I believe so because 9505 and 1337 have the same hardware configuration. I think you just need to make sure you have the right kernel/modem for your carrier... haven't done it yet though...

The Omega roms are EXCELLENT, there are two versions of it one for the i9500 series
and the other for the i9505. If you have a i9505 phone do not try flashing the i9500 rom
or you will get a soft brick or worst and if your phone is a i9500 do not flash i9505 roms.
Touchwiz 4.3 roms are still very experimental and you will have many issues with it if you flash it.
You will end up flashing a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom rom.
But it's up to you.
If you don't mind having issues with the phone and if you like experimenting that's a different story.
All in all the Omega 4.2.2 based Jellybean rom is what I would prefer, everything in it works great
and is flawless. It has all the bells and whistles which make the galaxy s4 such a great phone.
Here is the link for the Omega v12 custom rom for the i9505 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
And here is the link for the Omega v14.1 custom rom for the i9500 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887
Be sure to flash the right one for your phone & before flashing make a nandroid backup & be sure to do a full wipe before flashing.
Good luck!

I am just guessing since you posted in the i337 section this is what you have. Plus if you wait a bit I read VisionX (Ax) is gonna put out a 4.3 rom today for the i337.
EDITED to remove my brainfart...

If you have a i747 you are in the wrong forum for downloading roms.
None of the Samsung Galaxy S4 roms will work with a Samsung i747 phone.
The i747 phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which means that none of the roms
found in any of the Samsung Galaxy S4 forums or threads would be compatible with it.
So in other words my original post has nothing to do with a Galaxy S3 i747 phone.
The i9500 and or the i9505 roms will work with your i747 phone.
All questions regarding Galaxy S3 i747 belong in the Galaxy S3 forums and threads.
Good luck!
Sorry I knew what I was saying and MEANT i337. I was just in the i747 thread and must have had my old S3 on my brain... Old Mans brainfart.
So to reiterate if you have a i337/m do NOT flash the international i9500 as it will probabky brick your device. You shoukd be able to flash the i9505 international though. Or like I was trying to say Ax from the i337 forum is going to be posting a 4.3 international i9505 based rom today. Sorry for the mixup from above but it still stands... DO NOT flash the exyernos model i9500 firmware... period. You may be okay with i9505
I edited the above comments so it doesnt give out wrong info to future readers. I replaced my brain farted i747 comments baxk to where my brain should have been thinking to i337

So to be very clear. As a user stuck with mf3, root obtained, and running safestrap I can use the new i9505 based 4.3 tw rom axman is about to release? The fact that its based on the mj5 only denotes that it is for the i9505 correct?

My friend has a galaxy s4 i9505 that he bought from the google playstore. He tried flashing a couple of i9505 roms, is that possible?
can i9505g flash i9505 roms?
if not which roms are stable atm for 9505g?
thank you

No you cant because these 2 variants have different bootladers, As it Sounds you have the i9505g so I would either stay stock or try something like CM10.2.

I have the same phone and I agree with thekaykev. The I9505G has an unlocked bootloader, and I would stay away from any rom that may have KNOX included.
Just wondering about the safety of installing roms made for the i337 on the i337m or i9505. I recall reading a big thread on XDA talking about this earlier. Thanks.
I've got the i337m and I've never had a issue. On a i9505g Rom now. You can flash anything to anything as long as bootloader isn't locked

Hi friends: as you know a 4.4.2 leak for SGH-I337 is on XDA, thanks to designgears. Actually, there is a .tar version, odin flashable. Can anyone tell me if this is compatible with unlocked canadian I337M and can be safely flashed?

The leak won't work for you because it's a full ODIN package. It's signed for I337 and not the I337M, and is not in a flashable zip form. Even if you could use it, you'd have a locked bootloader afterwards and never have recovery again. You'll have to use some other 4.4.2 ROM, maybe check the i9505 development section for a recovery flashable one.

Thx so much. It's clearer now for me; it is indeed a tar file signed for I337 I was wrongly thinking that since I337M and I337 both share the same hardware rom compatibility might be possible, but I guess the AT&T factor plays the game otherwise. I'll check what's cooking in i9505 thread.
So, If I understand you correctly, an i9505 flashable zip, like wamalite for example, would work for i337m, is that so?

Yes. Any ROM in a flashable zip for any variant of the S4 except the i9500 (exynos model) will work on your device. I9505 are the easiest to get working, some other variant ROMs may need tweaking to work well. There's a thread about running other carrier ROMs in the general section.

last, would there be any knox issues if I flashed I9505 roms or do I have to simply remove knox? I also read that someone who flashed I9505 rom onto his I337m tulred his device to I9505 as well; is that "normal"

I don't know much about how knox affects custom recovery or if you can flash without tripping it. I know for sure it won't stop anything but would just simply void warranty. If you flash an I9505 ROM then because of the build.prop it will tell you it's an I9505, but it's still an I337M, you can't like use the i9505 ODIN files or anything just because you have an i9505 rom.

you've been extremely helpfull, thx a lot bro.
I've been trying to get either carbon Kitkat or aosb 1.2.7 on my i337, but when I try to flash the rom in twrp 2.6.3.1 it keeps giving me an error saying that the rom is only for jflte, jfltexx, i9505, gt-i9505. I don't know how to remedy this problem, am I stuck out?
So I want to install the imperium v.7 rom on my galaxy s4, but there's a few modem files to download, how do I know which one use for my galaxy s4 i337m or i9505?

Hi well..im from Mexico, and my model is the i337m here on Mexico
Can anyone please tell me the best ROM to use to get as close to the Lollipop UI and features. I am using the Galaxy S4 I337 AT&T with safestrap. Most ROMS that I have tried will not work or wont boot up. Is there any Lollipop ROM's for the 9505 that will work, cause I know that some roms will work for the I337. Thanks averyone!

No lollipop will work until it's released officially for the ATT S4. Then safestrap will needed updated to work. Then you'll have a custom ROM with lollipop.

What about a port from the 9505? I know I cannot get the official Lollipop, but something that looks similar.

So far the closest thing I can find to Lollipop is Goldfinger 9.0. It is a pretty nice ROM and WiFi works as well!
