[Q] What the differences? I9505- I9505G - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm interested to buy the I9505G but I do not know how to check that I buy from someone and I do not know if it's a I9505 ROM or not ... Should be listed on the back of fresh or sticker?

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.

Isn't the hardware from a google edition phone exactly the same as i9505 and i337/m?? I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to...

Which S4 to buy ?

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!

Rom flashing

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 definitely not.
If you flash i9505 ROM you will brick your device!

Unfortunately such a ROM doesn't exist. CM based ROM's are the closest you will get to stock Android.
Which one ?

I would try Alberto's GearCM, although he's stopped development on it for now.
Also you can try SlimKat by BlaqueDroid.
