Please close this thread as it is untested and unproven to be working on the S4. This is similar to the Bravia engine mod thread that was shutdown.

Awesome! Who would've suspected that such a thing actually exists.

There is also a thread in the 9505 original android section which has the same thing plus some audio mods I believe.

Sorry if I'm wrong, but Isn't XXXMG9 newer than this one (MG3)?
What could be the benefits of downgrading to this version? the chinese modem?

Previous ones used to be BMGx , now this one is CMGx.

Do they? I'm downloading the firmware now just for the heck of it. Im on Trinidad and Tobago firmware currently and I can't flash any other firmwares anymore because if I do, my imei is getting effed up. I want to try if this rom would work.

Yep, sadly it's true. As for your IMEI, backup your EFS folder to your PC. That way if you lose your IMEI, you can always restore via the EFS folder.

I'm not rooted so I really can't access the EFS folder. Or I'm terribly mistaken?

Bump. Anyone noticed any changes?

I don't think Google play store Even exists on any China phones due to govt regulations. But take that with a grain of salt I thought I remembered reading about it a while ago but things change as time goes on so who knows. Have you tried manually installing or using market enabler?

Hey.. thats why it is supposed to be 4.3 not 4.2.2.. 4.3 brought under the hood performance they say as I am sure sammy will bring additional crapware bloatware and stuff.
I guess my thought about sticking to 8.92 gb pit is right. If this 4.3 update is not smooth and stable I'm off to 11.82 gb pit with the CM..

Maybe yeah. That would be a degrade.. but then there are those new features in camera options.. so maybe.. it is real.. unless someone can fake those options too

Will you please explain why a bump in antutu score would make it fake?
Its just a curious question..

looks promising
it looks awesome , waiting for the offcial 4.3 release
thanks

What's wrong with the kernel? Google updated the GNexus to 4.3 but it remained with Linux 3.0

Hi Kurotsuchi!
Thanks for creating this thread. Your efforts are appreciated but I was wondering if you have any explanation of the following two things.
- Backward Kernel
- Alot Higher Antutu scores
We members (here on xda) would love to know where and how you got this firmware from (source) and when you got it.
Thanks!

When something leaks for Samsung devices would be the first to know is Sammobile

I just added you.
Well let's come to the topic. The main problem which is faced by me in porting S4 camera is actually DPI for instance........I have fixed other issues but the only one which remains is DPI problem. Because of that the cemera doesn't show up Camera shutter keys. MODIFYING DPI is a very tedious task. I have knowledge on how to change dpi but now a days I'm out of time..... Have a lot of work in my to do list. So I'm not giving time to this project but I shall continue it asap.
