I actually this time have no idea what happened to this phone, but after reinstalling the OS the phone's camera began to work... Up until a day later it stopped working again. So i moved on from CM10.1 to Blackout ICS, which went well I suppose, up until two days later it died again, it just goes to a black screen when launching the camera app, if i have music playing that will stop, and the phone will be unable to play music for a minute or so, im touching on reformatting the SD Card, but before i do that i want to know if theres any ways to get the camera going again, and if theres any hardware faults (which is unlikely because when it works it works perfectly)

Yes, it still freezes at a black screen, because of the mods applied to my Rom, reinstalling the os is a bit of pain because I have to apply them again

I think you misunderatood the question, if one of your mods are causing the problems, do you know which one? If yes then why do you install it? If no then reinstall the rom with no mods at allfor a few days then add one of the mods and wait a few more days to see if everythings ok and keep doing that until you can identify which mod is causing the problem. Id do a nandroid before installing each mod. Once identified the mod thats the issue, restore the bavkup from just before it was installed and dont reapply the mod, either do without it or look for an alternative

First of all, I would like to thank everyone involved in making our Defy's so awesome.
Thanks to you all, as after getting all the info and help, I was successfully able to
upgraded to CM7 1.0-RC1.5-jordan-signed, and after few initial hiccups everything is working fine. Except the battery drainage issue. And I have been loving the new look and feel of my Defy ever since.
Today Morning. I've started getting a new problem. Whenever I want to call someone and I go to contacts, it force closes itself with following error:-
"The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have restarted the phone and no respite from the problem.
Help please....
Did you change something or install a new app immediately before this started to happen ? Did you restart your phone while it was still connected to the PC or so? Some other people solved this problem by doing a factory reset. But you need to find the specific reason or cause in your case and correct that.

Well, the last thing I did last night was that I installed two ADW themes. and also downloaded few wallpapers.
Do you think, the themes could have created this problem?

As there is, according to my information, no standard cause for this problem, everything could be the reason. Other people reported this error on different devices too and the reasons were diverse.
Some have had the problem after installing a new app, others due to rebooting the phone while it was still connected to the pc. Others made a factory reset and then it worked again and the true reason was never found.
It won't kill you to try and disable/uninstall the new themes or wallpapers (if they are live wallpapers).
Maybe there is another specific well known reason for that out there. In this case I simply don't know one.
If you're lucky, others had the same problem and have identified a more precise cause. Then they will answer hopefully.
I would try to undo the last things you changed before and find out the true cause.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Will uninstall the new themes.
And as you said, Factory reset. If I do that, what exactly will happen.
Asking this because as mentioned before, I'm no longer on the version which came with phone and I am on CM7. so Factory reset will take me to which phase?

well the link tells me what will happen on a stock rom. My question is. If I factory reset on CM7, will it take me to the original state or the default settings of CM7.
Flash cm7 again! maybe it helps.

Recenty started getting few more issues.
1.> Phonebook crashing because of FC's. I'm hardly able to use my phonebook now
2.> Last night, messages stopped working. Again FC's.
3.> Today morning the native camera application stopped working.
And I have done following to overcome all the issues with no luck:-
wipes all cache including devik.
Did factory reset
reflashed with CM7 jordon 1.5
All failed to give me any respite from the errors.
Now I have downloaded cm7-110923-0710-Nightly.
Do let me know if this is an OK one. I've faced way too many errors and afraid of showing it off to anyone now as It might crash anytime.
Much to my disappointment, even flashing to newer nightly, I'm still getting the same errors.
Can someone provide me the 3.4.3-36-1.7 SBF? the one in the link provided earlier is not working.
Or any other solution.
The errors are way too much to ignore, and if this continues then I have to go back to Froyo. But I seriously love the new feel of the phone. All thanks to CM7.

Hi all..
I recently got my HTC One X and unlocked the bootloader, installed Clockwordmod followed by flashing a couple of different ones to see which one I liked.. (All of them are snappy, feel & look great...)
Where the problem lies is when I try to play a game or watch a video (aka accessing the gpu) the system instantly freezes and then reboots..
This problem never occurred using the stock software only became apparent when I started using customs.
It happens with all games I've tried...
Problem is now what shall i do? I made the foolish error of not backing up my stock ICS.
My phone is unbranded, so perhaps I could use someone elses unbranded stock rom to revert back to?
Shall I unroot? Pretty bloody worried to be honest... what if i've broke it?
Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Hey thanks for replying so fast.
I was just looking for what you suggested and cannot find it anywhere in the development section nor in the "everything htc one x" thread...
Am I being blind?
Also, do I just flash it like a normal room? (e.g. put it on my internal memory and flash through recovery?)
Thanks again

Superwipe wipes the system as well, going between different ROMs without doing this may be the cause of your issues. Back up and try it out

If you send the phone for repairs HTC will claim the mainboard needs changing and try to charge you several hundred for it because your bootloader is unlocked.

Have tried this too, no luck.
Any other ideas? The phone works perfect apart from this...
It's a new contract phone and comes with a 30 day fault return, couldn't I unroot it and give that a go? Would they know?.
Bump for this one last time before I try and get it replaced.
Any thing else I can do?
This has been happening for a week or so now and I can't seem to work out why! It seems random that when I open the messaging app it just crashes, then sometimes that seems to cause a chain reaction and everything starts crashing meaning I have to reset it with the power button. The problem tends to persist unless I power down, wait and turn the phone back on. I didn't have the problem on the rom for a long time (Jellybean 4.1.2 for Endeavoru AOSP Build [JZO54K]) it just seemingly started happening at random. I tried a new rom with a new boot.img (aokp_endeavoru-ICJ-V3.4) which seemed to hold the problem off for a few hours but now its started on that one! I've also ruled out any apps because I made sure I didn't restore anything from my gmail account.
Any ideas?

Apps are still crashing and the phone didnt appear with a reinstall i'm just gonna go to a new rom I think, maybe that Android revolution one
I'm a noob here, so plz don't flame me if this isn't posted in exactly the right place.
A few days ago, the 4 touchkeys across the bottom of my T989 suddenly stopped working, out of the blue. I don't know why.
When I bought my T989 in Nov2011 (my 1st android), I got it from a guy who bought it for his son, but his son decided he wanted an iPhone instead, so it was brand new with box and factory screen protector and all that, BUT already rooted and running GB 2.3.5 Juggernaut 3.1. Until now, I didn't want to mess with it because I didn't know jack and didn't want to f*** up my phone, so I've been operating flawlessly without any rom or FW updates for 14 months. But since it's f***ed up now anyway, it's time to get my android s*** figured out.
In the past few days I've flashed stock ICS 4.0.4 AFTER WHICH the touchkeys functioned normally UNTIL Kies said there was newer system FW, and so I updated to that with Kies, and then they didn't work anymore again. NEXT, I found out about the *#2663# code, flashed back to GB 2.3.5 and succeeded in updating the touchkey FW, but that didn't help. I opened the phone and carefully examined the touchkey hardware and (without removing the screen) everything appears perfect. It's clean and there are no pinched or torn ribbon connections from a screwed up factory assembly. Also, I have had my phone in a D30 case since day one and it's been forever since I've dropped it. Obviously, I don't know for sure if this is a hardware or software issue, but the fact that the touchkeys worked again after originally flashing ICS, and the touchkey lights still flash on at startup, is screwing with my mind.
The only thing left to try that I can think of is to revert to the older pre-Kies-update system FW (which, so far, I prefer), but I don't even know if that's possible. Can anyone give me a clue, or any other ideas? Thx.
I kinda lost track of your troubleshooting but I'll give u a suggestion.
1. Flash cwm 5.0.2.7 recovery
2. Flash darkside super.wipe script
3. Flash slim star 2.2 ROM
4. Flash gapps 10/11/12
5. Flash darkside cache.wipe script
6. Reboot and wait 5-10 min
7. Reboot again and setup ur phone.
If your soft keys quit working again, I would be stumped.
PS. I picked cwm 5027 cuz its what I use and if u have any follow up questions I could answer them. Twrp and others are just as valid. I picked slim star ROM because I can confirm everything works also if u have follow up questions I could answer them. If you do not have cwm5027 recovery then DO NOT used the two scripts I mentioned. Good luck

Okay, so, here's what I did:
Using TWRP Touch Recovery 2.3.3.0
Wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, android secure, and factory reset
Flashed slim star 2.2 ROM
Flashed gapps 10/11/12
Wiped cache, dalvik cache
Rebooted & set aside for 11 minutes
Rebooted & setup
It's weird, during bootload the touchkey lights light up (which they always used to with juggernaut), but only dimly, not full strength. But they don't respond to touch...so far...
I like this slim star rom. It's graphically minimalist, but it's loaded with options.

gapps 10-11-12
I guess the other 2 good things about this rom is that it allows me to have all the toggle controls in the status bar which I absolutely can't live without (only having five in the stock roms is like sandpaper on my brain), but also gives me a navigation bar that allows me to replicate the touchkeys I've lost with a replica software navigation bar directly above that I can set up with the same "touchkeys." It takes up some screen area, but I can bump the screen resolution to a higher density to make up for the lost real estate.
The only problem i'm having is with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, even though twrp said it flashed successfully, I don't have the google apps. I tried flashing it again, still no gmail, maps, navigation, etc. (The ones in Google Play I guess are the 121212 versions and aren't compatible.)

Your device is not compatible with this version
Yes, my hardware touchkeys still don't work. I've been slogging away at this for about a week now and I'm ready to give up.
I would run with this slim-star rom because I can put software touchkeys right above my inoperable hardware ones. Plus I really like the rom.
But I have a hurdle still.
Yes, I have the play store, but...
When I go to download the gmail app from the play store, it tells me "Your device is not compatible with this version" and it doesn't give me a download button. It does that for other google apps too.
So now the hurdle is google apps. Why is play store telling me this? Is there something wrong with how I flashed my slim-star? I flashed from a v2.2 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109841.

It turns out that this is a common issue for people updating to ICS via kies. Although not everyone, a substantial number. I guess the only thing left is rolling back whatever u updated but idk how. Sry

Screen Resolution
Actually, I never updated to ICS via Kies, although I did let Kies flash some type of firmware update. I regretted it immediately.
The fact that I changed the screen resolution from 240 might have something to do with playstore not liking my device. I'm going to look into that. LCD Modder Pro might fix it...

I tried to install a ROM that must have not downloaded properly now my Nexus does not boot at all. It doesn't even go to the Google screen, it's just plainly black. The worst part is that it happened last week and I thought the phone had just broken so I got a hardware swap at Best Buy but now I realize it must have been the ROM. I don't want to go back to Best Buy this quickly (not even 24 hours later...) Does anyone know how I might fix it?

I installed a kernel too, both from CWM. Maybe it was the kernel. and no, I couldn't get to recovery but I managed to fix it. I can't post links because I'm a new user but it involved installing omap drivers and running a batch file of some sort that made it bootable. Even though the screen was totally black I guess the computer could still detect it with some work.
Awesome!

Congrats! That's gotta feel good to resurrect a "dead" phone!
I've tried to use the OMAP flash to fix mine, but I still can't get into Odin mode (even tho the drivers and bat file seem to install successfully). If you have any tips, then please let me know.
