[Q] I9300 Lagging, Rebooting, Keyboard Issues - After Flashing Custom ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I had flashed my Galaxy S3 i9300 with a custom ROM from Flashing Droid. below is the link to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-flashingdroid-v2-2-gs5-bug-fix-t2767784
After the flashing, the device worked well for sometime. Then i Started facing below issues.
1. Keyboard gets minimized while typing and doesn't come up. Noticed one thing during this is that my notification panel keeps refreshing.
2. Device hangs for sometime then resumes. Need to restart the device sometimes.
3. To open any app it takes time - message, call, settings, it is not as fast it is shown in the review video on the above link.
4. Music Player stops suddenly and while playing the tracks stick for a second in between multiple times.
5. Video Recording doesn't work and gives a failure message after few seconds.
6. Cannot turn off mobile data from the notification panel.
7. Also i am not able to change the clock speed of the processor.
Before flashing i ensured i had wiped the device, cleared the cache and followed the exact procedure as mentioned.
i have restarted the device almost 10 times since the flashing of the ROM. In fact i had flashed twice yesterday since it did not restore my contacts and messaged during the 1st restore option.
please help me understand what did i do wrong and please help me solving this issue. Do i need to reflash it?

What rom are you coming from?
Did you do a complete clean install?
What process did you follow?

I am coming from Stock ROM Jelly Bean 4.3. Yes I did a complete clean install. Followed the entire procedure as mentioned on the thread.
I am using CWM recovery. Did wipe factory/data reset. wiped cache and dalvik cache a few times before flashing. Then installed the ROM from the sdcard.
Yesterday the device was hanging every now and then. Later at night i decided to install some other ROM i.e GlamourzS4 which again didn't work at all. Followed the same procedure as above. The installation was successful. But the after rebooting I could only the 1st flash screen i.e. device model no. and thats it - the device goes blank. i waited for more than 30 minutes. Later I again reflashed it to Android Revolution HD 52.0 - a custom JellyBean Rom. Lets see how it works.

Errors on startup with FTS v2.4 ROM

I have my phone rooted and installed the FTS V2.4 ROM onto my phone, followed the install instructions. On startup I get a force close error, The application Motorola services (process.com.motorola.service.) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I then get the process com.motorola.home.other has stopped. Everything else works fine. I do get another error when trying to place an email and date & time widget. Is there a fix for this? It doesn't stop the phone from functioning just would like to fix it.
That is usually caused by a bad flash or incomplete wipe. Go back into the recovery wipe everything a couple of times reflash the rom and that should take care of it. I have had that happen on multiple phones with multiple roms.

So after booting into recovery I do wipe data/factory reset a couple times? Anything else I should wipe a couple times? And then do install zip from sdcard? Also, my friend said after it installs I should leave it for 10-20 minutes, is this true?
you can manually wipe the cache and dalvic cache 2 or 3 times each then factory reset a couple times then flash your rom again. What has happened is you have ssome files from the old rom and some files from the ne rom this causes the issues you are seeing. You could probably just factory reset a couple of times Cauculin? has made a special wipe becuase of these issues sometimes it doesn't format right that's why you need to do the multiple wipes to be sure it took.
Similar problem on virgin Razr
I get this each time I reboot " process com.motorola.home.other has stopped unexpectedly, Please try again. Force close. FC is my only option.
It has appeared a few other times but with no regularity. Like the OP I still have full function and use but I'm sure it is a sign of possibly other problems brewing.
From what I have read it looks as if a complete reset might be the only cure but I'm hoping to find another solution.
Q: Is "com.motorola.home.other" actually a file, or does it refer to a file that could possibly be copied back over from a backup if it is corrupt.
While writing this post this problem occurred again after closing an app, which has me even more concerned.
Many thanks

check ur pm
I have lighting ROM installed and dont have a backup of STOCK ROM
1) I went into Recovery and made a backup to SD card. The backup do not include camera images.
2) I wiped cache and it does not solve the error.
3) I did not do FACTORY RESET. It says that it will wipe user data so may be images too.

Crashing since yesterday's update?

I have been using Omega rom for many months however recently the phone started to lag very bad, so I tried updating it to the latest update of Omega,however there was no improvement even after a clean fresh install.
So I decided to go back to a stock rom not realising I needed certain functions that only a custom rom provides.
However ever since the loading of the stock rom and re-rooting the phone, every custom rom I have tried, Omega and Sensation, after start up when installing the rom, within 5min the phone just crashes and I cannot do anything unless I take the battery out.
Why would this crashing keep occuring and what could I do to resolve this issue?
Just tried tried flashing Sensation again and installed fine but within 2mins of completing the install, it crashed and I had to take out the battery and reinsert to finish my first time setup, which this time completed.
I then allowed the phone to reload apps trhough google play and within 5mins of installing it again crashed although the charging icon is moving but I cannot select anything on the screen...

did you try full wiping ur s3 and then reinstall omega

When you say full wipe, do you mean through CWM?
I did wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
Installed rom will full wipe selected.
After installing, wipe data and cache again.
Still crashing...
Omega problem ask in the Omega thread makes a lot more sense .

I had the same issue with Android Revolution.
Since reverting to stock rom, things seem fine now...

Galaxy S2 crashes on battery mode

Hi All,
I have a weird problem. My galaxy S2 is getting crashed when I use some apps like,
sync up with GMail, play TempleRun game etc., suddenly screen goes blank, and nothing happens. And when I restart, it crashes again during booting.
But surprisingly this crashing is not happening when I do the same while connected to external power, i.e., when it is charging.
I thought it might be with ROM, so i've flashed different ROMs like, RootBox, CyanogenMod etc., but still it is getting crashed.
Even I changed Kernels also, Dorimanx, Siyah and even base kernel which comes with Cyanogenmod too.
So any body could help me out ?
I tried to get the log, but don't know how to check/get the log where I could see the crash file/app.
Regards,
Hereticnine.

When installing a ROM.
What is the procedure you follow?
It should be this:
1) Factory reset
2) Flash ROM (Rootbox stable version 4.2 for example, make sure you check the md5 sum to make sure it is not a corrupted file)
3) Flash GApps
3) Wipe cache
4) Wipe Dalvik cache
5) Boot device, leaving everything default (kernel etc.)
Then try if everything works without crashing.

Hi,
I did a clean install with full wipe. Still I'm facing this weird crashing problem.
And crash is not happening when I'm in charging mode i.e., when S2 is connected to power cable, its happening only when I use the mobile on battery.
Regards,
Hereticnine.
You are absolutely sure this happens on a clean, full wipe factory reset etc., install?
Because if it is, I'm afraid you are facing with a hardware issue.
The battery could be broken (age, water damage, bumps) somehow for example.
If it is hardware related, to me it seems to be a failing battery (although I'm not an expert).
You could try borrowing a battery from some1 and see if the problem still exists.
Last resort is really flashing stock ROM through ODIN, maybe this will fix the issue.
If this isn't the case you should probably bring it to a service depot for repair (also why you will need to have a stock ROM on your device).
Try to flash stock ROM...see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701

(1) Do you use any custom kernel? I assume not as it happens with all roms and usually a custom kernel is overwritten by the one included in the rom.
(2) Try to flash a stock rom with complete fresh setup by using e.g. Mega or Super Wipe (Mega Wipe will give you the most clean start).
(3) If it is still not better, have a look here, maybe this will help.
(4) If nothing helps, Samsung service centre I guess.

hey, thanks allot for your reply. i followed your instructions, did the mega and tried again, but the problem still persisted with the roms i tried (CM 10.2, aokp, paranoid android) but i tried liquid smooth and it seems to be working fine now, it froze once and i did a battery pull and its been smooth sailing since.
is it possible that it may have been the SDS issue?? from what i understand tho any rom above 4.1 would have fixed this issue.

SDS is, if I am not totally wrong, kernel related (btw @rootSU got a very informative thread about it). Hence the Android version does not matter that much whereas if a rom is using an "unsafe" kernel obviously it is not SDS safe. As described in that mentioned thread, if you upgrade recovery (newest CWM versions, e.g. philz) and kernel there should me not issue with SDS.
