Hi all,
I currently have a Nexus 4 but there are a few things I don't like with it and I want to have stock Android so I am thinking about switching to the S4.
But since the Google Play Edition is not available in my country in Europe, is it possible to flash that rom and get the same experience on the regular S4 and use 4G on the phone?
Any help is really apreciated many thanks!
Hey for the i9505 there is a Stock Android 4.3 Rom.
Hi - I've got a brand new GS5 ... wondering if there is a way to Flash plain ol' stock android on this device?
If it is not possible now, would it become possible if/when the Google Play Edition GS5 becomes available?
Thanks,
Uhmm...

Hello,
I was wondering if, since the official Lollipop rom is available for AT&T since last week for the G900A.
I wanted to know if it is possible to install the Touchwiz rom from AT&T in my cricket galaxy S 5 ?
Because I am afraid that Cricket will never release Android Lollipop (I still have Android 4.4.2 ...)
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Edit: I asked Cricket and they will , with high probability, NOT update their devices to lollipop !
Hello XDA ,
As you can see I have a big problem. I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon and I left the country. Now, I want to use it where I live and I have fixed the SIM card problems but I want to run the original S4 I9500 ROM and not the Verizon one, as i suspect the Verizon one causes problems. Can I do that? As the devices are the same but the one i have is from verizon and has a different model number.
I (my wife) has the same phone, I managed to root it and tomorrow I will try to flash twrp and look if I can get cm14 on it. Stupid Verizon ROM....
Late reply I know... Merry Christmas
Hello,
I recently bought an S5 Active off of Ebay and I'm using the bring your own phone plan on cricket wireless. Currently my phone is on 4.4.2 kit kat, and I know that lollipop has been released for a while, but my phone tells me that it is up to date. Is there any way I can update? I'm completely new to the world of ROMS and all this other stuff, so any help would be appreciated!
I asked this question on toms hardware and got a response saying
"definitely do not upgrade your phone over the air if you have 4.4.2 and it is a galaxy s5.
s5's that are on 4.4.2 kitkat are not bootloader locked and are highly desireable in aftermarket sale. your best bet if you "want" lollipop is to root and do a custom rom like cyanogen 12/13. i think there is even a 6.0 marshmellow rom too.
otherwise if you upgrade to stock over the air 5.0+ you will be bootloader locked, unable to ever revert back to kitkat, and unable to root and do a custom rom. 9 months later and nobody has cracked the bootloader and at this point it is likely nobody ever will with 6.0 marshmellow around the corner.
because of that your phone is probably worth $50-100 more than a 5.0+ s5 for that reason... there are those out there that would love to get their hands on your phone and root it and will pay more since you are still on kitkat and fully unlocked."
Honestly, I have no idea what that means so if anybody could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!
