why it is so slow
That depends on what/how many apps you have installed and how much of the phones resources they're using.......
Also some third party launchers (go) are 'resource hungry' and their 'addon' themes will slow things down even more......

i tried dozens of roms no luck
I didn't mention roms.....I suggested that apps and launchers *might* be the issue.....also, are you pristine wiping your phone between flashes? Have you tried alternative kernels to boost performance?

sorry i forgot to say the phone is for my mother and yes i am not a noob or something
2 years of phones flashing experience i have xperia u
she puts just facebook and whatsapp
thats it no third party launchers no heavy programs no games nothing exept that
my old xperia play had 4 pages of heavy games and apps and no lag of course stock 2.3.4
when i was using it i tried cm10 alpha 2 and it was smooth
i was using it back in 2012
I have the same problem here.
I am using CM10 alpha 2. It's kinda slow on my phone (galaxy w)
I use no other launcher except the default launcher that i got form CM10 alpha 2. And the weird thing is, it is slow, and it's battery drain.
Mw battery drain faster after i use this rom

Greetings, sorry for the noob question but my last android phone was a Samsung Moment and that had just the stock launcher. If I download and install a different launcher like say Launcher Pro, will the Touchwiz launcher still run in the background? If so, can I use Titanium backup to freeze Touchwiz or will that cause problems?
Thanks.
Not sure if it will run in the background but I freeze it with titanium and am fine so far. I completely removed it from my sgs4g with no issues.

Instagram actually works for me on the new Darkside ICS ROM, but choosing filters is real laggy. Just use Pixlr, it's better anyway.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA
I'd bet that it's not 100% compatible due to the fact there aren't any official releases of our rom. Instagram developers can't really make it fully compatible until there's an official release, and no real reason to until then.
It worked sometimes for me, and sometimes made my phone reboot.
hey can u check if ur allowed to save pictures from instagram because i cannot :[ tried to find that option for a while

What he said.. Each are varying with what works and what does not. I am running CM10 on my main phone, its not bug free but I dont have any huge major issues. CM9 improves on some things but not everything. The only ones I would personally call rock solid are the CM7 builds.

You're not being very forthcoming with your setup. Assuming you are already rooted...You can back up apps with titanium backup. You can back up the rom with your recovery (cwm, twrp, ext, etc...). For nav, any rom will do. For tether, it depends on if you want to use the built in CM tether, or a market app. I believe the CM7 roms have the built in tether working. CM9 and CM10 may require the use of an app like barnacle for tethering. Stability is in the eye of the beholder, but generally the CM7 roms will be most stable since they have "better" kernel source.
My real suggestion...spend some time reading around the threads because you are the only one that can really decide what will work best for you.
Okay sorry I was not very specific but yes I am rooted on android 2.3!4 and I just want make sure I have a good alternative to stock maybe with better performance to keep my itch for a new phone away

You could forgo CM all together and try UKB, its a great ROM and Nitsuj keeps it up to date.....

CM10 unofficial
I have always been a CM fan from my OG Droid days.
For backing up I tend to allow google to keep my apps up to date after a fresh install. (I feel like google owns me at this point anyway) I dont use Titanium much now. I do back up my SMS messages though with SMS restore.
For the Inc 2 i think CM9 is fairly fast, has FFC, is mostly stable, and i WAS able to tether with the stock app. A good option
But I use CM10 consistently at this point because 1. It is visibly faster than CM9 and 2. I am now hooked on google now. Its pretty awesome even though i have seriously considered reverting back to CM9 for the FFC (google hangouts and skype video calls worked for me well)
I would check out aeroevan's v13 kernel and 20120821-unofficial for a good option.
Okay I now a lot about Android but I'm lost for a second now what is ffc ?
Sorry I got it now
Okay so yes I just need to have everything backed up with my stock Rom
Anyone ever used uniflash ?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
CM
If you want absolute stability and everything to work (including proper audio and camera) I would recommend cm7.2
If newer features like google now matter more, I would use cm10, aeroevans build is getting very good. Some issues with audio, with some workarounds, there are details in dev forms here and on rootwiki.
I still use cm7.2 because the audio is perfect, which is important to me, and the battery life is far superior at this point.
Thank you sounds good!

i have a strange problem with w.whenever my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers.i cant play music,video,no locking and unlocking sounds.i have to restart the phone again.this happens atleast once every day.any thoughts on this?
OK....my best guess is it's the phones way of protecting it's "core" functions. The ram usage has reached a point where there is a danger of failure of its prime functions and it is attempting to divert ram from other non essential services. First thing you've got to do is find out what's eating your ram. There are apps available that can supply this information though I don't know what they're called as I've never had to use them (sorry) Are you using a lot of apps that run in the background to bring you notifications etc? If this is the case and you don't really need the app, delete it....simples.....
There is also a setting in CM9 that allows you to turn off background data if you need to keep the apps......give it a go and see....it might be all you need to do

Other things to try.....
Keep the number of home screens to a minimum.....
Remove "Widgets" from your home screens....
Apps like Facebook, eBay, amazon, PayPal, hmv, game, email....basically any app that takes you to a website.....they ALL use ram and they will ALL restart if you close them......they can ALL be deleted and replaced by bookmarked web searches that can be pasted to your home screen....sure you won't get a notification if billy has commented on your status, or if you have an unread email, or if that item you're watching is ending soon, but if your phone works better as a result....who cares lol.......
If you want to take it further than that, root your phone (if you haven't already) and install Gemini app manager.....you can use it to prevent apps from auto running and using ram.......

yes stock rom
That'll be another reason then.....ur stock OS has all sorts of bloatware (social hub, music hub, games hub, maps.....) all of it using RAM.....another thing to watch for....3rd party launchers (go launcher + addons).....very RAM hungry....ROOT your phone and freeze the bloat.....you WILL notice a difference.....you don't even have to install a custom rom, though that WILL help too.....

So my Galaxy S3 has become slow over time. I noticed about a few weeks ago how my keyboard simply got deleted and dissapeard of my device.. so I had to go into the google store to download another one - not sure if this is even related to my slowness.
However, I have found the device has become slow. It simple takes a while to load APPS, even when typing and just doing other tasks. I've actually disabled the stuff under developer options that I have found on this forum but it made minimal differences. Also I close out all my APPS using the task manager.
I am not rooted and running stock rom. Currently it has 4.1.2 running. If I were to root the device, can I;
1) Backup my stuff beforehand so when I return I can get my game progress etc. back?
2) Will rooting it make a difference?
Thanks in advance.
You will have to buy titanium backup, but worth every penny.
And yes rooting makes a vast difference in speed,stability,and just about everything else.

Thanks for the reply.
I did some research and apparently the Carbon Backup APP from the playstore is able to do backups without having root access. So I was actually able to back up my phone with that I guess..
Now, what would you recommend installing once its rooted? What rom?
Its a matter of preference. You have 3 choices. Aosp, touchwiz, or miui. After that it's just preference. All aosp is more or less the same. Same goes for tw. Just different settings or features in each version

Is touchwiz the one that comes stock on the Galaxy S3?
Yes. But there are different uhh... "Flavors" of touchwiz
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Specifically for #2, yes rooting can making a huge difference.
Generally there are either TouchWiz (Name of Samsung's "skin" atop Android on the S3) roms that have huge amounts of customization like Hyperdrive or a debloated and "lighter" rom for better battery life, less lag, etc. On the other side, AOSP or stock Android can come in many different forms, 100% bone stock, All-in-One Roms like PAC, or simpler roms like CM 10.2 or AOKP. I prefer AOSP based roms a lot more than the TouchWiz roms because they generally seem very snappy and give me more internal space too!
AOSP Roms I Recommend:
Bam Rom (not on XDA) http://get.bam-android.com/
Task 650's AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
Best one IMO: Quantum by pwncakes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390147
