Given some of the cool moto x features with its wrist-motion activated camera, always listening, and its notifications, does anyone think it will be possible to port those features to the galaxy s4 in either ROM or zip (for all roms) form? I know the notification option just was released for 4.3 phones, but I'm just curious...
If we got our S4s to work like a moto x but be as fast as an s4 is, that would be amazing. Is this possible, or just wishful thinking? I've been pretty attached to the touchwiz interface, but I would definitely leave it for the moto x features on the S4.
I'm not sure, but I would have to say, with the s4's battery already not lasting too long.. Would you really want all of the features?

I'd have to disagree with that. By the end of the day I typically have over 50% of my battery left. Besides, the moto x has a 2200 battery (given it has a smaller screen and lower quality display). I think for those people who would sacrifice battery life, it would be awesome.
I see your point.. my battery lasts ehh, its nothing like my note 2, but what do you expect.. anyways. I find some of the features useless. Just like some on the s4, but others like the camera and the notifications, those are cool.. If you are willing to sacrifice some battery, they would be worth it!

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?

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.

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!

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.

It's simply an opinion thread, opinions are very welcome! Explain why you like the rom so much and what makes it different from the others, in your experience.
Edit: To those who think this question is too sensitive and might ignite some heated discussion, so be it! Nothing is wrong with comparing roms and experiences, and it's great to highlight the good and bad of each rom in the way each person sees it. This is why diversity is great. Again, if you're not comfortable with this, you're welcome to not click on this thread, you're not the only one in this forum!
I say either carbon or liquidsmooth. ..?

One rom is not better than the other..period. all of the roms have their own unique feature and look. Its all on what a user prefers. Actually, its not wise to ask whats the best. That does nothing but start a war.

It's an opinion thread and just as your opinion is welcome, you're off topic (you're trying to troll this thread). The thread is in the right section, very legitimate question and you have the right to not participate if you think it will hurt you.

Actually mods typically close every one of these threads for the exact reason stated above "no ROM is better than another" or "its rude to devs to say one is better than another"

Best Custom ROM out there...IMO all of them...
Thanks & Thread Closed...
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.

"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.
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!

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..
