Galaxy S4 - General Paranoid Android Discussion

Hello
I am looking specifically for the PA Galaxy "S4 Verizon global" port. This link is the closest I have gotten to anything that looks like a DL for PA. "https://sites.google.com/site/unofficialparanoidandroid/home-1" Sadly I am not seeing which of the HAMMERHEAD, or MAKO would be stable specifically for the S4VW. If there is a forum for PA S4 pleas link it here so I can study it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The are device specific forums on xda
Search for you device and go to the Android Development section and see if there is a development thread for PA
Officially PA supports nexus and oppo devices and their actual download site is http://download.paranoidandroid.co

your awsem
thank you very much

In addition, all the devices you see on the official site are nexus devices, and none of them will work for your s4. The names such as hammerhead, mako, etc refer to the code name of a nexus device

Verizon S4 (jfltevzw) has a "legacy" (maintained by several in conjunction with PA team) 4.3 and 4.4 release available.
4.3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291740
4.4 I saw before but can't seem to find it. Notta was working on it and I've suggested he work with PA Legacy team to get it included in their repos. If not I will be adding it into the others that I'm handling.

[p1010] Compatiable Custom Rom for p1010

Hi Guys,
Can somebody point out what are the compatiable Custom ROM for p1010...
I am looking for best custom ROMS ..

Well, just the CleamROM,
Motafoca said that will port cyanogenmod 9, but this will take a time.

This is correct. CleanROM is the only "non-stock" ROM available for the 1010 and technically is not a "Custom" ROM. It is based upon a "Stock" Gingerbread firmware with some "bloat" removed and some theme's added. Also, Scott from Scottroms (the developer of CleanRom) I believe has sold his Galaxy Tab and will not be providing future updates.
Motafoca is indeed working on a CyanogenMod (CM) build for the P1010 but to my knowledge he is the ONLY developer doing so. Let's all wish him luck and support him in his journey because once he is successful it will open the door to other developers.
FYI, I have created an in-depth thread specifically for the GT-P1010 that can be viewed HERE.
I will be updating that thread and adding the details above to it. My hope is that we can all discuss our "forgotten" P1010's in that thread so as to be able to find all the information more easily.
I'm one of the testers of motafoca. And well, actually, we are trying to ort cyanogenmod 7.2, but the zip doesnt works, p1010 is a little complicate. And motafoca is working on 4 devices at same time. Soo its hard. I think that in march we finish with cyanogenmod 7.2 (note: the biggest problem is do a flashable rom of cyanogenmod, after that, is just pick the drivers of gingerbread from the source)
Thanks Guys for that information...

One source for finding all the latest Galaxy Note custom ROMS

Alright everyone, Angelos from www.roms-db.com contacted me.
And i'm happy to let you know that after high demand, he's in the final
stages of adding Galaxy Note roms to his database of custom roms http://galaxynote.roms-db.com.
He would greatly appreciate it if everyone could check out his site and give some feedback if any information is wrong or missing. Also when there are any updates not mentioned (for example the android version (4.0.3
...))
The site for the Galaxy Note roms is http://galaxynote.roms-db.com
Thanks Angelos!
I would appreciate it if a moderator could make this a sticky since it's going to be a great help to the forum and the members/cooks!
Cheers!
excuse my curiosity, but what would be the benefits of that site compared to sammobile and dr ketan's thread?

If you check his site and see for yourself you'll understand. It's nothing like ketan's thread which only lists the official Samsung roms. I'm talking about custom roms updated daily. If you try searching for updated roms you'll find them in just a sec. It's easier for us it's easier for the cooks and it's a great way to find all the roms meant for your specification's (Touchwiz, CM9, MIUI, GB, ICS, JB, etc...) since his site is being updated daily and has the most complete package on all the roms available for HTC HD2, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation and HTC EVO 4G. Why not Galaxy Note? Anyway, he told me he might do it if more people would like this new feature, why would anyone say no?
Nice site and very well organized

Thanks Everyone

I've added this thread in the development section, so it would be good if a moderator could close this one.

[Q] Lost when it comes to "unified"

Hey all,
I am looking around this forum and I see a ton of ROMs. I am a little confused about what Unified means. Does that mean any ROM should work on any Note 3? Or do I have to make sure it says hlte somewhere in the description? (I have the Sprint variant). So many ROMs to try, just want to avoid problems. Thanks!

CyanogenMod has de-unified their builds. Branching into hlte - hltespr and hltevzw. I don't know if this is also the case with TW-based ROMS. Better read carefully the instructions or better yet just browse through Galaxy Note 3 Sprint section of xda dev. You should find everything that's compatible with your device there.

Originally CyanogenMod had seperate builds of Note 3 CM ROMs, but then they decided to merge all model specific CM's together to make "hlte". This is their so-called "unified build".
"hlte" is the Note 3, however there's no such thing as "hlte", as models are classified as "hltexx" (N9005), "hltespr" (N900V), "hltevzw" (N900S), "hltecan" (N900W8), "hltetmo" (N900T), "hlteatt" (N900A). As they all have the abbreviation "hlte", CM took those four letters out and created a build that works for all variants (if applicable on the device).
When the de-unified their builds, they created an "hlte" build but for the specific device that fits it's drivers and set up. I believe they did this in order to stabilize their builds. When they unified them all, I read somewhere that the video drivers caused issues leading to random reboots - even if this isn't so, unification and sharing of common drivers isn't always the best, you would want model specific drivers to take full advantage of your device, and to eliminate common problems that appear on different models of the device.

Only for CM and not TW.

Omni for i9505

I found it strange there is no thread for Omni in development forum? There was a thread but abandoned since there was no maintainer for the device. But since then unified builds happened, and i9505 /jfltexx has been mentioned as a device supported by the updater script:
https://github.com/omnirom/android_device_samsung_jflte/blob/android-4.4/BoardConfig.mk#L129
Is here anyone who uses the ROM as a daily driver, or anyone who has checked it in the last time, to share experience with us? I'm downloading it right now, and will try to find time tomorrow to check it.
The reason is that the thread is under 'Unified' subforum, where also other AOSP ROMs like Octo, Nameless, PA are. Strange CM isn't there too...

LineageOs for different models of S4

Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 and I am considering installing LineageOs on it.
It would be the first time I root my phone but I'm very interested to learn about all this
It's model is GT-I9505, but I only seem to be able to find a LineageOs version for the GT-I9506 now I was wondering, can't I just install the LineageOs build for GT-I9506 on my device?
If not, why? And what's the difference between the two different S4 models?
I hope I put this in the right place...
Thanks in advance!
Different hardware.
If you install it, then your phone will become a plastic brick, unable to boot and, thus, useless.
Do you want that? I don't think so.
I don't know where you looked for ROMs, but this forum contains several LineageOS and LineageOS based ROMs for the GT-I9505. There are two development sections for the GT-I9505, how about looking at them?

Why give a link to an unofficial portal that can't even get the supported phone models correct?
There is no need to link off-site, XDA has everything you need as @Pwnycorn suggests.
2 * basic ports:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-cyanogenmod-14-1-to-galaxy-s4-i9505-t3520456
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-lineageos-nightly-builds-t3530822
Optimised port:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p/jdcteam-optimized-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3479888
The OP asked for a link and didn't specify an XDA link. I see the basic port links are for unofficial ROMs. Does a link that is not on XDA make it any less stable or usable?

The site you linked suggests that the ROM works on all S4 models (I9500, I9505, I9506), which is obviously wrong.
Now, maybe at some point in that tutorial it links to specific zips for each model and maybe I didn't see it? I don't know, may be. I failed to see it.
I thought the builds for the s4 Qualcomm versions (9505, 337m, etc.) were unified at some point and are collectively referred to as the jfltexx. The links take me to androidfilehost with files for the jfltexx.
I agree that the 9500 should not be included, but the 9505 and 337m are included.
As a test, I flashed TWRP for the 9505 to my i337m and downloaded the latest ROM from the site I linked. I flashed both to the i337m and it works.
Some people may feel more comfortable limiting themselves to XDA links and forums but I am fine with non-XDA links and non-XDA developer forums too.
I'm not looking to start any sort of debate; I was simply trying to provide the OP with some information and easy-to-follow instructions.
