with root (named superuser permissions) you can do all thing that you desire with your phone (but not cofee or sex LOL)
1-FLASH A CUSTOM ROM
2-FLASH A CUSTOM KERNEL AND OVERCLOCK YOUR PROCESSOR (SET UP THE PROCESSOR SPEED)
3-CHANGUE THE BASEBAND RADIO
4-FLASH A RECOVERY MENU FOR TO RECOVER YOUR ROM IF ANYTHING GOES BADLY IN YOUR DEVICE
5-FLASH COOL THEMES FOR CUSTOMIZE YOUR ROM
ETC ETC ETC
YESTERDAY I WAS SOLVED THE SAME QUESTION FROM ANOTHER USER TAKE THE LINK:

alright so i had one of my friends who has the vibrant on tmobile help me root and install darkys rom on my phone. since i had no idea i just let him do it since he has it on his phone. we rooted it use the onesuperclick. we took off the bloatwear and then put the rom on the sd card loaded it up in recovery and did the recovery then installed it. my phone hard bricked. nothing comes up or no download mood nothing even when pluged. but no worries i just send it to tmobile. but i wanna know if anyone can give me a guide to do this step by step so it dosent happen again when i get my phone back. thanks
The vibrant roms do not work on the 4g....until they are ported to 4g with the proper mods made to the rom they will cause a brick everytime
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
1. no matter how much it looks like it, the s4g isn't a vibrant. there are as of yet no custom roms available.
2. people like you and your friend are the reason carriers and manufacturers are going towards more restrictive ability to root and signed/encrypted bootloaders
theirs no roms for the 4g?

I would like to start helping with development. I'm getting pretty good with messing around with android. I work for T-Mobile and I've had android since the G1.
I'd like to start contributing to the family.
So my question is pretty open. Where should I start for learning about android development? Any advice and help would be appreciated.

Perhaps I should ask in a general forum. Maybe this isn't the correct place to ask.

What would I need to do if I was to trade this sgs4g for a LG g2x? Trading with a friend not at the store.would we just swap sim cards or what? Reason I'm asking is cause u said u work 4 T-Mobile. Just want to know what I would need to do to put it on my plan and give him mine. Any help is appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
You can swap Sims. That's all you need to do. However the warranty will be under him still. If you have insurance, it will cover the G2x. But you wont have the warranty.

at their site it might show it but its different to incorporate it in Rom Manager
I updated too but did not find our device in the list. I looked at the zip and its full of stuff.
I renamed that zip to update.zip and put in root of sd card, boot to clockwork recovery 3.2.0.0. I didn't try anything further, don't know if there is any difference beside version number.
