Hi Guys,
I want to put google play edition on my phone but having just tried, i've had a nightmare! After applying the phone showed the very brief Samsung logo and then the screen goes black. I managed to fight my way through ODIN to get the phone re-rooted, then managed to force on PhilzCWM and finally get it back to a Wanam ROM. All very painful.
Any ideas why the Play Edition won't work for me?
Model - GT-I9500
Android - 4.2.2
Baseband - i9500ubumh1
Kernal - 3.4.5-Adam-2.0
Bare in mind that some of these values have changed to this since I updated to Wanam. Should I now be OK to use the Google Play Edition?
Thanks!!!
The Google Play Edition is titled:

Yeap that worked fine... looking at 4 coloured circles doing little loops and spins now. Nice.
Is it really a conversion to the google edition?.. Or just another ported rom?
To be honest, I'd be worried installing a rom with so little information provided as to what it is exactly.

The real deal but....
the setup wizard crashes and shortly after a few installs the Android OS then starts crashing, constantly complaining about GSFlogin failing and then all the subsequent uses of Googles apps start crashing. Very disappointing.

Ahh that may have been my fault. I installed the Google Apps package. Reflashed without it and it now seems to be fine.
The link they have posted for i9500, is not of Google Play edition ROM, its AOSP port for i9500 by @doga.ozkaraca
Here is the original thread, go seek some help there.

So I just bought a regular SIM-free Galaxy S4.
I remember hearing earlier in the year at Google I/O there was a Google Edition (Nexus Experience) Android coming to Galaxy S4.
Is it possible to take a regular Galaxy S4 and put Google Edition (Nexus Experience) Android on it?
Is there a legitimate way to do this (without root)?
If not what's the best way to go about it?
Will that work for a UK version of the phone?
Once it's installed will it then update automatically when the newer Google Edition Android becomes available via Google?
Thanks in advance,

In order to do any of those things you want to do the phone MUST be rooted.
Once it is rooted you can flash the google edition roms found here in xda for
your phone.
Once you do root the phone you will not longer be able to get automatic updates via google.
You will need to download the updated/newer rom here in xda and flash it using twrp or cwm.
Good luck!

Interesting does that mean that the Google Edition S4 that you could get from the Google Play store could automatically update, but the rooted ones cannot?

That link is NOT the google playstore which you were refering to.
The link is an advertisement for the phone itself.
And the only way the phone will get auto updates (OTA) is if you do NOT root
the phone and or flash any of the custom roms found here in these threads.
So in other words if you want to flash roms which you see here in xda you need to
be rooted and there will be no auto updates.
No idea what's in it (still 4.4.2), but the kernel build is September 3.
ChromeCast Issue Update - FIXED!
Holy crap, Samsung and Google seem to have fi-friggin-nally fixed the Chromecast SystemUI crash with this update! :good:
Just updated the 103 Mb package and did some testing using Chromecast with Google Play Music, YouTube and some other apps - no SystemUI crash despite trying hard!
To anyone that had the SystemUI crash with Chromecast after 4.4.2 update - definitely recommend trying this update out.
That was the issue? I never made the connection between using Chromecast and the system.android.ui error loop I kept getting. Thank goodness that has been fixed!
I just updated this morning, but haven't had reason or need to check. Thanks Samsung!

Hi buhohitr,
You've probably seen this already, but NI1 is out on SamMobile. You can get it there and flash with Odin.

I received the download, but haven't loaded it yet (for the US variant).
Where does the update save to on our device? I'm rooted and using twrp, but with the Wanam fake system status hack so I was able to download the update, but I don't know how to install it.
Guys, I never rooted my tab, so is officially stock Samsung jelly bean 4.3 , myn question is, if I flash this firmware via odin, Knox status will trip to 0x1?

Lockscreen widgets functioning?
Flashed NI1. Lockscreen widgets confirmed. Everything is working as said, no more Chromecast crashing... It's a fantastic rom, finally. And only weeks before L is released. Lol
Might consider selling it and picking up the rumored 9 inch Nexus tablet. Will have to see its specs when it is announced.
Flashed it looks good everything works..but I rooted again and went back to the tab S rom.

How do i get lockscreen widgets functioning? I can't seem to find it in the settings like I could in Roms based on an international firmware.
Flashed NL1
Seems fast everything works. I rooted after and also installed TWRP without issues. Had to run one of the SD fixes to correct SD card issue. But I'm pleased with the speed. Enjoy!
Does anyone have a changelist for this firmware release? I can't find it anywhere.

In settings > security allow installation from unknown sources. Then go to this link and download the latest version of the play store (5.9.11). Open the apk file on your tablet and allow it to install. This is how I always manually keep the play store up to date on all my android devices, because I find sometimes they take to long to push the updated versions automatically.
Also you should consider updating your tablet to lollipop. Lollipop firmware files for all Tab 4 models can be found in this thread, choose any for the SM-T530. This doesn't have anything to do with fixing your original question, just a suggestion
Yes i know i already have 5.9.11 but its still not working
before the update i have root my device i also have try to update it when its unrooted but still not working
help plz

Oh I should've remembered to recommend in settings > application manager > all > google play store, try clearing data and cache for that app.
If that doesn't solve the problem you might have to update google play services, linked to here, just be careful because this one is a little trickier. Go into settings > application manager > all and select google play services. If the version number begins with a 7 (might look something like 7.9.53) you definitely need to update, if it begins with an 8, you probably don't. Assuming you do need to update google play services, you need to look at the last three numbers in the parentheses and match them with the apk file you download. There's a guide on the page I linked to that does a better job of explaining it than me, just read that before you try installing anything.
I have remove the cache and data but still not working, i also cant update play service it says "There was a problem while parsing the package" and the link you give me it says android 5.0+ but im using 4.4.2 KitKat

Yes just click tab button and on the bottom left should be a button for secret mode while the right has button for regular new tab. It's really convenient and useful especially since it has fingerprint lock on it. Love it.

It seems like it's firmware specific issue. Have you tried to update/flash different roms to see if the issue still persists? Maybe the dev disabled too many things and it's causing incompatibilities.

It seems that after the update to internet browser 5.0 (that brought new UI) there is no more private mode.
I think secret mode uses Knox
@waterdaan Perhaps it's something introduced in Internet browser v5, as it worked fine with v4 and I was rooted already.

"no eligible devices for app install"
This is what I get when I try to install "YotaMap for YotaPhone" directly from my laptop's browser. I ended up doing this because these apps don't even show in the play store if I search for them in the phone itself.
I got my Yotaphone 2 yesterday and I was thrilled to see what kind of things I can do with the back display .. but .. why are all the fun apps unavailable to me? Does the location matter?
Do you guys have any idea what can cause this behavior?
PP: this happens not only with the "YotaMap" but with many other Yota apps I was able to find in the play store from the browser.
