When you say "The thread" I'm assuming your talking about the EMBRYO thread? and if so yes I did. I read before i did the flash. If this thread is not the one your talking about then please be more clear of which thread you are talking about since there are a number of threads to choose from.
I have reflashed did cashe clear. made sure the md5sum is correct

Yeah i was talking about the embryo thread, in case this happened to someone else already then it might have been talked about. If you can't install any camera from the market it may be hardware. I would revert to your previous nandroid and see if it still works in that Rom

My Findings With TWRP

Well I was using Clockwork Mod. Then I foolishly Installed Clean Rom 4.5 final while using clockwork mod..got a soft brick -:splash screen would not boot...no access to the recovery...could not flash a recovery...but access to boot-loader :-...
Got the bricked sorted out and decided to move to TWRP..That didn't go well at all
Issues found after flash
1: Google contacts would not sync at all...no matter Rom I used
2: My dialer crashed...no matter Rom I used
Moved back to clockwork and all issues was solved
This Is only my observation and It may be different to others

You better title your thread "stupid I". The reason why, should be obvious.

If you have nothing good to say its best you keep your rear shut..if you don't agree why comment..
No one here can prove that my issue wasn't caused by TWRP..what I do know is that when I used TWRP I had those issues then I went back to CWM and It didn't.
In all rom installation I did full system wipe..and the Issue only happened with TWRP

A recovery causing rom issue ? First one i hear hey reflash the same rom whit twrp and let us know how it goes smarty..

Did it more than once and it didn't happen with cmw and yes a recovery can cause a rom issue
way back in the htc desire days certain rims could not be flash using certain recoveries because it caused issues...some users found that with a certain recovery the rom was more stable than the other

Just beware flashing something with an aroma installer with cwm. Bad mojo.

Lol make your OP clear you have flashed a rom whit a recovery not recommended FOR the rom ...
You didn't know it so you post this ..
I guess all you had to do on the rom thread is either read OP clearfully or ask of it is ok to flash whit twrp

yes it happened to me too google contacts sync and dialer crash and yes i found that twrp is the culprit of not clearing the data correctly.onle fix i found is switching recovery to cwm,clear the data,switch back to twrp and install a new rom and worked for me.

I've been using TWRP since the beginning on multiple One X's and never have had a problem.

Maybe OP didnt wipe correctly..

i love it, being able to mount usb storage from recovery is convenient and important (saved me from having to lock bl, then flashing stock)

As I said the soft brick was because I used the wrong recovery..that wasn't the issue..I already sorted that out..
my phone was stock..I rooted then flash TWRP then started flashing roms and I noticed the issue after that..I wasn't asking for help on this thread
all I was doing was letting people know what was happening to me while i was using that recovery..If xda belongs to the guys that never made a mistake while using a phone and don't want no one else to post then i wont..but all I was simply doing was letting people know what brought me to that point

thank you for pointing that out...maybe someone else might start having issues and think the problem is the phone then they will see TWRP was the culprit ....this is part of what XDA is about

not all phones were made the same..same name but different batch or factory ..not because it didn't happen to you does not mean it will never happen to someone else

I did all the wipe TWRP menu had to offer but TWRP was not wiping clean enough

Some people were made perfect and never made a mistake..they can do any and or everything so since there is nothing else to do with the life that they have they will sit and read a post and would be quick to make a judgment or start calling names..I admitted I made a mistake and I fixed it..then I found an issue while using TWRP only to point it out...The person that made the recovery may see an issue in the recovery that could be affecting certain phones and fix it..or someone else might had a similar issue and just give some input about it..
most of us are here because we like tweaking what we have and in doing so some make mistakes and others learn from it..its what XDA is about

Google contacts and dialer being messed up are known issues with CWM. They persist even after flashing other ROMs. It was likely a residual issue from CWM, not TWRP.

com.android.phone Not responding on CleanROM

Hello
I'm running CleanROM 2.0 and whenever I want to make a call, com.android.phone stops responding. I looked for a solution in similar threads, most of them suggested removing FB Sync, which I already had off.
Btw, I'm using the phone on GSM right now. Can anyone help?

I would say wipe both caches and re flash the ROM. If that doesn't do it, wipe data.
The first suggestion is what I would recommend in any circumstance while troubleshooting.

I already tried wiping and reflashing, it worked for few hours and then stopped again... I think there's an app that is causing this problem. I even tried to fix permissions, it didnt work as well

Sounds like it might be the ROM to me. Not to sound like an arrogant a-hole but, have you asked in it's thread? You'll probably get a lot better troubleshooting there IMO.

I thought that as well, so I flashed Beans ROM, got the same problem.
Could it be because I'm using the phone for GSM and I'm outside the US now, so after flashing the ROM the phone is not activating?

[Q] Random Reboots?

Hello. I recently purchased a SIII from eBay and got it activated today. The first time they booted it up at the Verizon store I noticed what I thought was an unlock icon towards the bottom of the screen (which I am no longer seeing).
Once the phone was activated it performed a system update to the latest OS release. Now that I have got the phone home it keeps randomly rebooting and then it will get stuck in a boot loop. I pull the battery, it will boot as normal, and then it will randomly reboot again. I have performed a factory reset/data wipe but that did not help.
I did search a bit on here but didn't see anything similar to what I'm experiencing. Any ideas on what my issue is? Thanks in advance for your help.

My GS3 randomly reboots too, I am running SynergyROM with ziggys kernel, seems like a lot of people have problems with this phone.

Have to agree. Sure there might be a couple people that have had problems, but the overwhelming majority of people are quite pleased with their handsets.

Sounds like the phone was rooted. If it had a custom rom and you took the ota verizon update, that could cause problems.
Edit. Wrong link.

If you want to stay on stock rom, follow instructions on section #6.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. I followed step #6 from the link you provided and the phone has been up for over an hour without rebooting. So far so good!

Well I spoke to soon. It just rebooted again. I'm starting to think that it must be hardware issue. I guess I should go back to the seller to see if they'll take the phone back..... :-/

I just loaded the latest OTA and it seemed to make the random reboots more frequent.

When you say "loaded" are you just flashing a stock ROM or did you Odin back to stock?

I did the ODIN back to stock (using the ROM that was in step #6 of the above link). After that booted the phone up and it indicated there was an OTA available. I downloaded that (about 30 Mb); performed the update; and then the phone seemed to start the random reboots more frequently.

I didn't mean that everybody has problems when I said a lot and maybe it isn't "a lot" but I have seen numerous people posting on here about there problems whether its random reboots or screen flashing/flickering or w/e it may be and not just here I know a few people with this phone (my wife, father, brother, mother in law, and myself.) And I have had 2 problems with this phone, random reboots and WiFi never wants to connect and my wife has the sim card issue, my dads phone has problems with screen and WiFi, idk what the deal is. That's 3 phones out of 5 that has problems and idk if the sim card issue even counts but still.
I'm not saying this is a bad phone or anything, other than these issues it has been a great phone the best phone I have ever owned.

I'm assuming this is on sense. Its probably due to lpa and the alsa drivers. Try changing the line in build.prop lpa.decode=true to false and reboot.
Oh and BTW..if you want to make sure if its truly hardware related flash my xylon ROM. If you still hear distortion then, its hardware.

Would this work for ViperXL? I posted a thread just below this in regards to bluetooth audio issues I'm b'lievin' to be driver-related.

it should work, also many of the popular sound mods have been updated since cleanrom 5.1 is getting relatively dated and doesn't really include any sound mods you could flash aznrice2k4 sound mod, new awesome beats or the new acid audio.
here is my list of sound mods hox audio.txt

well tried going all stock with ruu still the same problem later rooted again nd tried the alsa thing in build.prop didnt work also tried all the music mods but it didnt work either. maybe its a hardware problem afterall.. if any1 can reccomend something else.. can it be releated to s off in anyway? thanks every1

Any other alternatives?

can it be due to low cpu? i had set it once to min 192. now back to 810.. pls help

In all reality it sounds like a blown speaker.

Ya it very well may be blown but I did have same issue , I think I had corrupted audio files by installing on top of another audio app. It can be tricky repairing

If phone is under warranty return may be the best solution, lol make sure and post back what hboot and android version you get with new phone, just curious if it will come updated ( unlikely but curious)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

ok guys it was my fault.. nothing wrong with the software. just tat dust trapped in the speaker.. cleaned with a brush. now all ok

My issue resolved with flashing the 2.20 RUU so the ViperXL ROM was definitely suspect. If not, what else could the RUU resolve that ViperXL could not? Looks like I'll be stuck on AT&T's JB update (downloading now) and no ViperXL for me. Bluetooth audio is far too important.
