[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Highway 55:
Disclaimer:

Flash at your own risk! I am not responsible for turning your phone into a paper weight.

First I would like to point out that I am not a developer. I am merely an Android enthusiast that likes to make ROMs the way that I like them.

This ROM started out life as Stock Rooted Deodexed MF9. I deleted a bunch of apps from /system/app, and added some mods, that were made by real devs, that i consider a necessity. I will probably de-bloat a little bit more after some more research, and may even add a few more mods. This will probably stay with the stock theme. I have been running a test version of this for a week. It is every bit as stable as Stock Rooted.

Kernel Info:

With versions 1.3 and beyond you will no longer need to flash a kernel, unless you really want to. I have gotten permission from agat63 to include his. For version 1.0 - 1.2 you will still need to flash either the stock kernel, or on of the custom TW ones.

As stated earlier I am not a Developer. I take no credit for anything in this ROM. with that said...

List of files removed, and a link to download them in post #3

Additional Info:

I have left out Visual Voicemail because I do not use it, I use Google Voice (Google Voice will not set up correctly with VVM installed). If you want VVM back just download the .zip from post #3. Extract, and place SprintAndroidExtension.apk and VVM.apk in /system/app. Then set permissions to rw-r-r on both files, and reboot. Should have working VVM after that.
