Just got the phone (Is this the proper way to root) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Got the black one, maybe I should have gotten the white one, but either way I like the carbon fiber look.
I opened the thread where it has a ton of guides and it looks fairly simple as I've done this many times for all sorts of phones.
Being I just got the phone (10 minutes ago,lol) I'd figure I better ask first.
here is the root youtube from that guide

Then after I do that, I am going to reset the Binary Counter by using this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FXULkN5rAU
Do this look kosher ???
Am I good to go?
I don't plan on installing a rom right this second, but I would like to get it rooted for certain apps, and of course to be able to install a recovery.
Thanks

Lol man. I just popped my sim card and set up xda app and already wanting to root it. Its literally been 10 minutes for me

A nice splash screen for Vodafone hackers

Hello all!
I just succeed hacking my German Vodafone!!
Im now running the fast cyanogenMOD (it's like having a bran new phone).
I don't know much about hacking so I don't have that much to contribute to this forum. But I have this one thing that I can give to you guys (beside the redbulls and beers I donated )
I have made this picture because I was so tired of the "red screen of death"

How do I move it? Don't see that function in the "thread tools"
he was asking a forum moderator and he's right. but I have a mytouch and found this article helpful so maybe they could just COPY it instead of moving it thanks.
I'll take care of it.
For future reference you can report the post and I'll come swooping in to move it.

[Q] Use Any App on MultiView?

Hey guys,
I know there are mods out there to get any apps working on Multi-View with rooted Galaxy Note 2's. Has any one attempted to use one of these hacks with the Sprint version? Or do we have to wait to get firmware specific mods to achieve this?
Totally wrong section bro.... Do a little more searching and don't be scared to test something out to let us no if it works or not lol

Ok, I will post somewhere else. I know some type of mod has to be applied for this and you have to be rooted.

I haven't been on this forum in a long time. I just recently switched back to Android from iPhone 5. Apple really let me down...
I've already contacted goddamnit for the unlimited apps for multi window mod for Sprint. As of now it only works for deodexed roms. Patience, we will get some love soon.

Are you a NOOB? Stay away and ask questions in other thread

*NON-NOOB FORUM FOR SGS3*
Xda community,
I decided to start this thread to help some oldcomers along. Senior members feel free to ask any questions in here. I'll point you in the right direction and tell you how I found that information.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A NOOB IF..
- You are new to rooting
- You are new to flashing roms
- New to adb, fast boot, drivers, bootloaders
- You don't understand the terminology
- You don't know the difference between a rom and a kernel
- You don't know how to use XDA forums
- You can't explain what rooting is and what it does
Is this a joke? Now we have 3 Q&A threads...

On some real sh*t, definitely feels like some apple/samsung type shhiit going on lmao .. As long as its cutting back on confusion..
I'm sure the "old comers" already know where to look and what to look for. Besides xda does have a search feature.

[Q] Question about stock email widget

I'm currently running Papa Smurf's Pacman ROM, and on my home screen I'm using the widget that comes with the stock email app. The widget looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have it set to combined view, as you can see. With some past ROMs, I've been able to tap on the envelope to switch between the different accounts, but now for some reason I can't. When I first set up the widget and my accounts, I could see a brief flash of the text "Touch to change account" where it says "Combined view," but I can't find any way to use the functionality. On previous ROMs, I've been able to do this. I don't think it had anything to do with the specific ROM, since it's just the stock email app, but maybe I'm wrong.
Does anybody have any ideas?

My bad, thanks SpiderKenny!
I just wanted to bump this to see if anyone knows of a solution. I'm using CyanogenMod now, but I still have the same widget.
