I9506 Custom roms!! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys....
Just using for years now Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 with all kinds of customs roms and last week I've decided to win an auction for S4 I9506 (why not since it's the top performer compared to 9505 or not to say in the world) so managed to get it from Germany!
The thing is I haven't checked xda to see that there isn't any but any support for it, at least let's say YET?
I was 100% sure that I would be able to boot into CM in minutes as with all my samsungs....but....shall I wait or shall I give it away to take fully supported I9505?
Please give me your ideas....
Can we help somehow to achieve better attention from developers? Even donations, or what?
Thanks

go for the i9505 if you can.

I wasted too much time to be able to win it in a fair price...now I'll have to sell it? It's so much more powerful... If this is the case with so much lack of support...
I know some guys are trying hard here but we need more...

Here in Finland, we can't even get i9500 anymore. All S4's are i9506 unless you buy one "without a contract". But I'm not rich enough to buy a 450 EUR phone in one payment so I rather took the monthly payment plan

Hi shohat I've been looking for someone like you for a long time now, actually I've got a team of developers in stand by to port cm on the 506, your help would be highly appreciated, if you wanna be in just pm me your gmail adress assuming you're using hangout chat, thanks in advance.

I dont think there will ever be any development for i9506 now that the s5 has been released.

I think there will!
S5 do not bring alot new things to the table, and right now S4 i9506 is a hole lot cheaper!
Where I live S4 i about $350 cheaper!!!!

and for purists, the 9506 has much better performance than the s5

Thats because they are a big company and mean business. Once they have sold their product they are least bothered unless our could cause a potential cause to their image or sales. N not only samsung, other OEMs do the same.

[Q] No google edition rom for I9500

The I9500 Version wont get the Google Edition Rom ?????????????
No. The i9500 is Exynos based. The Google Play Editions are based on the i9505 Snapdragon 600 model.

I bought a i9500 hoping more would opt for it. and would get the google edition tooo... But being a flasholic, i was really disappointed. Oh well... Hoping some ports come up. I keep going to i9505 threads and they have sooooo many roms, and look at the i9500 threads, they are almost barren. :'( !

Blame samsung for not releasing the Exynos sources. I'm stuck with i9500 myself.
Samsung ftw ! THE s4 is my last samsung phone, I was waiting for the note 3 as well however the same s3 note 2 pattern is emerging, so no thanks, selling both n2 and s4. Still dunno which phone I should get
Swyped from another galaxy
It feels more like that the Exynos S4 is Samsung's "Google" phone

I bought my 9500 yesterday. I took the Exynos even with less support, higher price to play with the 8 core. I can't wait to receive it
I used to be a flasholic for my other device (gnex, n4) till I found PA rom
If I can find 1 good rom on the 9500 I'll be happy

Well, that's a new one. I thought most people here bought the i9500 because it was the only one sold in their countries, but I guess some actually willingly expose themselves to the utter torture of owning an exynos device, knowing the low dev support it has and will continue to have.
Porting something from a Qcomm device to exynos won't be easy, if possible at all. You'll have to wait until CM publishes a nightly for the i9500........whenever that happens....

Yes this is really annoying to be forced to buy the model that Samsung decides to sell in each country. But geeks can always buy the version they want...if they really want ! Most of us have friends in another countries or know people who travel a lot. However, in this case, we cannot benefit from plans nor warranties...

I changed the launcher to a simpler one, removed the heavy bloatware pack and that's perfect for me.
Note: I am not any fan of some Google "bloatware" that are also present in there rom!
DocRambone has successfully ported this to the i9500. He's currently chasing bugs.

Why no ROM for S3 i747 AT&T - d2att

It looks like a lot of devices are already being supported, but I am surprised to see no support for the North American i747 variants of the S3. I can't find any discussions about it either, so I don't know what the reason is.
Does anyone have any insights?

The usual answer - no maintainer.
Some guys were working on d2 variants but I'm not sure where that went.

yea i was more so trying to see how much work is involved in the process to see if i could look into doing it
With a non-Nexus or non-4.4 device, you basically have to code the drivers and everything by hand, if I understand my reading correctly, as well as any device-specific adjustments that must be made.

@CNexus has already built OmniRom for D2Spr. He has contributed heavily on the d2 Kernel for Omni Rom
He can be helping hand, if he agrees to help

Think you can reach out to @jakew02. Jake has been instrumental in getting Omni nightly builds for Galaxy S4 devices. He started building unofficial even when Omni was not support.
I am confident he can help us bringing the beloved Omni to our d2 devices - AT&T Galaxy S3
Jake can you please guide the us for building Omni for d2 devices? I have been after your life for building something for d2att.:silly:
@berryman13 and @Keland44 are trying to build for d2att device but with no success. Your help will be highly appreciated:good:

I strongly hope you guys understand me and my point....and co operate with me....
I still remember my promise about SOKP
So @DarkStryder will be representing and maintain official SOKP rom for both variants of Tab2 from my side and my team...I hope you guys will support him and cooperate with him in his threads....

Sadly when VZW does get the Note 4 they will lock down the bootloader like they did on the S3, S4 and the Note 3. I was running an earlier version of Android 4.1.2 and refused to update. The new 4.3 bootloader locked the phone down and while rooting is possible anything other than TW roms are not able to be installed.

Sadly when VZW does get the Note 4 they will lock down the bootloader like they did on the S3, S4 and the Note 3. I was running an earlier version of Android 4.1.2 and refused to update. The new 4.3 bootloader locked the phone down and while rooting is possible anything other than TW roms are not able to be installed.

Sam-sucks! They won't get my money for locked devices! We will move to Nexus, HTC or other root-friendly brands.
I now understand your post of yesterday, @Audio God and words "I will tell it to my mates"!
But if you will be involved in the development for the N7100 we will meet here soon again

[Q] Which One to Buy ? Dev will support ?

Obviously we are all waiting for the Note 4, yet it's Pricey.
Now comes the hard question.
Which one to buy ? and
Which will the Dev support ? (Future Proofing)
N910C or N910S
Snapdragon over Exynos
We all saw it in the S4 between the 9505 and 9500 so I don't want to get stuck in the same loop.
Please advise at the earliest since all the articles on the Web refer to Chip variants and differences yet no one has a solid answer to which will be supported and would be considered as a real investment. I hear the Exynos is benchmarked with 40K therefore exceeding our favorite Snapdragon chip !?
That makes it even worse to decide
International version is snapdragon if u care about custom stuff go for it.

Kinda. There's now multiple international versions and some are Exynos (some of Europe, Aus, NZ, HK and Korea)

I think the exynos version(s) this time around may prove to be a bit more popular because the believe (uncertain) that the 5433 will run 64bit (future proofing).

Tough to say, All of the USA market will have snapdragon, as will many other countries. That means there will be a greater percentage of "market share" of the S805 version with a better chance of having dev support on it.
Snapdragon
This is a million dollar question right here...

thats great to hear!
u planning on doing any dev work on this thing, or just gonna enjoy it?
I can't decide between the white or the black myself; I'd get the gold one just to be different, but, it wont be out for awhile, so dont want to wait for it..
As soon as i have the files i plan on working on recovery and if I get bored enough maybe more.

hahaha that's so true. Snap will have better dev support and GPU while the exynos MIGHT be 64bit enabled anytime soon and is definitely faster, but still not sure of how faster in daily use. Now it's up to you and wait for more information to come. For now, that's about it.

It was wishful thinking... If anyone could find a way to get a recovery on att, It would be you...

you give me far too much credit, i port recoveries and do minor things. bootloader exploits are beyond my scope of even understanding how many actually work.
The Exynos model should be faster, better on battery, and possibly offer 64-bit down the road. I'm going with that one.
