Current state of custom ROMs on S4 Active?

Hello,

I have an AT&T S4 Active, SGH-I537. I have been able to root it, but haven't gone on to put on a custom ROM because the last I heard, the jackwagons at AT&T locked the phone down. But it looks like it is possible to do this now, but I am not sure because the forum posts are not clear. Is this possible?

If so, I am looking for something very fast, light and clean and for all the hardware to work. Is this available?

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You have to use SafeStrap. There are limitations to the types of ROMs you can use, so make sure you read before you do anything.

A little lost

Hi Everyone, haven't been active for a long time, but I've just got an S4 Active SGH-I537 running 4.4.2. I know I need to root but i'm not easily finding the necessary material or guides, found an odin thread here but he redirects away to the S4 active section and I can't find anything from there.

I also want to flash, I realise that the recovery is locked down but I see some safe strap info that says I can at least flash a version of Samsung/at&t's rom running TouchWiz.

Any info or pointers would be very helpful, thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
To root the most recent firmware (NH3), you need to follow the directions at this site. Make sure you download the files for the i537, not any other phone. In summary from stock NH3, you use Odin to flash the previous (NE3) kernel, use towelroot to gain root, and then use Odin to flash the most current kernel again. Read the website, the instructions will guide you.

Download SafeStrap here. The installer is just a normal .apk file, you install it like a normal app, open the app and follow the prompts.

This is how you deodex the stock rom once you're rooted and have safestrap installed, if you're interested.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dragonettii:
Thanks a mil for the pointers, always loved the xda community, first link which I assume is the most critical is broken however. If you have any other link to the info and guide would much appreciate. I'll try to see if I can follow what's happening there from any other angles.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dragonettii:
Got the links working around my company's firewall, however when odin tries to flash the I537_ROOT_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5 file it fails. Kicks back and error that says

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

it also seems to have installed SuperSU in the process, I assumed it's supposed to do that, which means it did try something and actually failed. Anyone who has experience with this particular error please give me whatever advice you can.

Question.

am currently running FW 4.4.2 (XSI) United Arab Emerates on GT-I9295

i was wondering if i can upgrade it to 5.0.1 United Kingdom FW?

reason being is, phone currently has issue with the "phone.apk" when making call, there's no sound, restart a few time it would work for a little bit, (skype/viber is working). and when receiving call, i could not hear anything, the other end will hear static.

sometime works sometime don't, it was working even after i updated my FW to 4.4.2, then 3-4month down the track it start to play up, even try uninstall other calling app, i tried restore FW to factory default. wipe the unit's cache. work for a little bit, and now some widgets not working properly, often get error for "has stopped" unless i disable those widget.

was hoping its a FW issue with the device, and 5.0.1 will fix the issues.

anyone else experience symptoms like above? share your experience.

thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
No, there is no way to upgrade the i537 to marshmallow. STOP POSTING THE SAME QUESTION TO 10 DIFFERENT THREADS. You have no idea how irritating that is. If you had bothered using the search function, you might've come across this useful post (I found it in 10 seconds): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64615107&postcount=573

Edit: REALLY??!! You're posting this question to Galaxy S5 threads now, how could you possibly think that would get the answer you're looking for??

And you posted this dumb cookie cutter post to a Galaxy S3 forum thread, dude take the time to learn how to use this forum correctly, this is juvenile behavior.

To elaborate, the i537 cannot be upgraded to marshmallow because there has been no official marshmallow release for this specific phone (and almost certainly never will be). This means a custom rom with a custom kernel would be required to run marshmallow, but the bootloader is locked down on this phone and unlockable. A locked bootloader means you simply cannot install a custom kernel on this phone, it will not boot if you try. Only custom roms that can run on the stock kernel can work on this phone; marshmallow will not run on the stock 5.0.1 (lollipop) kernel, therefore this phone cannot run marshmallow. This is why locked bootloaders suck

Hi. Just a bit confused about my CSC. Currently my phone is on AP: I9505XXUEMKF with CSC: I9505BTUEMK5. As far as I was aware, this is an unbranded CSC for the UK and Ireland? (I am in Ireland). Now my phone was locked to a network but I got it unlocked and the CSC is now this. According to Sammobile, the latest firmware for BTU is I9505XXUENAA but when I connect my phone to kies, it says i have the latest update? Am I missing something big here?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. The CSC appears close to ur firmware in Kies 3. Like in the 1st pic the CSC is XEU.

2. I9505XXUENAA no is an official update recognized by Kies how u can see in the 2nd pic. Kies 3 recognize that u have the latest update installed. If you want update ur phone by Kies you will have to wait new official update or u will have to use ODIN for install I9505XXUENAA otherways (SamMobile).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Yes normally.

- Branded phones have to have custom firmware (coz they install their own apps/mods/rebuilts)

- Unbranded handsets can apply new firmware as soon as Samsung releases it (without changes).

Hi xda users !

I wanna show you my problem...

On stock 4.3 (.266) my wifi works perfectly with root, cwm etc....

But my problem is starting when i flash other rom based on a .266 like (existenz, purestock, advance xperia )

I just cant connect my phone to my wireless network, it's still at obtaining ip, and never connect, just again again and again....

Some1 have the same problem or know how to fix that ? I use DHCP and it works perfect on 4.1 or 4.3 (stock) but of any other its like a boot loop at obtaining ip

If some1 know what is going on with this help me

Ok, so I am not to sure exactley what I did. I accidental hit unroot in CWM. I have a recent titanium backup, but i suppose that will do me no good. I lost superuser permission to operate Titanium anyway. Also CMW as the app is useless to me now. I can boot into it using the volume down, home power option, but i can not get to anything there to restore it.

Do i need to re-root, or what direction should I be going in? All I am looking for is someone to point me in the proper direction, I feel horrible asking this here, as I normally know what I am doing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
You have options, OTA to 4.3 (just advance time/date 24 hours or whatever time it says to check again) You will have a locked bootloader and Knox *****ing at you if you install root.

Or you can flash this through ODIN or CWM, You get root and 4.3

I think I will flash that threw oden later. I was mostly freaking out because my phone was stuck between rooted, and not rooted. All sorts of apps where tweeking out on me. 4.3 is nice, but way to much junk installed by ATT.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pmdied:
I thought I'd post this after trying numerous Roms and finding that battery life was getting worse. I went to Batteries+ (a chain that sells all sorts of batteries) and replaced my battery a few days ago. I can honestly say that my battery life on ANY ROM is now 14-20+ hours.

With our s3's approaching the 2 year mark it seems that the stock battery is nearing its life span. But with a new battery this phone is working perfectly. Just thought I'd share my experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sammymcalaxy:
As a chef, I'll offer you this thought: it's the man, not the pan.

Each ROM has its quirks. Same with kernels. Same with carriers. It's how you let them operate. Work with your settings, assess your app permissions, you can always make it better. As tempting as it is to pick the low hanging fruit, it's often times not the hardware, but the manipulation of software or lack thereof. I've seen a lot of people complain about lag/drain/freezes/storage while they are running at least one 3rd party app for each individual task.... or even task killers/managers! To me, those are useless, and only contribute to the issues... Android is beautiful because it's designed to run without the need for all the extra noise.

I digress.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pmdied:
I appreciate the feedback. Eventually an electronic device is going to need a new battery and no amount of rom/app manipulate is going to improve battery life after a certain amount of time. For those that have noticed extreme drops, such as myself, a new battery is a lower cost option that breathes new life into an "older" phone. As I mentioned I'm experiencing nearly triple the run time as compared to my stock battery. Worth looking into in my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
After extensive use the battery will drain a lot faster then when you first bought the phone. I had the s 3 for close to 2 years and the battery life is still pretty solid just not like it was when I first bought the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zoid_99:
Back to 4.1

I've tried various 4.3 and 4.4.x roms and I keep going back to Cleanrom 7 due to battery life. I guess I am stuck with 4.1 until the ohone is EOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
You'll experience this with any battery-dependent device. Batteries wear out. After two years, you'd probably be surprised how much longer a new battery would last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prj71:
Here's my thought on battery life.

The OTA 4.3 upgrade is killing it. Battery life was great on 4.1. Wish I would have rooted so I could have shut down the OTA upgrade app.

My GS3 is practically brand new, so I can't blame it on an old battery. Got it for .97 cents on Black Friday back in November. Even better is that Walmart gave me a $100 gift card to take it off their hands for .97.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Well it is pointless to get a new battery when I am due for an upgrade in a few months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JerseyFF:
It is a lot cheaper to get a new battery than upgrade! I am beyond happy with my S3 and will be looking for a battery when I hit my 18-24 months with the device.

Of course, I am also running my grandfathered unlimited data so I buy my phones used or outright anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
So what is your point? I am not buying a new battery for a phone that i already had for 21 months(bought it in 2012) and only going to keep for 3 more months. Yeah it is cheaper to get a new battery but it doesn't make sense if I am going to upgrade to a new phone anyway. Now I have an extra battery that I can't use. That is like upgrading a graphics card to a 5 year old computer knowing that you are going to buy a new computer that is better then the old one. Lastly why wait 18 months to get a new battery when you can upgrade to a better battery(2300mah as oppose to the original 2100mah battery) that is compatible with the S3 now on Amazon and other sites that sell smartphone batteries.

You're working on the misconception that the Wacom digitizer is switched on/off depending on whether or not the sPen is inserted.

It isn't. Try using a different Wacom pen on your screen with the Note's pen still inserted. You will find it still works fine.

[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
I'm surprised it doesn't have 3Gb. Not because it's needed (though it may with all the usual crap samsung puts in) but because it's not a new thing anymore (note3). I quite like that the back is replaceable. It's SO UGLY. I may have a change of heart about this holding it in hands but that's my first impression. It'd probably be better off with some black cheap back cover from ebay.

I really don't like raised cameras at all too. It's a great way to scratch the lens and it probably makes the screen wobble if it's being used on a table.

Dem extra features. I believe it was wozniak who said features =! from innovation. All those extra functions are nice but they're only adding stuff 99% of the people will only use for party tricks. Not really sure what i expected but then again it's their job to come up with impressive stuff not mine. This one just seems lackluster.

The only reason i'd get it would be if i got it offered to me and i had no say in the matter (company replacing phones for that one, etc). It's a great phone for sure but not impressive considering what else's out there. Also, samsung needs to learn how to treat their customers better and if for nothing else, i'd like them to learn this lesson.

To be honest the only thing that gets me mildly excited about the S5 is the fact they FINALLY decided to put away with that exynos crap in favor of a decent processor, even if it's "just" a quadcore. Since they're not using it anymore on the flagship device, i'm hoping they stop caring enough about older phones that they release proper sources.

If i have any say on my next phone it'll most likely be a nexus - a cheap always updated powerhouse. I may also look the apple and the microsoft way. I wouldn't buy them with the current offer but I'm not adamant for anything if they do grow greener grass on the other side.

TL;DR: S5? No, ty.
