Just loaded 6/26 and switched to ART. Off the bat storage went from 84 to 93% used and Pandora isn't working with ART. Will try ART the rest of the day and advise back.

All went well with 6/26 running ART today. Must say I am impressed compared to the last time I tried to run ART. Bluetooth and wifi work fine, no reboots, battery life is about same. Speed and smoothness seems about about the same, maybe a little better imho. Your mileage may vary but I would recommend 6/26 with ART.
Huh, bluetooth quit working for me on 6/26 release. It worked prior to the update. My laptop doesn't see it when I make it visible to all devices. 
Uploaded 6/28 and still using ART as it went smoothly on 6/26. Checked Bluetooth via headset and Win7 computer and appears to be working on 6/28 which is still going smooth and strong overall just as 6/26 was. No need to reapply ART when switching from 6/26 to 6/28 eitherHuh, bluetooth quit working for me on 6/26 release. It worked prior to the update.

How you use ART?Uploaded 6/28 and still using ART as it went smoothly on 6/26. Checked Bluetooth via headset and Win7 computer and appears to be working on 6/28 which is still going smooth and strong overall just as 6/26 was. No need to reapply ART when switching from 6/26 to 6/28 either
Settings\Developer Options\Select Runtime and change from Dalvik to ART. Reboot phone.
I tried it and it didn't stick to art. It went back to dalvik after reboot.
If you have xposed running, it will not allow ART. Even when you choose ART and reboot, it stays in Dalvik.
Carbon ROM is the best!
I'm back on AOSP after a stretch with TouchWiz.
Currently I'm running the 6/29 build with PA Gapps and ART. The first day i flashed everything I noticed my signal was even worse than usual. This got sorted after about a day though and now everything is working great!
The only thing I can report is sometimes the phone crashes and reboots if I decide to use it for an extended period of time whilst it is charging.
Otherwise, it's daily driver material for me. I probably won't go Nightly to Nightly, I'm going to wait for a an official release before I upgrade.

Are you gonna try the 7/01 build?

I'd rather wait for an official release at this point. Unless someone can point out a glaring issue on the 6/29 build that is addressed by 7/01

I used to be that guy that would flash a new nightly every morning. After some experience, I've found that dirty flashing is not great and I'd rather not setup everything every day.
That's pretty much the antithesis of people on this forum but there you go lol

Lol..I can understand that.this build is my first for this ROM on the S3.been running touchwiz and wanted a change.but still this ROM is smooth.
I used to struggle with CM, Carbon is where it's at for daily drivers! At least for the S3

I've been using Carbon once every few weeks and the last two Nightlies I tried gave me random reboots and ate my battery like no tomorrow. Then again I haven't been able to find a version of Carbon that didn't devour my battery.
lol guess I should speak for myself.
All I want is a really clean minimalistic AOSP build. Truth is I don't even use a lot of Carbon's features. I've just had better luck with Carbon as far as functionality and stability.

Lol phones are just different. Some people mention huge issues with ROMs I use as daily drivers. I can't charge my phone and shut it off because it'll hang in the kernel loader, and it'll happen if I'm not on TouchWiz. And I HATE TouchWiz.
I'll give the newest Carbon a chance, though. I had some serious issues with the one from a few weeks ago that made me wanna throw my phone.
