I was looking for the same solution, and I think it is possible, a closer look at the USB port from various spare parts suppliers, I was in doubt if mine would look the same as the one displayed here, after disassembling my phone, it turned out to be this one: http://bit.ly/1GR4SzP

And it is possible, when messuring connection points, it turns out CN2 on the bord is the +, and - you can fit onto the side of the USB connector itself.

I have created a Guide describing the addition of wireless charging, it is in no way affecting the phones stability.

Works great with the S4 mini I9195 LTE version, but mind the different spare part (as linked above: http://bit.ly/1GR4SzP).
