Such software might not arrive on AT&T's flavor of the device

Wireless carrier T-Mobile made the Samsung Galaxy S 4 smartphone available for purchase on its website on Monday, and the phone has already received an unofficial CyanogenMod build, it seems.

The info on the port comes from Steve Kondik himself, the founder of the CyanogenMod team, and is accompanied by a screenshot meant to prove that the custom ROM has already been loaded on the smartphone.

The news should sound very encouraging for T-Mobile users interested in the purchase of this Android-based device, especially if they were also interested in tweaking it.

AT&T users won’t be as lucky, given that the smartphone arrives on their carrier’s network with a locked bootloader.

Although the screenshot in Kondik’s post shows that the build did not feature radio support, a subsequent comment from the author unveiled that the feature has already been added to the ROM.
