A few years ago, I was still on the Galaxy S2 but was loving it. I was using an AOSP/TW hybrid ROM meaning that it completely looked like stock KitKat but had the touchwiz framework allowing full use of the camera, remote, mhl ect...
Are there any such ROMs for the Galaxy S4 i9505 jflte?
(This was the ROM for the S2 that I mentioned. If you have an S2, seriously, install this now! http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...chameleon-v3-0-4-samsung-aokp-hybrid-t1847600)

Hi guys,
I'm new to android, but after doing some research, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to use the Touchwiz UI on the Samsung Galaxy S4 I intend to purchase in about a week or so. I have watched a couple videos regarding Cyanogen Mod and the SuperNexus Project that all have the rooted software and mod on a Galaxy S3 or other android device. Because the Galaxy S4 is such a new phone, I haven't see any videos regarding this process on that phone, and when searching it in Google, I find results with search titles that are geared towards S2 or S3 users. Could someone here please tell me if it's possible to install the SuperNexus mods on a rooted Galaxy S4, and if so whether it's the same process or if it is different. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,
So I really want to make my S4 a google edition because the batter will be alot better. However, the only thing stopping me is Samsung awesome Camera. Any ideas? What you all think is it worth it??
Thanks
Definitely go with the i9505. You have the option to flash a GE rom if you really want to and also all the custom Touchwiz roms on offer.
I think you may be able to flash Touchwiz roms on the i9505G but all roms in the i9505 forums flash straight on to the phone without needing any modification to updater-script or kernels.
and IMO Touchwiz is actually really good on battery, certainly better than the GE rom's I've tried but of course that's subject to use
You definitely have more options with the 9505. And actually the ROMs aren't that great. From my experience TW ROMs have the best battery life from all ROMs, GE and CM included.

The i9505G is the Google Edition of the SGS4. At this point it is only able to run Google Edition ROMs which are pretty much stock Android. There are ways to get CM working but you have to modify things to get it working Afaik there are some people working on a TW port for this version.
The i9505 is the official Samsung version which runs TW. But it can also run Goolge Edition ROMs and AOSP based ROMs e.g. CM or PA without any modifications.

I have an international version of the S4, the jfltexx version. I justflashed it with Jamal's 4.3 GE ROM.
Is my device considered i9505G now?
If i want to install a custom recovery, must I get versions that are for i9505G? (I am assuming i9505 version will not work too well now)

No it stays an i9505. The i9505G has a different bootloader etc. So only by flashing a GE ROM on an i9505 you won't get an i9505G.

Hey guys, A new note 3 user here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SM-N900 as seen in my signature, As per my understanding its an exynos note 3 i guess. There are a few things i wanted to ask
1. Is there a custom rom which is more fluid and bloatware free than the stock one, i previously used Dr. Ketan's rom in my other note 3 and i was impressed with it. How is the MIUI one? Will i be able to connect my gear after installing a custom rom?
2. I checked out and found out that the exynos version doesn't have CM, paranoid android, AOKP and the likes. Do they exist for this phone? Or they don't due to the exynos chip?
3. I am unable to connect my gear using the Android wear app. Any solutions
Thanks for your help

First of all, get your information suited up...
If you are using a Galaxy gear(TIZEN OS), you will be able to connect it to every device you want, BUT; only with samsung firmware you will have full function(For example; Samsung apps, mediacontroller, s health etc), the clock is the most you will get . The galaxy gear doesn't work on android wear, it works on the samsung app...
If you have a gear live, Can't say much cause I don't use android wear yet, BUT: wrong choice buddy, you should have gone for the Moto 360
Hello all,
I just bought the Note 3 and i was wondering if the custom roms (specially CM) have the full ability to use the s-pen including the notes and/or other related apps.

thats depend on room itself
most of roms support S-pen ( i dont know if CM support or not cuz my note 3 is Exynos)
may be you should ask in CM threat for Note 3 LTE
Thanks @Saif96,
I was expecting that since the whole idea of the Note series is using the s-pen
Iinstalled CM11 UnofficialbyTesmarek. And no. There is absolutely no support.Because it all needs the Samsung based touchwiz framework....
The pen works absolutely fine. But all samsung based features are missing....You need Samsung based Custom Roms.
Try Echoe Rom (iwill try this next) it looks close to the X-Note Rom which is dead on XDA but search for nonsolosmartphone and X-Note build 20...

Hey,
a few days ago, the polish Galaxy S5 users have got their Android Lollipop Update from Samsung.
Is there actually some dev, how tries to port this rom?
I really like the cm12 roms, but in my opinion TouchWiz works way better on a Samsung phone, then AOSP roms. ^^
