I'm currently running CM 11 nightlies and have a custom recovery on my i9506, but would love to play around with the stock ROM. The thing is it's a pain to use other programs to "factory restore" the device (erasing the custom recovery, having to work out how to root it again, stripping out a bit of bloat/knox).
Do you guys know if anyone's released a flashable .zip of the stock 4.4.x TouchWiz ROM which is pre-rooted, knox removed and ready to tweak?
I would ask in the i9506 forum but I don't want to clutter it with non-ROM threads.
Thanks guys.

Hello! I am running 4.3 MK2 on my galaxy s4 and I want to root and use a custom ROM. I understand that you must use safestrap and I am trying to consider my options for roms. I found This ROM which is based on the Google Edition, but has some AOSP features. Would I be able to install this ROM safely using safestrap because it is based on the Google Edition instead of AOSP? I have done a little searching around and haven't been able to find a clear answer about this.
No, you can only install 4.3 Touchwiz roms. 4.3 Google editions rom may eventually work, but currently seems to only cause bootloops.
The install process for ROMS located in the android original development threads seem to be different than installation for roms in the Unified development section. It seems the unified roms require a custom recovery like TWRP to be installed (which I do not/ cannot have). Do the unified roms work with safestrap like the original roms do? Is it possible to install CM based roms on my s5 with safestrap?
Can someone explain the difference in the installation process? For this example, lets use stock based tw 5.0 BOC4 (from original development) and CM12 (from unified).
Furthermore, can someone explain how I would go from stock based tw 5.0 BOC4 to CM12 and back again?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I have a question about choosing a custom ROM. My phone was running android 4.4.2 before I started flashing custom roms with TWRP. I have flashed a custom rom based on 4.4.2 (CM11) and 5.1.1 (CM12.1). I saw a custom rom based on 4.3 that I was interested in trying. Am I able to flash the 4.3 rom (after a factory reset of course)?
Sorry if this is a newb question, but I really dont want to destroy my phone doing something stupid.
Thanks!
Hey guys, i searched for a flashable zip of a stock ROM but couldn't find any. Is there any and maybe could stock ROM be flashable through mobile odin? I've never used mobile odin so i don't know. Also, unrelated Q, is there any ROMs that support fingerprint scan? I mean ROMs in Android development section, the stock based roms. And if yes, are there any 5.1.1 based stock roms that do?
Hi, i'm sorry if this thread seems noobish but i just got my s5(sm-g900f) today and i'm new to these things.. I want to keep my stock rom while having xposed installed on it. I've read that it causes bootloops on stock rom so there are some unofficial version for deodexed roms... I don't know how to extract my stock rom to use in these automatic tools that deodex it.. Can anyone help?
