Hey All,
Just updated from the S3 LTE to the S4 LTE and so far I am very happy wit it
Just wanted to get your advice regarding the current Jelly Bean 4.2.2 installed, is it working fine? any issues with it?
I will root the device shortly and considering installing a different ROM, I was running the CM 10.1 on my S3, is there any difference between the CM available for the S4?
The new available ROM's will keep the most the S4 features available for use?
Any particular ROM people suggest?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
So I really want to make my S4 a google edition because the batter will be alot better. However, the only thing stopping me is Samsung awesome Camera. Any ideas? What you all think is it worth it??
Thanks
Definitely go with the i9505. You have the option to flash a GE rom if you really want to and also all the custom Touchwiz roms on offer.
I think you may be able to flash Touchwiz roms on the i9505G but all roms in the i9505 forums flash straight on to the phone without needing any modification to updater-script or kernels.
and IMO Touchwiz is actually really good on battery, certainly better than the GE rom's I've tried but of course that's subject to use
You definitely have more options with the 9505. And actually the ROMs aren't that great. From my experience TW ROMs have the best battery life from all ROMs, GE and CM included.

Thanks for the input that is what I was expecting!
Can you guys clarify which versions are which.

The i9505G is the Google Edition of the SGS4. At this point it is only able to run Google Edition ROMs which are pretty much stock Android. There are ways to get CM working but you have to modify things to get it working Afaik there are some people working on a TW port for this version.
The i9505 is the official Samsung version which runs TW. But it can also run Goolge Edition ROMs and AOSP based ROMs e.g. CM or PA without any modifications.

I have an international version of the S4, the jfltexx version. I justflashed it with Jamal's 4.3 GE ROM.
Is my device considered i9505G now?
If i want to install a custom recovery, must I get versions that are for i9505G? (I am assuming i9505 version will not work too well now)

No it stays an i9505. The i9505G has a different bootloader etc. So only by flashing a GE ROM on an i9505 you won't get an i9505G.

Hello,
Looking for a better alternative of the original stock Samsung 4.4.2 ROM for Galaxy SIV. Cannot make my decision since there are varied experiences and mixed reviews all over the scene, can anyone please recommend a good variant which can be used as a daily driver.
I am using 4.2 WanamLite, but now Wanam has halted future refinement and upgrade of his 4.4.2 version for i9500. Have a look at the following to understand and verify if the following are really true or just the result of an upgrade procedure badly done by ignoring the required steps.

To make your decision it is better to test these options yourself....
XDA rules.
I have tried a few 4.4 based ROMs and finally switched back to 4.3
Battery drain is a BIG problem I faced with 4.4. It went down to 15hrs from over 24hrs earlier.
Still looking for a better ROM. Not sure what are the advantages of updating to 4.4 really!

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) and I am looking for a good Rom.
Since I am new to Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Modding I have no idea which Rom fits my expectations:
Android 6.0.1
Samsung Launcher/Theme (like on Note 4 with Android 6)
stable/fast/efficient
minimum of bugs
everything works which is not hardware limited (!S-Pen support!)
I already found out that NFC is often not supported. Thats no problem.
Can someone recommend me a Rom?
They are all posted here .

Im abit confused and hoping someone can help out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) and have always used the hlte CM12.1 nightly's - Are these the 'official' CM roms ? And the other custom roms in the development forum, are variants of the hlte but with their own themes or features?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...-3/development
Like the user above, I just want a 'stock' CM rom but with the best battery life and as few bugs. I dont even care for the S Pen. Its a minefield, I'm hoping someone could please explain
Also the last nightly was from hlte was on 2016-07-10, does that mean no more updates? If so, how could I apply updated android security patches?
I have Galaxy S4 GT-i9515 Value edition (jfvelte) currently with cyanogenmod 14.1 Unofficial and it is terrible.My camera isn't working and apps are lagging and crashing and the phone reboots randomly.I use my phone as a daily drive and this is unacceptable for me.Since Samsung are "smart" and have released 800 different versions of the same phone,and with my luck i have the least popular version and even tho i have been searching alot i can't find any ROM at all.Can you guys help out,if you know a good custom ROM for my version,or if you know ROM for other S4 version,that will work on mine(probably not,i had already read the thread here and people are saying their touchscreen is not working).I love my S4 and want to get the maximum out of it,and having an custom ROM is just awesome,but in the worst case i will install the stock ROM.You guys are my last chance
Look through the pages of this section.
There should be a few ROMs there, though I believe most are android 5/6.
Hi guys
Iv got a tab 4 as a gift running kitkat 4.4.2
I would like to install a custom rom as it looks very old and cranky, even though its only a 2014 tablet (why the hell samsung didn't update this I'll never know)
Iv installed Twrp,
I see there seems to be a limited number of roms for this device, any advice would be great.
I was looking at the moonlight rom. Apparently it works with the tab 4 WiFi.
Thanks for your time.

I am looking for a ROM for this device, too. And I didn't find any ROM that is worth rooting my tablet and installing TWRP and things like that... All those ROMs are based on the same system, same android version, except for apps and some theming mods... I don't know why don't they just try to make an AOSP nougat ROM for this device, or porting a TW lollipop ROM to our tablet.
I have Samsung tab 4 Sm-t239 I want to install marshmallow.....presently tab is having android kit kat 4.4.4.....can anybody help
Thanks in advance
