Hi, what I would do is Odin Shabby's or AGAT's custom recovery found in the Android and Original Development sub-forums. Both are confirmed to work with creating and restoring backups. I've personally used Shabby's customer recovery twice to restore backups after testing CM10.1.

Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.

Alright cool thanks!, I had the gs2 before this phone so I knew it was somewhat the same but I wanted to double check before killing my phone lol

Go to the Android Development forum and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread, and it provides excellent instructions on installing the recovery.

SLIMBEAN is working great BTW. I have been rocking it since it came out. I was so pumped because I got my S4 the day it came out and before that I was using Slimbean on my S3 so I'm glad the first AOSP rom up and running well enough for a daily driver was Slimbean!

Look out for Garywn's CM, AOKP, and PA roms, those she be up and running soon enough! Actually CM is in beta as well now!

Do it! Takes like two seconds

Yeah AOSP has none of the exclusive TW features, including but not limited to things like smart stay, air gestures, etc.

The camera has the standard AOSP features, still looks just as good, just missing some of the TW stuff!

SLIMBEAN looks so much better visually though then touch wiz haha, worth it.
