Im considering getting cyanogenMod on my s4 but im wondering what it really does? does it increase battery life, increase performance or anything that really benefits the device or does it just add more options?? So should i get it and why is it good?

I'd recommend it, the S4 is really easy to root, install CWM and then put CyanogenMod on it. I've been running it since day 2 of having my S4.

first

which S4 version do u have

if u have an octacore version then do not install CM its in alpha

but if u have snapdragon 600 go for it

 

or even BETTER

install the google edition version which is BUG FREE !!!!

ive dealt with these "stable" releases before

feels like a nightly to me

would rather go with 4.3 google edition vs 4.2 CM10.1 anyways  since it has TRIM support

Once you've installed a custom rom such as CyanogenMod you can easily install other roms

I got it on my S3 LTE... instant boosted performance, plus I can switch to 2G only which works better in my area... WIN WIN!!! I actually haven't found any glitches yet (touch wood)...

Intel Core I5-3570K @ 4.4GHz, AMD Radeon HD6950, Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe motherboard, 8GB DDR3 Corsair RAM, Corsair H100, 60GB Agility3 OS drive + 1TB WD Blue drive. 

I use this rig mainly for facebook and emails. Pointless effort to be honest!
