why stock firmware n' custom rom(base on stock) it too big,more than 1gb huhu
Because it contains recovery and kernel and modem and bootloader as well. It has a cache and a lot of bloat. So you know. It is uncompressed too I think.

Ok so this might be a long question but here it is
Say if i'm on EL29 rooted and want to go to FI27 or GB27 rooted, can I just Odin the root file of the FI27 or GB27 or do I have to go to stock version FI27/GB27 and THEN root the device?
Since you are already rooted, you can flash the rooted version of another rom. If you're flashing jb, make sure you use a jb modem.

Hey everyone!
Just picked up a shiny new T-Mobile S4. It has 4.2.2 on it right now, and is asking me to update. Should I root and not update, or update then root?
I plan to use the stock rom, but I want the following features:
1) Ability to turn encryption on and off (Pretty sure Samsung devices allow this)
2) Skvalex's Call Recorder
3) Google Wallet
4) Clockwork or TWRP recovery
5) Root (duh)
What's your opinion/thoughts/fatherly advice/etc...
Thanks
Edit: Either way I don't know that much about Knox, but I hear it's annoying and can interfere with su and root apps. I'd love to either keep it off my phone, or keep it disabled.
Don't take the OTA update.
You can use CF Autoroot to root, install a custom recovery and flash any 4.3 base ROM such as dbombROM or Wicked.
You'll also need to update the modem to the mk2 modem.
This way you can stay on the mdl Knox free bootloader. Anytime you want to go back to totally stock you can Odin the stock Rom plus you're still able to reset the flash counter.

1. Root
2. Install recovery
3. Make backup
4. Download and flash stock 4.3 ROM via custom recovery... Check thread titles and/or the first post of a thread of whichever ROM in the Android Development section. There are mostly stock (CIQ free, KNOX free, deodex, etc) there which are listed in the thread title.
5. Download and flash MK2 modem
6. Enjoy

If you want to use the stock ROM you can flash jovy's stock 4.3 ROM

I think jovy's and omnifarious's are both totally stock 4.3 ROM. Wicked, Infamous and dbombRom are base on stock 4.3 Rom with additional mods built in.

So I decided to flash Wicked but now I keep losing signal. I also can't seem to find this MK2 modem.
This Is where I got the modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

Any idea how to get the encryption working in Wicked ROM?
Thanks
Does anyone have the link for a stock rooted 4.3 rom I can flash through twrp I lost some of the files and a restore isn't correcting the issue

This is the most stock TW MK4 ROM that I've ever been able to find. Look through the OP and see if this will work for you. I've had zero issues with his ROMS.
