Hello all Galaxy S3 owners !
I am totally desperate about my phone. IN fact im almost crying.
My problem is simple, trivial, stupid. Yet its totally affecting my work with phone.
I can´t delete home screens in Touchwiz.
Yes thats right, when i zoom out to manage home screens, and i tap and hold to move the homescreen to the delete bar- it just freezes at the first touch with the bar and bam. Touchwiz has stopped, it will restart, and that homescreen is still there.
Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, but well the point is, i have done around 4 factory resets and that problem is still there. When im done setting up the phone, its working good. But the first time i will restart it, i cant delete any home screen again.
Please for the love of god, help me.
What firmware .What phone missing information .

Galaxy S3 International version I9300 16gb blue and newest android 4.1.2 XXELLA
You need to make sure that transition scale is not off in developer options.
A quick search should have picked that up.

You need to reboot after changing those settings..
If that didnt work then factory reset. This will wipe your settings and internal memory.

Bro try flashing up new XXELKC firmware this might help!

AW: Simple, but outraging problem with Touchwiz !!
Flash a new Firmware you will find fw at sammobile.com
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well that firmware is not for my region and its functions is totally same as in XXELLA, so i guess its alright
And yes, when i came back home now, i was experimenting a little and rebooted up too. Yes, this enabling of animations solved the issue. Animation scale to 1.
God how i hate them, that phone aint that fast now.. Well at least i know whats the cause of it
THANKS !

Just wondering if the wicked rom can be changed to 4by4 icon grid rather than the 5by4 icon grid it came with.
Also it has barely any samsung apps/widgets wondering if particular apps such as readers hub and widgets such as the stock weatger widget can be reinstallled some how. These were things that i used before rooting and installing this rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, go to menu - launcher and set the desired grid size.
yes, samsung apps caan be downloaded and readded again, check the forum it usual has samsung apps on first vpage as a zip file.
You should have read the rom description before using as custom roms try to eliminate all samsung apps. you should then stay with a stock type rom which has your required apps.

Lolzz... Flash the ThemeEnabler.zip in the WickedROM 2nd Post.It will give you your old launcher.
And in the 3rd post all those apps you want are already provided in different packages(right from only samsubg apps or only hubs or all the apps)

Thats not completely true about no settings in TWLauchers.My ROM comes with TWLauncher which lets me put 5 icons on the bottom tray and TW4Launcher which lets you change the amount of rows in the app draw.
First and second screenshot TW4 app draw settings,third screenshot TWLauncher 5 icon bar.
Has Any1 done this i dowoaded and flashed the hubs now when i try to use readers hub i have to install the book reader. However it says server will be available soon i mean what gives before custom roming it it always updated and installed instantly is this an app error or a rom error.
Thanks

But most probably, thats the TWLauncher 4.5 launcher (by Fr4gg0r) you are using i am sure.It has those settings.It is a modded launcher.The user was asking for the stock Sammy TWLauncher i guess

Not if the camera isnt modded or the ROM doesnt have a mod file you can flash via CWM to do so.
Could you elaborate cooza i just want to have the option to turn of shutter sound stock rom could. What do i need to flash.
Ps. Is the siyah kernel really good for battery life. If so what is the best way to go about flashing the kernel. Im a new user lol

yes, siyah is good for battery life.
If you are rooted use CWM to flash the zip file after copying it to your sd card. cwm- recovery-install zip- choose zip from sdcard-yes install, wit for it to finish, reboot phone.
other wise use ODIN, flash the tar file.

If you are on stock ROM you cant turn it off.If you are on a custon ROM the dev normally modifys various apps so that you have more options or you can download a file to flash and modify each app personally as you choose.If you are on stock then nothin,if your on a custon ROM ask the Dev or on the ROMs thread if there is a Zip file or CWM file that can mod the cam to turn off the sound.
Chetan can u release a mod or something to turn off camera sound

hi guys,
I got my S3 about 3 weeks ago, (a noob in android) i recently flashed the rom to an unbranded version because i hate the bloatware but one thing i noticed is that my ram is really high on the device and when scrolling through the homescreens there's sometimes a delay in response or goes to the next screen with lag. when i go to task manager my ram is always above 500mb of 779mb. Even when i clear the memory it goes down to about 400 but then comes back up.
what could be the issue. don't really have anything running in the background. i did download go keyboard and go sms pro but I'm pretty sure that is not the cause of it. it even happened when i had the branded version of the firmware installed.
any ideas?
Thanks
Go software is very laggy. But yeah I have very few running processes and have high ram usage. I don't know why. It was the same with my s2. But I'm not sure y your laggy. Mines a beast
Wipe cache?
it I do ever get laggy I just hold home button and swipe to end background running processes
Hope this helps mate.

thanks for your response mate,
Ive tried wiping cache stopping useless processes but even after that its still quite laggy and when i swipe to remove that even lags... pretty bizzare
RAM usage is supposed to be high. Please read the link in my signature. The lag must be something else. Possible drawing issue on whatever launcher you have.

The GPU may not be very good on the sIII, the GPU controls video, scrolling, animations, ect. But my guess would be that its just a badly coded ROM. Go on the forms for that ROM and see if its a common issue.

Could you perhaps be looking for fault. I mean have you come from another high quality phone. I haven't had any problems so far. I have not heard anyone with the stock Rom having problems.. obviously it's gonna have some bugs. But I haven't heard of this one mate. This is the fastest phone I've had.
Try Google it..

Have you tried:
Setting animation speed to 0.5 from 1.0 in settings/ development?
Enabling gpu rendering?
Setting maxheapsize=128 mb (from 256 mb) in build. prop?
Clear both caches, reset permissions, reboot
Also, removing all bloatware helps

you need to be rooted, edit /system/build.prop using root explorer or es explorer (the /system file system needs to be mounted read/write first)
you have to reset permissions from cwm (clockworkmod), again this needs root

I so know it comes to my next question that when you I exit an app the home screen redraw, and this is why I'm wondering why is my ram usage so high when I'm not using much I can the background or not using any launchers. I'm using beautiful widgets super clock screencast button and spanner month with a live background surely those can't use up 500mb ram can it?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

The several apps right there might be a problem...or the rom is buggy (many are).
So tell us what rom it is, what android v, what apps youve installed that required root access.and if youve modded.any futher the rom or enabled mods already within the rom.

The rom is the standard one that I reckon comes with the phone.
I haven't had modified anything apart from installing apps and updates.
The phone is not rooted in any way. Nor have I modded or inserted into the rom.
I have updated to jelly beans. And the latest applications I have installed are koffice, swift key, poker stars, and I am quite sure I have been changing settings but nothing visual.

Factory reset really seems best.
Just make a backup of your apps (use titanium backup) and then restore them
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
that's interesting, because as far as I know, the ripple effect on the desktop (not the lockscreen) is not included in the stock ROM. are you sure you're not talking about the lock screen? you can enable the ripple effect by going to Settings - lock screen
Yeh I am sure. I'm sure that it was there for some time after I have updated the os. Then again I have installed a great deal of software which I think had made my wavy effect disappear?!
And can I do a backup of the apps with no root access I don't think it's a good idea to play an expert and damage the phone beyond repair. Thanks!

Aye, what do I have to do? If you just give me a link to the most current method used, please.
The phone is gt-i9300 international. Thanks!
read the basics
I realise that. But there's a lot of people who suggested all sorts of different ways doing the same thing. All in all if you flash the rom solely don't it enables root privileges in a more effective fashion..? Thanks!

R: [Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon
The most effective fashion is the most complete one, not how you do it.
If youre speaking of flashing through odin modified parts of the rom so you can gain root access..then yes thats what i did (just look it up on youtube, make sure you write galaxy s3 international (if international version) and android version of your rom).
If youre speaking of flashing a custom rom which comes with root access already unlocked, you need to have root for that.
Its easy you can find it on google or youtube. Best method for now (or perfectly working one used by the most people) is flashing some stuff through a programm for pc (or mac i think, but im not sure) called odin. Then i advise (once you have root) you boot into the phone and install from the play store rom manager. Thru this app you may install a new recovery (basically safe-partition of disc, think of it as a bios or firmware for a pc. What u need it for is to save ur ass if u f***k up your phone, or to make COMPLETE backup images of your device so that you may restore them later on. It can also be used to flash other recoveries and therefore replace itself, or flash other roms or kernels. Its a MUST HAVE for anybody with root)

use any method, it does not matter at all.
but rooting will not get your ripple effect back. If you said that you had it before you installed something, then factory reset

You really didnt search at all did you?
One fix is to go back to a nandroid of a TW rom.or to flash a TW rom get a lock and then flash your new rom again. however since you're on Beans 17, im assuming, I dont know if that's gonna be much help. You can download one of the GPS apps from the Play store, look up GPS problems on XDA and youll find it cause I dont remember the name, and let it replace your GPS files. You can also download the Pimp My Rom app and use it to replace your GPS file.
You can also try this:
Go to Settings
Application manager
click all at top
go to Google services framework
clear data
Then
go to settings
Application manager
click all at top slide bar
go to maps
clear data
uninstall updates
Go to location services
turn off VZW Location service or disable it all together if you have the option
Power cycle phone
update maps from android market if your phone auto updates after you reboot that's ok, my note 2 auto updated maps and my gps worked fine
That's it your GPS should be working now

the best fix is to go your most recent rom you had a lock on preferable a nandroid as it's much easier.. get a lock navigate anyway get the lock then wipe everything etc.. flash rom and then you should get a lock this is mentioned all over the threads hope that helped

Actually I and a few other members have found that replacing the GPS files with either Pimp My rom or the GPS app, that I still can't recall the name of, work just as good in most circumstances and are a lot faster. It doesn't work for some people but then again neither does flashing back to another TW rom for some people either.
Not to mention it's much faster than reflashing a rom, setting it up, getting a lock, and then flashing the rom you wanted in the first place.
