Get the rooted update for Odin and flash. That will fix your problem if you want to stay on stock firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andre4200:
Not sure what you mean? download odin and the rogers image and just flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nabbu:
You're not bricked.

I actually just did this a couple hours back. I don't think the Toolkit is able to flash ROOT, on Jelly Bean, without causing the ROM to be unable to boot.

Grab the stock firmware from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

Do what the instructions say and then flash it in Odin as instructed and you'll be fixed and back to stock with root.

After I did this I downloaded this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031840

Which is a ONE-CLICK Odin program(Jelly Bean 4.1.1) that makes it impossible to brick by accident.

Don't try to root a Jelly Bean rom with the tool kit or this will happen again. lol :p

By the way I suggest you flash the original stock firmware and not the JB first JUST IN CASE. I don't know if a dirty install of Jelly bean would be good for your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andre4200:
Thnx a lot dude cant wait till this is fixed this would be my 3rd phone that ive messed up...and i find that the JB 4.1.1 is garbage its making my phone really laggy and is the only reason i wanted to root and flash my phone with a different rom was looking at Omega JB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nabbu:
You know the reason the phone is being jank with Jelly bean 4.1.1 is probably due to a dirty install. Try to wipe data/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, format system, format data and then use the one-click I gave you to get the Rooted 4.1.1 JB. If the battery is bad you can use the app "Root-App uninstaller" from Google Play to uninstall any apps you don't like. I deleted a LOT of bloatware and useless stuff like S-Voice, live wallpapers, etc. Then you should use "Battery Calibration" from Google Play to calibrate the battery....obviously. :p

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andre4200:
thnx so much dude it worked not sure how to wipe data/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, format system format data can i do that on my phone or are there programs i need to install? but the apps ill get thnx a lot dude.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nabbu:
All that wiping lingo I just used is meant for a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod recovery or TWRP recovery so that the phone is wiped clean so as to not cause errors or battery problems in the new ROM. TO get CWM(clock work mod) download the app "Rom Manager" from Google Play and click "Install custom recovery" and it should flash the recovery(if you're Rooted). Once you have the custom recovery installed you access it by holding volume UP + Home + Power after you restart your phone. Just for your information Rom Manager has a feature that lets you boot into recovery just by clicking "reboot into recovery" so check it out. =]
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spriteboost:
i read on another forum well i'll quote it but anyway will there be a way to unlock it if well you forgot to backup which i did like an idiot and no longer on stock wondering if its possible to obviously unlock it yet

"This is a warning to ALL USERS who have currently set up their Google Wallet account to work with their phone, wether on Stock or 3rd party ROMS.

MAKE SURE that you reset the accounts inside the Google Wallet Application before you go into your ClockworkMod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project or any other 3rd party Recovery partition.

IF YOU DO NOT do this, and then WIPE DATA from the recovery you WILL lock the secure partition of the NFC Chip, and you will be UNABLE to ever access it again (for what we are currently aware of.)

Stay Safe, make backups, and always READ TWICE. "

Okay, I googled for "nfc secure partion wipe data" and I think I figured out what you are talking about.

Here is a thread from the S3 forums:

I can confirm that I set up Wallet on stock, then unlocked, rooted, flashed CWR, flashed CM10.1 nightly, and then set back up Wallet and I have had no issues with it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My Gnexi:
It's called Secure Element (not partition) and it is assumed that Google Wallet was fixed so this in no longer an issue.

I could find no reports of this more recent than August so I think it's safe.

Atleast until we hear again on someone that bricked their Secure Elemnt.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlsmy:
This issue is MUCH more complex than just "flashing ROMs bricks Secure Element". There are only 2 things you should take away from this:

1. If you want to wipe the phone (either through a custom recovery or stock recovery), please reset the Google Wallet from inside the app, as this ensures that the SE won't brick

2. There are NO GUARANTEES on what bricks or un-bricks the SE. The last fiasco was with the Evo 4G LTE, which would brick the SE on a regular factory reset (unknown if this was an HTC recovery issue or problem with their H-Boot or partition layout)

So just be safe. Who knows, maybe they fixed it? Anyways, if you brick it, just re-lock the bootloader, and call Google saying the "Secure element stopped responding after doing a factory reset of the phone".

I've been having this issue for a while, occasionally the phone would lag/stutter when simply swiping through home screens or the apps drawer (With no applications open) it would still run games and apps perfectly smooth though. Only way to fix the lag is to turn wi-fi off and back on, restart the phone, or wait for the lag to go away. Any thoughts on this? has anyone been experiencing this? I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anyone experiencing this.

Did a factory reset but lag still occurred occasionally.

If you have a Google Play Music widget on your home screen, that may be the cause of the occasional lag. I removed the widget and so far no lag.

I'll add my voice to this thread.

I've had mine since the weekend. Yesterday night, it started stuttering, in exactly the way you said. I restarted, it went away for a bit, then came back. I tried killing all running applications, made no difference. Another restart fixed it and its smooth as it was again.

Wonder if it is the WiFi causing it?

Incidentally, I was reading some custom kernels fixed the problem for some, but I'd rather not get back into all that nonsense (I've had enough flashing ROMs to last a lifetime thus far).

It's normal because it's Android.

Android lags. And will forever. It lagged on the G1, it lags on the N4. It will lag on the N5.

It will lag until Google decides to fix Android.

All the people who claim that their device doesn't lag are lying. Simple as that.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
Not getting into the debate of whether they lag or not, if you have a normal Nexus 4 you should know this phone at this stage is lag free.

After flashing back to stock kernel the phone lagged like a Galaxy Nexus before project butter. Since the kernel shouldn't be the problem (stock ROM as well), I have no idea which app is causing it. I used Touch Control to achieve s2w, and a couple to disable NavBar and gestures. After un-installing and installing the apps now it's normal as ever... Weird.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dralways:
I'm guessing that the complainer's complaint is due to setup somewhere along the line. Be it hardware, software whatever. I've had many many Nexus 4s and can say that some do perform much better than others right out of the box.

What was causing my stutterinf /lag was the "my library " in Google play widget :banghead:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrone:
How do you fix this? I disable all widgets from autostarts app but it only reduces the micro stuttering on window/transition/animator scale animations.

I sometimes face this micro stuttering too on entering app center for the first time, entering and swiping the second time after the screen turned off doesn't stutter.

Factory reset with google factory image reduce the micro stuttering of the transition animation like a lot. Changing custom kernels could not help either after several reboots.

I also found that do not enable developer options from the start make the phone smooth all way long.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djnima:
Resolved

Yeah, I had the exact same issue on the brand new phone after a few days. Indeed it was the Library widget. I think it happens especially when you have imported a lot of music or something, so the library widget tries to parse all of them and hence slows it down (because before i add music it was there and was smooth).

I just removed it (just drag it out of the home screen) and it's smooth like butter now. Thanks!

Also as an alternative, I use the music player widget (cuz thats the most i care about for my library).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dylan. Veldhuis:

This issue was ultimately solved when I requested a replacement from Google. I have not experienced the lag/stutter when swiping through home screens and menus since the replacement device. I recommend you to RMA your current Nexus 4 if you have tried all the troubleshooting and have not resolved the lag.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dylan. Veldhuis:
how long did it take them to replace it?? thanks for the reply but a pity that I will have to go without my nexus for a while, i thought it would be a software issue not a hardware defect :( Also, do you think it will be fixed in the next update?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPowered:
You won't have to go without a nexus during the replacement process. Basically you open a RMA case and Google sends you a replacement device (took a week to Canada) then you send your current faulty nexus when you have received the replacement device.

I would say if the lag bothers you, just have a replacement done instead of waiting for an update that may or may not help resolve the issue.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions.
