I recently wrote about some of the more popular ROM’s for the T-Mobile and MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-M919 phone. That post included mention of Resurrection Remix.
I just wanted to say again that this ROM is really amazing. Today another update was released. This is a very fresh ROM that is frequently updated. This ROM makes the phone run faster. Benchmark scores are higher. I notice a marked improvement in the performance when playing my favorite game: WB Tempest.
If you are fortunate enough to have this phone or any other for which there is a Resurrection Remix build, I highly recommend trying it out.
In order to install this ROM you have to first root the phone and install TWRP. Links with information on how to do this are in this previous post.
Once you’ve installed TWRP and the phone is rooted you should install the TWRP Manager app from the Android Play store which will make it much easier to reboot your phone into recovery mode whenever you want to install/upgrade ROMs. When TWRP Manager is launched there is a reboot option in the menu and then another option to reboot into recovery.
These custom ROMs are what having any information appliance should really be about. They should run operating systems designed by amazing people in collaborative, international projects which people do because of their dedication to cool, open software.
That said, I don’t want to make it seem like Resurrection Remix is the only ROM worth trying. There are a lot of amazing ROMs being put out by a lot of dedicated people, and I recommend trying out as many as you can.
If only the desktop computer operating system environment was the same as Android. That would be the healthiest thing. That actually is what Linux is about however unfortunately Linux never took off on the app side of things. Its 2015 and I think its way overdue that regulatory authorities step in and force a breakup/decoupling of MS Office from Windows/Microsoft, and that other major software and hardware vendors get away from the Microsoft addiction and start supporting Linux as their primary OS.
