What's up guys? I'm new to android and rooting. This S4 lag is terrible and im looking forward to rooting. My wish is to completely change my S4 to a pure android experience (vanilla?). What do I need to know?
What network are you on?
AT&T

Well you need to wait for the bootloader to be unlocked and then flash a custom rom when they are made available. As someone new to android be sure to read a lot of various threads to get background knowledge and be careful. Rooting and flashing can potentially break your device if you don't know what you are doing. Just a friendly heads up. We have all been new to the rooting and flashing experience at one time or another.
Read the the threads in depth and best of luck when you make the leap

I've seen more than a few people, some on these forums, some IRL, complaining about lag. I've had absolutely none thus far. Maybe because I'm coming from an older phone? Idk. Seems perfect for me.

I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to so I am hoping someone can assist me or at least point me towards a forum or thread to answer my question.
I read on June 25 Samsung is releasing a galaxy s4 running stock jellybean 4.2.2. Do you know if there is a way just to run stock 4.2.2 on my galaxy s4 at&t version without using custom roms like CM 10.1?
thanks for the help!

So there is no way to get stock jellybean 4.2.2 on my galaxy S4 I337 without using a custom Rom such as CM 10.1?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Yes there will be, its called pure aosp...we just need a dev to compile it for us...hell, maybe ill start downloading the sources tonight and try and compile it...
Edit: I would need a tester though since my sgs4 was taken by my school

By selling my unlocked S4 and buying the dev edition probably costing an extra $50 or something minimal.

If you're gonna sell, sell now because the regular version will certainly drop much lower in price then you're thinking, can promise that. :good:

Hey everyone,
I'm ditching this iPhone 5 and moving on to bigger and better things: S4.
A few nooby questions since I haven't been on android since the G1.
I have AT&T and I heard rooting the s4 is pretty hard for AT&T < is this true? Is there anything I should look for a certain baseband or something?
Should I go with the developer edition or the normal S4? What would be the difference of me buying the S4 and just rooting it and flashing a rom on it?
Now, I'm still use to iphone jailbreaking etc and installing apps, i kinda remember stuff from my g1 because i rooted that too.
As soon as i get the s4 I'm gonna root it and is there a certian mod / update i should be going to? What is the most recommended / best one?
Also this bloatware from AT&T someone said I could remove it all with TI backup ?
And about the microSD, I'd buy the biggest sd i can fit if im buying the 16gb s4 what can be put on the sd?
Thanks!
MOD EDIT: NO SELLING ON XDA

All of your questions are already in most of the att gs4 forum from the general to the Q&A section. It just takes a lot of reading.

I have not been around in a long time... could you someone suggest a fast/stable/google edition rom? In here or via private message....
There just seems to be soooo many ones... so any recommendations appreciated
If someone tells you them via PM.. PM me! I've been looking for good I337m roms but have been using 9505 ones

Try them all and see which one fits your needs. Sorry but these types of threads are frowned upon on Xda.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
"Try them all", if you have unlimited amount of free time and have absolutely nothing better to do.
On a more serious note, do let us know what your needs are. My needs were quite simple, I wanted something very close to stock, but with tethering support, exchange security disabled and a few other minor ones. So I picked Omega. Its meant for the international GS4. And it has been working well for me.
Some people prefer a little more in a custom ROM. Singing and dancing donkeys at startup and shutdown. Default backgrounds with a red devil holding a shotgun. WingDings as the default font. If you want something like this then you might want to look at a different ROM.

No one can suggest something for you as they do not know YOUR tastes. Read the OP of the ROMs on the top page, look at the screenshots, backup with recovery, flash and try each for a day or two.
Hi, I want to buy LG G2 soon, now I'm on HTC One X, and things are little bit different out there if it goes to rooting etc. I guess. So here is my questions:
1.I want to buy phone without any carrier, clean phone from the shop, is there will by a way to root this, because in the forum I see many carriers phone like AT&T, Verizon etc.?
2.Can I root device and than unroot it without any trace to keep my warranty?
3. And can I flash another ROM, Mods etc. and than go back to stock without a trace to keep my warranty?

Isn't Q&A section is for questions? If you don't want to help just don't write at all...
For me simple yes or no for my questions will be ok, so I don't have to dig thru all threads, I don't need instructions I can find them myself, but if somebody give me those answers I will know what to look for exacly, and will know that it make sense to look for it
The problem is you are littering the forum with a redundant question and then rules state to READ AND SEARCH BEFORE STARTING A NEW THREAD.

i've been using LiquidSmooth for a few months and love it....except for one problem... ASOP doesn't play well with the Sprint network. before that Triforce was my driver
I've been trying to get my APN working on this "Echo" s5 port, but ive never had any luck changing these settings (help me!)
I really love the look/feel/options that come from ASOP roms, but apparently I need to go back to an ugly Touchwiz rom in order to reliably connect to sprint's towers (PRL/Profile updates)
So what do you all recommend in terms of stability and tweak-ability (xposed, etc)
right now im looking at NegaLite and Sac's
+1 for Nega. Super stable and devs his own kernel.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer you, both Nega & Sacs are impressive, Nega is more inverted however, I believe you can get the stock theme for it however, Sacs to me has more tweaks from multiple galaxy devices, but thats V6, the recent NG2 is still being updated.
Thank you both for your input. Nega seems good so far so i'll just stick with that until Sac has a chance to update. Parkourkid93, care to elaborate on what Sac used from other Galaxy devices? I'm quite jealous of ultra power save.
Sac Rom!!!
