[Q] flash xxuena6 from xxuena2? possible?

Hi guys, I just flashed a xxuena2 stock 4.4 kitkat rom via odin and was wondering if it was possible for me to flash a xxuena6 rom (the polish kitkat rom) over it
The main reason being, I think the xxuena2 baseband is whats stopping me from installing a custom rom - but I have no idea

The baseband is NA2 and the build number is NA6 they're one and the same afaik.
As for installing a custom ROM well you can install NA6 based ROMs only like flexkat, sweetrom kingdroid and crashrom. But not CM or older builds of said ROMs.

Has anyone successfully (without losing any phone features) installed GPE Kitkat on Canadian Samsung S4?

The rom by Danvh works with i337m, if you mean by phone features, functionality them no you don't loose anything if you mean software wise, there is a bi of different since GPE is not touchwiz based.

2nd vote for Danvh's ROM, I've been using it on my Canadian i337m for months with no issues.

It's risky and not recommended. Apart from whether it would work well, you could brick your phone. Which can be difficult and ocassionally, not possible to recover from.
There simply isn't a lot of reliable information about flashing firmware from other variants.
I won't encourage you to do it, but I would speculate that it's possible. That NFC and a few other things would stop working and that it would be a pointless exercise. You'd also run a moderate risk of bricking your phone. You could reduce that by only flashing the ROM, not the kernel or modem. And in particular if you find the appropriate 900F PIT file and flashed it concurrently.
No warranties, guarantees or anything else. If you proceed, don't say that you weren't warned.
What stands out though is that you omitted a crucial and highly relevant datum. Why? What are you hoping to achieve in doing this?

No you cant. Its like trying to install to install XP windows program on W8

What's on the stock F firmware that's not on the stock W8 that you need ? If you flash a ROM your Basebaband will stay W8 but your phone version will change. Right now i am using XtreStoLite, my model shows a G900T, my baseband is still a W8 ( i'm in Montreal ) and the SE status is enforcing a 900F.

So you flashed a G900T over a G900W8?
My case its a G900W8 (Rogers) and a just want a Multi-CSC option, because I`m live in Brazil and want use the ZTO CSC (for Portuguese, etc). My question: The rom needs be specific to support W8 variant or a 900F can be flashed over TWRP ?
I tested with CM12.1 Nightly, works well, not specific. Just KLTE version. My desite is just a stock version with multilanguage support To my dad usage.

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

Not sure if true, but http://androidspin.com/2014/11/03/android-lollipop-samsung-galaxy-s4-confirmed-coming-early-2015/

[Q] Official S4 GPE ROM compatible with i9505/i377/M

Can someone direct me to a 4.4.4 GPE ROM, official for the S4 GPE not a port that I can flash on a i9505.
If there is no 4.4.4 what would be the latest one.
Rooted if possible.
Also is it true that GPE ROMs have better camera quality than other non-TW ROMs?
Thanks.

There is non, why do you think it's ported?

Unless your phone model is I9505G there is no official GPE ROM. Danvdh's GPE ROM in the I9505 Development section is about as close as you're going to get.

By port I meant port from non s4 devices. Also Davids ROM is lollipop, I want to stay on KK.
Thanks.

I think he also worked KitKat version.

@GDReaper: He did.
@OP: Danvdh should still have an Android 4.4.4 version of the GPE ROM available at his site, ported from the S4 GPE to the I9505.
