Modaco switch. Run stock Google rom - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Hey everyone!
What is the consensus on something like this?
It is called MoDaCo.SWITCH and it allows touch wiz to be run with the ability to boot with a stock android rom.
I can't post a link due to xda forum rules because I am a new user, but just search modaco switch for Samsung Galaxy s4.
Thanks fellas
Edit: also BGR is where I found the article and apparently this developer created this app from an indiegogo campaign if I heard correctly in his video.

Yeah I am trying to get it ran on mine issue is that its an international and doesn't come with the Loki kernel and Loki patch doesn't work but you can flash your own kernel. I had backed it on indiegogo and I have it ATM. Trying to figure out how to install a different rom as well. But its only in beta and unless you donated you can't get it until official release.

Mobile ODIN Pro

I could have sworn that someone asked awhile back about this Chainfire app ... must have been before the forums got split up by carrier.
Anyone try this yet? I'm curious - as we're unlocked now - whether we can carry ODIN with us like the rest of the SIII population.
Here's a link to the xDa thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

Don't think u can use it until the creator of the app says it's compatible with our system.

It might just not be compatable because the developer still assumes we have a locked BL. Now thats its unlocked like the rest of the varients it might just work.

I know Chainfire just got back from an extended vacation ... he's probably very busy.
I'm tempted to give it a try, though $4.99 is a bit steep for a program that may not work with our phones.
I'll put a link to the xDa thread on Mobile ODIN in my OP.

looks like the testing went well, from what i read in the thread... hopefully this will be posted today...
I spent the better part of yesterday testing 3.1 for Chainfire ... it is sweet.
Mobile ODIN Pro will actually take bone stock firmware (like an OTA), root it and inject SuperSU before flashing it to your phone.
Look for a release anytime now ...

Confused

Thinking about picking up the sgs3 tom but I was just wondering what the difference between the original dev thread and the other thread. Also what does d2vzw mean. Sorry if someone already asked this ? But I couldnt find it.

D2vzw is the 'name' given to our variant if the s3 to identify it to apps.
Dunno what you mean by your other question.
O ok I was just thinking maybe Verizon put a updated version out cause of the bootloader getting figured out or something. So If I buy a new one I won't be limited on flashing anything right?

From my understanding (and it's very likely that I'm wrong) the idea between the 2 different dev forums is that the regular development forums is for TouchWiz (in this case) based roms and the original development is for aosp roms. However there are aosp roms in the regular forums so you got me!

I think it's more like OG Android Development are those built from source vs. those that are built off of a base which would be the Android Development section.
The difference in the forum is pretty much official vs unofficial. I.e. original would have the actual CM/AOSP/AOKP/MIUI roms and the other forum would have unoffical roms based on those.

Yeah most likely. . I doubt that much will change with the TW UX. Being able to slide through screens in the phone app and In settings would be nice.. but I have a feeling that Samsung won't implement that.. (shaking fist)

I doubt that the new TW will look much different than it does now. And I'm sure that when official 4.4 makes its way to our device it'll be ruined in some way by Samsung. There are a lot of things I like about TW but pure AOSP KitKat is going to win every time

There's still some things broken in CM 10.2 and the other 4.4 ROMs that are being worked on, which is why I still use 4.3 at the moment. Source coding should make it easy to fix those issues, and fully functional ROMs should come from it.
But I could be wrong, that's just my experience from other phones and other android versions. And what Samsung released today may not even be the same kind of source coding that I'm thinking of.

When the 4.4 GPE update hits, it'll be easily converted to work on all carrier S4's based off the Snapdragon 600. The international version, however, is a completely different story.

No, that OTA is for the Google Play Edition S4. Not the i337 or any other i337X phone.
But if you have a recovery installed on your i337X, then you can install a ported version of this OTA.
I doubt i337X will see KitKat OTA official for 3-4 more months.

Yes, the reason why I posted this was for your mentioned reason, custom recovery installs. I wasn't referring to any 4.4 based TW OTAs from the carriers.

Check out the nocturnal rom once you get rooted. It's themed and runs really smooth that and it's one of the only ones available. This is definitely not the most popular tab out there but it's pretty solid. I have no complaints and I'm used to the best of the best when it comes to Android phones. Plus it's another device to root and play around with. Sorry I don't have an odin, but I'm pretty sure there is one in the development section. Samsung devices are pretty easy to root, probably the easiest out there.
