+1. It may be disconcerting at first. But once you switch you will thank yourself. Some of the AOSP are Dual Boot. So that might help.

If its particularly hard on you, try a Kang like AOKP rather than AOSP. The Unicorn will help wean off of Samsung's gimmicks. (Some do call it Unicorn po*n. :p)

Don't try ParanoidAndroid out the gate though. It will make you run for TW at fastest speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MENACE_69:
+1 definitely gunna look into this thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

okay so the verdict is in, and slim bean took it...thanks everyone for the input (still gunna give beanstalk a go after). im gunna make a nan, flash, and see what slim bean has to offer. which im sure ill love it, based off all the great feedback and all of you thinking pretty highly of it, with the exception of the aosp cam. (Fyi) I dont have anything aigainst aosp, i just stick with t.w, because the stability and great cam. The gimmicky tw features i "never" use.

you said on aosp it takes longer than the norm to send pics how long is the time delay? . what

about reciveing them any issues like unbearable or just seconds in diffrence?

Also i seen you liked the camera in the link provided a couple post back. (link below) is it worth swapping it out for the slim aosp default cam after i flash?

[APK] Camera from GE devices

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Perseus:
I can't talk about MMS, but on Whatsapp, I can send and receive pictures just fine. Sometimes there is a delay in sending but that's due to whatsapp network congestion.

As to the Camera, well I'd say keep the Slim Camera for the True View and other goodies. Use the one in the link if you are desparete for Photosphere. Better yet rename the apk to Slim Camera then install this one so you have 2 camera apps and best of both worlds.

Slim's Camera does not support Photosphere on all devices except Nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MavereXx:
The reviews for the latest version are horrible lol

Touchwiz may not be the best operating system, but the camera app is just so great. Sure it needs a little love to get fast, but once its tweaked it definitely compares, but not surpasses, in performance and battery life. Until this issue gets resolved on AOSP I don't see a reason to switch to such a basic OS.

It is noticeable when it happens, which is not all that often, just one of those things, but it is not unbearably long. [MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] has the right idea for the camera, I now have both, but before you replace the slim camera, give it a try.

+1

I like my basic OS, but to each his own. I won't fault you for using that crap. ;)

In all reality, I like TW, but AOSP is so much smoother, and it fits my needs much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] neriamarillo:
This is exactly how I feel. All I do need is the TW camera on AOSP and I would be set on AOSP!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ubelai:
With all these great builds popping up, the lag issues of nearly any ROM is pretty much tossed aside anyway.

Basically the only reason why I'm on Touchwiz is the exact same reason as to why these other people are; the camera. :(

I'd probably be on MIUI if the ported ROM had the full functioning MIUI camera on it.

I just don't understand why HDR even doesn't work on AOSP/CM etc, I'd be on it in a flash!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nexorce:
Can we say, that Slim Rom is better in battery life against a TW Rom (like FoxHound)?

I thought the main reason for battery life depends on the kernel which u use :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MENACE_69:
yes! good question, id also like to know how much battery life (guestimate) would one gain going from tw to aosp? Just from jumping to aosp from tw (not factoring in scripts, tweaks,Ktweaker shop settings or kernel)

That is one crucial factor in me converting to aosp i really do like it, but battery life would half to have a decent positive impact for me to leave the sammy cam, (assumeing the aosp rom of my choice is stable for daily use of course)

Fyi:i flashed beanstalk and slim bean and wow both great roms but slim beans feel and look (whistle) is sexyy. thanks for the input aigain guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
+1 on the MIUI

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

I could tell you a bunch of numbers all day long, but the only real answer you'll get is by flashing an AOSP and trying it yourself. Run it for a week, and if you don't like it, flash back. Like I said, personally, AOSP is it for me. When Blu Kuban gets updated, I may flash back to TW for a while, because damn it's smooth, buy AOSP suits me fine. I use my phone for text, calls, and internet, and not much of anything else.

To each his own, I really have nothing against TW, I just don't use it.

As far as stability, I have had zero problems with Slim, CM 10.2 is also stable, as I think all of them are, just read through the threads.

Also, you can't factor out tweaks and scripts, because the majority of custom TW ROMs include them, kind of a behind the scenes thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Efrenjr15:
+1 for beanstalk amazing battery life and is amazing ROm specially pared with this kernel. Is CM and Slim based so you get stability like slim and a lot more customization :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Perseus:
Are you two looking for this or that ? My vote is on second one. Note for the second one, the download link may not work. If so, search for a mirror I posted.

Kernel is part of the savings, but not entirely. The biggest difference is with the Touchwiz framework or not. The framework for all the goodies and eye candy, is a battery hog. Yes AOKP and even some AOSPs have even more crap with their own framework (Xposed Apps) that will do the same thing. But on an average if you control the AOSP framework, battery will be average 40 % better on AOSP. Others like me have gotten way better average but as far as guesstimates go this is it.I didn't factor in the tweaks and such from OP.

Last but definitely not the least. AOSP for a while had pretty bad reputation about stability. (Anybody remember "all works" tags of yesteryear ?). But several developers have now got their act together. IF an official release is declared, it has some quality testing going on. Then there are weekly beta releases and those are declared unstable. Yes there still are issues like certain Bluetooth antics but that's because most of the AOSP code stems from CM GIT.Now AOKP and the Unicorn are a different story all together. But that's another day.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
Ok. It looks like your phone did do pretty decent sleeping so your results are pretty fair. As far as the battery drain during use goes, it could be a number of things. If you are in an area with poor reception that could have a drastic affect on battery. Another huge factor is brightness as the screen itself sucks in the most juice. So I would try lowering your brightness to about 40-50%. You can turn off Gmail sync and location services when not in use if you choose. Remember to also clear out any recently used apps and make sure temperature is in tact as well. If on TW I would also suggest renaming these bin files to prevent further battery drain. Just navigate to /system/bin/ and rename each file by adding a ".bak" extension.

Balanced bull V4 is having much more success for me than the previous. Seeing better results and waking the phone is almost never an issue. Results are halfway through my run.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I did have my phone plugged into my computer for about 10 mins while transferring a couple files, so those stats are slightly fluffed. Regardless, I still have excellent battery life thanks to LuigiBull23's Balanced Bull settings, Skipjacks' Insanely Better Battery Life methods, ktoonsez' amazing kernel, and Sym_Link's unofficial CM nightlies.

I honestly believe you'd be hard pressed to find a better combo to balance performance and battery life.

No worries. You can ask any question you like here. I don't allow consistent on-topic discussions :D

As far as your problem, I'm assuming you never made a backup of your EFS folder? I would first try and ODIN back to complete stock before attempting anything else and see if that recovers your IMEI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nyckrs:
I'm not sure how to back the EFS folder. How do i go about doing this? I will do the search on this, just in case i do not find anything i can always come back here to yall folks for help. Love this thread!.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Perseus:
Priceless! I won't be getting an ID till then either.

Couple of things.

1. If its backing up the EFS folder, follow this link or this one. There was an APK to do that, which I had gotten. For the life of me I can't find that thread.

2. In your current state under Slim rom, can you check if under Settings > advanced >status you actually have IMEI or not ? What I suspect, it is possible your APN might be borked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Perseus:
Before I go any further, I assume you did pick the correct version of Slimrom. :fingers-crossed:

Going from Touchwiz to AOSP requires compulsory through wipe that will put clorox to shame. In order to do this safely, follow steps to the letter.

1. Go to Recovery, do Factory Reset, then format /System, dalvik and Cache. Ideally also format /data. Don't worry at least on TWRP formatting /Data will not touch /data/media. Its this latter that's your "Internal SD Card". Do back that if you are paranoid. At this time there is no OS so don't reboot. Stay in recovery.

2. Flash Slim Rom. Also flash correct Slim Gapps. Reboot.

3. You will likely go through the Initial setup process. Finish it and then reboot again. If you wanted to flash a custom kernel from OP, reboot to recovery instead and wipe Dalvik and Cache before flashing.

4. Let the phone settle down for next few days before you try any mods or tweaks or whatever.

Good Luck and let us know the result.

Big thanks to [MENTION=5387989]ParkerParker[/MENTION] for all of his heavy testing!

Here is another battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone.

So I proudly present to you.... Asking Alexandria

Why Asking Alexandria?

It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".

"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.

@ Luigi

I notice u have touch boost second core= 1>enable

Or maybe u forgot to turn it off. In anycase u need to set a parameter for "boost_hold_cycles" then set a frequency parameter for "touch_boost_cpu" to boost that bad girl up. Thats if u had intended to boost second core.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CamFlawless:
After much recommendation by means of this thread, I have made the switch to Slim Bean. I moved from Task650's AOKP and am enjoying it pretty well so far. I think I have finally found a means to prevent google services from sucking my battery down.

In case anyone was not aware, undisputed is one hell of a profile :good: May post screenies after this run, but currently, it looks like this: 7 hours up time, 40 mins screen time, and at 82%. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Perseus:
For the un-initiated that do not wish to feel noobish over this, Here's a quick explanation.

Boost Second Core will bring second core online whenever you touch the screen to unlock or something. Touch Boost CPU will determine the Frequency at which the said cpu will run. Boost_Hold_cycles will determine how long will the cpu be held at that frequency. Mamba's point if I get it right is that, bringing second core inherantly will chew up battery. Since this is a battery saver profile, you don't want that. Also if you do bring up the said core, you have to boost cpu or else there might be lag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mamba720027:
