For this week’s Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 ROM of the week, check out the latest version of Force ROM.
UPDATE: Check out the TriForce ROM instead!!!
Force ROM is based on MDL Sprint firmware and comes with KTweaker/Ktoonseze kernel with support for overclocking up to 2.3Ghz.
You will find KTweaker app on-board so you can overclock your CPU to 2.3Ghz (although I don’t recommend OC unless you absolutely need it) and also undervolt CPU to save battery life. (Be careful when undervolting as your phone can freeze, just try small changes at a time.)
Some great features included hacked native hotspot (free wifi tethering), Viper4Android Sound Mod (for tweaking your sound on speakers/headphones), long-press menu kill button, 4-in-1 boot menu, and some more.
The coolest feature on the Force ROM is its transition animations. Once you use it, you will love it over stock transitions.
Overall, Force ROM is really for those of you looking for an efficient Sprint ROM without all the bloatware. You will find most of Samsung bloatware removed on this ROM while it has been optimized for faster performance and better battery life.
If this fits your flashing budget, flash it this week(end) and do let me know what you think!

Hey Max,
I have been having trouble accessing my sd card that is installed in my s4. When I go to install the rom that is on my sd card or even perform a backup to my sd card through cwm recovery I get the message “Can’t mount /external_sd”. Any way to fix this?
Can you read the SD card on your computer? Sometimes SD cards go bad, one of mine works 25% of the time. It might be time to get a new one. Especially Extreme microSD cards from SanDisk are pretty bad at doing this. You can try testing with another SD card if you have another one.
I can read it on the computer and I can even move things to it such my music and things but it just doesn’t let me access it from cwm recovery. I have a 64 gb Sandisk Extreme.
I think CWM recovery only supports FAT32, try formatting your SD with FAT32, you can do this easily on your computer, right click and choose format.
The FAT32 format worked! Thanks Max!
Hey Allen, try formatting your external sd card using MS-DOS (FAT). I had this issue when I was trying to backup to my external using Philz.
Btw, this is a pretty sweet ROM. It’s been my first and daily. Really smooth TW-based. I liked it so much I donated to the Unknown dev. The only issue I’ve had so far is that I can’t add any Dashclock widgets to the lockscreen and contacted the dev via email about it, but never got a reply. I don’t have enough posts to post a comment on his ROM thread. I emailed him once about implementing Quick unlock from AOKP and said he would add it so maybe we’ll see it in his 3.0 update.
I got it now. Thanks riverob.
Is the mobile have Turkish Language support?
No Turkish support. I checked the Language options and it only has:
English
Español
Tieng Viet
Korean
Chinese
You can post a message on his ROM thread and request it. He’s a one-man-show so he will get to it when he can.
thanks brother :/
How to get to him??
Your best bet is to post your inquiry on his original thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261943
Or email him directly, but like I said earlier, he might not reply since he didn’t reply to me the second time I asked him about not being able to add DashClock widgets to the lockscreen.
My bad. You can actually add DashClock widgets. You have to set your Lock Screen Screen Security to Swipe and check Multiple widgets. Your phone just won’t be “locked”.
Search for the ROM thread on XDA and post your inquiry there. He will respond there rather than through emails.
I’ve been using this ROM a few days now and really like it, reative to the stock ROM there was a very noticable improvement in battery life and speed!
My only concern is after flashing the ROM my S4 isn’t detected anymore when I hook it up to a PC or Mac… Any suggestions on how to correct?
Make sure USB is in MTP mode not in installer mode first.
Love the ROM. It’s super smooth and the transitions are awesome. My only issue is it doesn’t seem to be able to find any of my blue tooth devises. Any ideas how to fix this?
Try resetting your bluetooth device.
Hi Max, I’m loving this rom. Question I have is about the notification Sprint pushes about the MF9 OTA update. If I install that will it ruin the phones root status? Or is there another way to get the features of the update working (mainly move apps to sdcard)? Thanks!
Forget the update, if you love this ROM, just install TriForce ROM, by same developer with the latest MF9 update:

Holy Cow, Triforce is the bomb!! I had a weird thing happen after I moved my apps to sdcard though. They all disappeared/uninstalled, or something? I had to reflash… didn’t try moving to sdcard again though. Is that a known bug?
Had triforce was sweet by my WiFi and mobile hotspot refused to work so now I’m downgrading 🙁
Hi,
Can I unlock GSM on my Sprint S4 model SPH-L720 for use in Brazil? I buy by Amazon.com and can’t use.
Can you help me?
Tanks
Is anyone else having problems installing? Mine keeps giving me an error install. I am running the MF9 update and using TWRP 2.6.0.0. I have flashed many ROM’s on my old Droid Bionic and flashed Google Play on my S4 without problems. Any thoughts? Thanks!
it content interface Arabic !!!
TriForceROM 4.0 is an awesome rom. Works really well. I update it to 4.1 and the wifi no longer works. What is the proper way to flash the update?
I have deleted cache and dalvic cache.
Hey can you please mention some roms for sprint spark SGS4 aka SPH-L720T
