If it would be possible, or that simple, somebody would have ported it already, don't you think?
I think it has a lot to do with the processor generation.
The GT-I9506 has Marshmallow TouchWiz ROMs, because the it has the Snapdragon 800 processor, and the S7 has the 820. So they are very close.
The GT-I9505 has the Snapdragon 600 processor, which is a totally different generation, and the GT-I9500 has a completely different processor.

HI there folks,
I am a newborn noob here. Would like to introduce myself.
I have recently bought the first Android device I have ever owned which is the i9500 Octa Core and I am loving it, I have found that Android is 100000000000x999 times better than any other mobile operating system and so I have a huge interest in it. Have been reading about it for a month now and I want to many things to my device but unfortunately can't because the i9500 does not get much love, especially here in South Africa, where Samsung can't even provide us with the latest firmware update.
I really want to root & flash my phone however I don't want to Void my warranty and I know that the Triangle Away app can remove the flash counter however it does not support i9500 Octa yet...
I am an experienced Graphic Designer, have been doing it for 5 years using Photoshop and sometimes CorelDraw, so if anyone would like me to help out with designs for their applications, I don't mind helping out.
I have a lot of knowledge about Computers and Cellphones however not enough about Linux based systems, that is why I am here, to learn, learn and learn.
Also I wanted to ask if I can put Google Stock Android OS 4.2 or 4.3 on my i9500 Octa instead of using Samsung's crappy TouchWiz? Is it possible?

Not possible. Not yet atleast. Doc Rambone is working on porting over the i9505 google edition 4.2.2 rom but we haven't heard from him in a while

If you wanted a lot of developer love (and namely AOSP love) you should have looked into buying/importing an i9505. Sad, but true. DocRambone has successfully ported the Google stock android OS to the i9500 but is fighting bugs. Though the CM team has announced that they've (or one of them at least) gotten an i9500 and will get CM on it.
It's basically like this:
AOSP love = Qualcomm equipped phones or Nexuses
Of course exynos phones can have AOSP love as well, however since there isn't much reference out for the exynos chip (not a single shred of documentation or useful source), getting AOSP to those devices will be hard. The Nexus 10 tablet has exynos 5, though, but it's a different chipset than the one in the Octa S4. Exynos 5250 is the N10 and 5410 in the S4 and both use very different GPU's.
Id like to find out if there are any custom roms for the G900H or if there is anyone that has one that will be customizing the stock rom etc... Kinda sad that there is no one yet Is it because of the CPU???

I am also interested in knowing the answer to this question.. infact the s4 exynos has got the custom roms so will this device follow suit?
Dunno.
Seems people are even less interested this time.
S4 had AndreiLux for custom kernels.

I dont believe that the reason is people not interested. I think its matter of time. First,this is the newest version, and also, the most difficult built with 8 different cores.

Number of cores are completely irrelevant to the difficulty of building a kernel for Exynos. It's all about knowing the platform, the capabilities and what you can and cannot do. Which comes with experience...
It's just a matter that Samsung drove away all developers from Exynos. We used to have really talented devs on this side (Entropy512, Codeworkx, among others), but the lack of support from Samsung and lack of sources for Exynos burned them out.
S4 had AndreiLux, who is an excellent dev with tons of knowledge.
N3 has halaszk, which has done a great job and also brought back features from S4's perseus to the N3.
Don't really expect much for this device. It's not a matter of time, N900 (Note 3 Exynos) doesn't has an AOSP rom and it has been several months now.
I will likely build something when I get time, I frankly want to improve a couple of small things and increase GPU clocks to offset for the lower performance compared to the Adreno 330... but it will take a while, thanks to halaszk's work, I know where to poke.

Will you only build a kernel or a complete rom?? I just so want stock looking custom rom hahahah
Hi guys
Those who have now note 4 which one should I choose
Snapdragon? Or Exynos?
And I want to buy the gear vr
Which one is better with it
The reviews and numbers say that Xenos is better
But developers say that snapdragon is better usually
And is the phone easy to root and deal with?!
And is there some kind of problems with it like every samsung phone that has some kind of common problems?!
Can you guys help me?!
And do you recommend note 4 or should I go with something else?
Thank you
You just murdered the name Exynos...
ON Topic: Choose whatever you like and whatever version is available in your country.
Thread cleaned. Back on topic please.
So back again, I'm asking about the processor which you guys recommend
Exynos or Snapdragon?
i'm willing to use gear VR
And willing to root and use custom ROMs
So I need the best
And if you guys see a common issue with this phone?
And finally, if you guys recommend another phone like Sony Xperia z3!!
thank you in advance
No bother anymore
Hello and welcome.
No problems has arisen since I have had my SGN4. The back cover could line up better I suppose but you can't notice and the screen could have a little less gap around the edges, but once again can't notice.
If you prefer a good DAC, go for the Exynos based device. That's about the best advice I personally can give but here is a LINK with some testing between the two.
I have the Snapdragon version and it's fantastic.

hi thanks for your help
I have read a lot of reviews, but you know a lot of numbers may be good or even great but users and developers may have another opinion, especially in the Exynos and snapdragon subject there was a lot of arguing about how good each of the two, especially I wanna use gear vr and you know about the overheat and the lagging also about the next 64bit and which the exynos deliver better than snapdragon 805!!
That's why I'm searching for the best user experience and the developers opinion too to not stick with a limited number of roms with the lack of support
Thank you, your help is appreciated
only you can decide for yourself, but for me, I chose the snappydragon, better support and more roms here on xda.
First check if the VR is compatible with Exynos, last time I checked (Dec-Jan'ish) it was not supported. Snapdragon has always got the most devs and options because its the most widely used, that's the reason I chose Snapdragon when I had this choice to make.
Devs probably won't reply to this thread either, they are far too busy with real life stuff and development.
The 64bit arguement is not relevant at this stage either, just like it wasn't for PC's for a while.

Oh a shocking info I didn't meet when searching for gear vr!!!!
It works only with snapdragon!!!!
A fast search that says it will work with exynos with the new update android 5.1!!!
But I trust better the one it works with already so I think I will go with snapdragon
And I know developers are busy to answer such thread, but the more important than developers is you guys the people that own the handset and deal with the developers
Thank you again
Enjoy your devices
Hey all, i am thinking of buying a note 4 and in my country they sell both variants the F and the C, I dont care much about custom aosp roms and i would like to ask, the S6 firmware when it comes on what variant it can be ported more easily? If not the whole rom then maybe most of the features?
Thanks
Up!

It's possible but I wouldn't expect to see it for some time. First we need the device. Also the Source for said device/kernel. Also the source for your device your porting to. Then there has to be a developer; with both devices, has time to develop, willing to share it, has not left XDA, and is willing to support and fix any problems. Basically flip a coin. Guess heads or tails. That's your answer.
There is a posibility that we'll get the new touchwiz UI in a later update..5.1 maybe.
That is why i am asking, to me as i understand N910C is the more powerful CPU, i don't play many games so for me its my first choice, but in terms of support we all know that the exynos doesn't have any sources, so i am asking if and when the S6 comes, will i get the ported touchwiz hypotheticaly or the snapdragon version is easier way to be ported?
I haven't found one of the ROMs for the i9500 to be free of bugs. Sound or Bluetooth or a loop at the first reboot... And if you want a ROM free of the Samsung rubbish, they are even more buggy.
And it doesn't look like anything new is coming because so few people still use this phone.
Very very sad.
Blame it on samsungs policy of not releasing exynos sources bro..its really great that development has come this far..thanks to all our devs who made sure the device stays alive with latest stuff..
Having tried multiple roms , cm 12,12.1 etc and fed up with the battery and mic bugs , I'm back to stock rom . Yes I agree the developers work hard and their efforts are commendable, and the i9500 falls behind due to the fact that Samsung does not release the exynos source codes , making the roms incomplete (mic , voip voice , camera and battery backup problems) .

Even the devices like gs3,gs2,grand etc.. are getting latest updates like marshmallow but s4 (i9500) is still waiting maybe i think we dont even taste the latest android..and thatz a bitter truth
