What's good about MotoG is, the battery life. If youre a normal user with moderate SocialApps/Call/Messaging, then MotoG can last you for more than a days actually.

Its just that its not that good in terms of camera and graphic performance, but to me it is good enuf already rite, what do you expect from an exceptional phone with exceptional price tag rite?

cool.gif

in the cyanogenmod website only i9500 is listed...

AFAIK, CM only support i9500 OFFICIALLY for now..

But,

Who the f- cares about CM when you have tons of other custom roms ? (Only applicable if you're using i9505)
You will have GPE, CM, AOSP, AOKP, PAC and etcetera.

So true indeed.

But until now I cant find my reason to love CM/AOKP/AOSP based

Same goes to me. I just love my stock i9500 lol. Except the drop-down status bar's menu. I prefer stock's android for its cleaner ui.

Cant really say. Sometimes its just that your luck, getting a faulty unit, caused by manufacturing defects. We just cant really say that brand is just the best in all aspects.

At once, i adore the quality from HTC, but then again i already sent my sister HTC One(M7) for warranty 2 times already. For purple tint/sudden reboot/burnt mobo. My Samsung S2 last 4 years happens the same, spoiled mobo just because i take photos with flash.

Im not really sure if you get my point but this is reality nowadays. Quality will never be assured 100% even it is the top notch brand or specs.

Yep, just trying to avoid Samsung S series the faulty mobo issue is still around

Any article is telling this? Can you share?

Im facing it. Even the girl at SC doesnt give me any warranty/promise that my replaced mobo will not be faulty again.

There are some people in xda that are facing this issue too. Even our senior mudkipryan94 faced this issue according to him.

Well it might be isolated cases but, is it just me or S series always have mobo issues compared to Note series ? hmm.gif

i9505 is normal s4 rom, i9506 is google edition s4.

Wrong.

I9500 - SGS4 3G (16GB with Exynos 5410)
I9505 - SGS4 LTE (32GB with Snapdragon S600)
I9505G - SGS4 LTE GPE (16GB with Snapdragon S600)
I9506 - SGS4 LTE-A (16GB with Snapdragon S800)

I9505 is no longer available in our country, only AP set is avaible now.

As for I9505G and I9506, they never reached our shore, hence we only have AP sets available here.

Maybe its becoz of various ROMS installations that somewhat wear it down or trigger something not expected. Increased risk of failure. Keeping to stock, I've been using S2 for years without failure. So far almost 1 year, my S4 still working fine. So is my brother in laws S4, Note, Note 3, etc. They don't really play around with ROMS.

I've only flashed 3 roms so far. AFAIK, flashing does not make your mobo becomes failure. Worse you can get either hardbrick or lose imei.

Hi guys.

Just checking if installing custom ROMs on the S4 will degrade the camera quality?

I can't seem to get the same quality of photos when i'm using a touchwhiz based rom and an AOSP based rom.

Somehow the touchwhiz based with stock samsung camera app always produces better quality photos than the AOSP. Is there a way around this?
*
AFAIK, stock rom will always produce better image due to its better image processing algorithm. Stock camera can also be one of its main factor too.

It can be clearly seen when you install Google Camera on a stock Touchwiz rom. Compare the images captured from both stock camera and Google Camera. Stock camera beats Google Camera every single time.
