Problem After Flashing Official UK's XXLA Firmware - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today i flashed official 4.1.2 XXLA Firmware of United Kingdom through KIES (thanks to the trick through which i forced the update, as 4.1.2 is not available in my country yet).
Overall functions and features are working flawlessly but i am having a bit of problem that whenever i open up my notification bar then the animation of shortcut icons (WLAN,GPS,Mobile Data, etc.) is not fluid and it gets worse when there is a list of available programs that have recently been installed or are currently being installed.
Is there a way to fix this ?
p.s. Below is the list of icons of which animation is really laggy
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Check power saving mode is not on. And ive found when listening to music the animation from when u open the notification bar causes lag

Try a factory reset...

Do a factory reset and set force 2D rendering and animations in dev options to .5 (or off). You will notice an increase in UI performance.

OP:
That screenshot is not 4.1.2 JellyBean. Its ICS 4.0.4.

factory reset
or clear launcher data if you want to save apps & data

Setting all 3 of them to "off" might cause another known bug, when touchwiz will crash while removing home screens. I set them all to "0.5". Goodluck ; )

That's what I thought - looks quite different to my JB notification panel, the clock particularly. Also, why is the phone's date in the screenshot from July last year?

Questions go in the QA section, not general

Check your weather widget's settings. I've seriously never seen those on my Samsung. Only on my Desire.
I've been running a custom rom from the start.

Seriously, you never seen that before? It's always been there since I have had my GS2.
I am also on a custom Rom.
Also, there is no option to toggle this on or off. It's annoying because everytime I unlock the phone, I can't do anything until the animation finishes!
I also have never seen that before.has that animation been there when you first got the phone with stock firmware?

Hmm...
To be honest, I can not recall it never being there. As far as I can remember, It has always been there since day one. This is wierd, I can not be the ONLY one who has the cloud animation when unlocking the phone. am I? It is like how we get the animation on HTC Sense (Homescreen) but I hate it.
Does anyone with GS2 have the cloud animation like mine?
Mabey somebody owned the phone before you and returned it to the store.

Tapping the screen after the animation starts does stop it then you can do what you want.
If its beautiful widgets then as stated previously by simes6600 "go to weather widget settings>advanced and untick "unlock animations" "...
hey guys.
I do have BW installed but i don't use it. Neither WL nor FW. However, i have checked the settings on BW and unlock animation is turned off. Its not a big of deal but i would like to use my phone as soon as i unlock the phone. I can touch the animation (clouds) and it stops but does slow the phone down. I'm confused. I might try and uninstall them even though i don't use them and see if that makes a difference.

So i froze the discussed apps with titanium backup and guess what? It didn't work. More ideas anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
OK guys, found the culprit! Lol!
It was along the lines of the previous suggestions!
It was a weather widget extra add on(which again i don't use)that had the unlock animation ticked.
I totally forgot i installed it. Lol!
this thread can now be closed.
I would like to thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Odd lockscreen

Has anyone seen this lockscreen, it's a bit odd different from the normal one? It shows it's face just randomly about every 150 times I unlock it. I'm on stock .73 fw.

I know can change it in the system ui if im correct, but have kniw idea why it is showing some times and not all off the time, i didn t see it before
I advice a repair with seus ( original update from se ) cause it is something in your rom, just reflash original rom with sony update center and you should be fine
You are on locked bootloader right ?
I don't get whats different ... looks like the standard lockscreen to me

You don't need to. Just confirmed it's actually a bug. They have already fixed it for ICS it seems.

I noticed this aswell, I think its a low graphical lockscreen because I find it goes to it when an app crashes or the phone gets RAMed up...

Omg, you care so much? It shows up in some 0.05% cases (if ever). And if you read the thread carefully you'll see that I already posted that this will be 'fixed' (rather 'removed') in ICS.

It also shows up as the alarm screen, for me and at least one other member.
But I really don't care much, seeing as I'm definitely not awake enough to notice most of the time ;-)

MIUI but Stock Samsung Lockscreen

Hi SGS3 friends,
i have a weird problem..
after i flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 from MIUI 2.7.13 to MIUI 2.7.15 (galmod) i have set some samsung unice settings, like s-voice and so on.
as i wanted to test the functionality of samsungs unice settings for MIUI i changed some setting for the lockscreen, like the clock, weather and so on.
but now, i have the samsung touchwizz lockscreen and i cant reset to the MIUI lockscreen, which i prefer.
or maybe i dont find the correct settings.
even after reflashing (no wipe) no difference.
restoring my backup from last week would be my last try, but i would prefer something else.
can please somebody give me a hint, how to change the lockscreen to the MIUI ones?
thanks in advance!
Samsung Bloatware is the problem.
I believe its because of the Samsung Launcher "TouchWiz" which is somehow present in your System/App folder.
Just delete the same and check..

Afaik miui and touchwizz don`t mix. You can`t use samsung software on miui or cm9. Do a full wipe including system format and reflash miui.
Mate, tell me you've gone into the theme app......... this is where you customise each individual part of an miui theme including the lock screen.

The galaxy s3 miui is based on Samsung framework. Everything that works on the Sammy roms should work on this too.

What Apps have you installed since this started?
Anyone figured it out yet? It's happening to me now, every time I toggle it off, it'll switch itself back on a few minutes later.
I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it and it's driving me nuts.
