This may now be an age old question, but will root and custom rom installation be avaible anytime soon?

I believe what you are looking for is HERE. As to custom Roms, you can look HERE.
I'm on 4.3 vruand3. Sorry for sounding like a noob but is this for me . I really miss custom roms.

Since you are on 4.3, check out the thread HERE. Also, always be sure to read, read, and reread before proceeding with any process.
Great. I didn't know I could install a rom after safestrap. I've done this before the last update. Thanks a lot .

Best of luck. Remember to read, read, and read some more before doing anything.

My husband has a Samsung Vibrant 3G, I rooted it and installed MIUI-NB_1.12.2_signed a few days ago and he really likes it. He just bought a used Samsung Vibrant 4G with the FFC on Craigslist today. Our question is if I make a ROM Manager backup of the current ROM on the 3G, can I install it on the 4G or is the hardware so different that it is impossible? Thanks for any feedback !!
Vibrant ain't sgs4g. Vibrant roms (nitpickers) brick sgs4g, ROM manager shouldn't allow flash work on sgs4g... ROM manager issue with sgs4g too.
Treat both phones/roms separately...

You did the right thing by asking first. If you need more help just go ahead and ask in this thread, plenty of people willing to help others who ask the right questions.
OK, we have decided to leave the OS virgin for now, no root and no custom ROM Maybe later we'll root at least. Thanks for the feedback and keep up the GREAT WORK !!

So I know for future reference, what is the easiest and best application to root the 4G? I have quite a few downloaded when I rooted my husband's Vibrant 3G, such as SuperOneClick and Galaxy S One Click Root All Models. Which one do you recommend?
Depends if your on froyo or GB
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It's Froyo 2.2.1 It's probably a much better thing than being on Gingerbread to root, right? It's a PAIN in the badonkadonk to downgrade via ADB, been there done that twice with the MyTouch 4G's Successfully too, it was a huge learning curve though LOL
Eh it's the same really.just the method differ. For froyo you can find super one click 1.9 and use the PS nueter (sp?) Option just like you did with the vibrant.
are you planning on cwm recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
yes, I know CWM pretty well since I started rooting MyTouch 4G's a couple of months ago, I find it easy to use and never had any problems on those particular phones. But then, the MyTouch 4G's are HTC phones, this is a Samsung and a completely different kind of breed If you have anything better and safer for rooting the Samsung Galaxy S 4G's, I'm all ears
You could hit the GB upgrade, root, and cwm all in one flash with my one click guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422824

Tell him it's ok that his phone isn't as good as yours/ours. Just once for me
If you decide on updating, 2.3.6 version is really smooth. There's a few ROMs around, just read up and follow any/all directions.

Seriously dude you need to chill, or you can politely ask a mod to move it to q&a. This rudeness is not constructive nor is it helpful to anyone.

Moving to Q&A
Hey everyone!
What is the consensus on something like this?
It is called MoDaCo.SWITCH and it allows touch wiz to be run with the ability to boot with a stock android rom.
I can't post a link due to xda forum rules because I am a new user, but just search modaco switch for Samsung Galaxy s4.
Thanks fellas
Edit: also BGR is where I found the article and apparently this developer created this app from an indiegogo campaign if I heard correctly in his video.

Yeah I am trying to get it ran on mine issue is that its an international and doesn't come with the Loki kernel and Loki patch doesn't work but you can flash your own kernel. I had backed it on indiegogo and I have it ATM. Trying to figure out how to install a different rom as well. But its only in beta and unless you donated you can't get it until official release.

Yeah i just realized this is for a different version of the Galaxy s4. My bad everyone. I thought it was for the s4 in general

I have just updated my tab to the above and have to admit I am largely unimpressed therefore thought it might be a good time to root and try some custom Roms (as I had to when I had the same problem with my HTC ONE S).
Is it still done the same way as I would have on 4.2.1 (or whatever I was on)?
As for the update I don't mind it too much it's just the lag and the seemingly worse battery life, I suppose I would rather have the old tool bar and task bar too but hey Ho, at least the keyboard seems more responsive.

Same situation here! CD worked great. I was hoping the update would be enough but I should have known better. Just make sure drivers are good to go. I just updated my kies to be sure. Good luck on your end. I gotta get a ROM on here fast. Even my son laughs at the tabs speed!

Wrong place. OP needs to request a move to Q&A.
But yes rooting and/or installing custom ROMs is the same.

Thanks! Is this thing still pretty active? Would just like to get a nice stable custom ROM set up...
Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
Not really much, we have cm11 but without working cameras that's in general named some things for the ltet217s which is really about it. Theyres a custom touchwiz ROM from mijah that's really just themed and that's about it...

I cant even get odin without some other bs. You got a clean zip?
Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk
Check out the nocturnal rom once you get rooted. It's themed and runs really smooth that and it's one of the only ones available. This is definitely not the most popular tab out there but it's pretty solid. I have no complaints and I'm used to the best of the best when it comes to Android phones. Plus it's another device to root and play around with. Sorry I don't have an odin, but I'm pretty sure there is one in the development section. Samsung devices are pretty easy to root, probably the easiest out there.

Hey guys sorry for another generic root question. I just acquired my GS3 and running 4.3 I did a quick search and couldn't find anything in regards to rooting this on 4.3 everything I've seen is for lower versions. Could someone please direct me to a guide to root this, if possible. Thanks.

Look at the sticky thread in development. It should have everything you need.
Oh, and towelroot works as well apparently.
