So what's the final word on TWRP? Is it still usable? What version is everyone running that is having problems with it?

I want to upgrade to 10.2, but really don't want to leave TWRP.

Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] necropuppy:
I have been using twrp and haven't experienced any issues besides the one time where all restores were falling inexplicably, removing the twrp directory of both sd cards fixed that issue.

Here's the link from imoseyon rootzwiki thread. This kernel is experimental from what i understand. http://www.box.com/shared/fprez5sq1kx66fsu8znx

However, Gideon just dropped a 4.3 BMS kernel. So I'm flashing that asap.

Go into developer options and set root access to apps + adb, you should have root back.

So no one else is having com.android.phone constantly crash on them? I've redownloaded and flashed several times, I'm using the latest firmware, tried both stock kernel and leankernel, and tried switching to different network modes. I just don't know what's wrong here. It only happens when I lose signal, but I live in an area where there isn't very good signal so this is getting bothersome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
I haven't been having issues. I don't go into areas where I have terrible signal often, but when I do, I don't experience com.android.phone crashes. I'm not sure what's happening. :/

TWRP 2.6 works perfectly for me, and even got me out of a pretty crappy situation I got myself in. No problems whatsoever. However, I haven't tried to restore any TWRP backups, so following the other guy's advice might be best, in that situation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I'm having those same crashes in the now signal area I live in. I'm going back to eight eight or a newer version to see if they do the same thing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PerCompLLC:
I seem to remember having issues like that in the past... The way I resolved it was by clearing data for the phone app. Give that a try before you start over - it can't hurt.

I was having that error pop up last night when I was in a bad signal area. Didn't happen too much though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yznhmr:
Seems like the newest lean kernel was causing it.. I reflashed just the rom.. and the error went away..

tried both lk_s3vzw_aosp_43-v7.2.zip, and lk_s3vzw_aosp_43-v7.2 exp 2.zip both caused the phoen error..

flashed rom, and error went away..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
This was fixed in early cm10 builds by checking then unchecking the option to "link notification and ringer volumes" in the volume panel. Might want to give that a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tarpit_Carnivore:
That worked, toggling the sound link and a restart made them come back.

Here is a bit of an update. I do not believe it has been mentioned. A few users, myself included, have mentioned that hangouts video chat does not work. If you try to make an outgoing video call, it will freeze and hang. This has been reported. If you receive a video call from another hangouts user, it works just fine. Hope to see a fix soon. Anyone know if it is working 100% on the Invisiblek build from today?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
It's working 100% on mastas 08/09 build. Just placed and outgoing hangout call and video didn't freeze.

Edit: I'll add that this was a full clean flash. Not sure if it matters or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SovietKommando:
I get it on both the stock kernel and LeanKernel though ('m using the LK 8.0 test build for 4.3). I think I figured out why it's crashing though. Whenever it tries to register with a network operator, but can't connect to a tower to do so, the app crashes. I think I confirmed this by going to Settings>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, and tapping either "Search networks" or "Choose automatically". It will either say error searching for networks, or just crash giving the same "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" pop-up. I'll drive out to the nearest place where I know I can get some signal and try again there, see if it will finally stop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Interesting, mine is working now too on 8/9. Not sure why now, but I'm not complaining! Could be that when I was trying it before, I had a weak 4G connection. Or, it could be that I did a few things in succession this time before placing my first video call.

This time:

1. Took a video with the front facing camera and played it.

2. Received a hangouts video call before trying to place one.

3. Placed a hangouts video call over WiFi.

4. Placed a hangouts video call over 4G connection.

I think it has more to do with a weak 4G connection that I have at my job, but not sure. Well, I hope it continues to work. Everything is now working very well for me. Masta is doing a great job and he is from NJ which makes me like his ROM even more!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
I am from jersey too.. Jackson right by 6 flags..

i love this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
It has nothing to do with the connection. It's the camera drivers that were screwed up. I think most of those issues have been ironed out. My hangouts video chat works first thing after a fresh reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhammyDroid:
Others have mentioned this, but I will mention it as well. Updating the superuser binary from Koush's Superuser app breaks superuser on the ROM.

The only way to fix it is to reflash the ROM to re-gain superuser back. Changing the superuser option within the developer settings will not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdana:
I'm having the same problem with the 4.3 gpe camera. Every time I try to install it fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aarongauntt:
My SU isn't working from the jump. Tried a fresh flash and toggling the options, my toggle isn't working anymore though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhammyDroid:
Try changing the setting (to Apps + Adb) within the developer option, then reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slambert27:
If you have already tried Whammy Droid's suggestion and still having issues, try the flashable zip for SuperSu found here http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip?retrieve_file=1 . This is what I had to do to get titanium backup to work.

Masta - I must say things are going really smooth on your latest build (notice no one is reporting issues). My battery life has been awesome too after letting the ROM run for a day. Lastly, I clean installed this ROM (10.2) on 7/31 and have dirty flashed since. Never had root issues or had to install another root app. Just wanted to put that out there because it would otherwise sound like most people have had root problems.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guywmustang:
I think it's just the kernel. As soon as I flashed LeanKernel 8.0 test the battery life on this ROM went from mediocre to outstanding. There must be something still going on kernel related as it just burns battery (like a 3% per hour standby rate).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris Hansen:
Going to have to agree. I'm getting the best battery life I've ever had out of my S3. Granted it doesn't have a ton of use, but I did make a call, send/receive several texts, use the camera (not Focal), and web browsing. This kind of use would have equated to a max of like 15-17 hours for me.

Just did a clean flash of 8/9 and messaging is force closing on my when I try to use the mms recipient selector. I've tried clearing messaging data to no avail. Any other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No FC's on my phone bringing up the list and selecting a recipient. I have heard others with this issue before, but don't recall the 'fix'. My guess it has to do with how a contacts phone number or something is formatted. Meaning a country code or something is causing the crash.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
So weird... I haven't made any calls today, and I'm in a good 3G area, so I'm not sure why the CPU usage keeps climbing.

Alright, I'll go ahead and clear the data now so my music has a chance to download before I leave work. Thanks for the heads up.

For me 8/12 works great, but battery is noticeably worse then 8/9. I checked battery status, and showed phone as 50% with only 1 second of foreground, and over 2 hours of CPU total. Quite a bit for only having 2 calls today, each only 10 minutes.

EDIT:

As above, just tested and torch does not work on my end either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Torch is a no go here too. Tried using the app and quick settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PerCompLLC:
I never use it... But I just tested and it isn't working for me either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
Yep, Torch is borked for me, too.

On the brighter side (ha, pun), A2DP worked better than the 8/9 build. It's still a little slow to start playing, and I had a weird volume bug initially, but it doesn't freeze between tracks anymore (still a 2-3 second delay between tracks, though).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pirate Chef:
I flashed the 8/9 build this morning clean flash. I got stuck on the splash screen. I pulled the battery and the phone booted normally. I used the ROM for about five hours. The battery ran out while I was away from my desk. Upon charging the phone it wouldn't boot past the splash screen. It also wouldn't let me into download mode or Twrp. I flashed it with Twrp 2.5. Was that the reason for my problem? I installed a theme also but no other mods. I'm not blaming the ROM it was smooth as hell for the time I used it. I've flashed a lot of ROMs never soft bricked my phone. Good thing I bought a dongle.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Yeah torch is a no go here as well. Weird thing is I can't find anything added to torch that could mess it up. There was some translation stuff added on the 10th but I doubt that would do it.

A2DP seems better for me as well, so that's a plus.
