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

I think sami doesnt support anymore us. But u can install stock 4.2.2. Or cyanogenmod...as custom rom
Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk
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 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.
Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500) is getting the Lollipop update in Russia,
What’s that you say? Another device getting the Lollipop update? That’s right, yet another Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506), is being updated to the latest version of Android as we write this, a week after the standard Galaxy S4 received the update. What’s notable about the Lollipop update for this device is the fact that it is already available in three different regions (Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Germany), though maybe that’s not so impressive considering the Galaxy S4 LTE-A was never that widely available in the first place.
The update has a common build number for all three countries (I9506XXUDOA6), and is based on Android 5.0.1 like the Lollipop update that has rolled out for other Samsung devices. You can upgrade your Galaxy S4 LTE-A using Kies right now, or wait for the OTA notification to show up. Advanced users can also download the firmware for their respective region from our firmware section and upgrade manually.
You can also keep track of where the Lollipop update has been released for the Galaxy S4 LTE-A through the tracker embedded below, and also check out Android 5.0 in action on the Galaxy S4 in our exclusive hands-on video.
Samsung has released Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update with version G360VVRU3BOH3 for the Galaxy Core Prime (SM-G360V) on Verizon’s network in the US.
News Source
Android 5.1.1 for Galaxy Core Prime also brings the much awaited fix for the Stagefright security vulnerability that was recently discovered in Android, it will certainly be a welcome addition for people who already own the device.
Is it possible to get KitKat on the S6? Is there any way to get kitkat for the S6? Ive seen a few "ports" of roms for different devices and was wondering if there was nything like that for the s6 in regards to previous android OS'.
Could I say.. install s4, s5 roms like the back-to-note port of the Note 3 for the s6?
The first Galaxy S6 is a 64-bit device is closed source, that means that the development is thwarted by Samsung.
With much trouble getting a Rom is based on AOSP and Marshmallow.
And the main thing, this phone has come with lollipop factory, building kitkat be a headache.

That's the way it is. In addition, does not go with the bootloader.
