Pay using PayPal. MYR 35++ depends on Currency Exhange. Free delivery using Registered Post. It took 7 days of delivery. Very nice and almost identical to this one.
Yeah read in the internet and they also recommend buying from rbc because of its quality and affordability. Heck, they even got a bunch of selection from different types of phone as well. Planning to change my black Nexus 5 back to white as well.

Hi, may i know what custon ROM u guys using now? Plan to flash Nightly Cynogenmod 11 into my S4 GT-i9500, is this ROM ok?? Or do you have any other better recommendation? Now using rooted stock ROM, adi installed CMW 6.0.4.8 and done the Nadroid backup.
I'd recommend using OzcanRom if you're OK with touchwiz. It is based on the latest Russian firmware. Pretty good IMO. Because the camera app is so much functional and better than the AOSP's. Flashing AOSP means u lost more than half the functionalities of what the S4 is capable of.

If you go through the video closely, all the system apps that guy opened during that review have that Dynamic Status Bar/Tinted status bar design, except the Dialer app? What the heck was that. I think they forgot to update the dialer app with that features
Btw quite nice and neat interface.
Its still an early WIP. Even the wifi is not working. Still a positive to me.
The rom is rock stable. I can honestly say it's Lollipop-level of smoothness . And warning though: this is a whole new look for existing 4.4.2 users. It's whiter, brighter, and overall a nicer looking touchwiz (though I'd still prefer Vanilla Lollipop anyday). And yeah, battery life is also quite impressive. Overall, anice update from Samsung. Good to see they're still providing updates for the S4.

Plot twist, tomorrow news: "Unfortunately Samsung decides they are not going to update its Snapdragon-variant S4 (i9505) due to driver issue from Qualcomm."

Hi guys, usually when you're going to format/change another roms for your s4, how did you backup your whatsapp chat/pictures/videos ? (Not to mention the newer version of whatsapp that can upload to GD)
Because usually what I do is connect s4 to PC and copy the entire Whatsapp file to PC, once I done format, copy it back to s4 and install back Whatsapp and restore. But I notice that some pictures might be gone or replace by other pictures twice or above.. but the chat history is ok Any solution to fix? or this is normal situation?

i have I9505 just receive an upgrade to Lpop 5.0. A bit dissapointed as i was hoping for the power saving feature as in 5.1. I read somewhere that we can upgrade to 5.1 using cyanogenmod. has anyone done this ? I try using odin. but having trouble flashing TWRP. I flash using odin and it says PASS. but then reboot it is still standard recovery rom. any one has an idea ? i already enable the debugging USB feature.
FYI u can flash Ultra Power Saving Mode mod on the stock rooted S4.

Thailand's firmware works the best for me (I9500); super minimal bloatware. Have tried Chinese, Russian & Indian rom, all were too bloaty to my liking with unnecessary apps.

Thailand Officials less bloatware?
Yup. There's a few essential Samsung apps and Google apps, that's it.. A few of em are quite useful. And of course you can disable any of them (not uninstall).
