    Will the Sim card from S4 work in Nexus 5

    They both use Micro SIMs so assuming the S4 isn't on a CDMA carrier you should be fine. That's why GSM is cool :)

    Another newbie question: Will the US version of Nexus 5 work in Europe?

    Believe it will but I think it's missing some LTE bands. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Is Cyanogenmod 10.2 better than Stock android 4.3?

    believe it has a feature that lets you wake the phone with the volume buttons but it doesn't act as power button

    Is Cyanogenmod 10.2 better than Stock android 4.3?

    Depends on what you are looking for from your ROM. Some people like the features, some people like the clean feeling of stock and don't want to be bloated up with features and configuration they don't care about. I prefer close to stock ROMs but CM is nice in that it's good about giving you...

    can i update my rooted nexus 4 from jelly bean 4.2.2 to the newer jb 4.3?

    You'll lose root if you upgrade to 4.3. The previous methods for obtaining root don't exactly work in 4.3, there is a new method though. Two basic options. 1) Flash a stock 4.3 ROM, then re-root. It's basically the same as the update but isn't technically as it's built from AOSP by someone...

    Is there an updated versions you can flash of them? I'm not using twrp but I know after 4.3 dropped cwm updated. Are you booting into recovery by holding down the power and down volume buttons and then selecting recovery? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
