How To Install CyanogenMod 10.2 ROM in Samsung Galaxy S4 for all S4 variants (Non-Octa Core)

Hey friends, some Noobs (Noobdev) made a CyanogenMod 10.2 for Samsung Galaxy S4. It was first to get Android 4.3 update (after Nexus 4) but it got CyanogenMod 10.2 late, not that much! Actually I am posting it late :P Samsung Galaxy S4 is the fastest android device we have in this date today because it's first device to get Octa-Core processor (Even my laptop is Dual Core :P) which means it is faster than my laptop :( Okay, anyway, we were on the topic of CyaongenMod 10.2 for Galaxy S4 so I want to discuss some features of CM 10.2 ROM. The Focal camera application, which is one of the best highlights of CyanogenMod 10.2 is the best camera application, why? because it has some of the features that stock SGS4 ROM does not have like Flash mode: Torch, On, Off, AutoWhite Balance: Cloudy Outside, Daylight, Fluorescent, Incandescent, AutoScene Mode: Theater, Sunset, Steady, Sports, Snow, Portrait, Party, Night Portrait, Night, Landscape, HDR, Flowers, Fireworks, Candlelight, Beach, Backlight, Best Shot, Augmented Reality, Auto, Color Effects: Neon, Sketch, Emboss, Aqua, Whiteboard, Blackboard, Posterize, Sepia, Polarize, Negative, Black and White, DisabledExposure, Color Enhancements, Exposure Measure Mode, ISO Sensitivity, Burst Mode, Timer, Settings: Widgets Chooser, Auto-Enhancement, Exposure Ring, Image Size. There are many other features of this ROM, I won't discuss them because the post will become too big! Please use latest version of ClockWorkMod Recovery because if you will use Philz recovery, you won't see boot animation and if you will use TWRP, you will face rebooting issues

So, download the files first :D

How To Install Samsung Galaxy S4 Launcher on any Android Phone

Hi! When Samsung Galaxy S4 was released, it was released with some new features like Group music and some other features but to start anything, you need to have a launcher in android, so Samsung Galaxy S4 also had an update of TouchWiz launcher. This is TouchWiz 5, some people don't like it because of less features but I like because it looks neat. It is tested in AOKP ROMs and AOSP ROMs so don't ask me that will it work on CyanogenMod, Miui, Lewa OS, Mokee OS, MIUI JB, Paranoid Android 3+ or other, it works in any ROM. But for TouchWiz, you device should be rooted and it should have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed in it.

How To Install Android OS 4.3 In Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S IV is the best android device till now. And it is getting best development support. it got cyanogenmod, miui and other mods. Samsung Galaxy S4 has now got leaked Android OS 4.3 update. sssshhh...don't tell anyone!! (Dont take it serious). Don't know from where it was leaked but when I was searching new forums and updates, I saw that Samsung Galaxy S IV got Android 4.3. Devs are now trying to root this firmware. This is a stock firmware so no mods because it is not rooted. There are 2 ROMs, 1 deodexed and other one is Odexed. Samsung Galaxy S iv got a guide for rooting but it was for JellyBean 4.2.1 and it wont work in it. The update is of 3xx mb (not more than 350 MB) and uploaded on Hotfile, dont know why MOST of the SAMSUNG firmwares are on hotfie, Mediafire is way better. You can choose any ROM. Deodex gives better performace but if you are android app editor then you should try Odexed ROM. In short,  if you are normal user, use Deodexed version and developers might use Odexed.
SamMobile ported Android 4.3 for Samsung Galaxy s4, this ROM is nor alpha or nightly build. In this ROM, everything is working. As I said, no mods so it is purely AOSP. They haven't even added tweaks in this ROM, so you can enjoy fresh, clear stock ROM in Galaxy S4.

Wait, wait!!

This ROM is only for Samsung galaxy s4 gt-19505. If you tried on any other version of Samsung Galaxy S4, it MIGHT brick so don't try to install Android 4.3 on any other Android device or other Samsung galaxy S4.
