Friends.. Just wanted to share this.. I know a build is under progress for the at&t version .. but the 2 most amazing developers at CyanogenMod are now building it for the international version.. And the way they are going we should be seeing it in a few days as experimental builds.
1) @codeworkx : we all know codeworkx of team hack sung ..
https://plus.google.com/111398485184813224730/posts/aJHAEuhyfzM
And
2) @Koush : developer and maker of cwm .. rom manager and Dev at CyanogenMod

But I think he said that he was going to develop for the Qualcomm version of the S4, not sure though... A bit disappointed but we still have really amazing developers!
I have limited knowledge on rom development but I have flashed CM on my current GS2 so would like to ask a few questions -
1.How difficult is it to root and flash roms on HTC devices, the One in particular, compared to Samsung phones?
2. There was lack of documentation and dev support from Samsung's side on the GS2, how does HTC compare? Will CM have everything functioning?
3. How does the 2 button lay out work with CM? Can we configure the buttons?
The MSM8960 crew has already built CM10.1. Check the AT&T HTC One Original Android Development section.
Codeworkx is currently working along with them. Not sure about Koush.
I heard CyanogenMod is working on other stuff currently.

Cm is nice but I'm worried about loosing features from the camera
Not sure they would be able to port it cleanly

Just fyi, ATT version of the device is the same basically as international. My understanding is that there are currently two different variants: GSM (international+ATT) and CDMA (Sprint)
So, ATT ROMs will work on international devices. Trickdroid is known to work on ATT, and I have read somewhere an international user using CM from the AT&T section.

Correct, all GSM variants play nice with one another. So a Rom developed for ATT will work with the international version. People will have to be a little careful when s-off comes but typically devs do not include radio's in their Rom's.
Man I hope sprint version gets the cm loving also

You can hang out just fine in the HTC One section. It's compatible.

True - I think this is the first time people will really consider not rooting a HTC phone because of Sense.

yeah, not putting an AOSP rom on my phone this time. Too many issues in the past on phones like the sgs3 - not everything works 100%, camera quality is crap, battery life not optimized, etc. Sense 5 is pretty minimal and brings some good features.
Will Att & tmo ROMs work on either like Samsung phones?

Depends as all roms are created different. Seeing how there is only ONE rom creator thus far for this device and he specifically says ATT working ONLY, i would say the one and ONLY custom rom out now will ONLY work on ATT. Now IF a rom dev creates a rom that WILL WORK on t-mobile, i'm sure they will make that very clear.
Now if your are asking very generally, yes it's possible. Given this device is barely out for a week now and we already have Root, Custom Recovery, and a Custom Rom dev, be sure T-Mobile varient will sure get love soon my friend . Just read the custom rom's thread that you are interested in and don't bug the creator to make it workable with t-mobile, that will just annoy the hell out of them like it would anyone else. Everyone knows this device is on many carriers so IF devs want to jump on this device, you will see your t-mobile rom soon, just not today or now .
Is it possible to fully convert an S4 from ATT to the Google Play edition? I ask because I love the phone and its abilities but I am not liking touchwiz. I did the full conversion ffoe my former HTC one and was just thinking out loud.
Thanks.

It is possible in most ways but in reformatting internal memory for space. Unfortunately neither can google edition of format to touchwiz. So they are stuck with extra slim touchwiz roms.
Simple answer is no, in this case, due to signatures involved. And must also remember your bootloader is and will always be locked. Functionality wise, with wasted internal space, it would be a yes.

If you are not in MF3 (blown qFuse) then you can install any of the Google Edition Roms available. It's great, you get the best performance and it's really stable.
I'm patiently waiting for the 4.4 GE to come out...

It's out. It was released early this morning. It's just a matter of time before it gets picked up and ported over to us. Source

I've been spoiled by the pure GE ROMS, after being in 4.2 and 4.3 for a while I can't go to CM, I find it too buggy and unreliable. I've been enduring gummy 4.4 for a week but as soon as I can get the GE goodness I will flash that and won't flash anything else until the next big release
Now that this rom is released, does anyone have any idea how long something like this would take to port over?
I'm not sure if it's an easy thing or not. I know AOSP was pushed almost same day, albeit being buggy.
I'm pretty excited to get the update on my AT&T phone, however I don't remember how long it took for the 4.3 to be released for regular models.
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Awesome! That's where I got my 4.3 GPE rom, thanks for the update dude!
I'm not an expert on this, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
By what I understand, the Google Edition ROM runs with little modification on the AT&T S4. The main hurdles are with the kernel, which has to be modified slightly to run on the AT&T S4. Once a developer is able to modify the kernel to run, porting the rest of the ROM over shouldn't be a big deal. The developers are pretty brilliant and quick on this stuff, so I imagine you'll be seeing ports of the GPE ROM here pretty soon.

Basically. I mean, there isn't a significant difference in the hardware between a normal Samsung S4 and a Google Edition S4, except the LTE chips used for retrieving signal (depends on your carrier). So that being said, the kernel shouldn't be a big deal and the ROM shouldn't be either. I'm really hoping to use Kangakat as soon as it's released, I'm a BIG fan of Kangabean and have been using it along with Omega ROM with dual boot. Can't wait for this! Thanks for the good news! It's about time!

This is a great question....
I was PLANNING on flashing a 4.3 ROM but I seriously might just wait out till 4.4 ROMS...
How long do you think it would be? A couple months? A couple weeks? 3 seconds?
Guys... It comes out when it comes out. There is no telling. Please don't ask for ETAs. It is heavily frowned upon. Just be patient.

Honestly for everyone whining about people whining for ETAs, I'm gonna throw this out there - I wouldn't be surprised if it were out tomorrow to be honest.

International s4 has several roms for google edition 4.4 already. I wouldn't flash them just yet because roms for our phone are just around the corner.

Been monitoring the thread posted above, looks like there is one small issue for them to resolve with the Kernel and the 4.4 GPE rom will be ready
Here's to hoping for tomorrow

yep, it's being worked on
not quite sure what is going on with keystore, but it's causing a force close of settings. I've been in touch with both faux and ktoonsez and they are actively working on a fix

Why wouldn't it? They are the exact same device I thought.
The article states that this is the OTA, not a standalone ROM - am I wrong in thinking that it couldn't be installed?

Yes you are. The S4 Snapdragon variants (Google Play Edition, AT&T, etc) all have the exact same hardware. It will run perfectly as a flashed ROM once it's finished be g developed. Why wouldn't it?

Well, yeah, after development, but this seems to currently be installable on the I9505G, not the I337. At least according to the article, comments there, and what I've seen on the I9505G forum.

I don't think roms for Android L are out yet as Google won't be officially releasing it until next month. Then give or take a week or 3 for the devs to get their hands on it and play around with the source code to make some roms.

Lots of development is on the bootloader for this phone. A port of L should come when the international S4 gets it.
