I have an I337M and have flashed many
different ROMs on my phone from other
S4 variants, but was wondering if I can
Flash a Google Play Edition S4 ROM?
I want to make my own personal build
Using the GPE firmware but don't know
If the mount points are the same.
I'm not near a computer otherwise I'd
check myself, just wondering if anyone
could fill me in quickly.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Has anyone tried flashing a touchwiz rom on the google edition device? I tried searching but didn't find any information on this.
Thanks!
It should work, frankly, I would like to know also, I could include it in my guide.
Are you guys rooted yet?
Sorry but I had to post this here instead of the dedicated GPE forum as I am a newer member and could not post in the development section yet. I have a question about the compatibility of some of the more popular roms with the Google play edition of the S4. I currently own the AT&T variant of the S4 and just purchased the GPE as I am sick of not being able to flash Paranoid on my device due to the locked bootloader. When I purchased the GPE I was under the impression that with the unlocked bootloader I would be able to flash whatever I wanted on the device but from the research that I have done it seems like there is not a lot of support for the GPE and therefore only a few roms out there.
I was trying to find out if it will be difficult to get one of the carrier versions of even PA 3.99 to run on the GPE S4 with minimal changes hopefully just to the update script? Please forgive this post residing here but I have read through all of the threads on the i9505g and haven't really come across good answers. I don't know if I should keep the GPE if there is not a lot of rom support as that is my main reason for purchasing it being that I already have the locked carrier version.
Thanks guys ...
Just in case anyone was in the same situation as me ... I went ahead and flashed the nightly CM 11 for the international version and it worked. I have been using for a day now and have not had any issues. Pretty happy !
I was wondering what Roms I can use with the Japanese Galaxy S4. I found a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282681 that give instructions on how to Root and even lists a few Roms but all the Roms say they are for AT&T/Canada.
Am I able to use any AT&T/Canada Rom? Do I need to use the AT&T or the Canada version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, really want to use a custom Rom.
Thank you for your time and help.

Hello, I have a recently purchased i9505g (Google Edition) Galaxy S4. After unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom recovery, and rooting, I have become curious about which ROMs specifically I can flash on my device. I understand that some variants have different internal components which can render improper devices bricked. If anyone can tell me which GS4 Development threads I can download ROMs from, I would be extremely thankful!

Use this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop
Be sure to read the flashing instructions for the rom you wish to flash.
Make sure you make a nandroid backup before flashing anything.
Good luck!
Thank you for the information. Just for clarity, the i9505g CAN in fact flash the i9505 ROMs?
Anyone?
I'm sorry to have to ask a question such as this but I would like more roms to choose from and it seems like international at&t forums have a lot more options. I don't know when to install googlies xstra small patch or an auto port patch. I know how to flash through ss3.72 and am running a stock NC5 rooted deoxed rom right now. I was happy to have hyperdrive but now I just want to toy around with other roms and I think there is something to this auto port/international stuff.... thanks for your time, I'm new and have googled a lot, just no conclusive answers how to run at&t based roms on my sch-i545 verizon galaxy s4.
