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

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...

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:

Good day everyone!
Is it the only option to buy the unlock "service" from ebay? One more question, by flashing a rom like CM or MIUI, can I unlock the phone? I am going to travel abroad so that is why I am asking... I read the Q&A post but did not find the answer.
Thank you very much for your answer and sorry for my noob questions
there is free unlock from hidden menu on this forum somewhere. You might want to search.

Don't just look around the Q&A. There are other subforums like General and what not. Instead of posting a question without searching just search. You will get an answer quicker that way.

Loving the QuickWindow feature of this phone, but disappointed by the small number of apps that support it and the limited functionality of it. The Galaxy S4 version allows for complete reading of incoming text messages as well as their dismissal. And also to visibility of who your missed calls are from too I think..
It would be great for Google Play Music to be supported also.
So I guess this is a request for development along those lines... Thanks!
Have you tried understanding XDA forums and learn where to create threads. Wow its getting annoying.

No I haven't. Sorry. I knew there were specific forums for specific purposes, and knew this was not the section to post a question, but thought a development request was fitting. I apologize. Admin, please delete thread as I've already posted it in the General Help Q/A section..

don't let it get to you !! and thanks for your hard work am keeping an eye on things and watching development of the g2 as I have an n4 and a g2 its brand new and although i'm rooted and twrp ed I am a little reluctant to mess with it until I know it a little better
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.
