OK so I recently got my hands on an S4 (GT-I9505). This is an upgrade from my previous phone that was stolen; I had an S3 with CM11 installed. So as I have enjoyed CM11 previously I would like to use it on my new S4. I have a few questions:

• Is the default boot-loader locked?


• If I root and install a custom boot-loader, would I be able to replace it later if I wanted to?


• Broad question, but what security features does Cyanogenmod come with?


• Is there a stock CM phone location service built in to the OS, i.e. like a tracker?


• Can I encrypt the device storage with CM11 without installing apps to do this?


• Can I encrypt the removable storage without installing apps to do this?


• How do I restrict USB mounting of the media folders on the phone/removable media to a specific machine?


• Can I restrict access to the ADB via USB to a specific machine only?


• The stock recovery menu states CTC code applied "BTU" (I'm in the UK). Does the bootloader apply this setting so the phone knows which region to operate in and if so does the CWM boot-loader also apply this code too (I don't want to run into problems after where the phone won't associate to a network due to some issue with CTC, or maybe I've misunderstood this concept...) ?

I know, dumb questions eh.
