After flashing, for better performance go to Settings - Power saving - Power saving mode, turn it ON, go to Restrict performance and uncheck all options if they are on. It will turn Power saving off.


If phone won't boot after flashing the ROM, flash STOCK Kernel


Notes:
- The modem is not included in this ROM. You will keep your current modem. To change modem this will need to be done with Odin.
- This ROM is built for standard DPI. If you wish to change it that is fine but I don’t take requests to fix DPI issues.
- I made this ROM for my own personal enjoyment and it works fine for me. But what works for me may not work for you. I merely put together what I like and use. If you don't like it then please don't flash it or even download it and chose another ROM.

Or you can try to fix Wi-Fi manually:

Using Root Explorer go to /data/ and create a new file name called .cid.info. Press and hold the file for options, click edit text and write murata in it. Save the file with rw-rw-r permission and reboot your phone. Wi-Fi should work now.

Psst, one tip - If I were to create such rom I would definitely precize which base I use. ;)
I mean, in your case, which preview of Port have you implemented - 1,2 or, released today 3?
Just add proper info in OP.

+ mention not only Archi but the rest of the team: Kryten & forumber. :)

Cheers & good luck.

Why even base a ROM on Archi's port? It isn't that stable yet.

I get that people want's to create new ROM's based on his port but this is just ridiculous..

How about a suggestion that instead of making a rom based on @JustArchi port why don't you make an aroma version flashable theme for this S3 kitkat?
As other's concern, this port is not yet stable. And theming is far way beyond this time. It's good if people can focus first about the port development rather than flashing S5 themed ROM that is yet unstable. It'll be more efficient if people can just try to theme Archi port by flashing Aroma S5 theme.
Just a suggestion and opinion :D

    Or you can try to fix Wi-Fi manually:

    Using Root Explorer go to /data/ and create a new file name called .cid.info. Press and hold the file for options, click edit text and write murata in it. Save the file with rw-rw-r permission and reboot your phone. Wi-Fi should work now.
