Yep that was easy.
Just downloaded CF-Auto-Root from the link in that thread. You have to boot into download mode (they don't tell you that) Which you do when the device is switched off
Keep the vol down button and the home button pressed whilst switching back on.
Then wait for the pc to recognize the phone and away you go.
Now which stock rom to install
O ordered one yesterday as well. Mine is the Satin Silver. Should hopefully receive it tomorrow.
I have the original Samsung flip case but not really getting on with it. The Spigen is a little pricey but reviews seem good and it looks nice.
Yeah that why I went for it reviews + how it looks. Its' well smart
Not sure as they do have a separate I9500 section.
Looks plasticy bro.
I always wondered what the World would be like without the haters
Enjoy your massive menu button and clear notification light

have you tried wiping the cache and data for the clock app? that might do it... (in settings, applications, all, clock...)
I'm sure this is just made up for views, but sounds great if its true:

Interesting. Possibility to port over stock Android to our S4s
Shouldn't be too hard but that depends how much closed source stuff is in the S4.
Indeed impressive - now clear why there were stock shortages. Not surprising eh.
Yeah tried that. I thought it was a placebo effect at first as it worked fine for 2 days. Then I read that some people were having issues. That night it stopped working. "Unfortunately, Clock has stopped" whenever I try to add an alarm.
I get a similar issue when trying to change the default notification
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"
I'm hoping a firmware update will sort it out. or if I can grow a pair and install a new rom myself
Looks plasticy bro.
Yeah but Kona's Fanta is premium it comes in an ALUMINIUM can!!!!
Plus did you note the premiumness of his real wood table.
I'm sick of my old shabby denim Levi jeans have any firms brought any premium aluminium trousers to market to go with my aluminium trainers, my mate was right the sole is a bit stiff worth it though for all the looks I get, I'm a bit surprised at how easily the small stones on the pavement mark and dent the aluminium

As much as I like stock android - I want to keeps some Samsung stuff to like brightness slider in notification bar, great task manager, browser with magnifier etc.
Just need to wait for system wide holo theme's like JB Domination, bit like the best of both worlds.

I find all this VERY hard to believe and your sources certainly don't have any concrete reliability to the point where you can say it's happening.
The first one is a guy on youtube talking about what he's read on the second link and the other 2 reference that link too.
This is a million miles away from the core strategy for both Google and Samsung.
If I had to put money on it I'd say this was BS. Not long to wait now though!

Ok about the distortion with regards to music.
I use PowerAmp with Denon ACH260 in ears.
I have found there is distortion with the lows and bass. The overall sound quality is a big improvement over my old Nexus S but the S4 is distorting on the bass and low.
I played about with the EQ settings and got the mid and high spot on, super clear as was the lows. I had to turn the phones volume down and up the pre amp on the app to get a good balance of volume and minimal distortion and this is with the bass turned right down on the app.
The distortion was more noticeable on tracks from Lana Del Ray, Lindsey Stirling and Spectrum by Florence. Laura Marling and London Grammar were spot on where the bass is a lot softer. Mudvayne was all good but then they have enough distortion in their music to hide the phones distortion.
I did try the stock headphones but after 30 seconds I promptly ripped them out they were that poor lol.
I do hope there is an update to sort this as it is going to get annoying.....
