QUICK question to install omega rom

So I'm trying to get omega rom and this might be a stupid question but i want to play it safe.
Samsung galaxy 1900 omega rom will install perfectly fine on a sch-1535(verizon) right? I know i900 is a unlocked phone...

Omega is an I9300 rom, if you install it on the i535 then you'll brick your phone, where does it say anywhere on that rom page it's OK to use on this variant?
Good thing you asked first, but only stick to ROMs in our development section. Anything that's posted anywhere else on xda will not work.

Rom Port request

Back in my early S3 days when I was on ATT, there was a Rom called Wicked for the ATT S3 variant.I was hoping that someone may take a shot at porting it to the i535 for Verizon. (With the devs permission of course) I know its an older Rom but it was pretty decent as I recall.I appreciate it in advance.

you have to go to the at&t section to see what he is talking about. The last time I checked it is still based on 4.1.1 as of version 10 . The team has moved to the galaxy s4.

4.3 root

Hey guys I'm new to the GS3 and I recently updated my phone to 4.3 and I wanted to root it but there's nothing I can find to root the phone. All I can find is for 4.0.4-4.1.2

From what I've been reading you can root but I'm not sure if you can root once your on 4.3. Custom roms aren't currently available once you take the OTA or there is a good possibility you can hard brick your phone

For now I just want to root the device and run the stock ROM. All I want to do is clean up the ROM like get rid of the stupid WiFi notification and remove bloatware etc...

Very cool. Although if you or anyone took the OTA any custom rom is unavailable currently and may never be available again

Yep I know that. Never been a fan of flashing ROMs anyway. I'm fine with stock rooted. It runs better and I get amazing battery life with the zerolemon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46510260#post46510260 post 2751

I followed the steps and was able to get root on 4.3 just fine as well. Thanks to everyone for helping me with that.
I do have a question....it might very well be a dumb question but I'm asking anyway,
I've installed Titanium backup and I have the update.zip that I created prior to reverting to stock and then taking the OTA. From what I understand I can't use custom recovery, which was the only way I knew how to flash that update.zip to restore my apps+data. So, how do I flash this update.zip with root on 4.3? Is this still possible?
Thanks again to all for the help.

Saferoot worked for me (its a method designed for galaxy s4). Although I wouldn't recommend it. It may or may not have been the cause of a hard brick for me, but I tried unlocking the bootloader after using it, which is probably what threw it.

No. Once you took the ota you lost the ability to flash other ROMs. Unless one of the Dev's cracks the lock bootloader or finds a way around.

[Q] Help with root, then installing kit kat

Hi,
I saw that I could root my Verizon HTC One (M8) and wanted some help on what to do after I root it. What I want is to install the latest stock Kit Kat on it (basically like making it a Play Edition phone). I found a rooting guide using WeakSauce. Can someone point me in the right direction on what I should do after getting root? Is there like a single file download of Kit Kat I can get to install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I have a Windows PC so if I need to build KitKat from source, I won't be able to do that).

You can't. We're months away from being able to do that all we have is root

Ummm proof of s off was posted yesterday. I doubt it will be months. Weeks if not days. With GPE versions existing it will not take long for other roms such as CM to show up.

You missed a key point. Making a pure GSM ROM work with Verizon will take some time. While it likely won't take long to get GPE running on a VZW M8, it will probably take some time to get the radio working properly.

What's Gonna be the First Custom Rom?

I don't mean like the stock rom rooted, i mean a port of CM or MIUI that's stable. What do you hope to be the first stable custom rom?
Personally, I've used Miui since i had my first Droid X, used it on my Nexus as well. Hoping for it on my S5 some time

I bet it will be a hyperdrive rom ran through safestrap.

I've ported roms myself to my galaxy nexus prior, but obviously with not much known about the S5, i'm not sure I wanna risk self porting. I'm trying to port a CM rom

We aren't going to see any of those ported to the normal vzw s5 because we have a locked bootloader. All we'll see, for now, is touchwiz.

Don't be so sure of that. The S4's is still locked (NON MDK) for almost a year now with no success. There's plenty of good TW based ROMs though, Eclipse being my favorite which he said when he gets an S5 he will create one.

I HOPE SO!!! Loved Hyper on my GS4. Almost went back to it since we didn't have root. SUPER glad we are making progress towards getting ROMS, root & SS. Who is the maker of HD?? Any rumblings around the GS5 HD ROM??

I don't care which one comes out first, as long as it's dark...

Comming from a GT- i9100 using CM I was hoping to see one for the sm-G900v. Any reason why it may not be done?

Bootloader is locked on this device, and likely won't ever get cracked. So no custom recoveries which means no custom kernels and no custom ROMs. There is only safestrap which will only allow you to flash touchwiz based ROMs, so no AOSP based ROMs.
