I THINK you can just get the stock rom for ti, don’t quote me on that though.

Honestly I’d do it regardless, the stock android experiance now with 4.2 and even better with 4.3 is much better than any of the phones with their BS stock roms.

THe camera features are great but clunky from what I understand, not losing much that a 3rd part app couldent do IIRC
