CyanogenMod will not support the Galaxy S 4

Nobody at Team Hacksung (the team behind Galaxy S2, Note, S3, Note2, G Tabs… official CM ports) plans to buy it, neither develop for it. There are two variants which will be a pain to maintain, [and] the bugs we have on the S3 will probably be there on S4, too (camera), and we all know Samsung ability to release sources while staying in line with mainline. Yes Qualcomm releases sources, but Exynos sources we had were far from [working on] actual Galaxy products. I’m pretty sure the same will happen for this one.​

That’s a uniform “no” from us.​

Here is an update to the earlier news bit, saying there is no decision yet either way.

I'm been developing with android for awhile now. I don't think it will be that big of a deal with the dev community. While, most devs build AOSP roms using CM I don' t think people will miss it. Excellent roms can be made using TW.

Edit: After reading update

It did seem strange to drop support for a product that hasn't even seen retail light.

The focus is on Exynos SoC, not the S4 itself, they way Samsung share stuff, hence the issue.

Yeah, I got that much from the article. I was just speaking in terms if they did drop support for the S4.
