SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 FAQs AND ADDITIONAL GUIDES
FAQs:
1. Ano ang difference ng iba't ibang versions ng Galaxy S4?
The following versions have the same hardware (camera, screen, build, etc) save for the processor and modem.
I9505 - Quad-Core (Snapdragon 600) with LTE (The only version that you can buy in Samsung stores here in the Philippines and in local telcos)
I9500 - Octa-Core (Exynos 5) with no LTE and official Samsung warranty (correct me if I'm wrong)
SHV-E300K/L/S - Octa-Core (Exynos 5) with LTE (Korean version)
SHV-E330K/S/L - Quad-Core (Sanpdragon 800) with LTE-A (Korean version, released in June 2013)

These versions, OTOH, are mostly complimentary versions designed to complement the S4 lineup.
S4 Google Edition - Same hardware as the I9505 but with TouchWiz replaced by stock Android software. You can have the same stock ROm by flashing a Google Edition rom.
S4 Active - Mostly the same hardware as the I9505 but with an 8 MP camera (downgraded from 13 MP) and an LCD panel instead of Super AMOLED. Waterproof and dustproof, though.
S4 Mini - 4.3 inch qHD display (960x540), 8 megapixel camera, 1.7 GHz Dual-Core, 8GB internal and 1.5Gb RAM, smaller battery (1900mAh instead of 2600 mAh)
S4 Zoom - Mostly the same hardware-wise as the S4 Mini but comes with a 16 megapixel camera sensor which protrudes at the back and a larger battery (2330 mAH)

2. Okay, got that. Gusto kong i-install 'tong app na 'to pero kailangan daw may root access. What is rooting anyway?

3. Alright, I'm fine with the disadvantages and I want to root my S4....how?
Note: I haven't rooted my S4, so I have first-hand knowledge if this guide works.
- There are ways on which you can root your S4. You can flash a pre-rooted custom ROM like this one or you can use Chainfire's (from xda-devs) method if you have an I9505 or this if you have an I9500.
(If may iba kayong method for rooting that worked for you and gusto niyong i-share sa other S4 Symbianizers - medyo ironic hahaha - please PM me the link or instructions para mailagay here. Thanks)
4. Okay, rooted na ang phone ko using (insert whatever method that worked for you here) pero gusto kong palitan ang official ROM....how?
Warning: Flashing a custom ROM voids your warranty, same as rooting.
- First things first, you need to be rooted to be able to flash a custom recovery na kailangan when you're flashing a new ROM.
Check this page for custom recoveries.
- Then check out threads ( for I9505 and for I9500) at XDA-Devs and choose what ROM to flash.
You can also ask S4 Symbianizers kung ano ang preferred ROM nila that has great battery life, stable, etc.
(Same as rooting, I'm still on stock ROm so I have no first-hand knowledge pagdating dito. You can PM me the link to your favorite ROM or 'yung ROM na dapat iwasan, etc para ma-include here for new users.)
5. What's next?
- Well, you have an awesome Android phone....Explore. Experiment. Customize to your heart's content

I will update this regularly. I will also be adding more tutorials basta may mai-post na bago and beneficial for S4 users. Pasensya na kung medyo maiksi, nasa work ako now eh.
If may corrections or may mas updated na version pa 'yung nakapost, please don't hesitate to point them out. Para sa S4 users ang thread na 'to so dapat, the best and latest method/app/rom lang ang nandito
Cheers!
