For this week’s Galaxy S4 ROM of the week, check out CM10.2 ROM, Android 4.3 CyanogenMod ROM. This ROM is available for AT&T, T-Mobile, Canadian, Verizon, US Cellular, GT-i9505, GT-9500.
In case you don’t know, CyanogenMod ROM is an AOSP ROM (What is AOSP?) that’s usually the beast of them all as custom ROMs like ParanoidAndroid and AOKP are built on top of CyanogenMod ROM.
Well, how are these builds? Although these builds are “beta” and considered full of bugs, I found them pretty solid out of the box, both Focal and stock AOSP camera working, especially for the AT&T, T-Mobile, Canadian, US Cellular, and GT-i9505 builds. The GT-i9500 build seem to be a bit buggy, randomly rebooting at times and I couldn’t get the camera working right.
Overall, you will get an Android 4.3 custom ROM with CyanogenMod features like DSP Manager and some customizations like your lockscreen shortcuts, button shortcuts, and some more. I would highly recommend it (even though it’s beta) to those of you with AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Canandian, US Cellular, or GT-i9505 Galaxy S4.
Of course, since this is an AOSP ROM you will lose all of your Samsung features so this ain’t for everyone but for those of you who must have the best of pure Android. However, you can always give it a try for couple days then restore your current ROM back easily by using CWM or TWRP recovery, my recommended method for noobs.
If this is something you are looking for, try it out this week(end) and do let me know what you think, thanks!
