OK, just upgraded my S3 as the i9506 became available in NZ and the snapdragon 800 and CAT4 LTE made me feel it was a worthwhile upgrade.
I have the stock firmware installed (MI6, 4.2.2) but have it rooted.
My question is: Can I assume things that are not for a specific version of the G4 (ie i9500, 9505 etc.) should work OK on the i9506?
For example I want to install the Xposed framework...
Should work do a backup before hand
Sent from my dominationed S4
I can confirm that Xposed installed and works fine in a i9506, I am using Wanams module and have tried most options without error.
Yeah I think you're right. I think a lot should be compatible as long as its not meant to be for the i9505 only, like ROMs or kernels. Same counts for the i9500 or i9502.
Me Gusta!

Hi everybody! I want to change my phone but my operator propose just the galaxy GT 9506. I read on the galaxy s4 thread that it's difficulte to root this and they are no many rom for this version. My question: can i root the galaxy s4 gt 9506 and put a firmwear from galaxy s4 gt 9505. Thank's for read my thread and to give me an answer.:silly:
Yes you can root.
No, you can't put 9505 ROM into it.
But I suspect, some mod from 9505 or 9500 may work on 9506 (same Android version should have greater chance, as we occasionally using note3 mod on our s4, it probably works as long as don't go too deep into system, like kernel things, what I am talking about is more like theme or something ) and the xposed module may work as well.
If you don't wanna AOSP ROM.
Xposed module should fit you.
I've had 9506 and return back to exchange 9505 and now I found I could get what I want on stock firmware with xposed so I'm little bit of regret actually

Most xposed mods work with S4 I9506.

Thank you for the accuracy of your answer. I hesitated between LG g2 and galaxy S4. My preference goes to the S4 because I already had a S2, S3 therefore the logical consequence was the S4. But the proposed operator by my 9506 model slows a little. Your answer made me decide to order S4 and hopefully not regret my choice. thank you

But beside the lack of AOSP ROM (someone is working on porting CM11) and 3rd part kernel, i9506 really outrun the i9505, specially the GPU part...
But anyway, it's kinda over-performance... as we usually don't need that kinda performance, even for Snapdragon 600.
I think, most ROM part of customization can be achieved by Xposed modules, good luck!
I did not need a lot of customization but I just wish rooter my phone and put a samsung official firmwear to delete all apps from my operator. The choice of S4 is really out of loyalty and passion for samsung. I do not really need the full power of the snapdragon 800, 4G as starts in France and yet I did not receive. So your information is extremely useful to me because I know I just choose the S4 9506, the rooter and remove apps operators. thank you
Hello!
As you know samsung currently at least here in America
Samsung sells only the S4 in i9515L version currently containing the same hardware version i9500 differences in kernel and network frequencies.
to try to install a custom rom from the i9500 when I finish the touch does not work just that and the networks do not work, recovery and root function normally using the versions of the i9500.
and seeking out internet have no Custom ROM for our beloved i9515l
Me and the users of i9515l would like to ask our support device that should receive 1 or 2 updates the hands of Samsung and then forgotten.
Sorry my bad Inglish.
Indeed, my girlfriend has one of these and I also searched with no success for ROMs and Kernels.
Since it is a "new" model, the attention and support still very low/poor, lets hope that some dev port the i9500 ROMs and Kernels to it.
hey im from turkey my friend has a s4. he used nonlte versions on his phone. i have s3 and i use intl version. s4 got a update (cm13) but its intl. would it cause a problem ? if he installs intl version?

All the best
Thanks for using XDA Assist.

i should open a new thread or smht?
What model is the s4? There are models that use Qualcomm and Samsung processors and the ROMs are specific to each processor.

I don't see an official CM13 for the i9500 that supports LTE.
According to the specs, the phone cannot support LTE and flashing a ROM won't enable LTE as far as I know: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_galaxy_s4-5125.php

its not lte. i said he was using non-lte.
Sorry for my misunderstanding. When you mentioned that you have the international s3 (there are international versions of the s3 that have LTE: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9305_galaxy_s_iii-5001.php), I thought you were asking about LTE on the s4.
Since the phone is an i9500 and the CM13 is for the i9500, it should be fine to update. If the phone is running CM12.1 or older, a full system wipe before installing CM13 may be necessary.

My question was not answers sufficiently enough last time I asked so I'll ask again. Are the international Galaxy S4 (jfltexx) and i9505 ROMs compatible with the US Cellular Galaxy S4 (jflteusc)(QUALCOMM VARIANT)? If so how would I go about rooting and installing CM12 or CM13 for example? I don't think my bootloader is locked as the Carrier for the phone is US Cellular, I cannot access the testing mode menu because none of the dialer codes work at all, I also tried Nova Launcher for the shortcut to the Testing Menu but in a Toast Notification is says "Permission Denied". I also don't know if my device is the i9500, i9505, or the i9506. the model of the phone is SCH-R970 (US Cellular), I am currently running Stock Android 5.0.1
The SCH-R970 is a I9505.
Your device is a CMDA device. Most I9505 roms should support it, unless specified otherwise.
Hey guys, I have a I337M device running JDC AOSP 6.0.1 and want to give a try on another Android MM Rom but the majority are only for Jfltexx devices. I've seen that they have, almost I think, the sames specs. So, can I turn my I337M into a I9505 for install ROM? If yes, how...?
Most roms usually also support CMDA devices.
Many ROMs designed for the Qualcomm s4 will run on the i337m. I'm not even sure you could convert the i337m into an i9505.
