its a minor update so i think it will work it this one,but only can confirm when i install late at night.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
I'm in the process of compiling a deodexed zip. Rooted and zipaligned. I will also upload a separate modem package that you will need to flash. The modems package (NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin) should flash ok with PC odin but it's best to use mobile Odin for it..

Would anyone wanna test it and verify all works ok?

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Ah, well, here goes. Here's a flashable zip of MF8. It's deodexed, rooted and zipaligned. Default CSC is DBT but it doesn't really matter since this is a custom ROM.

MF8 zip: https://mega.co.nz/#!1l9WgK4J!brS-UGoitJ4dGUTD92f86TFxjo5rFLT2YDkxDvKcSV4

MF8 modems tar: https://mega.co.nz/#!Y1FEwZKL!Ik4X3Xb-lull-4otppMjy2F4fHsHHukHfe51WdvsznE

The modems should flash with PC odin but I'd recommend mobile Odin. If Mobile Odin says something about "there is no partition file" or something, then manually extract the tar.md5 file with 7zip and flash the modems as they are. You put NON-HLOS.bin in the modem field and modem.bin in the modem #2 field.

I haven't tested this and I don't intend to. You don't have to flash it if you don't want to.

DISCLAIMER: I can not be held responsible for anything that happens. Flash this on your own risk.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Simmo3D:
I'm gonna hold off. Hoping the XSA firmware (unbranded Australia) gets the update quickly like the last one.

EDIT: all I want is the ability to move app data to SD card, then the S4 would be perfect!

Yes.

Last time I flashed via Odin from MDM (ITV) to BMEA (DBT)

I was sure to have DBT version now and I was waiting for an OTA update...

But now I just checked my csc version with kies and...surprise! I'm still ITV(Italian version)

WHY? Now I need to flash again the entire firmware via Odin...

How can I change my csc to DBT with this fw?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Your older CSC was kept because you didn't wipe.

What really happened to the BTU versions? I don't see any BTU since MDM...
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcindpol:
I'm stuck with the same problem ,I kept my old BTU csc. Please clarify, how and when to wipe. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
You can wipe now from recovery, clear cache and reset factory settings.

To access recovery switch off phone, and press volume up + home button ( keep them pressed ) and turn on the phone while holding all those buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcindpol:
Thanks but it didn't help. Kies still shows my old BTU CSC. Cannot do the ota to MF8 that has been released today for german rom.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
So just flash the ROM with Odin. Its much better than OTA and Kies.

You gonna have a clean and fresh ROM.

Do a wipe after installing the new ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] javier13javier:
any improvement?
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcindpol:
Well it means the full wipe every time updated rom becomes available. Its a pain in the ass. Oj this case I'll better come back to official stock BTU. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
Its not necessary to wipe all the time when you flash. I personally do it to avoid any kind of issues.

You can flash without wipe.

Will flashing this over MDD still include all the changes made in updates in between ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
Of course !
[Galaxy S 4 General] bill1clinton:
Any noticeable changes?
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
I'm coming from a very old Brazilian firmware so there were big changes for me specially battery wise.

But if you already have a newer rom you shouldn't notice any differences I guess.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Schrotty35:
Not working by me. I have flash 6 times and the csc is itv and not dbt.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
Try harder:cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Wipe data, then flash the full odin package. Your CSC will change to the default one of the tar you're flashing.

Wipe data BEFORE commencing the flash process.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
I wonder when the purple smearing will be completely fixed:mad:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Simmo3D:
I tried this any everything else... DBT CSC will not flash over the BTU one.

I ended up flashing the XSA firmware and the CSC changed straight away... Very weird
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Samsung's implementation of the AMOLED technology in the S4 somehow got f***** along the way because other AMOLED screens don't suffer from the purple smearing issue.

It's clear that the green pixels aren't as fast as the red and blue ones (red + blue = purple) so they solved that by making it (the settings background) more grey-ish black, kinda like LCD black. The smearing isn't that visible at higher brightness though. (50% = partially visible and completely gone at 100%)

Weird indeed. Odin tars work in mysterious ways.
[Galaxy S 4 General] techfreakgag:
Yes it did get fixed. No issues with the camera whatsoever
[Galaxy S 4 General] J4ME5x:
I used odin to install this last night everything seems fine so far, whats the csc? Noticed a few people mentioning it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
If you didn't wipe, it's whatever CSC you had before. If you wiped, your CSC's probably DBT.
[Galaxy S 4 General] J4ME5x:
Whats the difference between the two? What will it change.

Will this fix it?

Note 3: To change to the new CSC, just boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Possibly but there's really little need for changing the CSC unless you absolutely want the proper OTA's. If you don't concern yourself with OTA's and just flash Odin tars anyway, then I suggest you just stay where you are. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] jonlad1:
You're not having any issues because its mainly i9505 users experiencing the shutter lag.

Going of a few posts even with the most recent firmware, its not fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcelmira:
Flashed with Chainfire Mobile Odin Pro with no issues (without wipe), keeping the Root! :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] bigle:

Now I have to press the menu button and delete the photo and then go back to the camera. :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 General] bigle:
You are right... that was a terrible idea...

the best way is to close the cam app and delete from the gallery
[Galaxy S 4 General] nuscape:
Guys, Any idea if the Wifi issues fixed in this Rom?
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcelmira:

[Galaxy S 4 General] marcochapita:
i only wipe and do factory reset Before flashing an odin version. i never done a wipe and and factory reset after flashing and always worked for me and my CSC is always change to the Csc of the rom that i had flash.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DjeMBeY:
STOP the CSC madness, PLEASE...

It's a bit complicated now....

Example for HOW TO CHANGE CSC from BTU to DBT

Manual CSC changing:

1 - copy all files from /system/csc/DBT/ and paste/replace them in /system/csc

2 - use File Explorer, go to /efs/imei , edit "mps_code.dat" and change "BTU" to "DBT"

3 - reboot into STOCK Recovery and see if it worked, if not , wipe data and check again

There's no other solution atm :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] bigle:

[Galaxy S 4 General] s4lah:
I believe the reason BTU & ITV is being kept by flashing is because the CSC package included in the firmware already includes the BTU & ITV so it thinks there no need to change.. however if you download a single CSC package and flash and wipe.. that should change it..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Magentic:
Hi everyone. With this update I've lost shortcut option in lockscreen... anyone noticed the same?
[Galaxy S 4 General] prodigyX:
Sorry for this possibly noobish question..

Why the big fuss over CSC? If you're a manual flasher then surely you shouldn't care about your CSC ever again? Just keep downloading and flashing yourself! I've changed from South African, to Indian, to Russian, Indonesian etc.. I know South Africa's OTA updates will always be behind, so I just flash whichever country has the latest firmware.

The only possible reason I can think of for the CSC obsession is that people don't want to keep downloading 1.5gb every time there's an update, and would rather wait for their official incremental OTAs.. but judging by the timing of the releases, OTAs don't seem to be too reliable unless you live in India or Russia or one of the other 'select' countries that seem to get timely updates.

Stop the CSC madness! Download it yourself and don't worry.. be happy!

Just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any issues. Wondered aswell, say when my normal region gets this update or an update with a lower changelog number can you 'downgrade' without issue or is this not worth doing?

Lastly, flashing stock means my Gurantee is still intact?

Coming from any other Firmware bar a German one, when you flash this do you do a full wipe or just flash & go?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jmldsilva:
i did a "Flash & go" and everything went well
[Galaxy S 4 General] KinetiClutch:
Flashed without a wipe too and all seems to be working perfectly.

Not sure if signal has got worse but time will tell. Thanks to all who helped and answered questions.

Is there a change log of what's included anywhere
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Samsung never releases changelogs :(

All we have is the changelist number, so always flash the highest.
[Galaxy S 4 General] KinetiClutch:
Quick question.

When you get a notification does your screen turn on to show the notification or does the sound just play and LED flashes?

Noticed after a restart got an error saying Network Provided Time and Date is not available.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ongbac:
Does this firmware appear only in Samfirmware? Because I have MEA (DBT) now and when I check in the phone if there are any new updates, it says I am on the newest software.

So this update is not OTA yet? The only way to get it is via Samfirmware or other non official sources? Kies says I have the newest software too.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] pitcher85:
Just wait a bit, they are deploying MF8 over Kies and OTA but depending on your region it will take a while.

If you don't want to wait, get it and flash it by urself :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] KinetiClutch:
Noticed that SamMobile says that the camera firmware should be upgraded. http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/06...y-s4-brings-enhancements-and-stability-fixes/

However, when i check my camera firmware it's exactly the same as it was prior to flashing on MD2. Anyone elses not update?
[Galaxy S 4 General] derWolf_:
The news is from sixth of June....
[Galaxy S 4 General] KinetiClutch:
I know but what I mean is that that update came out after the firmwhere which I upgraded from. Therefore the camera upgrade should be part of the this MF8 which i flashed but the camera did not upgrade which was my point
[Galaxy S 4 General] derWolf_:
The camera firmware update came with MEA. With MF8 there is no other update. So if you have been on MEA before you have the latest camera firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 General] KinetiClutch:
Never had MEA was on ME2. Do I need to downgrade to a MEA then upgrade from that to a MF8?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
No.
[Galaxy S 4 General] KinetiClutch:
Hmm. So what is going on weird that the camera just didn't update
[Galaxy S 4 General] JoMacEver:
Good Firmware
[Galaxy S 4 General] amviewer:
Very smooth rom.

Did an odin from EMEA no wipe.

Stripped the bloathware.

My csc is still on PHN but that doesn't matter as I always update from odin and stripped out all the firmware update software for OTA anyway.

Great stuff.

Hello!

I'm currently on the Nos M7 2.0.3 ROM with BM kernel.

I've been waiting quite a bit for my phone to start generating thumbnails for contacts (when looked from a list), but it simply is not. Could it be a permissions issue, or is there other way to fix this problem?

And if it is in fact permissions, what folder and what three digit (chmod) do I set it to?

As you can see in these screenshots, it shows the image once I click on the contact icon - but not regularly.
