Here are my Xposed Modules

--APM+ (I like that you can use the screen record function)
--Downloads2SD
--Fix Lollipop Memory Leak (not sure if I still need this with OK3)
--Greenify with donation features
--Wanam Xposed
--YouTube AdAway
I don't use APM+ because (in the past) I have found that it collides with Wanam in odd ways. Obviously, you have not had that problem, so I might give it another go (I will deactivate the power button changes I've implemented via Wanam first).

The other Xposed modules that I've added to my SPH-L720 since my original post are:

Downloads2SD
BootManager (very worthwhile app)
Just Weather (does a nice job of knocking all of the ads out of Yahoo Weather)
No Device Check
1++ (seems like a quality calculator app, so I'm trying it out)
ReceiverStop (sister app to BootManager)
Root Cloak (hiding root so I can use my DirecTV GenieGo)​

Still purring along with no issues. Thanks again!

SPH-L720T

Hello and good day!

I flashed this rom on my SPH-L720T, however i need to flash the OK3 modem to recover my signal and wifi, i am already downloading the OK3 rom from sammobile, but the download speed is VERY LOW (around 15 hours remaining) and if i lose the internet connection (which happens sometimes) i will have to start all over and that leaves me basically without a phone.

Does someone is able to share the OK3 modem file for the SPH-L720T?

That would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Yes. I needed the modem. Everything works great - including Xposed. Thanks!!!

For those who need it, I provide a summary of the steps I took that resulted in success.

Base OK3 Install

1) Installed the OK3 ROM (SPH-L720_OK3_Stock_Deodexed.zip) using TWRP, following the 7 steps listed in katodragon's original post (including reboot).
- The phone took ~15 minutes on the Samsung splash screen (black background with pseudo fireworks coming out of the logo) to set up. Patience is required.
- No wifi. The ROM could not turn on the radio. The slider would hang halfway to on. If I backed out and went back to the setting, it was clearly "off."​

2) Installed the OK3 Kernel (SPH-L720_Stock-Deodexed-kernel.zip) using TWRP.
- I did perform another factory reset with TWRP just before installing the zip using TWRP, then rebooted. I did not wipe the system partition, though.
- Still no wifi. Same deal.
- I'm not sure if the kernel is necessary. But, everything is working well for me WITH the kernel. Enough said.​

3) Installed the OK3 Modem (OK3_Modem.tar.md5) using ODIN.
- Followed the usual process: phone in download mode, selected "AP" in ODIN, et cetera.
- Success! Everything - including wifi - has worked well since.
- Performed a NANDROID Backup using TWRP at this point, but I have not had to restore from it.
I followed these exact steps and my Wifi button still doesn't work. Using TWRP 2.8.7, ODIN 3.10.6, and used all the links OP provided. Can anyone help me out? Was previously using CWM for recovery and SlimKat.

EDIT: Just saw that I'm somehow still on MK2 baseband.

Before you flash modem power phone completely down. (Pull battery if you want).

Now boot into download mode and flash modem with odin.

Be sure you know what you're doing before using this ROM on a "T" (tri-band) model! Everything I've seen indicates that SPH-L720 (jfltespr) ROMs don't work on SPH-L720T (jflterefreshspr) phones. The official Samsung/Sprint releases all have different serial numbers. But, I have zero direct experience with the S4 tri-band. So, this is just a friendly reminder to be sure about what you're doing and very careful...

The SPH-720T thread (or one of them) can be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621862

To address your specific request, I put my copy of the modem file on a Dropbox public share. It will be there for about a week. Hopefully, this will perform better for you.

Is it possible to remove the S Finder and Quick Connect tab when you swipe down? I don't want to download xposed because I have a game that prevents me from playing the game.
I wanted to tinker with SystemUI but I have no idea where to change......

SystemUI/res/values/dimens.... change the SFinder Panel (name is something like this) to 0.0dip.
