Releasing the kernel of mobile terminals for some companies is becoming a habit, and a very good one indeed. On this occasion it has just been learned that the specific Samsung Galaxy S4 for Android version 4.3 it is already in the game, which is good news for everyone.

And the reason for this to be positive news is that independent developers can already work on this kernel, which is official and, therefore, the work they do specifically for the Samsung terminal will be much better finished and optimized. An example can be applications and even Custom ROMs. And, of course, this is also a good thing for users who own a Galaxy S4, as they can make the most of all the options that this reference phone offers.

If you want to get the kernel based on XXUEMJ5, you can download it from this link from Samsung's Open Source Release Center website. Getting it is completely free, and the compatibility is total with the models GT-9500 and 9505. Therefore, Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor terminals are included.

This release is somewhat curious for some regions

It is true that in some countries the update XXUEMJ5 of the Samsung Galaxy S4 operating system, but in other regions it has not yet officially arrived (the free models in Spain are an example) and, the truth is, it is still frustrating that even the kernel is released and that still not have the possibility to enjoy Android 4.3 officially. These types of issues should not occur.

The fact is that if you are a developer or curious, you can already get the kernel Android 4.3 of the Galaxy S4, so you can start fiddling with it and learn about the work done by Samsung. In addition, this can be the basis for creating your own ROM, for example.

    I just flashed my S4 GT-I9505 with this XXUEMJ5 update and it doesn't work for me, it's not stable at all, many applications and processes stop, you can't use your phone normally. So I happen another time to the one I had before.
