Hi Guys,
Can you help me to decide whether to install Stock Android or Google Play Edition V2.1
I want my android version to be original as possible and to receive ATO updates as fast as possible
So 2 questions:
Is it a good idea to have the original stock version on the S4? Or better the Google Play Edition?
And at which one do I get the fastest ATO updates.
Thanks you already for your response. :good:
Greatz

I have the same question. Obviously you can find custom roms etc.. but I would like to convert my i9505 to an i9505G so I can benefit from Google OTA updates too and have a "clean" ROM from Google with pushed updates etc...
Thanks

+1 here too. I really love to have this too. I know there are custom roms out. But having OTA is much more important for me.
Anyone here who can explain how we can get official GE 4.3 on our S4 4.2.2 GT-i9505 ?

I'm open to correction on this but any 'Play Edition' ROMs at present are custom roms, and will not be set up for OTA.
Whether someone can get this functionality in place... I don't know. That's for a better dev than I.

Its not currently possible, due to different bootloader and partition sizes between i9505 and i9505G. I'm personally looking forward to using the modaco switch feature to switch between google edition and touchwiz rom. There is arguably a lot of Samsung bloatware on the S4, but also a lot of useful features. I feel the Samsung camera takes better photos than the GE/CM camera (felt the same about the camera on my HTC Sensation). The devs working on the S4 do a fantastic job, there isn't really much of a delay between a new release and a ROM being updated or made available when a new version is released.

Ideally I would have liked to flash the low level firmware so the HW is seen as exactly the same as the I9505G one so we could have a Google Edition on the I9505. But I understand that as the HW is not exactly the same this would mean to have a kind of middleware that would make a I9505 look like the I9505G from a HW perspective.
The other solution is to be patient and get the 4.3 OTA from Samsung that we are all waiting for. I understood that this could be released next month together with the new Note 3. I need the Bluetooth Low Energy feature from 4.3 on my I9505.
merci
Does anyone know if there is a Wallet fix for GE 4.2.2 MF9? I believe there is a newer release of Google edition with a wallet fix but I like the setup that I have and don't want to go though the trouble of re flashing and then setting up everything again. Thanks!
