By on Thursday, June 13, 2013

It was announced a few hours ago, and finally is available to download: Finally the CyanogenMod for 10.1 Samsung Galaxy S4.

The most famous custom firmware in the world, after a long wait, comes in an official way on the Samsung Galaxy S4. The first release is still not Stable, but it is a "Nightly" version, which works very well and has no problems of any kind.

If you want to turn your Samsung Galaxy S4 in a Terminal "Pure Google" or "Google Experience", here is the custom firmware for you!

Installing the firmware CyanogenMod 10.1 for Galaxy S4, in fact, will lift all customizations and software of Samsung and we'll have a smartphone "like Google did," except for some slight customization implemented firmware CyanogenMod developers 10.1, which however does not change in any way the "Pure Google" experience of this firmware.

As we said then, finally the custom firmware CyanogenMod 10.1 is also available for Galaxy S4. For the uninitiated, this is a very famous ROM available for many phones that came now for the top Korean range and which is able to bring Android Stock on any Android device.

Obviously this firmware is based on Android 4.2.2, i.e. the latest version available, pending the release of Android 4.3, which will take place anyway. As for any other custom firmware, installing via Recovery changed and of course the warranty is no longer valid as soon as you change your smartphone.

CAUTION: WHEN MANY USERS ON XDA TRIED TO INSTALL,THEY FACED SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTALLATION. I RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO INSTALL IT AT THE MOMENT AND WAIT FOR NEW UPDATES!
