Ever since Beans stopped updating his awesome rom I have been looking for a replacement. It seems that there are issues with just about every rom out there. G_p_s, camera not working, or some other deficiency that keeps the rom from being complete.

My question is this:

Is there a way just use the original, Verizon. 442. Update and maintain root? (and keep from having bootloader locked). I don't need all the extra add ons and debloat at the cost of losing my GPS... stock look is fine for now until the other things are sorted.

Thanks for any advice you can offer

I've used the official rooted stock 4.4.2 ROM mentioned above (via lacoursiere18), and didn't have any issues with anything (GPS, camera, etc all worked fine).

Have you tried that ROM yet?
