Thanks Hobbs! Are you still using that ROM?

Not a fan of leather gloves hey, when travelling now in winter I usually have my car's heater and it's heated seats on so I'm always warm plus I'd never live down using leather gloves, I already give one of mates a hard time when I see him wearing them but I will try using my GS4 with his ones on just to see how it goes.

At the moment I am back on my Polish stock 4.1.2. I rotate between stock, BobCatROM (A heavily themed 4.1.2 Samsung based rom with tons of extra features and MultiUI-phone, phablet and tablet mode.) and MiniTab, the port of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Theres never a dull moment owning an Android phone.Always something new and interesting to try.

One thing I cant get my head round about when people are continually trying out new custom software, how do you go about installing apps ? surely it gets annoying constantly reinstalling apps and restoring settings.
I don't know about you guys, but once ive had my phone for a while it takes hours or days to get all my apps installed again and the phone setup how I like it.

Etaab that's one reason why I like my iphone
Backup to the cloud restore, all ur apps are there and other content
Is there 
One thing that's abit annoying with iCloud however is you
Only get 5GB storage and u have to pay extra for more really
Does suck, apple need to give us 10gb free maximum 
Android need to come up with similar thing I think
It would make life easier for some of you
Tsepz please borrow those gloves and test it
None of us will laugh at u wearing them in the meantime

Its simple.You backup a rom in something called Clockwork Mod Recovery and when you want to go back to it you simply restore.Your phone returns to the exact state is was when you were last on that rom.Takes less than 5 minutes.Withing five minutes I can be running any three of those roms in the the state I last left them.
So thats what im doing.Ive got a backup of three different roms all fully setup and just switching between them.

If you root, then it's very easy, Titanium backup can restore all your apps including settings in matter of minutes...
and if you're just reverting to the exact same software you're using then a recovery backup is faster...
When I want to test new mod. or ROM I just backup.. test the new ROM or the mod. and if something went wrong or I didn't like it.. just restore the backup.. every thing is back in 3 - 4 minutes !!
but if you're referring to switching between ROM's or installing a new stock ROM from scratch, then Titanium backup can handle all the apps things as far as you're rooted...

It's already coming to Android with Google cloud it's now possible to use the cloud to backup apps data, however; it's just new and apps developers will need to implement it in their apps first... and they're giving you a shared 15GB of storage also
but as what Hobbs already mentioned... If you're rooted then you can have multiple ways of doing a backup from single apps backup like using Titanium Backup... or to backing up the whole ROM using a recovery backup... you can any time do a recovery backup, install and test any ROM that is available on the net ( or a ROM you created ), and when you finish with testing... restore your backup and every thing will be back exactly like before.. like you didn't actually changed any thing... the only thing that will change is time and maybe signal strength

According to this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ac both GS4 and Htc One rock a WiFi modem that supports AC, the BCM4335.

Interesting article on the Exynos chipset. Seems it is problematic re battery life:
