IVIYTH0S Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 you will but its a good learning curve... I've had to make changes some things i really dont like... like the camera flash going off on every call or notification... had to turn that off asap That's why I use alternative launchers (Apex Launcher currently), all the benefits of new android versions...with none of the pain I want 4.3 on my s4, tmobile doesn't. ...not yet... 1 word.....Root! +1 oh hey, since yous guys got me started on it and since i happened to be home, i found the "manual upgrade" selection and got the s4 to start the download...holy crap...781 megs... ...do i need to back everything up,before i start the install or is it gonna save all my contacts and stuff ? Lucky you I remember my friend's stock ROM was 1.5GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 CJ, depends on the update, I know with my Nexus 4 OTA updates do not require backups but manual 'reformats' if you like, do. And listening to all this running Android 4.4.2. Life is sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you I remember my friend's stock ROM was 1.5GB Has Nothing to do with the Launcher.... that's part of the 4.3 update. I use nova Launcher any ways but even then the launcher was fine but it disabled all wallpapers until a reboot. my update was 580mb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
