I just picked up a s4 today and I don't think Sprint has received this update yet. Or maybe they have received it but haven't released it.

Nothing here.

Nothing here yet... I hear it fixes gallery lag, animation stutter, and sharpens the camera quality...

According to XDA, it also puts a check in the kernel that disables root. So if you're rooted, you'll need a custom kernel with this flag turned off.

At least that's what I'm understanding.

I just installed the update. Will let you know what I find here momentarily....

So for those that don't want to wait for the OTA update... go over to XDA and there is a thread where someone grabbed the zip file from their phone that got the OTA. Download that file, then rename to update.zip (it is originally named 321a2cb29b9c.update_SPH-L720_MDC_CSB_user_RP_to_MDL_CSB_user_RP.zip) and put it in the root directory of your SD card (you have to have an SD card installed)

Then boot into recovery. When the phone is powered off, hold down vol+, home, and power and keep holding them down. The phone boots up and you'll see the galaxy s4 logo and in small text at the top it says booting into recovery. Then let go of the power button but keep holding down vol+ and home until you get to a recovery menu. Use the vol keys to scroll through the options and the power button to chose an option. You should see an option for update via SD card and then chose the update.zip file.

It'll go through the process of updating and then reboot. That's it, you should then have the software update on your phone. At least it worked for me.

This update got rid of my red hue on black backgrounds.

However, it added the purple blur issue

It also made it a lot smoother. I don't have to mess with my developer animation settings anymore

I just got mine by doing the framework thing...

For people on stock. I mentioned root of the SD card, just meaning the top level directory.
