Android 5.0 L was introduced by Google in the last days. Now also a preview ROM for the Nexus 4 and 7 already has been released. Are there any custom ROM's for Galaxy S4 yet? If a custom ROM of Android 5 will be released for Galaxy s4 you can Post the links to them here

Hi, I have an AT&T S4 running 4.3 that was leaked a month ago or less. I saw today that Google officially released 4.3 for the GE S4 so I thought I would see talk about it here. Now that I'm looking I don't really see any stock 4.3 ROM's anymore with the exception of a few custom 4.3 ROMs like CM.
Where they pulled?

well if google JUST officially released it, you cant expect it to be ported just right after....
Yeah but I at least expected to see some talk about it. Also can't find the original 4.3 thread where you would think there would be recent discussion in there bumping it to the to in the development forum.

And Samsung requested removal of the leaked firmware so whatever is out there is what's out there for now...give it some time.
So Samsung is working on 4.3 for the non Google edition S4s?
I hope the S4 Active gets it..

Not really, I assume you had the idea from S3 getting 4.3 instead of 4.2.
S3 skipped 4.2 because 4.3 was already released, and Samsung didn't have time to make both 4.2 and 4.3 roms.
Sorry for the off-topic.

Hello,
I think it will be December......
Personal guess: we will see a leaked ROM around start-mid October.

IMHO if you want to feel how it taste 4.3 go directly to any modding thread and flash one the roms already available (after a nandroid backup), they are performing quite well and can be used as daily driver. Then, if you miss too much TW you can recover your nandroid and wait for Samsung to realese a 4.3 rom.
anyone have any details on what we can expect on the new firmware?

Look on the Nexus 4 thread for whats to come to us or check out the GE S4 Edition. They allready have it.
I read a few articles saying that Google has announced 4.4 will be coming to the S4 GE shortly after the Nexus 5 releases/ships.
Is it likely that I'll be able to install this ROM on my regular I9505XXUBMGA?
Also what are your thoughts on 4.4 coming to the S4?
Still waiting for 4.3. in other words 6-12 months hopefully.

You can install GE firmware on the i9505 as it's the same hardware. HTC said they'll have 4.4 on the One GE in 15 days, so I assume the same goes for the S4. The touchwiz version will most likely come after the S5 is released.

Awesome will definitely be flashing the GE 4.4 as soon as someone rips and uploads it then.
Most likely once their done updating their current devices to 4.3 you can expect 4.4 next.. i know HTC came out today and announce it will have 4.4 on their GPE in a few weeks and Sense roms by the end of January
Soon hopefully. I'm on 4.3 with Orange/EE UK. No root or rom flashing etc. They were quick

I'm on EE with a Galaxy S4 in the UK and Kies isn't rolling the update out yet....not for me anyway!
GPE edition hopefully soon. HTC have said Sense will be updated within 90 days. Hopefully Samsung make an announcement in regards to official 4.4 TouchWiz edition.

Can you flash the GE rom to a non GE phone? Like the regular international i9505?

4.3 was rolled out via ota for nexus devices at July 24. Two weeks after it was rolled out for GPE devices. Then after less than 3 months the touchwiz 4.3 update came in.
Samsung rarely anounces time frames for their updates but if we follow the pattern above, the GPE 4.4 update should come in 2-3 weeks and the tw version in 3-4months.
In the meantime you could flash your favorite custom AOSP based rom like CM (should come very soon as the nexus 4 already got a booting 4.4 version) to satisfy your kitkat cravings while waiting for the official update.
Now let's play the waiting game and see who gets to make the first kitkat build for the s4

Perhaps Samsung will release 4.4 without a new flagship device. It depends on the objectives of the company.
But for 2014 April or March the S5 is due... we only have 2 months left in 2013.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk
Some reports say S5 will be announced in January so all of Samsung's efforts are probably going into polishing the 4.4 experience for that.

Hello. Quick question. I got my Galaxy S4 from at&t and removed the stock TouchWiz ROM and put in the official Google Edition Android 4.3 ROM from the Galaxy S4 i9505G (I believe that model is the Google Play edition S4). I just wanted to know since I have the official Google Edition stock ROM on my at&t Galaxy S4, will I get the update for 4.4 KitKat? Please let me know if a question I am asking is already out in the forms. Other than that, let me know with an answer to this question.
The official 4.3 ota isnt out yet for our we have a long way to go unless someone delevops it
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I believe the OTA wouldn't work, or may brick your device. I'd wait for someone to build it so it doesn't try and replace your bootloader or anything

No. Do not take the official 4.4 update. It may brick your phone. Wait for the devs to make a cwm flashable ROM and then flash that.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
The stock OTA in the GPE rom shouldn't even work on our SGH-1337 devices, and if it somehow did manage to work it would probably soft-brick the device. Just wait until 4.4 builds come out for custom roms, it'll probably take a couple months to see a stable release but it'll be worth the wait. On a side note, there is a thread laying around here somewhere with some of the 4.4 apps ripped off a Nexus 5 that will run and function correctly on the 4.2.2 - 4.3.1 builds. I'm using the 4.4 keyboard and I find it a lot more accurate with swipe. :good:
Alright. Now I know. I will definitely wait for the ROMs then.
Thank you so much everyone for answering my question.
Hi guys, first of all I just want to say that I just got back to android. I'm with apple in the past 2 years and just happy to be back here in XDA.
Whew, when I first browse the development section of S4, just wow. there are just so many things, many rom, just overwhelming. I already tried to flash rom back with my LG optimus black years ago, so I can say that I still have background with this stuff.
I'm just confused what forums to follow, as the title says whats the difference between the two? what should I follow?
If there's really anyone kind enough to spoon feed me I will really be grateful.
Anyway my unit is i19505, just updated it to 4.4.2 a while ago. where do I start? how can i root this?
here is how to root gt-i9505 4.4.2 : http://www.ibtimes.com/android-442-...galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-latest-os-tutorial-1558910

Thanks,what about the Difference between Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development and Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original?
the Original Development is Official releases or development of such original ROMs
and the Android Development is Your own or someone “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original source-built

okay okay thanks mate for the quick reply really appreciate it.
any time man we are here to help each other
so which rom do you think is a must try for a newbie like me?
Origanal development contains one own work like cyanogenmod roms , rooting , custom recoveries custom kernels these r completely a work of that developer
Android development contain modifications in stock rom released by samsung so I think these are safe for u as these are close to stock firmwares

I will take CYANOGENMOD 11
