So I've tried to make some sense of it all there are so many variants of S4 out there .I have recently started the hunt for a S4 and I'm looking for one with the unlocked bootloader and trouble free rooting. Which one would that be ?
I9505 you'd need it to be on a 4.2.2 firmware like MGA anything pre KNOX. Also we can flash GE roms so KitKat soon too.

Official MIUI will be available for GT-I9500 soon.
What's MIUI? Imo you should buy the I9505. More rom development for that. But I9500 has better camera slightly and sound and the 8 cores, but no LTE/4G. I have this variant but in my honest opinion I'd say get the I9505.

I9505 I'd say too. More support, roms and you can always flash google edition rom! Plus it has 4g and openGL ES3.0 support on Android 4.3!

Hello guys, Some sellers from amazon are selling the I9500 at 400 bucks. Would you go for it?
Seems too good to be true, however amazon warranty is awesome, I've never had any issues with bad sellers when ordering through them

Rooting and flashing roms can be done easily on the i9500 as well.. I have Omega rom (pre-rooted) and a custom kernel on my i9500.
It's just AOSP roms that aren't available yet, but should be soon enough.
So, if you're into flashing AOSP roms and cannot wait for them to be available, or if you really need 4G, get the i9505.
If you like taking picture (or slow motion videos - 720p on the i9500) or want a slightly faster phone, get the i9500.

In that case, you're probably right.
It does seem to be too good to be true but then again like you said Amazon is pretty. Personally I think it should be legit and you should go for it.

Of course there is an untouched GE 4.3 ROM. Just download it from here:

It's from the i9505 forum, but it is the same phone, and works fine. I am running it myself.
Just make sure you already have a custom recovery on the i337 first. I prefer CWM because it auto loki's your ROMs for you.

Hello I have an s4 i9500 version. But there are so few roms available that is pretty sad. I was wondering if I can flash a rom for the i9505 and change kernel to make it work. I'm wondering if it could work because I saw a video of the HTC One in youtube and the person did something similar between the spring and the International variant. So I'm wondering if will it work

No it cannot be flashed. And what exact features are you talking about?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
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
