Hi ,
You could try with a different kernel to improve the performance of the phone , make sure is for a TW rom.
Here some samples

Problem with Chainfire3D and wifi

Hi guys.
First off,I have a problem with my wifi.When I am connected and have the screen turned off for some minutes,it's like I lose connection.The wifi is connected,but I have no internet and I have to turn wifi off and back on to be able to use my internet again.
Secondly,I have a problem(kind of) with chainfire3D.I choose a plugin and click fix market.However,I can see no extra apps.And what's worse I have bought Asphalt 6 from the market and I cannot install it!It won't show up no matter what I do!And it happens generally,not only with Asphalt.No additional stuff shows up on market.
I am on KE7 with KF1 CF-Root kernel if it matters.
Thanks guys,I hope someone can help.It ain't nice knowing I threw money away,don't you agree?

Sorry for insisting but my nerves aren't in the best state they could be.
Wifi problem seems to be gone with Cognition 1.0.4.Chainfire3D/market one persists though.

so i got my s3 mini from a friend studying in dubai
phone was brand new in the box
looked legit
had all the right hardware specs and software and all packaged as expected
however
started looking at a few things in details for example the imei
there are a few websites where you can query your imei and see what output it gets
mine showed some other brand and model of phone
leading me to believe my phone is one of those cheap replicas
and yet the look and feel and performance seems legit

forum problem
Greetings all!
I am having a slight problem with the forum. I can't seem to stay logged in all the time, even if the box is ticked. From time to time I must reenter my credentials, and that is a [first world problem] I know but is there something others has experienced or is it just me?
On the side note, this occurs in latest stable Chrome, latest dev build chrome, as well as latest stable FireFox.
I never click the link to log out, I just close the tab/window. And it appears to be quite random too, that I must reenter my credentials.
Thoughts? Solutions?

First of all the S4 is a wonderful device.
and yes if you install the Google edition. it supports a microSD with all your data.
You have to installl the stock system apps with root on your device probably.
yes the S View cover works normally with it.

[Q]Not enough RAM?

hi guyzz:
I have been using my S5 and sometimes music stops playing. fingerprint sensor stops to work but i get to access with alternative code.
I enter but find that touchwiz launcher restarts... I freak out not knowing what happened and check the ram. It is using 90% of avaiable ram. I dont know what uses so much ram. and sometimes camera takes a picture but picture looks broken and same. touvhwiz launcher restarts... sometimes...but frequently.
anyone knows?
add: any happened to see that power button becomes unresponsive? does greenify or gravity screen make perfect culprit? because i uninstalled them, restarted and everuthing is fine now...

I think this is the same issue:

Can you provide more information please? This happens using the stock Music app or it's not related?
Maybe there's a memory leak somewhere. I haven't encountered the issue yet but I always use Play Music.

So is your warranty.
I would love to do the same. as I did with almost every device in the last years. but Knox Status is a realy pain in the ass. My device now responds quicker after switching to another launcher, but it's even snappier after a restart. Touchwiz simply is a pain in the ass.

HAHAHAH that was funny.
yeah, warranty is gone now coz of knox...
but hey without root you cant even change music with volume buttons...
use swipeback, gravity box, titanium backup etc... we are losing so much freedom for warranty.
Once I proof that my device is not defective 4 one month, i will root it...

Jiayu S3 how to upgrade to lollipop

You can find the latest beta lollipop rom over here. It seems fairly bug free, but it is still a beta. http://www.needrom.com/download/s3-lollipop-v5-1/

You can just switch the root access and delete all that you wanted
Thank you so much
Can you please point me to some links about how do I go about installing this. I can get the phone to an adb prompt , and that's just about it.
Also if someone has had lollipop already on his jiayu s3 , it would indeed be very helpful if they posted their experience n terms of what works perfectly and what needs help.
Yes I am rooted and there is something very interesting I found maybe you can check your phone to see the stuffson your discretion

There is a chinese bloatwares called data_ gospel . When I break down the kind of services that runs -see the attached screenshot . They are also suspect. I dont think any of the ought to run. Could you check your phone to see if you got the same thing.

This has been mentioned a few times already. First time, perhaps, on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61141568&postcount=2836.
It is safe to remove.
What it does, nobody knows. If it correlates to the 'easy' app that, some time later, suddenly appeared, nobody knows either.
I do know that, without 'data_ gospel', 'easy' did not come back (yet) on my phone.
