Just a few questions:

Hey guys! I am currently deciding which galaxy s4 rom is thr most
Stable, smooth and overall good for daily use.
My questions is

1. Is this rom a smooth and good rom for daily use?
2. I am in love with the contact icons in galaxy s4 will they be there?
3. And also are the messaging icons and stuff similar to the s4

Thank you so much I would appreciate it if you guys could take your time reading this

Only installed this yesterday, got a prompt to update SU. I tried to do this by rebooting into TWRP now stuck in bootloop with Yellow exclamation mark. Cant access recovery but can access download mode but can't seem to reload with anything that I have previously used.
Heeeelp pleeease. Feel like it's bricked atm. Just need a phone as my Note 4 crapped out on me. Waiting for Xiaomi Note 4 to be delivered but expecting a wait of 6 weeks or so. How do I reclaim my phone.
Thanks in advance

Can't you flash a kernel in .tar format using Odin and booting into recovery too? Have you already tried it? Try apolo or Philz kernel

Hi Ssanjy, I had tried reinstalling recovery via Odin 1.85 with no luck tried numerous recovery options, didn't have an installable version of Apolo from Odin only from SDcard.
Anyway I eventually got recovery added by using more up to date version of Odin 3.10 and got Siyah installed then recovered the Apolo one from SD card. All back up and running again now :eek:)

OK, so now I've encountered a different problem. Installed Facebook messenger but had to delete sevreal other apps as had run out of space. Phone kept freezing on reboot, is this possibly due to lack of memory?Also can I set phone to install apps to different location?.
Phone shows approx 2gb of Device Memory as 1.97gb with only 379mb free. But also showing 11.50gb of USB Memory with 9.74gb free . I also have 20gb free on SD card.
I have installed quite a few apps but don't feel that they could possibly have used up all myDevice memory,
Phone has been freezing and crashing and rebooting and repeat. I deleted FB messenger and reinstalled ROM and all seem ok but based on previous experience with a variety of ROMs this phone seems to just give up the ghost and freeze randomly.
Any advice welcome.

you should re-partition your phone, repartitioning will give you a better memory management, it will increase the data partition size from 2GB to your desired value and will take from the internal storage (11.5GB) which will give you more space to install all apps you want, there are 2 updated guides to re-partition, one uses PC and the Other doesn't, both guides are available in the Q&A thread.
also the S2 is an Old phone after all, i don't use Facebook on it, that makes my phone faster.

Have you repitted your internal SD to get at least 3-4 GB in data partition? If not it's required since Mm and Nought ROMs take up more data storage... And its been discussed that FB does affect the performance of the phones....
