Stock Android 5.0 for I337?

Has there been any news from Samsung about whether the I337 will get an official Android 5.0 update, and what new features that would bring?

For now, there aint no Lollipops for gs4 users. You can flash the LotsofL Rom in the general forum. It is made to be as similar to the Android L

Marshmallow is here. So, what now about development ?

Official MM is finally here. Now what about rom's development ? Are there good perspective?

Once the source is released it will really help the cm13 based roms. But that's probably still a little ways off.

It's not official marshmallow, it's still a beta.

Beta mean it's not final rom but is official because it was release by ASUS...

Stock I9505 (rom) with 6.0.x?

Does anyone happen to know if a stock rom exists for the i9505 with 6.0.x? I'm not talking about CM13 or AOSP related roms, stock. I'm unsure if samsung ever got to update their firmware to 6.x version for the S4 devices.

5.0.1 is latest and last:

No, it won't.
Except, ported ROMs (but with small chance)

5.0 or 6.0.1

Just got my S5 g900f! It's on 5.0, I want to load CM. Should I leave on 5.0 or upgrade to 6.0.1? Does it make difference?

Why would you not just go to Nougat?

CM 14 is out? Or did you mean stock Samsung TW?

Not yet. Still unofficial builds for now.
As for 5.0 vs. 6.0, 6.0 is definitely the better stock ROM choice for battery life and overall smoothness.
CM13 has some battery drain issues in the latest builds.

CM14.1 works great for me. No problem with BT or anything else.

Thanks so Sounds like upgrade to 6.0 prior to installing CM?

Yes.
Always best to upgrade the bootloader to the latest before flashing any custom ROM.

Thanks all for the help. Rooted it, installed TWRP, then installed CM13 and gapps. So far do great. Everything seems very smooth. This is still a capable phone isn't it?

S8 running Marshmallow

Is it possible to downgrade the S8 to the marshmallow firmware?

This device was not released with Marshmallow Firmware, so I would say no.

I could be wrong but downgrading is pretty much impossible with most Android phones.
