Samsung releases Google edition 4.4 update - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

http://androidspin.com/2013/11/25/s...gle-play-edition-android-4-4-files-available/
Could we possibly flash this on our devices? I'd take a stock 4.4 over TW 4.2 any day.

I believe it would have to be ported over first.

I prefer vanilla Android over the Samsung touchwiz gui. At least give the consumer a choice.

Exactly. The cell phone carriers provide a service only, we should be able to do with whatever we want with our phones.

:what: you can get one on Verizon too..... Unless I'm mistaken and the gpe edition and dev edition are not the same thing? Never really looked into either that much because I think paying $800 for something that should cost only $300-$400 dollars is stupid. I may have to jump on that train though someday if these phones keep getting harder and harder to unlock like they have been

Next phone?

Galaxy Note II is the obivous answer or should I wait for the III? I also have been looking at the LG and Motorola and Sony and HTC (ALL HAVE TO BE 5" OR ABOVE ) .
The Note has proven to me that the 5 inch screen is a big plus and anything below 5 wouldnt quite do it for me , just not so sure about anything else , the s pen doesnt mean squat to me though , a faster processor , bigger battery (longer life), more ram , bigger hard drive , man sounds like the old pc days !
Wait for the note III man. Its coming in September. Well announced maybe released in October or November. But yeah wait for the note III

Although I don't want to encourage you leaving the Galaxy Note behind , I've read the LG Optimus G Pro E980 is pretty good. It sports a 1080P 5.5" screen.
I'm waiting for the 3!
Was waiting for the Note III now waiting for the Nexus 5 unless Google royally screws it up. Both out in October.
I haven't heard like any rum ours or anything about the nexus 5 0_0

Isn't there a thread pretty much similar to this..about how long you gonna keep your note.... Sorry but I can't stand similar threads... They should be combined

Combine away , I don't usually read anything but the dev section so I'm guilty of not looking to see if there were similiar tgreads

The Intl ones have root but nothing for ATT yet. Stock is sort of interesting right now and learning about the multi screen. I think this is the first I've been stock for more than two days.
I would like to have root to get rid of all the ATT bloat. I will say this phone allows me to turn off most of the apps so they don't show in the app drawer.

After a little research, it seems ATT started locking their bootloaders beginning with the Galaxy S IV...of course the S IV has plenty of dev support.
Until some great dev helps me out.....I'm just going to enjoy my big ole phone

I dont know if you guys know this or not, but porting rom isnt easy let alone stock firmware. You realize that not only do you have to figure out what kernel modules are needed, you also have to figure out how to make the rom compatible on a device with slightly different hardware.

So you were able to modify the linked ROM to work on your VZW S4?
Are you running, the MDK firmware still?

No the s cover with the Window in it so you can view the time and check for notifications. That's why I don't use aosp cause I like that feature.

Anyone who still has mdk has it because they want it and have already rooted and froze or deleted sdm or have a ROM without it. You won't find anyone with mdk who will trade you.
Your best bet for an MDK device is most likely eBay, Craigslist, Swappa, etc.
