I am new to this rooting thing, and although there are not a lot of ROM options yet for the S4, how does one decide which ROM to move forward with?

Well if you have a non-AT&T version that can flash ROMs, the only good answer is flash a few and pick the one you like most.
And if I do have AT&T?

The bootloader is locked so wait until it is unlocked than experiment with ROMs.

Just wait, you will soon. Just like how all the US sgs3 had interchangeable roms with a few tweaks.
Wait for those tweaks.

You know this for a fact because ?
They have the same chipset, the only thing I wouldn't flash is the modem.

so can i download an 9505 official rom and be able to flash it to my phone?
Ask s developer, don't think e can answer for sure. The bootloader isn't even unlocked yet.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Nobody knows for sure at this point.
It would be nice if it turned out like my I9100M, where I flashed it with the I9100 ROM and then my phone was an I9100 from then on. They too had the exact same hardware.
Simple question: How can I install the latest google edition 4.3 on my i337?
Thanks
Hey it from the android development section and flow the usual/correct procedures to wipe and install
Well you could read or you could read. Your choice
Edit: or you could brick. Please do some reading. It is painfully obvious when someone hasn't done their "homework". You don't need to be spoonfed the steps, but should rather take it upon yourself to learn the proper way to install ROMs, search, troubleshoot, etc. You have to know what you are doing or things can go very wrong with the click of a button

so there's no bootloader or anything like that

There is not much need to install another ROM really. I mean, I too love custom ROMs but to he honest, the ROM that comes in with the G2 is really good, lighting fast, smooth and customizable.
The only thing you'll need to do will be to remove any bloatware Verizon has pre-installed.
On the T-Mobile version there's only one custom ROM (basically a clean version of the stock)
There has been not much dev activity yet, but I hope to see improvements soon, specially once the N5 comes out. So they say.
Cheers!
I have the AT&T G2, but I highly recommend TWRP recovery. I had always used CWM prior to this device, too, but I'm not sure if you have to add the Loki exploit to bypass the bootloader with CWM. TWRP has the exploit built in as best I can tell.

Sorry for the silly question but I've been curious. Any particular reason that we haven't seen any AOSP/AOKP ROMs for our device yet? Is it lack of development or is there something a bit more technical that is preventing that from happening? I usually love to tinker and they offer quite a bit more options. Again, just curious....

.....Locked bootloader
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
cant run custom kernel on locked bootloader (retail version)
Yeah but didn't the Bionic also have a locked bootloader? We were still able to run AOKP through safe strap. Hopefully we can run AOKP the same way on the Note 3. Unless I'm wrong about the Bionic.

This is a complete guess but I'd say it wasn't a full aosp rom. Probably just a rom made to look and work like aokp on the regular kernel

I just want to make sure I understand this. There is currently a thread on T-Mobile Developer forum for CM10.2. While it's not working well now, once it's debugged it should work fine on our DEs, with the stock TM CM10.2 kernel?

correct. i believe you have to change just the apn or use global settings but it can be done no big deal at all. kernels run with no issues. im on tmobile kernel from imo with zero issues at all!

Nope. You can't install any aosp based Roms compiled from source. You can only use TW Roms, and one google edition ROM that's in the general section
