Hello;
I have a rooted and unlocked at&t SGH-I537. MOST of the rom released have will not work on at&t SGH-I537. Is that true? Is there a way around it?
Thanks
The AT&T version of the Active currently (still) has a locked bootloader and until that gets cracked/hacked/bypassed in some manner then no, custom ROMs won't really appear at all.
All the ROMs for the Galaxy S4 will not work on the Galaxy S4 Active - they might share a lot in common but they are far from being the same phones.
Just have to be patient and hope a small miracle happens, but considering the already waning interest in the GS4A, it might never happen sadly.
I figured this phone would really take off...but at&t isn't really pushing this phone anymore. All I know is this is the last carrier specific phone I buy.

I thought this was going to be the last phone I buy for a few years, I guess I was wrong.
I have to admit I think the screen is killer on this phone. Way better than the amoled on the s4.

I prefer this screen too
Well this is a bummer, is there any new news on this situation? I kinda figured since it's an att exclusive phone it would have some limitations on the ROM front, but there isn't even one legitimate ROM out there for this awesome device?
-Thank you

There are no ROMs specifically for the I537, however...
Safestrap allows you to install (up to 4, theoretically) most any ROM out there at this point for primarily experimentation since there's only one that appears to be working properly but there's a specific sequence you have to follow to get everything working. You can find all the info you need as well as Safestrap in that thread located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448942
The only ROM that's working as I just mentioned is this one, the AOSP port of the Google Edition for the I9295 (the International GS4A):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406177
With Safestrap you can "install" a ROM that goes onto the native internal storage of the device, runs from the native internal storage, and now because of Hashcode's update has the full performance expected (all 4 cores recognized and working).
I currently have the stock MF3 ROM (the AT&T junk) install as expected, and then I installed Safestrap (updated to the newest one released on Sunday morning), added it as a recovery method, created a new slot (of the 4 you get) for the AOSP ROM, grabbed the ROM itself, the MF3 kernel modules which get the actual hardware like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functional (of which there are MF1 modules for the MF1 stock ROM available too), then the camera fix zip created/shared by LeJay to get a working camera. No you don't get all the Samsung additional stuff like HDR "Rich mode" shots, or a lot of customization at all but the camera does work for regular pics and video recording.
It runs very well, posts benchmarks well past the standard GS4 (meaning using stock ROMs for it), and the HTC One as well so it's great.
Graviton and S4 active
Just as an FYI I just got the Graviton ROM working on my S4 Active. Pretty much followed the same steps as Broadband. It just took some guess as to which kernel to choose. I also chose the i9505 model. The wifi fix works for this as well. I'm about to try the camera fix and the menu/back key fix
any one know if Samsung is planning to bring KitKat to S4 Active?
@Srolfe657 Did you ever get the camera working with the Graviton ROM? If so how?
It looks like there might be 2 ROMs out there that might work.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active#romList
I haven't tested them but I'm looking into it... I purchased my Active used and it was already rooted... currently running 4.2.2 and I want 4.4.2 so bad!!!!
Safestrap 3.65 not working
Has anyone gotten safestrap 3.65 to work I installed it seem to go smoothly then power cycle and no splash screen so I cant get into it . Should I be using CWM ? if so what version there isn't one listed for the s4 active.
Thanks for any help
Hi all
Been looking for this for quite some time now without success.
Is there anyway to get NFC woeking with 4.4.4 or 5.0.2? (using cyanogen).
I paid extra for the NFC version since i use it for a few things so i don't want to give it up.
The closest i could find was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241936 but it's a much older version of android.
On a side note getting tired of Samsung phones because of this. Great when new with recent stock roms but as soon as i want to update them i have to start sacrificing things i paid for. Or is the same with all brands?
Thnak You
I think there is no NFC function in cm roms, since they're developed for regular s3mini. My s3mini is a nfc model too. They should develop a rom with NFC ability.
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini
tenshi_xp's PAC Rom RC-3
KitKat 4.4.4.
Yup
Seems the NFC version was sold in small numbers.
Better go for a nexus next time
Is that any patch that can fix???and...another fix NFC patch for other phone can be work on us ??? I am using NFC model too
Can anyone tell me if the Xposed Framework is currently running stable on Samsung Note 4 yet? I know there were issues with bootlooping earlier this year, but have found nothing to indicate whether it has been fixed or not. Thanks!!

Have you found a working version yet? Sometimes I feel like the ugly step sister, because it seems like the Sprint variant is always the last one to come out if it comes out at all. :silly:
I know with some ROMS and some Carriers it's just a matter of taking the generic ROM and adding the correct carriers software to it, and then rebuilding it (though I'm sure it's not as easy as it sounds).. so then is Sprint just not as popular or is it more of a pain than the others?
Developers built a Cyanogenmod 13 rom for galaxy s6 that uses the same exynos 7420 processor of our note 5.
Any developer is able to build cyanogenmod 13 for Note 5 using Galaxy s6 sources ?

As you've read on s6 thread, CyanogenMOD rom is now full of bugs with our Exynos SoC and the bugs never can be fixed. So I dont think someone should spend his/her time to build a CyanogenMOD for our beloved Note5, just a watse of time
Cyanogen Mod no support exynos,never can fix all bugs,n5 maybe use kernel cm s6 but need new device tree

CM13 for Note 4 (Exynos) is almost bug-free. The only remaining bugs are there because there's no Marshmallow source yet for that device (mostly camera blobs and bluetooth calls). Even fingerprint reader works. I don't know if it's too hard to start working with Exynos 7000 series, mostly because of the 64x architecture. But as far as I know CyanogenMod supports Exynos SoC in both official and unofficial ways. It's just matter of time. Wait until Samsung stops supporting the Note 5 and AOSP roms will fall from the sky. Cheers.
That's why I don't use a note anymore because to hard finding a good rom

It is what it is. It comes with an stock rom and it's not intended by Samsung to use an AOSP one. I don't know why people wants to lose all S-Pen, Multiwindow and Camera goodies just for the sake of having "pure android". Use custom TW based roms or get a Nexus 6P. After all, it's pretty much a Note 5 (even shares the same screen) without Touchwiz and a S-Pen.

I thing note 5 no need rom cm13,.. because rom stock-touchwiz base android 6.0 very fast,smooth and stable,no reload app
I only buy a phone if there is a stable CM13 rom for it, because i love rom. I use expanded desktop allways
I was considering to sell my Note 5 because i had very poor experience with the Android LP but with the MM update things changed like night and day for me. It would be nice to see a working CM on this phone but i'm good without it for now.
Just chill out cm will come to n5 like it came to s6 just is not ready and for ppl who say why we want cm is because its called more development and more learning for the devs on exynos chips

Hi, I just got a Nexus 6. I want to move to an aosp based rom as soon as possible. I am on t-mobile and wifi calling is a must. My question is does P.A.C. rom support wifi calling and volte like cm 13 does?
If you can't find your answer in the Opening post features list, or by searching the thread on WiFi calling and volte, I suggest taking a nandroid backup and flashing it to find out. :good:

I am not using wifi calling because it is not available here in the Netherlands. .
T-MOBILE want's to earn money with the services they offer. It seems logical to me that this wifi service only works with T-Mobile branded devices.
When you flash an other rom you need to read about the new rom. In the description there must be stated that wifi calling is supported.

You are correct for all devices but the nexus 6. the stock international nexus 6 rom works with their wifi calling and cm 13 does too.

They actually released Lollipop builds but have been largely inactive since then. There are some releases (I believe unofficially) that are floating around on androidfilehost and some other places... But they are in their infancy of Marshmallow. It's based on CM13 with (last time I checked a few weeks ago) not too many features added on top and probably largely considered to be experimental or in the alpha stage of development.
For sure Pure Nexus Project and Dirty Unicorns support wifi calling and I think Chroma and AOSiP do too. Any ROM based on AOSP should really support it but ROMs based on CM13 may or may not. I've seen conflicting information. From a reddit thread, a user said WiFi calling works on CM13 for the Nexus 5X but not his Nexus 5. Nexus 6 I am unsure, but make a nandroid backup of your current setup and go wild on testing different ROMs :good: I can't tell you because I don't have Tmobile anymore (although I did for a short period with my N6)

Ah, you mean the pacman rom...I used it alot on lollipop, but yeah, not to be seen anywhere since most of us switched to MM..
BTW, almost all the current roms in the N6 dev section have wifi calling now, both the AOSP based ones, and the CM13 based ones...

Oh, thanks for the info. I wasn't aware CM13 had native wifi calling support. I'm glad it's baked into Google AOSP now for Nexus devices. I remember using a Galaxy Note 3 and so bad I wanted to put an AOSP/CM based ROM on it when I had Tmobile but the support for Wifi calling was only available on stock bloatwiz/lagwiz/whatever you want to call the garbage stock firmware. And where I live had zero Tmobile signal. Had to get by with root and wanam xposed. But now I'm back to the glorious nexus master race (and another carrier, so I don't need wifi calling).
Thanks. My last device did not support PAC rom. I was not aware that they are not really active any longer and there is no marshmellow version.
Thanks for all the info.

What is P.A.C rom?
I got the impression that it is a custom ROM and not the international stock rom.
Its this rom..
