Custom Roms on S4 Active ? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently installed safestrap my s4 active on AT&T SGH-I537 and baseband version is I537UCUCNH3 and safestrap version i used is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56119330&postcount=336. I tried to install CM 12 nightlies on it but it failed. What are other good roms that I can install and will normal AT&T s4 roms work on the active ?

You cannot install ROMs that require a custom kernel (CM, AOSP, PA, etc). You can only install TouchWiz-based ROMs because they will work with your stock kernel. Furthermore it is important to note that since you're on NH3, you can only use 4.4.2 TouchWiz-based ROMs.

[Q] Safestrap on stock 4.4.2 At&t

Hi!
I recently updated to the official 4.4.2 on my AT&T i537. Is there a way to install safestrap on this rom?
By installing safestrap id like to test installing a custom kit kat rom based on any kit kat kernel from the i9295 model.

There is a version of SafeStrap that will work on 4.4.2, but I believe it is only able to install to your stock slot, for some reason there are issues creating a new ROM slot.
As far as the Kit Kat ROMs you mentioned, all the i9295 4.4.2 ROMs are based on AOSP or CM with a custom kernel so you wouldn't be able to use them anyways; the i9295 is still on 4.2.2, there is no 4.4.2 kernel for it. You might be able to install a 4.4.2 ROM meant for the i337 though. Since 4.4.2 is so new for the i537 there hasn't been a lot of development or discussion about using SafeStrap with it.

[Q] Can I install CM or other ROMs on my S5830 model C?

I haven't seen any threads of roms mentioning the Galaxy Ace model S5830C, and I'd like to upgrade mine to a recent Android version(it's on Gingerbread, stock ROM).
Is it different of other models? Can I install the CM rom for the model S5830?If no, is there another way to upgrade my phone with another rom?

NO!
Don't try to flash any rom from GT-S5830 model or you'll kill your phone
Your section is GT-S5830i = C = M
To get root, cwm, to flash a stock firmware

There is a CM11 rom for Cooperve too

G920T EPF1 compatible roms & kernels?

I recently just got a tmo s6 with the EPF1 update. I've been reading everywhere that since EPF1, we cannot downgrade. I have rooted and gotten xposed up and running perfectly. But I am wondering if there are any kernels and roms are working with EPF1? As I don't see any development notes with this baseband.
Are there any roms and kernels that work with EPF1 currently?
Thanks!

Nougat on Note 3?

I still have a Note 3 wifi only that i use for games. It has 4.4.2 Dynamic 6.1 KillerKat on it. Any chance Nougat rom has been made for this device and could I install it still? Been a while since I have flashed any roms.
The att note 3 had a locked bootloader so there is no nougat for this phone.

Could you explain a little more please? I have Safestrap root with a custom rom on an ATT Note 3. Since I could care less for the ATT part could I install a custom rom that runs nougat if no one made one for the ATT version? I only use this on wifi and it's well out of warranty.
The phone can only flash ROMs that work with safestrap and there are no nougat roms that user safestrap.

Okay now I understand. Thank you.
Hi guys , I have been looking through xda and could not find a single discussion on basics of installing custom rom on android devices my very first question is
1.) I have a smasung galaxy note 3 n9005 currently running 5.0 lollipop version, I tries to install a marshmallow custom rom on this device but it fails and I have to again restore my back up so I want to ask whether it is compulsory to install a marshmallow kernel for a marshmallow rom or can a marshmallow rom install on lollipop kernel .
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
No clue about the kernels.
Where might I find a list of ROMS that can be loaded with Safestrap?
This is not the forum for the n9005. The sm-n9005 forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3
Installing a custom ROM on the AT&T note 3 on very different from the international note 3 as the AT&T note 3 has a locked bootloader.

what is the best rom for s5

so i got my old s5 back today on of3 rooted
running twi5ted lollipop v7
what r my options for twrp and newer roms rooted only ofcoarse?
The AT&T S5 is still bootloader locked, so you can't use TWRP, and you can go as high as Lollipop with custom roms.
I've been using AptOS for the past months, it is basically a sort of AOSP Lollipop for the S5. It is rooted, and you can install Xposed on it.
It has some issues, but it is overall quite stable and a nice change from TouchWiz.
Now it is possible to upgrade to Android 6.0.1
