[Q] i337 or i9505G - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Is it better to purchase an i337 with the old unlockable boot loader or the i9505G ( google play edition). The reason I ask, is because it "appears" as though there are more custom ROM's available for the i337 than there are for the i9505G.
Thanks,
Mike

The current answer is no. This is because the Google Edition is based of the i9505 hardware. The only 'Google Edition' ROM contains proprietary drivers, libraries, etc that are specific to i9505 hardware.

Can i9506 use same recovery/roms as i9505?

I am going to rom my friends phone, I used to have an i9505 and he has the LTE-A i9506 model, so was wondering if I can just use the same thing.
TWRP doesn't seem to have a page for the i9506.
Thanks

rom installed in s4 i337 at&t 4.4.2 locked bootloader

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.
