Samsung Galaxy S4

[reactor_sa]

Is there a leaked lollipop Touchwiz ROM just yet or an expected release date for an official update?

Do you think the S4 will get it? Officially?

March I belive was the speculation on sammobile

I was wondering what roms people were using lately...

Touchwiz or AOSP or AOKP...

had a look at xda developers but nothing really stood out.

 

[Awesum]

Omega

I'm currently on Omega, purely because of the camera. Nothing beats the stock TouchWizz camera yet (slow motion, HDR, image quality etc...). It's the best stock based ROM out there IMO.

Was using Paranoid Android until recently then AICP prior to that. Both great ROMs, but waiting for Android 5.0 before I switch to something else again.

Awesome thanks. I have installed Omega for now

Cant they just roll out the official yet.

The guys on XDA seem very sceptical about that rom. And the widgets etc is in chinese....

Yeah, I'm holding out for now... but it just shows the official release is around the corner.

Also holding out... Brother is leaving town until March so by then it should be released

I'm very excited for all the S4 owners, as you basically get a brand new phone for free.

Was the same for me when my S2 got the Jelly Bean update, I was the happiest S2 owner in the whole wide world.

Great news! I'm just going to wait for release in India (INU) to keep the bloatware to a minimum.

I used the cwm restore. All seems good. Even battery life seems respectable, considering I am still running the kk modem.
