hi! im new in android iwant to know that is it good for me to install custom rom in my i9500 if it is then tell me how!!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It's definitely fine to install a custom ROM on your device. However, being a beginner you'll need to do a lot of reading to familiarise yourself with the device and the process of unlocking it and installing custom firmware. Don't rush into it, people who rush end up bricking (destroying) their phone, take your time and do a lot of reading so you're sure that you know what you're doing before you actually attempt anything. You'll find the Galaxy S4 device forum here:
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506
Good luck!

Hi,
I've been using SGS4 GT-I9500 for a year and decided to root it today and it worked.
but then I'm confused about what to do next, someone told to me to instal CWM than I can use custom rom.
so if there is anyone could help me what to do to my phone after rooted, please help me what to do next.
thank you.

Hi there!
Well, there's a few different recoveries for your device.....and many roms as well.
The best thing I can do is give you the links to the sections that contain them....and you can do a little research and decide what recovery and ROMs are best for you.
There's 2 sections. Android Development and android original development. Most the recoveries will be found in original development. And ROMs are in both.
>*Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506*>*Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development
>*Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506*>*Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development
Please read read read...carefully. And be sure whatever you flash is indeed for your device. Follow instructions to the letter as well.
Good luck!

what's the difference between android development and original development?
which one better for my device? i mean the safe one.
thank you.
Original development is exactly that....original work. The regular development section is mostly ROMs made that are based on the original ROMs.... With some changes.
Whats stable is a question you need to discover yourself....by reading the ROM threads....usually the opening post or two for sure...then the last few pages. Or you can simply backup what you have in recovery and start flashing and find out what's good for your needs.

And everything we do here with our phones comes with risks. Always.
So read up and learn and understand..... Before you do anything.

I just confused about the step.
Yes, recovery, then ROM. Again....read carefully before doing anything.

hello, my question is if this ROM works on samsung galaxy s4 active I537, if not so, could you tell me any ROM to work on this device? thanks!
You should take a peak here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/development
and take the time to read the first post (aka op) of each rom thread carefully and choose what you think would best suit your needs.

Hi,
Here is your device section. Any roms for it will be found in the i9500 Android Development and i9500 original Android Development sections. You can browse through and see what appeals to you. And flashing instructions are usually in post number one or so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4
General information can be found in the general section, and questions in the future can go in the Q&A section.
Good luck!
Hello, and thanks for being there!
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3, from Verizon, no longer connected to Verizon, since having retired the phone.
Running the original ROM, but rooted the phone using TowelRoot, easy-peasy!
There is no SD card, and have removed the SIM card, for the purpose of ridding the phone of everything and anything Verizon, but have discovered the bootloader must be Verizon-issued, since the splash screen upon booting is all about Verizon.
Methinks I will need to install a new operating system on the phone in order to truly get rid of all Verizon references, but I need some basic, basic, basic education first, on the topic of root, ROM, bootloader, etc, etc.
Can you point me to threads where a rank noobie can get an education on the basics?
Thanks in advance for your help; me appreciates it!

What Guide do I use for Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T 5.0.1
I have rooted the phone before or so I thought but apparently something didn't take.
I have tried to find what guide to use but there seem to be so many variables and I am a bit lost on the phone terminology that I can't find the information I am looking for.
I am just looking for a guide that gives me step by step for this version
thanks
