Galaxy s4 help

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yes custom is better in most cases as far as customizing.

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it
Ok thanks i just got my s4 like 2 days ago lol i love it its so much better than the s3

Is MDC the latest stock recovery for the sprint s4 or is there a MF9 version?

4.4 Kit Kat

So I see on nightlies there is a CM-11 Official AT&T 4.4 Kit Kat for the GS4. How can this be? If it's official then why the need for CM? And if run is running CM, then why Kit-Kat?. I thought CM was a ROM in itself?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Official means that Cyanogen officially supports the ROM and it is not a port.
4.4 means it is the Android version it is based off of.

Ok, thanks. I'm almost ready to press the button on CM.org's installer. Is it true that I first need to download the GApps zip, because I'll lose all my Google Apps? And I have also seen instructions that say to boot into CWM recovery and wipe data/factory reset... But those instructions were for downloading a CM zip to the extSD and then installing it from recovery mode. I'm wondering if I need to do all that if I'm just going to be using the OneClick installer
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I don't know anything about the one click. I don't use CM. It is best to follow the instructions from where you found it. Also, I see you are on the i337. What firmware are you on. If it is MF3 or newer, you will not be able to install CM.

Can you install 4.4 roms if your on mf3 with safestrap?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know.. No.

Do you recommend any specific rom on mf3 using safestrap
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Go back to the Safestrap Discussion thread. There is a list of compatible ROMs. It is entirely up to you what to run.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
We do not recommended or do "best" roms...users are expected to do their own research and make their own, independent determinations.
