Using Google Edition 4.3 ROM on Galaxy S4 i9505

Hi,
I recently installed Google Edition 4.3 ROM for i9505, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
It booted up fine, I put in my google account details etc, but Play Store kept crashing, no matter what I did, it kept on crashing.
So I tried rebooting, and then it got stuck on the Samsung logo.. I went back to recovery and flashed the 4.2.2 Google Edition ROM.
Play Store is fine on this but I have not yet attempted to reboot it. I would really like to have 4.3, but I am unaware of why it's doing this.
He provided a bootloop fix which I also tried, although I suspect that's not for the Samsung logo but the Google one.
Does anyone know what's causing Play Store to crash?
EDIT: I have just rebooted 4.2.2 and all is fine, so it's just the 4.3 ROM
Have you tried this 4.3 ROM?

I have not, however I will in a little while.
Does this one have any advantages or disadvantages over the one I attempted to use?

dialer and phone stopped working after update to 4.3 google edition rom

I really need some help getting the dialer and phone working again on my s4 from t mobile (I'm on mobilicity) , I had installed the google play edition 4.2 rom by jamal on my stock samsung g4 which went smoothly enough and today I tried updating to 4.3 using this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370213
and it installed fine but now whenever I try and call someone it says "unfortunately dialer has stopped working." I basically can't make any calls at all. help would be appreciated!!
I think I've also lost root access as I can't run the su app.
update*
I tried reinstalling the 4.2 google rom by jamal and it started looping during bootup, so I installed 4.3 back on it.

Google Play Edition restore to Stock Samsung errors

Hello, I have an unlocked Samsung S4 GT-i9505 UK model, and would like to put it back to stock Samsung Android.
Originally on Touchwiz Android 4.2 > changed to ‘GALAXY S4 Google Play Edition 4.3 v1.3 CoOoL_BoY’, which has been working ok, but now I’d like to go back to stock Samsung Android.
I have ‘openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx.tar’ installed on my phone.
When trying to wipe/install the latest ‘BTU-I9505XXUEMK8-20131123173333.zip’ via TWRP I encounter many errors such as ‘unable to mount system/cache/efs/modem’ etc.
I tried wiping and repairing permissions etc but whenever I try to install stock Samsung android I get an error similar to ‘Error flashing zip’.
Could this be due to using Google Play Edition VS Stock Samsung Android? Has anyone encountered this, or would be able to help?
In the meantime I had to go back to the 'Google Play Edition 4.3 v1.3 CoOoL_BoY' rom. :crying:
Many thanks

Yeah I tried the same stock one from this link thanks, but no joy.
I've now restored to stock using this link http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-and-remove-root-completely/

[Q] Trying for weeks...

I am currently running Cyanogenmod on my Sprint Galaxy S4, and for the most part, I love it, except that I have no data service unless I am connected to wifi. Away from a wifi connection I have no data and no texting ability. So I have atempted several times to return to stock, but every time I try via Odin, it fails. From what I can tell it is because Cyanogenmod is running 4.4.4 and the stock firmware I am trying to install is 4.4.3 (because there is no stock 4.4.4 firmware, at least not that I have seen.) Anyone out there have a solution or alternative for me?
Are you using the Triband model? If so, this is a mirror for the new NG5 firmware. Try to flash with Odin the modem.bin for NG5. Your phone currently had a mismatched modem version and that's why only wifi works. (Probably)

Active Zone for Lollipop

Hi, has anyone tried Active Zone for lollipop?
I've tried to install it either version odex and deodex taken from the firmware of the Galaxy S5 Active (the app is called ActiveMode_L) but when I try to install it there's an error "app not installed". Why?
This is the file deodex apk, if someone wanna try and tell me if it's only my error, it would be nice.
Thanks
