How come S4 roms (Omega and Arrow) both ask users to flash to specific modem first then only flash the rom? I remember there was no such need on S3 and Note 2. After flashing to their modem, do we need to flash back to our local modem?

Previously, i think it was andrew who recommended me ARHD. It was a very good stable rom. Much better than Omega. Unfortunately, not available on S4 i9500. Anyone can recommend something as good as ARHD?

because, flashing modems other than XXUBMG9 and UBUBMH1 will lead to loss of IMEI which really make some users go nuts as you will also lose mobile connection (cannot make calls, no wifi and etcetera)

ARHD is an AOSP roms. so far, theres only CM, AOSP, PAC, Slim, HaloGen roms. they are all basically have the same base as ARHD.

but do note that, ALL CM-BASED ROMS ARE NOT YET STABLE.

current CM bugs :-
1) bad mic/sound quality
2) cannot take videos
3) random reboots

theres always TouchWiz based roms for you to flash, for example, the one you mentioned earlier, Arrow and Omega.
if you really like AOSP roms that much, try Arrow rom as the developer has already installed Domination theme which really looks a lot like pure AOSP rom.

if you really wanna know more about AOSP roms, follow this thread bro

I have some buggy experience with Omega 14. So i kept a nadroid copy of that, and now switch to arrow. Not really into aosp or any in particular. Just want to have something that would allow me to do some customization like changing the battery icon, toogles, ... the rest can use Nova or Apex to customized. And once I get a good stable rom, I hardly change or play around with anything else.

I often stick to TW based cos I like the swipe left swipe right to sms or call feature.

Arrow is a really good choice cuz i myself am using Arrow rom v7.2 bundled up with ComaDose tweak pack and Perseus kernel

Thanks.. will research into that... now still trying to figure out Xpose, Viper4Android FX and XHiFi... I'm confused with the driver to download for Viper4Android. GT-I9500 is using cortex A15 and A7, right? The options for download is A15 and A9 with NEON, or A8 with NEON... so which should I download?

Wanamlite...
ARHD don't have Exynos model for compiling and made the rom yet

A15 and A9

Hi guys..what's the latest stock malaysia firmware for i9500? Can't seems to find it on sammobile website..

Wanam = /! This Rom is NOT Deodexed /!
Any disadvantage? I think cannot use 3 minit settings without deodexed? I tried wanam on S2, S3... ok, user friendly.

Oh... but I don't need to get 3 minit cos he has wanam xposed framework, which is about the same as 3 minit?

I9500XXUBMG1_I9500OLBBMF9_XME

Where can I download those firmware?

It's A7 and A15 bro.

Sammobile.com
Need to register first then only can download.

aiyah... sorry arh...

A15 Neon.

Wanam is an odexed rom.

There are 2 types of rom, odexed and deodexed. Odexed normally is muchmore faster while deodexed has more freedom to modify.

Anybody using SGP Neo Hybrid? Is it possible to use just the frame without the black piece?

Can the frame fit without the soft inner layer..?
Beside..the hard frame will easily scratch your phone bezel.
