Hallo Everyone,
I finally got my S4 from T-Mobile Germany. I'm now searching for the right development forum to find some ROMs. Which is the correct variant forum for me? Is it the "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development" forum? Does it cover the german ones?
Best Regards
What is your phone model?
This is US version sGH-M919. If you have same its yours too.

Well, of course you have the Snapdragon version. So that's the main thing to focus on as far as development. The US Tmobile S4's are Snapdragon as well....so as far as I know, maybe minus an LTE band, your German S4 and the US S4 are identical hardware wise.
I'm new to the Samsung root scene, but with my HTC, we had to have SuperCID to be able to flash any ROM that fit our hardware, despite what carrier it was for etc.
I'm sure someone with more Sammy knowledge can give you better info, on if it's ok to flash any ROM or Kernel related to the I9505. Or if you even need to have SuperCID, or something like it on Samsung devices.
Cheers

Hi there,
I'm new to ROMs and stuff...actually new to Android. Just switched after many years of iOS...since the start actually.
Basically I've got an S4 and I've put the Google Edition ROM on it. Now it's saying a system update is available and I can't seem to hide it from the notification tray etc.
I read somewhere that if you're using a custom ROM you shouldn't apply system updates? So before I do anything is that true? Should I not install it? If not.... how do I hide the update...
Thanks for your help

This is not the sub-forum for the Galaxy S4 - this is the Galaxy S4 Active forum. The S4 Active is the water-resistant version of the S4; they do not share ROMs and many other respects. The sub-forum you want is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2162
The Galaxy S4 Active has a locked bootloader (the AT&T SGH-i537 version, the International version has been unlocked iirc) and is a completely different beast with respect to ROMs and whatnot compared to the hugely popular S4.

There are MANY models of S4 and some will make your $700 phone a paperweight if you use the wrong software. Make sure you are in the correct device forum. Moved to correct forum.
Hey I'm new to this site so sorry if this is the wrong place to post or if it had been answered before!
What does it mean when people refer to the S4 as the Samsung I9500? I have the US Cellular SCH-R970 and I would like to root it and install a more stock android like rom on it and I've been trying to do some research but I keep getting hung up because I don't see my model listed very much. I do how ever see everyone throwing out Samsung I9500 though. Can someone explain this and possibly point me in the right direction?
i9500 is the international exynos version i think.
i9505 is the international snapdragon 600 version.
i9506 is the international snapdragon 800 version.
there are also other models. you can find a lot more info on gsmarena.com

Thanks for getting back to me. That makes sense. So do you know if the US Cellular version of the S4 is limited in roms I can put on it? Like I said, I haven't really seen much on my version.
Well it depends very much on the number of devices sold.
depending on what you want - if you like a specific custom rom - you should search for it on the forums or strait through google. It is very easy to search for something like: SCH-R970 cyanogenmod 11 xda -> resulting in some useful threads.
good luck! and good flashing!
Is there ANYONE who can provide a list of ROMS compatible with my Note 4 .. I have tried a few and HATE I cant use other roms meant for ALL Note 4's. I have a snapdragon Note 4 I was really hoping any and or all snapdragons would be able to be used with my device but im guessing this is not the case ... hence why im asking whats compatible???

Please post in question and answer section. Post reported.
Am I right in saying your model is the verizon variant ? This thread might be interesting for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/howto-converting-retail-note-4-to-t3358957
Plus there is a verizon forum

Is this reply for me? If so THANK YOU atleast someone is nice around here. Im afraid to offend #Crimsonthunder they seem a bit touchy and already got me into trouble so I need to watch what I say LOL.
I already follow the Verzon forum ... I was hoping since I had snaldragon I could flash any and or all snapdragon ROMS ... seems that is not true. I have flashed a few others that were meant for SM-N910F phones and they worked.

I have been scouring the threads .. I haven't found 1 ROM I fell in love with I thought I did and I am unable to use this ROM its for the F model Note 4. that's my dilemma I can use another F model ROM but not any in this forum ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev
Hi all, I've just joined and have just finished rooting my Samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9007. I've tried searching on the net for custom rom but they all seem to be for other variants of the note 3. Can someone point me in the right direction. I did notice the cm14 rom but that was for sm-n9005 so I'm assuming it won't be compatible. In case you can't tell I'm far from being a pro at this sort of thing but just wanted to try a different rom out as I'm sick of Android 5.0. Thanks in advance, Michael.
Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Galaxy Note 3 Q&A for more relevant answers.
Good luck
You may have difficulty with that model .

Thanks, yeah it does seem like that. There's plenty for the n9005 but I'm assuming I can't use those rooms on my n9005?

Be sure to open up the ROM post on the forum and read the compatibility list. In most cases, they use N9005 as a base but it also might be compatible with other variants
For example I'm using an n7 port which only mentions compatibility with the N9005 (but it does not say EXCLUSIVE for the N9005) but as I kept reading on the same post, I learned that the N900T (my variant) is also supported to install
So please read the forum carefully and/or use the search function on that thread. You'd be surprised to know how many people have asked if their Note 3 variant is also supported
Hope this helps!
