There are many Android users that love to install custom ROMs onto
their devices that often provide new versions of the operating system
long before they are released officially if at all, but now there looks
set to be some Galaxy S4 CyanogenMod Custom ROM release disappointment.
Android fans that like to install a more vanilla like experience on
the Galaxy S4 from CyanogenMod may be out of luck as the team have
stated that they have no plans currently to support the handset. Samsung
hasn’t had a great relationship with developers recently, and nobody at
Team Hacksung is thinking of purchasing the Galaxy S4 when it is
released.
The reason has been put down to the fact there will be two versions
of the device and the problems that are already an issue with the Galaxy S3, namely the camera, are likely to be present on the Galaxy S4 as well.
This decision is only going to affect users that want to install
custom ROMs and there is a good chance that other ROMS will become
available that can be flashed onto the Samsung Galaxy S4,
but it has to be remembered that CyanogenMod is arguably one of the
most popular custom ROMs available to the Android platform, so many
potential owners of the handset will be left disappointed.
Whether this affects overall sales of the smartphone is extremely
doubtful though, as the majority of Samsung fans wouldn’t dream of
installing a custom ROM of any kind.
Are you disappointed by this news?
Update: CyanogenMod has stated it doesn’t pre-announce its lack of
support or support for hardware, and basically hasn’t made any decision
about the Galaxy S4 so far.
