Triangle away and "custom" unlock icon at boot

Hey guys just got my s4 this morning and rooted it a little while ago with the motochopper root method... everything went smooth but for some reason I did get the custom unlock icon at boot.. I was going to use triangke away 2.90 but its says in there: counter: 0
Binary: official
Device: i337
That being said I don't want to mess it up worse using triangle away since the app says everything is ok
Thanks in advance for your help

Task helped me out and I try not to post useless questions but I did search through the xda app and google using the term "s4 custom unlocked after root" and some other variations and all I got from both is about the bootloader nothing close to the question I had. I appreciate you trying to keep the forums manageable just putting it out there ive been around the forums a while and know how frustrating it can get. . I also looked at tge post task pointed me to before I posted my question but nobody had answered it yet

That screen means nothing, in fact if everyone has not figured it out yet, IT IS A SAMSUNG BULLSH$$ splash screen. When you flash your first rom, that will be replaced by another splash screen. And everyone has asked the same question, if it were me, I would have went back to the thread were I got the instructions to do whatever, and the fix has been mentioned there, for all new people, if you are in a thread, and try something in that thread, GO BACK THERE, chances are your solution is there. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I am so bored I can not hold back answering some of these....

I think it might be time to start stickying some of the more popular threads so they are more visible. Threads with How tos, tutorials, Root methods, etc...Of course, this won't solve the problem of people not looking or searching before they ask the same old questions(which is 99% of the time), but it might help in cases like this when the OP attempted a search using the XDA app (which may or may not be very accurate at searches) and still didn't find what they were looking for. However, it is just a suggestion.

no one is pissed off at you..how long was your question there? i have posted and waited for an answer..and believe me..while you are looking around waiting for a reply..you will most likely find your solution before you see your message answered. Look in ALL the S4 threads and you see a solution. just because you have an att, doesn't mean you can't snoop around and absorb some the knowledge...there are alot of good users here...some have been here for years...so my advice would be read what they are talking about.. if you noobs are serious about modding and such..reading would be your best friend.

I know nobody was pissed and I wasnt trying to come off as sarcastic or angry.. ive been rooting and such since my first moto droid on Verizon.. I repair phones on the side .. I knew what the custom icon meant.. what I should have conveyed better was since the triangle away app said everything was ok with phone if I were to use it would I end up with a brick... it just happened to work out that tasks answer to the other members question about what the icon meant or why he would have gotten that icon in the first place and answered mine as well.. well an alternative to what I was going to use triangle away for... I only responded to scott to put out there that I did search via google and the xda app and couldnt find anything exceot info about the locked bootloader and similar posts regarding the s3 and the custom icon.. ive been here a number of years and with a whole array of devices and I know it can be frustrating answering the same question over and over or digging through the same question over and over to find the right answer...
I didnt take as he was pissed... I didnt intend to come back as sounding pissed and I apologize if thats the way it was taken

[Q] s4 sbeam very limited compared to s3

So I got my S4 the 2nd day it came out. I was lucky enough to get the 32gb. recently I tried sending someone a music file and for the life of me couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong. worked perfectly fine with the s3. so after digging around on the net I found out that samsung has disabled sbeam for everything except pictures/videos.
i am aware that there are apps out there that both parties can install to send other kind of files to each other with tapping feature.
one can also use wifi direct and not have to worry either.
I guess my main question is : Is there a rom out there that enables me to send non picture/video files without having to install a 3rd party app or use wifi direct?

Have you tried looking in the "Development" and "Original Development" sub forums to see what the functions of the ROMs available have? Reading through the threads would provide more information that might not be listed in the OPs. I'm guessing you are not getting replies because this might be a feature that most people really don't care about with custom ROMs so they don't check. Researching the individual ROMs and asking questions (that haven't already been asked) within those threads would probably get you a few more suggestions. Good luck.

I'll be reporting this thread to be locked now. Good luck.
PS
I'm going to give you some advice. Do NOT root. You have NOTHING to gain from it (besides perhaps your volume mod.)
But your phone will run hot, slow and might even lock up. You might not even be able to restore it.
I will NOT help you any further because you fail to read.
Just leave it alone. It works and that's all you need. Don't even try to continue because you will mess something up sooner or later because you cannot find information for yourself. All it'll take is one member to give you wrong information or for you to miss a step or misread/misunderstand something and your phone is done. Garbage. You don't want that. So I say again, leave it alone. Please and thank you.

Relax buddy I made this so that us noobs can get help without messing up others post relax all I'm looking for is little and no aditude I get that from my wife lol
Thanks for answer those questions

I am very relaxed. You did not make this for "noobs" because there are already threads and guides in place to help. I have never spoonfed another member with the same answers to the same questions more than you before. It's redundant and really not necessary to post your question more than once. Which you do. Then instead of reading the answers, you post a new thread with the same questions that I have already answered. You're simply wasting my time. Then you tell me to relax. What? I'm not giving you any kind of attitude, I'm giving you aggravation because you're constantly breaking forum rules, exhausting resources, taking the forum for granted, wasting the time of our members and then have the gulls to tell us to relax. However, if I did have any kind of attitude against you, I'm certain that anyone would blame me. I hope that I don't see another thread posting a question from you again unless it is something really original. Please search and read before posting from no one. Please and thank you.

Come on guys...
I am on PG1 and will be rooting again today. I will let you know how it is and also with Viper4Android installed.
I was on PD8 and he's right, it was overheating until I changed the CPU speeds and governor. My battery would drop so fast I could sit there and watch it go down. Lots of people are saying the new update gives them 9 hours screen time, so we'll see if its any better rooted.

The root method achieved so far is not good. It uses a ENG boot and causes way more issues for the phone than its worth. Unless you are a heavy modder and a experienced rooter its really not for the every day users. My advice is to NOT ROOT and wait for a better true root method to surface. You will just run into heat issues battery issues and a whole bunch of lost functionality.

Turn off caller ID announcement 6.0.1?

How do I turn off the caller id announcement on 6.0.1? I'm aggravated as I've been thru all the settings on my phone and can not find the option. When I was on kitkat (which I want to return to) I previously found it under settings>Accessibility>Vision>Talkback>Settings!
Any ideas on how to turn the feature off? Also i'm using Nova Launcher and it wont install on the internal sd so when I reboot my phone I have to keep changing my launchers from touchwiz to nova! I really want get back to kitkat I had no issues with it and I had it fully customized!

I found out it was actually an app I had installed doing this that I totally forgot about. But I still want to get back to kitkat!

Just got new phone... now willing to brick my Galaxy S4 SM-975L to try rooting...

OK, this phone has been quite a fine phone, but it never did update from Jellybean. It is being replaced with a new one now.
As far as I can tell nobody has reported rooting this puppy. I'm will to "brick" it in an attempt to root it now - - so I'm looking for pointers.
