i have been trying for months to find a rom/kernel combo that will give me dpi control and fastcharge usb. every time i find a rom with dpi control, i try to flash the rom and i run into issues. the phone wont boot or it goes haywire and i have to restore to my back up. i just tried flashing bulletproofs 4.4 kernel and my htc one wont boot. is there something else i can do to get this to work. anyone aware of a rom/kernel combo that gives dpi control and fastcharge? and trust me ive scoured the forums and havent found the answer im looking for yet
edit: also i am currently on kit kat. if its only on 4.3 so far thats fine too ill downgrade

Okay I've posted about this before, but still can't figure it out...
My issue is this: When I install a GB rom, everything runs fine until my screen goes off.... its even fine if it goes off for a second, but if it sits for more than one second it reboots. A full reboot. I've tried both GB kernels, as well as MR 2 and 2.5. I've also tried using setcpu to set the minimum all the way up to 1.4GHz with no help.
Can someone help me fix this screen off issue? PLEASE?
Seems to have something with the dip in processor speed because when my phone is downloading from the market or signing in to google, or doing anything for that matter... the problem doesnt occur.
I don't really accept that I can't use Gingerbread because of this... there HAS to be a fix.
Thanks yall
What gingerbread roms have you tried? Also, what kernels were you using?

don't have this issue on Synergy 3.0 running the latest ziggy kernel
I've tried every GB rom on here, as well as both kernels
also, Ziggy kernel? You in the right section?
I would try wiping, then installing the setup in my signature, but don't restore any apps at first or sync with Google so they're downloaded automatically. I think that you've got an app and a kernel that's interfering with one another. Try the ROM bone stock before you start restoring apps and see if the problem is there.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.

when you say both kernels are you referring to the radios? cause mr2 and mr.5 are radios not kernels

I share your pain with this exact problem. I have been doing all types of testing these last two days to see if there is any combination of ROMS and Kernals that would work for me.
I can flash any ROM I want, and the only Kernal that I can successfully use is this one:
Imoseyan GB Stock Kernal
With this Kernal, I can use my phone all I want, let the screen go black, hit the lock screen button and I have never had a reboot.
I have run Thunderstick, BAMF 2.1, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, with this kernal and it will run fine.
When I change to any of these Kernals, I get the constant reboots when my screen goes off, just like the OP described.
* Imoseyon Lean Test
* Imoseyon 184mhz
* Imoseyon USBfix
* Imoseyon 2.5.3 test 7
* Nerozehl's dreamkernal 2.3.2
Of course, when flashing any ROMS and Kernal combinations, I would do a complete wipe before doing so. I should also mention that I am using MR2 radio. I can also use MR2.5 with the GB Stock Kernal and it runs fine.
So like the OP, it seems to be something to do with the kernal that my phone does not like and can't figure out. Anything other than the stock kernal, and my phone will constantaly reboot after the screen goes black.
I should also mention that I have used the speektweah.sh in terminal emulator and tried all of the different voltage settings and it had no effect. Also disabled it and tried using SetCPU and no luck either.
I have also tried all of the ROMS without allowing any apps to update by skipping the google account sign in. So basically all of the ROMS were running in their native state, and the outcome would be the same.
FOR THE OP
Try running the stock kernal and let us know if that works for you. You should just be able to flash it in CWM, reboot and you will know right away if it is working correctly.
The real question I need to figure out is this. What is different about the GB Stock Kernal from all the others that would be having this impact on our phones?
I've tried all of this except installing the above kernel. I'll give that a shot, thanks.
As for installing without apps, I've tried that. Tried everything. Lets hope the stock kernel works!
I've been running Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imo's kernel and never had this issue. It sounds like maybe something is bad with the cpu profiling becoming unstable when screen-off profiles kick in.

I can confirm that this one worked for me too. Synergy 3.0 running Ziggy's Kernal and everything works well.
Anyone know where to grab just the Kernal? Can't seem to find the latest download.
I should also add, that when I do flash the Stock GB kernal so that my ROM will be stable.... my camera freezes everytime I try to take a picture. Happens in every ROM I mentioned above. However, it works fine before I flash the stock kernal.
running "stock kernel" it looks to be fixed. Looks like I tried this before as I already had the file but.... works now for some reason
Thanks.
Will report back if it ****s up
Alright, so I have a problem where my bluetooth and wifi don't work at all. Wifi status shows up as error and when I try to enable it, it just puts the phone in a reboot cycle where it starts up for a bit then restarts unless I can catch it fast enough to put it into airplane mode. From what I've been reading after doing some looking around on the net, it's most likely a kernel issue.
How can I figure out exactly what is causing this issue so I can flash over the corrupt kernel and try to get it to work? I've tried flashing 3 different roms but none of them fix the problem so I'd like to try to find a way to figure out which individual kernel is causing it.
Post what you've installed and what you're running. Usually using a ROM that does a full wipe will usually solve any issues. Are you using ROM manager to do your installs or CWM?
Originally I was having this issue on 1.83. When I used rsdlite to flash the stock 2.3.4 sbf, it fixed the issue for me. I later tried to install the new androidmarket apk and the issue came back.
Since then, I've used Tenfar's CWM to flash Ninja SF, Alien, the CWM stock 2.3.4 and am now running piCrust but I haven't been able to fix it again.
My buttons won't work when i press them not exactly sure whats wrong but this began happening within the past few days. I've been running WTSB 3.5 latest update of 2.4 and Olympus Prime both of which use's a chad kernel which i'm not sure may or may not be the source of the problem. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

By LED buttons I'm going to assume you're referring to the 4 capacitive buttons across the bottom, Home, Menu, Back and Search.
Never really heard of any software disabling these buttons, either intentionally or accidently but doesn't mean it couldn't happen!
Quick shorter term and temporary approach: boot into the custom recovery and see if their lights flash or they work at all in the custom recovery. I remember at one point during TWRP development we had the lights flashing on them. Not sure what kinda support ended up but you should be able to get some type of response to at least indicate the hardware is working.
Long but thorough approach:
Since you are running a custom ROM and kernel, I would suggest first reverting back to Stock and wipe /data and /cache.
If everything works on a Stock ROM and kernel, then you know it has something to do with either the custom ROM, custom kernel or a custom setting configuration. From a known working stock configuration, you can customize one piece at a time checking after each customization step to make sure the buttons work.
Ideally, the buttons will break after a specific customization step and you'll be able to narrow it down to that step and approach the appropriate developer with your results who will then be able to dig into their code and look at the issue.
Hope that helps!
I'm having a few problems since rooting my i777. It randomly shuts down while I'm not using it, I think it's the messaging app causing this. I also can no longer get the phone to rotate into landscape mode for anything :/
Anyone know what might be going on?
Did you install any ROMs or just a simple root? Also, there's a setting that can disable rotation so check and see if that's enabled. I have no idea where it is on stock, considering I used it for a good day before I installed a custom ROM. Anyway, if you're still having persistent issues, I suggest just going to SHOstock ROM as it's very very close to stock but it's unbloated and performs better with better battery life.
I did install a custom ROM but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was, I went through some trouble because I was accidentally trying to install i727 stuff, so I just installed an i777 ROM someone linked me.
All settings are set to allow it to rotate. I'll try out SHOstock. Is it a ROM file I install from Clockwork Recovery Mode?
Hi,
I have used XDA for a while now for useful info on rooting and customising my phones with custom roms.
I am looking for some help.
I own a Galaxy Mega I9205 and have just installed the Note 4/S5 rom by bevin.
Wasn't easy as there were 2 different threads and 2 different methods.
First way of flashing the rom followed by a fix for I9205 users didn't really work. The fix pretty much wiped the rom and phone wouldn't boot. The thread stated to flash a stock modem of which I can't find any (not that I'm 100% sure what I'm looking for).
Found a .bin file HLOS-BIIN and flashed this after flashing the rom but without the fix and pretty much had same issue.
I tried the method on the second thread of downloading his backup file and restoring that. Had to re-flash stock rom first before this to get everything working again but all is pretty much good. Rom is near perfect and looks great. I have mobile data working and seems pretty stable.
The issue I have now is that my WiFi will not switch on. I flick the switch and it immediately deactivates itself.
I have tried several ways mentioned on here to sort it out but nothing works.
I tried the vcore2 root but that pretty much wiped the rom so yet again had to go through the whole process.
I believe the kernel controls WiFi functionality.
Does anyone know of any decent kernels for this device or any ways of fixing this WiFi issue?
I don't want to go back to stock because I love the whole look and functionality of the note 4 / S5 rom and looks great on this big screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Likely a rom/kernel incompatibility.
Did you see from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/development/rom-t3023133
i9205 Users. Soon after you download and install the above ROM from the links, flash this fix
File Name : i9205_New_Fix_13FFeb
New Fix : https://www.mediafire.com/?6la12p1y9s3cr45
After you flash this Fix, flash a Stock Modem for i9205
Reboot to setup and then Update SU binary when it asks and reboot again.

only custom kernel I see is [KERNEL] [4.4] [Multiboot] GraKernel by Grarak
and may not be compatible with current rom.
This thread will be moved to Galaxy Mega Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hi thanks for the reply.
I have already tried that fix but it just wipes the rom from the phone. When I reboot after flashing the fix it just boots into recovery mode so have to flash the rom all over again.
I'm sure there must be a way of manipulating the root files but just not sure how.
I compared the root files on my mega to those in my note 2 and it appears I have no binary files in my root wifi folder. This may be the cause.
I just need to somehow find the correct binary files for this particular phone.

just install other rom.
i think thats kernel problem. kernel modification in build prop make crash and wifi annot turning on. i suggest u changing your rom
