There's a few articles online regarding Samsung pushing 4.4 out to our phones. It's just a matter of when. Sprint already has so Verizon can't be to much longer

As usual with Verizon and android updates they are late... usually Verizon is one of the last major carriers to get the update.

Yeah no point in jumping the gun, although I'm starting to jump on this ART bandwagon, 4.4 AOSP is noticeably faster with it enabled.

Yea Art runs great as long as you don't use xposed or any other custom apps. That's the only thing that keeps me from sticking with it. Although Liquid is building a lot of the things I used xposed for right into their rom.

Haven't tried liquid on this phone, I'm more of a touchwiz guy, but so far beanstalk has a lot of the features I use built in.

Yea beanstalk is a really awesome ROM. Definitely my second favorite after liquid now. Both are stable as hell.. And actually I just switched over to ART for good , the latest liquid added a couple more things that I really don't need xposed anymore.
If you need to flash something ...try liquid.

I find that to be highly unlikely. There is going to be a ****load of optimization that will go into updating everything to 4.3 for our phones, while I know the AOSP Devs are fast as hell I don't think even they are that fast.
If you mean stock 4.3...... Well it could be a year before we see anything.

sbrissen posted a pic running 4.3.
While it's not released yet, and it AOSP, it does seem like it will be released VERY soon.
I suggest flashing Hyperdrive ROM and following steps accordingly. This has been my savior everytime I try a new ROM. The developer is amazing. Check it out

All the roms are fast. Everyone should just try each one out and decide which they like the most.

Even stock is fast. I always turn off animations under dev options to give it more "snap". Stock or custom rom.

I'm on stock ME7 with force gpu rendering enabled and this is easily the fastest stock experience I've ever had. Only thing that's been faster was AOSP on my GS3/N2. I definitely can't complain.

Rocking Hyperdrive myself, Touch Wiz is the smoothest I have experienced.
I'm on bone stock me7 nothing changed. Faster then custom mdk ROMs I ran. I gave up. Updated to me7. IDC I have a nexus 7 for my crack flash toy. This is just my phone.

Most of the TW ROMs run pretty well, including stock. However, they all run like junk compared to aosp.

Run Dubbsys Google edition rom stock.
It has Google wallet, ir blaster works. Just a smooth Google experience we all wanted.
It also has the tw camera working, but still not fully operational, which is fine.

I look forward to custom ROM's once we get an unlocked Bootloader again :crying:
This phone is just plain fast. Unless you messed something up during a flash or installed an app thats causing a problem than I don't see a reason why it would be slow at all.

I'm running hyperdrive release 7. 8 is out now but haven't bothered to flash it yet. Really liking 7. I normally don't flash ever release. I skip a few here and there. I wait for a bunch of changes to be made before updating.

Agreed. AOSP is a thing of the past. Time to grow and let go. TW is an amazing thing and I would really like more development from it. Hyperdrive is one of the best TW roms you can get for your S4 right now in my honest opinion. It is very solid and SBreen94 is an amazing developer. Always there for us fellow flashers.

Except when it comes to getting a fully functional camera experience
Well once carriers stop rom updates and tw development slows down, all that comes into effect is aosp since it's constantly being updated; that's in another year from now though.

I have a really hard time staying on an AOSP ROM at the moment...they all seem to have bugs and force closes...cm 10.2 is working pretty well for me right now and the new focus camera is pretty good...also Bluetooth problems as well...still a great rom though...TW is hard to beat though with everything functioning and working perfectly

Is there something different about this rom than the one in the developer section? I am not familiar with Scott's roms and I am running stock MJ7 deodexed. Just wondering if it is worth the switch.

I can't wait for this ROM, i had it for GS4 and it was the perfect balance.
I am guessing the while all of the excess bloat will be removed the Samsung pen functionality will be left behind?

So i followed Surges method, which worked perfectly btw, but i cannot stand stock samsung. Are there any roms that people are flashing after doing this upgrade that work well with SS? i have read through a lot of the Echoe thread hoping that one would work, but there seems to be a ton of confusion as to whether it works and how to get it to work... Can someone shed some light on the situation?
Gonna take some time for safestrap compatible 4.4 ROMs to become available. One reason why im not rushing to nc5

With out MDK boot loader, you won't see AOSP, or a true AOSP ROM running on your phone until kecex has been achieved. Enjoy limited TW

Your going to have to flash some other stuff to with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2720163
Let me first say sorry for an apparently dumb question. I don't have a Verizon gs4 or a gs4 at all for that matter. I'm trying to help out a few family members that have vzw gs4. They recently got an update and aren't happy with it. Some weird volume issues and the battery getting very hot. I'm trying to find out what the latest update was? Are there many people having issues with it and is it known issues by Verizon......can they expect another update soon to fix the issues etc?
I figured where better to ask than the xda gs4 community.
I'm very familiar with Samsung phones and Android in general. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I can see where using your phone for business it should be locked down, however, I would gladly pay $50 to have them just unlock the bootloader.
