Android ROM CyanogenMod 10.1 is now available for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4, and founder Steve Kondik confirms builds for other versions of the phone will come as soon as the source code is released.
"I just finished the initial bringup of the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919). We'll port to other variants when we get the devices (including the I9505). The first nightlies will go off tonight. There are a few rough edges still, but will be ironed out in short order and you should be able to use it as your daily driver without serious issues," Kondik said on Google+.
"The touchscreen on this device should support Android's hover events. I'm looking forward to see what the community can come up with using this new feature!" he added.
While Kondik says the CyanogenMod team will be working on other variants of the Galaxy S4, the only one he specifically names if the GT-I9505, the Qualcomm Snapdragon version of the S4. That will cover all the phones released by the major U.S. carriers for now, but those builds won'r work on the Exynos 5 Octa version.
No word on whether CyanogenMod will be releasing a mod for the Exynos 5, as that model won't be available in the U.S. until perhaps sometime later this year, if at all.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a 1.6GHz eight-core Exynos 5 Octa processor or a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor (depending on country), 2GB of RAM, a 5-inch 1920x1080 Full HD AMOLED display at 441 ppi, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p HD video, a 2-megapixel front facing camera, internal storage between 16 and 64GB, an SD card slot that can accommodate an additional 64GB, a polycarbonate body, Smart Pause and floating touch tech and runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
