My phone was originally a developer phone. I did a Verizon update that upgraded it to 5.11 but locked it at retail. This was driving me nuts when I realized how much bloatware and adds were on a locked phone. Plus how much that stuff slows it down. I don't know how people put up with that. I...

I have been running it for a couple days and its nice and stable.

You can format it in a PC with a card reader or in the phone itself. I haven't been stock in a while but I think you can still go into settings - Storage and scroll down to Format SD card. I never formatted my 64GB Sandisk card. I always use the stock kernel with SD swap.

Go into Settings - Custom Settings - Custom App Settings and you should see GPS Quick Fix. Hopefully that will fix it for you.

Jellybeans is one of the most popular ROMs out there. It is known as one of the most stable and the creator is known to add new features as people ask him. There are many posts from users that try other ROMs and always come back to Jellybeans. With 1.8 million views it is very popular on XDA. I...

Jellybeans 21 is up. I'm installing it now.

I tried installing the orange sim card in my wife's S4 while in London and it booted up to a message saying that it wasn't a verizon sim card. I didn't try beyond that.

My wife and I just returned from an awesome vacation. We decided to see the difference an unlocked phone can make. We traveled to Switzerland ( 6 days) and London (4 Days). We are both using Verizon family sharing plan. I have a Galaxy Note 2 rooted with Jellybeans 20 and she has a Galaxy S4...

Jellybeans 20 dropped a couple days ago. It's running great on my note II. I have really been using it for what it's worth. I'm doing some traveling and have put in two foreign SIM cards, one for Switzerland and one for London. Both using Orange networks and were easy to setup and pretty cheap...

I use TiBu but do individual backups. Playstore won't backup/restore Amazon apps.:cool: It doesn't take that long to do and so far I haven't has a problem with it.

I dirty flashed 19 on the 2nd. It has been very stable so far. A lot of the custom menus were cleaned up and the additional options can be easily downloaded and installed now. There is a multi window option like in MS windows but I haven't tried it yet. It looks very cool but you need to set...

I don't normally use multi-window but I turned it on just to see if it works. It seems to work fine for me. You might want to back up your apps with Titanium backup and do a clean install.

I noticed today that with the change of the YouTube app it started locking up when I tried to watch a video. I noticed I was not alone in this. You can use titanium backup to remove the YouTube app, reboot then reinstall it from the play store.

I dirty flashed it last night. It's nice and stable so far.

I just uploaded my avatar and connected my phone to upload the photo. It shows it as SCH-I605 with 17 connected to Win7. I will look and see if I can find the Samsung drivers.
