[4.3/4.4 Direct Access] Please head over to rwilco12.com for latest builds.
GApps: You can find them here among other locations.
Flash Instructions:
1) Back up your current system and all data if desired.
2) In your favorite custom recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik.
If you want to flash the ZIP version you'll need to format system as well.
3) TAR - Boot to Odin Mode and flash via Odin.
ZIP - Flash ZIP in recovery
4) Flash GApps
For testing 4.4 a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) is required to flash. You can try without but I'm neither recommending nor supporting it.

I really need someone to verify the build functionality so I feel comfortable enough submitting the device specifics to PA and have it added to their repos. The build has a few issues but we're a lot better off now than we were even with 4.2.2 builds!
And as long as this goes I'll be replicating the process for the other relatives - USCC, Cricket and C-Spire.

Flashing here in a few. Will give this thing a shakedown

Flashed it at around 2.30 this morning so not too much time with it lol. Everything seems pretty solid. The only thing I noticed so far is that when I have my home screen set up and HALO is enabled, swiping between the home screens are jittery. 4.2.2 was pretty smooth in that regard.

Everything is working pretty good here....cannot get picture messaging to work and when you are in the settings to change your notification tiles....once you hit the back button to back out and error message that settings has stopped pops up...other then that running great so far

I'm gonna switch to twrp sometime today and try to flash this again. So far have not been able to get any 4.3 aosp rom to boot. Been using philztouch and wiping everything except for storage.

That recovery won't work for 4.3 roms, has to be updated.. I use twrp 2.5.0.2 or Clockworkmods latest. Both work great.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Flashing cwm fixed all my issues with 4.3 roms. PA seems to run great!

No 3G on 4.3
Hi there! First of all I want to thank you garwynn for all your hard work in the community, it will always be appreciated.
Here is the story, I'm a Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 user. I have it activated on a CDMA network outside the USA. I have 3G with no problems until...
I flashed:
pa_jfltespr-3.96-20130814.zip
pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130815-signed.zip
No 3G :'(
then I flashed:
pa_jfltespr-3.93-20130806.zip
pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130815-signed.zip
Still, no 3G :'(
I flashed back to:
pa_jfltespr-3.69-20130802.zip
Yeeey! 3G works great.
Then I thought maybe there is something wrong with the build. So I flashed another 4.3 ROM and still no 3G.
My conclusion is that 3G is not working with Android 4.3 for some reason. I tried changing the network type but no success.
Any suggestions?

I would try a different recovery 2.6 is a little buggy... I would go with twrp 2.5.0.2 or cwm 6.0.3.6

Hi there, me again. I tried as you suggested but still no 3G on 4.3 :'(
I believe it has to do something with the apns or something, again, I tried changing the network type and still no 3G.
I'm going back to a 4.2 custom ROM until I figure out what's up. Thanks and any other suggestion is welcome.
