Cant wait to flash this!

Where are the gapps? Can we just install from goo manager, or use the google gs4 gapps?
P.s., thank you for your work!

You need to use 4.3 gapps. I built my own from PA gapps.

*Books, Maps, and Play Services all need updated in first boot. But if you can't find 4.3 gapps then these should work for you.
**Also mine doesn't check to see if you're on the approved list for photosphere. It just installs it.

Well using goo manager it'd find them for my phone so that'd be 4.2 gapps correct?
I went to broodplanks github and couldn't find the 4.3 gapps. I just downloaded yours are they super modified or jusr for photosphere? I'd highly appreciate if someone could link me to the s4 international bone stock 4.3 gapps.
Thanks again for your port.

Yeah you need ANY 4.3 gapps. Not 4.2. It doesn't matter where you get them, or how you get them, just that you get them. All Gapps packages that aren't said to be themed, modded, or toggle enabled are the same as the next. The difference is in how up to date the gapps are, and what all they include.
Minimal gapps will only include calendar, clock, contacts, gmail, hangouts, and the Google framework. Full gapps will have almost everything Google makes.
Oh and gapps aren't device specific. Mine aren't modded that I know of. Play store might be spoofed so you can run any DPI but I'm not sure of that. I just know paranoid builds off of crazy ui and DPI control so it would make sense

Dubbsy, you have single handedly doubled my enjoyment of this device, thank you so much for putting the time in to get all the goods out to us! Can't wait to give 4.3 my first try!

Someone post to how it's running, curious to see before I flash.

Running like a champ! Gonna flash ktoonz kernel right now and see how much speed I can get. The only thing not working is Bluetooth as posted above. Everything else is pure butter.

Good to hear, will flash and try elite kernel to start.

---

But of course there is another bug lol. When taking a HDR photo with the camera it is all grayed out. When installing a new kernel the GPU overlays get all messed up and I disabled them, which fixed the problem.

It could be the photosphere I decided to use. I had a choice of 6 different sizes photospheres. Unless you didn't use my gapps.
But my gapps grays out on HDR too

My HDR doesn't work as well. Using your gapps.
Also (maybe a 4.3 specific problem and NOT a bug) but I can't switch superuser apps.
Works flawlessly. Hopefully you continue to build upon it and add some mods and tweaks. This rom is great!!!

Cyanogen also does this. Using the HDR gives you the gray pic.

It's not a bug. Rooting in and of itself is a pita on 4.3. Changing superuser apps isn't going to be as easy as uninstall and install new.

Yep...pita now. I keep a copy of a chainfire supersu zip on my grouper n7 just in case it flakes. Will be trying this when I get back from my business trip next week.

This is rooted with chainfire's latest supersu upon installation. In case anyone I'd reading and wondering if it's rooted or not.
