SuperSU Updated To v1.60, Compatible With Samsung's Latest Galaxy S 4 Firmwares With KNOX

Cody Toombs

These days, it seems like everybody is trying to make Android more secure. As usual, rooting and modding are often casualties of this effort. Just over a month ago Android 4.3 broke the existing model for root, forcing updates to existing methods, and now Samsung is rolling out updated Android 4.2.2 firmwares for the Galaxy S 4 which fully enable the company's heavily secured KNOX environment. Fortunately, Chainfire is already on top of it and has updated his popular root software, SuperSU, to be compatible with the new system.

[New App] 'Note 2 Hidden Settings' Offers Access To Secret Options On Rooted Note IIs And Galaxy S 4s

Cameron Summerson

If you're running a stock, rooted Galaxy Note II or Galaxy S 4 and want easy access to some things that normally require manually editing system files, we've got the app for you. It's called Note 2 Hidden Settings, and does exactly what you'd expect: offers access to otherwise hidden system settings.

Aside from requiring root access, the app is simple enough to use – just install it and run with it.

Verizon Finally Publishes The Changelog For The Recent Galaxy S 4 VRUAME7 Update, Here Are The Details

Cameron Summerson

So you know about that big scary update for Verizon's Galaxy S 4 that blocks root, patches the bootloader, and haunts your children's dreams. The question is, though, what else does it do? Verizon finally spilled the beans (someone grab a mop and clean this mess up, please), and it's chock-full of stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.

PSA: Wirefly Is Now Selling The 32GB Verizon Galaxy S 4, And It's Only $220

Cameron Summerson

Just yesterday Verizon dropped the price of its Galaxy S 4 by $50, which in itself was a noteworthy deal since directly from Big Red was the only place you could find the 32 gigger. Until today, that is. Wirefly has now made itself the only other retailer to offer the 32GB S 4 running on Verizon, and of course, it's also more affordable at only $220 for both upgrades and new customers.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 Available Today On MetroPCS And C Spire Wireless

Cameron Summerson

While the Big Four have been able to tout the GS 4 for several months now, customers of most smaller carriers have been left wanting. Today marks the launch of the device for two such carriers: MetroPCS and C Spire Wireless.

[Deal Alert] Amazon Knocks AT&T's 32GB Galaxy S 4 Down To $210 With A Two-Year Agreement ($40 Off)

Cameron Summerson

With only 9GB of user-accessible storage, the 16GB variant of the GS4 simply won't do for many users. Sure, you can throw a microSD card in it for movies, music, pictures, etc., but that won't help in the slightest if you need more space for apps (for now, at least). The solution? Get the 32GB version. And if you're on AT&T, Amazon just knocked the price down by $40, making it comparable to the 16GB version's retail subsidized price.

[APK Teardown] Android 4.3's Wi-Fi Is Always On And Always Scanning, Unless You Find The Special Checkbox

Ron Amadeo

Wow. Out of the blue, an Android 4.3 rom hits the internet, and it's not built for the Nexus 4, or 7 or 10, but for the Samsung Galaxy S4. What a strange turn of events.

Of course, I couldn't stop myself from diving right in, and while I don't have a Galaxy S4 to show you screenshots, that's really not a big deal, because this leak pretty much looks identically to 4.2.

[Deal Alert] Amazon Wireless Drops Verizon's Galaxy S 4 To $119 For New Contracts

Cameron Summerson

A few days ago, Dell dropped the price of both Sprint's and Verizon's variants of the Galaxy S 4 to $119 and $129 respectively. Not to be outdone, Amazon Wireless has now undercut Big D by $10, and is offering Verizon's GS4 for $119 for new contracts ($170 for upgrades). That's a pretty solid deal if you don't want to buy from Dell, though I'd be remiss not to mention the $50 eGift card that Dell is throwing in if you do decide to buy through them.

Ryan Whitwam

Update: The deal is back, this time from a different seller buydig.

New top-of-the line smartphones naturally come down in price over time, but the Galaxy S4 has shown a remarkable tendency to go on sale early and often. This time it's on eBay for $575, which is $25 less than last time. Not bad for a device that usually sells for nearly $700 unlocked.

This is the unlocked 16GB version of the device, meaning no LTE.
