hey guys i know this one discussed like bizllion times but mine had some personal Questions so i will be glad if you take time and answer them
i decided to buy a new S4 (Or HTC One :\ ) but i can't decide between i9500 or i9505 updated news claim that i9505 has better battery life than i9500
and here there is a better Rom Support and Communication in i9505 Section
and although there isn't any particular difference in benchmarks i9500 gets warm after some gaming
+i9500 officially ship here and i9505 is slightly more expensive than that so does it worth that much or not?!
+ i bought a i9500 for my dad last week and i decided to stick with my one x but after that i saw the s4 and decided to fo for it !
and i have another Q and it's that i rooted i9500 but after that i realised that i can't un-root it ( or could i ?) so i downloaded I9500XXUBMEA_I9500OJVBMEA Rom from SAMMOBILE :
1. is that the latest frimware ?!
2.i should install it via ODIN?
3.will it wipe my internal Storage ?
and also as i said before i can't decide between S4 and ONE so any of you that own them both i will be glad to hear your opinions of them both!:cyclops:
Thanks For your patient and answers !

Hi Friends,
I am about to buy the google play edition S4. But it is a but costly. I cant wait for N5 to come with 2-3 weeks of shipping time.
I have a good deal to buy GT-I9505 model unlocked version. Can i flash the GPE roms using Odin without any modifications or should i buy S4 GPE, i want to have the best of Google along with MicroSD and removable battery.
Please let me know. If this has already been answered. Please ignore and delete if necessary.
Best regards,
Lycan.
I'm not 100%, but I don't think you can flash the roms from the i9505g forum onto a i9505. But what you can do, is flash google edition based roms for the i9505 like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272

no, you have to flash roms for 9505 (and they are not perfect)
if you can buy 9505g or n4 n5
also 9505g has 13gb free, 9505 has 9gb
Hi everybody! I want to change my phone but my operator propose just the galaxy GT 9506. I read on the galaxy s4 thread that it's difficulte to root this and they are no many rom for this version. My question: can i root the galaxy s4 gt 9506 and put a firmwear from galaxy s4 gt 9505. Thank's for read my thread and to give me an answer.:silly:
Yes you can root.
No, you can't put 9505 ROM into it.
But I suspect, some mod from 9505 or 9500 may work on 9506 (same Android version should have greater chance, as we occasionally using note3 mod on our s4, it probably works as long as don't go too deep into system, like kernel things, what I am talking about is more like theme or something ) and the xposed module may work as well.
If you don't wanna AOSP ROM.
Xposed module should fit you.
I've had 9506 and return back to exchange 9505 and now I found I could get what I want on stock firmware with xposed so I'm little bit of regret actually

Most xposed mods work with S4 I9506.

Thank you for the accuracy of your answer. I hesitated between LG g2 and galaxy S4. My preference goes to the S4 because I already had a S2, S3 therefore the logical consequence was the S4. But the proposed operator by my 9506 model slows a little. Your answer made me decide to order S4 and hopefully not regret my choice. thank you

But beside the lack of AOSP ROM (someone is working on porting CM11) and 3rd part kernel, i9506 really outrun the i9505, specially the GPU part...
But anyway, it's kinda over-performance... as we usually don't need that kinda performance, even for Snapdragon 600.
I think, most ROM part of customization can be achieved by Xposed modules, good luck!
I did not need a lot of customization but I just wish rooter my phone and put a samsung official firmwear to delete all apps from my operator. The choice of S4 is really out of loyalty and passion for samsung. I do not really need the full power of the snapdragon 800, 4G as starts in France and yet I did not receive. So your information is extremely useful to me because I know I just choose the S4 9506, the rooter and remove apps operators. thank you
Hello everybody.
Is a ROM for the S4 I9515 will be definitively a dream ? Or you think there will be one, one day in a near futur.
I bought an S4 I9515 and had to return it back due to the negligible development. I advise you to replace it for an I9505 if you can. If not then I believe there's some universal S4 ROMs ( not sure ) which would hopefully work flawlessly with your device. Next time try and post in the Q & A section.

Thank you for the answer, but, in the country I live and buy the phone, there is no other model else the I9515.
G'day
I have decided that it's about time to get a custom room booted on my S4 (unbranded) as i've had it stock since launch and haven't really had much need to get a custom one on there, but I have the itch again to get rom(ing).
I was an avid rom user on the S2, but haven't bothered any time after that and I am very much out of the loop.
I have just a couple easy questions that should be easy for you guys to help me out on.
What's the best rom to use to date for this device? Along with a modem for Telstra (4G) and what kernel for battery life etc?
And do i still need to use that little mini usb adapter to remove the Triangle (not sure if this is still present on the s4 as it was on the s2)
:good:
