G+_ian johnston Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information on the internet about rooting and custom recoverys and roms and etc. essentially, i have a canadian s4 and i'd like to install stock android or the "google edition" on, and receive updates at the same rate as those phones. is this viable? can someone point me to an up to date guide?

G+_ian johnston Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 thanks? i guess you're telling me that the updating part isn't going to be possible? i'm sorry, i'm just new at this, and there is sooo much info out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel Charles Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have very little experience, I've only rooted one phone, but I don't think you'll be able to install a rom that get's the updates from google, you'll have to do that manually every time. XDA developers is probably your best resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
