Download Galaxy S4 i9505 Google Edition Android 4.4 Firmware

Do you own a Samsung Galaxy S4 but hate Touch Wiz so much that want to get rid of it? Well, even if you install a custom home launcher, you still would not be able to totally get rid of atrocious touch wiz. The only way is to install a Google Edition firmware. On top of icing, it is using Android 4.4 base.

Download Galaxy S4 i9505 Google Edition Firmware

Download the S4 Google Edition ROM

Get it from here and put it into storage card. Then boot into recovery. Then, wipe the data and cache. Reboot the phone.

No bugs in the ROM

The best thing about this ROM is that there are no bugs at all, at least as claimed by its developer.

Where is IR blaster app?

The IR blaster app is not included so, download IR remote app from playstore. Here is the link. Also the S-view cover would not let you answer calls with the flap closed. This is actually Samsung’s fault as they have not included this functionality in Google edition Galaxy S4.

Other than that, everything is working out of the box, including TV out (MHL) functionality. Watch On, however, would not work.

Flappy Bird iPhone Game Review and Hacks

I learnt about the Flappy Bird few days ago, when I was looking through the Best Vines Facebook page. Since Vine informed me about it, I thought it must be something. Millions are downloading this game to their iPhone and iPads everyday. The game is also available for Android phones and tablets. I tested it on my Kiano Elegance 9.7” 3G and it ran just fine.

The performance of the game is top notch, irrespective of the platform you use. For instance, my Kiano Elegance 9.7” 3G has a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, 1 GB of RAM and quad core Rockchip RK3188 with clock frequency of 1.6GHz. You can find the review of the tablet here, in case you are curious about it.
