I'm still contemplating which rom should I switch.. Which rooting method did you guys used?

My S4 is GT-i9505 (I9505XXUBMF8), I've read about Motochopper and CF method, which is safer and easier? :o

That is a good complete no brainer hahah. Cm10.1 is the same thing as GE

They are both aosp based hence look the same , act the same. However one has tons of features and one has almost no features. Cm10.1 really is better . And ... if you really like ge edition thqt much go download the sun beam live wallpaper and apply it on Cm10.1!!! Now it's google edition'd. Lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] edditnyc:
Thanks for posting the question OP. I'm a big fan of CM and I wish it was a simple answer. It's rather complicated. I came from the Evita (HTC One X) over to GS4 and I was wondering whether the GE would outshine CM. Currently I'm on CM10.2 nightlies (just arrived) with a nandroid of KangaBean GE backed up on my phone.

Basically, if you're coming from TW stock, you may love GE unconditionally and love it's rock solid stability. However if you've gotten a taste of CM, you're going to look at GE as a bit bare boned when it comes to features. I think the CM devs are brilliant but you'll have to contend with a few bugs in the nightlies here and there but that's not to say CM isn't a daily driver. On this device, it absolutely is good to go. CM also has literally has an army of devs adding new security features and new apps to enrich the experience (Focal and hopefully in the near future, Chomecast). GE isn't doing that at all and you're really relying on a couple of devs teaming up and trying to add mods to enrich the experience.

Also regarding updates, the CM team is absolutely committed to keeping you on the bleeding edge. If you noticed, Android 4.3 dropped and the CM team SWARMED on it. The Github was a mess for a few weeks but they essentially ripped it all apart and put it back together in a very short period. Now they're on 4.3/CM10.2 nightlies for most devices. On the other hand, if you think just because you have a GE phone you're going to get the latest updates you're in for a rude awakening. It wasn't billed as a Nexus device so don't expect updates on that level. Hopefully GE updates drop earlier than the TW updates so the devs can get their hands on them for you but I'm not holding my breath on that one. To be honest, I think you're more likely to see the next version of Android come from CyanogenMod.

So you just have to pick your poison. I think I'm going to restore KangaBean today but I'll likely be back on CM before the day is over. :)

GE

First of all, did your phone already update to MF3? if so your only option is rooting at this point the Loki exploit was patched in MF3 and your likely SOL when it comes to custom roms, possibly permanently, bootloader workarounds or unlocks are tough and I haven't seen any signs of progress on that front around here on XDA

If you want a rom that is a stable excellent daily driver go with GPe rom, no issues or lag whatsoever.

If you want to be on the bleeding edge, use CM but it still has some pretty big bugs at this point, they don't even have a milestone release at this point I don't think, it's just nightlies. There will be issues

The few extra features aren't worth the bugs imho, I don't mess with CM until they get to a RC for my device, (occasionally I've give a milestone release a try) because the bugs bother me.

I'd rather have stability over features that I rarely use.

Most people on XDA tend to overlook a lot of small and sometimes big bugs with very early releases of AOSP roms like CM and AOKP

Casual was super easy and that's what I used to root, though I swapped out TWRP for clockwork recovery as it has auto-loki

Please detail these "big bugs".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] webbie2:
Now when you were on CM did you ever make it to CM 11 M8 Build. I really enjoy that ROM on my s4 but I have better luck using Dan's 4.4.4 GPE ROM. its way more stable. I really want to love CM because I believe they have so much going for them but I have too many issues. Plus battery life is not amazing. No horrible but not amazing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chronei:
Hi,

I am getting the annoying "Insufficient Space" errors whenever I install some things from app market. One thing can be 1mb and not work while others that are bigger will randomly work! It's just random .. but also seems to be a trend of apps i installed in the past, or ones that i have already that are trying to update. YES it tried wiping cache/dalvik cache, so no tips on factory reset/cache etc ty ;)

There are many OUTDATED/broken tutorials for making an external partition for app data and such, and I am having trouble finding a good guide on how to do this.

Can anyone show me a good guide/video that is recent, using TWRP, that can show me how to accomplish this?

Other info:

* I do NOT use cyanogenmod (some of the App2SD apps are only for CM9/10)

* TWRP 2.6.0.0 is missing the SD card partition button! So I flashed CWM and made a 4gb partition in my extSD card. Now what?

Thanks mates

GS3 t999

TWRP v2.6.0.0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] m3@twad:
! would also like to see this issue resolved
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chronei:
Ok, so I have my external SD card partitioned. In regards to my related post, it was a bug so CWM was able to partition.

Now i have this 4gb partitioned space with 0 swap space as instructed. Now I want to make it so that apps install there instead of the emulated SDcard and also have the dalvik cache/cache there as well or whatever the heck it is that takes away the "INSUFFICIENT SPACE" bug when I 100% have space.... Help ;)

Update will/may overwrite recovery partition, flash new radio will/may also restore some of bloatware.

To preserve root: when cwm asks "Root access possibly lost. Fix?" Select Yes.

The Play store may not work if "google services" cache was cleared before installing the update (I'm sure it can be resolved easily)

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
Flashing with the offline flash method comes with a risk, and waiting for the ota or trying all the tricks to receive a ota is time consuming, and if you do get the update (via ota) you need all bloatware and no changes (to build.prop & completely remove artas182cwm) or the update will fail. I had the official ota update to jellybean (20D) crash on me 3 times and had to wait to get the update again. S***ed donkey balls, lol

If you want to modify it you can use Android Kitchen, just "set up working folder from rom" any rom will do, remove everything in "WORKING_" directory, copy everything from OTA zip into the "WORKING_" dir and edit "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script"

Upgrade isn't working-still in 20d

I ran the zip file from cw recovery. Everything looked like it installed properly. My first boot after the install, I ran out of space internally and externally. I deleted the blobs folder from clockwork backup on both the internal memory and ext sd card.

I booted into recovery again and reinstalled the zip. Once again, everything looked ok. I get the message that Android is upgrading apps and then starting apps.

If you want to you can backup your current build.prop and replace it with the attachment (stock 20d) and rerun the patch

You'll have to mount /system rw :

Well in case this helps anyone here it is:

I flashed the zip in the recovery normally meaning:

Put zip on sd > boot into recovery > selected flash from sd> selected the update zip > after install wiped Cache and Dalvik > then on the recovery msg just pressed back nothing happen pressed again (had to press back button 2 times) and it rebooted itself. (did not see the keep root msg by the way, no biggie)

Once it rebooted and did the usual optimizing stuff, looked for su, tried to update binary, no go! dumb me forgot to restore root with Vodoo, so went ahead and did it! Then went back to su, it said to update binary I hit normal but no go. :mad: then i was like FK this lol so hit the su again for a second time, asked me if i wanted to update, picked normal again, and PRESTO!!! Have root, confirmed with a free root tester from market! :victory:
