The Samsung Galaxy S4 mightn't yet be gracing the smartphone arena, but that doesn't mean its presence cannot be felt. In fact, it's fair to say that, aside from the iPhone, the Galaxy S4 is easily the most anticipated device to be releasing in 2013, and thanks to a ROM dump being drip-fed by different sources, we're beginning to get a real good look at what's contained within the device's firmware.

If you regularly enjoy modding your Android smartphone or tablet by running custom ROMs and such, it stands to reason that your tendency to dabble would also stretch to your computer.
