[Q] Galaxy S4 Google Edition ROM 'System Update'

Hi there,
I'm new to ROMs and stuff...actually new to Android. Just switched after many years of iOS...since the start actually.
Basically I've got an S4 and I've put the Google Edition ROM on it. Now it's saying a system update is available and I can't seem to hide it from the notification tray etc.
I read somewhere that if you're using a custom ROM you shouldn't apply system updates? So before I do anything is that true? Should I not install it? If not.... how do I hide the update...
Thanks for your help
Kirk.

This is not the sub-forum for the Galaxy S4 - this is the Galaxy S4 Active forum. The S4 Active is the water-resistant version of the S4; they do not share ROMs and many other respects. The sub-forum you want is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2162
The Galaxy S4 Active has a locked bootloader (the AT&T SGH-i537 version, the International version has been unlocked iirc) and is a completely different beast with respect to ROMs and whatnot compared to the hugely popular S4.

There are MANY models of S4 and some will make your $700 phone a paperweight if you use the wrong software. Make sure you are in the correct device forum. Moved to correct forum.

And I tried Formatting it.

[Q] Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing on note4 while rooting

Hi Fellas,
This is my very 1st post here therefore please excuse me if I cant make my problem clear.
Issue is that I just got Samsung Note4 SM-N910F and tried to root it without knowing much. I googled and tried to do as I understand. I downloaded ODIN and CF-Auto-Root file. I tried to root as it said in website but when I did (Odin said passed in the end of process) my phone resarted and I am getting following messege:-
"Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing"
I tried to go to download mode by pressing down key+on/off button and home button together and it takes me to some place where I can see some text such as :-
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
following my info about my phone but I could not do anything on this screen.
My question is that how I can get out form this **** . I spent 8 hours nonstop to find a cure but could not therefore came here to beg you guys to help me to get me out of this misery.
Please for God sake help me and teach me how I can fix this ???
Thank you !
Imran
