Do you think Google GS4 will be able of running a Touchwiz ROM?

I'm sure it's the exact same hardware just with stock google software.
Gutted, wish I'd waited now.

Why? It will have nothing on it you won't be able to get off this very forum for the I9505/I9500 eventually.

Well for obvious reasons. The stock android will run 100% perfectly out of the box and receive updates (android 4.3 for example), first before anything else.

Well if the hardware is the same but with stock android, you can bet roms from the Google Edition will find their way to the current version (i9505 most likely, but who knows, maybe it's octa this time around) as well and will work just as fine.
It's actually good news for those with the same version of the hardware.

[Q] Are there any stock Android roms for S4?

I have been very confused trying to find an AOSP rom for my S4. I am not a fan of touchwiz, I prefer Google's experience. But I can't make heads or tails of the available roms for this device. Are any of them similar to what I would get with Cyanogenmod?

I believe you should be looking in Original Android Development

I would like to try sense 5 on on s4

They are in Android development and Original development. Since this is a question this post should be I. The Q and A section also.

Here's a list of every rom available for the Sprint GS4, and specifically a list of every AOSP rom. There are a ton of them for our phone - almost triple the TW roms.

Also the possibility of Sense 5 being ported to our device is very very slim.

It's actually very very probable if you have the right person doing it, as the One has the exact same processor as the S4 (APQ8064T)
And Sense 5 was ported to the S3, which has a similar, but not exactly the same, processor.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Haha well I didn't say it was improbable but that the possibility of it being it ported was slim. In the sense(no pun lol) that the chances of a fully functional port of it being ported are slim not that it is technically incapable of being done by some super dev ;P
My point was more so that I haven't seen anyone even mention of working on it for the S4 and that the S3 port is still in very early stages of development so I don't see it coming anytime soon especially if you are working on the S3 version at the moment! Though not saying you won't be able to get it on the S4 haha!

Is there an official cyanogenmod for i9500

I jumped over to get.cm and i couldn't find cyanogenmod for my device.
Can someone please tell me the codename i need to look for?

Unfortunately there is no official cm for i9500
Of course, there is this, but I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for a daily driver.

your device is exynos based, and thus closed source
you will not ever ever find an official release for this device (unless by some magic samsung releases the code)

Really?
Is this the only galaxy device that is closed source or there are others like the gs 4 which samsung didnt released the code for them?

There is development of CM by official CM programmers on CM for the i9500
The code is in a rough state now as development recently started.
Please see the below link for updates...

Please wait a little...

Won't be official for a while, but here's unofficial with just about everything working except camera. Its still alpha tho so still has some bugs

They were able to utiliz the the octa core cpu as intended by samsung? Pretty groundbreaking if so.
I was under the impression that the cm for 9500 was using very generic drivers for the cpu
Thus making it very poorly optimized
But yeah it boots just fine

Duh, it is only the 2nd alpha, hence I mentioned it in my post... It will be a couple weeks before everything gets ironed out but considering the first CM was released on Monday and the only major glitch 4 days later is the cam I'd say they did a pretty good job...
But don't take my word for it. Good look at the bench marks.....

The funny part was you thinking an incomplete rom without camera blows TW out the water.
It's a ridiculous statement.
It's just like me saying my porshe without engine is better than your working Volvo.
I just said it was funny. No need to get defensive

Not all i9505 owners boast about having better open source support etc. I for one am still running stock firmware and I'm happy enough, and will remain so until 4.3 is released. I don't think it is necessary to split the camp between i9500 and i9505, and certainly no need to have childish squabbles.

I think i9500 still wasn't given a codename because there isn't even a cyanogenmod nightly for it. When it happens, it will be given a codename.

Active G2 Development?

How long do you think it will be until there are ROMs for the LG G2 on Verizon and the other carriers?
It is a little disheartening that there is hardly anything going on with this phone. One would think that the fastest smartphone in the world would get more attention than this.
Anyway, I am going to root tonight so that'll do for now. I'm really looking forward to AOSP and Cyanogenmod for the G2.
This is the best phone by far that I have ever owned! I've had all the latest and greatest since Android came out. LG really did a great job with the user interface too. I couldn't be happier!

Man, you gotta chill out. The phones been out a week. Were lucky to even have root! With locked bootloaders, its going to take some time before anything happens, IF anything happens with it at all. The proper people are working on the issue.
Breath.
Relax.
Drink a beer.
Given time, roms will come. Use and abuse your phone until that point.

If you really think the interface is great and couldn't be happier, why the rush on new roms? I'm rather content at the moment, myself, but that might change when LG starts lagging with their android updates.

I agree, I'm pretty cool with the phone for now. But if you're impatient like myself, go ahead and root and remove bloatware, and see how close you can come to stock through that. I was able to get 50+ hours of battery time on my LG G2 ending today through a bunch of tweaks, so that was exciting! :good: :laugh:

Guys, please take this to the general or Q&A section, you are making me excited about someone releasing something and it is just this chatter, it looks like someone has posted when I come here and I see this conversation, OP, please a ask mod to move your lively thread, Thanks.

Are you able to remove the quick toggles in the status bar through "bloatware removal"? I know a lot of the status bar stuff is part of system, but was thinking maybe removing a few .apk's will get rid of some of it.

The bootloader doesn't necessarily have to be unlocked to flash custom roms just FYI...

Exactly. If people would stop bashing other phones and actually read development on other devices, it'd be a better understanding of what's going on or has already been going on.

Right, like they have a workarounds for the s4 using bootstrap right? People have been flashing custom roms (just not on MF3, from what I know) So since this has root, will we be able to flash by the same method once it and a few roms are available? I mean the phones awesome now and I'm in no rush but it'd b nice to know

Yeah and before that we had Loki and the boot loader wasn't and still isn't unlocked. It'll probably be a similar exploit but idk. I just know it's possible from having an S4 and I had a G Pro too

I don't think roms for Android L are out yet as Google won't be officially releasing it until next month. Then give or take a week or 3 for the devs to get their hands on it and play around with the source code to make some roms.

Lots of development is on the bootloader for this phone. A port of L should come when the international S4 gets it.
