[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prsnow:
This is the stock 4.4.2 NK1 Verizon ROM originally found here, but has been de-bloated and includes some improvements I made to the stock apps and settings. Inspired by the old CleanROM series, I wanted to keep the stability and look of the stock ROM but with most of the needless bloatware taken out.

Tested for MDK bootloader only, but it has been reported to work with Safestrap.

Thanks [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] for posting the original Verizon Stock ROM.
