I was wondering if this was possible. I looked around but could not find anything pertaining to the intercept. I'm on stockROM rooted after previously going tot he sprint 2.2 rom. Is there a way I could flash it? I remember hearing a while ago that samsung has a weird boot that makes it impossible to change...i could be terribly wrong though. And anyone have a suggestion on a stable rom based on the 2.2 update?

i have the telus galaxy s fascinate 3G+ (SGH-T959D) running stock telus 2.3.3 thats been rooted using superoneclick.
i dont have a custom recovery installed. (i dont really need one as im not really looking to install custom roms)
im not sure if the current (i think TLKG2) has a fix or not. im not interested in going back to 2.2. im hoping to find something that works through odin to install.
every aspect of the phone is stock telus including stock telus 2.3.3
im simply looking for a lag fix that's specific to this version.
can anyone point me in the right direction? i'm coming up empty handed on here.
bump.
I'm in the same boat, but WOULD like to flash ICZen's Royale With Cheese....
forgive me if I've missed any existing threads that have successfully dealt with this issue...I've been looking through several without results (yet)...
Hello there.
I have been using my n9005 for a while now, have it rooted and I have been messing around with a lot of roms. Recently I installed a version of Cyanogenmod to check it out, the sad part was that the phone didn't work so I had to revert back to TW. I thought I would upgrade to KitKat and my version of CM was KitKat 4.4.2, but now when I try to go back to TW it just won't boot. I've tried a couple of recoveries and I've tried several roms, I've even tried going back to JB but I seriously can't get my phone to boot with TW. Is there any way I can fix this?
I fixed it, apparently my Odin was broken. Sorry for the thread.
So I've seen a lot of threads with links to the stock S5 (or modded for compatibility) apps ported to the S4. I would absolutely love to have the newer experience on my current S4. I know there is some things that can't be replicated but it appears that all the things I'd like to change are indeed available. Other than removing bloatware, getting these apps to replace the ones I have is the only reason I even consider rooting my device at the moment. But I seriously need more information before I begin this process. Also, it appears that the S4 will eventually get not only these new features in the near future but will also receive Android L.
What I want to do:
Replace all my stock apps including the launcher and etc. with the port versions from the S5.
Questions I have:
Has anyone else done this successfully?
Does everything function as intended?
Will this work on a stock rooted ROM?
If I screw up or decide otherwise, will I be able to revert the device back to stock completely(I normally use Odin+files to return it to the NB1 state)?
If the S4 gets the rumored update(mentioned above), will I be able Will I be able to revert back to stock (Above) in order to update and get these items in the official manner?
Thanks again for all the help. Need as much information as I can get as soon as possible.

C'mon!
Over 78 views and not a single reply? I could really use the information here guys. I haven't been able to find much information on how to go about doing this. Tried searching on my own and was unable to get anywhere so this is sort of a last resort/hope for me on this matter.

I know there is a ROM called Echoe ROM that is supposed to be the S5 ported to the S4, but I haven't messed with it any. From what I saw of ZedoMax's youtube video, it seems that everything is functioning fine. You will have to have a rooted phone with either custom recovery (MDL firmware is the only s4 firmware that allows custom recovery to be installed) or safe strap recovery to boot the echoe ROM.
You should be able to ODIN back to stock if anything acts up, however I am not 100% on this. If you want to revert back to stock for the Android L update, I suggest making a Nandroid backup of your stock ROM so you can restore the backup later to fetch the update after unrooting.
Note in order to update you need to be 100% stock unrooted with no bloatware removed. The s4 is picky about ODIN. Some firmwares you can downgrade to an older firmware, other firmwares won't let you and you risk bricking. Hope this helped.
Hello XDA. I am going to unroot and return to stock firmware and recovery as i would like to update the phone through samsung kies. As i understand i need to update the boot loader and modem. I then plan to reroot and install ktoonz recovery and get a newer rom. I have an SM-g900w8 (telus) currently running x-note NE2 software version 3 i belive and ktoonz 08.04.2014 kernel with twrp 2.8.0.0. I rooted the phone 3 days after i got it and never took a samsung update. I am just curious as to weather i need to revert to stock recovery before i flash the stock firmware. I made a brick out of my S2X trying to revert to stock so i am a little gun shy. Also wondering if this whole coarse of action is advisable and worth the trouble. If there are any known issues with rooting and flashing after samsungs latest updates. Also if anyone can provide or point my toward the stock firmware for a telus sm-g900w8 that would be great as i cant seem to find a reasonable place to download it. i apologize for not doing more reading and research but i just spent 6 months away from home working so i am trying to catch up. Thanks again XDA any help info or criticisms are appreciated .
Currently have TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed and a rooted stock 4.4.2 using the D800.
Does anyone know of any tutorials that can tell me what to do? I'm not new to all this but this G2 has got to be the most discombobulated phone to tinker with that I've come across.
I'm reading that the go to MM I first have to flash KK but then I read that I need to upgrade my TWRP or something to flash KK then there's all this about different bootloaders and etc etc....
I'm just lost. Everything I can find is all from like 2-3 years ago so I don't know what's changed since then, etc.
*sigh*
Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I can help i have same phone , but i see other question in other thread . whats the situation.? right now of the phone. and ill do my best to explain the process never been in jb but i think its the same..
Which specific Marshmallow you're asking about? There is no official LG G2 Marshmallow, but there are several AOSP ROMs. Usually, the process is explained on the ROM developer site or here on this forum in the ROM's announcement.
