Was thinking of using this guide to accomplish this since I want something diferent...But I've read there has been several different changes and ROMS and wanted to get people's advice on what to do?
Well since I am a new user I cannot post links but if someone wants to see what I found I guess I can PM you...The guide was found on Techno Buffalo site
Thanks

question is can you flash a play edition rom on the north american S4 1337M
i read through the guide and it talks about i9505 international version
i am already on touchwiz 4.3 telcel mexico rom SGH-I337 could still switch to Google edition? if yes could someone provide link? THANKS IN ADVANCE
1. Why is this in themes and apps? Its all redundant anyway but in far wrong section
2. Flash any aosp/aokp ROM. Same thing. Read these forums, there's an actual play edition ROM, FOR THE I337! Read the thread and it'll say if its compatible
I even got the link for the lazy. Read the OP.

None of the recoveries or ROMs for the i9505 or i9500 work on the google edition galaxy s4 (i9505G).
This has caused a lot of people to brick their devices. The reason the recoveries and Roms don't work is because the partitioning is completely different on the Google edition.
Moderators or Admins could you please consider adding a separate forum or subforum for the galaxy s4 Google edition?

I requested a separate forum in the official request thread. You could add to it and paste what you wrote above as well.

I agree! That would be very helpful for us GE S4 owners.
Yes please!

Agreed. I sent a PM to three forum admin a few days ago and he said he'd pass the request along but couldn't guarantee anything. Hopefully they do this for us as it's frustrating and confusing for an i9505G owner.

I can hardly find any solution to my almost-bricked i9505G...it's different from i9505. I tried TWRP recovery but it doesn't work.
the same for S4 Mini (I9195)

I'd like to know this too. It seems odd to me there isn't a simple way of converting a normal S4 to a Google Edition version...
I would love to know some info about that too.
You can't convert s4 into a gpe this has been answered already. .... partitions are different and if you try to change s4 partition you'll Brick your phone... We know it's same hardware but just Google and you'll see why it can't be done ...
Only a custom rom will work. ..jamal2367
Has one working but it had some bugs still

I agree with @frnkly and you have the choices now :- Flash custom ROM or get a Google edition smartphone

The 4.3 Touchwiz was out a few weeks ago ... lol
You will probably find a custom 4.4 rom when it is pushed to the SG4 GPe

Ok Thank you we must wait :/
You're new so I'll only ask you to re-read the forum rules, and pay attention to eta's
If you have a google edition phone, then you are going to get the 4.4 update soon, Patience Grasshopper!
First rule of XDA: Do not talk about XDA.
second rule of XDA: Do not ask for ETAs

Hello.
Well i thought i had a fairly good idea about rooting mods and bloatware. I was wrong. The more i read the more i find myself unsure of what i should do. I belive this is a lack of experiance and ability to understand the information i am reading. I have no doubt that everything i need to know is readily available on these forums. But I am feeling pretty gunshy.
So I am wondering for the most part what is the best way to get rid of the bloatware on my telus S5. What is safe to get rid of and what isnt. I have a feeling the best way to do this is to flash a rom. I have decided i would try the alliance rom found in a thread hear :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716535&page=19 Is this a viable rom for my phone 900W8. Will this take care of most of the bloatware? Is there any steps other then 1:root 2:flash rom? these are the parts i am finding unclear. sorry for the noobishness. I have read almost everything i can find about the whole procedure but find myself confused. I have used odin before on my old S2X but surely havent used it for a very long time.
Thanks for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated. Have been a member hear since i rooted the s2x and the community is great.
Cheers
Feel the same

Hi - what instructions did you follow to root it and can you please provide a link to the rom you're using?
I'm very interested in doing this to my telus s5 as well - but I find the S5 sections on XDA to be far more disjointed than for other phones I've done this to in past years so I don't want to follow the wrong instructions or flash an incompatible rom.
please post a link to the rooting instructions that worked for your telus S5 and to the rom you found that runs on your telus S5
thanks so much!
Cheers
I used twrp for recovery and did a Google search for the guide I found. I forget where it was but will look and report back. I have had the best luck on omega rom. Having said that I have tryed them all and they where all good. Omega just worked best for me. As for kernels I liked the arkenstone. I am currently on blaze v8 and letting it settle in to test battery. Sorry for dished answer my kids are keeping me busy but if you pm mei will go do some searching.
