Hello!
I am trying to get CM10.1 (hopefully) partially working on the I9500 international version, now I am not that experienced and only build custom stock firmware for myself on my galaxy s3, it's also worth noting that I don't own the International S4, which makes this even harder.
But you're still reading so that's good.
I will be attempting to build and see if I see any progress, I will post them for download and testing when ready.
I do NOT own the device.
When I release a test build, it might brick your device, it's untested.
This may never work for me, so don't get too excited
Wish me luck
I will be trying to save up some money to get the intl S4 soon, so I won't give up

Sorry but I had to post this here instead of the dedicated GPE forum as I am a newer member and could not post in the development section yet. I have a question about the compatibility of some of the more popular roms with the Google play edition of the S4. I currently own the AT&T variant of the S4 and just purchased the GPE as I am sick of not being able to flash Paranoid on my device due to the locked bootloader. When I purchased the GPE I was under the impression that with the unlocked bootloader I would be able to flash whatever I wanted on the device but from the research that I have done it seems like there is not a lot of support for the GPE and therefore only a few roms out there.
I was trying to find out if it will be difficult to get one of the carrier versions of even PA 3.99 to run on the GPE S4 with minimal changes hopefully just to the update script? Please forgive this post residing here but I have read through all of the threads on the i9505g and haven't really come across good answers. I don't know if I should keep the GPE if there is not a lot of rom support as that is my main reason for purchasing it being that I already have the locked carrier version.
Thanks guys ...
Just in case anyone was in the same situation as me ... I went ahead and flashed the nightly CM 11 for the international version and it worked. I have been using for a day now and have not had any issues. Pretty happy !
Hi everybody! I want to change my phone but my operator propose just the galaxy GT 9506. I read on the galaxy s4 thread that it's difficulte to root this and they are no many rom for this version. My question: can i root the galaxy s4 gt 9506 and put a firmwear from galaxy s4 gt 9505. Thank's for read my thread and to give me an answer.:silly:
Yes you can root.
No, you can't put 9505 ROM into it.
But I suspect, some mod from 9505 or 9500 may work on 9506 (same Android version should have greater chance, as we occasionally using note3 mod on our s4, it probably works as long as don't go too deep into system, like kernel things, what I am talking about is more like theme or something ) and the xposed module may work as well.
If you don't wanna AOSP ROM.
Xposed module should fit you.
I've had 9506 and return back to exchange 9505 and now I found I could get what I want on stock firmware with xposed so I'm little bit of regret actually

Most xposed mods work with S4 I9506.

Thank you for the accuracy of your answer. I hesitated between LG g2 and galaxy S4. My preference goes to the S4 because I already had a S2, S3 therefore the logical consequence was the S4. But the proposed operator by my 9506 model slows a little. Your answer made me decide to order S4 and hopefully not regret my choice. thank you

But beside the lack of AOSP ROM (someone is working on porting CM11) and 3rd part kernel, i9506 really outrun the i9505, specially the GPU part...
But anyway, it's kinda over-performance... as we usually don't need that kinda performance, even for Snapdragon 600.
I think, most ROM part of customization can be achieved by Xposed modules, good luck!
I did not need a lot of customization but I just wish rooter my phone and put a samsung official firmwear to delete all apps from my operator. The choice of S4 is really out of loyalty and passion for samsung. I do not really need the full power of the snapdragon 800, 4G as starts in France and yet I did not receive. So your information is extremely useful to me because I know I just choose the S4 9506, the rooter and remove apps operators. thank you
I'm sorry to have to ask a question such as this but I would like more roms to choose from and it seems like international at&t forums have a lot more options. I don't know when to install googlies xstra small patch or an auto port patch. I know how to flash through ss3.72 and am running a stock NC5 rooted deoxed rom right now. I was happy to have hyperdrive but now I just want to toy around with other roms and I think there is something to this auto port/international stuff.... thanks for your time, I'm new and have googled a lot, just no conclusive answers how to run at&t based roms on my sch-i545 verizon galaxy s4.
Looking desparately for a Samsung S4 I9500 Lollipop (5.0.X) Stock ROM TouchWiz screenshots of:
1. Phone application while in call.
2. While in call and keypad open.
I tried almost everything but no Luck! And I just got to put my hand on ASAP...
Any idea how to get such screenshots before february??
Thanks!
It looks exactly the same as other 5.0 tw phones like S5
Check out the previews/reviews on youtube. There were a couple.
You might also take a look at the s5 versions since they will be similar.
Sound like a good direction, but what makes you so sure the exact UI is the same on both S4 & S5 ?
Now, I found on XDA forums the rom:
[GT-I9500ZCUJOA3]AP3900764-QB3709712_CP1859016-QB3536216 by RBS
Which is I9500, lollipop, and seem to be stock rom. Yet I am not sure it has english in it and that I would be able later to use my phone... Kinda risky!
And I think many people would gain from more S4 Lollipop screenshots being published, as soon as possible... So, if you got one

Video comparison between kitkat s4 and lollipop s4
A second video comparing kitkat and lollipop
Those videos are older and the look might have changed. But it might give you an idea.
And I suggested that the UI is the same on both, s4 and s5, because, from what I saw, the samsung lollipop on s4 looks a lot like the UI of the kitkat s5.
Also, I wouldn't recommend installing the leaked version as I saw several threads where people reported losing their IMEI number and other problems. Either go custom or wait for an official samsung update.
can not find lollipop rom for s4

Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.
