    Samsung has just released Galaxy S4's kernel source. The Galaxy S4 is not even on the market, yet, but soon will be released in various countries and as always Samsung has released the device's kernel source before the device itself. The good this is that as soon as some developers get their hands on the Galaxy S4, they will easily be able to improve their custom ROMs and develop custom kernels for the device. The release of the kernel source also indicates that we will receive first Galaxy S4's firmwares very soon.

    You can download the kernel source from Samsung’s Open Source Release Center using the following link:
    Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500) kernel source
    Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) kernel source
