Hello all.
I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300) and changed the stock rom to CyanogenMod 10.1. As I was not satisfied with the camera I decided to go back to stock. I downloaded the foirmware in sammobile.com sock and put the rom with odin. After that I had several problems. I tried other versions of the stock rom, but nothing worked. When I turn on the phone, it takes longer than normal on the first screen (the first screen to turn on, where it appears samsung galaxy s 3). After the android loads, everything works normally, but when you connect the phone to pc it is not recognized, and the worst of the problems, when he gets some time with the screen off (locked) when I click to wake it, it takes too long to turn on the screen, or does not care, having to be restarted. I think he does not shut down, but is frozen with the screen off. When this happens I get the impression that the phone FIVA a little warm.
Can you help?
Thank you!

Ive already answered this thread but i cant see my post here, so im just gonna repost.
It looks like you mightve flashed the wrong stock version of the rom.
Also under my point of view cyanogenmod is not stable enough for s3, it is intelligible after all since the s3 is not in desperate need of updated roms for now, also there are mo stable 10 builds yet. I guess u chose cyanogen because it is very popular or because ure used to it, but ill go ahead and suggest anyways u flash jellybam or foxhound or rootbox roms, they are very stable and well developed.
As for the camera app: simply go into stock rom and thru titanium backup make a backup of the camera app(its advisable to clear app cache and data first), then flash the new rom and stuff, and then reinstall titanium backup and install the app backup. It should be easy since i own both original jelly bean camera and samsung galaxy s3 stock camera apps on my phone... reverting back to stock is useless once u got the power of the dark side of root

killbubble,
Thanks for the reply.
I decided to use the Cyanogem because I like pure android. My previous phone was a Razr i (congratulations, Motorola). Very fast and clean. Samsung did a good job in the design of TouchWiz, and it seems unnecessarily heavy. Anyway, I want to return my phone to stock and totally do away with these instability problems.
R: [Q] Problems back to stock
In that case...its not gonna be too easy. I really must advise you against returning to stock, it's not THAT stable (there are some bugs in stock as well) and jellybam or foxhound are much better roms. But if you DO wish to get back to stock i think u need to visit the rootgalaxysiii.com site and look for your phone's stock rom...but it is very easy to make a mistake, maybe thats why your phone is so slow....

I just remembered that I had a backup of cyanogen. I did the root stock that was giving problems and recovered the backup. the problem of delay in the first screen when I turn on my phone and the screen freeze issue after some time locked, were not resolved. I do not know what else to try.

when I'm listening to music, the freezing problem after staying some time with the screen off does not happen. these two symptoms are very strange: slow first boot screen and freezing after some time with the screen off.

Problem found!
The unit stopped working completely. I searched the internet and saw that the problem is Sudden Death. I sent for technical assistance.
Now just wait.

Ok, so I have been having some major freezing and getting stuck on a black screen issues. Currently have Rooted 2.1 Stock Rom with JI6 update and OCLF V.2 installed on my Vibrant. Thinking about doing a full factory reset and also wiping the 16gb internal memory too. Then reinstalling everything from scratch. Will that make any difference? Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Oh yea also locks up on the Gallery and other Apps some times. Then nothing responds then have to take the battery off to fix it!also using Launcher Pro Plus as my Launcher!

Try this...
If you have ROM manager, try using the fix permissions option. Seemed to work for me after I flashed Bionix. I'm not sure if you're overclocked or not either. If so, you may need to check your scaling settings. Not sure if these work for you, I'm still in noob status, just trying to pick things up along the way. Would hate to get flamed for asking a question......
Just using Stock Rom not a custom Rom. Think I might just undo everything and start fresh. Just wish I could find a working download link for the TMobile unofficial Froyo Rom. But not having any luck since it was removed by the xda. devs!

Even with a stock ROM, you might want to tryr fixing permissions, seemed to work for me when I was rooted with a stock ROM....just a thought.
^^ please see the noob guide in my siganture... the ALT METHOD is exactly what you are looking for.

Ok just did that. Seems a little faster but the Market seems to take longer to load and also it changed my font style for some reason? Will test it out I guess

seen a guy over at the development threads ask about this, but I didn't see a response. I am having the same issue, when I try to "log in" to sync my facebookgives to the widget , I get a "invalid-key"error ... the first time I flashed rocko's rom worked fine, then I tried cm9 alpha ics rom, ended up reflashing back to rocko's, then the problem started.. any suggestions/fix ? Thanks in advanced..
I am not sure what is causing the issue, but it is possible that ICS modified something in a file the ROCKO's rom didn't touch so it could be causing the problem.
Once suggestion i have is to revert back to the stock rom and then flash rocko's rom again. I would think that should do the trick.

So launcher pro is causing this issue?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Am not entirely sure if launcher pro is the cause, like I said when I flashed rocko's rom from stock, the widget worked. After going to ics and back to rocko's I encountered the problem. Ill try to go bak to stock, then reflash rocko's and ill See if it works.

One more ?....wouldn't the wipe and system format prior to flashing roms erase any settings and files from the previous rom?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
It works now, went back to stock, and reflshed.. but my gallery wont work. Force closes everytime..
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I am glad my suggestion help you out a bit.
As for your gallery issues, I would take a look in the forums to see if anyone else is having the same problem with the gallery using Rocko's rom. It is possible it is a bug in the rom and not something with your device alone.
Sorry for delay in responding, lol I noticed I had 2 gallery icons.. one stock true other was also gallery but different from stock. That one seemed to work fine.

I can use the phone for 10sec after boot and then the screen freezes and doesnt respond to buttons but the status bar seems to be changing.
Last thing I was doing was uninstalling whatsapp, and some iphone 5 launchers with titanium backup and restarting.
What are my options?
You can go into recovery mode and wipe cache or your data maybe,saving your phone is a better idea than to keep your files(only removes your apps not photos or music)
Tell me how it went

I'm gonna dl and install some new jb rom while im at it. I have clockwork installed already. I'm new to android but have watched some videos about it so it wont be a problem.
I would say install omega,its fast and stable.
Omega for touchwiz and stock look
If you want the jb look like the nexus there are also many roms like that i think foxhound is one check tem out
Ask me if you have problems glad to help

OK guys my problem is my WiFi is retardedly slow. I have been using omega ROM and everything was fine it seemed my WiFi was faster when I turned off power save mode. I have just installed resurection remix and I love it its amazing except the WiFi being slow as hell and obviously I can't do the power save mode thing. Is there anything I can do to make my WiFi work normally? Oh and I have never had a problem with it dropping out.

try different kernel
In honesty it only seems to be anything to do with xda, the xda app/tapatalk/xda on browser and sometimes YouTube lags a bit. I have tried clearing the data or everything and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the xda stuff but it just doesn't load quickly I have to have five or six attempts to get it too load.

it can be a bit slow sometimes, using a browser it may be due to adblocker, but also remember it a very active site with a lot of traffic sometimes
Remember only one thread, OP.
Sorry about the two threads like I say it takes ages to load the app and YouTube on AOKP and aosp but when I use the touchwiz based roms and I am able to turn off WiFi power save mode it works flawlessly, only problem is I'm not keen on touchwiz I really like this ROM and would love to keep using it but unless I can get this issue fixed I don't think I'm gonna be able to.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Ah never mind i have gone back to Omega's rom as it seems to be the best touch wiz rom. Hopefully i will be able to use aokp or aosp soon without WiFi issues. Thanks for everyone that tried to help though

You have to go back to ICS before going to any AOSP ROM.
Do I have to go to stock ICS or any custom one? And will that make my WiFi speed normal?
Sent From My Omega'd Galaxy S3 ...
Any custom one will work as long as it is ICS and it should fix any probs you are having.

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.

Yes i have it disabled in purpose to save battery and speed up the phone. I experimented with other animation options, it didnt worked. Im sorry.

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 !
