For this week’s AT&T, T-Mobile, Canadian, and GT-i9505 ROM of the week, check out Echoe ROM.
Based on the latest Android 4.3 leak for GT-i9505, Echoe ROM brings you the latest Android 4.3 TouchWiz to all AT&T, T-Mobile, Canadian, and GT-i9505 Galaxy S4 smartphones. (For T-Mobile, you will lose WiFi-calling, so if you absolutely need that stick with another T-Mobile based custom ROM.)
With Android 4.3, you will get some performance/battery boost and if you do use a Galaxy Gear smartwatch, this ROM will make your Galaxy S4 fully capable to run Gear Manager app.
Other notable features on Echoe ROM include Ausdim Kernel (which is built for Android 4.3 TouchWiz) with support up to 2.16Ghz overclocking, ex-fat support for microSD cards, screen-off torch (Settings->My Device->Display->Torchlight), pop-up browser from Note 2, X4Video player from Xperia Z, Android 4.3 PhotoSphere camera and more.
Overall, this is the best Android 4.3-based TouchWiz ROM I have tried so far, so if you want to try out the latest Android 4.3 TouchWiz today (instead of waiting for months for Samsung to push one out for your S4), give it a test drive this week(end) and do let me know what you think!

Hi
Can you please let us know the full procedure of installing a custom rom?
You are mentioning to bring the phone in recovery
do b I need to install a recovery package?
Thanks
Installed this rom and i keep loosing service. BELL Canada galaxy s4!! any solution to that?
ive got the same issue along with massive lag… this rom has to go lol
I really like this rom, but mu SIM Card is not working. 🙁
The signal gets lost when the screen is off… I have the t mobile variant. Any fix for this???
same problem here…. you fixed it?
Can this ROM be installed in a Galaxy S4 i337m?
I flashed this ROM with safestrap and when I reboot, it just shows the Recovery and then I tap, Continue, and the screen turns black for about 30 seconds and reboots. What am I doing wrong? I am running 4.2.2, its a AT&T I337 with MF3.
SafeStrap For AT&T MF3? wifi dont workeli
Did you flash loki doki and the mf3 file for safe safe strap after installing the rom
Or did you fix permissions through safe strap
Those usually work for me
I had the signal problem also. It would randomly go off and on. So back back to Task650 AOKP 4.3.1 rom.
I installed this ROM yesterday. I NEEDED LOKI-DOKI to make it work on my AT&T SGH-1337. AFter that, things seem to be working well so far.
I’m still liking this ROM a lot. I had to re-set the APN to get 4G data connection out of town; the new APN works better in my home area, too (Phila, PA) . Connection doesn’t get lost anymore like it frequently did with Wicked v7
Hi Larry,
I’m thinking of flashing this Rom too I wanted to know how did you reset the APN to get it to work properly.Thanks in advance.
@Jessica,
settings > more networks > mobile networks > Access Point Names > [whatever name you have as your current APN – I changed the name on mine when I reset it]
settings I’m currently using:
Name: AT&T LTE
APN: pta

Password: Not set
Server: cingulargprs.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

APN protocol: IPv4

Mobile virtual network operator type: None
Mobile virtual network operator v… Not set
I got these off XDA developers site with a little research, and there were other APN settings I could have tried; however, these established the connection immediately where I had none before, I got 4G immediately, and have had absolutely no trouble since then (about a week and a half).
I had considered maybe getting another modem to fix the problem, but have decided I don’t need to — since changing the APN, my phone and data connection are now strong, have never disappeared like on other ROMS, and I am almost continuously on 4G when I am off a WIFI site. My data connection also seems much faster than any other ROM I’ve used. I’m very happy with the whole set-up, though I have had a couple unexpected reboots and one of those times my setup came back up in German, so I restored from a backup I made a couple days earlier.
Oh yes, I am overclocked to 1.998
SGH-i337
AT&T
Hope that all helps
@larry So let me get this right all you changed was the apn and you stop loading data when the screen goes off and where on xda did you get them link please I’m on t-mobile
@markworks,
sorry I don’t check this thread often. You are correct, once I altered the APN settings, my data connection no longer got lost.
Here’s the link I used to find the settings : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358355
unfortunately, you will see that it is specific to at&t .
I looked briefly for a t-mobile link, and here is the one I came to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352547. I can’t vouch for the settings there, since I haven’t tried them, but read through, you’ll probably find what you need.
good luck
way to many bugs… getting a new rom
Does this 4.3 ROM trip the Knox 0x0 flag?
Didnt work. Gave me a yellow triangle and said that it found software not authorized by att.
Hi, needs to install loki_doki.zip before ROM. Thats works for my ATT S4.
Return to CW recovery an install the loki_doki.zip, this should be solve the triangle warrning.
Flashed this Rom keeps losing data connection and signal
Xda forums gave a solution was to odin the mj5 stock modem
But when you try to flash it it fails been working it this problem for the last few days
But other than that this rom is fast.
If anyone comes up with a solution “max”?
Please post it here with a link to the files
Ii have the t-mobile galaxy s4
I had this problem too. I found that this ROM installs as a european version. After I went into build.prop and set my phone back to its default settings as a SGH-M919 this problem went away
Question I am new at this, I managed to get a partial fix when changed to roaming. Will you be so kind to share those settings so I can finally have a full fix? Thanks
Yea me too what exactly did you change in the build prop explain more
I’ve installed this rom about ten times tried flashing the mj5 modem but had problems with
Odin. With your fix did you stop losing data
I have the same issue have not been able to fix the problem even changing the build.prop
@markworksfx1 did you tick the ‘phone’ box instead of the ‘pda’ in odin when flashing the mj5? Also I had to delete the .md5 extension from the file I downloaded so you end up with .tar. My international gt-i9505 is running great with the Echoe 5+ in combination with the mj5 (connection trouble before I had flashed the mj5).
@Mrdj I have the T-mobile Galaxy s4 and was running echol v6
not v5 will but I checked the pda box and odin it as md5 . So let me get this stright
1. Rename the file by taking the md5 off
2. Tick the phone not the pda
3. After the phone reboots and you set it up
4. Odin the mj5 modem tick the phone box
if i got something wrong reply back
will try it again thanks for your help
Can’t change zip file to .tar have to flash through twrp and the mj5 moden flie I have is a zip too
was about to try it again but got stuck on trying to odin the file thought I’ll wait til I get a reply
Maybe you are not going to believe it. I couldn’t myself, but to fix that go to mobile network and check allow data on roaming. That’s it problem solved your data won’t be interrupted when the screen is off
Does this work with safestrap?
@mark I’m really not an expert and don’t want to give wrong advice. All I know is I had downloaded a mj5 file that was .tar.md5 When it wouldn’t flash a Google search told me to simply delete the .md5 That flashed ok with Odin set to phone. Perhaps it’s in the zip file?
I installed the ROM on my GT-I9505.
Phone boot-looped.
I was able to boot into recovery and install Bobcat v5.1 and then v6.

I lost root during the process…any idea why??
I have everything working on this rom and love it, except one thing. GOOGLE Wallet, when I install the 2 files to make it work, it breaks the NFC on the device. I’ve found that some ROMs will do that but the cause is unclear. Has anyone encountered this and know of a solution?
@mark what did change in the build prop
Does this work with safestrap??
Download from play store root explorer
Open then navigate to Settings and in that folder you will see Build.Prop
Open with RB editor then replace the international galaxy name the I 9505 to SGH-M919
And try this rom with KT kernel for 4.3 its awsome, fast and non lag descent battery life
Not settings I ment system, but no good I got same issues with signal loss
I notice Max don’t help much with this issue on here considering its his site and he put these touchwiz 4.3 ROMs on here.. If 4.3 don’t work right on tmo or at&t over here with this signal problem why put it here then to start with … CHECK IT OUT FIRST …!!”
Well said. Its like he just dont give a shit about it. Faulty ROMs and he make videos saying how perfect they are. I am not coming back to this website ever again. Also I will troll as hell this website on every social media I am aware of.
Hi Mick don’t no what phone you have but have you tried kit kat 4.4 Kang Bang Rom for Tmo Gti9505 stable works fine been using it for few days now.
Hey thanks!! The thing is that I like the tw features thats why I wanted to use this rom. I heard that the the gummy rom is very stable and have tons of features. Maybe I try both and let you know.
Hey guy’s any idea as to how to get around knox from JB 4.3 just downloaded a few days ago and I have tried to get around to rooting my S4 and God help me I have tried different ways to no avails cannot root. When it comes to the end of loading on ODIN you see a quick flash that says reset disconnect and still the same had I known I would not have installed it, it sucks anyways and no way to install CWM please help a good old Canadian. S4 I9505
You can always do plan B…have your mobile provider unlock the phone for you and that will solve all issues….I’m using the SGH i337M from Telus and I didn’t have any issues rooting my device…does your computer have the right Samsung drivers installed?
Sorry could you reply via email as to my previous post
