If you are rootred and unlocked, which I assume you are since you successfully flashed to 4.3, try wiping properly, re download the 4.2 ROM, or...just restore your 4.2 backup that you hopefully made prior to flashing the 4.3 ROM..;). Which recovery are you on?

I'm guessing somebody didn't do their wipes before flashing (data, system, cache, dalvak)...... ;)
