MODS > Please open up a forum for us that have the At&t S 5 Active.
We have root, we have recovery (SS) There are differences between the original s5 and the Active.
Edit: we have our own ROM now as well.
We don't have the finger print scanner. We have extra buttons and some specs are different. S4 Active has their own forum.
The firmware is different, The model number is different.
I was told by a MOD that there was not going to be one due to the Active being so locked down. Well we are not so locked down anymore and really need a separate Forum.
Please let us know if this will happen. A lot of us have the Active and have been waiting patiently. Thank you !!!!!
I agree. We need a thread for the S5 Active crowd.

Yes please! I am having trouble finding any reliable information for my beloved S5 Active!
Me too, Thanks.

Agreed. Anyone flash a custom rom yet? If so, which one?
please
I think we need it please
Yes there's no reason not to, now that we have root.
Yes this would be great as I have just aquired this phone and must say is pretty sweet. Now just need some toys to play with. Maybe get a Sim unlock thread going or something it's a great phone would hate to see it neglected.

S4 active got their own, just saying lol If anything, getting the S5 active their own area would/will keep a lot of bricked phones from happening. Cause we all know how much people love to read and follow directions here on XDA haha!

Hello people at XDA,
I was looking at the "you're a noob on XDA developers" video, and I thought at: XDA is like the old man across the street that yells at you when you step on his lawn, that we can create a lot more of those comparising things .
Let's do that here!

I start:

Don't think so. The more I read into it, the more upsetting it is. Last I heard, the NHLPA was considering desertification which would in-turn make the lockout illegal. The NHL and NHLPA were a billion dollars apart in their initial negotiations. The NHLPA has swayed 800 million in the NHL's direction and they STILL wouldn't accept it! What I think they should do is burn just Bettman at the stake, much like old Salem, but that's just me

I hate when people talk about religion online. It always turns into a flame war about how Christians are "bible thumping christfags". Just because you're an atheist does not mean you have to hate Christians.

Stylus tip replacements and tool to do the job.
The tips confused me as well, not all note models came with them in the box.
0.1 Coffee: All users will wait for mods to finish their coffee before causing problems.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

Ok, thanks for the info. Also, if any mods are having a problem with me asking multiple questions in this thread instead of creating new ones, please let me know. I just thought this is much simpler & cleaner.
Anyway, one more question. I have noticed that a majority of the roms say "MJ5", whereas my phone is "NB4". Does this mean that they are not compatible with my phone?
You need Safestrap to install ROMs. I believe I saw something that said it does not work at this time with the latest version.

Re: mangled text on XDA forums - I notice that too on some zoom settings. I've seen it on XDA, and maybe one or two other sites since I got the Note3 in october. Only on Chrome - I always assumed it was a general issue with a bug in Chrome for Android's text scaling not playing well with certain sites (though it struck me as odd that XDA didn't address this, since like, it's a site dedicated to android mobile devices). Is it unique to the Note3?

I have a feeling it has to do with their web design code. It's the spacing on the font. I'm not at my computer right now or else I could tell you the exact line of code that it is. I'll have a look a little later, but I do to think there's anything you can do about it, Pretty sure it's a a code they have to edit.
