Most custom ROMs already have this done but if you're stuck on a stock build this little ditty will definitely improve the performance of your phone ...

I lost my backup of my original factory ROM, I tried the RC ICS ROM and it did not work. I had cyanogenmod 7.1 alpha running but now it is very unstable. I have a series problem where the phone options screen keeps randomly popping up, without me pressing the top power button. I would now like to revert back to the stock Sense 3.0 ROM that shipped with the Sensation. If anyone can help me I would so grateful as this is a super annoying problem to deal with.
I have Revolution, Clockmod Recovery and have tried multiple ROM's and find they all have some sort of bug
Another thing, the battery life has deteriorated to the point that I can not even get more than a half day of standby with a quarter of usage.
Please explain how I can get the factory ROM back on the phone with no bugs or issues. Thanks.
have you tried any other ICS ROM? majority of them are stock with minor tweaks,
insertcoin 4.3.1 is pretty stable
Click Me!
I know you'll probably do so already, but make sure you do a full wipe before flashing the stock ROM
I tried the RCmix ICS but when I installed it, all that happened was it kept popping up a dialog box non stop and was unable to use it so I reverted back to the Cyanogenmod 7.1
Can you please let me know where I can get this ROM, I will give it a shot.
RUU Roms can be found in thread

i am currently running cleanrom 5.0 and flashed the ktoonz kernal kt747 and needed help with the KTweaker app that was installed with it, im a noob with roms, kernels,etc.., ive been learning a lot and fell confident flashing and all but can anyone help me with the settings in the KTweaker app, im mainly looking for battery performance and this kernel was reccomended but after 1 day of running it my battery performance was horriable, thank you in advance for any help.
I'm on cleanROM 5.0 also. I tried the other kernals but ended up flashing the rom over again and kept the default kernal as I am getting great battery and performance. 14 hours and 19 minutes at 20% battery, with 4 hours of screen on time. If this helps any. I know you were asking about ktoons but thought I would give you this.
thanks i liked the battery performance on cr5 just fine, just was trying to get a little more, and like i said im still a noob can i dirty flash the cr5 or do i have to clear everything like when i first flashed rom?
All I wiped was both the caches and flashed the roms again. All my apps stayed. Everything works like a charm.
I want to flash this to my rooted but stock
I want to flash this to my rooted but stock phone... I have not changed recovery because I want the updates.... Is there a way to do this where I will continue to recieve ota updates.... totally updated at this point to jellybean... I kept having problems with roms and am sick of messing around with them.
Side note how is your reception after the last update .... mine pretty much sucks.
Thank you

No you cant. And for the reception part there is nothing you can do other then flashing a ICS radio with odin but then I think your ota will fail too. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
If you wanna flash a JB leaked radio (besides K3) then you will have to rock a custom recovery
I've got a rooted XT926 with unlocked bootloader. I've flashed plenty of custom ROMs on the phone including ones running 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. I'm gradually moving back to earlier stock-based ROMs because, while the extra features are cool, I grew tired of random main functions that didn't work properly and my battery life was getting progressively worse.
Now I'd like to know for sure I'm running the stock kernel. How do I determine this? My kernel version is 3.0.31-g101ca72. The date of "Thu May 30 18:22:06 CDT 2013" also appears in this subheading of Settings/About Phone.
If I'm not running the stock kernel, where do I find it? I've done plenty of searching but can't seem to find a downloadable stock kernel that I could simply flash from TWRP recovery. Most of the posts of this nature are about unrooting and restoring stock. I don't want to do that. I want my phone to remain rooted but I'd like to know that I'm either on the stock kernel or can find it and flash it.
Not really sure how to check, but if you fastbooted back to stock you have the stock kernel. If you found a stock based ROM and flashed via recovery, unless stated otherwise in the post it should have the stock kernel. And have you tried arrrghhh's kernel? It works really well. It's for all msm8960 (or whatever msm we are) devices so it will work as long as you download the stock version.

What would be the point of using arrrghhh's kernel with a stock rom? Or, what does his kernel do differently than the stock one?
At the moment I'm running RageHD 2.3, a straight-forward stock-based ROM running 4.1.2. It's doing pretty much what I want -- everything works, smooth and solid, better battery life than I was getting with 4.2.2 and 4.3 ROMs and improved signal strength. Still, I read from time to time that custom ROMs tend to give improved functionality and lessened bloat but that they also shorten battery life, sometimes substantially. To test this myself I need to know that either I'm on a stock kernel now or that I can find and flash a stock kernel.
I am very much a noob. Hope this is in the right thread. Just want to say thank you to the developers of:
[ROM][4.3.1] Slimbean With Halo Unofficial build 2.0[10/24/2013][Houstonn's Adreno Kernel]
It flashed so smoothly it was incredible. It is the only custom ROM that my E970 will run properly. Most of the others would not even flash, stuck in boot loop or soft brick, camera not working, no WiFi, etc. My phone was shutting down on it's own and I could not solve the problem until I found this Rom. Now my phone does not shut down on it's own, but it performs even better than with stock and the only other custom ROM SnowLoepard that I could flash to it. On those it would do the mysterious shut down thing,
So a big thank you to Slimbean developers, you save me a lot of money not having to by new hardware. :good:
I'm currently on a custom kernel and rom for 4.3 but I'm having terrible battery life and I'm tired of flashing new roms to get the same result. As for some of my friends that have a verizon S3 phone, they get better battery life and don't have all the problems that I continue to have.
Is there a way to go back to complete stock and let my phone do the OTA update and not have to worry about this phone anymore?
I know I must sound crazy for wanting my phone to go back to normal, but I'm tired of having all the problems and trying to find new roms to have them fail on me, even though everyone else seems to be having good luck with them.
So again I'm a Verizon S3 on 4.3, Baseband VRUCML1. Ktoonz kernel on CleanRom 8
