I finally got around to rooting my phone!!! I loaded CyanogenMod ROM. Why?
- No more Samsung bloatware
- No more Samsung services running in background
- Access to the latest versions of Android (I’ll get KitKat once it’s stable)
- More efficient use of the CPU so faster performance and reduced battery usage
- Overclock/underclock control
- Silent camera (finally!!)
- Free wifi hotspot (saves me $20/month!)
- And more nifty little features due to complete control of the phone
Invisible unlock dots (cool, huh?)
Been thinking of tackling this project my own self. Last I checked CyanogenMod wasn’t yet out for GS4, but that was a while back. I ought to look again.
Looked last night… the Verizon variant is about the only GS4 they haven’t tackled yet. Yay, Big Red. Way to make your sh*t difficult. lol
