So, what I'm wondering is this: is there anyone interested in a custom ROM based on stock 4.2.2 for the SGH-I537 optimized for SafeStrap? I've been thinking about experimenting with ROM creation, and if there is an interest then I will try my hand at it.
Really, the only pro I can see for this is the use of the Underwater Mode in the stock camera, but if you'd like to see this project then please make some feature requests.
Not being anything close to a dev, I've been playing....not much progress....just a trial and error kind of thing.

I would be so happy to have the stock camera back. Maybe some xposed built in.

I think it would be great to have another S4 Active ROM, everybody loves options and I'll test whatever you come up with. That said I'm wondering if your efforts might be better spent elsewhere. There are a ton of great i337 ROMs that work pretty well on the S4A but could be a lot better. You've already begun working on the MasterPatch and it works really well, but there are some hiccups, particularly with the APN settings. What if you figured out how to port the Aqua Mode camera to regular S4 ROMs, or got the APN settings working, or getting LeJay's camera fix working properly. It just seems like there are already a bunch or ROMs out there that you could use as a base and selectively improve.
If you're looking to tinker and improve your knowledge by building a ROM then I fully support you. Maybe this is the route to go to figure out how to get regular S4 ROMs fully working on the Active, I don't know. No matter what you decide to do I'll help you any way I can. Thanks for putting this out there I really appreciate the effort you're putting into this phone.
If you do build a ROM, the only feature that I've been missing from TouchWiz ROMs is CM theme support. I don't know if it's possible but it would be an amazing feature if you can pull it off.

Have you tried Geohot's Active Root?
I would be interested, but only if its 4.3 or 4.4... Because honestly this GE ROM is good enough for me until I can update to one of those versions. The underwater camera would be cool, but I'm surviving fine without it.

I`am real excited about this rom and i think others are too so i can imagine people having questions.
Don`t want to clutter up the dev section so i took the liberty to create this thread so people can exchange and share all kind of CM9 related stuff if you want
Will it have all of the S-pen functionality and the Samsung S- apps? Like S-memo?
Samsung hasn't developed the S pen ability on ICS yet, so it will take a while .
I'm not touching a ROM unless it's official.
Maybe I've grown up, but flashing ****ty buggy ROMs is not for me anymore.

When I flashed CM7 on my nexus one, it was far from ****ty and buggy. I'd call it official in its own way; rather refined, actually, with better performance and many more features than my previous "official" ROM. I don't know anything about CM9 yet, though.
Galaxy s2 and s3 have all put their hands on the new 4.1.2 beta, waiting anxiously now for my i9305 international version. anyone has update on this? :fingers-crossed:
Doubt this will happen, they are just too different from what I remember in prior discussions.
We should have something pretty soon for our phones tbh.
On another note, I have been using it on my 9300 for a few days and it seems a great improvent, it is good on battery, there are lots of little improvements including the Samsung Keyboard where the word appears automatically as you type. Multi WIndow is great although not sure how much I will use it, still it is there if I want it!
Really looking forward to 4.1.2 coming over to the 9305.
I have played around with it. The only issue I am having is with the baseband and imei not being detected. Have tried a few things to fix it but am stuck at the moment with what else to try. Other than that it boots, has root and everything else works.

Chiming in here to say that I have been working on this too. But you knew that from our discussions via PM.
I am wondering if we might be able to get the ball rolling further on this for our devices. There are considerable differences between these devices but that shouldn't stop us.:fingers-crossed:
On another note I am thinking the AOSP is the secret to bringing more popularity to this device seems alot of people are waiting for this and keep asking for this,,, So i am thinking of porting an AOSP rom for fun and chucking it in for a variety
mmm not sure about that, I think the new 4.1.2 features outweigh a AOSP release; MultiWindow probably beign the biggest so as soon as 4.1.2 hits here I think there will be some very happy people.
Personally, I use lots of the other features like Allshare Cast, Dual View etc... which I believe (not positive though) would be lost with an AOSP build.
Still happy to try it out is you manage to port it over!
yes i would not use the AOSP but CM has a MASSIVE fan base and so does AOSP... But I agree with you 4.1.2 is much better but even this version has now been merged with AOSP in the i9300 forum lool we need more devs here its too hard to keep up with little help
Devs or no Devs i am still very happy with this device and would not swap it back with the one i had before, which i gave to my mother as a gift But yehh If i really wanted too i can swap it .. But no thanks
Phone is great and already rooted it. I wonder, should i install a custom ROM or keep the stock one? What are the benefits of installing a custom ROM on the active? In the past i always installed customs but for the Active i'm not sure i need it at the moment. Thoughts?\\

There are countless articles on the benefits of Custom vs Stock ROMS. I personally love CM10.2 that I currently have installed on mine. I'm waiting for CM11 but that looks a while off. If you leave it stock, though, you'll easily be able to update to 4.4 soon. I personally HATE the touchwiz interface, but I'm jealous of some of Wanam Xposed's capabilities. Other than that, you've said you've already used custom ROMs before...

I've installed nova, and themer and about me. all amazing interfaces. also found a workaround to enable wifi tether. what else can i do on a custom rom on the S4 Active that's worth reverting from the stock? I'm just trying to see if there's anything major i'm missing right now.
Also, i've noticed there's very little dev action on here compared to the S4. Is that because not a lot of users have it? or because S4 roms can be used on the active?

There's less action here because the Active has less users. S4 Roms are similar to the Active and can be, in a way, "ported". They are NOT interchangeable though.
Nova and Themer don't require a Custom ROM such as CM. CyanogenMod is the most common Custom ROM so I'm going to focus on that. There are other good ones for this device such as SlimBeam and Smasher X.
Here is an article with the Top 10 Reasons To Install CyanogenMod.
While the above article is a good article, it doesn't go into enough depth about it's Customisations and Usability tweaks which are (along with speed) the main reasons that CM is my choice ROM at the moment. For example, if you find that the auto-brightness is sometimes a bit too high or a bit too low while using your Android device, you can tweak this to your own specific perfection. There's hundreds of little tweaks like this built into CM that essentially make using TouchWiz afterwards somewhat frustrating.
In saying that, a lot of the things you can do on a Custom ROM can be achieved on the stock ROM through things such as XPosed framework with modules such as Wanam Kit or other third party apps such as All In One Gestures, or tasks created in Tasker.
I will also be doing a guide on how to get the AOSP Android 4.4 look on your stock TouchWiz Device.
Hey guys,
I installed Nexus Experience ROM on my Verizon Dev Edition and it is based on CM12 AOSP. Is there a way to get Motorola Apps to work with it? I miss touchless control and moto connect primarily. Thanks!
Nope. Only on stock firmware.

Asking out of ignorance- is there really any reason to get CM12 over stock+Xposed besides their cyanogenmod account stuff?

Mainly CM12 is lollipop while stock + Xposed is kitkat.
But a lot of people just like CM, its light and sleek and has some nice features/options.

D'oh I guess I forgot about the whole lollipop of it all! That would certainly be a good reason.
For clarification, which features/options does it have that you can't get with xposed?
I'm just gonna wait for the official release, add Xposed, and freeze unneeded crapola but still interested in keeping up. cheers

As of now, there is no xposed for lollipop. It only runs on Dalvik, not ART and the developer does not know when/if he will make it work with art, or if it even can be made to work the same.
I'm thinking its pretty likely something will happen eventually but it doesn't look like he is even thinking about doing much until development of lollipop slows down as he has said for now its "a bit of a moving target"
So it may be a while/never.
Huh, of this I was not aware. I might hold off to see how this pans out.

Hey guys my phone is Mortola XT1060
I found some issues working with it one of them is there are no The font that uses in My country included to that, Hence I have to face kind of matters over and over How could I fix it which means how can I add my fonts to my phone
I was looking to get the Nexus 5 but I lost my camera the other day and I like taking pictures.
So I remembered about the Galaxy Zoom and I see there is a new version, The Galaxy K Zoom.
Is there custom ROMs for this? Only thing that is holding me back...
(BTW, why doesnt it have have its own section?)
nope. and never will
Why will that be?
too few developers on it, to little interest in device from consumers
we are just a bunch of enthusiasts needing such a camera phone
the broad folk is buying all that ultra slim hyper fast highend stuff
Well, if you want ROMs to start appearing, you might want to deodex the stock rom of the device. After that happens ROMs are bound to appear
Who needs custom roms?
There's absolutely no need for custom roms imo. I just rooted it, installed the Exposed framework and installed gravitybox. All your favorite customisations are right there and there's no need to flash anything
I know, but it seems like he wanted ROMs, so I gave him a way
