sheep who respond back with insults and personal digs. One user even told me to go buy another X10 when I supported another user who posted a question for the Dev. about the the newer basebands, especially since the Dev himself mentioned that the newer baseband support may [or may not] come. Regardless, the question was for the Dev. and not the sheep.
Just when I feel consoled read something that hints at *some* progress being made with the current firmware, I find myself reading another post, after a while, which takes on a completely different direction. The firmware suddenly gets dropped in favor of a newer/<some popular ROM> which, then, necessitates the Dev. to re-engage himself with the long list of functions and features that aren't working. In essence it means, we're back to ground zero. Why is that necessary? It's a fact that we aren't going to see a 100% functional port because of the locked bootloader - so wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate on just 1 firmware and make it as perfect as possible, with the omission of things that wouldn't be working due to the locked down bootloader?
I sincerely think we need just *2* FIRMWARE threads in the Dev. area - one for 2.3.x and one for 2.2.x. The CM additions can be easily had by installing the CM Settings app, the themes etc. on top of whichever edition one chooses. There's no need to have a complete 'ROM' uploaded with the same critical and few non critical issues.
I should reiterate, the above is simply my own opinion and is in no way a rant or an attack on anyone.
Yes too many rom. Devs should work together to make a perfect room than every dev make their own rom better.
There are developers... and chefs... devs develop the software. Cooks or chefs take ingredients or parts of software and mix or cook them. If you have been a long member of xda you would know that this has always been how it is for EVERY phone that is on this site... but more so this thread propably should be moved to a different section.

It's never wrong to share. If you don't like it, just don't download. It's that simple.
And from what I see, credits are given where it's due. Many don't even ask for donation. And they don't pretend to be a dev like J, Z & T.
Yes these are mods & tweaks. But some really did a nice job - like wolfbreak's rom - it's fast and stable with a great look.
It's always good to have choices. IMO their threads are much more useful than this thread which contributes nothing.
Of course you don't have to agree with me and I don't have to agree with you
People on here seem to have the mistaken impression that if devs came together we would have a perfect rom instead of several roms that have bugs... That is not the case. We would just have less choice, the bugs would still remain, things like the camcorder and camera issues don't just get fixed overnight. It's nice to see peoples own twist on things, sad to see some people don't appreciate this..

Agreed with u...
+1
I personally would like the developers and the site to do the following.
1. Sticky the First Rom post from each guy, and only allow him to update it and a second post.
2. All comments, questions regarding it should be in a separate thread of the same title appended with [Discussion], which should be culled (or have a strike through put the heading) from the system the moment the dev releases a new version.
I for one, can not go through hundreds or thousands of posts most of which are not relevant any longer to the current version of the firmware/baseband whatever update. IT's very intimidating, and onerous on the reader- even professional IT people. I can't imagine what someone from a non-technical bent sent here by someone - "Hey you can get an update for that at XDA!" thinks when they encounter some of these 2,000+ plus postings.
The developers should take a bit of responsibility and update the first or second posts with any new issues that crop up from the discussions. You should not have to read 50 posts in to a thread to find out that there is a step missing in the install or a new bug has been confirmed. I've burned two X10's myself due to bugs and unclear instructions that were later corrected.
Meanwhile, I'm happy to support with money these guys, even though I have not actually put a 'custom' firmware onto any of my phones. I have put/used the tools that have been provided to do other things like JIT and rooting/updating SE firmware. I am looking forward to seeing a fully functional update to give me some of the things that are not available in 2.1 so I can get better applications. I think that not having some items like Hotspot, Tether and even 16m color on the display which require kernel updates are not that important since tether/hotspot can be added via applications in the market.
I don't think there can be a better example of why we don't need random people come up with ROMs [they're firmwares, NOT ROMs]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11669817&postcount=97
In that thread, the main issue is not about giving or not giving credits, it's about calling oneself a 'Chef' and delivering half baked results which ultimately causes grief when users don't receive solutions to their legitimate queries/firmware related problems.

Looking good
I'm very pleased to see it up and running. Good Work bill.
Btw, what gapps do we flash?
I did the one from goo.im for cm10.1 and voice search wont work
For those curious, here is my basic overview thus far;
I've been running it for just over an hour roughly and its fairly bug free (minus the wifi and bt)
Camera works great, minus the preview, which i still never figured out why it wouldn't work, you will just see a white screen, guesstimate where you are pointing. =P
Minor transition stutters, nothing major, just slightly more noticeable then on the 4.1.2 rom (give it time im sure it will improve)
I love the 4.2 feel, and all of the 4.2 features are working smoothly.
Overall, this a damn good place to start, You can tell when you flash this rom, bill put a lot of time and work into this, considering this is the first release, and it is so bug free.
Personally, i will be returning to PAC, as it is my daily driver, but im looking forward to what cm10.1 is bound to bring to our phone.
Thanks again Bill

Voice Search is a bug I still need to work on. I was really working hard on the storage issue...in the end, it was an edit that came from the Capitivate Glide that fixed it...LOL
Of course, either by some edit that CM added in or one of my edits, I broke wifi (it was working in earlier builds. I'm trying to revert some of the edits to try to get it working again).
This is probably the 100th build of CM10.1 that I have done, so yes, there has been a LOT of time put into it. BT will be a bit of a pest to fix, but I am sure I can get it done. I already know the edit for the Camera preview, but I can't get it to build when I institute the edit...which is really odd. I'm still working on it.

Alright, yeah, i wasn't sure if it was just the gapps, or if it was a problem you knew about. Im glad you got the storage thing worked out, haha, i was getting desperate, found that rom i linked to (cm10 thread) that used 4.1.2 partitioning for 4.2
See, thats a problem i have when i was trying to work on the apks for the rom i put on hold. Its working just fine in the first one, but when i fix another part thats completely unrelated, it breaks the first. LOL. I feel like Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the roadrunner at times.
Holy Mother of ****. lmfao. In bow before you and your dedication. I feel if i was in your shoes i probably would have thrown my machine out of frustration.
As far as the camera preview goes, are you just recompiling the app with the edit, or are you building it from source and then adding the edit every time?

The partition scheme is actually a step back to the old /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard from ICS days . I found that it worked well on a few devices, but was having issues with emmc not showing up, as improper permissions were being indicated. I finally searched EVERY Tegra 2 device that had a 4.2 build to see what I could get working. The Captivate Glide had one that I hadn't tried, so what the hell, I figured. When it booted and I saw everything working, I almost cried
Yeah...I know what you mean about the fix one break another. Only issue is that since I was only checking storage, I don't know which edit broke wifi...lol. Could even be something that CM added in when they initiated wifi tether support...lol
Believe me...there were times when I looked at the Photon and considered it's aerodynamic properties and whether it could fly and how far...lol
I've tried both. Each way, I get the strange lot of errors...lol
Is wifi supposed to be working? I'm can turn it on and off but it never finds any networks nearby.

I forgot to put that wasn't fully working in the OP.
I'm gonna guess and say any issue with 4.2 gapps is due to this (via RootzWiki):
Does not include non-NEON libraries, as there have not been any non-NEON devices (Tegra and Tegra 2 devices such as the Motorola XOOM) which have received 4.2, and the 4.1 libraries are not compatible with 4.2.

I wish I could hack the webcams of all the folks who said we don't have competent developers for the E970 when they figure out what ignorant f*cknuggets they are. Like my nerdy ass is going to buy a phone that isn't going to get ridiculously awesome AOSP within a reasonable amount of time, ha ha ha ha!
Man, I wonder how all those dudes who ditched their OGs feel. BTW this runs GREAT. The screens in OP are mine.
Much thanks to all of the developers of the E970 for sharing their talent and work! I try not to post much - still a noob with nothing to add toward development so don't want to take up space - but with all of the recent work added, simply wanted to say thank you.
I still have never flashed a ROM (ever); it's not that the ICS development was not interesting, I simply wanted to spend additional time educating myself first. With AOSP, AOKP, and now CM, time for me to step-up my reading!! I'm rooted, unlocked, have my nandroid, and almost ready to go - though do need the GPS working as I can't live without it.
BTW, great, in-context use of the word f*cknuggets, Deathmonkey!

The best way to educate yourself about these things is to flash and play with them. Seriously, make sure you have a good backup, and then flash to your heart's content. Flashing a ROM and then flashing back to your good recovery each take a few minutes a piece. It's easy.
Sweetttt!! :victory: , will themes from playstore work with this rom?
Downloading now and excited to flash. Had problems with Codefire SR15, the power button caused a system crash. Hopefully that won't happen on this!

Thanks, Digil! Though I have not done it, I agree nonetheless. I knew I'd want to take advantage of all this phone (and developers) have to offer, so rooted and unlocked when I got it in December (thanks to Carret's instructions!) without issue. I have TWRP installed and did my first nandroid (though will do another to make sure I did it right, as mine was a bit large @ 3GB). Confident I can flash a rom, though not certain I did the nandroid right and want to make sure. I'm in sales and travel out of town quite a bit, so really need GPS working, so have simply been enjoying seeing the work, reading the comments, and trying to get better versed (after the wife and kids go to bed). Unlike many, I still do 1000-1500 minutes of calls a month, so needed to see the volume working as well.
I seem to be a pretty old fart by xda standards - 44, though still a heavy metal punk at heart (hair metal guitarist and singer back in the 80's). Though I love technology, I'm not as up to speed as most on these forums, so am taking it slower than I probably need.
yes finally we can get some good cm action going

lennyquai, I definitely feel you about wanting to take it slow, and do your research first. In fact, I think XDA (and hell, probably the world in general) would be much better off if everyone took that approach. We seem to have some awesome devs here, so I know when you eventually do decide to start flashing some ROMs you won't be disappointed. Good luck! See you around.
Btw, thanks to Shelnutt for putting this up, and all your work. Can't wait to try it out after work tonight!

I got you by almost decade... But the kids in here are pretty tolerant of old farts.
I'll caution you that once you start flashing roms you'll get addicted and flash everything that comes out. Titanium Back Up Pro is more than worth the cost. You can not only back up then restore apps (incl data), but once your downloaded apps are restored, you can restore the data for the launcher, which automatically setups up your home screens (be sure to do a full back up of apps, before you start flashing).

Starting with 4.1 I believe, Google made it so you have to go to "About Device" under settings, then tap the "Build number" location seven times. A toast notification will show up when you start tapping telling you how many more taps you have to go. Developer settings will then show up in the "Settings" menu. Why they hid it like an easter egg is beyond me.

I'm sure users here would be glad to help you if they knew what you're talking about, I.e. the notification drop down? Phone settings? how did you install it, etc. You should probably post your question in the Rom thread...
Edit: others reported settings issues, the Rom has been pulled for now.
That's because those Settings were originally modified to work on UnSenseROM and need to be modified to work by default on any other roms made from the new base.
I know Jester added a couple things, but that alone won't make them compatible on first flash of the rom.
I have been in the process of reworking them for my update to UnSense and am just about complete with that.
If he does not get them working before then, due to using my old settings, you may be able to first install the rom with Sense settings.
Then reboot once, then return to recovery and then flash his separate zip for the aosp settings and SystemUI and then clear cache and dalvik and reboot.
But those things need to be modified to work on first boot if they are gonna be cooked into his rom.
I have already reworked SystemUI for my desensed roms and as I said am almost done with Settings, so they will work upon initial rom flash.

I don't want anything for it--would be ecstatic to be able to help you out in any way. And Santod/Jester: Love your debloated/ICE ICE BABY ROMs, respectively!

Without starting a new thread, I am having major issues with this rom, I keep getting random reboots right after installing.
I checked the MD5 sum and it was correct, I used the 4EXT recovery, I formatted eery partition except SD card, and wiped data+ dalvik, and formatted cache nothing fixes it.
I get blue vertical lines on the reboot and the phone either reboots, or the screen goes black and the "house, menu, back and magnifying glass" stay lit up
any help?

You know what, let me tell you a few things, maybe you will listen.
I happen to be a human just like everyone else that visits these public forums.
I am a single parent of a couple children and work very hard for everything that comes to me.
I did not and do not have to share anything I spend my few spare minutes doing with anyone.
When the ICS OTA came out, the only active developers for the Thunderbolt, were Twisted and myself.
I made sure that the very next day after the OTA was available to anyone unrooted via VZW, that I had not only one version of the stock rom rooted and ready for download in it's entirety, but 4 versions to pick from, of yes, a clean stock rom.
What you would get from Verizon, but rooted and ready for consumption.
I stayed up that entire night getting all that together and ready for every Thunderbolt user, everywhere.
I didn't have to, I wanted to and did and gladly shared it with everyone.
I also have made many and publicly posted and shared 5 custom roms, 4 of which are directly based off the stable OTA.
Is it fair that other devs should not have to do the same work to make their roms? Maybe, maybe not.
That's not the issue either. To me in this small world, we have a few things left to call our very own.
One being self respect and if I allow someone to continue using my hard work, meanwhile talking down about me, I should not sit on my hands and ignore it.
I actually tried that and I saw it continue regardless.
The fact that my base was being used wasn't good enough for some, they also wanted to use mods that I had spent other numerous hours working on that I did not have to or did I have to share in my own roms at all.
But since I had publicly shared them in my roms, somehow that should entitle anyone to use them in their own?
(Advanced Power Menu Mod)Hounded for over and over as an example. That only includes my entire framework
Because I was not willing to have them duplicate my own public roms, they lashed out at me.
They publicly talked about me in ways I did not like or care for and was not ok with the way they carried on about it, as if I owed them more.
I was doing nothing and still am doing nothing to anyone and just want to be left out of those types of "projects" completely.
That is all, is that wrong of me?
Should I have never posted the 9 roms I have posted?
I'm so sorry I shared anything then.......
Move on, let them do the same if they are so capable, that's great! :good:
But leave me be and out of it.
I have nothing to do with anyone else making or not making a rom.
A dev can make a base and a rom anytime they want.
If you hadn't noticed, we have few left if any.
Let the devs decide if they want to make roms.
If they want to, they will.
Crying about it doesn't make me want to do more and likely doesn't make any others want to do more.
It was crying that got us all here.
So please refrain from including me in any further posts of yours unless you are sending me a PM. Thanks!
As far as only having a 5 post account and "not contributing when you can", I believe you.
^ word. I can respect that.

Well i do respect you santod.. And i never begged for any mod. The Restart menu is based on android.policy.jar and stuff anyways theres tutorials but nothing for sense 3.6... I never asked for an entire menu or any other mod of sort, even said maybe a tutorial of how you did it for the bolt and you take the credit for that. That's all i have ever asked you about anyways... Don't know what anyone else has asked you.. But as i told everyone before i only did mine that way because well, please excuse me while i pull a base off a phone that has no screen...

I recently got my hands on a VZW S4. From preliminary research, it looked like I would have no problem unlocking my bootloader and installing Cyanogenmod. However, now that I've looked around a bit more, I see the unlock method was for Android 4.2.2 and is no longer applicable. I also saw that custom ROMs are available to flash, but that they're all based on TouchWiz. I read this is because custom kernels cannot be flashed, but then I saw the thread on custom kernel modules.
It's all pretty confusing to me. I have the VZW Note 4 as my main phone, and have been keeping up with roots and bootloader unlocks (I have CM13 on there and I love it), but flashing with that seems pretty simple and straightforward to do compared to this S4 stuff.
I tried to do my research, but I'm still not sure what the answer is. Can I flash CM13 to this, or do I need to stick to TW? If I can't get it, are there any 6.0.1-based TW ROMs for the S4, or is that also not possible?
Are people even still working on the S4 (maybe to find a bootloader unlock for the 5.0.1 firmware)?
Don't do it
If your device is already on OF1 then you cannot flash anything with a non-stock kernel. That means CM. Only devices with MDK bootloader have that luxury. TO double check boot into recovery with vol up + home + power, release for just a moment when you see first splash screen then hold until it finishes. You will see your bootloader listed at the top. Anything other than MDK and you are out of luck.
Always research the lock status of the bootloader of any device you are interested in otherwise no CM for you.

Thanks to everyone for replying and OP too. This is what throws me off:
the link you posted says if your bootloader is locked forget everything.....but then further down the page it says if you have SuperSU & Busybox there are options like installing Albe95 and Stang5Litre.
I always put it out of my head and every couple of weeks i start feeling determined to get a straight answer and then give up etc etc

Ahh. It is good that you are cautious. I did not state forget everything. Just custom recovery, marshmallow, and CM.
It is an assumption, that I made as well, that once rooted the sky is the limit. Unfortunately for us that is not the truth. Another lesson in "don't believe everything on the Internet".
Due to some outstanding work by the developers that are in our situation, there are options. If you have the chops and are confident in your Odin skills, we can get you on any of the ROMs listed. Always follow the OF1 instructions. Let me know if you need help. BTW, I'm not responsible.... standard disclaimer....blah, blah, blah!

Yeah, it's OF1. Disappointing Verizon won't let me get this phone working.

We did . My sister has a basic phone and we're thinking of moving to T-Mobile (save ~$3000 over two yrs). Since the basic phone obviously can't transfer, she'll need to move to a smartphone. The S4 is an old phone I wanted to get working, since new phones are expensive.
Do your research

This is why we are telling you "research". You have to acquire a lot of data and sort it out. As I hinted earlier, you MAY be able to use some ROMs if they use the stock kernel. Those two use stock kernels so they may work. If you don't know what a kernel is then you have some pre-research to do. Then you need to figure out how to get root on your kernel. OF1 requires you to use Odin to flash an OC1 kernel before you can use KingRoot after which you have to use Super Sume to replace KingRoot with SuperSu because Flashfire won't work with KingRoot. I had the additional joy of having to figure out how to use VirtualBox to set up a Win7 virtual machine on my MacBook Pro to use Odin as the JOdin version just didn't work. Had enough yet? If the work involved is starting to pile up then decide what you want to do about it, how badly do you want a custom ROM on your SCH-I545 OF1 device?
For me, a very unfortunate series of events (from a lack of sufficient research) led me to the OF1 bootloader and now I am mostly screwed. I cannot get stang flashed correctly, all it does is reset everything to stock. I am beyond tired of messing with it so I am resigning to just having root until I buy another non-bootlocked phone. HTC M9, Moto X Style, LG G3 for AT&T/Cricket or T-Mobile/MetroPCS are good examples. I highly suggest you search through CM's list of supported devices as a pretty sure thing.
CM Device List Selector
Remember to check for nightlies as several devices only show nightly CM13. And then research even that to see if the nightly is stable enough to use as daily driver. I even found a snapshot version to have a few bugs once so nothing is guaranteed. It can be a perilous journey so decide if it is worth it to you but a little research goes a long way.

T-Mobile has almost caught up. They've seriously expanded.
Consider Cricket or MetroPCS
Cricket is AT&T (I believe best overall coverage but will vary locally) and MetroPCS is T-Mobile. It is true T-Mobile agressively expanded in 2015 on LTE band 12 and is a real contender now depending on where you are. I recently got in on a group plan at Cricket and I pay $24/mo for 2.5GB which is plenty for me. That is less than half of what I was paying month to month at VZW and 1/4 of what I was paying VZW before my contract was up. MetroPCS has a really good 2 line x 3GB deal a couple months ago for $60 so shop around.
HTC M9's can be found on amazon new for as low as $300 if you watch it but that's a bit above my budget at the moment, LG G3's can be had new for low $200's (I didn't like the call quality or this is what I would have right now but was so easy to root and CM) and brand new custom order Moto X Pure (Moto X Style is EMEA version, different LTE bands) right now with 32GB for $350 and is the best deal going if you can deal with a 5.7" screen. I can't hack the 5.7" screen so I have to pass on that.
Me, I'm saving my Cricket savings to put toward something next year, I am eyeing the HTC 10 (when it is not $700) or maybe the Galaxy S7 G930F (International edition - again once it is sub $500) depending on what XDA devs can do with it (forget US version they will all be locked up tight). Study up on LTE bands.
http://www.gsmarena.com/
LTE frequency band allocation and descriptions
And choose wisely. Generally AT&T uses LTE bands 2,4,5,17,29,30 with emphasis on 17. 29 and 30 are supplemental and may or may not be in your area and is impossible to find out. T-Mobile uses 2,4,12 with emphasis on 12. VZW uses 4,13 with emphasis on 13. Sprint is hopeless don't even consider it. LTE 4 is almost everywhere and is the only band you cannot live without.
The SCH-I545 only shares LTE band 4 with AT&T and T-Mobile network but AT&T is generally good enough and their 3G (HSPA+) network is the best which is almost as good as VZW LTE which was never very impressive where I am. For me I actually am getting a little bit of speed increase with Cricket in my daily routes.
Ok, that's all I have time for hope this helps. Put in the time and your education will be with you always and will serve you well.

Thank you @Zacharee1 for the post. This is not a reply, just a simple rant.
It's good to vent a little. When I first came to XDA looking for help with my VZW S4 I got little to none. In fact there was an overall petulant and fractious feeling. Over time I realized why. Everybody took some bumps and bruises. We came in with high hopes, only to have them shattered. Through trial and error, and a few frantic nights ( "Odinned" back to stock 17 times), I have learned a lot. The attitude of "if you don't know what a blah, blah is then don't mess with it" is fallacious as most people have the ability to learn. Patience is the issue. If an individual does not have the patience to sit and read, sometimes all night, that is when they get in trouble.
I feel that the VZW S4 forum is breeding ground for savvy and informed user's who will take what they've learned and transition to their next device confidently. I know I did.

I'll just leave my S4 to die in peace and try to find that damn LG G2. It's quite literally vanished.
