dirty flash successful. so far all is running well. if I come across any issues I'll let u guys know.

I did a clean flash of this after it first dropped and have let it sit while I was doing other things. I just picked the phone up and was doing some things and I have had 5 "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" in the last 3 minutes. I am also showing phone using 35% battery and havent made a call or anything.

Just did a clean flash.

For anyone usiing Titanium Backup, go to preferences and backup location, choose the legacy folder to get to the titanium backup folder or else your backups won't work in 4.3

Just flashed, restoring apps now. So far this seems way to stable to be a first 4.3 for this device! I ran the first alpha builds on my N7 (original) and there were several bugs right off the bat. Will do some thorough testing over the next few days. nicklovell23, do you want bug reports or logcats posted here or on the Slim site? And thanks again for picking up where Cordell left off, looking forward to these new builds.

Will do.
One thing I'm noticing is that sometimes my back and menu physical buttons are not responding. Mainly the back button. I can't tell if it's a delayed lagging action or a negative response. It's random, so if I run adb logcat, it could be a large file depending on when the issue decides to surface. If I take a slim bug report immediately after it happens, does that include a recent log of the issue as if adb was running?

I use my external. Had no issues restoring.

Also, if you don't want bad things to happen, be sure to enable root access in dev options before changing dpi. I learned that the hard way on my N7.

Just had a restart trying to open camera app

edit: starting camera app causes phone to restart every single time for me now. It worked a few times. Can anyone else confirm this. I need a camera app tonight, hopefully I can get a 3rd party one to work
