[Q] Where to find GE ROM?

Hello, I am looking for a Google Edition ROM for my i9505.
I have been using Jamal's 4.3 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272), but when I tried to get the 4.4 OTA, it did not work, as I now know is stated by Jamal in his/her post.
Does anyone know where I can get the completely stock ROM from the i9505G, so that I can get OTA updates, either for 4.3 to update to 4.4, or 4.4 itself?
You won't be able to get official OTA updates with those ports because the i9505G has a different bootloader. You will have To flash updates manually.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

[Q] Can't Find Stock Firmware GTI9500

Hello, im trying to unroot my phone and return it to stock firmware to update it to 4.3, ofc then ill have to root it again, the basic need for me to update is that im trying to install my apps on sd card, which firmware 4.2.2 that i have does not allow. But i cant find my stock firmware on the websites, the version i got is I9500XXUAMDK. Bought my S4 in Saudi arabia, so anyone has a link to that firmware? or should i flash an updated firmware directly? im trying to unroot guide over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 so what exactly should i do? e.e
Note: does the 4.2.3 update have options to install to SD? if it does i pretty much prefer it to 4.3 since i hear it has some problems.
HERE we go. You only have to flash this firmware for unroot it if this is the correct firmware for ur phone
thanks! But a question arises xD is this 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 or 4.3?

[Q][REQUEST]

I have a rooted D802 international with TWRP custom recovery. Today the phone offered mi to upgrade to 20b, I guess it is finally a 4.4.2 ROM. But because of TWRP I know I can't upgrade with OTA. And also there is no support for a custom recover in a LG2 4.4.2 ROM kernel. So my question is and I guess it is also a request: do I have to wait for someone to release a patched stock 4.4.2 ROM for my phone? Or is there any way to do it by myself? I wouldn't like to use CM or similar, I like LG stock ROM. I hope someone is already working on it.
PS: Could someone please edit a caption of the thread to "[Q][REQUEST] Got an offer from my phone for a 4.4.2 upgrade". I forgot to finish it.
I think I found an answer to my question, but have another one. I found this two KitKat ROMs:
Stock KitKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866
LG G Pro 2 ported ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680745
What is the difference between them?

Questing about downgrading Kitkat 4.4.2 to JellyBean 4.3

Hi everyone,
I have a Galaxy S4 that is a Canadian version (SGH-i337m).
It is currently running Android Kitkat 4.4.2 (Latest Update) - Stock Android.
As I do not like it, has so many buys and seems a battery killer, I was wondering am I able to downgrade to JellyBean 4.3?
Things you need to know about my device;
It is currently KNOX void 0x1
I have downloaded an official Android JellyBean 4.3 that is the stock to this phone
Is it possible to downgrade at this point? I do not want to install a cusom rom, I want to install the official JellyBean 4.3 that I have
If it is possible, can someone please tell me how?
Thank you
No its not possible, you'll brick ur phone
