I can confirm that Goldeneye functions very well on Canadian i337m

Great developer and well maintained. Uses latest 9505 S4 firmware and with an aroma installer you get to specify Canadian i337m options. All we need to do is update and/or change modem (baseband) using Odin to install latest Canadian carrier firmware. Goldeneye has ROM options and kernel choices that also function well with i337m phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Awesome, thanks for the input :) first rom on the list. Hopefully more input also comes along and makes life easier for people comming here with jfltecan

PAC man room for jfltecan works absolutely amazing. There are build just for our phone. Personally I find most lp ROMs work best if you have the most updated boot loader and modems. Cheers

I've tried looking for this ROM, would you be able to post link,I'll add it to op, thanks man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Was just checking this one out earlier, glad to hear it runs well, I'll add link to op, also where can you find the most up to date modem/boot loader for our jfltecan, thanks, will also add that to the list :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jchef:
Not sure where to find it but I can look. I got the most recent modern and BL by downloading the stock firmware which for me was 4.4.2. Then I immediately got the notifications for the ota updates. After updating was finished I rooted and added recovery using twrp manager from the play store. Sammobile is a good place to get stock firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Op updated thanks for input so far :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
So far I've ran kangapop, which is a gread stock aosp type ROM with behind the scene tweaks (with the aroma installer I chose googymax which played very nice). And I've also ran PAC man ROM, which also has been a really good ROM, super customizable (cm12 theme engine, etc.) which I'm currently on. Both scored equally on antutu for me. Have yet to try GoldenEye and the s6 port. Thanks for the input so far tho, hopefully little less confusing when someone new to the s4 comes along, I've been an avid flasher and was lil confused at first coming to the s4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WilliamDecker:
I'm downloading the 4.4.2 version for Bell Mobility. I had problems with my modem and HTTPS in the past. Did this resolve the issues for you?

Also I saw that sammobile had the 5.0.1 firmware. Did you install those?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Zehlek:
[MENTION=5403589]Albe95[/MENTION] S6 ROM had been updated and is awesome. Also Miui fans, Miui 6 is also available
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jchef:
I installed my stock software from sammobile.com that the phone originally had. I think it was 4.4.2. Then when you restart the phone you will get notifications to update over the air. Let the updates install. There may be as many as 3. Then you will have stock oc4 and modem and bootloader. I then rooted and installed twrp.

This is hulk kernel. Works great. Has oc. I usually use imperium kernel and sometimes ael(found in echo Roms forum) The I9505 Roms that work really well on our phone are imperium, kushan, albe, also echo works amazing with lots of features. Screen mirroring doesn't work in most s6 ported Roms but they are fun to use. Echo rom isn't on xda(long story) but it is flawless on i337m. Google it. They have their own forum. They are a very helpful and friendly group. AntaresOne does a really cool cm optimized rom with f2s file system. It works well. He offers detailed instructions and his own twrp version for his rom. Happy flashing...! If anyone runs into any problems or had questions, don't hesitate to ask...

sim unlock

Does anyone know of a reliable way to Sim unlock the i337m on Android 5.0.1? Ive had about 15 galaxy s4's, and have always used the regionlock away apk method to unlock them, by flashing the 4.2.2 modem, while running 4.4.2 everything else., rooted, then installed the apk and boom unlocked. But now i've bought another recently and this method doesnt seem to work. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s0ulreaver:
For the OP, you can mention the Imperium kernel, works great on TW ROMs and has support for old bootloaders:

It is my favorite kernel on my Telus S4.

Hi there,

I just picked up a rogers S4 last night. My S3 finally bit the dust and I got a decent deal on kijiji. I have lots of experience rooting & flashing many devices from this and other phones/tablets.

Anyways, it installed the new patch from this weekend as soon as I booted it up last night.

I am now at the point where I would like to root the device.

Can I have a recommendation from this group for the prescribed method?

I prefer not to flash custom roms/recovery on my devices as it usually takes more time than I am willing to commit. It's fun I just don't have the time to put into it anymore.

I prefer to root and used xposed framework to get the customization over stock roms that I am looking for. I used wanam on my S3 with greenify. Hopefully this same solution works with the S4.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
I know u said you prefer not to flash custom recovery, but I found the easiest method, the one I used, was to Odin jfltecan twrp. Flash latest SuperSU.zip boot it up and agree to disable Knox. Warrenty be voided, I voided mine first day :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Added :) thanks

Hey if you are looking for a solid ROM for daily driver you should really check out the Resurrection Remix ROM for the jfltexx. All you have to do is flash the jtltexx TWRP recovery and you are good. WARNING!!! TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! However I have been using it for my daily driver for 3 weeks now with no problems.

Its a unified build :) and don't worry I was testing on jfltecan :)

There are no 5.1.1 TW ROMs for the S4 - never officially released. There are some great 5.0.1 / 5.0.2 TW ROMs available in the i9505 threads

I've been using ManuProN5's V0.5 Beta release of his N5 port for a few weeks now - no issues, daily driver. Only change was to switch kernel for Imperium's V 1.9 (latest is 2.8 but there has been feedback that v1.9 has the best battery life - so am giving it a go)

Imperium's kernel resolves the flipped camera screen that is an issue with many of these ports.

Need a recommendation.....

Have flashed the Android Wear port to my Gear 2 neo - and is recommended to flash an AOSP Rom to the phone as the wear works better with AOSP - not TW. I do not have much experience with AOSP on the S4 - have pretty much stuck with TW based roms

So, what are the recommendations for a good daily driver AOSP Rom

Thanks in advance,

I dont play games I am more of a blogger and social media type. Any replies to the battery life would be greatly appreciated. I will update to let everyone know my personal opinion on this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Okay, finally got around to flashing Tipsy on the SGH-1337M and android wear port back on the gear 2 neo. It's only been a day, but whereas things were glitchy last night - both roms have settled down nicely. Settled down to the point where notifications, etc are syncing well between the two (basic items that should work "out of the box")

The android wear software definitely plays better with AOSP based roms - was having many issues with TW based ones. But, have to admit that the stock Tizen the watch comes with plays very well with TW. (Touch Wiz)

Thanks for the recommendation - appreciate the feedback and support

Have a good one

Lower space for apps

Hi all! Thanks for the Tipsy suggestion. I installed it on my gf's S4 and I think she'll love it.

One big problem though. She now lacks space to install her apps while the system partition has 2.16GB of wasted space. Here are the numbers for the partitions:

System : 2.16GB free of 2.65GB

Apps + User Storage : 494MB free of 9.59GB

What would be the easier way to fix this? Install some user apps as system apps? Redo the partitions? Any tips on how to do this?

Hello. I am pretty new to rooting my S4. I had CM11 running for the last few months, decided to research ROM's a little more, and found this thread.

I have been running the current TipsyOS for about 4 days not, and am really liking it. I am just not used to my phone being pretty much completely lag free, even running CM11 it wasn't this good.

So far battery life has not been fantastic though. At least not compared to CM11 where I think I got close to twice the battery life I seem to be getting now. I am still tweaking settings etc. though to see what happens. The battery also seems to drain quickly right off a charge, then slow down a bit. Maybe things just need to break in.

The only other issue I have seen is that I have problems getting my screen back up if I have a call in progress. I maybe don't have something set the best, I'm not sure. But the screen goes dark like the phone has gone to sleep and it takes repeated pressing of the home button to get it to 'wake up'.

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys,

I just recently got a bell s4 stock 5.0.1 I337M with G0GH1 baseband. I'm not new to xda, and am comfortable flashing - been using LP and M on HTC Sensation for a while now but the S4 scene looks very muddled. Tipsy looks like a great option over stock, and i want to try it. I've searched around and am doing alot of reading to root and put a custom rom on the S4 but was confused for a while on what jfltecan was. Seems like it is the device name and not a CM based rom variant?

https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys4canada.html

I was going to root the phone first from stock 5.0.1 but came across the CM wiki where it says it is not preferred, https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltecan

It also goes into using Heimdall suite instead (of Odin?).

Any clarity would be appreciated to someone new to the S4 scene.
