I have installed the rom from this link and works great.
[ROM][JB4.2.2] Galaxy S4 Google Edition v5 [14/07][I9505GUEUAMFD]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340783&highlight=firmware&page=81
But the phone does feel a little slower then before (this is my first custom rom & first time on android from iphone!)
I have seen people mention 'Faux v7 kernal'? Installing that to make the i9505 faster with this rom... Where can I get this kernal and do I just flash it on the same as I installed the rom?
Thankou

Read up a little on it before you flash but the procedure is:
Flash in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot
For Google edition roms use the Touchwiz version

Hello, i`m using I9505 and tried to find thread about " what is the current best Rom " from I9505
now i`m using WanamLite Rom , because i was looking for "Clean " stock version,
but now i really asking what is the best ROM...
give 3-4 options pls.
I use wanamlite too. For a rom similar at google edition, you can use FoxHound, or a google edition rom! Cyanogen isn't stable in this moment.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
Hello,
I've just used the CF Auto kit for root on a GT-I9505 running Android 4.2.2.
I'm about to use Philz Touch 5.11.2-I9505 CWM for the backup and want to install LiquidSmooth (Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-jfltexx.zip).
My question is, what version of the ChronicKernel do I need?
According to the CK thread:
AOSP-JB4.3 = CM-10.2 etc, AOSP-JB4.2 = CM-10.1 etc, TW-JB4.2 = Android 4.2 TW based ROMs, TW-JB4.3: Android 4.3/Google Edition based ROMs
I'm confused what the equivalent kernel to LiquidSmooth 2.9 is. This is my first install.
On a S4 Galaxy Build No. JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDE
Installed Philz CWM & performed a backup no worries.
LiquidSmooth went on without problems. I still want to put something like ChronicKernel on but which variant?

Great choice! LS 2.9 is based on Android 4.3 and its built on AOSP, so you would want to be looking at chronic kernel that is on 4.3 and aosp based
Hi guys,
I just bought a Galaxy S4 I9505. It was on 4.2.2 and I just flashed it to KitKat 4.4 (I9505XXUFNB9). But I just found out the Miui v5 ROM (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657322) and I loved their theme (I would like to install iOS 7 theme).
Can I flash this ROM even if this MIUI version is based on Android 4.2.2 ? I heared that installing a ROM that doesn't support Knox while you were on a ROM that supported it is not so good for our Galaxy S4... So I prefer to ask, just in case.
Thanks !
You cant flash a 4.2.2 rom on 4.4.2......you had your answere with you no need was there to ask
Hello all,
I have a i9505 and, currently I am on stock 4.4.2, with XXUGNG8 baseband. The phone is from Romania, but I live in Greece.
I am to choose from the following ROMS:
Resurrection Lollipop v5.4.0
Omega 41
GOLDENEYE v51
ECHOE v47
Imperium LL v3.1
Eudemony
Currently the most used kernels are AEL, imperium, stock.
I like having a custom kernel (as I used, in my old Galaxy S1). Which of the two(AEL vs imperium) is better?
Also are there any reported issues with 4G while using a custom kernel or 4G has to do with baseband?
Thank you

No rom is better. It's a personal choice. So just try it out.

Seems like you prefer touchwiz roms.
Depends on what you want. I haven't used any of those roms. RR seems to be the most customizable. Echoe was also very popular.

He did reviews on most of the roms here on xda. He is also from Romania. So you can ask him if you have any questions.
If you have issues with 4G then you will probably have to flash the modem. That generally fixes it.
To sum up the process:
I use Odin to flash TWRP, and from TWRP I install the rom's ZIP?
Or should i flash something else instead? Now I am on stock 4.4.2

That's exact the right way. Choose the latest twrp and flash any custom ROM. No matter if it is 442 or 5.0.1 or whatever. It could be possible that you will lose mobile data and/or wifi. In that case update your modem to a version that matches with your ROM.
Here's a guide how to update modems with odin.

NOTE: if you flash twrp or another recovery, your knox counter will be 0x1. But i think you know that already.[emoji2]

I would recommend that you root first so you can backup your apps and data with titanium backup.
This is not really necessary if you don't care about the apps.
Also, don't forget to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Well, my quesiton is if i need to install a "base stock rom" to install a Custom ROM, i thinking about it because i used to have on my 9500 the lollipop 5.0.1 stock rom, then I install CyanogenMOD and now in About the Phone says "4.4.4" .
I want to know if the differencer between the past stock rom and the new custom rom its a problem or could affect something on the phone or i can just install all the custom roms without a base stock rom, obviously I installed after total wipe, wipe cache, wipe delvik...
You're not very clear on what you're asking. What rom is installed on your phone? What Rom do you want to install?
Are you talking about the firmware before flashing a custom ROM and after
