  1. Totally useless buy, any S4 can turn into that with an AOSP firmware… and you can find the device for less than the Play store's price 🙂

  2. My only curiosity is that why the GPE models of the S4 and HTC One are in White/Silver only. It might be nice for some that bought or are looking to buy these to get the different colored bodies.

  3. Unlike everyone else TouchWiz isn't laggy for me. My S3 has the 4.3 update and I'm glad to say "about fucking time SAMSUNG". Everything is smooth, color reproduction/contrast has improved, the notification bar is not only translucent, but a little brighter and in white…pretty much a Galaxy S4 without the smart gestures and 13mp camera. I've used Stock before but to me it just gets old after a few weeks…and I have used: Nova, Everything Home, TouchWiz, and even the 4.4 Google home launcher on Phandroid.com . I guess you rather love TouchWiz or you hate it

  4. i dont get why people freak out over stock you can just install say nova launcher it looks exactly the same with just a few settings changes.

  5. A stock un-rooted phone is like a borrowed car. You can use it but you can't do anything to it. So the CM installer would essentially be replacing the engine on that car. If it's still borrowed you won't be able to do it. Once you root the device it becomes yours and no longer borrowed so you may do what you please with it.

    Rooting a Device is pretty safe. The tricky part and the part where most bricks occur is when flashing a ROM. The CM installer just makes that part safe and easy.

  6. Root, and Flash an AOSP rom or CyanoginMod Rom. I have my S3 running Carbon Rom, It's an Android 4.3 Rom and I love it. Just do some research before you try to root and install a custom Rom.

  7. I have the original S4 and after seeing this video I'm not upset I don't have the Google play edition. To lose alot of your features just ain't worth it to me.

  8. OR then you could just buy the original s4 and flash cyanogenmod, and if you think that you need all those samsung trash back you could just flash back to touchwiz

  9. its like buy best device with software can find it in cheapest android device waste of time 600$ fly in the air what make s4 s4 is what samsung put into it

  10. guys stop this !! s4 with or without stock android is very very fast and smooth its one of a hightes end devices in 2013 … if normal s4 is slow then what a bout other devices stones for example ??

  11. Faster updates? Not as ugly (subjective), doesn't slow down as much (tw can really hamper a phone down).
    Of course there are downsides; but that really depends on if you like all the (usually) gimmicky features skins have.
