SlimKat Android 4.4.2 ROM for Galaxy S4! [GT-i9505/U.S Variants]

Check out the video below!

If you're familiar with the ROM SlimBean, then you will most definitely be familiar with the ROM SlimKat. These ROMS are very similar, but SlimKat is simply based off of KitKat instead of Jellybean. This ROM for the Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and Canadian variants is a great ROM. 

This ROM is based off a clean AOSP ROM that comes with some nice features including KTweaker to take control of your kernel. You have options to change the voltage, improve performance, battery life, and so much more! SlimKat ROM also comes with a nice two layered pie control to add extra functions, and a 5x6 app drawer. 

The one feature I was surprised about was the new look of multitasking. When holding down the home button a right side panel pops up to show you all the running apps. While this feature isn't revolutionizing it does change up your usual look of the AOSP multitasking feature. 

Be sure to try out SlimKat ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and Canadian variants using the download links below!
