hey guys, i have the international version of S3, I9300. . I searched a lot for an ics stock rom, and finally found it.. installed it with odin, all good, now rebooting..but its stuck at samsung logo.. and it stays there, and if i go in recovery it shows some red errors, something like ''can't find system dir, or data'', and can't mount them.. installed another recovery, tried twrp, and cwm.. and i saw that system partition is 1044 mb occupied, so the rom is there, installed.. but.. can't boot.. also, every ics rom tried isnt working, just isn't booting.. only 4.1.1 + ... i want to try ics because im fed up with ram problems and poor battery life.. it should be 1 gb ram, and my battery is 2850 mAh ... :/ ...some help.. thank you
after flashing ics rom,boot to stcok recovery. select wipe data & cache then reboot. first boot will take 5-10 min.

You can't go back from a newer JB-firmware to ICS easily: it has another efs-format (makes loose IMEI) and needs another bootloader. Use search function to inform.
ICS isn't necessary for good battery life. Try NCS-ROM (JB) or Slim (KK or LP).

i will stick with NCS ROM, good ram management, very light rom.. KK is boring and not baterry friendly.. and lollipop is too laggy.. so ics isn't worth it on S3?
I used NCS for 1 year, but JB isn't safe anymore. So I'm on SlimLP. It runs fine, if you don't install elephants. As batteryfriendly as TW. ICS is out of area IMO and tricky to go back.
But if you have such strict opinions about various Androidversions, why do you ask?

well,i tried so many roms and my favorite android version is lollipop..but every lp rom tried ... the ui feels laggy.. can't compare it to stock lollipop on other phones , and that is annoying.. my opinions are not that strict, its just.. every android version left me with an impression.. btw, what do u mean with JB isn't safe ?

You can go back to jb to ics. If you face imei lost problem, u can easily fix it by flashing modem.
Try this Ics custom rom. Epsilon Project - ICS - V3 and use older version of cwm recovery to flash this rom.
I tried this rom a month ago good battery life than other roms. But ics rom don't support more new apps
I suggest you to try Liquid smooth KK rom Use greenify and Amplify to get good battery life.

Guys,
I had recently upgraded to ICS as it released in the UAE a few weeks back.After i had updated i found that the stock camera application was very bad.So i decided to go back to GB using odin.I flashed the PDA file and everything went fine.But now it seems like the camera is still like ICS,and there are a lot of force close pop ups,i cant seem to do update OTA.I have never rooted or done anything on the phone other than downgrade to GB.Guys so is there a way to fully go back to GB.
u can flash an official GB rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
hopefully u can get ur GB camera with no force closes.
first of all, make a full wipe (cache, dalvik, /system and cache/factory resets). then flassh any Stock/cooked GB rom.can i suggest u Darky rom?? is the best for GB. excelent sammy rom based rom.

Is it possible to install/flash a JB custom ROM (based on latest official stock) over my current Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM without problems & have all my previous data (apps, features, contacts, settings..) back as it is ????

No, you need to wait for your region. You can of course flash one of the releases but you may get problems and end up having to wipe the phone to solve them.
You can get everything back except for your settings. You'll have to do the dance but everything else is recoverable.

I always find it best to wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik at a minum but before that you could always backup your apks and data using titanium backup or Mybackup root

I have an OTA update of about 25 mb but, it gets stuck at 25% & ultimately fails after reboot.. Tried either stock recovery or unrooted condition but, no joy.. Should I have both conditions at the same time or is something else the culprit. ?? Note that, I have installed Vertumus JB Domination theme which might've modified the build.prop...
I have a UK Samsung S3 andn ever since i updated to the jelly bean provided by samsung my phones been lagigng like when i open my messages it takes sometimes 5 seconds to open up when it didnt before and even opening things on my phone its lagging
i now have a custom rom which is android revolution HD 15.1 android version 4.1.1 kernel 3.0.31-411425
Any advice?
Thanks
Same here.. Don't get why..
very strange because it was fine before i updated to jelly bean and after that thats when it started lagging and i have the same apps on as i had before
Ditto.. In fact I deleted some!
Yup same here. It's just Jelly Bean mate. In my opinion ICS was much faster and more responsive.

Have you tried changing the kernel? Maybe try the Perseus Kernel? Lagging might be kernel related.. Or can try to superwipe everything, then flash the ROM again..
I have used ARHD 15 and now on ARHD 16, everything fine & smooth.. of course I did superwipe if changing to new base.
Hope this help..

It's nothing to do with kernel. It's because the messages application is getting unloaded and loading it up takes more time in JB. I think there are mods that will make it so messages application will persist in memory, so it will be opened like instantly. Have to search forums here in XDA to find it... Same for contacts and phone apps.
same
Same here. I think the problem is the Jelly Bean version made by Samsung. With 4.1.2 is the same. Dialer, contacts and messages take 2-3 seconds to load
The same thing on my dialer and messages..slower compared to ICS

wipe before install and wipe a few times after install..still the same..
Didn't try any other JB releases, just the latest leak (ELK4 i think). Did an upgrade without even wiping directly from ICS. My phone is BY FAR more responsive and faster. Wasn't expecting it either, specially without wiping. But it did. So, not sure what you're using for a rom, but if you haven't give this one a try. Haven't done any further modding, it's all "stock", including kernel. Am using exDial though - all the stock's funcions, double the speed.
The only thing that lags is swype but only when i change languages. But since this is a leak test version running swype which is, in itself, a beta app, i'm not complaining. Everything else is just awesome, even in multiwindow.
Your solution buddy

try reseting your settings and if you can factory reset that would be even better but reseting your setting won't damage your data but your wifi profiles will be wiped so as your Bluetooth paired devices...lets say you just have to reconfigure you're device's settings. click thanks if I helped
I´ve flashed S4 Revolution v6 rom with no problems at all.
After going on a tour my i9300 reached 43º. I thought it was just me getting excited but it still happens.
I´m using titanium backup and removed all apps I didn´t want but didn´t improve.
After idle it´s ok but as I start using net or a few multitasks.... 43º again
Also, I´ve deleted cache, dalvik and factory as well and flashed again with no luck.
On another note, on previous S4 Revolution v5 it was fine.
Any ideas please???
Wipe phone flash stock rom and test and or read the rom thread .

any way that is based on a leaked rom and hence bugs are expected. tweak according to your requirements. else mega wipe and flash the rom again.

did that as well but same happens.
funny enough I had version 5 for some time and worked fine.
Heating can sometimes be caused by the kernel.Wipe cache partition and flash a custom kernel.

Yeah I just saw that. My bad. I guess he could always reflash the rom kernel incase its corrupt.
reinstalled rom after complete wipe and it´s working fine.

Hello, im currently on CyanogenMod 11 on SGS3 (4.4.2) and i want try Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 KitKat v5.1.3.
Do i have to go back to stock ROM via odin or theres no need?
and i have another question, my phone battery drains really quick and gets hot, sometimes if i play GTA SAN ANDREAS for like 20-30 minutes with 50% battery, the phone freezes and goes off... i wanted to know if thats a problem from the ROM or from the battery itself?
and is there any advice for a fast and good battery performance ROM?
Thanks alot
Firstly yes you can go directly to RR from CM 11..
Battery would always be better on stock rom compared to aosp.
About the restart problem cm 11 always have some bugs because drivers are not available and they are trying best to smash those bugs.
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...
Hi, just my opinion bro.. I'm also new in flash, odin, root & etc..
If i want to change rom A to rom B I'm always do a clean flash.. Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache & wioe dalvik cache.. Just flash with CWM @ Twrp..
About battery performance i use BBC (BetterBatteryStat)
That all i know..
