Now that the official updates for the Google Edition 4.3 have been released, do any of the ROMs have 4.0 support? I can't seem to find an answer on this in any of the ROM threads.

I have two friends with their devices on 4.3 - one of them has had no issues with 4.0 being supported at all. The other runs into small issues here and there but overall is successful. Don't know what would cause this but that's what we've noticed.
Hope this helps.

This phone has been on the market for some time now and there are almost no custom Roms for this phone. There are certainly no Froyo roms. Is there a problem with development? Did samsung release all the drivers needed?
there are in fact many custom ROMs already.
but the guys making the custom ROMs are waiting for Froyo to be released, before they go crazy on it (same here)
Samsung is releasing Froyo sometimes in September, just in time for back to school
for the time being i'm mostly evaluating all the softwares i wat to include into my own custom ROM once froyo has been released, and also building a list of build in apps that i don't use and want to remove
you can install any of the many available custom ROMs already from the DEV section just search for [ROM]
Samsung have released the source code, but reportedly the drivers are encrypted. This means all custom roms for the near future will need to be based off the official (and leaked) Samsung releases with just optimisations (eg: MoDaCo R3) or theming (eg: SamSet 1.6), but no ports or AOSP until the drivers can be recovered.
However, work has started on Cyanogen 6.0 for Galaxy S. They are stil very much in the initial stages however.
Official Froyo is due sometime in August (Korean release), so it's easiest to just wait for that and then go from there. However, we may get some leaks early if the stream of beta firmwares (still 2.1) is anything to go by.
Actually i'm quite sure Paul said that next MoDaCo release won't be based on an official samsung firmware, so I think it's just a matter of time and many ROMs will appear.

Will all of the custom ROMs in this forum work with the new OTA update? Or will we need to wait for the ROMs to be updated for 4.1.2 before flashing?

my understanding is that the custom ROMs would be replacements - not necessarily additions to a certain ROM. that being said, I think there is a new kernel update (reason for the improved WiFi connectivity), so there could be problems if you flash an older custom ROM over the new update.
I'm hoping that some of the developers will be issuing an update to their ROMs - but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm in no rush though, no sense in turning a gourmet chef into a short order cook.
Is it at all possible to just update the bluetooth stack from the new 4.3 release to a 4.2 rom? I don't want to give up pacman rom (or illusion) but it might be awhile before they move over to 4.3. AVRCP 1.3 is the main feature I want from 4.3. Is there any way to go about this?

I was searching some time ago and I didn't find anything.. the PA team said they may have merged android 4.3 today in his ROM..
Cross-posting here hoping this is a more appropriate place to ask the questions.

Now that both Android 4.3 has been released as an OTA update and official Kernel have been posted by Samsung, I am thinking about turning my T-Mobile S4 into the 9505G (until T-Mobile releases the firmware update). I have a few questions:
- Is it safe to install the stock 9505G ROM on the M919? Do I have to worry about basebands/modems? What about the kernel? Will the new stock kernel work?
- Where do I find the latest and purest GPE 4.3 ROM? Most stock-based ROMs here are either old (not the latest) or have been modified in one way or another? Is there a link to the source?
Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get any type of answer to this question? I am looking for the same thing. I am running a Google Edition ROM but it has a lot of tweaks that I'd rather not have. I want the closest possible thing to what you buy off the Play store.

I am currently using this (v1.2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352258
Aside from a few removed apps, it's probably very close to the stock ROM. I've also odexed the ROM. Great ROM overall.
There is also this ROM, which seems to be close to the stock:

Has anyone managed to get ANT+ working on the Galaxy S4 running a custom rom (I am using CM 10.2)? Samsung have added support in their 4.3 update, but I have not found any custom ROM which has implemented this support.
Hopefully it would be a case of extracting the relevant parts of the official 4.3 firmware and building a patch?

Running PA current version. But ANT+ does not work. Do one of you guys have more information on that?
So none of custom ROMs support Ant+?
