Should I get the iPhone 5 or Galaxy S4?
I am in the market for my first new ever phone that I will be buying myself. I was thinking about getting a plan with T-Mobile, since they seem to offer a lot for less than other carriers. My main problem is trying to decide on whether to get an iPhone 5 or Galaxy S4. I have a lot of experience with iPhones and such, but I really like all of the features of the Galaxy S4. I am going to be going to college in the fall and I want a phone that will be able to meet all of the needs that may arise for me in college concerning a mobile device. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I need advice on which phone would benefit me more and why. Any help would be great, thanks.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S4 should I still root it?
If you ask my perspective I will reply with a big Yes. The reason is apart from the features that rooting can bring to your phone, you can also benefit from installing a Custom ROM. In my S4 I have tried many ROM’s both Touchwiz based as well as AOSP based. Though ALL of the custom ROM’s provide a much better performance than stock ROM, but Touchwiz ROM’s run better on this very phone, whereas AOSP based ROM’s suffer from battery drain issues. I have an Exynos S4 with model number i9500. So please check your model number before attempting to do any flashing.Personally I like ATOM ROM the best which I am running at present. It gives good performance as well as battery life.[ROM][5.02] ATOM ROM v1.0 STOCK DEBLOATEDHappy flashing !!
How can I do to upgrade Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to the last Android version?
The Galaxy S4 Mini is quite a decent phone, even for today’s standards: a 8 mp camera (and 1.9 frontal camera) with the ability to capture 1080p video, at 30fps, 8 Gb of ROM and almost 2GB (actually, 1,5) of RAM, and a decent screen size.However, its official update program only allows the OS to be upgraded as far as Android Kitkat (4.4.2). Not exactly a major issue, given it is quite a lightweight and (still) capable OS version, but i understand the lack of certain commodities that newer versions of Android bring with them, compared to Kitkat.Your best option is indeed to flash a custom ROM image into your Galaxy, a scary and daunting process in the past, but a common technique nowadays for people who want to take the most out of old devices.For every custom ROM, there is a different Android version, and the choice of which version to go with is entirely up to you. I would suggest sticking with Android 5.0 or 5.1, as even though it can also be considered an “old” version of Android, among the newer versions, it benefits from having decent levels of compatibility with older smartphone models, while being less demanding in terms of resource usage. ROMS like AOSP, or LineageOS (former CyanogenModOS) can provide you with the breath of fresh air your phone needs.You can find some detailed and easy to use guides and tutorials on the XDA Developers forum down below, a personal favourite of mine for Android customization related issues and questions.Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Forum on XDA DevelopersHope i helped, and an upvote is always appreciated! :D
Why are Android users so hostile and narrow minded?
I like how you set this question up so you can claim that anyone with a dissenting opinion is "hostile and narrowminded" while you seem to feel the need to vehemently defend Apple's honor. Both Apple and Google are doing just fine, making a fortune. Everyone has their own preferences and needs for a phone. The "best" phone is not an absolute thing, it depends on what people want and need, what they're comfortable using, and what it costs. Android wouldn't be what it is without competition from iOS, and vice versa. Same goes for the handsets. Competition has to start somewhere. Appreciate that you have the option to choose, but don't disparage others for their choices.
