[Q] S4 i9500 Google Play edition ROM - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day guys, I really hope someone can help me!
I want to know if this S4 Google Play edition ROM that I got from this site will work on the S4 i9500.
What can happen if it doesn't work? Can I brick the device completely?

Yes, quite simply you shouldn't fllash anything that's not specifically made for i9500.

you say yes, but yes for what? Yes it will work or yes I will brick my phone?

Don't do it. Won't work.

Don't flash it, because it's from a diferent version of S4 ...

Thank you for the replies!
Can someone please give me a link of a standard JellyBean ROM that I can use on my i9500. I just want the Samsung stuff off! JB 4.3 would be great... else 4.2.2 is good?

Ok I am clueless here... Can someone please explain to me what I can and can not do with my S4 i9500? This might sound stupid, but I think I have the wrong idea about how this works.
I rooted the device and I have CWM installed.
I want something that looks like "stock" Android - Google Play edition etc and not the Samsung looking stuff. How do I do this? Or what am I missing?
Please explain if you don't mind!

Make sure you check the bugs before flashing though.

That is meant for the i9505 and you have an i9500. Just like how 2013 Honda Accord window panels won't work in a 2001 Honda Accord

How Can I Get Google Edition Rom On My S4 i9500? Plz Help Me ?

All i know the official S4 Google Play Edition's ROM is for S4 i9505, it means different chipset (it uses qualcomm) than S4 i9500 (exynos).
I had i9500 too and i wish i can change it to google play edition...

[??]ColorOS for I9500 how to port to I9505 / I337(m)

Hey guys, not entirely sure where to port this but here goes.
I was watching the product launch of the oppo N1 and noticed their ColorOS looked like something fun to try out.
Did some poking around on their website
ColorOS forum without translate
Person taking credit for it on XDA with their own forum when it is actually provided by OPPO : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455932 (side note original link is an ODIN file and this guy did make a flashable zip so he should get some credit
Anyways I was wondering how tough it would be to port it over to our devices aka I9505/I337(m)
Anyone have any tips, maybe suggestions on where to place this thread for better reception?
Thanks!
YOU RIGHT!!

I've tried to port it a few times, i'm having trouble finding a good base rom so i don't think i'll be able to make it happen myself
damn!
I saw that this rom is based on the MIUI, right?!
now, if the difference between the i9500 and the i9505 is only the processor why don't you take the Prism ColorOS ROM v5, and put this kernel download646. mediafire. com/akz46i2vruzg/gy4tnpf6d064f8v/MIUI-Abyss-GT-I9505-1.6.1FSam.zip into it?! I haved this problem when I installed the MIUI ported for the i9500 that doesn't work on my i9505... maybe this is a good strating point! @AL_IRAQI PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING! PLEASE! :crying:

Hi Al!
Please give me an aswer! A port of your great ROM for i9500 shouldn't be so difficult: it's just a kernel matter isn't it? can you do something for us?! please answer me!
thank you so much and sorry for spamming.. that's from me.
this is the answer:
Hi buddy
No.
You need to patch Samsung Rom for i9505 again
Or maybe port HTC One Rom
I can't do anything for i9505
I'm sorry buddy
maybe for all of you guys that can help... unfortunally I'm not able to do such great things from my PC...

I had thought this as well but previously on Prism v1 i had asked him which base to use and got the following answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47428345&postcount=163 So i've been trying to do that. The big problem is the kernel and not having the right system links in to the rom. It's not quite as simple as flashing the rom and then putting a new kernel in because of all the back end stuff unfortunately.

I had actually ended up PM'ing him for a while trying to figure it out after i settled the base issue it turned into a kernel issue then a system link issue and then i just gave up.
Might take another swing at it over the weekend if i h ave some free time, we'll see.
