Cheers Shotty old thing!
Just woken up from my extended afternoon nap to see that you've given it a go. Left my computer downloading Echoe v14, NA5. However, since you have taken on the mantle of chieflemmingkamikazecannon foddertest pilot, from Syd and sntaylor, I shall take heed of your report and stay on the Echoe GE, v2.2, ROM which has, since flashing the latest ktoonsez kernel, been behaving itself very well.
This now means that you've saved me lots of time and trouble... so, pub!
Not a problem. Enjoy and good luck finding that badgers arse

Works fine on the ge kit Kat rom.
On the tw rom, all is explained by the wonderful ironass in one of his trade mark guides here http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6383769. If you are on old boatloader, you MAY still get Wi-Fi working using anthrax kernel. Many have said this works, several have reported issues. personally have not tried it. The links on xda have been removed, so if you want to give it a go, pm me....

Best setup for v14 on old bootloader:
1. Newest version of Alien Kernel (downloading from playstore seems to be working... only root explorer did not, but all the other ones- and paid apps i tried installed successfully): https://mega.co.nz/#!upoTCKqS!ZkQnGBwvP-qUgXySjGZooVrbaM8fAcY9g0crcIQ_L2U
2. In case with just the kernel, wifi takes forever, flash 4.4.2. GE WIFI FILES: https://mega.co.nz/#!rshVmTRK!KR8AHXU7VKjtHHR0ZW0viVLg_scAJixoqeNLywfz4KU
3. And finally, for the Settings/ Security FC you inevitably get b/c of old bootloader flash my modded settings who seemed to have fixed that : https://mega.co.nz/#!GwpwWRoJ!WaZhIXSJoYvO4a_IqbGpBnhCavcG8CYqxwrsYsTSGR8

Also on old bootloader
As you said, flash the rom then flash the kernel
see Friedrichs post (on this page ) and flash the other files
Only problem im having is wifi doesnt remember password after rebooting the phone.
In truth 4.4.2 has nothing more than 4.3 in fact i would say 4.3 is a lot better for smoothness, speed battery life etc.
now after trying this rom im going back to my GE 4.4.2 backup

I'm with you on Echoe GE 4.4.2 iT0mm0! :thumb:
Been on it for awhile now and after getting used to the GE interface it is proving to be a stable, reliable, way of enjoying KitKat. With GravityBox and A Better Camera to enhance it. I especially like the latest version of the ktoosez kernel which is now giving me my old 4.3 battery life... particularly useful with the storms and power cuts I am getting at the moment!

Finally got round to replacing my Kox'd up stock rom (I9505XXUEMKF) with this one, but I'm getting an error while flashing:
I did a full wipe (the one in Philz) and then started flashing. Tried searching for the error, but haven't found anyone with the same problem. Any suggestions?

Correctemundo Syd!
Thank goodness you posted mate. Its been very quiet on here. I thought that I'd woken up in a post apocalyptic world and I was the only survivor. :afraid:
