Does anyone know of a multi boot setup for the galaxy s4? I'm coming off a moto RAZR and I had safe strap on it which allowed me to partition the memory and install multiple ROMS... Just wondering if there was a similar program for the s4... Thanks.

same situation
Came from razr maxx and in same boat... Would like to have samsung rom for Remote features and one for battery saving
hint to devs that might be reading this...
Hopefully there is an awesome person WAY smarter than me working on that as we speak. I hated that phone but having safe strap was freekin awesome. I'm a flash-a-holic and being able to run 4 ROMS at the same time for comparisons was great... phone was garbage but that part was great...

Safe strap will work at long as you have not updated to 4.3 OTA on VZW not sure which carrier you have

Hello. This is my first post. I apologize if these questions have been answered before, but I find your forums a little difficult to decipher. Lots of esoteric abbreviations.
Anyhow. I was recently given a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 tablet from T-Mobile. It has Android 4.4.4 (SM-T337T) and I was disappointed to find out that I don't have the S Note app. Where do I find beginner instructions for installing it? And I'd like it to be the one which can convert handrwitten math formulas into pretty form. MyScript has an amazing app which converts formulas as well as produces their LaTeX code, but it's only available for iOS devices.
Secondly, and this is optional, I'd like to put Android Lollipop on it, because it has fun new functionality.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful and tasteful comments.

I'm working on grabbing you the S Note app file, hold tight (or google S Note apk file). Idk about the math formulas thing, you might want to ask in the Tab 4 Themes and Apps Section.
Lollipop hasn't been officially released for any Tab 4 variants yet. There are a few lollipop custom roms (i.e. Cyanogenmod 12) for a couple of the Tab 4 models, but I'm almost positive that none are compatible with your tablet model. And yes the roms can only be designed for specific models (for the most part).
Hello dear, I have a galaxy note 4 which is an N910u (exynos). I know that CyanogenMod does not support this s**t. Also, I miss the old days with my CM 11 s3 LTE. Therefore, I want to contribute to the work in bringing CM into Exynos. However, I am NOT a well educated developer or even a developer. I googled many pieces of information, I found that there are just too much. I can hard to related them all into a single system. So I got some questions in starting my journey. I will be glad if you can help me. Thank you.
1. Apart form git, what should I learn in order to start my journey?
2. I am wondering if a person (LIke me, not even a developer) can look into Exynos Chipsets. Or should I leave this out?
3. I can't relate the role of Kernel, Baseband, Recovery, boatload and Rom in a phone. Even if I have googled what they are, I still haven't got the idea of them. Could someone please help me explain them in a simpler way?
I will keep this post updated.
Hello? Anybody here?
CM is available for the Note 4 Exynos: CLICK
It's still a WIP though.
Hi Everyone,
I am new to writing on the forums however I have read them over the last several years!
I am in the process of purchasing the Nexus 6P for 2 reasons
1)- Project Fi
2) Rooting- With regards to rooting your first phone if you all can go back to that time as I know most if not all of you are pros at it by now, I would very much appreciate to hear the mistakes you made if any and any advice in general. I have read all of the threads on rooting and I had a rooted Verizon s5 that a friend of mine did and I LOVED IT!! Unfortunately since I am on Verizon (don't kill me to much with the comments, unlimited data is the only reason) I am stuck with phone that I can't do anything with. I currently have the Note 5 and Note 4 and I know these cannot be rooted so its time to get the Nexus 6P and learn how to do it without bricking the phone!
So please if anyone would like to chime in, I would appreciate it any and all feedback greatly!!
Thanks everyone!

Way back when when I first rooted my (maguro) Galaxy Nexus, I didn't bother to read enough, learn how to do things for myself and used a toolkit. Of course there was a problem that I didn't know how to recover from, but luckily managed to figure things out enough to get through it. So read, read some more, then read more again. Oh, and skip the toolkit. Just follow Heisenberg's Guide. btw, Fi & the 6p are a great combo.
Agreed, follow the linked guide. If you follow the directions exactly, you should have no issues rooting it. Just do it right away as unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. So any apps you installed or tweaks you make before doing that will be lost. I'm also on Verizon, and that is a very big part of the reason I went with the 6P, to have a rooted modern flagship phone on their network. But I have no regrets. It's a great smartphone. Just takes a little getting used to after owning Samsung's for a while.
Lol I've made my fair share of mistakes on the nexus 5 and even prior to that on the LG G2X. The thing about a nexus is that it's pretty darn difficult so hard brick. Most of the time if you just can't get the thing to boot, you can always fastboot flash stock images and or recovery if needed. Learning to use fastboot is a huge safety net for you with this device. I read Heisenberg's guide 10 times before rooting the device and I STILL had questions. Luckily, the nexus community here at XDA is the most hardcore, friendly and helpful android flash addicts that you'll find on the net. We're always here to help. Especially Heisenberg himself. He's always answering questions and explains proper procedures in a very clear, understandable manner. Read his guide, its now your android bible. Enjoy the 6p!
Awesome, Thanks for all suggestions, I will for sure read it again at least 10 more times! Feel free to keep the suggestions coming, Thank you everyone!
Learn the Fastboot method for everything!! It is reliable and takes out any third party toolkits.
Hey Guys, if you had the opportunity to purchase the Note 4 Developer Edition or the Nexus 6P which one would you chose? I found a guy selling the Note 4 locally, and since I had a note 4 I have a bunch of accessories for it already. But the more important question is which is better software wise and for rooting? Thanks!

The 6P beats the Note 4 hands down, especially when it comes to software and rooting. There is literally no phone available that's easier to modify than a Nexus.
Awesome, thanks so much Heisenberg!!! I am going with the 6p, and I can't wait to try your root method, thanks for all of your hard work!!!
Nexus 6p 64 gb ordered!! Thanks everyone, reading and re-reading everything as I type!
Hi Everyone, I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question, but I have been studying the Heisenberg's guide root for beginners.
My main concern/question is that it states that Java is required for root. I currently do not have Java installed on my PC as I have read that it is "unsafe" I have a mac and a PC in which I can perform the root, however the guide is for PC. With that being said, does anyone know of a safe way to download Java on a Windows 7 machine? Or a link? If so please let me know, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Safe way to download java would be to get it from Java themselves without the junk ask toolbar. - https://www.java.com/en/download/
Alternatively you can use something like ninite to stop the bloat install - https://ninite.com/java8/ (i'd go with this option as it simply downloads and installs without effort and no junk attached)
Thanks, I will check it out now!
Don't use the toolkit to root.
