Latest android is 5.1.1 on this phone (not stock). I recommend omni 5.1.1 for a beginner for stability
Last official ROM is based on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. There will be no more official updates (the phone is 4 years old... I hope you bought it for cheap).
The good news is that, despite being old, stock ROM works good, so in most cases there is no need to flash a custom ROM.
If you want to try a newer custom ROM, AFAIK latest one is Lysergic Acid's CyanogenMod 12.1 .
Don't expect it to be as stable as stock ROM, though.

I bought it for 50 €. What about Speed and Overclocking on Custom ROM? Is it faster than Stock ROM for Gaming and Performance? 4.1.2 works perfect without problems.

Then you struck a bargain. :good:
I never tried overclocking and I just started trying custom ROM myself, so I can't help you.
The only thing I can say is that CyanogenMod 12.1 by Lysergic Acid is slightly faster than last official ROM, but it is not as stable.

If you want overclocking, you need to install a custom kernel like dorimanx kernel (up to kitkat) or gustavo (up to lollipop). If you need speed, lollipop isn't for you (still unpolished and unstable). Kitkat is currently the best option for speed, stability and compatibility. As for a good combo for rom and kernel, have a look at my sig

Just latest build of slim(Saber)kat
I think that this i91000 is a good machine... it has a lot of customs roms... kernels.... this phone.... remember me to my old motorola defy plus... an other phone whit a lot of custom roms.... I am very happy whit this terminal....may be not a grand phone whit a big hard... but it has a world of oportunities selcting roms.
Sorry for my bad english.
By the way.... based in a stock rom.. you have Neatrom.... 4.1.2 or based on stock rom has low Consumption and work more light.... then 4.4.4 kitkat y better but spend more battery (no much... you would test it)... for me... the best performance and smothly are the roms based on 4.1.2. but.... but.... but... every phone is a different world.

i have a rooted device currently i am running android revolution hd on 4.3 . i kno there is no official kitkat for s4 but can anyone link me a stable custom rom running 4.4 with no bugs.
every custom rom has bugs at the moment, camera, bluetooth, video, etc. , you should try omnirom, archidroid, or cm11 for yourself and see what bugs collection bothers you the less
btw, reading the comment, the latest Archidroid seems promising ...

After trying number of Roms, I am sticking to SlimRom. Its clean, fast, reliable and stable.
Back to n00t + SuperSU // if you like touchwiz
SlimKat 8.20 (weekly) // if you like pure android experience -- aka aosp

Hey Guys,
I'm just wondering what's the fastest and most battery-friendly ROM out there?
Is is lollipop (the newest so I guess it should be the most optimized)
one of the first roms (less hardware requirements)
or a totally different rom?

I think Lollipop run smooth and battery friendly because using ART. CM 12 is my answer combined with boeffla kernel for more performance and battery life
Greetings guys,
Can anyone recommend me a good and stable ROM without bugs for Samsung galaxy s3 . I had previously Cyanogenmod but the camera bug was really annoying.
Thank you.
CM11 M12 snapshot is most stable and bug free I know of. Maybe you should also try old UGNA5 stock rom. It's quite good but only 4.3. In other hand camera works flawlessly in this edition.

If you want Sammy stock I recommend QS stock 4.4.2 or Neat Rom stock 4.3.
But, if you want aosp lollipop, I recommend Euphoria. I try this for a week, it run more stable than CM 12.1. I just seen messaging app fc only. Solution is 3rd party sms app likes Textra, etc
These have balance of Performance, Rock stable and Battery friendly.
If you are looking for stock sammy then I'll suggest you Back to Noot 4.4.4 pure stock Rom by Arter97. Its ported from Samsung S3 LTE version since that version had 4.4.4 released by Samsung. With boeffla kernel V7.6
I am using this Rom for 3 or 4 months now since first day it was released. Rock solid and no artificial stuff just pure stock Rom.
Boeffla kernel 7.6 was released some two or three days back. So i can't say about it yet. But 7.5 version of the kernel was pretty solid.
And if you are looking for something stock in android 4.4.2 then I'll suggest QS Rom with latest boeffla kernel 6.xx. its ported from Samsung Note 2 and is a pretty good work. Stable and trouble free. I moved from this Rom to Back to Noot 4.4.4 as ofcourse it has more latest android.

Does the camera work also in CM11 M12 snapshot?
depends on what you for looking for in a rom
The issue of roms is like fleets of vehicles. They both gas and they cause accidents.. For me I would opt for a well known Rom like touch wiz based for stability purposes and cynogen based for fancy and style. Going on a Rom that is new is both fun and classic but using well researched roms is peaceful.. you would never got the n00t way since I had the latest version 9 unable to pic signal and crashed imei.. efs. ... I suggest hypermax for speedy phone ..... roms are like cars.... you always admire what u don't have. Do more practicals to discover your taste. ... For me am on carbon. ..

You have to make up your own mind, but the AOSP Builds from Vova Vafin are very good. Also try Aurora ROM which is CM based
Cm based rom and aosp based rom
is there any urls for these roms
MM version from Bule is stable enough for daily use, have try that for 3 days but downgrade to Miui, because i like my skinny Miui better
HI, i have the GR5 Kii-l33 so im restricted to lollipop roms, which one is the fastest one????

I don't think there are any downloadable lollipop roms on this forum aside from maybe a debloated stock rom and if you can find the original cm 12 bring up unfortunately

I have had no problems with speed tbh, it's not the fastest device but def more than usable with custom roms. The nougat roms all run smoother than the marshmallow ones though. I've flashed quite a few of the nougat roms and have had no performance issues with any of them. Even the marshmallow ones had no issues for me.
It should run smoothly on first boot (ie with clean flash and with a clean cache/dalvik)
You can also experiment with using a custom kernel and tweaking the settings to get more performance out of your device if you want
