The rom by Danvh works with i337m, if you mean by phone features, functionality them no you don't loose anything if you mean software wise, there is a bi of different since GPE is not touchwiz based.
2nd vote for Danvh's ROM, I've been using it on my Canadian i337m for months with no issues.

Of course there is an untouched GE 4.3 ROM. Just download it from here:

It's from the i9505 forum, but it is the same phone, and works fine. I am running it myself.
Just make sure you already have a custom recovery on the i337 first. I prefer CWM because it auto loki's your ROMs for you.

I recently installed a custom rom that is cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy s4 sgh-i337m (Canadian version from bell). It is a great rom but the only problem I have is that I don't have samsung features such as air view, air call accept , smart stay etc. Can someone tell me how I can get this features on my phone? I have clockwork mod touch the newest version and my phone has rom manager and supersu.

If you want tw applications and features you will have to go back to a tw rom. Not going to work on non tw roms.

They are TouchWhiz features. in order for them to work you have to be on a TouchWhiz ROM as stated. So no, sorry but you cannot get the features on CM 10.2
There are some features like the ones on touchwiz available on the play store. I know something like smart stay is on there. Of course they won't be from Samsung but they will do the same thing, and you won't need to suffer with TW. Stroll the play store for the features you want and see if they fit your needs

Not sure how many of you use galaxy s4 google play edition.... But I am interested if the kitkat update brings the same phone dialer as that in nexus phone? Also can someone tell what is missing in Kitkat 4.4.2 that's running on S4 vs. nexus 5.
You may get more replies in the international s4 forum. I believe that is where the gpe is officially supported. Running an att version with gpe software... I assume nothing missing if you are willing (i am) you can use the google experience launcher with no issues. Imo the only con to the s4 gpe is its price tag. Other than that its my favorite.

Is there anyways to get Samsung apps on a custom ROM? I find that while the 4.4.2 Roms generally work great, that lack of SApps and especially the one hand functionality, really reduce how great these Roms can be.
Or is the best bet just to root Samsung's Roms?
Thanks in advance.
Never heard of the leaked 4.4.2 kitkat Samsung rom? ???

I think he is referring to AOSP 4.4.2 ROMS.
For the OP, I don't think it is possible, and believe me, I am in the same position as you are, whether use the boring Samsung ROM with all those features or to use nice looking 4.4.2 ROMs with no Samsung features
Why wouldn't it be possible? Aren't the Samsung apps just apks that can be extracted? Or is it all based only on touch wiz?
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its based on the touchwiz framework. Yeah, it's apks and you might be able to install them but they might either not start up, work properly or not be able to install.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Apks require TWiz framework to work which is impossible to get in AOSP ROMs. AFAIK, MIUI is the only custom ROM which supports SApps.
Can someone direct me to a 4.4.4 GPE ROM, official for the S4 GPE not a port that I can flash on a i9505.
If there is no 4.4.4 what would be the latest one.
Rooted if possible.
Also is it true that GPE ROMs have better camera quality than other non-TW ROMs?
Thanks.
There is non, why do you think it's ported?
Unless your phone model is I9505G there is no official GPE ROM. Danvdh's GPE ROM in the I9505 Development section is about as close as you're going to get.
By port I meant port from non s4 devices. Also Davids ROM is lollipop, I want to stay on KK.
Thanks.

I think he also worked KitKat version.
@GDReaper: He did.
@OP: Danvdh should still have an Android 4.4.4 version of the GPE ROM available at his site, ported from the S4 GPE to the I9505.
