Root [Virgin Mobile] Official LiquidSmooth Nightlies!!

I've enjoyed the 9/18/14 nightly, but I have had some random reboots. I think two so far. Also, GPS wouldn't work for me. At all. I Googled around and saw that some people suggested tightening the screws on the back of the phone, but that didn't work. In another thread I saw that someone had a similar problem in a CM11 nightly and they fixed it by flashing a CM11 M10 snapshot. I tried that and it worked. Just thought I'd add my two cents in case someone else had that problem.

Has anyone else had a GPS problem on LS nightlies?

To be honest every liquidsmooth since 9/18 regardless if i dirty or clean installed it has had major problems. I have been using joe carbons Dirty Unicorns rom and has all features and an oct update with 0 issues as of yet. Still have a nandroid of LS 9/18 on sd card. https://plus.google.com/app/basic/109336113067800884269/posts?cbp=vgm978mqco7j&sview=25&cid=5&soc-app=115&soc-platform=1

Would like some guidance.

Virgin Mobile S3 SPH-L710
I'm on the stock Jellybean 4.3 rooted. (MK5)

I've been thinking of trying this ROM but something I'm concerned about is other KK ROMs I've looked at say about having to update the modem and bootloader or you will brick the phone.
I don't see this warning in the LS OP.
Is the updated modem and bootloader included in the ROM or do you have to flash that first before the LS ROM?

DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR BOOTLOADER OR MODEM.
Just OTA update your phone or flash the 0din/flash the ND8/C update

I tried 05 this morning dang thing rebooted on me.Could of been an app I use who knows.I jump off any when I get reboots.Maybe I should of gave it a chance lol.

Strange. Clean install and I havent got a single random reboot. Not a single FC. Thing is running beautifully. It has a new kernel too... I wonder if that was causing the issues post 9-18 until 10-05

Been running a the stock JB with root for a long time without issue.
Decided to Odin the stock KK to get the bootloader and modem to put custom ROMs on. Ran the stock KK a few days with root without issue.
Yesterday I finally got around to putting a custom ROM on. I placed the latest LS build on (10/5/14).
Man is this ROM smooth and snappy!
1 issue I found that I don't really care about is that the stock camera will re-start the phone. Installed the camera from the playstore that I really like, works without issue.
The other issue I have that is somewhat bothersome is that my Sandisk 32G class4 card is not readable. I tried reformatting the card on the computer with FAT32 as usual. Still does not see the card. It can see a Sandisk 16G class4 card no problem. The issue is I'm almost full on the 16G card.
Anyone else have this issue?
May have to try a different class or manufacture card.....
