Every 5.1 ROM is causing random reboots. What am I missing? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have tried multiple unoffical versions of Cyanogen, as well as the official 05/19 build and OctOS 5.1.1 and I am still getting random reboots. Using TWKP and always doing a full wipe.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try this recovery.

Take out the SD card and format your entire phone. Then flash your ROM. Most l ROMs have a few bugs. If you aren't down for that, use enewmans srx3.

The random reboots seem to be happening on other phones that also use the msm8960 chip.

Nardholio has acknowledged that devs are aware of this, but it is proving to be difficult to fix. LiquidSmooth is the only lollipop ROM on the S3 I haven't had reboots on.

So far I have not found any problems! The camera works, initially (few min after restarting) the camera was not working, but then it has been fine. LTE works, wifi works, bluetooth seem to work (although I have not tried connecting to any device yet). Everything seem extremely smooth. Of course I am light user, so perhaps their might be things that do not work, but I have not found them yet. The battery seems to last longer now, but I have just started using this for 10 hrs ish.
I have flashed the cm-12-20141214-UNOFFICIAL-d852.zip one, so I don't know about the cm-12-20141215-UNOFFICIAL-d852.zip.
** All thanks to developer
If anyone else has also been using this ROM and have had any problems, please post. It would be nice to know. Or if there is a list somewhere, link to it.
Flashing the new ROM
Would I have to wipe the system before flashing?
Cant seem to get rid of the in/outgoing calls speaker issue.
(Flashed e modem, kk mod modem nothing works)
The problem :
Each call i make or receive sounds fine but after, between 5-15 sec speaker gets muted.
Did a clean install,
Running 16/12 build.
Any ideas? Solutions?

It's not recommended as it may not clear some problems. Your can always try and clean flash later if you are experiencing problems.
Hi
First of all thanks for the ROM - it is great
Second - have small question: One of the apps my company using required to send SMS for activation (something similar to 2-way activation process from Google). This SMS sent from "Unknown" number in general. The problem that I never received this SMS on the ROM.
Is there any privacy setting that I'm missing?
Thanks.
question
Okay so i am very new to xda i just have a quick question is the sound working for the d852? Also what are the known bugs and could i use this as a daly driver?
Bluetooth
I'm having difficulty with this ROM / Bluetooth. My LG G Watch R will pair but refuses to connect. I have no such problems with Kit Kat, but seems to be a problem with Lollipop. Anybody else having this problem, or any ideas on how to fix it?
basketbuild build gives errors
I tried the 01042015 build from the basketbuild mirror, and twrp gave me errors when I tried to install the .zip. I luckily also had a copy of the 12292014 build which I was able to use in the meantime (first flash on my D852).
Just thought I'd mention it. Not sure if there's a problem with the build/file, or if for some reason it was just for me (I tried downloading with chrome and ie).

GAPPS Error
I flashed the ROM and GAPPS from the links provided in the description but as soon as every app gets installed and the system is initialized, I'm peppered with dialogue boxes saying "Unfortunately, -App- has stopped working." for every single app. It just isn't enabling me to do anything else or go to any settings. I've tried factory resetting and flashing over again but to no use. For what is this error occuring? Is it the GAPPS package? Or any other mistake? Please guide. It's really annoying and I'm unable to use my phone.
Thank You.

In twrp it starts to flash checks the md5 passes and just sits there... I can only lock and unlock the screen.. I have tried flashing this for a week still no luck. I even let it sit for 30 mins still nada. Then I gotta pull the battery

You assume all responsibility if you flash this or anything from this thread. With official builds out the Google Drive link will remain valid for 4 months afterwards I will delete all builds contained within due to limited space available.

I don't do bug fixes, I just do builds. If something is broken then you'll have to wait till someone submits a patch to CyanogenMods Jira. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
I do not own this device, so i can't test any builds myself. I try to make regular builds for a friend and felt like sharing them with everyone on xda.

I'm waiting to hear back to see if it works. The 5.0 gapps should work there were only minor changes to art in the 5.1, the other hooks should work since 5.1 was a minor update over all. If I stumble upon some 5.1 gapps I'll update.
Added a link for 5.1 gapps if the 5.0 don't work.

Camera was still an issue with the latest cm 12.0. More than likely it'll get fixed there before they get it working in 12.1. If they get it working.

Other than the camera the build boots just fine and seems pretty snappy/responsive. Can't say anything about battery life because i only had it installed long enough to test it out

Nope, camera was till broken on cm12.0 when I started building these
So I eked a build out of my server, I'm pushing it to google drive now. Just for reference if anyone was wondering. It takes approximately 5~6 hrs for a full build on a non hyperthreaded Intel core 2 duo with 8GB of ddr2 ram
I'm trying a new upload method that might allow for automated google drive uploads. Please verify the MD5 sum after downloading before flashing.

According to one person on the Q&A thread the cameras should be working in the April 9th build

What's the most stable or bug-free custom ROM?

Is there any ROM that is completely bug-free, or at least doesn't have basic features broken? I've seen lot of threads about custom ROMs where a worrying number people report serious issues. Like no GPS, no deep sleep, severe battery drain, broken modem, etc.
For what it's worth, this is for a rooted E980 20g with CWM recovery 6.0.4.4 that has never had a custom ROM (still has stock Kit Kat 4.4.2). I want something based on Lollipop but I'd settle for Kit Kat if it meant no issues. I'm kind of a noob, so the fact that there are seemingly dozens of custom ROMs has overwhelmed me...

There is a quick-fix for camera in forums; for blackouts - try with Wildkernel, build 4 or 5.

You're flashing kernel, not ROM. No need for data wiping, just flash kernel and reboot.

That is not even remotely feasible. It would takes weeks of research and testing, and the entire time the device would be useless, given the high chance of major bugs. There's just too many custom ROMs available for your suggestion to be practical.

There are 3-4 actively built AOSP-based custom ROM's for E980 (CyanogenMod, BlissPop, SlimLP... I'm not mentioning hack-roms made from stock), and you can test them in maybe 3-4 days, if you use each for 24h at least. Total time to backup, flash and restore is maybe 1.5 hours so it isn't a big thing, can be done at night, right before you go to sleep.
I can give you recommendations what to test (which isn't quite necessary when you have a choice between 3-4 ROMs, isn't it?); I can't tell you which ROM is 'the best' simply because what is maybe good for me is not good for everyone else.
Thing is, if you want to try custom ROMs, you try CM first. If it satisfies, ok, you use it. if it doesn't, you go and test another one. Back in the time I was searching for perfect ROMs, there were mabye 10-12 source-built roms (again, I'm skipping those stock-based hack-roms) and I've tested every one of them in course of two-three months, searching for the one which would work great and is customizable to the great extend.
So yeah, changing software on your phone actually involves some testing and reading, not getting everything 'pre-chewed' and ready.
Latest cm11 snapshot (not cm12.1 or cm12) this is pretty stable and is kitkat 4.4.4 based.
Justlovejoy cm11 is better than the cm11 snap12 , since the dev modify the ROM some more. The battery life is better than the most ROM you're able to find IMO. Here is the download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60430532

Is there any ROM that is completely bug-free, or at least doesn't have basic features broken? I've seen lot of threads about custom ROMs where a worrying number people report serious issues. Like no GPS, no deep sleep, severe battery drain, broken modem, etc.
For what it's worth, this is for a rooted E980 20g with CWM recovery 6.0.4.4 that has never had a custom ROM (still has stock Kit Kat 4.4.2). I want something based on Lollipop but I'd settle for Kit Kat if it meant no issues. I'm kind of a noob, so the fact that there are seemingly dozens of custom ROMs has overwhelmed me...

The SlimLP port for our device is really nice and stable. MMS works on it as well, which is not available with stability on other ROMs. Also it is very smooth and has a nice battery life as well.

ShadySquirrel maintains the SlimLP ROM and it is really nice.

Yep! I was installed Slim LP on my e989 and work very very good!
I was tested with Cyanogen (w/o radio) , BlissPop (great ROM but random reboots and black screens) and finally SlimLP w/o any problems in 4 days. The battery life time is so good. I downspeed muy procesador from 1.7 to. 1.3 and The time is incrrased some hours.

I am in the same boat.
CM works for me, but the screen turning black and requiring a reboot makes it not really usable. Especially if you use your phone for work, because in the middle of typing a texting or something your phone screen will go black and you will need to reboot. (Although the screen is black, it is still responsive so if you have good enough memory to know where you are pressing on the screen I guess you can send what you need before rebooting)
Tried blisspop, but same issue.
Tried installing the wild turkey kernel but it puts my phone in a constant reboot loop, and if it does load then everything is broken. Tried installing it 3 different ways via factory reboot.
Also, every rom install/update for CM and Blisspop, I had to install the audio fix rom from dangdavy to get audio on phone calls. My Plantronics Voyager Edge also doesn't work with voice assistant and the mobile hotspot does not work.
