Has anyone tried flashing a touchwiz rom on the google edition device? I tried searching but didn't find any information on this.
Thanks!
It should work, frankly, I would like to know also, I could include it in my guide.
Are you guys rooted yet?

I was wondering what Roms I can use with the Japanese Galaxy S4. I found a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282681 that give instructions on how to Root and even lists a few Roms but all the Roms say they are for AT&T/Canada.
Am I able to use any AT&T/Canada Rom? Do I need to use the AT&T or the Canada version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, really want to use a custom Rom.
Thank you for your time and help.

hi everybody -
i am new to the forum and i would like to know if it is possible to actually put bloatware on a google edition phone. i know this sounds weird but here's the story. i thought i was being a cool boyfriend by buying a google edition s4 for my wife instead of the regular at&t samsung s4 from their site because there would be no bloatware on the google edition. After my wife (who has been used to using the bloatware off s3 and loving some of those things) played with the google edition and absolutely hated that it didn't have any of the samsung features from an actual samsung phone bought from at&t. What i'm wondering is, is there a way to actually put all that bloatware onto a google edition s4 somehow? so that way, the phone will perform and have all the apps and features of an original samsung s4? does it need to be rooted, etc.? any tips and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

The short answer is no, it's not possible. But you could always sell it on ebay and buy a GT-i9500 or GT-i9505 instead to stay off contract, or buy the AT&T phone.
Theoretically, it's possible. Not by direct flashing I9505 firmware. But some cleaned one should be fine because I9505G has less space in system partition.
I'm not sure if partition layouts between I9505G and I9505 are the same (except sizes). If yes, then you can flash CWM/TWRP and then install any custom I9505 TW ROM. If partition layouts are different, then some work will be required.
You need to monitor threads about flashing GE ROMs to normal I9505 device and see what's the difference.
Or find playstore alternatives for the bloat she liked and install those.
I have an I337M and have flashed many
different ROMs on my phone from other
S4 variants, but was wondering if I can
Flash a Google Play Edition S4 ROM?
I want to make my own personal build
Using the GPE firmware but don't know
If the mount points are the same.
I'm not near a computer otherwise I'd
check myself, just wondering if anyone
could fill me in quickly.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
I'm sorry to have to ask a question such as this but I would like more roms to choose from and it seems like international at&t forums have a lot more options. I don't know when to install googlies xstra small patch or an auto port patch. I know how to flash through ss3.72 and am running a stock NC5 rooted deoxed rom right now. I was happy to have hyperdrive but now I just want to toy around with other roms and I think there is something to this auto port/international stuff.... thanks for your time, I'm new and have googled a lot, just no conclusive answers how to run at&t based roms on my sch-i545 verizon galaxy s4.
Hey Guys,
I have a galaxy s5 from att that I just got rooted. Now I'm looking into a custom rom and wanted to know if there are roms available and why I would want to install one on my phone. I have looked but can't seem to find information about roms with my particular s5.
TIA,
Ren
