Thats why you get a phone with a lot of users behind it. The S4 has the Google Edition coming out at the end of this month that has everything working with Vanilla Android and they already have ROMs out for it. The HTC One is going to have the same Google Edition. If you get some garbage phone, no one is going to waste their time modding it or building ROM’s. I do agree, Verizon is such trash and slow, but they destroyed Sprint in my service area, especially with LTE. In another 2 years when their new LTE is out I will probably try again. If you cant do Verizon, I would def. do S4 on ATT.
