I have the Foxhound Rom installed on my s4 and on the rom features list, it says that the Samsung bloatware is removed but available on zip. What does that mean? The there are a couple of Samsung apps that I still want on my phone. Thanks!!

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i337M AT&T using it in Canada.
Right now its currently on 4.3 Jellybean but I cannot update it to the latest software as
when I click update it says something similar to "This version of Android has been modified and cannot update"
I know the reason why though, My S4 is software unlocked and I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589 Called "Enable AWS on Samsung Galaxy IV AT&T i337 & Canadian i337M"
That unlocking method can only work on 4.3 but I've read some comments saying they have got it to work on the latest software.
I'm not sure how I would do it and I don't want to risk bricking my phone or anything like that.
Some of the new Galaxy S5 Apps that can work on my S4 cant because its still on 4.3 and the new apps work on latest software only.
If anyone knows how I can update and still have my unlocking without any problems please let me know.
Also : I tried putting the S5 Launcher and deleted my old S4 launcher and now the S5 launcher didn't work because it doesn't work on old 4.3 so now I'm using Nova Launcher but when I rebooted it said "Android is upgrading" and then said "reinstalling boot" and it showed that I have S4 Launcher back but when I clicked on it, it says "Unfortunately, Touchwiz Home has stopped" If anyone could give me a solution to fix this would be great.
Thanks
Deleted touchwiz?

You're asking a few different things and I'm only going to address updating your firmware. First, once you're sim unlocked it should remain so to upgrade your firmware I'd head over to sammobile.com and download the 4.4.2 package for your phone(sgh-i337m) Then I'd flash that in Odin

Yes, I went into root explorer and found the Touchwiz.apk or whatever and deleted it and tried to replace it with the S5 launcher but that didn't work.

Launchers aren't the same as Roms.

You'll either have to find a touchwiz.apk and reinstall it or flash the firmware in Odin.
Edit, read the third to last post in this thread where I've given instructions to flash your firmware. But from sammobile.com get the nc1 firmware for your device, sgh-i337m http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51676880

Well..without rooting not possible as of now..
Without rooting No modification is possible except downloading apps from the playstore and noob customizing it..
Ormaybe check out Tamirdas UPSM mod..might help

Having stock ROM doesn't mean no rooting.
Of course root is required! Rignt now I use S5 ROM for S4 Samy deluxe ROM operation Ivy, but I'd like to use stock ROM with some S5 features! (UPSM, toolbox, Download Booster)
Anyway, thanks man!

When did I say stock rom means no rooting?
What does towelroot do? Just plain root because if you modify any-stock-thing, it'll trip knox.
But then I dont think the UPSM mod is for the odexed rom as of now..
But yeah most of the s5 features are in the zip flash form too..
Plus all you have to do is check their zips for the apk, some apks do work without flashing too..

I downloaded and installed the stock touchwiz ROM for my i9507 and it didn't come with the stock touchwiz messaging app. I tried to manually download it and install the .apk but it fails every time. I'm pretty sure it won't install because I'm not rooted anymore as the stock ROM must have unrooted my phone. Is there a way to get the messaging app on there without having to root it again?
Cheers

Not really. Why don't you want to root?

By flashing back the stock rom.
Sir,Is there another way of getting it?
I don't want to flash back to stock ROM.
Like, Flashing a camera features zip file to phone .

it's tied to the touchwiz framework so can only work on a touchwiz rom.

Unfortunately there isn't.
Touchwiz apps don't work on custom roms like CM.
Hi is there a way to use My galaxy app. once you have flashed a custom rom.
Can i flash stock firmware and use my galaxy app? since i can't' run it on custom roms.
I need the My galaxy app to get exchange coupon since Samsung is offering additional discount for note 9

As far as I know custom ROMs don't come with galaxy apps as a pre installed option. You might find a mirror site to download the app or check out link below. Flashing stock firmware yes.
Bear in mind if you modify your phone you will trip your Knox and will loose some Samsung related apps.
