Should I flash recovery or no? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Because I get my sd card, friday and thats when I was gunna flash it, so I could do a nan droid on my sd card, but my phones already rooted, and im getting the itch to flash a rom, plus, my battery life isnt that great, so im hoping a rom will fix that, any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I would suggest since you're already rooted you should flash a recovery just so you can backup stock and efs.
Rom wise, if you want you want better battery life try different roms and kernel combos.
Best of luck

What do you mean Nand weirdly?
The backup you make is just going to go onto your internal storage in your CWM/TWRP folder.
You don't need a sd card to do any of the things you mentioned!

Nothing is going to go wrong without a sdcard card. Like the person above me said it will just go into internal memory.

At&t CM10 Official Jelly Bean Rom out now

Cyanogen posted a official thread in development section with the rom for AT&T and Sprint.Everything seems stable for the most part. We can use this thread to talk about the Rom so we don't clutter the development thread. If cyanogen or any member makes a thread this one can be erased or merged.
Update find all the latest builds here.

Edit:7/20/2012
Cyanogen updates Rom fixes camera and retains root after flash. Super user zip is no longer needed. Fixes mtp and a couple other things. Pretty much a stable from.
Here are the jellybean gapps thanks to: gharris

RIGHT!
Stock runs so well; I've been like - dang I'm getting 2-3 days of battery. Battery was the MAIN issue I rooted my Epic 4G.
Though CM10 - this is another matter all together; I ran CM9 it was really nice (though battery was a major issue). Very interested in CM10

Hey all
I created a CM10 thread for FAQ and questions/answer compilation here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28897921#post28897921
I hope to get 1 point to make things easy to find
i wish i felt confident that it wouldnt wipe my imei but you never know.
What chance is there that CM10 will eventually come to the Verizon version? Is development for the Verizon version going to be poor?

It will come. Phones are really not that much different. And u can get unlocked bootloader from Samsung.

Installing apps to the sd card on an att galaxy s4

I need a method for installing apps to my sd card on my 16gb galaxy s4. I have tried using the folder mount app but this method only stopped my apps from working. I heard that there had been a ota update released that integrates this into the stock software, but I haven't heard any news about it coming to the att galaxy s4.

So far app2sd has just come out for the I9500/9505. you should be able to run one of the I9505 Roms with no problems.

Folder mount works best way better than apps 2 sd in a rom I have 7 gbs of games moved to my sd card and still have 7gbs free on internal storage with over 100 apps installed

[Q] Can't move apps to sd using SACs custom rom v4.1 [SOLVED]

I'm having issues moving apps to my sd card, I keep getting an error not enough space even though I have 59gb available. I've tried reformatting the card in my phone but that doesn't work, any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I found a couple articles and forms saying the cause of this could be because of the 4.3 update, has anyone else using 4.3 experienced the following error message when trying to move an app to external sd card "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space"?

Good idea, another user suggested I reformat the sd card using Philz Recovery (I selected exFat format) then rebooted and was able to move apps
