SOD only with CM/AOSP ROM's

Guys I need some advise, I'm experiencing regular sod's after waking up from deep sleep. I need to force reboot to get out of it, I already tried several kernels and different ROMs but it only happens on AOSP/CM ROMs. Touchwiz ones are OK and the deep sleep is perfect with waking up from it. I am on the old bootloader though. Now my question could it be the old bootloader? Should I upgrade and trip knoxx?
I already tried to get several log's with ADB but once in a sod my device isn't recognised anymore by my PC.
Has somebody else such experiences as I really like AOSP/CM ROMs but the sod's force me to use TW.
Thx in advance.

They'll come by themselves, dont worry.
If it is just on CM/AOSP IMHO it is the bootloader issue.
Plus if your phone is a year old, you can trip knox. Eitherways you wont have warranty.
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ?"

It's possible that it's because of the old bootloader, but it's also possible that it's just the rom causing it.
You could try to flash the new bootloader and see if it solves it. There is no downside to it.
I see you are from the Netherlands, so you don't need to worry about voiding warranty. You can't lose it by rooting and/or tripping knox etc.

Hi Lennyz1988,
I already tried several cm/aosp roms and several kernels (even stock) ones. Same issue, after waking up from deep sleep (after 3-8 hours +) the system freezes and I need to hard reset phone. I'm on TW right now and no issues. I guess it's the old bootloader, weird thing is that some other users have also old bootloader and I see no such reporting from them. I first thought it's the launcher (I always use nova) but it seemed not related. I guess my S4 sleeps toooooo deep. So unroot and flash latest stock Tom from Sammy for my country (bought the so at media markt germany) and CF root again I guess.
You had same issues?
Thx again

@MAX 404 @Lennyz1988
I tripped my KNOX and flashed latest Sammy firmware for my country (NG8) but still freeze on CM/AOSP.
Now my question could it be that i didn`t install "busybox" (from the playstore)?
Could it be that CM/AOSP ROM`s need busybox installed to function 100%?
I got a netgear router WNDR3700v1, the freeze also only happens when connected to wifi, with mobile data (3G, 2G etc) everything is fine.
Maybe "downgrade" the firmware of the router.
Sry to bother you guys, but i want to get rid of this freaking issue.

Hi mate,
i am not an expert on CM/AOSP roms but one thing that is common to all roms is that wifi is kernel control ,anyhow is not a common problem the one you got.
Did you try different kernels?
Did you try any wifi scheduler app to switch it on or off automatically?

Hi MAX 404, Trust me I tried almost everything. Different kernels, different AOSP/CM ROMs, even tripped Knox by flashing new boot loader. But... It seems to be solved.. I installed busybox and downgraded my router firmware. This morning I had no sod after 8,5 hours deep sleep. Or it is busybox or the downgrade of the router firmware.

mate that is great news, let us know how it goes.

I will report tomorrow buddy. Thx again

Good morning MAX 404, SOD again this morning but I froze "google search" yesterday to save some battery maybe that was the cause?
Quite sleepy device I have, it sleeps to deep. What breaks my head is that this caused only with CM/AOSP Rom's and not TW.

After you flash CM, do you restore anything? Don't restore anything but just try it with a clean version of the rom.

Hi Lennyz1988, yes my apps with data with Tibu except the google ones (maps, etc) I download them from play store and no system apps. I know the drill ?
Yes, that would be my last and final step before giving up and switching back to TW.

[Q] KNOX 0x1 worth?

Hi Guys,
I am currently on NeatRom 2.5.3 with KNOX 0x0 and i am considering to trigger my KNOX to flash a custom recovery, kernel, Rom (especially the Android Lollipop build)
But is it all worth?
- Are there some really nice roms which provide nice battery life (i am currently getting 4h 30min onscreen time and wanna get more actually)
- Worth losing your warranty forever?

I think it is, because you can't use your full smartphone without. It's like buying a supercar and not using it because it might be more valuable in future if it's new.:laugh:

I think it's worth it, then you flash what you want, how you want, that for me is worth it.
As for screen time, there are no guarantees of it being a whole lot better but the fun is in the trying.
And for Warranty I have insurance so it is 200.00 to replace and no question asked
.
SM-G900W8, 0x1

Of course its worth it done it from day one and have never regretted it

Tripped mine to fix an issue where I needed custom recovery. I was holding off as it's a new phone but was considering it anyhoo.
Happy now as I can now back up roms etc. Feel like I'm in control and warranty isn't an issue unless the software is the cause of a fault.

I say wait for your warranty to finish and then install custom recovery.. you never know what can happen.. this is what I am doing... 1 year warranty.. going to flash custom recovery after the 1 year.

[Q] New S5 owner, suggested modifications?

I just got an S5, because screw not being able to get at the battery in the S6, and I'm looking at getting custom roms and such. Any recommendations from the community? I'm on a Canadian device, so the model is G900W8. Also, anything you would recommend I don't do?
Thanks!

Welcome to the club ! I'm also a new S5 owner for 2 weeks and the first thing I would mention is that you should read around about KNOX and decide if you can have it tripped or not. If you are alright with KNOX tripped to 0x1 (like me) then your possibilities are endless! You can start with updating to stock lollipop (if not already) and flash a custom kernel like ktoonsez and enjoy better battery life, d2w and a bunch of other features. After that you're free to do pretty much anything you like, if something screws up you can just Odin back to stock 4.4 or 5.0.
If you cannot have KNOX tripped then your customizations are very limited, I think rooting is fine, but other than that not sure....

Yep, I have no problem with KNOX being tripped. The way I see it, the phone's waterproof, dust proof, and I have it in an Otterbox case. If I manage to break it somehow, that's all on me lol. I rooted already, and I'm looking at some custom roms right now like Omega. I'll check out that kernel you mentioned as well. Thanks.

The most important thing is to install Greenify in order to improve your battery life. I personally prefer AOSP ROMs like CM12, because Vanilla Android rocks

Questions about LP upgrade, knox, Kernel, TW 4.4.2 and the meaning of life.

Hi all. I have a few questions about my Note 3 n9005.
Im on stock TW 4.4.2 with Towel root and knox is 0x0.
I have read in the threads but have not fund the answers i'm looking for. I hope you fine people can help me
1. Knox. Do i need to care if Knox is 0x0 or 0x1 if my phone is without warranty?
2. Do i benefit from upgrading to Lollipop at all? If so, in what way? What Lollipop? Faster? Better battery? Features?
3. Are there drawbaks to Lollipop on Note 3? If so, what?
4. If i stay on TW 4.4.2, do i benefit from changing to a costum kernel? Faster? Better battery? Features?
5. If not Lollipop, are there stable and battery friendly custom TW-roms that you can recommend?
I'm asking because i'm not quite satisfied with stock 4.4.2. I think it might draw unnecessary battery for one. Idle and in use.
And of course i want to see what Lollipop is all about. (It's not available via update in Sweden for me)
My phone is stable and thats how i like and need my phone right now. So i don´t really want to go through all the hassle of experimenting to see what works or not. Not if there are kind people here to help me in the right direction.
Then i can experiment and see what works for me
I really do appreciate if you can help me with this.
Regards. //Tesla

Trolling. Report any irrelevant or nuisance posts if you come across them.
1- No and Yes. If your warranty is void then you shouldn't care about KNOX. You should only care about KNOX if you use that security. I mean if you turn on KNOX your phone will be more secured and all that, but I don't care about that, can't say about you.
2- Yes, in my opinion. It's faster, smoother, better battery life absolutely by 20-25% for me (however I have heard the opposite as well), don't know if there is any additional features or not, don't think so.
3- Depends on your taste. For some people the whitish/ lighter background of Lollipop is bothersome, but for me it was the opposite, I hated darkish background of KitKat. Also some people say battery backup is worse than KK, but it was opposite for me. You will also hear that some apps/ games crash to often, but I personally haven't found a single app which crashes, and I don't play games on my phone. Some will say RAM usage is much higher, it was true, but with latest update (OF3) I don't see any high RAM usage at all.
4- You will always benefit from using a custom kernel over stock kernel, for everything.
5- No interest or idea about non-Lollipop ROMs any more. But if you are looking for LP ROMs then flash AryaMod if you want to have quite a lot of features, or just flash the stock Deodexed version of latest ROM and install Xposed framework to get most out of your phone.
It's either hate or love with LP, I love it, but you might hate it. And no one can tell you either because no one will know your personal taste.

Thank you so much for your long and detailed answer m8. I really appreciate it.
Okey. Then i don´t care abot Knox. :d
Is it AryaMod V7.1 TW Lollipop Official POF3 you are referring too? Do you have experience of this Rom?
I think i will start with a custom kernel for TW. But i have to say that i'm lost in which one to choose. Do you have a sugestion for 4.4.2 Kernel?
Lollipop sounds good if you are one of the lucky ones. I will try it soon.
Thank you again my friend.

Yes, it is AryaMod 7.1 I am referring to. I used Arya for over a month actually, very stable and full featured ROM, but the ROM has its own systemUI mods, for that Xposed is not fully compatible with it, and I had to ditch it. I can't live without Xposed modules.
For KK kernel, I don't really remember much, but when I was on KK I remember using the Faux's kernel, I think the kernel was maintained by someone called yank555 or something like that, it was a great kernel. And as it was not available for LP any more I switched to Audax kernel (as you can see in my siggy), another great kernel (it's actually a continuation of Fulgor kernel, and Fulgor was available for KK too as far as I can remember, so you can try that too if you wish to stay on KK). And if you want better battery related kernel for LP then Arter's kernel should be your choice, but I prefer for performance over anything, so not using it.
And anytime, we are here to help only, and seek it when in need

Ooh.. i doo love my Xposed modules. :/ Then i will have to find another Rom.
What Rom are you on now and is it what i'm looking for? Link? Arter's kernel works with the rom you are using?
Thanks. Now i can use the search and see what i find here
Thanks for the great support. You help in the true XDA Spirit.
Was afraid of getting the "Read" answer. Se my siggy.

You had a root b4 M

I'm none root

I think there is issue with the drain, but it's not sammy fault. if you google Android 6.0.1 problem you'll see many nexus users pointing out that their is a battery drain issue, hope sammy can fix it or it won't affect us as much, Android M suppose to kill those issues it seems like Lollipop 5.0 again.

Here are my battery usage. I think thats not good. Lollipop was better.
Sync, Bluetooth, wlan is off. Screen is autobrightness at 100%
Anybdoy a idea?

One day is not enought to say anything about battery life ... maybe after couple of days .

Android os consumes my battery 8%... is this a fee for root my device by samsung??? What the f.... is that?? I cant use my phone without root or custom kernel??? F.... off samsung!!

Thought I'm alone, anyways, the screen on-time is not bad and can go to 6 hours (if used at once), however when the phone is off, the battery drain is huge and doze mode doesn't seem to be working either..
from 2 to 6 am, the phone was on a table and I was asleep and the drains looks to be huge

No problem with drain for me

Stock settings nothing done to the system display brightness on auto but to full brightness nothing deactivated

Guys i think the issue is with root. IF you rooted your phone before, installed customer rom, installed kernel or installed recovery this issue will happen .
Someone on the forum point it to knox fused burn and it can no longer go back to normal.

Rightly said.
If you have tripped Knox while rooting previously, never ever installing a STOCK ROM (May it be lollipop or MM) will fix the battery drain issue since there is some read cycle which the kernel does continuously if the Knox is tripped which can only be overridden with a Custom Kernel.
So, either wait till we get a custom Kernel on MM and root (Ofcourse) or enjoy the new Look n Feel at the cost of battery drain
Btw, I am un-rooted on Stock N9208 (Waiting for MM in my region)

You will never get stock everything deepsleep. So all future updates are null and void for everyone. Unless you get a modified stock kernel to fix the deepsleep. Or a custom kernel. Unrooting doesn't help as Knox ix 0x1
