Galaxy S4 i9505 Support

Omnirom on my Galaxy S4 i9505 is easily the best rom i've used, my question is support for the i9505 has ceased since April 7th and the omnirom support thread on xda has been closed.
Can anyone from Omnirom answer my queries as to why this has happened.

unified builds

Where do you download the latest unified build? http://dl.omnirom.org/jfltexx/ still shows the April 7th build as the latest one.

[Q] Where can I find CM11 archives?

I made the mistake of upgrading my s5 to CM12 which was mostly unusable. I want to return to CM11 but the download page only shows the last x releases all of which are CM12. Can anyone tell me where I can find the latest CM11 release for the s5 or perhaps recommend and provide a link to a particularly good stable release
Thanks
Redmonds

Some CM11 builds here

Thanks *detection*.
I actually came across the following post that links to the latest CM11 build. It is apparently an unofficial release but has very good feedback. I will be giving it a try today.

LineageOs for different models of S4

Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 and I am considering installing LineageOs on it.
It would be the first time I root my phone but I'm very interested to learn about all this
It's model is GT-I9505, but I only seem to be able to find a LineageOs version for the GT-I9506 now I was wondering, can't I just install the LineageOs build for GT-I9506 on my device?
If not, why? And what's the difference between the two different S4 models?
I hope I put this in the right place...
Thanks in advance!

Different hardware.
If you install it, then your phone will become a plastic brick, unable to boot and, thus, useless.
Do you want that? I don't think so.
I don't know where you looked for ROMs, but this forum contains several LineageOS and LineageOS based ROMs for the GT-I9505. There are two development sections for the GT-I9505, how about looking at them?

Why give a link to an unofficial portal that can't even get the supported phone models correct?
There is no need to link off-site, XDA has everything you need as @Pwnycorn suggests.
2 * basic ports:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-cyanogenmod-14-1-to-galaxy-s4-i9505-t3520456
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-lineageos-nightly-builds-t3530822
Optimised port:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p/jdcteam-optimized-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3479888

The OP asked for a link and didn't specify an XDA link. I see the basic port links are for unofficial ROMs. Does a link that is not on XDA make it any less stable or usable?

The site you linked suggests that the ROM works on all S4 models (I9500, I9505, I9506), which is obviously wrong.
Now, maybe at some point in that tutorial it links to specific zips for each model and maybe I didn't see it? I don't know, may be. I failed to see it.

I thought the builds for the s4 Qualcomm versions (9505, 337m, etc.) were unified at some point and are collectively referred to as the jfltexx. The links take me to androidfilehost with files for the jfltexx.
I agree that the 9500 should not be included, but the 9505 and 337m are included.
As a test, I flashed TWRP for the 9505 to my i337m and downloaded the latest ROM from the site I linked. I flashed both to the i337m and it works.
Some people may feel more comfortable limiting themselves to XDA links and forums but I am fine with non-XDA links and non-XDA developer forums too.
I'm not looking to start any sort of debate; I was simply trying to provide the OP with some information and easy-to-follow instructions.

SM-G975W Custom Roms

Hi everyone,
I wanted to see if could flash a different rom/try lineage os on my S10+ (SD/Canada) and I've checked everywhere but i can't find a single thread or website where there is support for this phone (or the SM-G975U). Am i just unable to navigate the forum or is there literally no support/custom rom development for these versions?
Thanks

Got my answer.

sheikh03, I am also curious if lineage would work on SM-G975W. Do you mind posting any information you found?

1. You cannot unlock the bootloader yourself but according to this thread there is a way
2. This thread is the lineage OS rom for the SnapDragon Version
The 2nd Thread has a link to the TWRP recovery thread as well.

[CLOSED] S4 SGH-1337M Where do i find the info i am looking for?

Hello. I have a question on where i should be going to find the information i am looking for, or if anyone can provide it to me that would be great.
I have a samsung s4 phone. And the things is, im not sure if i should root, or if i need to root, and would like to know the latest android version i can install on it, of course being aware there is all this information provided from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/s4-unified-collection-guides.4224933/
And because there seem to be so many s4 forums, not sure which one exactly i need to be in to perhaps find this info? and i noticed actual android versions to install are not on that link, is there ones that are recommended official and not official improved/safe?
I found my way here from this video:
I am sick of the multiple apps i can no longer use because of my phone. and im not buying a new one no way can i ever afford one. My phone is unlocked.
So with everything i am looking for is there one area that will cover all of this or in different places, or anyone in the know who would care to share?
Thank you for your help it is much appreciated.

SGH-1337M is jftlecan and is supported by Optimized LineageOS from @side, for example.
Each main ROM page has information about supported models. just expand hidden info.

There is no additional information about my model by expanding. Nothing on that page answers any of the questions I asked earlier. And clicking on my model under rom only brings me to download s4 regular one which only goes up to lollipop. And pretty much no information on the file, just the download itself.
Again I have multiple questions in my initial post.

I have a hard time understanding what you mean. I'm giving you a way to find a custom ROM for SGH-i337M, and you insist that you can't find a ROM for SGH-1337M.
There is no such phone with the code SGH-1337M.
