I was trying to find out if the Google play edition s4 4.4 ota stock rom is compatible with all other galaxy s4's. Wasn't sure if there was a difference in hardware enough for it to have problems.

Hi! I read that Sammobile already got a leaked version of Android 4.3 from the SGS4 Google Experience, ported to SGS4 w/ Snapdragon 600 and I got the link for the ROM! How hard will it be for devs to try to port it to our device? It's Here is the link:

I reckon that'll take some time, at least before it's stable.

I think sami doesnt support anymore us. But u can install stock 4.2.2. Or cyanogenmod...as custom rom

I think that it will be more difficult even to have a fully functional cyanogenmod because of the changes in the surfaceflinger...TI is out of the market so we won't get further official support i guess...See Galaxy nexus also...
Impossible to have an Official 4.4 update, but I don't doubt that we'll have an stable and fully functioning 4.4 via CyanogenMOD.
but our device is fully capable of running 4.4.x .. this is unfair thats y i dont go for any sammy devices

Our device can run PURE 4.4 smoothly, but Samsung adds crap (aka Touchwiz) to Android...
proof? Official 4.2.2 is a HORRIBLE firmware!
Samsung announced that 4.2 would be the Tab 2's last update. At this point, if you want newer OS versions, ROMs are your only choice. 4.3.1 is pretty standard for roms nowadays. PAC-Rom developers said that they are already working on a 4.4 build for the tab 2, but it will be a while before it's out.
I have a Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-i545. I am looking for a stock (or as close to stock as I can get) version of Kitkat that's either rooted I can install or one I can root. I am running 4.2.2 rooted. There large quantity of roms floating around I am new to all the android acronyms.
I found this one, but I cant figure out if its modded, or Verizon compatible or so on.

ohhh. pure touch_iz
ew. been running Goolge Edition 4.4.2 for S4, for what seems like months now...
Are there any differences in the official build vs. the test build xxufnad?
Fun fact:
The Galaxy S4 is the only phone on which the Google (Play) Edition is actually on and older version of android (5.0) than the stock (touchwiz) version (5.0.1).
The only exception is where carriers have chosen not to update their respective S4 models; i.e. T-Mobile US.
Kudos to Samsung for being the only android manufacturer to accomplish this feat!

Every other Google play edition device is 5.1
