Thats what I traded from a iphone 5. Missed android so went with the active expecting a good development but not the case. Have the feelin it will come, just expected it to be the same as s4 since specs are same inside...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] robstunner:
Yea, I suppose its not the same but in the same regard im ok with it. You get stock based ROMs and AOSP based ROMs, sprinkled with a little bit of mods and tweaks. Im very greatful for the commuinity, but for once (and thanks to geohot) im perfectly content with just having a stock, rooted experience backed up with OTA Rootkeeper.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] 903tex:
Dont get me wrong I love the phone and the stock experience isnt killing me to much. Im running stock without root until I see the need to root. So far I feel like a I have a big screen iphone that I can "drop" in some water.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] robstunner:
The only reason I root is goord adaway really anymore. We pay good money for our data plans I don't need a percentage of that going to advertisements.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
In case no body had tried this TW hack out yet, it does work on our Active. I tested and it worked. You have to set wallpapers from settings then go to display. If you long press on your homescreen to set wallpapers you will get a force close.

As I had posted last week, I don't have the SecMMS and SecPhone as I lost my backups messing around and was asking for them as well.

I have the yahoo apk's but I'm pretty sure there not the mf2 ones and when I restore them they don't create odex.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
Thanks bud. To be honest I didn't need those files anymore but your help is very appreciated. Could you do me one last favor? At least I'm pretty sure it'll be the last.. I need the modems from MF2.

Open up Android Terminal Emulator, type the following EXACTLY. Be extremely extremely extremely careful to not mix up the order of "if" and "of." Preferably copy and paste the bottom two commands verbatim.

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin bs=4096

On your sdcard there will be a modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. Please post those two here :)

Edit: Here's your secphone and secmms, sorry I must not have seen that post. These are from MF3 -- should work. Make a backup of your current ones though. Pretty sure the phone will odex them on its own

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
Wouldn't say there's zero chance. Was just able to flash those MF2 modems that bubba uploaded to my MF1 device :) that's definitely a good start. Unfortunately I lost WiFi probably because of a kernel incompatibility, but cellular data still works good.

Edit: nevermind this part
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
I copied my original seclauncher apk and odex file to my sdcard into a folder with all of my mods. I moved the modded seclauncher apk to my system/app and fixed permissions, then deleted the odex file and rebooted. It worked for me and I did not loose any widgets. I used root explorer also. You may of have a corrupted download or missed a step in the process. I know you said you followed it to a T but something might of been missed.

People need not to forget to go to this link and request a forum of our own. We have a lot of requests so far so I don't see what the problem is with us getting our own forum. Maybe it's time to start looking for a different web site all together that we can all move to that will allow us our own forum. What we have now is too cluttered and it will get worse.

Really [MENTION=3125148]kennyglass123[/MENTION] ?

It is just a mess and we want to be more organized, 12 people posting about 12 different things is not organized. Does it cost you guys money to create a sub forum? It seems like it is a hard and painful process. I am sure that the regular S4 users will be happy for us to be out of their lives

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] KennyG123:
All questions about moderator actions should be in PM. You are not helping your case by creating drama in the forums.

As to your question count how many Active threads already exist on the first 2 pages. Now compare that to how many units have been sold vs. Non-active devices. This General forum is for all AT&T S4s. There is a thread to request new device forums. I advise you to use it. Since it can use the same ROMs it is doubtful you will get the forum. This is a development forum not a support forum. If people are not supporting development here in this thread then adding more threads will not aid this cause. If you would like to close this thread and make another with strict rules for no non-development posts I will be happy to oblige.

Thank you for your understanding

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I don't mean to create drama, we just are getting frustrated with the cold shoulder on xda. Sorry that it came out like that and if this is all you will give us I will be fine with that. Thank you for the information.

btw we do have separate root methods and the Roms will have to be modified because the drivers are different. Even some mods have to be changed for our version.

I will keep quite about this from now on ;) that forum to request didn't help.

Big thanks to Josh for laying out all the reasons in one PM why the Active is not fully compatible with ROMs and root methods.

Nandroid

Hi,

Hopefully not too silly of a question - since AT&T S4 Active's bootloader is still locked, we can't make a nandroid back up using clockworkmod recovery, right? Or is there a way to make a nandroid back up? Either way, I may try this mod without making a back up since it sounds relatively safe (just renaming the original .apk to make a "back up" of that). Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
You can make an online Nandroid backup, but it's useless because you can't use it for anything. I would highly recommend using Titanium Backup to backup your apps and settings in case you brick the phone and have to flash MF1.

I rooted my i537 running MF3 over a month ago and added App Quarantine to disable some of the bloatware on the device. Everything worked well until my phone was stolen last weekend. I bought another i537 two days ago and this one is also running MF3. After rooting (via activeroot), installing SuperSU, installing ROM toolbox, disabling the update files, installing App Quarantine, and trying to disable bloatware, I was prompted with a message saying that I now needed USB debugging turned on first. I found the developer menu and was able to get App Quarantine to work, but I don't recall having to do this the first time. Can anyone else remember having to do this? Not that it makes a huge difference, as I would have needed USB debugging turned on anyway at some point, but I was curious if anyone else remembers not having to enable that option in order to quarantine system apps?
