Hi, i have been using XWLP9 stock rom + DXLP9 stock kernel for some days but i'm having weird lag issues with lock screen. I have had the same issues before with LP4 rom.
I use simple slide lock screen, but it also happens with pattern lock screen. Sometimes after pressing power or home buttons, after that screen turns on, screen is very unresponsive and i have to slide 3 times to unlock because it is laggy. Pressing home button again or waiting a bit before sliding reduce the problem, but it is irritating to do this every time i want to use my phone
I wiped everything before flashing and i'm not using external sdcard.
¿Is my phone faulty or is it a common problem on ICS roms? I never had this problems using stock GB rom.
Thanks for your help
Did you tried wiping?
I say backup your stuff, do a full wipe using cwm including format of system partition.
After that flash stock dxlp9 not xwlp9.
Wipe again using the dial code.
Don't think its your phone, might be bad flash.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
My phone is not rooted so i have not used cwm, but i did the following wipes in recovery mode before flashing: Wipe Data/Factory reset. After that i wiped sd. I flashed my phone twice doing that, first LP4 and then XWLP9.
I use that rom instead of DXLP9 because it has Spanish language. However, I flashed DXLP9 kernel on top of XWLP9 to avoid SOD issues.
What are the differences between cwm wipes and the wipes i did?
as atifsh said ,follow tht an get it rooted to enjoy the benefits of android.....read few posts for ,begginers,rooting,flashing it will help u instead of asking minor issues.....

get the cwm.zip, install it using the stock recovery, you will get touch version of cwm.
now goto mount and storage
format data, system, cache
goto advanced
wipe dalvik cache
reboot into download mode flash stock dxlp9 using odin
without signing let your phone start.
now see if you have those issues.
i think you will not have those issues anymore.
now you can flash any stock rom but please stay away from xwlp9. use xwlp7 instead.
Edit:
you never got rooted in the process above, if you dont want you are still as stock as you were before.
wiping the way i told will completly erase the OS from your phone thus you will have clean slate to start with.
if you want to stay on dxlp9, let me know ill tell you how to get spanish language for swype keyboard.

What about flashing the latest XWLPD and see if the problem exists? The non-wipe from Intratech should do if you have already wipe/clear everything prior to updating from Gingerbread to ICS..
I'm having the same problem with the unlock screen. I have stock XXLPH, but rooted. I've been having this issue almost since day 1.
It is so annoying that I decided to disable the lockscreen at all for now

I have just flashed my phone again (XWLPD Nordic Conuntries) following your steps but the problem persists. I formatted data, system, cache, wiped dalvik cache but the annoying issue is still there
Another idea?
It's called wake up lag or something like that. It's horrible, sometimes the screen is unresponsive 2 seconds after pressing the power button. Correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think GB had this problem, I've only noticed it on ICS. So no, it's not just you.
Guys, I got the damn issue solved, I flashed the leaked TW launcher(attached) from the SGSIII rom, then everything went fine and the device is soft and fast.
If flashing the new TW launcher didn't solve the problem flash the latest version of Siyah Kernel (im using 3.2.5.2)
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/
I don't have that issue, yes if screen is of for some time waking it takes 2 3 secs, but it never lags to Swype, even if I hurry and unlock it right when screen shows.
Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Thank so damn much for the help so far guys, i really appreciate it!
Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

Hey guys,
I just tried to update my ROM to JB build 9.
I installed the ROM and selected reboot.
Now my phone is pitch black. No logos, no nothing starting, just plain black. Capacitive touch is running though...
What should I do to fix this situation?
P.S. I can get to Teamwin Recovery with Volume Up + Home + Power button. I just want to run JB build 9. It won't load.
PSS I fixed everything... I don't know how to erase this post...

did u make rom backup?????alwasys do backup for your rom..so if unsucessful installing rom...u just need to restore the rom using TWR.
did u do all this thing before update : wipe data..wipe cache..wipe system...wipe dalvik cache..
before reboot : wipe cache partition..fix permission..
so....turn on...acess the TWR...anything that start from wipe just do it...and reboot...then u need start from the begining.....
OR
just USE ODIN TO DUMP UR STOCK FIRMWARE FOR GN2.....ROOT....N BLA BLA BLA....
let me know if im wrong about this....i still noob n ready to learn...
I'm guessing it's as simple as a bad download. Op did you verify md5 prior to flashing? If not check it and if it fails redownload. All you need to do is flash a ROM.
The last guy is right though on just restore your backup you made. Because I know you made one.

Hello guys, i didn't find any post with this issue so here i go:
I had my razr with the stock 4.1.2 (retail company: Claro (Argentina). It was lagging a bit sometimes so i wanted to give CM a try. I did this:
1) factory reset
2) installed safestrap (3.73 if i'm not wrong... i'll try to confirm that later... not at home right now)
3) booted to safestrap
4) wiped dalvik cache, android secur, cache, system, and something else the "how-to" tole me to
5) i flashed CM11 latest stable build (cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-umts_spyder) in stock rom (yeah i know probably not the smartest choice)... succes messege displayed
6) wiped dalvik and normal cache again
7) installed gapps
8)wiped again
9) intalled some kernel version FAIL MESSEGE
At this point i was going to reboot but safestrap said there was no OS installed so i did this:
1) create a new partition in slot 1
2) flash cm 11
3) rebooted (no "no os installed" messege this time)
The red M logo was displayed and then black screen.
I can boot it to recovery, fastboot etc ("power+vol up+vol down" menu).
I tried to wipe and reset from recovery but it didn't work and i also tried to flash my original 4.1.2 rom with RSD lite which failed at step 6/19 with no error code whatsoever.
Any idea how i might bring it back to life?

I´m subscribed to this thread to see the solution, cause i was thinking to do the same

hello xda,
i tried to insatll CM 11 on two SGS3 GT-I9300 and after installation first boot to CM, for any reason if i restarted the phone or power it off the device will power up showing the first Screen of Galaxy S3 model then will go in deep black screen like the phone missed the CM boot file.
Here is the procedure i used to follow, please bare with me and tell me where i did mistake
1- Rooting the device using CF-Auto Root (Optional as i think since there is no KNOX in 4.3 version)
2- Flashing TWRP Recovery using Odin
3- Using TWRP to flash both CM11 stable version and GAPPs
4- Reboot (CM works like charms!!!)
5- Any reboot happen, phone will power up showing the SGS3 Logo then goes in deep black screen!!
please give a hand and help me guys.

Do a clean install. Do factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache, wipe System and Data. Flash the ROM and Gapps again.
