Why has the GT-i9500 not been the best Galaxy S4 model type for custom ROMs?

Hey! I was thinking about trading my HTC One for the GT-i9500 but based off the limited availability of custom roms I am reconsidering. I am just curious as to the reason for the lack of development. Does it have something to do with it's octo processor?

Yup, Samsung's lack of source code.

No kidding? Did they release it for other S4 devices?

Yes Samsung is refusing to release source code for Exynos processor.

you may want to go for the GT i9505 which has a Snapdragon processor (but I don't understand why you would want to trade for a phone that has very similar specs to the One).

Source code mostly comes from Qualcomm thus more development
