*I beat the One Hard Brick to Rule Them All! - Pun intended.

*The Main Mic Issue - Where'd my voice go?

*What the touch!? - Dead zone in my Oneplus!

*The Out-tro you have all been waiting for - Trust me, it was long enough me writing this!

Once my Oneplus was back up and running, I flashed a CM12 5.0.2 rom and flashed my favourite kernel Franco Kernel. Everything was smooth as a baby's bottom.I was so stoked once again! But I remembered and issue I had, before the Hard Brick, when I first got the phone and after I flashed the NON-HLOS.bin. I couldn't talk on handset, only speaker phone? What could have caused this? I wasn't sure, but I went straight back to the drawing board! (google.com) I found lots of other users had this issue. I found a reddit thread, and that reddit thread led me to a post on XDA. The thread outlined a bunch of mods from the guy, and what they did exactly. "main_mic_bypass.zip" was what I was looking for, what this did exactly, It would disable the main mic in the mixer_paths.xml in the phone. Why was this needed? When the main mic on the Oneplus blows out you can't use any other mics from what I understand other than the one on speaker. So when I flashed this Mod, all of a sudden people could hear me when in call and off speaker! I could also use Google Now's "Ok Google".I thought everything was stitched up, my Oneplus was working perfectly! So I thought. My touch screen... Not all the other touch screen issues everyone is having with "ghost touches" and what not. I searched for hours for this issue and a possible fix. I could only find one or two people with the exact same issue as me. Being a dead zone strip in the centre of the screen from left to right. Completely dead. I couldn't figure out what it was that caused this, or why this has happened. I decided, to hell with-it, and flashed Oxygen OS, knowing that I can't used my beloved Franco kernel, I was pretty sad, but I lived. This didn't fix it though, the only thing Oxygen OS did was make my phone a lot more smoother, run a lot faster, get a bunch better bench marks and just make it feel like absolute stock which is what I was looking for to begin with!Sadly enough with O2OS, the main_mic_bypass.zip fix/mod won't work, because all the mixer_paths files have been changed dramatically, so until I find a way to change what was changed in the mod on O2OS, I'll have to put up with my mic not working unless it's on speaker.Back to the touch screen dead zone. I couldn't figure this out and still haven't figured this out.But I have the original Tempered Glass screen protector on it from Oneplus. I read across a couple of threads/forums, about screen protectors causing this or people just giving up and sending it into RMA, but I'm not really one to back down from a technical challenge. I tried a lot of things, but one thing I think is working, was originally, I took the screen protector off and checked if the dead zone was still there, so I put the screen protector back on, and recently it's actually started picking up very small amounts of touches in the dead zone strip. So I've taken the screen protector off all together in the hopes that touch will come back to the dead zone soon!Edit: I also believe that it has something to do with Pressurized Touch. The lighter I swipe the more touch it picks up.So all in all, my experience with the Oneplus hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine.Asides from the head trauma I've been through with my Oneplus, this is probably one of the best phones I've ever used. Amazingly quick, very responsive, very nice display and lots of options! This is quite truly an amazing phone.The team over at Oneplus have done a splendid job on the Oneplus One and are trying to pick up a few pieces they dropped along the way.All the issues that people have reported, is quite killing for the companies business, it's quite sad, aside from the issues the phones had, I think everyone needs to understand what they're actually getting for the price they're paying.*Sources/Fixes/Mods/Pretty much everything I mentioned in this:Signal Drop fix (NON-HLOS.bin modem):The One Hard Brick to Rule Them All Guide:The Main Mic Bypass:OxygenOS:Easiest way to get Franco Kernel:CyanHacker:WUG's Tool-kit:Those Interested in the ROM for the Nexus 5:Qualcomm Oneplus Drivers:
