Not sure about stock but it works for me on my att s4 on a i9505 rom (have tried on omega, foxhound and wanamlite).
Got a tip for us?

So so many. Loads of extra toggles in the quick settings, customise the function of the hardware buttons, click on time in the notification bar to open the clock and the date to open calendar, customise the LED for each app (can be done with 3rd party apps too), slide your finger across the status bar to adjust the brightness, skip between music tracks by holding volume up or down buttons.
There's a lot more but I can't think of any because of how happy I am right now. One of the CM devs working on the S4 just said he found a fix for the no-sound in calls that you sometimes get in CM on the S4! The fix will be in the next nightly (23/7).

I'm very happy with CM 10.1 battery life. Currently running build 20130612, it's been very fast and stable. I just love the terrific community behind CM, that in concert with the fabulous folks at xda make modding an S4 so much fun.
QUESTION ?
How easy / hard is it to flash Google Edition Rom or CM onto an S4 ?
Someone wants to swap the cheap BB Z10 I picked up for a 'mist' (would have preferred white) S4 and i'm tempted but ONLY if I can get rid of Touchwiz completely. I just can't bare it........

Cool. Do you have a link or such, I assume its over on XDA
There are a few but this is the best for a daily driver IMO.
You want to go for a 4.2.2 ROM rather than a 4.3 one because 4.3 is a leak and has massive battery drain.

For actual GE Roms, I'd recommend the Slim versions - 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370737) or 4.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370360) They are fast and run the bare minimum...
Of course, all this assumes you're on or have access to Windows.
Great stuff appreciated, is parallels enough or will I need to do it for bootcamp?

I'm not sure if you will be able to install the Samsung USB drivers (downloaded here) and have them work correctly in a VM. You can try it but I'd recommend BootCamp.
If you'd like TWRP, just download the .tar here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltexx and replace the Download CWM step.
Awesome!
False alarm. He thought he fixed it but it didn't
Back to TouchWiz for me. Using Omega until they fix this damned call bug.
I just swapped my HTC One for a Galaxy S4 about 30 minutes ago. I rooted it, and am wanting to install a ROM.
Do you guys prefer CM10 or the Google Edition ROMs? An issues with either? Such as tethering/data settings didn't work on the GE ROM for the HTC One.
Thanks for any help
CM10 is better than the google edition roms. Everything works in cm as its built from source. The google edition rom is a hacky port.
Have till Thursday to decide but yeah I'm seriously tempted- simply if I decide not to keep it it will have better resell value than the Z10 anyway
But yeah it was Touchwiz that made me give up an S4 previously, I'd only keep it if I could dump Touchwiz forever....

I'd say keep the Z10. If you get the GS4, you'll basically have two identical devices that look different. Unless you really plan on selling the Z10 anytime soon, or just hate it, I'd keep it.
Yeah that's actually the main reason I said let me think about it....
Chances are I'd end up selling the Z10 in a few weeks time however anyway...
Lol I think you got it back wards buddy. GE on my s4 has no flaws. Everything works. CM loses audio while receiving calls every couple of mins or so. Plus I got two force closes immediately on cm while I have zero so far in 6 days of GE.
