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.

Just wondering if I can put Gingerbread on it. I tried Honeycomb, and while it sorta worked, it's really just not ready yet for using as a daily OS.

No not yet... and dont try it cause it will brick your tab, but always remember if you brick it as long as you can get into download mode you can always unbrick your tab (Sprint) using EA-24.
BTW: Wrong catagory for questions. Use Q&A
Sorry I've been reading this forum all day
Yeah I already bricked it a few times and then brought it back with EA24, which is what I am running now. Is there anything better? I really want those CRT on/off animations and stuff.
I too would love to see a GB rom for us. Probably won't happen though.

Well if you could flash a rom to it -it wasn't "bricked". The term "brick" is used far to loosely now. Its bricked when you cant restore with software and you have to either replace or repair board with jtag etc. What you did was simply screw a flash up so device wouldn't boot a rom.

You will but you will likely have to wait for your carrier or Samsung to update you via kies or you flash manually once its released.
PS. You shouldnt be creating topic sin this section, this is for devs/chefs only for posting roms/kernels/ref etc. Stick to Q&A and read sticky topics.
Hey, question: It's a sprint Tab, but I don't use Sprint and I don't care if the cell modem doesn't work at all. Is the rest of the hardware so different that I can't use one of the GSM ones, for example?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Best place to be would be in the viper one thread. Afaik there are issues with Sprint, as i said though, that is the best place to ask.
So long as you are in a position to flash a rom, obtaining one with the ability to use the HTC logo as a menu key shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294
There are generally less roms available for Sprint phones due to the use of CDMA (Verizon & Sprint) 3G technology as opposed to GSM (AT&T & TMo). There are parts of CDMA that make it harder to make roms for the phones until they release all their sources, which carriers are very slow at doing.

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.
