It won't boot, sadly. Running the ND8 boot loader, is it not compatible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
It should boot. I didn't have any issues when I flashed. I wiped cache, dalvik, data, & system 3x each before I flashed and that worked well for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] succumbtothegreater:
Yeah I'll probably try that later today, hopefully I can get it to boot.

Good Luck.

Ok installed app. Bad news, appears to be fine on my phone. Good news (maybe), in the screen shot below you will see a grey bar across the bottom of the screen. This is caused when my ad-blocker blocks ads. Are you running stock SK or have you installed a mod that may have ad blocking capabilities built in. Crossbreeder and mods that use it come to mind as I have had issues with the ad-blocking functions not working properly or not playing nice with the ad-blocker I use.

[MENTION=5311118]succumbtothegreater[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4934014]JCJ77[/MENTION] if I may chime in with a few things:

Succunb, you should have no problem with the ND8 boot loader. I'm on it and actually came back to SK after Odining to try the TW KitKat. Just follow JCJ77's wiping advice and double check your downloads. Make sure you're checking a sha1 hash and not an md5 (done it once or twice myself :))

JCJ77, if you're only getting ~10 hrs of battery life. there may be an app or process sucking your battery. I get a day easy, with moderate use and have, on occasion, played 4+ non-stop hrs of online poker with only 80-90% battery loss. According to Better Battery Stats when I was on TW KK I would loose about 2.5-3% an hour just sitting over night and SK give me a battery loss of 0.5% under same conditions (both "stock" and same general set up).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
Thanks, Mojo. I will DL Better Battery Stats and see what it says about my device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalblaster:
Im getting a black screen after installing the rom. It doesnt boot up but it just goes to black. Im not sure what is going on here, im supposed to use the D2LTE right? Its a merged file, there isnt a D2SPR for this build right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
Correct. It's a unified ROM. What did you wipe and how many times prior to flashing? It shouldn't take too long to boot up. The first boot will probably be the longest compared to subsequent boot ups.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Make sure the for downloaded properly and also make sure you're using the latest version of your recovery.

LOVE this ROM but battery life is bad

I really like how fast the KITKAT Roms are, but the battery life really shucks. My phone is set to go into airplane mode at 11pm and wake up at 7am. It'll go into airplane mode at ~80% and by morning, it'll be at ~30%. Stock battery usage app shows that OS is the biggest culprit for battery drain but I will try the suggested Better Battery Stats app to see if it isolates something specific. I am open to suggestions. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jacknmary:
My battery life is awesome compared to rooted stock KK... i guess its a YMMV thing. did you flash dirty or do a full wipe first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
Wow, that's quite a drain for airplane mode. I've never had anything like that over night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nostrings:
I have something like that myself, though there are no issues reported by BBS that I can pick out. I suspect it's a hardware thing. :(

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

I get about the same battery life with Slim+leankernel, as with a stock TW 4.4.2 based ROM.

Definitely give BBS a try first - sometimes there's something that can keep your device from going into deep sleep. If that's the case, more often than not, you can fix it. Or, as is the case with me, it could be a hardware issue, in which case, you are SOL.

Off topic: What scheduler do you use to put your device in Airplane mode automatically?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] christian.a:
Been busy this weekend and switched back to People's Rom. Going to flash SlimKat later to keep testing.

I use AutomateIt to put device in Airplane Mode.

Slimkat Weekly Release 5.4 is out.

Release Highlights -

Cosmetic Fixes to Quick Settings Panel.

Conservative Governor added to the Kernel along with changes to its Scaling mechanism. This should help improve battery life. You'd need to set that Governor as default under Performance Options. (See the Overclock link in my Signature if you need to know more about the governor.)

GPS Libraries are updated. So Fixes should be faster and more accurate now.

Adrino GPU Drivers are updated.

APN List has been updated.

Fixes to Drop calls when SIP VOIP Calls are put on hold.

Assorted fixes to Audio and Video playback.

I love this ROM, but how can I change the screen resolution so everything is bigger? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dumboguy03:
You should use the search function in the future. The dpi was changed in the build prop file. Use Rom toolbox or an explorer that can write to system to update it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fooshack:
DPI

I did, but how would I know what to search for? Thanks for the lecture.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Open /system/build.prop (must have r/w permissions). Scroll down under ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES, look for the line ro.sf.lcd_density=245.

Change the number to whatever screen density you would like (ending in a 5 or 0). Most people seem to like 280, I use 300, and stock TW is 320. Save edit and reboot

I'm still unable to flash the 5.4 weekly. I'm using Philz recovery and whenever I check the md5, there's an error, I flash it and the gapps and I get nothing, not even the kernel screen. Just black after the Samsung screen. I wiped everything 3 times and still nothing. I've had this same experience with all d2lte roms since updating to TW 4.4.2. I don't know what to do cause I really want to run this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
If the MD5 is wrong, don't flash, it's a corrupted download.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Try to download on PC instead of the phone. Otherwise try download over WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Try a different browser. Are you downloading direct to the phone, or on a computer then transferring? Either way, try the opposite.

I actually switched my recovery to TWRP and now it installs with no errors. I was downloading directly on my phone, but I'm just glad I finally got it to work. Thank you for your suggestions!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Congrats on getting it installed, I don't understand the trouble with Philz as its never given me any problems (assuming you were on the latest) but that's not why I'm posting.

The reason you kept getting md5 mismatches is that Slim uses sha1 hashes and not md5's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thearch1tect:
I flashed the 5.4 weekly on Monday and its been running smooth for me. No issues to report thus far.:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] succumbtothegreater:
After tons of struggles, its up and running. Benchmark isn't as good as TW KK (never thought I'd say that), but with enhanced Dalvik, it's running like it should. Fluid. Very responsive as well, I have to say, I doubt this can be outdone. Great work from the Slim devs!

Guys I made the jump to nd8 but really miss slimkat. I know some people were haVing bricking issues when Moving to nd8 so I'm wondering if I would have any issues flashing from nd8 to slimkat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
It's safe. Flash away. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
So you did search but you don't know what to search for? You were asking about screen resolution, so searching on "screen resolution" would normally be a good place to start ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You may use Build.Prop Editor from Play Store. Within the app you are looking for one Field called "ro.sf.lcd_density" without the quotes. The lower the value the bigger the screen real estate. Go ahead and set it to 240. Reboot to see the effect.

Remember Play store sometimes does not like you changing density. So you will have to wipe the data to Play Store App and possibly Play Services.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
With the new weekly, has anyone noticed a faster battery drain than the last stable? I unplugged my phone (after full charge) this morning and I am already at 4%. This is under normal use - social media, texting, internet, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nostrings:
Heh, I have the opposite situation. The best battery life on this device, yet. Including TW based ROMs.

Time to get BBS working...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JCJ77:
I hear you. My battery has been great as well prior this weekly. Maybe I just need to give it some time. I am using "Greenify" as well, so maybe that app will assist in improving battery life.

What is "BBS"?

Also, for those using "Greenify" - are you using the option within the ROM or the app from the Play store? Which has been working best for you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thearch1tect:
BBS helps find any wakelock issues.

Battery life has been great for me too. I'm using ktoonsez kernel with noop and ktoonservative governor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nostrings:
I used greenify, but I don't do that anymore. And I stopped using any task killers. All I have is the leankernel, undervolted.

BBS = BetterBatteryStats

Another thing that has significantly helped me with getting much better battery life is opening up the phone, and for each of the antenna/GPS/WiFi contact pins, to put a small piece of paper underneath so that it has a much stronger contact. Battery went from ~12hrs with next to no usage (see here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694029 and then here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694029), to what I have attached below. Still not good, but MUCH better than what it previously was.

Do you mean Touch Wiz? This is built off of AOSP. For Touch Wiz based ROMs look here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Well, I got a question for you guys, I already made my decision but want to hear others points of view. I'm going to T-Mobile after 10 years with Sprint, right now the only thing keeping me on Sprint, price, is no more. So my question is, LG G3 or HTC M8? See, I am a bit biased towards HTC. Begun with the Mogul, the Touch Pro, Hero, Evo, and Evo3D. Then went to the S3 currently in use but I miss HTC quality. However I hate the M8 camera resolution, and the S-off issue being random luck so far. I decided to go with the LG G3 (can't go wrong with the quad core Snapdragon and 3GB RAM) but the screen resolution screams battery killer to me.

What do you guys think??

From my Sprint Galaxy S3 with KitKat using Tapatalk Pro
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thearch1tect:
I used the g2 for a few months and its a great phone. The build was pretty solid, great battery life, and the camera was killer. I'd say go with the G3. The only downside with the g2 is that there isn't a ton of development on the sprint side so you may fare better with T-Mobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
The only roms out currently out there based on ND8 (not counting stock) are Tribute and Wicked X. I don't know about Tribute as it just dropped today but I ran Wicked X for about 2 weeks after It first came out and it's now my TW nandroid backup. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it's a TW rom. [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] (Wicked X) and his 'team' (crew, whatever they call themselves :)) of modders and tweakers were pretty enthused and it seemed that if any little issue popped up they were on it in no time. [MENTION=4130218]Chadthepathfinder[/MENTION] (Tribute) was part of that team so I expect that it is just as good. I'll probably check it out in a couple of weeks when I go to clean flash the next SK stable.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s9amme:
just want to report I had a weird bug. Installed 5.4 and played around with it. I'm on Ting so I have to set up my APN's after flashing, however I couldn't get MMS to work. Anyway, I decided to go back to a TW ROM. After doing a complete wipe in Philz, flashed a new ROM, but it kept booting into SlimKat. I thought it was weird, so I flashed TWRP and did a complete wipe again and flashed a TW ROM. Same thing, the SlimKat boot screen pops up, but now it never loads the OS. The only way to get my phone functional again was to ODIN ND8 to get back to stock. It was weird, I've never had anything like that happen before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
In TWRP, did you go to Advanced Wipe and specifically wipe system?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Good call on the heads up. Saw this before flashing the ROM, and I just checked to see and imoseyon (LeanKernel) has updated his d2 kernel so it should work. I just snagged the kernel, will grab the ROM later on today and hopefully flash sometime later tonight or tomorrow. I'd say I'd update the thread, but there's a mighty big chance someone else will beat me to it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
This was posted in the comments to the announcement that OMNI Rom was incorporating 4.4.3 into their nightlies (from a team dev)

"While I'm happy as an Omni team member that you want to switch to Omni - seriously, you want the new dialer so badly that you are completely changing your system firmware instead of waiting?

Of the changes in 4.4.3, 80%+ were in the Chromium repos (those have probably been available by installing Chrome from the Play Store for months), 10% were the new dialer, 5% were changes that custom firmwares had already cherrypicked from AOSP master, and another 5% were "new" - mostly bugfixes for rare corner cases or specific Nexus device issues, many of which custom firmwares had already fixed in their own way.

In short, 4.4.3 really doesn't bring users anything significant other than a new dialer unless they're on a Nexus 5 (new camera blobs, although I've heard the dreaded mm-qcamera-daemon issue is still there) or Nexus 10 (a few Camera app fixes for video recording that were Samsung-specific, which means manta, and which I think most people had fixed in their own way already)"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
I think there's an issue with 4.4.3. I've used both CM and Slim and have had the same thing happen to me.

If your phone shuts off for any reason, and you try to plug it into a charger, it'll boot in to the kernel loader and hang there until you take the battery out and reboot it. Depending on the ROM, you'll have to do this three or four times. I flashed back to ND8 twice to update profile & PRL, and on the second time I tried to recreate the same issue on stock 4.4.2. I couldn't. So it's either a 4.4.3 issue or an ND8 issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nostrings:
This happened to me on ND8 & 4.4.2, so it's not because of 4.4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
Must be an ND8 problem because I went about a month back on ROMs, kernels, and GApps and still had the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iLLdWes:
So 4.4.3 is merged so consider this a test see how well the mergers went. This is a really quick changelog, more details look at the file, github or gerrit.

Due to some technical problems weekly is on hold.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Quick question about MHL. Could I use this to connect my phone to HDTV and basically mirror what's on the screen? Having both Watch ESPN (though they enabled Chromecast now, so that's a bonus) and the NBC Live app going from phone/tablet to TV would be splendid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I believe that's possible with Screencast under settings > Display
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I thought the same thing, but it always says "No nearby devices were found" even though I'm able to use Chromecast with other apps like Netflix and YouTube.

I just assumed it was a 'feature' they had, but never actually got working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That's a Chromecast problem I believe. That crippled device does not support DLNA in the true form.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
We'll that's a bummer. So would a DNLA TV be the only other thing you could cast to using that feature? Has anyone ever used it before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iLLdWes:
Yep... Complete mirror.. But when it comes to apps, the app has to allow hdmi/mhl. For example the time warner app by default wont allow mhl/hdmi out. But since xda owns theres a hacked time warner app that allows it. But yes its 100% mirror... For the most part
