Some translation

IR Blaster: It has the Infa Red thingymabob so you can download a program that controls your TV, DVD etc. Unlike £1 remote controls and other cheap universal remotes this actually works.

customROM. It is alternate build of the operating system that is on the phone.

Manufactures like Samsung etc. They take the Android operating system and alter it to suit them. A really good example of a particular atrocity would be the Kindle fire HD. Its disgusting what amazon have done.

Bloatware
In this case with our S4. Samsung preload the rom with loads of apps that you probably will never use or never actually need and without rooting(a means to access system files which can break your phone if you dont know what you are doing) you cannot remove them. They call this Bloatware. The phone is around 16GB. After installation of their software/android. There is around 9GB or something. Which is horrendous. Around 7GB for Android? CarbonROM, the customROM I use is 155MB

So 1GB = 1024MB

Very bloated.
