This is a port of his rom, huge thanks to artas182x !

Quote from artas182x, the main creator of this ROM :
"Hello. I would like to show my own port of Android 6.0.1 with TouchWiz to our Galaxy note 3. I made it quite stable and it's incredibly fast."

Quote from @3lambda, @cedric3 and @karkasss :
"We have ported the best S5 ROM from NOTE3 to your S4 LTE-A. Enjoy !"


Bugs :

no NFC


Features :

First TouchWiz 6.0 port for any device!
The fastest TouchWiz ROM for this device
Stable
Included DarkLord kernel V1.7 by @darkera13
Very good battery life
Most of libraries and drivers are not ported, they are build for 6.0.1 It means that we have newer drivers with better support.
Clean stock rom. No additional apps, just feel like other users of stock Marshmallow.

Updated to latest DarkLord kernel V1.7
Fix com.android.phone FC (phone app crashing just after a call) (to test please)

Sensors are now working again (big thanks to karkasss !)
MTP not showing external-sdcard fixed
Fixed videos playback lagging by switching from gugu0das' kernel to DarkLord kernel V1.6

Fix keyboard (or add a better)
Add S7 Game Center :angel:

What you need :

Latest 5.0.1 STOCK ROM for S4 LTE-A
TWRP 3.0.2-0
Patience (20 min)


Installation steps :

Firstly wipe all data / make a factory reset from recovery.
You must format SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE to EXT4 (no F2FS support)

This is amazing, I thought the development for the S4 LTE A was dead. But thankfully there are still people out there. Never thought I would see TouchWiz 6.0.1 on S4. Thanks to those working hard!

@tamer.salah:
I have an E330L and both the stock and 3rd party cameras do not work.
When I plugged my phone into my Windows PC, Explorer does not show MicroSD card.
Idle battery drain is minimal but when the screen is on, the battery drains very quickly. :(

Anyway, this is a great first step, thanks for the rom. I hope to see this rom mature in the future.
