Its up to you. I personally LOVE the NB4 modem. Gives me a MUCH better signal and much faster speeds. Downloads are now 4-5 MBPS on LTE when they used to be around 1. Plus i used to get only 1 to no bars in my bedroom. Now i get 2 sometimes 3 bars reliable signal

Where exactly did you find and download the leaked 4.3 TMO rom?
Was it an ODIN flashable TAR file or a cwm/twrp custom recovery zip file rom?
Either way most likely it's never going to have wifi unless you are a developer.
In order to get the wifi working with some leaked rom you flashed it will take a
lot more than just copying some files into your phone.
I just wonder if your rom came from the "Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G " forum?
In any case good luck with it!

Its working fine for me if you set the flashable zip file up correctly and are using a proper kernel. The only issue i am having with my 4.3 ROM is the stupid network loosing signal on sleep. I'm 99.9 percent convinced this is due to not having the upgraded radio.

how is your WIFI working and mine isnt?
I told you before. You have to use talexop or faux kernel for wifi to work. If you want to switch kernels then flash echoe rom wifi fix.

Modem modem ...?

Do I need to odin any new modem for KitKat (as I did with MK2 modem for 4.3) or I'll get it when I'll flash any KK ?
Roms don't include modems. You will have to Odin the radio. That's user choice on if you want to upgrade

For me, updating my modem has increased both signal reception and data speeds. You can always go back if you see a drop in performance.

Confusion about modems + custom recoveries
Hi,
I have an i337m from Puerta Rico that I'm running on USA T-mobile. The radios are the initial release and I'd like to update them. I'm running Wicked V10. I've successfully (I think) done the AWS hack to get the GSM HSPA+ bands.
a) Do/Can I flash T-mobile S4 radios?
b) A little confused about flashing radios on a custom recovery. I tried flashing the MK2 radios but it obviously checked the boot loader when it failed.
Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't flash a modem made for a different device, even if they are similar.
It might be that it i sokay, but you need to research the hell out of it first and make absolute sure.
Don't just take a chance and see what happens.

I am not sure about all I9505's Roms but GOLDENYEY ver 25 is working perfect with my m919. My modem is still MK2 and my kernel is GOLDENYEY default Rom (talexop_Kernel_i9505_v2.1) but you can change it to Ktoonsez JB4.4-TW if you will get any problems.

OK,Thanks for your answer.
Two additional kernel to GOLDENEYE rom
There are 2 more kernel (in addition to KT) that work perfect with GOLDENEYE on m919. The wanam (Adam) kernel :

Funny, I remember I got flamed for mention this Awsome Rom in db Thread once and seems evreybody are moving to it...welcome guys and lets bring the best of our S4.
Glad to see other people are enjoying this awesome ROM.
As I prefer the stock TW with no bloatwares this ROM is my ultimate choice. Extremely good on battery. Easy > 4h of screen time over the course of 2 days. No hiccup, no trade off. Very smooth and runs with minimum RAM (~35% most of the time on mine)
The few problems I've found are either belong to kitkat itself or cosmetic ones.
1. VPN still doesn't work. It gets connected but no data package transferred.
2. Lock screen music widget sucks. No longer able to pick song from the list or change shuffle / repeat.
3. The built-in Adam KN hasn't fixed the power off charging. The latest talexop KN v.25 did fix this problem.
4. Under Settings / Storage it shows 9.7gbs, which is the actual storage left on our phone.
5. In About device it shows I9505, not our M919. This reflects on Google Play and all other google services.
Overall I'm very happy with this ROM. Highly recommended for anyone prefer stock TW look. Just wish someone will step up and fix the VPN issue soon. Seems like it plagues most devices running kitkat.
Going to give this ROM a try. Hopeful I get the results you guys are getting.
This is, by far, the most stable, fastest ROM that I have tried. And I am a flash-a-holic!
I installed ktoonsez kernel and left the settings alone to get LTE.
I am using this with Straight Talk (ATT Sim). I have not seen LTE icon in last 2 days. Is there something I should be doing?
- I already applied LTE Fix - It was on first post of ROM
- I have double checked my APN and it is same as what I had with Stock ROM and I got LTE signal fine.
Is it just the display thing? I know old CM ROMS used to display LTE as 4G and 4G as H+
Please let me know.

4G is LTE in the international ROMs.. It will show 3G/H+ for UMTS/HSDPA
Edit: if you want to change the icons I posted a way to do it in the original thread

Assuming you have the official 4.4 update (bootloader, KNOX, etc) you can't downgrade your modem. Being as NB4 is the most recent modem available, you cannot change it until a newer firmware is released.

Getting Poor Reception

I flashed the Vision-X ROM to my phone to get 4.4 and everything works great except I'm getting poor reception.
When I drive to and from work I get choppy streaming audio where as before I didn't have any issues.
Is there a radio or a kernel I can try that will be better for me?
Is there a more up-to-date TouchWiz ROM that's 4.4 that I can use?

I figured out that I'm getting throttled at the carrier-level and that there's nothing I can do.
