Rooted S4 So Now What?
I know about ROMS but I'm not sure which one to put. Any ideas which ROM to flash and what I should do now that I've rooted it? My phone's an S4.

I'll check it out. Thanks
I wish there was a ds emu on a device. I threw away my hourglass lite a few years ago. Now I can't use my dstt
@ShadoLegend: Well, I'm fairly sure that Sprint is a CDMA-exclusive service provider, but I could be wrong. If they are, then you probably can't. A CDMA rom on a GSM-compatible device will prevent you from being able to utilize the service since Sprint does not use SIM cards, but I'm not 100% sure though.
@MizuiChan I already have CWM (if you mean the recovery screen). I went on XDA but they put different versions of the S4 and have different ROMS for each. Can I use ROMS that are made for the Sprint S4 on the GSM?
you're gonna mess up your phone lmao

Did my little comment actually make you that mad
Well, first you wanna make sure you have a Recovery rom installed. It's usually part of the rooting process, but if you don't already have one, I'd recommend ClockWorkMod. Afterwards, you want to back up the stock rom by booting into recovery and backing it up onto a mounted SD card.
If you're looking for a library of custom roms that are compatible for your GS4, you can look around the XDA developer's site, or you can install an app called GooManager, which will sort out all categorized roms compatible with your phone. Hope any of this makes sense, and welcome to the dark side of Android
Saw 2 comments and got my hopes up >.< So far all trolls
Is that like a root canal? I really don't like root canals
