[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skeetch79:
I have a favor to ask strictly for Galaxy S4 Developer Edition Device owners!!

I am looking for some testers to try out a ROM I built off of my I545OYUEMK2 image. As I said, it is based off of my system.img.ext4 dump which came from my phone on I545OYUEMK2. It is only the system partition (so no worries about boot images, etc - but includes kernels). I slimmed down the system partition by removing a bunch of bloatware, how to videos, lost+found folder and some Samsung files. I deodexed both the system and framework folders. I also ZipAligned and enabled init.d. I added the "Volume Boost Moderate" modification, but I left the original backed-up of the sound files within the "/system/etc/snd_soc_msm/" folder if at any time you wish to revert to stock or switch back and forth (the extension I gave the originals is "origStock". At the time, it only seems to flash through Safestrap v3.71 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2441441) on any slot. I tried using Philz Touch Recovery, and it flashes without errors, but I fail to get any Wifi/Cellular service and thus cannot bypass the activation screen. I haven't figured that issue out. Since the unpacked file is large, it will eat up a good deal of space. I am using the default System size setting (about 2600-2700MB), changed the Data size setting to 3500MB and left the default Cache size setting alone (about 300MB).

I would prefer testers on another build other than I545OYUEMK2 or I545OYUEMJ7 - I545OYUAMDK would be ideal. But anyone can give it a go. to me it feels snappier and less loaded down with "crap".

It contains SuperSu in the system/app directory. I also added Titanium Backup, Greenify, JRummy's Root Browser, Nova Launcher, Dash Clock and Twisted Home Manager also to the system/app directory.

If this works for you and wish to see any of the above mentioned apps restored, please let me know. I should also be able to provide each individual apk upon request.

I will upload the ROM zip file in a bit and will come back and post a link. Please let me know if there are any takers and if you install it, any feedback would be welcome. I am still unsure whether this will load properly in MDK, but if would be nice to find out. If all goes well, I can create a full (with all bloatware and files left in tact), deodexed I545OYUEMK2 ROM for you to flash. But, first things first! :)

I also have stock boot/recoveries and stock modem/radios posted in this thread for builds AMDK, EMJ7 and EMK2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2637686
