[YP-G70][PAC-ROM] Random reboots - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Hey guys!
I'm new in this forum and this website, so that's why I'm posting my problem in Q&A section instead of development thread ( 10 posts rule )
well I'm using the PAC-ROM by iurnait for over a month and I really like it.
But a while ago these strange reboots started. I was listening to music, using PowerAmp, when the music stopped. I pressed the Home - Button to look at the screen and see what's wrong but the device did not response. A few seconds later the PAC-Bootanimation started but without kernel logo. When the players booted it is fully functional again. So the last week it happend a few times so I decided to make an update and hoped this bug will be fixed. But instead it happend again...
Well I read in the Forums and decided to install an Logcat app and tried to reproduce the Error to post it here in the forum.
You may know that if you something want to happen again it naturally doesn't happen
But this night I caught the Error. I just pressed the Home-Button to have a look at the Lockscreen because i wanted to know what time it is. But instead of shut of the display after a while the Bootlogo was shown...
So I hope our developers can find out what's going wrong. I attached the Logcat for you. It is really long but I think the main error occured at this time: "07-12 01:55:05.070"
Hope you can help me I really like this ROM.
I'm using the International Player with PAC build from July 9th and Koala888 KKernel R2 intl with LiveOC but I don't use it. The player is overclocked at 1100 MHz and the voltages are default.
Hope I didn't forget something and thank you

I had the same problem with an old stock ROM, I don't know if it was CPU Tuner or the ROM. It stopped when I installed the latest stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446774

It's probably the overclock's fault.
Try using a program called nstools and enable liveoc at 1.2 GHz only and set it to 115% at 1375mv. That fixed it for me almost entirely.

Thank you for the reply i'll try the thing with the oc hope it works
Thanks for the help

Random reboots are usual in roms not stock-based. And PAC every day have a new build without so much testing so it's really possible that this is a rom fault.
If you want keep with the unique characteristics of pac (like dpi settings and halo for example) you can try to flash one of the iurnait's releases (not basketbuild) and if you don't use this pac characteristics, then I highly recommend you cm 10.1. It's smoother and more stable

And if you want to try liveoc, for me the perfect is 1400 with 112% liveoc to the latest frequency only (1400) with 1375 arm voltage and 1200 int voltage (only to the latest frequency step again)

thank you txordi i think i'll flash cm10.1 and test it .
When I tried liveoc the player was very laggy and did not perform very good... but i'll try it again
thank you

This happens to me too. Might be a bug or something.

Yes, I think it's a bug.
If you find it as annoying as I do, I recommend to switch to CyanogenMod it's a lot more stable and faster

You should search around xda forms, now there is CyanogenMod 10.2 (JellyBean 4.3 yes 4.3) build for the galaxy player series

I have had the same problem with the SGP 4.0 YPG1 for the longest time. I have run out of ideas. It started just after I flashed CM11, although I don't think it has anything to do with the rom, as I have since done the following:
Move from CM 11 to CM 10.2
flashed back to stock
replaced the battery
reformatted the sd card
removed the external sd
None of the above seemed to help. The device has the following symptoms. It reboots, almost always in the middle of the night, and boot loops at the Samsung logo. Otherwise the device works fine. I still haven't ruled out a permanent hardware defect but I am hoping that that is not the case. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to a different ROM because PAC ROM is unstable with their night lies.

Before I upgraded my YP-G70 by flashing a custom kernel and ROM, those random reboots used to occur all the time, mostly when my screen froze. I would suggest upgrading your ROM to Carbon ROM from meticulous(.)co(.)vu. Remove parentheses because of 10 post/no offsite link rule. It's pretty good for both US and International YP-G70 versions; I haven't experienced any errors/bugs with it yet. I think it would probably be the best solution for fixing your restart problem.

ICS SOD and Crashes

Hello There I updated my folio to cm9 and found out that i cannot post on developement , so i decided to create a new thread to here in order to publish todays testing of the new rom.
First thing is that i installed with cwm 5.0.0.9 with no problem so that worked too.
It worked smooth and fast. Not as fast as foliomod 1.4 but almost.
I have SOD with no app installed only market. (i try to reinstall with the creator proposed recovery)
I found that i can install now the 3.1 and up applications like adobe photoshop and ideas .
I painted photoshop for a few hours and had a strange freezing first than after a minute and so it came to life by itself.
30 minutes later it freezed for good and it ruined the system so i had to reinstall the ROM...
I couldnt make a photo of the system message of boot error but it said 2 differend one wifi related and 1 driver related...
(sorry i have no chance to logcat because of win7... If someone pm me about a solution of logcat work in win7)
I am a newbie so i dont know how to use developer related programs and webpages but i try to share information with the community here.
All in all i think this ROM is faster and better than honeycomb mods and runs photoshop (i wanted a tablet to paint...)
I had strange wifi signal ups and downs during connection...
working:
- UI
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- Sensors
- Audio
- Gapps
- skype, imo
- games (cut the rope), gameloft apps (x2 optimus version)
not working
-youtube app
-flash in browsers
-playing flash videos
I want to thank for all who is working on the ICS ROMs right now, you do a really good job guys, please keep up so we can all have a very good tablet working .
Im looking forward for solutions for not working parts and updates .
So glad to hear the photoshop works on it - that's one of the apps that I was really hoping would work. Did you say that photoshop remained pretty stable over those few hours?
I know that the rom is going to be pretty unstable though - SOD is not a real issue to me, but the rom corrupting itself is a bit of a worry!
no sod for me, stable rom, youtube works fine, remove the hd video display, we have to wait for the flash player updates the rom, maybe you should use the Opera browser.
Hey guys,
Flash didnt work with my 4.0.3 Rom too. The "SOD" wakes up after round about 30 sec in my case, dont reboot so fast.
Working Stuff:
Apparatus
GTA 3 (v. 1.2)
Youtube (not full tested)
Reckless Racing HD
My Issues:
Sound sometimes didnt work after "half SOD"
Wlan Problems (didnt connect to my wlan, after reboot 2 or 3 times its gone, this bug is since the Dexter 0.3 mod)
My Question:
Can i change the Resolution? The HC 0.3 Rom, had the best for my opinion
Anyone try a usb gamepad? This would be awesome with the snes emu
Can i turn off the softkeys?
Can i fix the 180° display rotation from bootup?
I will try some tests and things and give feedback.
best regards
Dave
A guy called Strozzi posted that
Screen rotation: OK but after having enabled it in the trebuched app

Does that fix what you mean?
I find the whole 10 posts before you post in the development section a bit silly. I understand the desire for the forum to not be full of 'noobs' but I registered because I could help with an answer to a question that someone asked. Oh well...
Loving all your reports on ICS tho... going to give it a try once the app store starts showing everything! Photoshop is the main pull for me tho...
It was stable until the slowup and freeze, i think it is useful if u save frequently. It has the core funcions of everything you need in photoshop.
someone write that the flash contend work only with the opera browser, i will test this at the evening.
What i mean with the rotation is, the display looks greater when the screen is 180° rotated

Ah yes, i dont think thats possible to phisically turn the display 180 degrees because of construction... It is the biggest fault in toshiba's development history to use a screen like this...
SO todays testing last update on cm9:
Still no idea on SOD.
I got into a bootloop from a normal power off than power on with wifi
After that loop i used mblasters recovery to reinstall it again...
got into bootloop right after intstall. I did a factory reset to get it started up again.
I got a system up and running again with no apps :S
I dont think this is app related...
I have SOD with the new recovery too. Looks like i'm the only one fighting with SOD. ( my device go to hibernation after 30 sec from screen off and no way to wake it up)
And.... after the first SOD i got into bootloop again... then with a simple restart it is working... i dont know what to do now. Maybe reinstall is not necessary if this happens every now and then...
i got the 2. time a SOD, dunno why its totally random....
Flash didnt work with the Opera Browser. I think i make a fastboot -w shortly and test it again.
Its possible that is the old genovea problem with the 256 mhz and vcore bug, with the SOD?
I think i install a Linux to get some logcat output.
edit: im a dumbass, logcat also available @ adb.exe logcat :/
best regards
Dave
really good job on this rom! Try it with ADW launcher EX and it will run completely smooth!
It's an experimental build and we already have a nearly stable rom, it just needs to improve the performance, add ondemand cpu governor (performance governor has horrible battery life), get flash working, use camera (not really important for me) and we would have the perfect rom!

Someone mentioned in the dev thread that there is no flash version for ICS yet which is why flash isn't working. This true?
As for camera - really not a biggie. They'll only get that working once the source for it is released. Not sure if that is...
The strange thing is that some people are saying this rom is perfect and stable while others are talking about it crashing and going into a bootloop... :/

It's pretty stable for me, I'm using it as "every-day" rom. Flash Player for ICS was released in December, also I've seen it working nicely on a GT-i9000 with 4.0.3 just downloading flash from android market.
I neither care about the camera. I've never used it. Now I rmember another problem on the rom: USB storage (connecting folio to PC) doesn't work.
Well I bit the bullet and have gone to CM9. The rom is great, took a while to get my google account setup (kept getting the unreliable connection error) but overall I was impressed. One SOD but seems way more stable than foliomod and the speed is great.
My only question is... How did you guys get apps on that aren't 'supported'. Two apps that I know work are 'unsupported'. Do I just change the build.prop or are you guys using a different method? Really want photoshop touch and RawVision on my device.
Oh and a small tip, I forgot to wipe when I upgraded and I had a working update from CM7. Only issue was that the market app was broken, but as that's pretty integral I had to wipe...
tested the new build, so far it has he same issues as the previous build, but Wifi lost when tablet is sleeping seems to be fixed! Also I've noticed that multi-mount sdcard app doesn't work now.
new version
I still cannot get the folio out of hibernation in cm9, however i figured out that my total crash message was not real. When freezed, the folio wont boot for a while (30 minutes or so). After about half an hour it is booting like nothing happened. Freezing was a rare thing with r1 now it is regular, so it is not too good. I think battery drain is still problem. Many apps is working corrupted or not work at all, but some other work that not before. Oh and you have to forget flash for now. I think it is still not good for everyday use but it is definitely not far from that. Hold on for 1 more month Nopy pls.
My issuses:
- Power Button needs to be pushed twice or more for wake UP from standby
- camera Shows mutiple (4) live pics, no Video ins possible
- No Market Download works
- home Button (softbutton on the side ) is out off order
- Touchscreen ins a little Bit less sensitive
Flash, gmail, and youtoube works, gapps Form goo-inside ins installed

After instaling last cm9 version with 2.6.39 kernel I can't get rid off SOD...
hi there,
i just installed the new CM9.0.0.0
Great ROM, very good job, everything seems to work fine
Just one thing : i've got something like small electrical discharge when i touch the screen, i can hear the sound of it like static electricity
Am i the only one and what can i do?
Market not working
Hi *,
also installed cm9 with kernel 2.6.29.
A real awesome rom, thank you for the good work!
I have the issue that apps won't install in the market. When trying to download, folio says that an error has occured.
Any hint what could cause this behavior?
I installed the gApps with clockworkmod recovery.
renamed zinfile in update.zip, copied to sdcard
booted into recovery
applied update.zip to recovery.
Apps work, market also but u can't donload any app.
thanks,
Buggi

I know it sounds odd, but it seems to work. Hopefully this will get fixed once ICS arrives.
Since u r rooted.....
copy(merge) the audio folder provided by me to /sytem/etc

sorry i'm a new user so can't put a url......
I'll recommend Root Explorer app to copy the folder.....
Firstly, Dont use idiotic topic titles like "help", Use proper titles the describe your topic.
Second, this is a development forum you have absolutley no business creating topics in here. If you want to ask a question do it in the QUESTIONS forum.
Third, If you need support about a specific rom do it in the specific roms thread.
Its all pretty much common sense really.
Tried the Codeworkx Kernel. This one.
[KERNEL][GB+ICS] ClockworkMod Recovery 5
Only tested for an hour or so, but thus far no crashing and not even a single hiccup. Seems very promising but need to test for a couple of days before saying it´s the full cure.
Lost the screen lock, but I think this will be fixed in an update.
Far as I´m concerned if the earphone bug is fixed, and lock screen is okay I might not even need ICS at all.

[Q] Beanstalk ROM 4.3 and 4.4 related questions

Finally, I registered today and this is my first post!
I have read this forum for some time and searched not only this forum but googled but couldn't find clear answers for my questions on the BeanStalk ROM which I love so much. I have tried bunch of other ROMs but none of them satisfied me in terms of stability.
Here are issues of the Beanstalk ROM on my Galaxy Note (Telus) and questions.
4.3 (tested latest few builds)
1. With turnning off most of options such as phone, data, wifi, NFC (annoying, default should be disabled for me), the battery life is good
2. Under the battery usage graph, Awake is off when it is supposed to be for example at night in sleep setting as mentioned above.
3. Sometimes, the screen won’t turn off automatically after set time-out, for example 1min, and even with the power button. Reboot or reboot in recovery mode doesn't help. This happened this afternoon at work and had to power off until coming back home to re-flash. Does anyone knows why this happens and how to fix it?
4.4 (tested latest few builds)
1. I also tried to turn off all the communications and wake up settings (same as I have done with 4.3), but couldn't make the Awake bar in the Battery graph off. Something seems to keep waking the phone. Couldn't find what it was so far. Any idea?
2. Well, this is known issue, but the video recording doesn’t work. The latest build released yesterday seems to find a work around with Camera MX though.
If the 'Awake' issue can be fixed, I would be happy with 4.4.
I'm not a big fan of NFC and looks to me just a battery drainer, but it keeps turnning back on after uncheck. One tip to fix this (bad) behavior I found somewhere in this forum was to uncheck and without leaving the setting screen and reboot using power button.
Hope someone can answer my questions.
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Since I posted these questions, there were few times of Beanstalk ROM updates and now my phone is very stable. I'm very happy with the last build. I'm also using polluti0n's patch for the video issue. Since I updated the build on 3/7, there has not been a single reboot. So far soooo good. As a new member with less than 10 posts, I can't post any reply and thank Patch Adams for his great work. I could just click the Thank button.

Glad to see that more and more people are following the patch's thread with beanstalk for the i717, and also glad to hear your phone is working fine. I also suffer from the junior member restriction so I read and try and see what I can do to follow quietly but see if eventually could be of some help. As a kind of fyi you might wanna see what I believe they might work on from the most recent comments in the beanstalk i717 thread:
galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-roms/beanstalk-rom-with-android-4-4-2-for-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100sgh-t989
I found this while trying to find beanstalk for a friend who has an S2 T989 and realized that the version they have there is using diablo kernel rather than CM or PAC.. from the time I had to play around with it while I flashed it on my friends S2 it seems to be very smooth, like the one patch built for the i717. Pollution was mentioning something about maybe using diablo on the next build, so we'll see if it happens. Also, although totally unrelated I realized that the version used on the link above from galaxys2root is slightly more advanced build-wise than the version here.
Enjoy your day!

Thank you for your reply. I'm also glad to see more people who has i717 are interested in Beanstalk ROM. I have flashed so many ROMs for far whenever it gives me an error or reboots but Beanstalk is the longest one I'm using right now. I also expecting better versions with the new builds with diablo kernal or the updated CM (hopefully with video recording).
Cheers!

Hi! So the last thing you want to see is a reply saying I have the same issues. I was wondering what Camera MX is? My phone will not record on BS either along with youtube and any other video unable to play. It just keeps loading until it gives up. I noticed you hadn't listed youtube videos as a problem. Did you find a fix for it? Ill post back if I find anything.

Currently, I have the latest Beanstalk ROM 4.4.4 (7/11 version) with polluti0n camera patch and the camera works fine with video recording. :good:

YP-G70 SGP5 USA cm11 FC issues?

Am having random reboots - just had one mins ago posting reply w/xdafree app here but not sure if ROM related as xda app auto installed itself on sdcard which also caused its icon to disappear from home screen at reboots and this has been found to likely not be ROM related. Also having random power offs and random browser FC. Am running 1200 OC & on demand CPU governor & trying to run as min as poss to save battery. Hardly ever get past 3 days uptime.
Model: YP-G70
Android: 4.4.4 CM11-20140712-UNOFFICIAL-venturi
Kernel: default = 3.0.101-G70UEK18 [email protected] #1 Sat Jul 12 13:13:50 PT 2014
Build#: cm_venturi-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 997e99f83e test-keys
Oclocking on this ROM does lead to some random reboots. Try to go back to default.

Had thought that once before too and tried it but maybe something else was also causing reboots so I went back but will try again thx.

Just had another browser FC just reading news - it froze and finally came back with a dialog box to say browser has stopped running. I tried it again and same thing happened but this time it came back with a dialog box that systemui had stopped. Trying to OK that msg cause it to just loop the same msg over again. I was able to short press the power button to get the power menu to show behind the msg box and in between OKs just enough time to request reboot.

Re: CPU settings - I went back to default = max 1000 & interactive but more random reboots set this way - couldn't get past 18 hrs. So only changed back to ondemand and now going thru 28 hrs so will see....

:what: <grin> Made it to 3 days and so many hours, either 8 or 18, can't recall eventho I just viewed it - thought it might make it thru 4 days for a first - wishful thinking I guess. The app I'm using is called system uptime but doesn't tell how long the last run was. I wasn't really doing anything heavy - reading news - and put it down - a few mins later it auto locked the screen - then a few mins later it just reboots just sitting there!

Just curious if you've tried other KitKat Roms, and if you have, what your experience has been with them. Right now for me, Carbon using the default performance settings has been the most stable and best performing.
No, I haven't. Am new to this thx to dosdude1 and his YouTube vid how to get sgp5 to cm and my constant search how to safely do these flashes. So not complaining about these reboots - its only annoying if ur in the middle of doing something - else can live with it so far - it reboots pretty fast and sometimes only realize it because of uptime. Just curious about it and sharing my experience with it.
Have started looking around at ROMs - I tend to min types and saw carbon & slim & others. But realized I had vid help with my first and now a larger learn curve for next steps. I need to read about ADB & fastboot & TB-pro & kernels & more before considering another safe move - brick fears! But thx for the tip.

One other thing I noticed - apps were newly auto updating for some reason - didn't know it but play store had auto update option on - so turned it off - might help.

Well, I'm not too sure about this, but try keeping overclock off unless your phone is running irritatingly slow. From my experience with the YP-G70 (US) model, there were usually three main factors in those oh - so - annoying random reboots: 1) there are some mischievous, misbehaving apps running, 2) the phone is being overclocked, or 3) the ROM you currently have is buggy or not working properly. I think your problem is probably a combination of 2 and 3. Hope this post helped

Yes this helps. Would love to try a new ROM too but still in learning mode. I wanna get good w/TiBu.
I stopped using system uptime app and found device uptime (has a log file & no widget) and got to 5 days before reboot. Thought using the orig app might've been contributing but only got to 1 or 2 days max after & one more random power down.
But I realized system uptime app was still installed and, even though not running it directly, it was maybe still running in background. So I uninstalled it completely to see if this app was poss a factor for now.

I have been running Carbon on my Player 5.0 (YP-G70) for the past 3 months without a hiccup. Excellent battery life and very smooth. The OP may want to give that a try.
I liked Carbon so much, I put it on my Player 4.0 (YP-G1) and my Tab 7.0 Plus (GT-P6210).

The best way to learn is by doing.
First of all, make a nandroid backup so you have a safety net in case things go wrong. Then you can try flashing another ROM.
If you don't like it, just restore and try something else.
Good luck!

Stable roms?

Can everyone post a list of stable roms for I717? I don't like going through the trouble of backing up all my data and flashing a new rom only to have it crash multiple times per day and have something like bluetooth not work reliably at all. Maybe some people enjoy playing with that (a lot of the most popular roms at the top of the forum are like this), but I don't!
I'll start the list and say that Beanstalk 4.4 is extremely stable, only had it reset on me twice in one year, and bluetooth works 100%. Only issue is that you can't move apps to SD so you run out of space quick (thanks to kitkat). I'd love to find something above kitkat this stable...
And I'll add some that I have tried and failed:
Candy5: No matter what Gapps I tried (yes pico etc), none of them installed and even after going through every suggestion in the thread I could not get a simple google play installed. Stock browser crashes every 2 minutes.
Pac-rom: Promising but crashes 10+ times per day. Often does not power on unless you boot into recovery and select reboot. GPS is terrible, google maps often loses it's place and gives turn-by-turn directions 60 seconds too late. Stock browser crashes all the time as well.
CM: Bluetooth reliability is terrible. Quincyatt not updated since 2014.
Sounds like you should stick with beanstalk or return the device to stock. When you rooted your device, it opened up security issues so it'll never be as solid as you'd like. What hasn't been updated since 2014?

CM for I717.
I don't like going back to stock because IMO it's less secure (heartbleed is a pretty big security hole). If you leave root access disabled and don't download shady apps a custom rom isn't any more insecure.

Edit: Just seen you have tried my roms? You should check the dates on them because most are from 2015. If you need more help than that then post in the thread for the rom you need help with. Read read read. Your issue with gapps has been discussed over and over again! Nobody is here to spoonfeed anyone.

Just listing the roms I've tried and have been unusable (crashing 1 or more times per day and something major like bluetooth being unreliable)

Yes, I tried every suggestion in the thread and it still didn't work. After trying pac-rom for a couple days (and having it crash 20+ times) I just tried wiping it and flashing candy again, and now Gapps with google play worked the first time with no troubleshooting. Shrug.
Seems rock-solid so far though. Can't post in that thread since I have too few posts, so one question, if I do the OTA download for the new 4.0, can I just flash it on top of my 3.9 version or do I need to wipe everything and start over? Also, under Settings, Apps, if I click an app and move to SD card, it will sit there and say "moving" forever. If I exit settings and come back sometimes the app will actually show moved to SD list though.
And the stock calendar app doesn't seem to let me log in, it says "Sign in to get the most out of your device". Then I enter the email I've always used and it says "This account already exists on your device." But there's no other way to actually select that account. What am I doing wrong?

Don't do the OTA yet since BB won't let me upload my roms. The ota notification is a fluke. You'll have to flash the rom fresh between trying to find the right gapps which will work on your device. Candy is the most stable of all my builds currently.

The ota is ready now if you wish to try that.

Still can't post in the main thread but:
-If you turn on "Directly show pattern view", nothing shows on the lock screen besides the dots (time, weather, owner info, notifications).
-I had the dreaded bluetooth bug happen the other day, do you get many reports of this? (bluetooth stops working while streaming music, and does not turn back on until a phone reset).
-Stock calendar cannot be logged into (edit: just installed the google calendar from the app store which worked fine)
Unfortunately these are all deal breakers for me but I really like the rom otherwise, I don't want to switch back
Any way to enable HDMI output? (I have the adapter which worked before).

Must be on stock based rom and that being said, not all of those work. I know Saurom, Blackstar Blackjelly and OnlyOne Goldie work.
Edit: on my device.

I heavily utilize the "Move to SD card" option because otherwise the default storage doesn't hold more than 10 or so apps, but I've had a problem with Candy5 twice now where my phone will crash, and upon reboot, all the apps that were moved to SD card are gone. Anyone else encounter this?
I wish I could post in the normal thread.
Installed the latest Candy5 20151031, did a complete wipe of everything per the instructions, and after installing 1 app (gmail), the phone reboot the first time gmail opened while placing the gmail widget down.
Here's a list of ROMs I've tested:
BlackSTAR XI - Best ROM for the i717. Super stable and fast.
CM Official - Good, but very buggy. SD card breaks, phone reboots often, HW overlays, etc.
Padawan - Not much new here, just a simple modded version of stock. Very stable but not too fast.
Candy5 - Very laggy, as LP is still in development for i717.
CM11 Unofficial - A bit laggy, HW overlays.
All in all I'm a huge fan of BlackSTAR XI, best ROM I've seen so far.

-Which CM official version (10.1, 10.2,etc)? HW overlays can be worked around by switching off in developer options.
