If I sound like a jerk then sorry ahead of time. This is not just to you but anyone toying with checking this out. There are many people asking questions that clearly show a lack of understanding regarding this update and what you might end up with if it goes bad. If you are currently on a custom Rom, it is beyond my imagination why you would want to go to a stock Rom that you might not be able to get back from. This forum is already piling up a few users that tried going back to mk2 and are now probably stuck with a coaster till someone releases a full release Odin install. Several very solid devs are quickly putting together something. I would be willing to bet within a week we have a couple projects to choose from.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pgriffinsc:
i odin the full mk2,then downloaded the nae update and flashed through the stock recovery.rerooted with cf autoroot (theres a newer version that chainfire uploaded a few days ago) and went to town!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant that I'd consider going back to stock TW (once it's stable and everything) from a 4.3 rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CyberpodS2:
Yea, I understand. I was not trying to hammer anyone. I wanted to make a couple points and was kinda getting frustrated as I kept reading how folks are getting stuck or even bricked (albeit temporarily). The thought that people are giving up what is probably a stable custom rom in lieu of a totally stock product that they at best might be stuck with is hard for me to understand. The speed at which the devs churn out roms is simply amazing. I know the Negalite rom is actively being developed on the KK build. There is also no less than 3 different stockers being worked. I was just trying to make the point that with a little patience a better and safer experience is sure to be had...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Yeah, I agree with you on that.

I usually wait until the second build of a stable rom before I flash it. I'm excited for some KitKat goodness though.

KITKAT is being worked on for the Triband.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jkap310:
Hey guys,

So i just manually just updated the phone (all stock, non-root), in general it seems to be running great. Just had a few questions.

1) Are there any guides to which bloatware we can disable on specifically sprints version of s4

2) I thought the email app was supposed to get an update, where it looks like gmail and you can swipe to delete emails and such.

3) Has the option to hide applications been turned off now?

Thanks for the help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TaiKing:
In fact Samsung's open source site now has L720TVPUBNAF posted. When the single band S4 had L720VPUFNAE show up on there the update release was the next day so the S4T update should be imminent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Nice find. And that's good news for the triband owners. Should have the ota by end of the week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
1. In menu>settings>application manager, it is safe to turn off any "bloatware" that has the option to turn off.

2. not sure about that one but it is the same app here as well

3. yep, that option is now gone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jkap310:
Thanks for the reply ! I was looking for more of what specific bloatware i can turn off witout causing any issues on the phone. I found one decent list on the forums but its not updated for 4.4.2 and doesn't say what each service actually does.

As for the email, I just checked my nexus 7 (1st gen ) and the email is "gmail like " even though its under the corporate account . A little unfortunate that galaxy s4 still haven't updated this app even though it is used daily by so many people .

Ya I miss my hide app feature but o well !

Overall , besides those three things the phone is really really really smooth ! Haven't been able to test battery yet, but hoping for a slight increase like most people!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
Quick Question

So I have the SPH-L720T rooted and with a custom recovery. I also tripped knox.

I have wanam xposed faking my status as official.

Am I going to have to just reinstall stock recovery and firmware?

You should not install the recovery. Its for the regular GS4 not the T model. There's an update coming for you very soon

Use your head before disrespecting other members. If there is no discription on anything being disabled. Did you think hey maybe that means it doesn't disable or affect the functions of other apps or processes. I'm sire if there was some interference the OP would post it.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

And if you are so worried about what might be disabled , why don't you go one by one and disable all the apps and see if you run into any problems. If you do you can simply restore a nandroid. This is a development site not a support site. If you cant find what you are looking for backup and experiment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] leaderbuilder:
So you could then, go to the script, look at WHAT is removed/disabled, search the threads (and Google) and find out what is affected then? Awesome glad you know all that.

Oh and as for contributing I did give you an answer. I just didn't hand it up on silver platter sport. Sorry for not giving you exactly what you requested, my bad. I forgot that we here on XDA are here to service your requests that have pretty much been answered over and over.

Hope you find what you need.

Not to mention the release has been out for just a few days and most seem to be having troubles getting it installed. I'm pretty sure nobody has compiled a bloat list for 4.4.2 anyway. You have nothing to apologize for...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doggiedog:
I've had KitKat installed a few days now. Is anyone experiencing a lot of choppiness? My phone is bone stock and running just Good corporate email. All of my swipes and web browsing is very choppy for me. It wasn't like this before.

Edit: I also noticed swiping has a slight lag before the screen moves.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xfullmetal17:
I've noticed after a new update, for the first hour or so (this *is* going from CM11 > CM11 though, so YMMV) there is a slight bit of choppiness as the cache is rebuilt. Assuming the OTA works the way I think, part of the install process includes clearing cache and dalvik, same as if you're flashing a ROM update. This is also why the first boot after an update takes longer. If the ugly yellow Sprint screen wasn't there, it would probably have the "Android is Upgrading" message and "app x of xx" showing where it is. Probably what's happening here, although a few days seems like a bit of a long time.

A few days seems like a bit long though, maybe some of your apps haven't been updated yet to fix compatibility issues with KitKat?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jkap310:
I asked three questions in my post. Getting a response to go search google for one of my answers is not constructive. I never asked anyone to bend over and start working on this right away, but an answer saying no such list exist or just saying this is the closest thing we have to such a list is all I needed.

As for disrespecting others... sarcasm was followed by sarcasm.

Edit: After running 4.4.2 for a day, it seems to be a lot smoother and the battery life has increased pretty dramatically for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] arys64:

Still waiting here in NoVA. But it is not based on our locations, but rather our serial numbers. I last did the update via Kies after waiting almost 2 weeks. Yes, I could have sideloaded it, but seems like the last few times I did that pushed me to the bottom of the barrel in getting the OTA, as I used to get it within 2-3 days with the others, including my S3. If not here by weekend, I will likely sideload it.

Are you completely stock 4.3? If not and you have custom recovery, rom etc, it will never update to 4.4.2.

Is anyone else having issues backing up /system to their external SD card after the update? I tried with Philz and TWRP, both give an error. TWRP's was that it couldn't tar the split files. Philz had an error halfway through about backing up the SElinux policy.

I see TWRP says that it's SELinux enforcing, so could there be something in the SELinux policy that's causing this to fail? Is anyone else having the same issue?

EDIT: Reflashed Philz again after deleting a few old backups (still had 20GB free though) and it worked. Weird. Wonder if it's an issue with my sdcard.

Put your phone in download mode and see if Knox is tripped. If it is, there's nothing you can do as something must have tripped it before. If it isn't, you are fine. Despite it saying custom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Stealyourface:
As far as I know once Knox is tripped, it's tripped. You are stuck with custom status and voided warranty. But I can assure you, sideloading the update didn't do it. I did it and my Knox was still untripped.
