Hi all,
I recently flashed my samsung s4 i9505 with philz touch 5 recovery and used that to install the 4.4 kitkat google play edition rom.
Almost everything works great, except that periodically my phone reboots. I'd say that it happens about once a day and I really don't know why. So far, google hasn't turned up any useful answers.
It is a shame because the features provided by the rom are amazing.
Has anyone ran into a similar issue before?
My S4 was originally 4.3 android (h3g).
Thanks!

Do you have a link to the different kernels? Is there a preference for which one I should use?

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone is working on AOSP mainly CyanogenMod for Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) on UK networks such as EE and Vodafone etc.
I am currently running Omega 3.1 but would rather switch to pure android and current nightlies presented here for CyanogenMod 10.1 fail to install on my Phone. I have tried both TWRP and CWM.
Possibly I am doing something wrong while installing it :silly: or maybe it is not compatible.
please advice if anyone has got success installing CM 10.1...or if there is any different ROM which one can try.
many thanks

Its a problem with the recoveries, its being looked at and will be fixed. Keep trying to install CM, sometimes it needs a few attempts to work. When you see Error 7, reboot back in to recovery and install again, it will work if you keep at it.

I've been using my device on both networks and using victorators aokp rom.I just love it to be honest. Both cwm and twrp are tricky sometimes but keep trying and you'll be ok.

I had the Status 7 error too. Rebooting didn't help me. What helped for me was deleting the rom from my SD card. And recopying it back onto the SD card. Then it started working straigt away. Seems to have something to do with the formatting.
Thanks guys for all your valuable replies :good:, my hands are getting itchy now to get it started .. but am stuck at work ..will have to get it done tonight sometime
Hi
I'm searching for a stock ROM 4.3 google edition for my Samsung Galaxy S4. If there is a way without root, I'd prefer that one.
The most important thing for me is the possibility to get OTA updates directly from Samsung/Google. So I'd like to turn my stock S4 into a stock Google edition S4. Is there a way?
I already searched for this in various Sub-Forums on this site, but there are so many ROMs and I don't know which is the right one for me?
Thx

With or without root, you can't get official updates if you're on google edition 4.3.

Thank you for the links. The ROM of the first link you posted I'm using for about 2 months, but unfortunatly it does not seem to support ota updates, since I'm still on built number JWR66.S005.130625 and there are newer builts on the internet.
Also the rest of your posted ROMs don't seem to get ota updates directly. The only way to get updates seems to be by installing them manually.
Maybe there is no way (atm) to turn a S4 into a pure stock Google Edition S4.

That's what I ment.
Is there a way to get an "incremental" update for my built number to a more actual version? I don't like it to completly restet the device just for an update...
All the 4.3 GE roms are custom ones and you won't get any OTA. This may change but that's it for now I'm afraid.

I have the AT&T GS4. I am considering downloading the 4.4 Google Play Edition ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 and using the MK2 modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517. I am unsure about which loki'd kernel to use.
Anyway, is anyone running Android 4.4 Google Play Edition *successfully* ? I have heard several problem reports, but have not yet seen a report of flawless operation. If you are running one without any major issues, please let us know what combination of ROM, kernel and modem you are using. That should save the group members some time. Some of us want to give KitKat a shot without having to go through various combinations do that do not work well.
Thanks.

Flawless operation, but I don't have the MF3 build. I just flashed the whole version of 4.4 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43216973&postcount=1 and haven't had any issues at all, using stock kernel.
Thanks for the pointer to KangKat. I had earlier gotten the impression that it was not stock. But on second look, it looks pretty close to stock. I'll give this a shot.
do you have to be rooted to install this?
KangaKat is awesome

You should definitely try KangaKat. I was using KangaBean up until today. Works well. Don't know where you are in the world, but you may need to flash radio after upgrading to KitKat.

I came across that information too but i also found that other people with root were able to get it to work. It works with my brothers s4 and his is rooted but not running the same rom and his is for tmobile and mine is for at&t. I asked in the Goldeneye forum if anyone running the same rom was have the same issue but no response. Would appreciate any input, help or ideas. I have tried reflashing the rom several times and wiping several times.

I have an SGH-i337z on Cricket and I was able to root and install TWRP using hroark13's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cket-aio-sgh-i337z-jflteaio-twrp-2-7-t2858698)
I've been trying various CM builds, the Google Play Edition ROM and PACMAN, but they all seem to have issues (5GHz WiFi, one app or another not working properly, notification glitches). To be fair, they are AT&T ROMs. Also, it takes a bit of work to install as you have to remove the asserts line from each ROM before installing. But if you just want to root and use TWRP to backup it works fine!

Just out of curiosity, was the GPE ROM you tried the Lollipop one? Also, are there any roms for this phone that work well and stable in your experience?
I haven't tried any lollipop roms yet. The 4.4.4 kitkat GPE ROM was stable with the exception of breaking a music streaming app I use (subsonic). It was also the only ROM that identified the carrier as Cricket instead of AT&T.
Pacman I didn't really like so i can't speak much for its stability.
CM11 can be hit or miss. The nightly seem more stable than the stable or milestone versions usually, but one gave me 5GHz wifi problems. I was never able to use 5GHz with the milestone I tried.
Right now i am using 12/13 nightly CM11 and it has been running very well. I really like the slider shortcuts on the CM lock screen, so I'll probably just stick with CM.

Yes, CM11 is working great! If anything is broken I haven't come across it yet. There are certainly a lot available and any unified or AT&T ROM should work (no need for safestrap), so feel free to try out anything that looks good! I liked GPE and it seemed to work really well until I found it didn't work with one app I use occasionally (subsonic). You might not have any issues with apps you use. I also seemed to get better battery life with GPE. The wifi issue I had with an older CM11 build seems to have been fixed, so that's working well now. The author of the root I used seems to like Skyfall, so you could go that way if you like touchwiz.
Have some fun trying out a couple, and make a backup before installing something different so you can easily go back if you decide you liked one better.

FWIW, I've gotten Goldeneye, Skyfall and stock T-mobile running on my i337z with TWRP. I figured out that I needed to flash my phone's modules after flashing a touchwiz ROM for it to boot and run correctly. My i337z is on ND3. I uploaded the ND3 and NE2 modules in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57407130&postcount=75.
