I got a S5 that is running 5.0 lollipop and i really dislike the UI and new "features" installed on it. I loved jelly bean but cannot find any 4.3 firmware for the S5 in particular. The closet I could find was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619113 but its for S4. Any one know of something similar for the S5? Also first post.
Bro the S5 did not come on Jelly Bean so doubt it you will find a JB rom, earliest you"ll get is 4.4.2 KK, tbh its not far off from J.B. Good luck

Better off trying to theme to JB, downgrading isn't a good idea, the UI isn't the only thing that got changed and security patches rarely if ever get backported.

I love AOSP roms like PA and Cyanogenmod . I hate touchwiz So I was very disappointed when I didn't find any roms AOSP for my galaxy s4 I9500 . I've noticed that the i9505 version is already enjoying the vanilla . So why is this ? I though the international version is the most important version just like the galaxy s3 i9300.
Can someone give more detail on this issue?

CM devs said it's a no go for the exynos chip which is in OCTA core i9500. The snapdragon i9505 will have official CM. I'm sure exynos may just as well.
There will be some one able to do in coming days just have to wait
I've saw this article http://androidfannetwork.com/2013/0...laxy-s4-i9500-is-not-getting-custom-rom-love/
According to the article it's very unlikely we gonna see AOSP roms for i9500 because Samsung will never release the octa 5 sources for the developers.
After reading about it I guess I'll sell my s4 i9500 for the i9505 ....

we recommend since more than over a year to not buy exynos powered phones if you want to run aosp based roms.

You obviously didn't notice that the article links to files from XDA. This is a ported ROM. The Google Edition is the GT-I9505, not the 9500. Samsung will likely never release properly functioning userspace drivers, etc. for the Exynos, so anything that CM devs do to get things working will be, at best, polishing the turd that Samsung leaves the AOSP community.
damn i am so mad... HTC One getting 4.3 today .. Samsung delaying 4.3 surely to sell out Note III with 4.3
anyone knows when the rollout gonna start?
I read somewhere that they said 4.3 comes in October ... why you need 4.3 so badly?
Welcome to the world of Samsung. Also, please ask your questions in the QUESTION and answer section.

It's coming as expected in October.

Actually there will be changes..... From Knox Sh#$Ft to other bootloader lockdowns.
That's the biggest concern trying to get 4.3 without updating the bootloader

Use cm 10.2 and you got Android 4.3 without touchwiz
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Looks like when Samsung do an update to 4.3, it's probably going to have this new secure boot loader with the Knox security. I'd rather stay with a GE ROM for now for 4.3, as it's cleaner and doesn't have this problem. As least if something goes wrong, I can revert to stock and keep my warranty. So personally, Samsung can keep their full TW crap firmware lol
May be the end of October

Or the end of this year, ya all remember the leaked Galaxy S3 firmwares still no official v4.2.2 for S3 -.-'
Sent from my GT-I9505 using app: XDA Premium and rom: CgoastINC Rom v13
i think that owners of a i9500 will have more roms, maybe even a oficial cyanogenmod...
surely with the S4 being a flagship phone they will keep it up to date in line with the Note 3. like people say though, the worry is getting 4.3 and 4.4 etc without any Knox junk or locked bootloaders etc. Been there with locked bootloaders with HTC and i dont want to go back there again!!

There's never going to be a stable release of CM for the 9500 for the same reason as the 9300: Exynos.

You will probably find a custom 4.4 rom when it is pushed to the SG4 GPe

You're new so I'll only ask you to re-read the forum rules, and pay attention to eta's
If you have a google edition phone, then you are going to get the 4.4 update soon, Patience Grasshopper!

Is there anyways to get Samsung apps on a custom ROM? I find that while the 4.4.2 Roms generally work great, that lack of SApps and especially the one hand functionality, really reduce how great these Roms can be.
Or is the best bet just to root Samsung's Roms?
Thanks in advance.

I think he is referring to AOSP 4.4.2 ROMS.
For the OP, I don't think it is possible, and believe me, I am in the same position as you are, whether use the boring Samsung ROM with all those features or to use nice looking 4.4.2 ROMs with no Samsung features
Why wouldn't it be possible? Aren't the Samsung apps just apks that can be extracted? Or is it all based only on touch wiz?
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its based on the touchwiz framework. Yeah, it's apks and you might be able to install them but they might either not start up, work properly or not be able to install.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Apks require TWiz framework to work which is impossible to get in AOSP ROMs. AFAIK, MIUI is the only custom ROM which supports SApps.
What is the best way to get the S5 features on the l720? Can the new sacs v4 note 3 rom be flashed to our device ?

No it cannot be flashed. And what exact features are you talking about?

Looking for a theme or room that includes some of the new s5 apps. I've read through some posts that have ported apps, but most are not listed under the sprint s4.
Would I be better sticking with installing apps I can on my current nae rom or I believe the sacs rom was updated to 4.3 for the s4
