I was on Galaxy Note previously. Had an amazing time rooting the phone and installing new roms based on Stock, Paranoid Android, CM, etc.
However after buying s4 the fun of rooting has gone. I am using the same OMEGA ROM. If i wanted only stability i would have just rooted my phone.
ANY IDEA WHEN IS CM OR PARANOID ANDROID COMING TO S4. This is so damn irritating.
I know s4 is relatively new. BUT STILLLL

If you wanted developer support (such as CM, unofficial PA, etc) you should have bought an i9505, plain and simpl.e

Hello guys, Some sellers from amazon are selling the I9500 at 400 bucks. Would you go for it?
Seems too good to be true, however amazon warranty is awesome, I've never had any issues with bad sellers when ordering through them
Link?

Rooting and flashing roms can be done easily on the i9500 as well.. I have Omega rom (pre-rooted) and a custom kernel on my i9500.
It's just AOSP roms that aren't available yet, but should be soon enough.
So, if you're into flashing AOSP roms and cannot wait for them to be available, or if you really need 4G, get the i9505.
If you like taking picture (or slow motion videos - 720p on the i9500) or want a slightly faster phone, get the i9500.

In that case, you're probably right.
It does seem to be too good to be true but then again like you said Amazon is pretty. Personally I think it should be legit and you should go for it.
a question i never find my phoen anywhere like cyanogenmod.org i only see galaxy s4 at&t and stuff i can't find i9500 or anything
whats my phone?!
I love AOSP roms like PA and Cyanogenmod . I hate touchwiz So I was very disappointed when I didn't find any roms AOSP for my galaxy s4 I9500 . I've noticed that the i9505 version is already enjoying the vanilla . So why is this ? I though the international version is the most important version just like the galaxy s3 i9300.
Can someone give more detail on this issue?

CM devs said it's a no go for the exynos chip which is in OCTA core i9500. The snapdragon i9505 will have official CM. I'm sure exynos may just as well.
There will be some one able to do in coming days just have to wait
I've saw this article http://androidfannetwork.com/2013/0...laxy-s4-i9500-is-not-getting-custom-rom-love/
According to the article it's very unlikely we gonna see AOSP roms for i9500 because Samsung will never release the octa 5 sources for the developers.
After reading about it I guess I'll sell my s4 i9500 for the i9505 ....

we recommend since more than over a year to not buy exynos powered phones if you want to run aosp based roms.

You obviously didn't notice that the article links to files from XDA. This is a ported ROM. The Google Edition is the GT-I9505, not the 9500. Samsung will likely never release properly functioning userspace drivers, etc. for the Exynos, so anything that CM devs do to get things working will be, at best, polishing the turd that Samsung leaves the AOSP community.
I am interested in knowing what people are running for roms on their S4's (i337m) in Canada and perhaps what they have found works well and what doesn't work so well. Also If you have had to do any special in order to get a particular rom working well I would like to know that.
Running vision x v1.4.
As long as you flash the proper kernel your fine on this rom...zero issues. Its fast and has terrific battery life. Its also themed lightly and looks way better than stock.excellent support from the dev as well.
All I did was change my build prop from i337 back to i337m so I can use mobile odin if I need to.

Running wanamlite 1.4 with Adam kernel and 3minit framework from the I9505 section. Runs great.... a little too good... miss flashing new ROMS lol

Hello guys! We are back with a ROM review for the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
In this video, we'll be reviewing the AOKP on the S3 (internation edition).
If you have any questions, leave them down below
Thanks man, I'm enjoying this ROM

So I've tried to make some sense of it all there are so many variants of S4 out there .I have recently started the hunt for a S4 and I'm looking for one with the unlocked bootloader and trouble free rooting. Which one would that be ?
I9505 you'd need it to be on a 4.2.2 firmware like MGA anything pre KNOX. Also we can flash GE roms so KitKat soon too.

Official MIUI will be available for GT-I9500 soon.
What's MIUI? Imo you should buy the I9505. More rom development for that. But I9500 has better camera slightly and sound and the 8 cores, but no LTE/4G. I have this variant but in my honest opinion I'd say get the I9505.

I9505 I'd say too. More support, roms and you can always flash google edition rom! Plus it has 4g and openGL ES3.0 support on Android 4.3!
