So I got the s4 a week ago and so far it's been alright but I'm kind of questioning if I should switch to the htc one? The s4 seems too bogged down with touchwiz and has good specs but it seems like they don't run extremely well ex. the camera seems great if I'm not moving at all and if I have good lighting but otherwise doesn't seem to do too well. Additionally I made the stupid mistake of updating to the locked bootloader when I got my s4 so I can't load a custom rom to get rid of the weight of touchwiz and things of that nature. I'm not trying to hate on the s4, I'm just picky and that's been my experience so far. I'm mainly looking for responses from people who have had both phones but I do like any input you can offer.

Also....you CAN root and get rid of or freeze bloatware.
I feel you. The one is a great phone but if rooting and ROMing is your thing the one isn't a good alternative... I'd wait the full fourteen days and see what happens with the x or the one. The s4 is by no means a shabby phone though

No I cant comment on personal experience with the HTC One but I can in regards to a ME7 S4. I do agree with the previous comment by brycekerr stating that the S4 is by no means a shabby phone. There's a lotta talk about the S4 not being significant enough of an upgrade from the S3...I disagree. I sliced and diced my S3 for a year and loved every second on of it but as kick ass as my S3 was my S4 is much snappier...
Isn't the HTC One locked even worse then the ME7 update? Like no root etc?

I agree for the most part, while the phone is snappier than my S3, TW does feel "heavier" than it did on the S3. Additionally, I am extremely disappointed in the camera and I find it tough to get good pictures, to the extent that I don't use it as often as I did on the S3. I can't comment on the One, but prior to the update that locked it up tighter than the S4 I was considering trading for one. Now I guess I'll just stick with the S4 and try to find ways to improve camera performance.

You think you could extract a camera apk from a TouchWiz ROM, for example Hyperdrive cause there's more than one camera in the zip, and drop it in as either a system or user apk?

I have the note 3 now, and I'm really disapointed in it. I'm running 4.3 now and will be doing so until I get rid of it, which will be soon. Anyway, I'm going to get the gs4, and I'm a flashaholic, so my question is, if the gs4 I'm getting doesn't have the MDK baseband I'm basically screwed? I have to stick with safestrap for recovery? I change roms like changing socks. Having a locked bootloader on my note 3 sucks, big time. Anyway, thanks guys.

Its the same as every other Verizon S4 except its bootloader is unlocked. Truly unlocked and doesn't need Loki like the MDK ones do.

I love my S4. I actually got an MDK one off Swappa myself. I needed a custom recovery and ability to run AOSP ROMs.
And with more unified JFLTE builds coming out lately there are plenty of ROMs to flash. I like the Note 3 myself just it never came with a bootloader vulnerability like the S4 did.

Yea MK2 is still good, just if you're wanting to run any custom ROMs your going to be limited to Touchwiz ROMs only via SafeStrap recovery. Only the MDK build is able to run ROMs like CM . they're devs working on kexec support for SafeStrap so that custom kernel/ROMs can be ran.
The issue with all the builds after MDK is that the security was tightened up with each build. I'll get you a good link that explains a lot of these things...

So far I'm not happy, but at least I wont make the same mistake. So, is the MDK just an unlocked phone? What I'm try to get at is what do I look for when looking for a gs4? I got on swappa, good place to find a phone. Thanks for the help so far. I'm almost done here. Thanks for your time

MDK allowed for the Loki exploit which long story short... allows for your custom recovery and custom kernels/ROMs .
The bootloader isn't truly unlocked like on a Sprint or TMobile S4 but essentially Loki gets you the same end result .
Good luck! I'm sure you'll be able to find one on Swappa and they're cheaper now that the S5 is out.

I'm just asking this, not downing Cyanogen as I'm sure they have their hands full already, but is anyone else like me sitting around twiddling their thumbs and constantly checking when Cyanogen will release us a good blend of Vanilla goodness to replace this crappy Touchwiz (MOD EDIT) that Samsung always uses??

First of all, please tone it down. No need to use those references. (I'm going to edit out in a second.)
Second, I'm working with Tom Marshall from CyanogenMod who is doing the bringup.
We have boot since last week and as of about 10 mins ago working wifi. Calls and Data okay on Sprint but that's because we're both using that variant. I added the GSM ril blobs so theoretically it should work as well.
(And thank Tom for getting boot, I would have kept missing that I forgot 2 changes to a file that was holding that up. He caught my mistake in less than an hr last week.)
Now the bad news. It's still in bringup and has work to be done.
Rest assured it's being worked on.
Garwynn! Thank Jesus you're doing it, I remember you from the s4, used a lot of your earlier work on there. Anyways thanks for helping developing it, I can't wait!!

Glad we have a CM employee who can spend time on this at work honestly.
Noobnl did most of the bringup for the S4 and I'm glad to have gotten as far as I did.
But it always helps to have more eyes working on problems to hopefully resolve them! :highfive:
Few more issues ironed out today thanks to Tom mainly.
USB storage verified, GPS verified, a few errors have been ironed out.
The big known issues so far are camera (need some code changes to resolve missing symbols) and audio (phone mic doesn't seem to work, speakers out and BT mic/speakers working).
As far as devices we still need fingerprints for ATT, Canadian Bell and any others beyond Sprint, T-Mo, Verizon and kltexx (which is oddly SM-G900F according to what I got.) That should hopefully ensure that when it comes out it's ready for trying on other devices.

Well any work you do for us is always appreciated, I've honestly never seen such a quiet development section for a Samsung device as this ones is currently. Can't wait for wider adoption. As far as the base ROM you're working on with Tom, let me know if you need testers, I'd be happy to help, been playing with Samsung phones since the s3, I love em.

I would wait to update for now. If you update, you'll most definitely loose root and custom recovery. Wait until devs make a modified version of it.

Okay thanks cos all these camera app on custom rom sucks and are really slow. I always get blurry pictures.

Thanks! :good:
While this is good news, it should be taken with a grain of salt as "Unlocked" means no carrier affiliation. You have a while to wait before the US Carriers trade bloat filled test builds back and forth with Samsung. Then they still need to decide when THEY want to send out the OTA.
We did it! Thanks david!
this may be a bit of a noob question...
the leaked lollipop rom for international versions of the S4 that looks to be easy to root and flash from a quick glance that i had at that thread....
will that kernel help us make a easy to mod rom since its an official from samsung kernel... or does it have to be a SCH-I545 specific kernel?
thanks
Brian
The Verizon GS5 has started its Lollipop rollout today, earlier than any other carrier. Hopefully, they will do the same for us...
Would it be possible to flash the international version somehow?

Yes we will get the update soon. Watch for the OTA update on your phone.
I'd wait for the 2nd ota.... First one always has bugs.

From what I've read online it'll be mid 2015 for verizon S4's to get it... but take that with a grain of salt.
*sigh* How nice. Another step I wont be able to use on this locked down thing :crying:
Just installed Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10". It runs pretty smooth. Looking forward to having it on my GS4. One down, one to go.
