[Q] Cyanogen Mod 10 (SuperNexus Project)

Hi guys,
I'm new to android, but after doing some research, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to use the Touchwiz UI on the Samsung Galaxy S4 I intend to purchase in about a week or so. I have watched a couple videos regarding Cyanogen Mod and the SuperNexus Project that all have the rooted software and mod on a Galaxy S3 or other android device. Because the Galaxy S4 is such a new phone, I haven't see any videos regarding this process on that phone, and when searching it in Google, I find results with search titles that are geared towards S2 or S3 users. Could someone here please tell me if it's possible to install the SuperNexus mods on a rooted Galaxy S4, and if so whether it's the same process or if it is different. Thank you very much.

the i9500 has a different chipset than the google play edition s4 so we don't have the same aosp sources that's why roms like cm and pa are still a little buggy cause we are using a custom device tree made by a developer. The closest you can get to a stock android feel is by flashing cm which woulkd require you to root your phone:good:

Help with custom roms and galaxy gear

Hey guys, A new note 3 user here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SM-N900 as seen in my signature, As per my understanding its an exynos note 3 i guess. There are a few things i wanted to ask
1. Is there a custom rom which is more fluid and bloatware free than the stock one, i previously used Dr. Ketan's rom in my other note 3 and i was impressed with it. How is the MIUI one? Will i be able to connect my gear after installing a custom rom?
2. I checked out and found out that the exynos version doesn't have CM, paranoid android, AOKP and the likes. Do they exist for this phone? Or they don't due to the exynos chip?
3. I am unable to connect my gear using the Android wear app. Any solutions
Thanks for your help

First of all, get your information suited up...
If you are using a Galaxy gear(TIZEN OS), you will be able to connect it to every device you want, BUT; only with samsung firmware you will have full function(For example; Samsung apps, mediacontroller, s health etc), the clock is the most you will get . The galaxy gear doesn't work on android wear, it works on the samsung app...
If you have a gear live, Can't say much cause I don't use android wear yet, BUT: wrong choice buddy, you should have gone for the Moto 360

How to get the nexus firmware on the s5?

No offense to Samsung, but I kinda hate the touchwiz and all the other clunky components of the s5 running lollipop. Unfortunately I didn't know this when I bought my s5 for $800 or I would have gotten a nexus instead. I've been told by a friend that it's possible to get the firmware used on the nexus 6 (the original lollipop) on my s5 if I root. I'm not afraid of rooting, but I can't seem to find anything about getting the unaltered lollipop on my s5. I don't know if this is even possible, but material design is the reason for my existence at the moment and my s5 running lollipop doesn't have enough of it. Thanks in advance if anyone replies.
(btw, searching for "stock lollipop on s5" in google only gives me the samsung-altered firmware for the s5, so I was hoping someone here could help)

Its just a different rom (custom rom) like CM12, Blisspop, aicp, ressurection remix.... Search the s5 Unified development section here in s5 XDA and you'll find those roms which are completely stock like nexus roms

Please help - want to upload android 7 onto S4 I9500

I want to upload android 7 onto my S4, and was able to install TWRP and to make a nandroid backup. But the page with the instructions I was using has an empty link for the android 7 ROM. All my searches could find were pages for I9505, and I have I9500. Then I found these forums. Can someone recommend a source for the most stable least possible problematic android 7 ROM for an S4 I9500? Thanks - Mark

Are you looking for stock ROM or custom ROM?

I don't know enough about the difference to say I want the custom, so I'll just say which ever is easiest and/or most reliable. Sorry I posted in the wrong place at first - this site is huge and I've never done any of this before.

I just need an android 7 for my S4 I9500 so I can use a walabot attachment stud finder for a home project.

Go to this website. You can find some android 7 stock firmware for the specific model. Do not flash stock firmware using TWRP. Use ODIN flash tool for that.

If you are looking for custom ROM, You have to find one which is suitable for your device. I can't recommend one because i haven't tested any custom ROM on that device model.

Thanks so much for your assistance - like I said - I've never done any of this before. I'll post a note on my success (hopefully) later.

Back to square one - the Samsung official ROM for the S4 I9500 only goes to Android 5, so I'll have to find a custome ROM after all to get 7, and I need 7 for this phone attachment.

Google this: Android 7 custom rom s4 i9500.
But i can't guarantee that those ROMs will perfectly work on your device.

I tried to find lineage os rom for your device but it seems like your device is not in the list and those custom lineage roms aren't android 7 roms.
