Please note these builds are under heavy development!

Known issues
  • Headset in-call mic uses phone
  • HDR Camera mode may need improvements, but should at least work

4.3 mini-FAQ
  • Q) I'm stuck at the boot logo and/or a boot loop!
  • A) Make sure you use TWRP 2.5.0.2. TWRP 2.6 and other recoveries can cause boot loops & hangups

  • Q) Root doesn't work!
  • A) From a clean build you need to enable root access for Superuser itself. This is different from 4.2.2 in which Superuser by default had root access on a new install. To do this, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. If an app attempts to request root access before Superuser itself has access, it may cause problems with that app in the future where root requests are silently denied.

  • Q) Titanium Backup isn't restoring apps!
  • A) Change the backups folder to storage/emulated/legacy.

If you use Philz recovery 5.10.0 you must upgrade to 5.11.0 or you will lose radio!

Since the SGS4 is so new, development is happening very rapidly. This should be taken into consideration when flashing any 4.3 AOSP-based builds on the device. Known issues will be listed here.

Does anyone know how to change the storage location for the camera? I've been trying to find it but it's no where to be found..... Thanks!

EDIT: looks like it's an inherent lack of feature for 4.3 camera :X

Hi, Could you list what the stock DPI is for the S4? In your FAQ you mention a few devices but nothing about 1080p screens. Would like to go back to stock DPI, find the new one in this rom too small

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the ROM or my gmail settings, but I'm not getting a notification drawer entry when I have unread mail in my gmail account. It does show up on my dash clock widget though. I noticed this in 4.3 beta2 and beta3, but not in 4.2.2 build8. Am I missing a setting or is this a bug in the ROM/app?

Something is up on your end. Clear app data/etc.
