Hey XDA!
I recently purchased an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. It has MF3 and is rooted (obviously). I installed SafeStrap earlier this morning and was looking for custom roms to put onto my phone. However, I was unable to find any for the Active version. I have seen plenty for the regular s4, but none for mine. Do you guys know of any that I could use? Or a better question would be is it even possible? I dont think I can put the roms for the regular s4 on but correct me if im wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Currently the only functional rom is the active Intl Google edition.

The AOSP ROM from LeJay is presently the only known working ROM compatible with Safestrap (I think I said that correctly, who knows) and it can be found here:

Hey @br0adband did you read that we can flash stock based 4.2.2 gs4 Roms for our actives? Its only a matter of adding the two physical menu and back buttons. I am anxiously awaiting more people to try and verify. If I get brave I will attempt it after work today.

Didn't know that, no, but I no longer have the Active.

Not yet. I'm a sucker for touchwiz though, so I'll give it a try in a couple of days. aosp has too much black and blue coloring for me. I tried shostock first because that's what I had on my s2, and I loved it.
EDIT: d/l link is down

MOD EDIT: THERE IS NO BEST! AS EVERY MEMBER'S SETUP/PHONE/USAGE/APPS/SIGNAL STRENGTH ARE DIFFERENT. YOU MUST TRY FOR YOURSELF TO FIND WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU
I am sorry that if I may just be too worry about my device but I think everyone should be the real question I am asking is whether there are any current roms that are working with the Samsung galaxy s4 active AT&T (i537) F3, That is the phone I have, its running Geohot Root and Safestrap 6.3 and can not wait to hear that Task650 is working for it, That would be my perfected phone!
I appreciate the Responds I get, its my first time Posting on XDA! Great Site!!

as I think that
OPPO kind of ruined color rom and I do not want to use it anymore because of it not being ready for daily use, I would like to ask you folks which custom rom is the best in your opinion. Therefore I would like to know what the most positive and most negative aspects of each custom rom are so that I can compare them.

Just to help you. Even 4.3 roms don't work for the ATT version due to the need of a new kernel. Until we find a way to replace the kernel we are pretty well jacked.
ok so do 4.2 asop work? i dont see much development in here
maybe i should exchange this for the Normal GS4 ?

There isn't any development for the att version. I had the original s4 before I traded for my Active. The original was laggy. The active is a better phone in my eyes. If I was you I would take it back and get the lg g2. My wife has one and I'm extremely jealous.

Until an exploit is found on both the regular S4 and the S4 Active you are limited to flashing TouchWiz-based ROMs because of the kernel limitation mentioned above. Currently the only way to flash AOSP-based ROMs is to purchase a phone with an unlocked bootloader (the international versions).
Your best bet is to use Safestrap.

all the roms that are available for the i9305 are in the development section for the i9305. dont try flashing roms of other devices, you will brick your phone!!
there is no such rom as s5 rom at the moment for i9305 like the revolutionary s5 for the i9300. you could ask a developer to port the i9300 one to i9305...

Well there are a number of ROMs to give you a fresh look, have you tried them all?
And on top of that Samsung is releasing KitKat for our i9305 in May. Should be close to the S5 ROM, shouldn't it?

If you want it to look like the S5 then flash forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-galaxy-project-t2125984
and flash the s5 addon pack. Thats the closest you are going to get.

Even though it has a faster CPU, the 1 GB of RAM is not enough to support KitKat, according to Samsung.
In fact, they are just too lazy and they want to boost the sales of newer devices.

TouchWiz and sammy bloatware is the reason why Samsung have not gone ahead with building kitkat for s3 mini

Hi there,
my GF also just bought that device. Till now, I haven't found anything like a custom rom for that gear.
It is very surprising/sad that this device hasn't cought any attention in the dev community.
And root can only be done with VROOT so far, if Im not completely wrong.
I wish there would be any news regarding custom roms in the near future.
Perhaps one dev will read this and will picture my crying wife in his mind. And perhaps he will port some existing rom for the i8190 and recovery to that device...
Regards,
Hicks
I search over 2 weeks and ask on different forms and developers websites, but no luck.
I think there are not enough users of the s3 mini GT-i8200 version to have the developers attention.
I wanna all the users that have the model to gather in one place and a developer maybe will see us and he will change his mind and try to make a custom rom for our device too.
Regars,
Narcis
Perhaps we should build up a donation pile for a dev who will port e.g. cm11. [emoji2]
pleaseee i8200 custom rom 4.4
pleaseee i8200 custom rom 4.4
Like a said before, if we the users of this version of gt-i8200 don't gather in 1 place, the devs will not notice us

comments on why samsung have not put KitKat on the s3 mini were based on official announcements made by samsung
the reason they gave was due to insufficient hardware capabilities
I have not seen any new announcements stating otherwise
if they have gone ahead with putting KitKat on a device with lower specs then there must be some other reason why it was not done on the s3 mini

Hi guys,
I'm looking into flashing Cyanogenmod onto my S3 4G, but I'm concerned because my model number is GT-i9305T and there is little to no mention of it having any compatible roms. Are roms designed for the GT-i9305 compatible with the GT-i9305T?
And also, should I follow instructions in the threads on xdadevelopers or follow instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki?
Thanks

Hi,
All i9305 roms are compatible with the i9305 T or N models, should be no problem
i guess it would be the best to follow instr. in the threads given by the rom devs. you can always ask anything you want in the thread to be sure

Hey, thanks for your reply. But what does the T or N mean? Does this have something to do with the radio antennae/bands/frequencies (sorry for the bad terminology) of the phone? Then will the i9305 rom still be compatiable with the i9305T?

Yeah - hardware is identical other than being compatible for different frequencies (T is primarily Australia and Telecom NZ, N I'm not sure but its another region)

Yes, the T or the N versions use different frequencies and other than that its the same hardware just like Soryuu said. the N is for the Nordic countries. Dont worry about compatibility, you can flash any i9305 rom you want mate
Note: If you dont care about some bugs here and there, go for AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod, but if you want a rom with fully working features with almost no bugs go for other 4.3 sammy custom roms, just an advice to keep in mind

I'm assuming you're asking about the SGS4 base model, so in that respect, spec-wise, the S4 base model would be better than the S3 LTE as it also has LTE as standard across all the S4 models, and has the same amount of ram (2GB), a more updated faster processor, a better screen, bigger battery and better battery life as many reviews have stated, and has a higher resolution camera.
So no this phone isn't better than the S4, spec-wise.
