it looks like stock 4.4.4 nexus (No nav bar though since we have touch buttons and a home button)

4.4.4 wipes the floor with 5.x in terms of performance and battery life. It was not only easier to develop on as opposed to lollipop, but it was better to use too. Even on my Nexus 6 I found 5.x to be a let down.
I have since moved on to pixel 2 but I'll always keep the s4. Love this phone.
I have JDC 8.1 on mine, and between replaceable battery, IR blaster, good screen... It really is a great device!4.4.4 wipes the floor with 5.x in terms of performance and battery life.

Hi Danvdh and many thanks for your wonderful work.
Totally agree with your opinion about KK compare to LL
Many thanks from France
yes the latest is 1.2.8. The one i direct linked in the OP is correct
twrp is fine
As for the question above regarding Android Security Bulletins.
The best form of security is safe browsing, not rooting and most of all not connecting to WIFI networks you don't trust. There are no security updates being pushed to this ROM. Much like TW, Samsung has abandoned us so you can either use non proprietary ROMS like what your doing now, or just have safe usage habits with this one and enjoy official drivers on AOSP. not much else to be said.
Dan, ANT+ support?
I haven't used my S4 much in the last few years. These days I flashed the latest stock modded rom so I can use the phone with an ANT+ compatible heart rate monitor while exercising.
How's the battery life guys? Screen on time, etc
Cheers for your hard work!
