New to S4

So I just recently bought this beast of a phone, and I'm loving it. I am rooted and stuff and have been messing around with the ROMS on the forum for the Verizon S4. I found this forum the other day and was wondering if I can flash these ROMS to my S4 which is i545 rather than the i9505 or i9500. So can i flash these ROMS like a normal flash or would I have to do something different to get these ROMS like MiUi on my phone. ( I love MiUi.) Thanks for the help

For safety of the device stay away from other then your device forum
As other varaiants will have different mount codes and kernel which mostly will brick your phone

I'd like to know this too. It seems odd to me there isn't a simple way of converting a normal S4 to a Google Edition version...

I would love to know some info about that too.

You can't convert s4 into a gpe this has been answered already. .... partitions are different and if you try to change s4 partition you'll Brick your phone... We know it's same hardware but just Google and you'll see why it can't be done ...
Only a custom rom will work. ..jamal2367
Has one working but it had some bugs still

I agree with @frnkly and you have the choices now :- Flash custom ROM or get a Google edition smartphone

[Q] my I337 s4 from att is always very hot and battery dies very quick.

So, I am on 4.2.2 MDL Software on my galaxy s4 att
It get really hot even though we are not really using it and when we do use it, it really gets very hot and battery doesn't last the whole day even with very light use.
I have already rooted it but I am wary on what steps to do:
1. Should I update?
2. Should I install Custom ROM? IF yes, Which one?
I want it close to stock as possible because my wife is used to TW and I wouldn't want her to lose all the functions that samsung s4 has to offer.
I have my own s4 on 4.3 jellybean Stock and updated from att as well and I do not encounter anyproblems other than not being able to root it.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Take one with MDL as it is free to flahs anything. goldeneye or shostock a fairly stock rom's. Don't take the update from AT&T !!!! MDOB is another close to stock ROM and you can keep all the stock stuff if you like or delete it all and read this...

[Q] Help

Hi, I'm new here! Just rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago and installed a AOSP GS4 GPE 4.4.2 Kitkat by jamal2367! Everything is fine, the ROM is working perfectly but there is just one thing that I don't understand about it, this message that shows up when I boot my device! Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!

What does that mean? Sorry, I'm a newbie heheh and is there anyway to fix this? I really like the GPE version.. If this is not critical, I would just keep it the way it is

This isnt critical. Only is the message that u tripped the Knox changing the official kernel for one custom :highfive:

I see! And is there anyway to hide or take away that message? If I can't, I don't mind.. My phone is way better than before! Google Edition with Softkeys made my s4 the best one

AT&T Kitkat update

I hope somebody can help me with this. My question concerns 2 S4s. One is rooted while the other is completely virgin stock. The rooted s4 won't even allow me to check for an update no matter how many times I try. The stock s4 will check but always says it's up to date. What can I do to fix this? I'm more concerned about the stock s4 since the update will break my root on the other. But I would be curious if there's an explanation as to why the rooted s4 is doing what it's doing.

The root won't let you check probably because of the modified system. For the other one, it's known that AT&T's OTA is kinda buggy and you pretty much need a full strength WiFi and cell network connection.
