Sorry guys no time to use search.
Recently got a sgs 4 mini LTE (i9195) and was wondering what the best roms and tools are for her.
I'm pretty geeky so I like speed and stability and dark theme'd roms and just about any trick a device can pull off.
I mostly i'm and play fps games.

Please advise accordingly.
Thanks.

I really have no idea what to look for or how to get started at all.
If anyone thinks I'm going to start a troll war.. let me make it clear that I actually really like this device.
No idea what tools are safe.

Thanks for all the help.
Tried searching threads.

i'm on stock 4.2.2 and i still have no clue wtf to use.
All i want is to remove all the bloatware and get a nice kernel.

That depends on your phone whether it has Knox flag or not. You can see this in the stock recovery, with a string called: 'KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0'

If you see such string, that means you phone has Knox, install a custom recovery will trigger and become 0x1 = warranty void.

If have knox and care about warranty and only want ROOT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
If you don't have knox or don't care, than any other ROOT method with custom recovery can be used.

I always prefer the Slimrom myself, as the name applies, it got the least app preinstalled.

In the time it took you to write the first 3 posts you could easily have found the info by yourself ;)

Btw,I really like SlimKat - great battery and minimalistic - but if you like stock have a look at this rom and simply run the debloat script (should also be somewhere in there), else let me know and I will look for it in my bookmarks.

Sorry if i seemed to waste time I did some searches,
But in the past on other devices, I have had some roms that were full of trojans and even a bootloader that was made to trash a phone.
So I'm ultra careful making sure I don't flash anything funny.
