Considering the S5 vs the S5 Active and I know they are much more similar in specs than the S4 vs S4 Active but there are still a few differences between the two, no USB 3.0, no Fingerprint reader, adds physical menu and back buttons and is more shockproof.
So besides that is there anything else to consider like OS updates, Root or Custom ROMs?
I saw the S4 Active was limited in support for Custom ROMs that would run on S4 but not on S4 Active.
Any information or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

there is alot more custom roms for the regular s5. but either device is a flagship in this line. without considering root and roms, both are great devices.

Are we Galaxy Note I going to have Galaxy S4 features? There are news that S3 and Note 2 will have it. Hope XDA dev could port some for us.
Don't even know if the note is going to get another update. But yeah s4 has some non hardware depended feature like smart pause which may work
Well its too early to say as its just unpacked but i believe that Dev will start working on it once it hits the streets to port as many features as possible until any specific hardware is missing for that feature :good:
I recently picked up the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini Virgin Mobile variant, the Samsung Galaxy "Ring" (SPH - M840) and noticed that there isn't much of any development going on for this phone(or it's Boost Mobile sister the "Prevail 2") at all. So it got me to thinking to ask here, could someone try to build a CM 11 (4.4.4 android) ROM for this device? Or at least find a way to port S3 mini ROMs to this phone?
Being stuck with 4.1.2 is slightly annoying for me on this phone, considering I'm coming from an ancient LG Optimus V that is running 4.4.4, and this was supposed to be an upgrade for me.
I have it rooted, and using xposed Framework, but I miss the perks of custom ROMs. There's hardly a fully functional custom Recovery too, and it seems that theres no signs of current Devs for this phone as well.
I know this may seem like a lot to ask, but considering this phone is supposed to be similar(some hardware is different I believe) to the S3 mini, I figured I'd take my chances here.
Thanks in advance,

I have the Note 3 from ATT and would like to root. I used to have the S3 and had little to no issues finding the information and a ton of roms but it seems the note 3 isn't as fat in that regard. I REALLY want a lillipop rom like Cynanogyn(sp?) or something very lean. I click on the roms button on the ATT Note 3 page of the forms, but nothing seems to be available much less the actual software to root the note 3 with. Any tips? Am I missing something?
I am using mi Pad 1 for almost a year. Now I am considering to buy a new tab. I have a budget of around 200$. Galaxy tab S2 8.0 Nook edition is available on eBay for around 200$. Should I buy it now or wait for Tab S3 release hopefully that will bring a price cut to original tab S2? Any suggestions on it would be helpful.
Is there any real difference between Tab S2 and S2 Nook?
Can I flash tab S2 ROMs on Nook edition?
It seems to be the exact same tablet from what I can tell after looking at the specs, the only difference seems to be the barnes and koble added digital freebies and apps. I have the original Samsung galaxy tab s2 and it's an amazing device so I would definitely go for it contigent upon what was just mentioned. The only awful thing about the tablet is the fingerprint reader, from what I read it's using the same technology as the s5 for this. As for roms yes I don't see why it would be an issue as it seems to be an identical tablet, I have the t715 model and as far as I'm aware there aren't any stable roms for it currently or if there is, there must be a very limited number since I can't really find any.
I've been an S4 Active user since 2014. Great phone for field use around water and muck. Very well supported by the folks at JactivelTEAM as well as on this forum. I have upgraded to the S5 Active 870F which still has official Lineage support. Thanks for all the help and trouble shooting! My S4 i9295 daily drivers are currently available on the 'Bay. Cheers!
