CM mostly coming to S4!

Steve Kondik recently put up a post on Google+ in response to websites in general that were stating no CM support for the Galaxy S4. He stated that cyanogenmod definitely will support the S4, and hopefully this should put to rest all the rumors on this.

I'd personally stick to stock rom. It's the most stable and offers the most features.

I try and keep my phones for a long time. I'm still using the i9000 and its been almost 3 years now. CM/AOSP is the one thing that helps keep my phone up to date even after the manufacturer stops supporting the device.

He has Mentioned S4 but which S4 GT-I9500 or GT-I9505

let's hope you are true

The one thing I love in Samsung phones over others is the fact that it has a buttload of software features. Now, that being said, what I love more is running AOSP on it or CM which means losing those features BUT if you've heard of dual boot....
Just seeing that post gave me a smile, I know what my next phone is

Cool...:good:

It's highly unlikely that the GT-I9500 [Exynos] variant would get stable CM if Samsung remain stingy with the codes required.

The only reason you're using cm is cause you're using an old phone that doesn't have any special features of touchwiz that came after the S3 and Note 2. I had the GS1, and I couldn't handle using stock for that. But after the S3, things have changed. Now Samsung offers much more on top of being the most stable and smoothest. There is no reason to lose features, even simple features such as MHL is gone with paranoid android. I am back on stock and can't be happier knowing things are smooth and no stupid bugs.

^^^^^^ totally disagree. May lose some Sammy features, but CM /AOSP offers the best customization and smoothness.

It's all a matter of taste. Samsung has been including lots of customizations to its Touchwiz interface for the past couple of years.
Customizations that were only included on CM before are now present on Touchwiz and I'm really glad Samsung is paying attention to what people want.
That's my understating of it anyway. I'll still flash CM ROM's when a new Android comes just to see how it is before having to wait for Samsung to update it.

Yes, I agree with you on that. Samsung does stuff in enough features that you may not need CM/AOSP. But my concern is still about after Samsung stops supporting the handset for android upgrades. I doubt I would have been able to run my i9000 on GB till now.

Why not have the best of both worlds? Use the handset with stock for the first year or so, and then when Samsung is getting slow on the updates (or stopping) start rolling with AOSP. In a similar way when I built my computer I ran my processor and GPU like normal for a few years. After that, I started overclocking to help keep pace with games and stuff. That is, unless you intend to upgrade every year in which case it won't matter as much.

Agreed. To me that's the biggest upside of AOSP ROMs, having the latest version of Android. When you've always got the latest software it's a lot easier to hold onto your hardware for a while longer. I plan to stick with stock for quite a while.

Not necessarily. From my experience, touchwiz based ROMs get better battery life, stability etc. than CM. Or at worse, it's barely noticeable, even if such differences do exist. And you miss out on awesome dev - like Perseus on AOSP (best kernel for Note 2/SGS3 IMHO).

Can't wait to overclock an overclocked CPU with some CM!

Galaxy S4 Google Edition

The Google edition of this phone looks incredible, although its really expensive. I don't know if its even worth it, when ROMs like AOKP are available. I have a few issues with the idea of buying it or the desire to do so.
When the Google edition comes out, will the device even be able to use the hardware like the IR blaster? Also, will users on the ATT and other models be able to flash the ROM/firmware anyway?
What do you guys think? Are there any other advantages to the Google edition?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium

No IR support. Rumor has it for 4.3 release supposedly. If you don't have the Google edition you can't install it on none google versions and you won't get updates from Google. However I am sure there will be Dev who port it for the telco vendor versions to work.

That's so strange that they'd even consider selling hardware with components that aren't supported. So besides stock jelly bean (which doesn't even have the features of AOKP), the Google version has almost no advantages? And for more than three times the price? I saw earlier that they're on pre-order on eBay for $850. What's the point? I must be missing something.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium

This is the point, the Google Edition devices are meant to be developer friendly and showcase stock vanilla android...the IR blaster is something thats proprietary hence no AOSP code is available for it (stock android), drivers/source needs to be released for those components... the Google Edition devices are bootloader unlockeable unlike the ATT version (ours uses a bypass exploit to install custom things which by all accounts has been patched in a future OTA due to be released)....also they come factory sim unlocked...they will get Google Updates first before carrier branded devices, think of them as Nexuses without the Nexus name. I won't be getting a GE S4 as I have a Nexus and will wait for the next Nexus, however I'm excited to see the GE released as it means AOSP code will drop, this will help devs tremendously in fixing issues such as bluetooth.

It's less about the phone itself.
1. Having a stock rom version appeals to many advanced users, such as us on XDA. It has the stock experience, without the nexus line limitations, such as the SD card. It makes their die hard fans happy and most of us are very enthusiastic about it.
2. It is a key strategic move by Google. By allowing other manufacturers to sell "stock" versions on the play store, Google can move ahead and sell Motorola phones from the store without appearing to be biased to their own hardware. They're telling consumers they have options.

Unlike Apple this is what I like about Google. Give me options and let me decide which I want.

Idk about you guys but I find this amazing! I have fallen in love with the ir blaster I wish they would have it in the Google s4
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

Rumor is Android 4.3 will have native support for IR blasters.
I'd rather have an RF capability though.

I'm in a bind myself of what to do with the Google Edition S4. While I know that with this available to developers, ROMs will become much more stable, but really I'm not interested in that. I want to be able to completely flash my S4 to the Google Edition essentially, the biggest thing being able to receive OTA updates from Google. I imagine just downloading an image of the GE S4 and just flash it with Odin for example, and just go.
Is that realistically something that could happen, or is that just completely out of the question? I'm trying to avoid having to drop $650 on the same phone I already have, but don't want to wait to find out I can't do what I want, then be stuck with another Nexus 4 fiasco, where it's back-ordered for 2 months

Totally in the same boat. I got this S4 last week and I'm already hearing that I'd have to drop $650US for the GE
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda app-developers app

Personally I would not drop 650 on a phone you already have. You want the Google experience install CM10.1. You want touchwiz and IR you can go back to Samsung ROM. Plus I am sure DEVs will have the image ported to our phones. Its a waste of money imo. I would rather save that money for the new nexus or x phone.

How does google know exactly which devices are "Nexus" devices? Do they send the updates out to a list based on known Nexus/GE IMEIs, or is there something in the ROM that sends a beacon to them asking for the udpates, or?
I'm really hoping I can just flash the GE ROM to my S4 and slip into the update loop like the rest of the Nexus/GE owners.

I can't speculate on how the phone actually gets the ROM update and/or how the almighty Google gods know which device it is, but I do know that when people got their LG Optimus G's running the Nexus 4 software, they were able to pull down OTAs from Google directly.

How many times can the same conversation be had on this site?

Careful now, he might actually believe it.

I am still trying to figure out the logic of wanting the stock AOSP for the S4 from Samsung.
How will this be any different from running any other AOSP rom? I mean, if you check out PA GamerZ ROM, that works quite well as a daily driver. Why would we want to use this stock AOSP (with features that are quite basic)? Just to get 4.3 when it comes out? So? Some dev will port that anyways.
I mean, if someone bought the S4, wasn't it for the features? If anyone wanted stock AOSP then why not Nexus 4? Ok if hardware is the question, then really waiting for the next Nexus isn't that hard.
So can someone explain to me why?

For someone like me, it's not about running the stock AOSP on S4. It's about how it can improve the AOSP based custom roms like CM, PA, etc.
Hopefully, Samsung/Google will release proper source codes as quickly as for Nexus devices so that custom roms can run better on S4.
I've been using GS3 (i9305), mainly with CM for the last 10 months or so. It works ok as a daily driver, but not as well as it could've been, mainly because not all the necessary sources are available/released.
I tried Nexus 4 for about a couple of weeks and running CM was definately more fluid/enjoyable than on GS3.
But I couldn't really get used to not having the physical home button and lack of storage space. If GS4 Google Edition is released with exact same hardward as normal i9505, then this will be almost perfect - custom roms running as well as on Nexus devices with physical home button and MicroSD slot.

In simple terms.
Google gets to have its vanilla version of Android on a flagship device without having to subsidize the cost of designing the hardware.
Unlike Nexus devices where Google invests R&D money to make the hardware... having Samsung and HTC put a version of Stock Android on the device pretty much absolves Google of any financial liability in relation to hardware development.
Nexus devices are traditionally spartan... and Google likes it that way... but what if mobile manufacturers want to have nexus compatible device with all the bells and whistles... they will all compete on who has the most Nexus compatible device.
This will attract developers and customers that prefer the stock Google experience
Bear in mind also Google is still developing their Motorola flagship device... this has handset makers very jittery.
Having a GE also puts the latest Android on a device and puts pressure on the makers of the device to move build it out into their MAIN version of Android.
So Key lime pie or 4.3 should come quicker on the HTC and S4 than would be tradtional.
Another issues is transparency.
For too long handset makers have said "our phone can't run the latest version of Android" when we know they lie.
Samsung has been good.. the S2 has JB while the HTC Sensation 4G has all but been dumped by their makers.
Companies that have a Google edition will have that extra edge in longevity.

Android 4.3 Leaked... Portable to S3?

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/28/android-4-3-spotted-on-samsung-galaxy-s-4-available-now/
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/28...05-ported-from-google-play-edition-gt-i9505g/
It's been ported to a Snapdragon processor so I figure that opens at least some opportunity for a port to the U.S S3. Just wondering if it was possible.

Cool will see

My guess would be no, but who knows. I know things like hardware files, libs, kernel, etc. Would have to be worked on because that is a quad core processor. Our US S3's are only dual core.
It would be easier to port to a US S4, since the hardware is the same.

If you have read both articles it is meant for the s4 so no it won't be on our phones. It takes way more time and skills to port a quad core optimized 4.3 to a dual core device for that the devs should get paid for the time spent. It makes sense for the devs to spend what little free time they have on a 4.1.2 Touchwiz and 4.2.2 stock Android made especially for our device.

Why wait for a port of 4.3 when the actual source comes out it will be better. Not a big rush to get 4.3 not much a different

No as no one wants to crow bar firmware meant for a higher end version of the phone.

Samsung is pushing wearable devices (e.g. its Smartwatch) which uses Bluetooth's new low-powered features in Android 4.3. Because the Smartwatch requires being connected to one's phone for optimal use, can we assume that Samsung will want to release a 4.3 version of Touchwiz for the Galaxy S3?

Personally, I have yet to find a 4.3 ROM/Kernel combination where I can get all of the features I want.
1. Photosphere camera that doesn't FC. Either FFC or FFVC always locks me up. I have a 4 year old daughter and I can't be messing around with reboots if I need to cath her doing something silly.
2. Group SMS. (PAC ROM has this, but I haven't seen any others.) I am not interested in GoSMS or Handsent.
TW gives me the Samsung Camera, and I can install the Photosphere camera and use with no issues.
TW gives me reliable Group SMS.
If you know of a 4.3 ROM/Kernel combination that will allow me to use ALL features of the Photophere enabled camera, please advise me.

I guess you mean 4.3, your Note 10.1 is currently on 4.2.2 if you are using Cyanomod 10.1
About 4.3, you can expect some improvements on multi user support (like blocking some apps for each user), a better phone app, the new gapps so the new camera and hopefully better battery performance. No big deal in my opinion

I believe we all would like to get 4.2/4.3 OTA update from Samsung. For people like me, multiwindow tasking is very important and I don't want to lose it with CM/AOKP. It is very weird that Samsung hasn't updated our Note 10.1. I still think it is by far the best choice in tablets world. Lets keep our fingers crossed, so Samsung updates directly to 4.3 (So then this delay feels reasonable) and also includes Multi-User.

Samsung said that note 10.1 will get an update to 5.0 and from some sources I heard we will directly get it. But this was before android 4.3. So I guess we are in queue for android 4.3. Klp is a pretty long way off.
