T-Mobile Galaxy S3 LTE SGH-T999L
Hi there. I just want to flash the latest version of stock Android (L if possible, KitKat otherwise). The Google Now launcher isn't enough; I want the improved performance and efficiency and I want all the useless Samsung apps off my phone. After I root my phone, where do I get a simple stock ROM? All I can seem to find are custom ROMs with all kinds of mods. I just want stock Android or a very lightly-modified alternative. As far as I can tell right now the closest ROM would be CM.
Thanks.

Can't find an Android L ROM for your device.
But you should ask in the T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III > T-Mobile Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
You can check the T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III T-Mobile > Galaxy S III Android Development > [Firmware/OTA's] [root66] SGH-T999(All Variants!) Official & Root66 FW & OTA Updates! thread for latest official firmwares.

Hi all, I am very new here, and I would like a question answered.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 currently running the Samsung stock firmware. I want to load the Google Edition ROM onto it and just wondering if I will be able to upgrade to later versions of Android when they do come out. Example: upgrading to Kitkat when it does come out.
This is the only thing that has stopped me from loading the GE ROM onto my S4.
Any and all answers are greatly appreciated.
Dear All,
I am a newbie to this site and a bit to Android. I've rooted by Samsung Galaxy S4 19505 (International Version) using Towel Root and installed clockwork recovery and used a custom ROM 'Cyanogenmod' for a while. Cyanogenmod 10.2 crashes a lot and therefore I decided to go back to stock rom. There was some md5 checksum mismatch when I tried to come back to my stock rom and therefore I could not do it. I found links to download official ROMs for variants of different countries but couldn't find one for the 'International Version'. I am looking for the stock ROM of S4-19505 International Version. Please help me to find the stock ROM for my phone. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I recently joined XDA to get information about how to install or modify custom roms.
I firstly tried to search before making this thread, but I couldn't get exact information that I wanted. (Or, my searching was crap..)
I'm very new to Android (was using iPhones), so I would be very appreciated if you can help starting from basic knowledge.
Device Type - Samsung Galaxy Note II
Model Number - SGH-T889V
Android Version - 4.4.2
Baseband Version - T889VVLUDNH2
Kernal Version - 3.0.31-1736364
Build Number - KOT49H.5889VVLUDNH2
Carrier - WIND Mobile
1.
What is the most stable Custom ROM for my device?
I saw Cyanogen, MIUI, OMNI, etc.
However, I couldn't select anything since I didn't know wheter they support my device or not.
2.
Can you help me to find information about installing them? (from #1 question)
3.
I saw that Note 2 can have Note 3 or 4 roms.
I want to know the difference between note 2 and note 4 roms. (like more stable, fast, compatible, etc)
4.
I saw that my device could be locked by WIND.
How can I check if it's locked without getting new SIM card?
If you need more information, I can definitely provide them, so feel free to tell me!
Thanks to whoever would help me.

There are a couple (stock) options available to you.
