I dont think so currently. Youre going to have to go without sepia on your pics for a while. Its hard to be artsy on android.

Instagram is a app issue with "all" ICS ROMs. It hit and miss as very very few have said it worked for them but majority it does not work.

The app is fully working for me using NexusMod ICS Zero. I admit it wasn't working and was freezing trying to use the filters. But once I did the Fix Permissions Workaround for ICS it is fully working now. It does lag a little on some of the filters but it no longer freezes up the phone or reboots the phone.

Which ROM are you on? Mine uploads fine after the fix permission fix.
Crap...I just updated to the latest Instagram and now mine are pitch black now...lol.

I'm on Racings UCLD Skyrocket ICS, and Instagram actually TECHNICALLY does work now, but it's far from perfect. I've only had one FC though so that's good.
In general its just slow applying the filters at times, and just seems a little "buggy" on my ICS rom. But it does work so I'm not complaining (on the old ICS roms it would just freeze up the entire phone and FC constantly)

On Racing's newest UCLD Skyrocket Rom it seems to work, not great but good enough for me (I was so against going back to Gingerbread that I was prepared to live without Instagram so I'll take what I can get) lol

1/5 times or so, is how often I can get it to work.

The same one as you dude, maybe the next update will fix it.

So how can any of you say it's working when using words like (1 out of 5, lagging, black picture, freezes often)....That my friends is not working so again to not create false hope for any newbies running around trying to get a fix for instagram - It's an app issue with ICS and does not have anything to do with ICS Rom's. Period.

Lol very true. After playing more with instagram I can go ahead and say it doesn't work well enough to warrant using. Mine Freezes on applying filters and when attempting to export photos.
Also the pics that I was able to get edited/uploaded through instagram (after a lot of waiting and semi FC's) I noticed that the quality is severely degraded after it gets uploaded I freely admit I haven't spent much time with instagram (I have a real camera and use LR3 and CS5 when I want to do some photography) but is it normal for it degrade the quality so much?
After my pics were uploaded they looked they were shot with the front facing camera on my T-989 lol

I wonder if we all wrote them. Maybe they can help resolve the issues. Here's the link.

I seem to have fixed the instagram bug. Clear data on the camera in applications and try running it again
Edit: nvm it only worked well for a few minutes. I even tried replacing the camera apk with aosp version from ravers aosp rom.. same thing works for a few minutes then starts to lag out

Nope, works fine for me.

Nope. Not very. Just a bit laggy.
I see that UI on 4.2 is not so fast as it was on 4.1.2, but some apps (e.g. chrome) works a bit faster.
So, yep - I'm happy with the update.

People who aren't having speed issues: Can you test a couple of scenarios I've noticed in particular?
1) In the new gmail: tap on the account switching area at the top. This loads far slower for me with the new app
2) Put your phone to sleep or wake it up. Sleep/wake seems quite a bit less responsive in 4.2 on both of the stock phones I've tested.

Disable all animations in developers options and screen off animation will be less noticeable.

i made i wipe cache and now is working fine. thanks a lot

No. 4.2 is just as fast as 4.1.2 on my GNex... which was fast whether I use the stock UI or Apex Launcher. Granted there is an initial sluggishness during the initial boot from services loading in the background... but after that my GNex is smooth and fast.
Those of you experiencing slow speeds: Try flashing the factory image from Google. I had one app that didn't work properly and a flash to factory stock and re-root fixed the problem. It's possible you have an app running in the background eating up resources too.

I understand these threads and posts must be annoying to those who aren't having issues, but to people like me, who OTAed a bone stock phone and are left with a less-than-satisfactory experience, it is equally frustrating. Especially considering how many improvements were made with 4.1-4.1.2, which have now been rendered moot.
I guess my only recourse is to wipe and flash stock, but because I'm not rooted and don't have any backups, it'll be fun to rebuild my phone.

Turn off that live wallpaper! JK hopefully that isnt the case...

Each Android iteration on the GN has gotten smoother for me. 4.2 is pretty amazing out of the box, much like 4.1 was when compared to 4.0.3/.4. The GN is definitely not lacking when it comes to having what it takes for 4.2.

4.2 is really, really fast. When they fix camera rotation and recent apps, it will be perfect. It killed my urge for N4. Now I can easily wait for one more year... Good job Google.

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?

im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .

If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.

Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.

AOSP 4.3 discussion

What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?
As of 8/10,
- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)
- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.
- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)
- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.
- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)

Things are loading faster on LTE even with slower speeds? Interesting! Is your ping lower or something? I need to try a 4.3 ROM tonight.

Speedtest results yield ~10mbps in most instances but the overall browsing experience is much smoother. Perhaps something with the routing and such.

After two hours and 36 minutes of screen time, I'm at 89%. Been on 4G LTE the entire time.
Edit: I do have a 3000 mAh battery, though!

Battery has been great on slim it's also noticeably faster than 4.2 ... Camera is buggy as !-!311, that's really the only thing wrong with it though... My friend did just send me a file to flash to fix the camera, haven't flashed it yet so idk if it'll work or not

Really digging the aosp implementation of dialer completion. It's spot on! CM10.2 feels noticeable quicker than CM10.1. That's just from my p.o.v. though.

Is camera still buggy? what exactly is buggy about it? I havent tried an AOSP rom in like 6-8 months because first time I flased one my sd card got corrupt. I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver? Bluetooth issues,random reboots,freezes ect...

I never had the luck of running a 4.3 build perfectly. Phone ended up crashing and getting stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot screen.

Latest carbon runs quite fine 8-29 nightly. However, I noticed Bluetooth doesn't appear in the toggles nor can you enable torch in the power widget. Anyone know a work around to fix this?

CM10.2 Nightlies Discussion

In the heritage of CyanogenMod discussion threads, here is a new one for the release of the 10.2 nightlies. Nightlies started on 8/26/13 (my b-day thanks aremcee). 10.2 will bring you up to Android 4.3 Jellybean.
If you are on 10 or 10.1, go to Settings > About phone > CyanogenMod updates, and change your update type to Nightly. Download, install, enjoy.
If you use Google Apps you must flash newer gapps. After CM update download the latest gapps here: http://goo.im/gapps. Currently the 10.2/4.3 package is 20130813. Reboot into recovery and flash the gapps zip.
Not on CyanogenMod? I recommend wiping everything and installing:
Download CM: http://get.cm/?device=p930
Download Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps
Change Log: http://10.2.cmxlog.com/?device=p930

I updated to 10.2 yesterday. Seems to be really smooth and generous on the battery. Obviously this is not a formal test. I'm not on WIND kernel anymore so I don't think my idle battery use is nearly as good. I hope he releases a 10.2 version soon.

Those of you having issues with no mobile signal from 8/27 on flash the baseband/firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842763
That will fix it.

trying 8/30 nightly apn's are working. Looks pretty good so far, will have to leave it on the phone for a day and see how things progress.

Is there a way to partially flash Gapps or is best to put them all on regardless of whether I use them?

Just flashed this . only thing is I notice while opening an app or going from an app to home screen . I get lg logo appear then disappear . and in about phone last box lisnux I think it was I kept tapping it and my phone froze lol. Other than that I love it can't wait for wind kernel

You can open the zip with 7zip and remove the applications you don't want, then flash gapps zip.

I am having horrible issues with Google maps and cm10.2. After install and I run for the first time every thing works (as long as I am on WiFi). As soon as I go to run it the second time and go to navigation I have the following issues:
1. The recent location, home & work, & history/starred cards will flash for a second then disappear.
2. When I have the above state it takes 5 - 10 min to achieve GPS lock, then I loose it about every 5 min.
3. The green ribbon at the top no longer has the street name, just an arrow and the number of mile on the left and the letter mi on the right. Correct orientation should have the arrow, miles & mi on the left with the current road on the right, and then when you approach the turn the banner should get larger with the street larger in the middle of the banner.
4. If I uninstall and reinstall, I can get it to work the first time and as soon as I exit and go back into the app its back to being messed up again. Clearing data, cache & rebooting have no impact.
Can this be repeated by anyone else?
I do not have this issue with stock, cm10.x, miui, or any other ROM I have tried except cm10.2 4.3.

Found battery life was horrible for the 8.30 flash, phone never went into deep sleep. However just flashed the 9.1 and phone did go into deep sleep now.
