Root [International] sgs 3 is a joke

Guys, i am so angry with this phone already! I dont know what to do anymore. I rooted it, now i have NeatROM Aroma. Since i installed 4,3 update my phone works like hell! So much delay to camera, gallery, unlock screen. Pice o ... by the way, since i flashed neat, i lost my original backup. Is there any way to go back to the original android version of my phone? Something like 4.1.2?
 
Is that the Touchwiz ROM, cos there were a lot of issues with the firmware when Samsung rolled it out. If you've lost your original backup you can roll back to a 4.1.2 firmware, download the correct version for your phone model/carrier from the Sammobile site and flash via Odin. Why not try one of the non-TW 4.4.4 ROMs first though?
 
Hmm, may not be to your liking but I'm running a Liquidsmooth nightly (pre 3.1 official release) with no bugs. You can roll back to a 4.1.2 as above if you're not happy.
 
I wouldnt try to roll back to v4.1.2. Reason being, if you've got the official Sammy v4.3, it comes with Knox, and, any attempt to install a rom older than v4.3 will hard brick your device. I have read this in several places, but please check for yourself before trying to flash an older rom.
 
So the point is that, it isn't recommanded to flash an older version, but 4.3 TW is working like... Only left is to flash an non TW rom..
 
Pulse hit it in the head the general consensus is flashing firmware below 4.3 after updating to 4.3 will brick your phone, its been talked about and been warned about over on the xda forums
 
Neat Rom is what I use now not an official rom..and I would like the 4.1.2 cuz 4.3 works v slow..


PS: i managed installing official 4.1.2 tw from sammobile, had some issues with imei, but I solved it with modem mg4. Thank you guys.
 
True Pulse8 forgot about that problem with official updates, from the op I read it as having custom Neat 4.3 which from Fuzi's post it was thankfully.
