[Q] putting a custom ROM/kernel on i9505g GE MFD

I have a brand new GE Android 4.2.2 running MFD that I'd like to be able to flash Android 4.3 and/or the Faux Kernel on to enhance functionality. I've been scouring the xda forums for a couple of days and can't find any posts with anyone attempting this. I had no problem rooting the phone and installing CWM recovery but for the life of me I can't get a custom rom or kernel on it. I have tried i9505 MF8 roms and various kernels including Faux. I've tried dirty flashing and clean flashing. I can't the phone to boot after installing any of these and always have to revert back to my stock backup. (I believe it because I'm on MFD).
Anyone else trying this, something similar, or have any ideas?
Any advice would be greatly Appreciated.

It doesn't work yet. We have no custom ROMs or custom recovery for our phone (9505G) as of yet. The 4.3 leak has a lot of issues for most of us. If you've flashed and gotten stuck not being able to load - I recommend following my directions here to fix - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360346
4.3 on GE
Thanks malybru!
I was able to flash 4.3 on my i9505 GE this evening.
It's a little buggy. Navigation is gone and the GPS doesn't seem to function correctly.
The rom does say experimental so I was expecting some degree of bugs.
Frankly I'm just happy I was finally able to flash something on my phone.
Are there any other roms available for the i9505 GE?
I haven't been able to find any, but of course I was unable to find the 4.3.
Thanks again for your help
No Roms

The only thing I wasn't able to load were the MF8 roms such as Omega. I was never in a soft brick state. It's disappointing to know there are no roms out yet but not surprising. I was wondering how the community would support the GE phones. I wasn't sure if there'd be hoards of developers using the phones or none at all.
XDA should have a GE category in the i9505 section.
Thanks for the advice.

My galaxy s4 has lags?

Hi all, I'm experieng a very bad and fastidious problem. I was on danvdh GE rom with my galaxy gt-i9505 and all was working properly. A day I have the (bad) idea to update the kernel. I was using kt kernel. I updated it and I don't liked because it was a little bit laggy, so i reverted back to a previous version. No way, the lag was still there. I full wiped intalling faux123 kernel but lag was still there. I did many and many full wipes and I tryed many and many roms and kernels. I don't think that my problem is a rom or a kernel. I tryed as well tw roms (unusable with this problems because they are slow and with this problem much more) and GE roms. I also notice a lag in the bootanimation, samsung or ge edition, after a full wipe. What's wrong with my phone? I'm with the old bootloader but I don't think this is the problem because before all was working properly! Do you think that my phone is damaged or what? I tryed as well a Deep Clean 1 but nothing, still laggy! Saying my phone is laggy I mean that:
1) the bootanimation is laggy
2) using the phone I can see animations lags and no smoothness but not ever.. every 1 minute? Don't know what's happening!
Please help me, I'm going crazy! I hate lags... thanks in advantage..

[Q] Nexus 7 2012 not updating after flash

Hello all,
I am fairly new to rooting so please bare with me, I'll keep this short since I know I screwed up big time. I have a Nexus 7 2012 running 4.2.1, I rooted it no problem. My issue is that I had the cyanogen mod rom and the gapps that I wanted to flash but couldn't flash the cyanogen, so I flashed the gapps. Needless to say..now google doesn't work (youtube, gmail, etc.). Tried to restore, but it keeps doing the same thing and it won't update at all. Still running the stock recovery and just wanted to know how to fix this problem so that I can eventually get on android 4.4.4.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

go to stock recovery and do a factory reset and read alot more before you do anything else

Thanks for the advice, but I tried that and once it comes back up I still get the "Unfortunately, Gmail, Youtube, Google Play Music, & Text-to-Speech has stopped." Should I try to manually update to 4.3, I read that I can't get to 4.4 without being on the earlier version.
Flash the stock gapps.

[Q] Wi-Fi refusing to turn on... Help!

I currrently have a Galaxy s5 sm-g900v. Two days ago, I flashed Alliance rom via Safestrap and everything was great until my wifi starting acting dumb. It refuses to turn on, just hangs. I have tried flashing the modem, and Blaze kernel, hoping it would fix it, but no luck. I unrooted and Odin'd back to complete stock, and it STILL won't work. Somebody please give me some pointers on how I can fix it Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

i would do a clean wipe and flash stock rooted rom.
i had something similar but not as extreme as yours.
i was on ricks rom and it didnt autoconnect and id have to put in the password everytime i connected.
i clean wiped and installed stock rooted 4.4.4 and all is fine.
keep trying different roms if until you find one that works.

Youve posted this in two threads and althought it might work it has nothing to do with ricks rom as many others including myself have been using ricks rom flawlessly.. Id say wipe and flash the rom over again fresh and see if that works.. But saying try another rom isnt a good solution when ricks rom works just fine 99% of the time

Just giving help to those that need it based on my experiences. It just so happens that ive been on ricks rom and i had that issue. Nothing against rick and his rom but thats the situation and thats how i fixed my issues.
I believe when you are using safestrap you are supposed to flash the kernel modules to get Wi-Fi to work. Or am I mistaken about that?
Thanks guys, but I got it working by factory resetting from stock recovery.

Lag in TouchWiz [Custom Rom]

Hey folks
I've been rooting my phones for a long time now and never had big issues.
Currently using NameLess rom, kernel and the correct bootloader+modem.
I came from SOKP for the Note 4 (TRLTEXX) and wanted to go back to TouchWiz.
The only problem I found using other roms (not just NameLess) is that it lags/choppy/stutter while using the phone. It happens during typing, filming, scrolling etc etc.
Also tried wiping the dalvik/cache and reflashing the ROM. So I ran out of ideas and not sure how to fix it.
So far SOKP and CM12.1 runs smooth without any stutter. Not sure what I've done wrong or how to solve this problem.
Hopefully one of you can help me out
