Dont wanna get knoxed up, use protection (couldn't resist lol) just to contribute to answering questions:

1. The vast majority of the bulk (after having it installed) can be uninstalled. I went ahead an installed epic launcher (cant tell you how much more I can tolerate TW with a different launcher, transparent navbar and the ability to hide apps from the launcher). in my case, I just long pressed apps in the app drawer, and drug it to the "uninstall" option in the launcher.
1a. Obviously you can't install Sprint apps w/o root unistaller

2. Before someone asks, ART isn't in it. crapwiz (based on what I have read in articles) is incompatible holistically with ART (how the hell do you build on the latest version and not incorporate your features AROUND some of its greatest additions?). Whether or not someone cracks the code to allow it to show up is left to be seen.

3. This is Touchwiz 4.3, top to bottom aesthetically, with 4.4's features, so for those unsure, don't look for the UI that was in those leaked images (which I would have hoped for as well).

4. There does seem to be less lag with 4.4

5. Unknownforce is awesome for this before someone asks

Hope this helps. I have the the rom up and running. If you have a question, I'd love to contribute and answer if I can!

I'm up and running, but unable to get wifi working, so far. It just won't turn on. I am on the latest firmware. My bootloader is not knox, I don't even remember which one it is. I think it's MF9. I reflashed the firmware a couple times, and I'm sure that it stuck correctly. Everything is listed as NAE. Not sure what the problem is, but I'm thinking I'm just going to Odin MK2 and go from there, unless anyone else has some suggestions for me. Thanks a lot for the work Unknown

Same deal here.

Odin'd the modem again to see if that helped, but it didn't.

Currently restoring a nandroid to see if it comes back.

On a positive note, my deodexed/deknoxed version flashes and boot fine, except for no mobile data (wifi is fine).

FTR (for the record), I am:

1. Coming from an OmniROM 4.4 build
2. On MK2 Bootloader
3. On the NAE Firmware
4. On Philz recovery

If you are dealing with issues, flash it, boot it, then reboot back into recovery, do a "wipe to install new ROM" instead of factory reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and then flash. Seems tedious, but... well I was going to say its worth it but it's touchwiz so nevermind... its cool to be able to say you are on 4.4 and others are on 4.3 lol. Hell my GF is on 4.2 and refuses to update just because she has a fear of losing her text messages, even AFTER i told her I could back it up, smh.

Ok, restored my nandroid of NAE from yesterday (used the update from MK2 to get NAE) and mobile data is fine.
@Unknownforce, any ideas?

Been there, done that, nogo... Tried just factory reset also...

Will the S4 will ever get that camera all around panorama thing that the note 3 has? I thought that was going to be part of kitkat. I know there are zips floating around but I could never get it to work always crashes.

I started with the following setup: Stock rooted MK2, stock MK2 kernel, MK2 baseband, and MF9 Knox-free bootloader.

Flashed the NAE ROM just fine using the latest Philz recovery~! The phone booted up just fine, thank you, Unknownforce~!

Upon boot, however, I had no Sprint cell service. No Wifi, no data.

So I shut the phone down, booted into Download mode, and flashed the NAE modem using Odin v3.07.

The flash didn't stick. Inside Settings, it still said Software version is Unknown and Baseband version Unknown.

Flashed again but same thing.

And here is the weird thing. After two failed NAE modem flashes and the Settings still saying Unknown for the Software version and Baseband version, my Wifi started to work all of a sudden after just a restart of the phone. I logged onto my home Wifi, signed into Google, and I was able to download and update my apps.

But I still have no Sprint service. I wonder why the NAE modem flash isn't working this time. It worked multiple times just fine before when I was still on the MK2 setup.

I'm gonna nandroid back to MK2 and MK2 baseband then try ordering things differently.

 

[fgr]

As I said before, flashing this rom left me with no mobile data.

Restored my nandroid of NAE that I achieved by upgrading from MK2 (knox bootloader) and mobile data is fine.

Using adb, I deleted everything in /system/framework, /system/app, and /system/priv-app.

I then pushed all of the files that I had deodexed from UnknownForces rom back to the appropriate folders and everything booted fine and I have mobile data.

So I know the data problem isn't within any of those files.

Just thought this was interesting, but don't know if it's of any use in solving the data problem.

On a side note, services.jar has been changed a little as far as the wifi hotspot goes. The old mod will not work. This is my main reason for deodexing. I'm going to look into it more later.

Dont wanna get knoxed up, use protection (couldn't resist lol) just to contribute to answering questions:

1. The vast majority of the bulk (after having it installed) can be uninstalled. I went ahead an installed epic launcher (cant tell you how much more I can tolerate TW with a different launcher, transparent navbar and the ability to hide apps from the launcher). in my case, I just long pressed apps in the app drawer, and drug it to the "uninstall" option in the launcher.
1a. Obviously you can't install Sprint apps w/o root unistaller

2. Before someone asks, ART isn't in it. crapwiz (based on what I have read in articles) is incompatible holistically with ART (how the hell do you build on the latest version and not incorporate your features AROUND some of its greatest additions?). Whether or not someone cracks the code to allow it to show up is left to be seen.

3. This is Touchwiz 4.3, top to bottom aesthetically, with 4.4's features, so for those unsure, don't look for the UI that was in those leaked images (which I would have hoped for as well).

I pushed the missing ART files into system and was able to get the ART runtime option to appear in the Developer Menu but the phone never rebooted past the pulsating Samsung logo. Yes, it appears that touchwiz is incompatible with ART.

After restoring my MK2 nandroid and flashing back to the MK2 modem, I tried flashing this NAE ROM again. I did the steps differently this time though.

So from stock rooted MK2 (with stock MK2 kernel, MK2 modem/baseband, & MF9 bootloader), I first booted into Download Mode and flashed the NAE modem/baseband with Odin 3.07. I confirmed that the flash was successful by rebooting the phone and looking inside Settings. I had Sprint cell service and 4G LTE but no Wifi.

Then I booted into Philz, wiped the phone twice for a custom ROM install, then flashed the NAE ROM.

Phone booted up fine but I ended up with no Sprint cell & LTE service. Also no Wifi.

Looking inside Settings, the NAE modem/baseband disappeared. Now it just says Unknown for Software version & Baseband version.

So it seems that by flashing the NAE ROM, the previously successful flash of the NAE baseband (from within the MK2 environment) becomes lost/disappears.

What I wonder is, is this because the NAE ROM is checking the Bootloader version and after it sees the MF9 bootloader, it deactivates the baseband and Sprint service?
@Unknownforce Any ideas/suggestions for what I should try next?

For comparison, I figured I should report that I am not having any of the issues you all are experiencing with connectivity. My bootloader was updated with the NAE ota, so your suspicions about the older bootloaders causing the problems might be correct.

The order in which I installed this was as such: flash philz > wiped everything > reboot to download mode > flash NAE modem > pulled battery and booted to recovery > factory wipe > installed rom > reboot
