Yea....everything but adding new contacts and I had to use flashify to flash photosphere after 3 times trying with clockwork mod recovery. Oh well...I guess having everything working is too much to ask.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
What version of cwm are you on? If it's not the latest, you should update. I had some weirdness with previous versions of cwm with this ROM. I also had some weirdness with TWRP not flashing supersu (or superuser) properly. Ended up having to get it from the market but all was well after that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
6.0.4.7 I'm on the latest and I also had trouble with TWRP not flashing Kit Kat but I don't t see how that would affect my adding contacts. I'll try updating super su AGAIN I.guess it couldn't hurt.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
I didn't think not having the latest cwm could make my phone continually reboot each time it loaded up but it did, lol. Took me a quick minute to figure that one out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
Sounds to me like these all have their own idiosyncrasies.... kinda like people. Be happy you figured it out.

My Overall Take on this 4.4.2 Rom:

Definitely useable as a daily driver. Would recommend a non-clowned theme just to apply to larger audience, but the creators obviously don't feel strongly about that. Only issue I had was, like most 4.4.2 roms, the front facing camera on snapchat freezes and has weird resolutions. For me this is a feature that is too important to pass on. Maybe try asking the team over at MIUI 4.2.2 how they managed to remove this bug. They are the only 4.2.2 rom i've seen so far that does not have this bug.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
Now I'm done with this rom . New problem...... The last couple of times I flashed.it has uninstalled Power Amp. Now when I try to reinstall I am told I have insufficient storage. In reality I have nearly 10 GB
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
Is that your rom of choice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewjae04:
I have also gotten the insufficient storage notice when trying to update apps from the play store. It's running fine now. It seems very up and down for me. Could be just me though. Some days I have no problems but others are very glitchy. I can say that different versions of cwm and supersu make big differences. I am also on the newest cwm and I get a lot of error 7 when trying to flash from recovery. Anything that I have moved after downloading will not flash
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
Please forgive me I'm a little slow.....what do you mean anything you have moved after downloading? You mean like to different folder or sd card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpionhd2:
I dirty flashed v4.3 with lk v9.4 on top of 4.2 with lk v9.3. I also have philz touch 2.16.8 based on cwm 6.0.4.7. I used sspencers camera zip for the cam bug. ALL bugs gone. No memory problems, bluetooth auto connects just fine, cam switches back and forth just fine, no probs saving contacts, poweramp never uninstalled. I specified in case you guys want to try that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
I've got Beanstalk on my Verizon s3 and it has been pretty stable. Maybe I'll go with that if this doesn't straighten out soon. I restored 4.2 for now and honestly I don't see any difference with 4.3 x-cept I now have PowerAmp back.

Lean kernel

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigfoot.kom:
Hello. I think what happens is that flashing ROMs multiple times it keeps adding another emulated storage on internal SD Over and over. Something to do with multi user. So what I've done in the past is save my internal storage, if anything is important to me on my PC or move it onto an extra micro SD, and then before I flash a ROM I also wipe the internal SD as well as the required wipes to flash.

This should fix the no memory problem.

I also use micro sd for all my backups and titanium back ups.

Hope this helps.

Lean kernel

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Thanks for the explanation. Before installing Validus I did a factory reset, also I formatted everything. I also moved anything I did not want to lose to my external sd. That is why I was surprised to see the low storage warning. After restoring my backup to 4.2 Poweramp was gone again only this time I was able to reinstall without incident. Just STRANGE!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Low/insufficient storage is a common problem with the s3 across multiple platforms and it's usually a bug. I've found in the past that lucky patcher has worked to rectify this bug. There used to be an insufficient storage fix but that option has been replaced with "odex all system apps (more free space to int storage.) I'd opt for trying this first but as someone stated above, performing an entire wipe of the phone while saving your important files prior to pc is the method I've chosen for the my last few flashes. This has seemed to rectify a lot of those "idiosyncrasies".

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Just out of curiosity and this may sound like an elementary question but when you create backups via rom toolbox or titanium, are you backing up system apps and user apps + data?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
I really have not used titanium in awhile and have never used tomorrow toolbox for backups. Right now I don't have titanium installed. When I get everything the way I want it I make what I call a "RANDROID " backup with my recovery...clockwork mod recovery at the moment and that's all. Only keep one on my internal and maybe one on my external so as not to use too much space.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
I'm not sure I follow when you say "randroid". What is your restore process? I think we may have found your problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpson173:
It has to do with my name.....Randy..it's just a nandroid backup. But I wouldn't be surprised if I was somehow the problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
I've heard of ppl using the advanced restore feature in cwm and only restoring the app portion after flashing but that is certainly an unorthodox, potentially problematic method. You'd be better suited using an app designed specifically for backing up user apps + data and restoring those ONLY upon fresh flash.

Side note, sorry for highjacking thread folks. Back to biz as usual
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigfoot.kom:
Hello. I feel when wiping internal storage before a flash does solve a lot of issues. I've found that I have a lot less issues then other people and I believe it because there nothing on my phone besides data on my external SD on a flash.

When I use titanium I'm just using for some system app data and downloaded apps and data. I use Twrp for nandroid to external SD.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Oh Lord. DO NOT BACKUP AND RESTORE SYSTEM APPS.. ONLY APP DATA

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrored:
Yeah. I've been having the same issues, though am grateful that my BT headphones connect almost immediately unlike in past versions of this ROM. The only way I've found to fix it is to disconnect/reconnect the headphones by turning BT off/on from the phone until it doesn't skip

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ariesdroid:
We are still going strong. This is an official thread and it will be updated whenever the ROM/changelog are updated with official builds.

Links to our G+ page are in the 2nd post of this thread. We are also in the process of getting gzroms.com up and running which takes time and alot of planning.

We have also recently changed servers again so users will have alot faster downloads and our builing process will be sped up as well.

Beta 5.0 is now available for testing for certain devices and it is a great build. We jumped to 5.0 to avoid the confusion of having a 4.4 on a 4.4.2 androud base. Alot of people were confused by 4.3. There will still be more added and a few more kinks worked out before it becomes official. You can visit the g+ page to see if a build is available for your device. I am running the d2LTE test build and all is well. Data is working although the network reverts to wcdma/gsm on reboot. Manually switching it back brings LTE back instantly for now.

Other than that, custom progress bar, kk screen recorder, lockscreen wallpaper, wakelock blocker and system app remover have been added thus far...with lots more good things to come.

Stay tuned...

Aries
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ariesdroid:
As already stated you can use uccw and zooper themes and widgets created by our graphics guys...or create your own. Or we also offer a bunch of custom wallpapers, lockhandles and settings menu backgrounds which can be found on our server and or the g+ community.

You can also use xthemer from xposed framework and use the slimhue themes which can be found by going back a few pages in this thread. The options are endless for customization. We just dont have the CM theme engine baked in as we have slimmed down on cm stuff period as it wasnt pkaying nice with our aosp base...

So many things can attest to bad battery life. Are you taking any steps to preserve battery life?? with no statistics or screenshots or explanation on how your phone is being used and how you manage it its hard to say.

I use a 7000mah zerolemon battery so i don't worry about battery life ever, but i am getting average at best right now. That's to be expected as this is a brand new build and holds a ton of features for being this new. I get about a day and half of usage with 14-16 hours screen time as of now which isn't terrible, but i have gotten better on other ROMs...

I use free greenify and i have been freeziing the stock browser and keyboard as i use swiftkey and chrome beta in their place....I also go into location settings and change it to "Battery saving" mode ...It will usually be set to device only or high battery use so make sure to check that option under location settings. Data (lte) also kills battery fast....do you turn everything off when you sleep or leave it on? I also turn off all notifications on my device period. Every time you get a notification to an app (like facebook, g+, twitter, email etc) those are waking the app up.

that's a few things you can try for now but battery life will get better as the ROM Grows and gets updated.
