Samsung still rebooting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Im new to android and have been tweaking my samsung s4 for a couple of months now. I have a Samsung S4 GT I9505 with TWRP boot recovery , nova launcher prime and KitKat 4.4 Google play edition Rom. I have also flashed Faux Kernel onto my phone to prevent random restarts. The problem is I am still getting restarts (about 8 a day) the problem was a lot worse before I re-flashed it with the same kernel. I have tried flashing it again but I still get the same problem. Also some of my apps restart more often then before I had the custom ROM (GPE)
I am not 100% sure what the kernel does. What is the purpose of it. Are there others I can use, where can I get them from ?
Help would be most appreciated
Thanks
Aiden

kernel act as a bridge between OS and hardware....
and more kernel rom etc u find in your forum

Can't flash any rom

Very new to Samsung in general, and subsequently the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510). I managed to get the device back to stock (bought it with some whack stuff on it), successfully rooted and flashed the most recent recovery. My problem is that I can't flash any ROMs...
I guess maybe I shouldn't say ANY but i've tried SlimBean (which nobody else seems to have any problems with - me? constant bootloop fun), and D2Dyno's CM 10.1 which fails on flash EVERY time.
The Tab I bought is the Google I/O version but that shouldn't make any difference right? if anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it since I'm new and can't actually post in the development thread
Thanks in advance...

[Q] Screen Freeze Reboot!

Okay...I have had this problem for a while now and cant find a solution to the current problem. Here goes. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note I717M. This is the Canadian version to the AT&T Note I717 I have been rooting my phones for several years now and pretty familiar with the ongoings of the whole process. I rooted my phone via ODIN and put a custom rom onto my Note with no problems. Everything works great! Where I run into a problem is when I decided to go with the Jellybean update 4.2.2. The Jellybean rom I am using is called Jellybam version 7.8.0. ParanoidAndroid Ver. 3.15 quincyatt_jb-mr1_build-6. When I installed it everything seemed to work fine for the first couple of days. All of a sudden my phone started to freeze where everything was non functioning. This frozen state would last for about 15 seconds then my screen would go completely light blue for another 5 to 10 seconds then turn off and reboot. It doesnt do this with any 4.2.1 custom roms. Only with the 4.2.2 version. Does anyone have this similiar problem? Is there a fix for this? I love my custom 4.2.2 rom and dont want to go back to any other earlier Android OS and rom. Can someone shed some light as to what is happening and is there a proceedure that needs to be followed or done differently so that this doesn't continues to happen. Or yet again is the a know issue? Any insight to fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated! I await your helpfull tools and hints. Any help I will be happy with.
thanks Guys

This is a known issue on Kelly bean roms. Oddly, most people are having less reboots with the new 4.2.2 over the 4.1.2 .... The issue is the kernel. There is no source to build from yet. So ... There are issues.
I have had a lot of freezing and reboots on many of the jelly roms. I'll tell you that you rom, jellybam, is not supported on xda.
I'm am currently on the unofficial AOKP and having great luck. You may want to give it a go.

I9300 keeps freezing and restarting.

Hey guys I bought a s3 i9300 1 month ago used. When I got it, it was rooted and had a custom recovery. After a few hours it started freezing then restarting. I then flashed android revolution HD 32.0 based on 4.2.2 leak and it hasn't rebooted or froze once to date. My problem is whenever I install any custom ROM Samsung based or stock Google based it keeps on rebooting and freezing except android revolution HD. Why does it do that? I want to install liquid smooth for better memory management but I can't because of this! I have cwm 6.0.xx BTW. (Can't remember the exact version ) I'm not new to flashing and rooting but any help will be appreciated.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
did you try to install an actual official firmware? not "stock based" you may want to try flashing a firmware from sammobile using odin. this will let you know if the issue is hardware related. if you are running anything custom IE rom,recovery or kernel. that could be the cause. best way to find out is to get your phone back to stock. if the probems persist than probably you have a hardware problem. read the stickies for instrucions on how to return to stock. good luck

Help with my Galaxy Grand i9080L Rom

first of all I apologize if I posted this on a wrong sleection or whatever...
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand i9080L and i resently found that my phone had an update but when i connected to kies it appeared to be none, nor via OTA. so i Downloaded it from Sammobile and flashed the rom using ODIN.
Now the problem is that when i updated to 4.2 my phone started to run really slow and i did a hard reset and deactivated some applications that didnt work properly but the phone still lags, less but does compared to when i had 4.1.
I dont want to go back to 4.1 because when i do i cant use any game because of a graphic problem that its now solved with 4.2 and some other bugs.
I've been trying to find a custom rom for my GT i9080L but i cannot find any.
Do you guys think i can use a Rom for the DUOS version (i9082) and install it with odin?
Any idea?
please help im kinda desperate because of the lack of suppor for this phone.
I realize that these are for the i9082L dual sim model : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-duos/development
But there have been people in various forums reporting the CM or AOSP type roms run on their i9080l fine since the dual sim support for non Samsung roms are tricky to get working right anyway (example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50659404&postcount=1123 , http://www.madboxpc.com/foro/topic/186437-guia-actualizar-galaxy-i9080l-de-422-custom-a-442-mod/ ). I'd be wary of trying any Samsung based 9082 roms because I have seen people saying that'll brick it (though probably just fixable via Odin).

SGH-I337 Dev ROM/Firmware

Anyone found or have a dev rom for the Gs4 SGH-I337? My cousin played with his phone a while ago and it had a recovery problem so i used ODIN to flash the stock-recovery.img. Recovery successfully installed but now the ROM isn't working. I tried to add back the firmware it had (I believe 4.4.2 or 4.2.2) but now it's on a boot loop on the Samsung Custom screen. After boot it'll vibrate multiple times and then it'll stop vibrating but phone would get warm. I was thinking if somebody can help me find a Dev ROM I'll might be able to redownload the original firmware. That's what I did to my Verizon Gs5 (currently running LineageOS). Thanks if anybody can help

You have an AT&T variant, which means there is no developer edition for your device, and you can't use another devices.
The S5 has a special vulnerability that allows one to convert to developer edition, but it doesn't apply to the S4.
