So people who have in the past had jailbroken iPhones would definitely know about Cydia and Winterboard.
The good news is its arrived for Android. Bad news, it's still in the beta stages and knowing the fragmentation on Android, it doesn't work on stock Samsung based ROMs for I9500. But that's changed now.
So with with the help of the developer of the app @saurik , here's a version of the app that works for the I9500. I have tested it with DocRambone's ROM. It should work for all ROMs XXUAME1 onwards.

Link to the apk that works on I9500. Download APK here
Prerequisites: You need to be rooted. I haven't tested with other versions of Galaxy S4. but you may test and I shall update the OP accordingly.
Failsafe Boot option: After rebooting, if the phone gets stuck on recovery or doesn't boot, You could either try booting with the Volume up pressed, or simply delete /system/vendor/lib/liblog.so to deactivate Cydia.
You need to install Winterboard after you have Cydia Substrate installed. Here's the link to the app on Play Store. DOWNLOAD HERE
Please test the apk on various versions and phones so I can update if it works for other iterations of the S4 too.
Reserved. Just in case.
Are you sure this works? Because I've tried using the apk from the market, it didn't work.

Yaa. The market apk doesnt have the fix. I sent saurix the liblog.so from our phone and he's patched the apk to work with it. And the link here is for the new apk.

It basically allows you to run themes that otherwise won't work... More like a theme chooser for CM but for all ROMs.. The only problem I see is the fragmentation that exists. Those phones which are close to stock like Sony ones, would benefit way more than phones like ours, where possibly nothing is like Stock Android..
Hey ! i m user of IOS and Android for years. i got devices like i4,i4s,i5 and S2-s3 and now a S4 LTE when i download cydia-winterboard for google store i got bootloop and now my device wont back up even with back from recovery this is still crap i think we must wait ! winterboard is an awesome programm! when they perfect port it to android world i ll pleased

The app works for me on my I9500. The app store app didnt which is why the dev fixed it here. Why device did you try it on???
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 2
I believe the issue here is that the version tested by adyscorpius was 0.9.4003. I quickly found a regression in 0.9.4003, and followed it up with a version 0.9.4004. However, it turns out (I did not realize this at the time) that the regression was actually part of the fix for the S4: Samsung mixed some symbols that are normally only in libcutils.so into liblog.so; as the fix for the S4 involved a number of extra symbols, it seemed like these would likely not be required.
I then got word that it no longer worked correctly on the S4, and I came up with a solution that works on any device (I forward symbols to either liblog.so or libcutils.so as a fallback), and this was released as 0.9.4005. It is highly likely that as 0.9.4004 came fairly quickly after 0.9.4003 (due to the large number of people testing on non-S4 devices, including myself: I caught it before I even published 0.9.4003 to the Play Store) many people here tried 0.9.4004.
FWIW, I would have guessed that while some background daemons on the S4 were affected (I pulled a stock ROM and did some static analysis to figure out what would have been broken) adb and USB would still have worked, allowing Substrate to be easily uninstalled. If this was not the case, and you were operating with a locked bootloader (and thereby were unable to just pull the resulting files via custom recovery), then I'm really (really) terribly sorry .
In order to keep issues like this from ever happening again, in 0.9.4005 I also developed a system that would be able to detect symbol conflicts: the setup application now would have detected the issue, both the original pre-0.9.4003 conflict, as well as the 0.9.4004 conflict, and would present a message to the user telling them that Substrate is unlikely to work. With this change, I'm pretty certain that Substrate is now able to detect all possible harmful conflicts.
---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------
Oh, another detail: a few days ago, I ran into a friend of mine at a meetup thing that had just gotten an S4; I took the opportunity to root it, and verify that things worked on it: it did (tested at the time 0.9.4006, I believe). However, Samsung seems to have some one-off (Samsung-specific) programs on their devices that I currently beleving are using unitialized memory. I saw this both in reports of people testing 0.9.400[34] as well as myself when I had a chance to work with the device.
In 0.9.4005 I took the solution of blacklisting one of the processes (/system/bin/ks) and in 0.9.4008 (probably coming out tomorrow) I'm going to be blacklisting another one (/system/bin/mcDriverDaemon). The latter process doesn't seem to have any side effects when it fails, but the former causes the radio to not work (in case anyone saw that symptom with 0.9.4003, so that's fixed in 0.9.4005 and later). Neither of these failures keep the device from bringing up USB, adb, and su access.
I apparently am not going to be able to test personally on an S4 again until Thursday (six days from now), but when I do I hope to be able to remove the couple blacklists and allow modifications to those apps. (As these issues aren't fatal, the latter doesn't seem to even have a symptom, and in both cases was trivially fixed by blacklisting, I'm having a difficult time justifying going out and purchasing an S4 for this test--which I'd normally do, but Thursday isn't that long from now.)
I would love that on my s4 Im running latest omega on my s4(i9505) but it go to bootloop... Any news about update come in on?

Cydia Substrate looks very interesting. Just wondering under what license it is released? Open or closed source?
Open source and it could be a nice competitor to Xposed. Closed source and I will always go with Xposed instead.

What is OpenPdroid
OpenPdroid is a opensource project to manage your app's privilege without break the integration of the program(Restricting apps by provoke there privilege might always cause some unanticipated behavior. FC etc.)
[MOD][4.1.2 or 4.2.1][GPL] OpenPDroid [v1.0, 2013-01-14]
What is Omega Rom
Needless to say, fabulous custom rom designed by indie.
I don't use OTA version of system because this version of Note II only available in China but not elsewhere in the world(d*mn TD-SCDMA), and it provides the worst update ever, even fixing panic level bug(/dev/exynos-mem privilege bug) will not get a update in time.
Thanks
svyat - The first person who delved into this area, and designed the first best privacy protecting framework ever.
TrevE - The first one who ported the whole framework(PDroid 2.0) from auto-patcher to Galaxy III, seeing it happened make me decide to give it a try at the first time.
indie - The first custom firmwire I have ever used on this device(I didn't try much firmware on it but this one is decent and much more sleeker than what stock one provide me
deer mateorod - Auto-patcher project really ignited the possibility to port this framework to other non-opensource android frameworks.
FFU5y - Author of this great framework. love it :good: ,the also the whole framework and privacy management tool(also privided by deer FFU5y) is all open source.
The last but not the least, all of the developers who posted so much invaluable tutorials on android reverse engineer and also the system of android itself(dalvik-virtual machine is really cool when considering to patch a non-opensource project,but is really a nightmare of developer who might want to protect its app from being hacked or changed by someone else)

Before Install
Before get it start, make sure you have Samsung NOTE II 7102/7100(International WCDMA version) rooted and have CWM loader & Omega ROM v15 installed. If you have somehow have installed pdroid(2.0) on this device, make sure you have deleted /data/system/privacy* before flash these files(otherwise it will report for error when initialize openpdroid framework)
How to Install
Download
Download it, copy it to somewhere in your sdcard, reboot to recovery, install the file. reboot.
After flash it, you can download PDroid Manager from Google Play Store or download directly from author's page.
I got a problem
RESTORE
Flash this file if you cannot boot into the system. A full log(logcat) is appreciated if you could privide me some more info about the error.
What if I use someother roms on it
OpenPDROID is fully opensource. so does cm/aosp and aokp. If you use any rom of them. You can directly patch the rom source and compile it from scratch. That's out of the scope of this post.
Also I have plan to make OTA rom patches if possible. But since I use 7108 and I don't have a 7100/7102 right now, so someone maybe have to get involved to help me test the result.
for any other roms which derives from touchwiz framework(samsung stock rom's framwork,etc Omega alike.), you can upload the following files(/system/framework/(framework.jar&framework2.jar&services.jar&core.jar) here, and to see whether it is possible to get a quick fix running on this version of rom .
for some other international version of Note II. PLZ don't flash it directly(Right now it only passed the test on WCDMA devices and I have no idea what it will behaves on a CDMA device, but if there were enough time and request I will take a look into it also),to get gsm working properly only did I reworking days and nights on the same file(I did working on this patch for about 2 weeks at weekday's night before sleep) just because of some silly mistakes in the code, and to find it ,debugging such error, is kind of hell if you don't have the source code of the framework.
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, DONATE FOR ME,I WILL USE THIS MONEY IF I COULD GET A GALAXY S4,AND MAY DO MY BEST GET IT WORK ON THE NEW DEVICE
cheers

I don't really think there will be a universal one. Because each rom have there own modified version of framework files. get a single patch work on them all is somehow impossible.
So if you don't mind and would like to take a test, plz uplaod your framework file, and I would like to take a look and to see whether possible to get it work.
Well like for most common roms like arhd wanam phoenix alliance.
Isn't a vrtheme one possible or is it too deep modification.
I am ready to test it for wanam.
Also simplistic also installs framework files which adapt good enough to each and every rom I have tried... Maybe it would work universally.
I can try it perhaps. Just mod a stock dmc3 one or rather simplistic one.

When I got up today. I updated my NFL Mobile. Then when I open the app. It seems as though greedy NFL people have blocked the use of the app. On modified android phones. I have AT&T not looking for the Verizon APK.
I'm looking for a older AT&T version, or even better a hacked version to use the new one with modified andriods. So if you have or can do either would be greatly appreciated.
Note: If you have a Modified or Rooted phone and get the NFL Mobile update now or in the near future. I suggest you do not update it. This really is a must have app. for me. Thanks.
I am sorry but that would be considered warez at this point. XDA is not the place to look for this.
Thanks
Friendly Neighborhood Moderator
EDIT: OK after further research there is the app for AT&T or Sprint that does not have any streaming capabilities. I assume you mean this version. And if I read your request correctly it will not work at all on rooted devices. I believe making it work on rooted devices is a worthwhile endeavor and is not considered warez.
So thread opened
Here is the old version: http://db.tt/mwdRhFcR
Tried to disable root in superuser and hide my root. Neither helped.
OK, I just tried to get this app on my work AT&T tablet and it says "Not available for this carrier". However I installed it and ran it fine on my rooted Sprint S3. If no longer available for AT&T then this would be considered warez. Although if the older version still works I see no harm in that being shared but it will eventually stop working.

Thanks, but I already took it from a back up ROM I had. I tried posting a link of it to my OP but as I was doing so it was locked. Now that its back open thanks. For people that want to use this first uninstall the updated version completely or it will not allow you to install. I will continue to look or work on the update file to see if I can get it to work with rooted phones.

Is this what you get when using the above link? If so I will post mine as mine is NFL 13 and not 12. Mine still works good and has not forced me to update. It is a free app. and I dont use any of the functions you have to pay for but works for me. Once games start though I don't know if it will continue to work the way it did last year as I believe they change parts of it when the season ends they update. Then before drafts begin another update and now right before season begins another update. With little changes in each.
n that s the old nfl 12 app from the market. it wasnt compatible with my nexus 7 last year so i had it laying around from when i had to side load it. ill try the link above and see what i get

Kingo Android Root is a well-designed, aesthetically pleasing application for Windows based computers that forgoes the device specific route, and offers rooting for a lot of Android devices from a variety of manufacturers. Supported phones include the likes of Google Nexus lineup, several HTC devices including HTC One, One X, One V, Droid Eris, Motorola Defy, a number of Samsung phones, popular LG devices and some smartphones from Sony. It offers a true one-click root experience, where you have to just download the application, install it, connect your device and click Root.
There are a few things that you need to be mindful of. When connecting your device, you need to have USB Debugging enabled in Android settings. There’s no requirement for pre-installed device drivers, as the software will take care of that for you. In fact, it will give you the Root option only after the drivers have been properly configured. Past that, all you have to do is hit the Root button, and let the application work its magic.
The app pushes SuperSU binaries which are slightly outdated, but get instantly updated to the new version thanks to Google Play. However, it won’t install a custom recovery, so that part you’ll have to take care of manually. Kingo Android Root supports Android versions up to 4.3.
Homepage: http://www.kingoapp.com/index.htm http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
How to Use the Kingo Android Root One-Click Tool
Step 1. Download the Kingo Android Root windows application and install it on your Windows desktop.
Step 2. Once the installation is finished, run the application and connect the device to the computer with USB cable to start the process. Now the application will install the latest drivers on your PC.
Step 3. This will take some time to install the drivers. Once the drivers are installed on your PC, you will see a new screen on your desktop with your device name and "ROOT" button. See the screenshot below:
Step 4. Hit the ROOT Button from the app screen to begin the root process on your device.
Step 5. Be patient. It will take some time to finish the process. Once the operation is completed, you will see the “Root Succeeded” message on your screen.
Your device should now be rooted. With the help of this application you can unroot your device as well. All you have to do is select the Unroot button and follow the onscreen instructions. For more help, check the application FAQ section Mod Edit here too..
**None of this is my material. This is the work of the Kingo team.**

It's unclear what was causing the slowness, but after a while it finally all went through and my phone is now rooted. Thanks!
I did have to restart the App several times while it was downloading the update. That also seemed to be going very slowly. My download speeds wouldn't go above 100kb/s (consistently) and after a while the download will stop at a certain percentage. I would then have to restart the app, and then it would continue from the percentage but then stop at another percentage.
I have 25+ MBps connection, so I don't think it was my internet. It could have been the laptop though for slowness on both ends, downloading and communicating with the phone. I would have to look into it further though.
Anyways, thanks for responding to me!
Did you use any other devices via USB port? I know when I did mine I had to delete my USB drivers that way it would go faster and not unmount my gs4 all the time.

Here is a thread where we can all have a central spot to have fun with our phone.
I would like to turn this into an "All Things Root" thread. I'll maintain it as things progress.
All info is available between this thread and the one linked.
Here is THE link to get the ball rolling on root.

Hmm I'll have to check this out on my daughters phone. Root is nice but the bootloader unlock is even better!

I love the phone. I believe it will be one of the most underrated mid-tier phones this year. It's a Huawei is the reason; although I've owned many Huawei phones my first being the T-Mobile Comet years ago.

Check out stevotdo's link. Have to do both because he made a rooted kernel image for us. Can't flash anything until the bootloader is unlocked.
He lays it out in a very easy and manageable way. The thing that takes the longest is emailing Huawei and getting the phones unlock code.
It took about 4-5 hours for them to reply to mine. Seems some people are not getting replies. My recommendation is to send an email late in the day. Check the time difference between where you are and China. If you send it when they are in the office you'll most likely get a response like I did.
I titled mine "REQUEST: Y536A1 Bootloader Unlock Code"

I just want root, I could care less about the bootloader. If it was my phone I'd surely unlock the bootloader but it's not my phone, I only pay the bill lol

Had anyone been able to remove all the att bloatware? I cannot get uber, yp and that damn flamingo program to come off.
Can't seem to install xposed framework on this phone even with root. I verified root was working properly with root checker but I still get the message "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install framework and reboot?" I gave it root permission, installed/reinstalled, and rebooted several times and still get that error message.

Found the solution to xposed not installing. It's a workaround but some modules won't work with it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52801382&postcount=8
EDIT: GravityBox wont work
Finally I have been waiting for root since last November thanks!
Now does anybody know how to get portable wifi tethering hotspot to work without it giving the verifying authorization & "temporary network problem that prevents the enablement..." error?

I'm going to add the exposed instructions and the bloatware removal instructions to the OP later tonight.

See OP for Xposed installation.
I would advise against removing AT&T address book. When I removed it, my "Contacts" would still try to open AT&T address book and wont finish loading. Titanium backup had trouble restoring it and I had to do a factory reset. It would be helpful to have a list of bloatware apps that are safe to remove but I use this device as my main phone and I can't risk testing every app and breaking it.

Can someone post the .apk of this? It'll save from having to factory reset.

If you all want a real good program for lock screen notifications I recommend an NiLS. After you install it make sure it's checked in accessibility then go into program manager and make sure it has access to drop zone

Also it's really cool if you use the new version of Google and Google now launcher you can set it up to where you can say ok Google while the screen is off

AT&T Address Book
I have attached the APK for the AT&T address book
Is anyone else enjoying this new version of EmotionUI? Thank goodness they added the app drawer.

CAUTION with 5.1.1 UpdateG925PVPU2B0F7I've been spending some time reading T-mobiles issues with the update. This isn't a super new conversation, but is probably new to many Sprint users. The update appears have rollback protection, which effects both kernel and bootloader from what they are saying... Which I find slightly confusing since I didn't think that their was a locked bootloader on the US versions (maybe someone can assist with that)
Figured we could start the conversation early for Custom Root/Recovery/etc. users, so that we may save some of us some trouble with Soft/Hard brinks in the next week or so.
This is the thread I've been looking at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151
EDIT:
NO, the bootloader is not locked with the 5.1.1 update.
Rather, "Factory Reset Protection" (an Android thing - not a Samsung thing!) is now an option, which allows you to lock the bootloader yourself, protecting your device from someone installing a custom recovery, wiping your device and making it their own. It makes the device somewhat less valuable, and therefore (supposedly) less likely to be stolen.
The 5.1.1 upgrade looks to be a "permanent" upgrade, meaning we're not able to revert back to 5.0.2 kernels and recoveries.
So, I would suggest to sit tight with your current set up. In order to customize our devices we will need to wait for:
A) Root for 5.1.1
-Root has been achived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...elopment/5-1-1-stock-of7-kernel-root-t3153396
B) Samsung to post the source code for the new kernel.
C) Custom Recovery
-Recovery has been achived:
Once we have the above, we can get back to modding our devices.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Interesting article, I remember several other older Samsung devices where you could not downgrade bootloaders and modems. IE Galaxy S3, note 3, s5. But there was still root, Roms and the ability to flash kernels. Hopefully there's no need to go back anyway. The kernel thing is something new so I may hold off on upgrading. Thanks for the info

This is my first Samsung, so the whole root recovery process was almost too smooth since I've been on the HTC side for 5 years. Unlocking bootloaders, S-off and requesting tokens to push.. Ugh, as must as I likes HTC and Sense, that sucked.
I think I'm holding off as well, untill Sac23/ Ram9200 might have spare time to look over the update first and make sense of it all and could at least get it to where V.2 is right now. But it sounds like the Kernel could be our hold up, without Hybridmax's current support.

Yea but based off of my years of experience and having Samsung devices, I'm pretty sure that someone will find a way moving forward, but going back probably won't happen. I too had an HTC evo years back lol and I couldn't stand the root process. I feel your pain. But yea it may be wise just to wait for a while on the update
Root added

I've been keeping up with the thread. Looks like T-Mobile got it worked out and looks like it didn't affect the international variant. US cellular just got it. Let's see what happens with them
