My SD card will NOT click when I put it in which means if I keep pushing it then it will most likely break or get jammed or stuck. I did follow thst video over and over and over again, and my SD card still will not click. I do not know what to do at this point of time.

It doesn't click into place like the sim card does?
Are you putting it in right side up?
Perhaps later tonite I'll make a small video and upload it for you
Otherwise, if it won't click into place, your sd card slot may be borked.
But you are wise not to force anything
Meanwhile, check this video:
At about 1:15, he inserts the card:

Hope that helps a little.

I didn't check this reply of yours until now, but earlier in the day I tried to insert the SD card without following any videos and I finally got my card inserted.
Anyway, the backups I make are through my recovery. Could you possibly tell me how to create all backups the right way? There is a backup tool that Zoandroid recommended in the other thread, and I forgot the name of that tool, but its paid. Do you have any free recommendations?
Also, on the phone under settings, could you recommend the best settings for me to use?
And forget those themes I was talking about, but could you recommend themes you think are cool, or even the one you currently use?

Well, the backup you make in recovery, is called the nandroid backup. That is like a snapshot of your phone's current state....kinda like a restore point in a computer.
Now, I believe, without searching for it, the backup tool that zoandroid suggested was probably Titanium backup. That is a little different. It will backup your apps and data.
The free version will do that. It will also backup sms/mms/wifi passwords/etc but that is with the paid version. The paid version will also allow you to batch restore your apps. The free version does not--you have to restore them one by one. Just time consuming is all.
The theme I use is the DarkHorse theme. Not all themes are universal. In other words, this DarkHorse theme I run is made for CleanRom. So, just make sure that the theme you like is made for not only your device, but for the rom you are running.
There is a link for it in my signature. My signature will appear in my first post on this page.
As far as settings....like what settings? Kernel settings? Screen settings? Sync settings? All devices, even though they are the same make/model, will sometimes react differently even though all settings are the same..follow?
Glad you got your sd card going :thumbup:

Thank you for that! I do follow, and all settings. So your recommended settings won't work on my S3 phone?
They may, what settings do you want me to tell you?

Yes, that will help me, but where do I find these settings at such as interactiveX because I don't see that on my phone?
You can use an app such as No Frills CPU Control
Or another app is Set CPU
No Frills is free and SetCPU is a paid app.
Both will allow you to set the governor and the scheduler.
Here is a good guide to start out with.
SetCPU Help
Don't change too many things at once.
Start out with small changes, such as change your governor first. Then change your scheduler. See how your phone reacts to the changes. Then make other changes as you desire. Just remember do not check the "set at boot" box after your changes until you know your device can handle the changes. Otherwise, if you make a change and you check the "set at boot" box, your phone may bootloop..
Bottom line, small changes and not too many at once

Let me know if that SetCpu guide helps you out and I am really glad you have your phone rooted and operational now
