I just ordered the 16G version.
I will root it. Who else besides CM has a good printable wiki? I like to print it out and keep it handy for reference.
I told Google not to associate my account with it, and I will probably root first.
Can you get needed apps without using Play? How about Nexus tool kit?
I already have TB, Rom manager and whatever else recommended for the S.
I've got all my apps backed up through TB and they are sitting in a folder on the computer. Once rooted, with GAPPS can I just install on 4 using backup?
Can you block OTA updates? I'd prefer to know what is going on beforehand. I'm seeing complaints about the last 4.2.2 update removing LTE.
I don't need LTE, TMO doesn't have it so that's a non-issue - but who knows what will be changed next? I'd rather read about it first before I do anything.
My S is getting flaky from age or use. I bought it used. Lately pressure on the screen has made the phone unresponsive needing a battery pull. The last episode corrupted something - I had everything backed up and TB restore did the rest once I reloaded CM.
Just an FYI - I have iBird pro 3. It took over a half hour to update over a decent wifi connection. Someone posted that it took them over an hour on a B&N Nook at B&N!
Apps like iBird, Audubon, Mobile Observatory, Sky Safari, are why I have the phone.
Too damn handy to be without, plus you can text or call.
