Google Play Edition ROM for Galaxy S4!

Check Out The Video!

With the recently released Google Play Edititon phone like the Galaxy S4 and HTC One it was only a matter of time until someone ported them over to the other variants of Galaxy S4. This Google Play Edition ROM port includes everything that the original one has and everything works flawlessly! The Google Play Edition ROM port will work for the Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint! 

This was the first AOSP ROM I installed on my Galaxy S4 since I got it and it is so much better than Touchwiz. You get more memory storage, no lag, and just a clean smooth UI. Since this leak was from the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition, Android should take full advantage of the hardware, especially the Quadcore Snapdragon! 

There are two version of this ROM, one is running on Android 4.2.2 and comes pre-rooted, while the other one is running on Android version 4.3 and doesn't come pre-rooted, however Chainfire has found a way to root the Android version 4.3 for the GT-i9505, AT&T, and T-Mobile. If your running on Verizon or Sprint use the Android version 4.2.2 specifically for your Galaxy S4 variant! 

How to install on AT&T Galaxy S4: 
Download the Android version 4.2.2 or 4.3 of Google Play Edition ROM and flash it. Do Not Reboot Your Device. Flash Loki Doki then reboot your phone. 

How to root using the Google Play Edition 4.3 version [GT-i9505/AT&T/T-Mobile ONLY]: 
1. Flash the 4.3 Google Play Edition ROM (link below).
2. Reboot your phone
3. Download SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip to your phone.
4. Enter back into recovery mode and flash the SuperSU zip file.
5. Reboot your phone, if you asked to disable stock recovery choose "No".

Download 4.3 Google Play Edition ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, AT&T, and T-Mobile

GoldenEye ROM for AT&T SGH-i337 Galaxy S4! App2SD Feature

Check Out The Video!

GoldenEye ROM is an excellent ROM for anyone who is just starting  to understand custom ROMS and still wants to stick to the touchwiz looks and have new useful features for everyday use. GoldenEye ROM is a great ROM that keeps it simple, but still improves your device. 

With the stock look GoldenEye removes all the AT&T and Samsung bloatware to help speed up your Galaxy S4 and make more internal memory room. You also get some nice useful and practical features like menu to kill, stock Android keyboard, hack for free WiFi tethering, and my favorite feature, App2SD! 

App2SD allows your to transfer your app and app data from your internal storage to your external microSD to help free up your internal memory. This feature was originally only available for the Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, but the developer put it on the GoldenEye ROM. One of my all time favorite feature from TouchWiz! 

Download GoldenEye ROM using the link below.
