Hey Everyone,
I maintain a website, randomphantasmagoria.com, where I maintain a firmware archive of official production Google ROMs for every Nexus and Google Experience device from the OG Droid onward. I plan to archive the Google Experience GS4 ROMs as well, assuming the ROMs actually come from Google and not from Samsung.
If someone is buying one, I'd love if you could help me out with something. I need some information on the phone, and you will need to get it as soon as you turn the phone on for the first time, before doing any out-of-the-box system updates.
Here is the info I'll need:
1. The bootloader version. You will have to reboot into bootloader (fastboot) mode to do this. When you do, the bootloader version should be displayed on screen.
2. The baseband version from Settings | About Phone.
3. The value of ro.build.fingerprint from /system/build.prop.
4. IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION: Before applying the update, do the following. Turn on USB debugging after the notification appears on screen. Go into Settings | Developer Options and select "Take Bug Report". Your phone will email a text file to the email address on your Google account. Open that text file and search it for ".zip" (without the quotes) and post the URL to the ZIP file.
This will be unbelievably helpful.
Thank you in advance!

My left brain wants Google Nexus 4 and the right side wants the Galaxy S4 Google Edition. Left side says "it is good enough for you" and the right side wants "the best". Debating now... :highfive:
But if I do get the SGS4 GE, I will post the info

Thanks. Just make sure you do it before you apply any system updates that might be available out of the box.
Also, another plus to the Nexus 4 is that you know updates come straight from Google. All Hugo Barra would say about the GES4 at I/O was that it would receive "prompt system updates". It remains to be seen whether the GES4's ROM is from Google or from Samsung. If it's a Samsung ROM, you can bet that while the system updates will be "prompt" compared to almost any other phone on the market, it'll still take a good month or two to get updates.
As soon as someone gets this phone, we'll know within 2 minutes if it's a Google ROM or a Samsung ROM. Just look at the Android build number in Settings | About Phone. If it's a standard 5- or 6-character build number like JDQ39 or JDQ39E, it's Google. If the build number is anything else (for example JDQ39.I9505GXXUMD1), it's a Samsung ROM.

Android Central posted a video which includes the "About device" screen. Build number is listed as JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD (I9505GUEUAMFD is also listed as the baseband).
So based on what you have said it sounds like updates will likely not be coming directly from Google

For me, since the updates don't come from Google, there's really no advantage to buying one of these. If you're in the market for an unlocked GS4, you may as well get the skinned Touchwiz version. Either way the OEM is the middleman for updates. So unless you just love the stock Android UI that much, you'll get a ton more features for your money by going Touchwiz.

I just heard that the other Nexus S phones (except Nexus S 4G) already got the updates, anybody know when the i9020a will get the update? Thanks you!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Google said it will be a month before all Nexus S devices have the update so at this point all we can do is wait.
If you're feeling brave though, there are a few guides floating around saying how you can flash the i9020T (TMO) ICS OTA update on your i9020a and then flash the ATT radio back.
Thanks, but I'll just wait. I already have bad experience with getting into my phone

This is what you walk into with open source software, with the nexus line of phones, you get updates first not right away.
Its the cost of having an open platform. Its unfortunate, I like being on the cutting edge but its all about preferences. I like flashing, tinkering and messing up. This platform allows it, the other popular platform is more streamlined and closed. You get updates for all the phones once but in my opinion its lacking the tinkering factor. Also, once you go samoled, you never go back.

You should have no issue with unlocking n rooting a nexus..
- Only setback would have to be, the device not being found w/ your pc. aka manually installing the samsung driver properly.
I just redid my sdk after a fresh winOS. n i always spend the most time on just this part...
Rooting the NexusLineup is are one of the simplest bootloaders to unlock.
If i'm not mistaken the whole nexus line up was built for the developing purpose n experience;...
N to answer your ICS-OTA Release for the crespo4g no matter what people tell you.
google had a setback w/ the ns4g n only this device. Cause of 'wiimax' connection issues.
I personally think google is looking for outside help rather then trying to figure it out.
But until you see the official tweet from the official nexus/google/android twitter accounts, or your unrooted device receives the ota. Then no ics rom will properly work to its full ability for our 4Gmachines!
To set record straight there was the orginal rollout for the NS4G.
People reported the issues.
Thats why they didnt continue.
This is why i only stick w/ apple.

I'm floating in the same boat brooo
Why isn't anybody discussing about this and future prospectives? OK maybe there's nothing to talk about before the actual release but maybe we can hope for a leak?
Personally I CANNOT WAIT for the release so that I can turn my slow touchwiz ROM to pure android with everything working right away done by the amazing Google's coders
I bought the S4 last minute just for this reason!
From what I understand we would only need to flash a different modem to get it working on other variants and international version right?
no one really knows anything about it until the device is released - not a huge amount to talk about.

I really hope the firmware from the Google Edition is flashable on my i9505. Would love to have an official pure Google experience on this phone.
Guess my fear is how many features I'll loose on a GE version. Will all the various sensors work? Going to wait and see what the GE looks like 1st.

There is a great chance that it would share the same hardware as 9505 , so yes, probably it will be easy portable

Well if it is an official Google rom, then i can't imagine the sensors not working. Hope they keep the ir port! But i guess we would lose air view, smart stay, split screen etc. The Sammy features just wouldn't work.

Tbh this Google version is a masterstroke - as an OG SGS [1] owner I grew tired of having to rely on Developers/Custom ROMS for updates & I found that a vast majority of the Samsung features were just bloat/gimmicks that I very rarely used - if at all.
I still don't know if I would buy this Google version as after 2 years I personally wanted something that looked very different & with Samsung keeping the same Home, Back & Menu key (though the shape of the Home button has changed I like the minimalist look without a button) I wanted a complete change.

Don't see why not. I would imagine that Wallet will come in the software as standard - it was there in my Nexus⁴ despite it not being usable in UK [officially ]
As for working on ATT I'm not sure as I'm not familiar with the strange shenanigans that go on with US networks - I've heard the demands & stipulations & one of those is that some networks don't allow Wallet as they have their own version similar.

I read somewhere that Air View exists in the Google Android framework as Hover events. Hope we see those start to appear in more non-Samsung apps.
Smart Stay could perhaps exist as an app service as I don't think it would need specialised kernel stuff.
I am worried about the IR support mostly too.

I would be running CM but I unfortunately love the S-View case too much.

By the time we get it the note 6 will be out.

Rumor is that Samsung will start rolling it out to the note 5 in February, then you have to wait for the carrier to give it a once over, on top of that, it's mostly Samsung fault. They have what 4 currently flagship phones not including the last gen ones. We have the s6, s6 edge, edge +, and the note 5... and that's just the current flagship, not to mention the other phones they've put out last year. Samsung as a company, is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest smartphone oem.

Hopefully.
I've been looking around for news on when TMO and the other US carriers are going to release Nougat for the Note 5. No real news out there that I can find. Anyone find anything?

It was released randomly for the SM-N920C 2 ¹/² weeks ago in Turkey...

...so it shouldn't be too much longer for the rest of the world to get it. Depends on when your service provider decides to release it though. I asked T-Mobile when it would be for SM-N920T and they pretty much said that they weren't allowed to say, that it would be sometime in the near future and just to keep an eye out for it. No one knows when it will be released, but literally EVERYONE is waiting for this, so believe me you'll know when it arrives on XDA.
Sprint got 7.0 today
We got N920TUVU4DQC2 today.. guess we have to wait a bit longer for Nougat.

Here's a write up about the Sprint Note 5
http://phandroid.com/2017/04/06/sprint-galaxy-note-5-nougat-update/
Folks rocking the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will want to be on the lookout for an OTA to hit their phone. It’s Nougat!
The update is coming in as version N920PVPU3DQC5, a 1.4GB affair. It’ll be receiving all of Nougat’s new features and those which Samsung are delivering as part of a big upgrade to TouchWiz. It may even make your phone feel brand new, though we aren’t promising anything. Oh, and its security patches are fairly up to speed with a March 1st, 2017 level.
Anyway, for such a massive file size you’ll want to make sure you’re on a WiFi connection and have a decently charged battery (let’s say more than 50% to be on the safe side) before attempting to pull it down. Head to the settings menu on your phone to look for it manually if it hasn’t already hit your notifications tray.

Yea I read this yesterday
Sounds like the ATT folks began getting the update yesterday. How far behind can TMO be?
Verizon just got theirs......so it looks like T-Mobile is last.

I made this tutorial awhile ago for people with root to still be able to receive the update. Doesn't work if you're currently using a Nougat rom though. Can be done easily however from either stock Marshmallow or a Marshmallow rom that's based on your devices firmware.

EDIT: Oh...I forgot you commented on it. Guess you already knew about it. [emoji14]
Tmobile SOON 7.0
I wonder why all the other major US carriers have it out and TMO does not. I hope it is not an indication that the TMO version has bugs.
Could be they wanna make sure it is good for us first. I have heard about the other carriers releasing buggy updates to just get them out...lol we can hope anyway
