Can anyone please tell me the best ROM to use to get as close to the Lollipop UI and features. I am using the Galaxy S4 I337 AT&T with safestrap. Most ROMS that I have tried will not work or wont boot up. Is there any Lollipop ROM's for the 9505 that will work, cause I know that some roms will work for the I337. Thanks averyone!

No lollipop will work until it's released officially for the ATT S4. Then safestrap will needed updated to work. Then you'll have a custom ROM with lollipop.

What about a port from the 9505? I know I cannot get the official Lollipop, but something that looks similar.

No. There doesn't exist a lollipop tw kernel that will work with your bootloader.

There are GPE lollipop ROMs for the s4 (I'm using both) but they won't work on safestrap.

So far the closest thing I can find to Lollipop is Goldfinger 9.0. It is a pretty nice ROM and WiFi works as well!

The Omega roms are EXCELLENT, there are two versions of it one for the i9500 series
and the other for the i9505. If you have a i9505 phone do not try flashing the i9500 rom
or you will get a soft brick or worst and if your phone is a i9500 do not flash i9505 roms.
Touchwiz 4.3 roms are still very experimental and you will have many issues with it if you flash it.
You will end up flashing a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom rom.
But it's up to you.
If you don't mind having issues with the phone and if you like experimenting that's a different story.
All in all the Omega 4.2.2 based Jellybean rom is what I would prefer, everything in it works great
and is flawless. It has all the bells and whistles which make the galaxy s4 such a great phone.
Here is the link for the Omega v12 custom rom for the i9505 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
And here is the link for the Omega v14.1 custom rom for the i9500 phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887
Be sure to flash the right one for your phone & before flashing make a nandroid backup & be sure to do a full wipe before flashing.
Good luck!

I am just guessing since you posted in the i337 section this is what you have. Plus if you wait a bit I read VisionX (Ax) is gonna put out a 4.3 rom today for the i337.

If you have a i747 you are in the wrong forum for downloading roms.
None of the Samsung Galaxy S4 roms will work with a Samsung i747 phone.
The i747 phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone which means that none of the roms
found in any of the Samsung Galaxy S4 forums or threads would be compatible with it.
So in other words my original post has nothing to do with a Galaxy S3 i747 phone.
The i9500 and or the i9505 roms will work with your i747 phone.
All questions regarding Galaxy S3 i747 belong in the Galaxy S3 forums and threads.
Good luck!
Sorry I knew what I was saying and MEANT i337. I was just in the i747 thread and must have had my old S3 on my brain... Old Mans brainfart.
So to reiterate if you have a i337/m do NOT flash the international i9500 as it will probabky brick your device. You shoukd be able to flash the i9505 international though. Or like I was trying to say Ax from the i337 forum is going to be posting a 4.3 international i9505 based rom today. Sorry for the mixup from above but it still stands... DO NOT flash the exyernos model i9500 firmware... period. You may be okay with i9505
I edited the above comments so it doesnt give out wrong info to future readers. I replaced my brain farted i747 comments baxk to where my brain should have been thinking to i337

So to be very clear. As a user stuck with mf3, root obtained, and running safestrap I can use the new i9505 based 4.3 tw rom axman is about to release? The fact that its based on the mj5 only denotes that it is for the i9505 correct?

I just recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s4.i purchased it the other day and it's running MK2 I was able to use safe root to do so. I also have safe boot installed as a recovery. My question is, how can I install aosp roms? I couldn't find any information on this. The only roms safe boot supports is stock. Where do I go from here? I am new to s4 so please be nice. Thank you so much.

Its to bad you didn't get the S4 back when it was released or earlier last summer when it was shipping with MDL firmware. This firmware allowed us to use loki and install any custom rom we want, including pure kitkat. Maybe you can trade your new one for an MDL one.
Well. ... Is there a way that I could downgrade my firmware and root from there?

I wish you could. Devices running MF3 firmware or higher blew an eFuse when they upgraded from MDL firmware. There is no way back. AT&T and Samsung are doing everything possible to make it so we can't root or flash custom recoveries. It's beyond disgusting how much AT&T goes out of its way to stop us from getting into our own devices.
I'd recommend not purchasing the AT&T branded devices from here on out. Let's hope that the international version of the s5 supports AT&T's LTE bands.
Hello,
I have an AT&T S4 that I want to run on Tmobile. It was running Android 4.3/MF3 baseband so I was able to install safestrap and root it. I am running the stock rooted ROM (with SIM unlock via region lock away) and the QCN file update to get 4G LTE/HSPA and 3G.
I would like to install a custom ROM but each time I do I get a bootloop. I am installing via safestrap in a slot I created NOT the stock rom slot. But as I said each time I try to boot I get a boot loop and have to return to the stock rooted rom via the stock rom slot. I got wicked rom to load but Wifi didn't work.
Am I able to install tmobile ROMS on this device (I want to be able to tether)? How do I do that? Which kernel do I use, the ATT or tmobile kernel? Do I install the ROM in the stock slot or the safestrap virtual slot?
I don't want to wind up with a device I cannot use on tmobile. Also, my computer does not see the S4 any longer. It sees my Note 3 fine but when I plug in the S4 it doesn't show as a device.
Which custom rom were you attempting to install? Was it a 4.2.2 touchwiz rom?

I'm running 4.3 so does that mean I can only run 4.3 ROMS in the virtual slot?
My baseband ends with MF3 and my build number ends in MK2. What are my opitons?

If your build number is MK2, you're on 4.3. You need Safestrap 3.71, and you can only run other 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs. Kernel doesn't matter because Safestrap does not flash kernels. You should be fine flashing any TMobile 4.3 TW ROM.

You can flash ROMs from any variant, they just may not work as well and you have to make sure you flash a kernel that matches your phone afterwards (Tmobile rom, but kernel from AT&T section)

Hi guys,
I would like to flash my AT&T galaxy s4 with an European stock Rom (preferably french). Until now, I didn't succeeded.
My phone is rooted.
I have attached a screenshot of my phone details.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Looks like you still have the MDL firmware which is a good thing. Do NOT update your phones firmware or you won't be able to flash certain things. Just get root with MotoChopper and Loki in its thread. Then you can flash a ROM that will have the French language installed or can be installed.
OK now to hopefully answer your question I would suggest something like ShoStock-i 7.0 as it is based off International firmware KitKat 4.4.2 which will bring you to one of the newest firmwares and not lock down your bootloader further. It may have the French language installed. I will check to see.
Otherwise you would need to find some dev that could port a French based firmware to the i337 for you. But whatever you do, DO NOT flash any STOCK Firmwares to get the updated KitKat firmware. You would be sorry you did.

Thanks RockRatt for your answer and advises. I ll have a look on this rom. My phone is already rooted and i have flashed tge loki too.
So this means that it isn't possible to install a clean stock rom in order to transform my at&t into an international model. I tought it could be possible since they apparently share the same hardware.

Unfortunately no, the bootloader is locked (even with the Loki bypass). Where the i9505 bootloader was not locked.
If you were to flash a stock French firmware (it would most likely fail to flash at all) it could brick your phone.
Since we have locked bootloaders it does limit some things, but not much since you have the Loki bypass and can use real recoveries to flash almost anything. Good luck

4.4.4 GPE battery drain and hiding app issue
Hi RockRatt,
I ve finally flashed it with the 4.4.4 GPE on my phone every is working perfectly except 2 things:
Battery drain : 50% in 2 hours
Impossible to make work properly pictures, sms & calls hiding app (Hide Pictures - Hide it Pro). I ve read that since 4.4+ it's a known issue.
I was wondering if you have any idea to solve those issues.
I have already create a post for those issues but i tought you may be helpful on those matters.
Thanks for your advises
Sorry I have never tried the GPE Roms. I have just stuck with Touchwiz based Roms since it works great for me, works with my Gear 1 perfectly

Right now it is not possible to run AOSP/AOKP ROMS even with SS. We can only run TouchWiz based and GPE ROMs.
