I'm having a few problems since rooting my i777. It randomly shuts down while I'm not using it, I think it's the messaging app causing this. I also can no longer get the phone to rotate into landscape mode for anything :/
Anyone know what might be going on?
Did you install any ROMs or just a simple root? Also, there's a setting that can disable rotation so check and see if that's enabled. I have no idea where it is on stock, considering I used it for a good day before I installed a custom ROM. Anyway, if you're still having persistent issues, I suggest just going to SHOstock ROM as it's very very close to stock but it's unbloated and performs better with better battery life.
I did install a custom ROM but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was, I went through some trouble because I was accidentally trying to install i727 stuff, so I just installed an i777 ROM someone linked me.
All settings are set to allow it to rotate. I'll try out SHOstock. Is it a ROM file I install from Clockwork Recovery Mode?
Hello, I'm coming along with a wierd problem, I own a SII and flashed a couple roms, now I can't get weather on lockscreen or even change the position of time.
I've done everyting (fixing permissons, restoring stock firmware, flashing another ROMs and nothing works!
Does anyone know what's going on?
Please Help!
I don't think every rom has a lockscreen weather feature.
Or maybe it's just turned off.

OK guys I got a question and I hope that someone can help me out here. I've been google-ing, looking for a similar issue and asking this question in couple of threads and after not getting an usable answer I decided to make a thread about my issue. My S3 emmc is the unfamous SDS affected one and I've been experiencing some lag and freezing so here's what I did with my phone at first:Flashed 4.1.2 XXELLA firmware, Rooted with-CF-Autoroot, flashed PhilZ Recovery v.4.35, Stock kernel.To get a clean installation I flashed the 4 file rescue firmware including PIT file and everything was working perfectly fine...no more freezes or random reboots just EVERY 2-3 days my notification bar used to get totally stuck/gone. Doing no matter what-restarting systemUI...etc,etc I couldn't pull the status bar down anymore until reboot.Tried stopping touchwiz home, clearing cache and dalvik, fixing permissions but it happens again in 2 days of mild-moderate use(web, games, texting, voice calls) Flashed again the XXELLA 4.1.2 firm.from sammobile.com.Changed the kernel as suggested by someone here on xda and it was ok for a while when using Siyah kernel v1.8.9+ until the next day when it happened again. It comes out of the blue just after doing whatever...at first I thought that is somehow related with the Triangle Away app that I used to reset the flash counter but it happened again even after I deinstalled the app. 2 days ago I wiped cache and dalvik, factory reseted the phone and updated it with the new I9300XXEMB1 uk firmware. It was running flawless until today when I faced the same frustrating issue. Out of nowhere after unlocking the screen I tried to pull down the notification bar to turn on wi-fi when..whoa!-there is no notification bar!again. I contacted Samsung U.S since there I got the phone this summer but they told me they don't have any tech support fot the I9300. It is driving me insane...what else should I try..tried hard resetting the device couple of times, tried different roms, different kernels all that is within my range of knowledge and this is my only hope that someone out there will give me an answer or suggestion. Any help will do good, thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Anyone out there please?
I experienced a similar issue, but it haa an explanation, Iwanted a black status bar, not the std dark gray one, then flashed a themed statusbar, when I rebooted, the status bar was gone, Ihad to reflash the rom (crdroid v 11), to recover the statusbar, finally found a theme with black background and white not light gray indicators, (LLC_XXEMA1_2_Jkay_framework_14_9blk statbar), and this one runs perfect, I now our problem is differnt, but give it a try, flash a statusbar theme, maybe, it will work for you, Im not giving you links, because it depends of your rom an framework, luck
Thanks I'll give it a try if I cannot stick to stock as close as possible then I'll try another custom rom like CM 10.1 or a themed status bar...For now the only "solution" to get back the notification bar is to use ROM Toolbox and with the rebooter to restart SystemUI-then it comes back. Uninstalled Dolphin Browser since I noticed that is the only app that I use prior losing the status bar (I might be just guessing idk for sure)
Finally I found a solution for my issue with the phone - SOLD IT! It was driving me insane with the constant status bar loss, no matter what stock firmware after the 4.1.2 jb update or kernel it used to run. Here on the forum I got no answer addressing the exact issue and I think that was the only solution. Bought a Nexus 4 and I really like it. Faster, smoother, better build quality, and I think I can live without the expandable memory and removable battery. Probably that was the last Samsung device I`ll ever buy until they start to manufacture a real quality products and start acknowledging and fixing the issues that follow them. Thanks to everybody here on this site for the help....
I think
I think it's the Custom ROM's SystemUI.apk problem reflashing with the same ROM would not help, i suggest to reflash the device to it's stock ROM and flash it again to your Desired ROM.

Tried everything my friend...reflashed to stock million times, flashed recovery firmware with pit file. Reverted back to stock with kies, downgraded, upgraded, changed different stock ROMs - nothing helped, felt disappointed and started to hate the phone cause it was driving me nuts so I sold the device and got myself a Nexus 4. I never regret of doing so, much happier, more satisfied overall with this beautiful device. Faster, no bugs,no lag, more quality materials used...now what is left is to convince my girlfriend to follow my steps as she started to experience the very same issue on the newest XXEMB5 firmware on her SGS3.
on stock JB ROM with root, I am not able to change the static wallpaper for home screen at all no matter I chose from homescreen or from gallery method. However, I can set it by using live wallpaper . Any idea ?
PS: The home screen is in black color now, all icons/widget shown fine though
can someone explain ?
I just Odin the stock file . The weird thing is upon reboot the phone is back to normal with everything : old apps, settings like wifi/google accounts are still there . The only 2 things are changed is no more root and gsm/simcard locked again . Does anyone experience similarly ?
It is normal when you come back to stock. I recommend that you root your phone then use an app to unlock your device GalaxSimUnlock apk is the best for this purpose. Then install a custom kernel which contains a custom recovery like twrp is a good option, after that install a custom ROM and say goodbye to the sim unlock and the problems with set wallpapers and other things.

Hello everyone,
Running the stock image (Android 4.1.2). However the device has been rooted and TWRP has been installed for custom recovery. Here is the issue: The clock on the lock screen t is not in sync with the system clock. It shows the time the last time the phone was used/locked. And there is no way to delete the lock screen clock. I switched to Swipe unlock and deleted all the lock screen shortcuts as well. No change in behavior. My wife claims that this problem started after I rooted and installed custom recovery. I can't for the life of me figure out how this would be possible. How could the lock screen clock in the original ROM be affected by obtaining root and installed TWRP?
BTW the reason I rooted and installed TWRP was because I wanted the updated Android version, so I went with CM11 M10 ( I think). Everything was great except she couldn't make phone calls, send or receive messages etc. :laugh: Since I made a full backup of the original ROM using TWRP, I simply restored it to bring it back to what she had prior to CM11.
Any thoughts on whats going on? If others are running the stock ROM (4.1.2), do you have same issues with the clock on the lock screen?
Thanks
