Galaxy S4 (i9505) Rom Questions (Australian Users) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

G'day
I have decided that it's about time to get a custom room booted on my S4 (unbranded) as i've had it stock since launch and haven't really had much need to get a custom one on there, but I have the itch again to get rom(ing).
I was an avid rom user on the S2, but haven't bothered any time after that and I am very much out of the loop.
I have just a couple easy questions that should be easy for you guys to help me out on.
What's the best rom to use to date for this device? Along with a modem for Telstra (4G) and what kernel for battery life etc?
And do i still need to use that little mini usb adapter to remove the Triangle (not sure if this is still present on the s4 as it was on the s2)
:good:

Dual Boot ROMs

Hey everyone, I'm new here and to the world of Android so I apologize for any noobiness in advance. I had an iPhone the past 4 years and just made the switch and bought a new AT&T Galaxy S4.
I was wondering if it was possible to install another ROM on an SD card(I just bought a 64GB one) and have a dual boot, for example the stock Touchwiz and another ROM running side by side.
I saw a few threads on this and searched around before asking, but most were old and for different phones.
Thanks for the help.
Don't think so. Need a recovery/kernel that supports init2.d
It's possible. I had it on my s2. We need a dev to make a recovery that supports it for us.

i9500 vs. i9505 + (Vs. One) + Un-Root & Rom Support

hey guys i know this one discussed like bizllion times but mine had some personal Questions so i will be glad if you take time and answer them
i decided to buy a new S4 (Or HTC One :\ ) but i can't decide between i9500 or i9505 updated news claim that i9505 has better battery life than i9500
and here there is a better Rom Support and Communication in i9505 Section
and although there isn't any particular difference in benchmarks i9500 gets warm after some gaming
+i9500 officially ship here and i9505 is slightly more expensive than that so does it worth that much or not?!
+ i bought a i9500 for my dad last week and i decided to stick with my one x but after that i saw the s4 and decided to fo for it !
and i have another Q and it's that i rooted i9500 but after that i realised that i can't un-root it ( or could i ?) so i downloaded I9500XXUBMEA_I9500OJVBMEA Rom from SAMMOBILE :
1. is that the latest frimware ?!
2.i should install it via ODIN?
3.will it wipe my internal Storage ?
and also as i said before i can't decide between S4 and ONE so any of you that own them both i will be glad to hear your opinions of them both!:cyclops:
Thanks For your patient and answers !

[Q] How to get the Stock recovery for Samsung galaxy S4

Hi everyone..
Well... After i installed the custom recovery in my Samsung galaxy S4 Canada "Rogers", and also flashed the CyanogenMod 10.2. i've got many problems in ma phone and the main one was because i'm not use to CyanogenMod thing. So. i got the Custom recovery "TeamWin" and i want to remove that completely from ma phone and i want to get back to the stock device and stock recovery as well.. Please!
i need the full details from where to get the files and where or how to use Odin with that.. I know i sound creepy but im just new to this whole Galaxy world and i don't know what to do.. all of your help is appreciated and i'll be more than just thankful to each one of you
Please pay attention to the device forum in which you seek help
There are many models of S4 and use of some software will turn your device into a $700 paperweight

[Q] how do I install international roms on my verizon galaxy s4?

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.
