Sorry but I had to post this here instead of the dedicated GPE forum as I am a newer member and could not post in the development section yet. I have a question about the compatibility of some of the more popular roms with the Google play edition of the S4. I currently own the AT&T variant of the S4 and just purchased the GPE as I am sick of not being able to flash Paranoid on my device due to the locked bootloader. When I purchased the GPE I was under the impression that with the unlocked bootloader I would be able to flash whatever I wanted on the device but from the research that I have done it seems like there is not a lot of support for the GPE and therefore only a few roms out there.
I was trying to find out if it will be difficult to get one of the carrier versions of even PA 3.99 to run on the GPE S4 with minimal changes hopefully just to the update script? Please forgive this post residing here but I have read through all of the threads on the i9505g and haven't really come across good answers. I don't know if I should keep the GPE if there is not a lot of rom support as that is my main reason for purchasing it being that I already have the locked carrier version.
Thanks guys ...
Just in case anyone was in the same situation as me ... I went ahead and flashed the nightly CM 11 for the international version and it worked. I have been using for a day now and have not had any issues. Pretty happy !

Hey all I asked this in the Verizon forum and other people were also curious but I didn't get a response.
With the phone being as locked down as it is I was thinking of getting the Verizon GS5 Dev-Edition. If I understand correctly I can use ROMs from this forum (Main GS5 forum) since they share the same processor and hardware and Kernels as long as they support Verizon correct (Like Blaze)
Thanks for the advice/help in advanced!
I'm sorry to have to ask a question such as this but I would like more roms to choose from and it seems like international at&t forums have a lot more options. I don't know when to install googlies xstra small patch or an auto port patch. I know how to flash through ss3.72 and am running a stock NC5 rooted deoxed rom right now. I was happy to have hyperdrive but now I just want to toy around with other roms and I think there is something to this auto port/international stuff.... thanks for your time, I'm new and have googled a lot, just no conclusive answers how to run at&t based roms on my sch-i545 verizon galaxy s4.
There are many Lollipops been 'tasted', but my S4(SC-04E) can't work well while I flashed some 5.0 ROMs based on i9505.
I wonder is there any 5.0 ROM can be normally used on my device, or is there any thread containing a lot information of SC-04E.
Anyone have ever tried 5.0 ROMs or kernels for other S4s and successfully get it work. Wishing you could share your experience !
Hoping I could get answer in this forum..
Hey hey I 'm new to this community. s4 have a i337 at & t but maybe you wanted to change your system or install a rom s6 possess something like android 4.4.2 could help me before hand
I believe the AT&T s4 has a locked bootloader which limits the custom ROMs that can be installed on the phone. Have a look in the development forum to see what is compatible with your phone.
???
good question mate..
I believe so. I know this one was just posted a few weeks ago for the g900h: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-t3224562 but I couldn't tell you if it is the same developer or not.
Which is the newest XtreStoLite version for the G900F?
Thx
AFAIK, the development for the international versions stopped at 2.2, however someone decided to adopt the rom and continue development. Unfortunately, the person that continued the development only builds for the G900H model, as he does not own an international version. So in short, no but yes if you have a G900H.
Edit: make sure that you don't flash a G900H rom onto a G900F model -_-
