I've been having a lot of confusion about the models of this phone, which models have the most support and is there a difference if I flash a rom of other model that isn't the exact same one or i will have problems with this, and also, where I am from i can obtain a d801 and a d803, which one would it be recommended?

Might just be me but I see a lot of Roms supported by the 801

Are S4 and S4 GE exactly the same hardware? Will it just be a question about flashing original ROM and then you have a 100% S4 GE?
I was going to ask the same. I have an international gt19505 and want to know if it will be possible to flash the new firmware via Odin. Any ideas when it will be released?

I'm subscribing to this one. Definitely interested. Although I'll probably end up with a ROM of a custom variety at the end of the day.
Initially It's only for the Qualcomm verison but by just changing the kernel and some modules it must work I think

it hasn't been released yet, no one knows... but chances are no, due to different modems

Hi,
I was wondering then if you could flash it on the international versione or not?
Hey guys, if i am lucky I will hopefully soon be a happy galaxy s4 owner. However, this device shall be sent to me from Kuwait. Now my main question is, would that make my device have an exynos or a snapdragon CPU.
No need to get into details here a simple yes or no would be fine with the next question: battery life .. Is the snapdragon better?
Any notable differences?
Flashing to stock firmware of any sort possible just like during the sgs1 times? Or is it like ****ty old HTC? Thanks in advance

The I9505 seems to dominate the forum with devs developing for this more than the I9500. This may change but at the moment it seems that unless you are hardcore set on the Octacore CPU that has no noticeable difference when using the phone then the I9505 is the way to go...

Kuwait sells both versions, so it depends on which you purchased. Guess you will find out soon enough. I9505 has more dev support because it's based on the Krait/QC chip where the I9500 has Perseus, one of the greatest kernel devs on all XDA.

I have the AT&T S4 and you can only use the AT&T and I9505 ROMs. You have to flash the loki-doki zip afterwards though. You won't have to unlock again

Hi, I've got the videotron variant. Now it says it's the d801, but when I had trouble rooting it, a great guy (autoprime) on IRC pointed out that it was mislabeled and actually needed the d803 method, the traditional Canadian variant. Now I'm rooted, got my twrp, but I'm not sure whether I should flash d801 roms or d803 roms. Any tips would be very helpful and appreciated
Thanks!

I can't give you exact advice on this. But I have the D803 (Bell, in QC as well) and From what I understand, it should be all 803. If you started out with rooting and using a recovery for D803, I would stick with that option.
Sorry I can't give you more solid advice but I'm sure you have an 803 that is mislabeled

I appreciates your input! Yeah it's pretty much what I figured... I shouldn't have any problem, the working LTE pretty much proves it's the same hardware. Anyway that's what nandroids are for.

I'm considering getting the G2 from Rogers this weekend. Can I use custom roms for D802 on the Rogers D803 version? I am especially interested in Cyanogen Mod which I have been running on all my Android devices for a while. Thanks.
There are a few for the d803. .....I have also read that you can use any att roms As lling as you remove boot.img....check the dev section. They are either listed as multi carrier roms or say d803 in the description

Thank you. Does the boot.img contain the Kernel? In that case does it mean I would be stuck with whatever the default kernel is shipped wtih the phone?
