Hi guys. I've been looking for an untouched version of 4.3 Google Edition to use on my i9505, but all ROMs available on Android Development have some sort of modification to it. Some are deodexed, others have 3-way reboot, others remove google and samsung stuff. I really wanted a version completely stock, no root, no deodex, nothing...... just pure.
I have no idea how to make my own flashable zip though. If I did I would have done it for myself.
If you guys can teach me or (even better) make one for me, I would be very much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure other people want this too.
Theres one in the AT&T forum already. use that one.

Not really, I assume you had the idea from S3 getting 4.3 instead of 4.2.
S3 skipped 4.2 because 4.3 was already released, and Samsung didn't have time to make both 4.2 and 4.3 roms.
Sorry for the off-topic.

Hello,
I think it will be December......
Personal guess: we will see a leaked ROM around start-mid October.

IMHO if you want to feel how it taste 4.3 go directly to any modding thread and flash one the roms already available (after a nandroid backup), they are performing quite well and can be used as daily driver. Then, if you miss too much TW you can recover your nandroid and wait for Samsung to realese a 4.3 rom.
anyone have any details on what we can expect on the new firmware?

Hi
I'm searching for a stock ROM 4.3 google edition for my Samsung Galaxy S4. If there is a way without root, I'd prefer that one.
The most important thing for me is the possibility to get OTA updates directly from Samsung/Google. So I'd like to turn my stock S4 into a stock Google edition S4. Is there a way?
I already searched for this in various Sub-Forums on this site, but there are so many ROMs and I don't know which is the right one for me?
Thx

With or without root, you can't get official updates if you're on google edition 4.3.

Thank you for the links. The ROM of the first link you posted I'm using for about 2 months, but unfortunatly it does not seem to support ota updates, since I'm still on built number JWR66.S005.130625 and there are newer builts on the internet.
Also the rest of your posted ROMs don't seem to get ota updates directly. The only way to get updates seems to be by installing them manually.
Maybe there is no way (atm) to turn a S4 into a pure stock Google Edition S4.

That's what I ment.
Is there a way to get an "incremental" update for my built number to a more actual version? I don't like it to completly restet the device just for an update...
All the 4.3 GE roms are custom ones and you won't get any OTA. This may change but that's it for now I'm afraid.

Greeting guys,
I'm running a google edition untouched 4.3 rom. Recently I received a notification for 4.4 update but I can't install it.
Is there a way to install it and enjoy the experience of 4.4 as if my phone was a google edition phone?
thanks

would it be possible if you flash the same recovery of the google edition device and unroot your phone?
In other words, is it possible to convert the phone to google edition to receive the update normally?

I just want it to try the stock rom so badly
The guys are hard at work on it in the development section, don't worry!
The ge rom is lovely and I think the wait is well worth it. If it's like the untouched 4.3 ge rom I've been using it will be better than the stock one! Patience is not a virtue of mine to be honest but in this case, on xda, it's a pleasure to wait for such talented and oft under appreciated devs.

Hi, I'm probably being very idiotic atm but I can't think of any logical issues.
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S4 i337.. I downgraded from NB1 to MK2, got root, installed safestrap, and attempted to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
It was my understanding this came with Loki-Doki (saw it floating around in a different thread asking if it worked, can find it if nessecary) as a patch. So I downloaded and backed up my stock install, and attempted to install this.
Now the problem is when I boot, it returns me to a bootloop, if you could call that progress.. It vibrates occasionally while bootlooping (samsung - safeboot - blackscreen - vibrate - samsung....). I still have access to safestrap, download mode and so on, if it helps at all. I've also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 WITH loki-doki (as it is explicitly stated) to no success either..
I'm looking for one of two solutions;
how to get stock firmware back, or how to properly install this? Or any variation thereof. . . I don't know what the problem is ahaha
Bumping to say multiple wipes>reflashes later the blue screen has yet to occur, not sure what that was... Bootlooping is the huge problem now!
You can't use that rom. You need a tw based rom. This one is aosp

Guh. Well ****. They should make that more obvious in the OP.. saw no mention of either of those being an issue..
Any similar roms that still have TouchWiz or should I just roll back to OTA 4.4.2?

So will it ever be possible to flash AOSP ROMs on NB1?
Not until the bootloader is unlocked. There is no telling when that will be.

Best bet is to find a ROM that you like, then install the Google Experience Launcher apk. It will give your phone the stock google launcher.

Domination Theme will also extensively theme your touchwiz rom to give it a more complete AOSP look without an AOSP rom.
All right thanks for the help guys.
I have a Verizon Note 3 running 4.4.2 and I'm trying to root with Kingo. I get through the process up until it checks my root status. It gets past that to 'Downloading requesite dependency files' and it instantly fails and just says Not Support. Any help?
I thought towel root was the only root method working for 4.4.2. Maybe that is why you are having issues

Thank you so much. I was able to root my phone. Lastly, one thing I've always wanted was to remove the Touchwiz and get stock Android. I am currently on 4.4.2 on my Note 3. How do I go about getting a clean version of either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 Android? Thanks again

I'm new to the community. I don't exactly know what that is but if it is how you get Google Play Edition firmwares on your phone, than yes.
easier to do this :

you want a stock firmware file?
here you go ! http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29319
you will have to register for firmwares,,,
unfortunately, touchwiz is the stock app for verizon stock roms... the new launchers for the S5 work on the note.. check that link in the other post
i think what you may be looking for with a rooted note 3 is a deodexed rom.. you can delete system files easily... just use "titanium Backup" its in this rom for the 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 and its easy to do if you follow this method here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
or use clockwork mods equivalent, "trebuchet"

You can't do that. We have a locked bootloader that restricts you to touchwiz roms running on the stock kernel.

in the pic here, all that gobbledeegook speek where your normal "?about phone" should be , tells you this is a vzw note 3, Nc4 stock rooted, ported to T-Mobile Lte , "G" edition (S5 ported) on non-user-ship (non-stock) kernel.
or basically,
using a verizon note 3 as a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S5, with all of its features, save the one~~ it's not waterproof. , which of course , is in that thread i linked
so there's a;lot you can do with your phone, as it may seem too complicated now, you may want to stick to simpler mods that you can download from google play store, like a different boot animation, meaning to say that instead of the huge red logo you see when you initially turn on yo0ur phone, you can change it to supermario running accross the screen, or that green matrix i/o screen. they may have added more by now, its up to you if that is something you may ne interested int there, or at least its a place to start.as you can see, perhaps a more correct assumption would be to say you cant run touchwiz and another launcher, say Google NOW...... at the same time.
Well, this was originally longer but the forum decided to post limit me because I am new. If you want a Google type experience, you might want to try the Google Experience Launcher (can be side loaded, but won't install from play store). I use this with Xgels and am very happy with the results.
