I can't speculate on how the phone actually gets the ROM update and/or how the almighty Google gods know which device it is, but I do know that when people got their LG Optimus G's running the Nexus 4 software, they were able to pull down OTAs from Google directly.

I don't know why anyone is surprised about price and features. Samsung is not going to alienate the carriers that sell 99% of their phones.

running 4.3 just keep the stock kernel from the flash, make sure you use a method to auto-loki it afterwards :good:

no root methods currently working but very smooth and stable, not sure if I can tell what has changed though :confused:

Its that the firmware from sammobile

Nvm its working now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
flash via TWRP right? damn didnt expect this yet. think ill wait till its rooted. i do use smart stay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
As a proud AT&T GS4 owner, do we still have to use the KT-SGS4 kernel or can we just do the 4.3 ROM zip by itself? I'm not a huge fan of using 3rd party kernels if I don't have to :) thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aqua1ung:
I'd be interested to know that too.

As I'm still playing catch up (noob), this is what I found about loki doki. So, I'm going to do a wipe, flash the 4.3, then loki doki, then reboot. I'll let you know.

It's working pretty good, but is anyone having any luck with Google Wallet? It just says "Google Wallet has stopped" whenever I try to open it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dankchild:
I flashed the M3Dd0G Google Edition ROM and the KTGS4 TW kernel last night right after he posted it. I can report that the following are working flawlessly:

WiFi

Bluetooth

LTE

IR Blaster

Sensors

Camera

Wallet (it detected root, but appears to functional. No errors.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doug0365:
Dam I don't know now if I should just cancel my google edition phone and just buy the At&T on again.. which will give me the option to buy the black model and with 32gb.. I originally returned it thinking that the google edition would be worth it but I guess everyone is reporting good things with flashing the google GE rom on there current device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
... well you'd still get a "true" unlocked bootloader, if you aren't in to the whole loki thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Matridom:
I think the only issue with the AT&T one is the locked bootloader and needing LOKI and how the newer firmware versions are locking out the LOKI exploit.

I have an i377m and got the GE rom working flawlessly, there was a hiccup due to the kernel, but now it's all fixed up and it's like i got my galaxy nexus back.. only faster :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doug0365:
The LOKI exploit being eventually be patched was was another thing for me to justify me getting the GE edition but I don't think to many people are concern with that one. I was looking for a stability out of the box with a pure google experience but people are reporting good things. Plus I'm wondering if the GE edition will give you the option to install TW roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Matridom:
I don't know what the future holds, however the current GE ROM has the touchwiz framework already. So importing touchwiz apps does work. The 4.3 rom floating around does NOT have touchwiz framework. However the 4.3 is a developers version, so who knows what will get released to the s4's when they get updated. Will the rom's be interchangeable? who knows. so far, the answer seems to be yes.

I'm going to put this phone through it's paces this weekend, I'll report back on how stable it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toxicpaulution:
The 4.3 froze on me and I had to do a battery pull so I figured I'd hope back to the GE for now. Also apex launcher didn't work either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] neodoru:
Is anyone having issues with his phone getting detected by windows (8)? Did you guys use certain drivers?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Matridom:
Had to use a different kernel, the one included in the Rom has bugs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] artisticcheese:
Can somebody who has a phone or has ROM tell me how notification and quick settings pull down looks like. Is it like on cyanogenmod or it still has Samsung style pull downs with settings on both pull downs and Samsung air stuff on right pulldown
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Well, I would assume CM uses the vanilla Google 4.2.2 notification/quick settings panel...but since you put it that way...it's like CM. it's not the butchered Sammy version of the 4.2.2 pulldown. there are no embedded Sammy features like the airview, etc either. It's a vanilla Google experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] artisticcheese:
Thanks, does it have an option to modify which settings are shown in quick settings or its preset set?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Noobla_Khan:
Preset...you can't change that on stock Google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Matridom:
I've not used the recent cm Rom, but the last I looked, cm was a custom setup. The notification in this Rom is the same as the nexus line, they are not toggles but shortcuts to the settings menu where you can adjust them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxy808:
haven't been keeping up with all the GE news.

Already have an ATT S4 32gb, but ordered a new one from the playstore.

is the GE based off an ATT model i337? means Made in Korea? whoohoo

read previously it was gonna be based off the Tmo version.:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxyjeff:
It's based off of the i9505 which is the generic not carrier branded lte gs4. It also has a snapdragon CPU just like the us variants.

I don't understand why people feel the need to be such a jackass to people with simple questions. It was a genuine question that I'm sure many other people reading these forums have. I did "read" and there was no link to any thread with a GE ROM dump. You know those panties lodged in your ass? You should pull them out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] erstad:
sorry you took it wrong there is a link that I posted a few pages back. If you took your time and read the posts you would have seen my link to said firmware

Also roms are keep in development

Thank you

No, it will not include the theme chooser to do so.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CZ Eddie:
I'm sure it doesn't *include* the T-Mobile theme chooser. That's not what I'm asking about. :D

Thanks though. :good:

TMO Theme Chooser can be installed on anything I think. Whether it works or not is the big question.

I googled this but didn't spend a lot of time on it. We'll find out one way or the other in a few days, after someone grabs a tar.md5 of the Google S4 OS for us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] plwalsh88:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dankchild:
Yes, but only directly to the NSA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WoodburyMan:
They should have called this the Snowden Edition, as it has none of Samsungs crap-pack including Find my Phone feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] _Dennis_:
Pretty sure TMO theme chooser requires much deeper integration then just installing. Otherwise why can't we use it on TW or Sense ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
4.3 will not be coming with the google s4. i just want this device to launch so the devs can use the aosp base for more stable roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
4.3 might not be launching with the S4 Google Edition, but I'd be willing to bet that it will be updated to 4.3(or 5.0...whatever it will be) within a few months. Hopefully at that time we'll get native IR blaster support.

That being said, I completely agree with you; the most exciting thing about the release is the potential for better AOSP roms. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
I wonder where the ROM dump will be on XDA? The Original Android Development or the Android Development?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
Well, it's the 26th and no mention of the GE anywhere, including the Play Store.

For those of you with Nexus phones, do they usually do a noon release? 9 AM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doug0365:
Why wouldn't 4.3 becoming to the Google S4? When Google themselves said it would be receiving prompt updates.. I would be assuming that this mean they would be treating this device as a nexus.

Everything I've found so far said it will probably be the same as the nexus 4 launch, 9am PST so thats noon for us in EST.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cundiffr:
It won't be launching with 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doug0365:
Never said it would but people are saying that it the Google s4 would not be receiving the update promptly when it finally comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
Actually, you basically did say it would be launching with 4.3.

He said, "4.3 will not be coming with the google s4." And you said, "Why wouldn't 4.3 becoming to the Google S4?" See? I know you weren't actually trying to say it would launch with it, but it definitely sounded like you were.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
To be honest I am not so sure about this. It is rumored by many that google will be giving the OEM a time limit to push the update to the device instead of google doing it like with the nexus. But only time will tell.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Augestflex:
LOL, I hear you! Well it is my own fault. I went back through some old posts and announcements and there was nothing about a midnight release. I just thought maybe they would release early and better to be at the start of the virtual line, than near the end.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
You guys most likely have about another hour or so. Normally they go on sale around 10am pacific time. I know I have to get up early on Nexus release days or log in from work to be at the head of the line lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Haha nice, I wonder if the firmware will be out today? If that's possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
The kernel source maybe but that would be about it. As this device will not have the AOSP support that say the nexus has.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Hmm I think the source is already out actually. I don't think that it will run on our device as easy as people think... Hopefully I'm wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
If the source was released it would be all over the place and I have not seen it popup on google's repository, so I dont think it is out yet. To be honest I think you are right as the GE version will not need the large System partition the normal version does so I think that the partitioning maybe different. If that is the case. The roms will not be able to be as interchangable as people think. Like if the partitioning is set up diff. The stock TW rom will not fit on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Augestflex:
It's 10:00 pacific. Not seeing anything yet. But here is hoping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Yep, I know for a fact that the optimus G roms worked on a nexus 4, albeit some things didn't, and vice-versa maybe thats some insight to what will happen..

http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s4-google/4505-6452_7-35761621.html?ttag=gpwp

12gb available on the 16gb nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
Yes but the partitions were the same in those devices. With the S4 OEM version there is a huge system partition to support the TW stuff. The GE version wont need such a large partition so they will most likely be different. So to be able to put the TW Roms on the GE version you may need to find a way to repartition the whole device.

The google play description is incorrect. Look at the score in Quadrant that CNET posted:http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s4-google/4505-6452_7-35761621-2.html

S4 Pro is usually in 7000 range, the Krait 300 is in 12000 range
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chongwj:
Ordered one. They won't ship until July 9 ....

LOL at those pre-ordered from Ebay which guaranteed to ship on Jun 28

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Factory-Unlocked-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-16GB-Google-Edition-/271216089893
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
The Krait would not hold to google rules So I am sure it is the S4 Pro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bormasina:
How do you explain the difference in the score? Qualcom promised with Krait 300 that would increase the IPC (instruction per clock) and bug fix it. That is how i interpret the difference in the Quadrant scores between S4 pro SoC and Krait 300 (~7000 vs ~12000). All of the S4 PRO devices range around 7000 in Quadrant
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
To be honest I like most Developers put NO stock in those scores as they can be easily made to score higher (OEM and some Devs do this with a few simple tweaks)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pbcal:
I do not understand why some one want a TW rom on this. It will be better to buy a T-mobile phone for $580 and get every rom / band working.

Ohh yeah! Today's the day right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
I think people were excited that they would get some of their storage back with the AOSP roms. But this doesnt seem to be the case. They will be able to flash AOSP but their partitions will not change. I think alot of people just wanted to have it both way. Like I see alot of people getting bored with the Nexus devices as they only have AOSP based roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bormasina:
I understand what you are saying ... I did not look at the description on Google Play, to be honest ... I just saw what CNET posted as a benchmark result and believed that it is Krait 300 (Snapdragon 600 SoC) based on the benchmark result alone.

Then i saw this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7107/htc-one-and-samsung-galaxy-s-4-google-play-edition-review-nearly-nexus

I hope it is Krait 300, if it is not then i need to wrestle with a return
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
What I find odd is that it is not shipping even with the most current android version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pbcal:
Yes. That's the main point of this release. But I think anyone can buy the T-mobile version for $70 less and have option TW and ASOP rom. Only thing we will miss is few GB of SD space. But 64GB MicroSDs are getting cheap and Link2SD is always free :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
True but alot of people were hoping for the repartition of the system partition. As it is set that even on an AOSP based rom you only have about 9gb of storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doug0365:
Woot Orderd mine! Just no to thrilled on the change of CPU there.. and that they din't offer the black color which is no big deal for me but why the change of CPU? Hope its a mistake?

I had the nexus 4 before but hated the crappy speaker and mediocore camera and the fact that it din't have LTE. I bought the At&T version first to try out the GS4 prior to making the decesion on buying the google edition. I loved the screen, camera and overall feel of it I just hope this device is treated like a nexus when it comes to updates and that we get better stable roms in the end.

Now the waiting game contiunes...arrghh July 9th?? They should have said it would be ready for pre-order instead of saying it would be available on this day :(
