I wanna win. I have an S4 but. My wife has a crappy Galaxy Centura. Can't afford a new one. These Moto Gs look nice. Please let me win!

Haha, it's all good man. It was confusing as hell for me at first too. You just have to do alot of reading. So you have a Canadian AT&T S4 right? No your not stuck with stock. Normally on a device, you would need root, custom recovery, and an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom rom. On the...

Ah okay. So your sucessfully rooted now. Have you installed a custom recovery yet? You can't flash anything until you have a Loki modified recovery.

The problem you were encountering was probably something simple. I've noticed that if you have verify apps checked in your security menu it won't let the SuperSu binary install correctly. And you also have to go in and manually update the SuperSU binary before rebooting and flashing back the...

Re: [Beta Testers Needed] Screencast Video Recorder That doesn't really help me. I wasn't a big fan of slim bean. Thanks for the tip though.

Re: [Beta Testers Needed] Screencast Video Recorder Has anyone been able to get this working on their Galaxy S4? I used it on my S3 with no problems but it won't work on my S4. I have tried setting quality to high, disabling hardware overlays and forcing GPU rendering. Nothing works. Mine is...

It's okay I don't mind. For your first rom I would suggest flashing a Touch wiz rom. Reason being that AOSP roms tend to have bugs, and you need to be able to figure out how to solve your own issues when they happen. Touch wiz roms are way less likely to have bugs. At this point I would suggest...

Here is the root method from XDA for your phone. [GUIDE] How to root Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505 and GT-I9500) - xda-developers That's for the I9505 and it looks pretty easy. Just follow the instructions. Don't be intimidating by then command prompt stuff. If you just type it in exactly as it...

Oh crap. I didn't know you had the international version. I apologize for that. I don't believe that it's hard to unlock the international version. Let me go find you a good guide for it. And yeah the smart scroll is kinda lame, i really like the wave your hand to scroll pages feature though.

That depends on what rom you flash. There are basically we kinds of roms for the S4, Touch wiz based roms, and Aosp roms. Touch wiz roms are roms built off of your phones stock software. The software made my Samsung for the S4. If you flash one of these you will keep your TW camera and gallery...

"Should I root my phone?" My response is always going to be: Absolutely. Unless you don't fully understand what exactly root privileges do, and the possibilities it opens up. As for your question: If by "normal touchwiz" you mean stock un-rooted Touchwiz, then the answer is no. SuperSU goes in...

Need more information. What rom are you trying to flash, and what kernel? Are you sure your bootloader is fully unlocked?

Okay, so to help you we need a little bit more information. So you sucessfully rooted your phone and unlocked the bootloader, did you also install a custom recovery? You said that you also used Rom Manager to install CM10. What do you mean by Cyanogen mod boot mode? Do you mean that it displays...

So you are able to get into download mode just fine? I would suggest this thread: [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S3 (+ bootloader brick) - xda-developers It has helped me before and works like a charm. Good luck Edit: Ahh nevermind. I saw that you just posted in that thread. I...

That's awesome man. Glad we could help ya out! Good luck with your S4.
