I've been searching the forum but I cannot figure this out.
My International Galaxy Player 5:
Model: YP-G70
ROM: Stock XXKPL
Kernel: Rumirand's R14
Firmware: 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Launcher: Xperia S
Rooted: Yes
Inevitably, after the device being on for an hour or so, the camera starts malfunctioning. By that I mean it either doesn't load up completely (only black screen + status bar, in landscape mode on top of that) or I take one pic and then the touch screen doesn't respond, requiring a hard boot.
Also, after being powered on for an hour or longer (seems to be a trend here), the device won't wake up or respond, forcing me to hard boot it.
The SD Card reader also randomly convinces itself that by some odd chance that the SD card has been unexpectedly removed, forcing me to hard boot it.
I should also note that I've noticed when the camera is having it's fit, misbehaving, so too does PowerAmp; it won't launch either.
Most of these issues are more frequent, if not caused by, with the Xperia S launcher.
Now my question to you is...why? Why all of these problems?
That's weird. Are those problems of yours disappear afterwards? I sometimes have problems with the camera, but after awhile it disappears, or appears after several weeks or so.

These problems are very consistent, averaging 1.5 times a day actually. It's quite a hindrance to constantly have to reboot.
Oh! I forgot one other problem: sometimes, recently, when connecting my aux cable, PowerAmp won't auto-play like it usually does. No big deal but I'm just saying. All of these little problems really add up to an unhappy time!
Did this problems appear before or after you rooted and flashed custom kernel? You can try reinstalling stock fw, kernel and root, and see if that will help...

Well, I have the stock fw/ROM/Build of GINGERBREAD.XXKPL but I need to know what the stock kernel is. Also, are you advising to unroot the device as well? I can't tell.
Update: Okay so apparently the device is acting up quite a lot today! While listening to music with PowerAmp through Aux the device wouldn't respond to waking the screen at all. Yet, it was playing music just fine. This tells me that it wasn't accepting any input but could output just fine. I wonder what causes this..Right now in the past 1 hour it has needed me to hard boot it 3 times!
What could be the problem?
Im suggesting you to reinstall stock fw, then install rj14, and root.. but before that, have you tried going back to factory settings?

If by factory settings you mean "Factory Data Reset" in CWRecovery menu then yes. All the time with each new flash.
I was fairly certain I've been reinstalling the stock ROM but not sure about the kernel! I really would like to take this back to stock settings. I've tried by myself but maybe I'm locating the wrong ROM and stuff.
Would someone be so kind as to link me to the stock ROM and Kernel please? Thanks!

Thanks but that link is broken, it isn't pointing to any specific thread. Also, I know how to check my current kernel but I wasn't asking for that. Unless I'm misunderstanding of course. I'm actually looking for the stock kernel so I can download it.

Personally, I think you have bad hardware - consistent, unique problems even on stock. If you aren't overclocking, then the only thing that would force you to reboot that often is malfunctioning hardware.

Okay so KPL is YP-G70's Stock and not KPF? Thanks, I'm going to flash this with Odin and hope for the best!
Update: Flashed this ROM:
Firmware: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXKPL
So am I back on stock everything now?

I seriously believe it's a hardware issue as well. My samsung warrantee is still in effect and I might just use it. I will decide after even more stock rom and kernel testing. I assume I need to put the device back to stock settings to send to samsung lol.
Any update on issues?

I have been having the exact same problems you listed ever since I bought my device, (especially where the SD card randomly unmounts, which drives me absolutely CRAZY.) I was wondering if you ever found a solution to your problems?
Sidenote: I only experienced these problems when using the stock ROM. I started using CM9, and all the issues except for the unmounted SD card stopped occurring, (SD card unmount issue was way less frequent.) My device went haywire one day, so I had to flash a Stock kernel back onto the device, and all of the problems reappeared. Have you experienced the same frequency of issues using any other ROMs?

These problems never went away and I've set the device aside for now. I reinstalled stock ROM and kernel (I think), and am waiting for the problems to reoccur before shipping it off to samsung.
Honestly the best ROM for the device might have been Chip's. But its such a ugly ROM so I went to stock and wanted to monitor the device a bit further.

anything available in the root department yet? or the knox removal for that matter?
not a big deal what languages are available though, more concerned about the root and knox, but gonna flash the rom itself tonight to see if dutch is available as well.
It's only just out so nothing custom yet. I've messaged wanam requesting him to work his magic. Hopefully things will start rolling soon.

it takes a while to get their touchwiz working completely for a huge list of different devices and in all fairness 4.4 came not that long after 4.3
as soon as samsung manages to deliver 4.4 with touchwiz, google has released a new android version again so samsung will always be lagging behind
too bad the camera in aosp roms isn't compareable to the stock samsung one otherwise i would've been on 4.3 aosp or 4.4 already as well, its one of the only things actually holding me back of flashing aosp roms ^^ (also sound in some roms is kinda low by default)

his xposed module works in 4.3 roms though ^^ been using it on the skynote 3 rom
but i'm gonna flash the stock rom later today and wait till there's root and such, untils it becomes available. don't believe its impossible to revert back to 4.1.2 stock if i want rooted stuff ^^
Anyone knows is there a stock Stock 4.3 TW for Korean variant？

don't think so honestly, otherwise people would've succesfully done that with the skynote 3 from the at&t thread
also no root available yet, but as soon as root becomes available, you can use devilkernel,
currently i'm using skynote3 (at&t leak) with devilkernel ^^ but rather have the official as i reckon that one is more bugfree than a leaked rom ^^
you could try if the skynote3 rom is more to your liking, it works (mostly) but there are some bugs present, it has root and no knox.
Can this ROM be installed on a Korean Note 2 (e250s) with a boot converter?
I mean if I can use N7105 modem?
Thanks.

As far as i know,the converter is only used for AOSP.Can it be worked for TW?
i only need root for "greenify" and filemanager. but i definitely need recovery.
most the apps i use dont really need root. but i wouldnt want a non rooted phone. funny enough

what's android kitchen? still got around 30 min left on the download but could look into the android kitchen stuff.
my rom officially is from t-mobile netherlands, but i do not specifically need a t0ltetmo rom as the only thing different for my device when flashing my stock rom is the t-mobile apps and the boot screen from them.
its not like i have a special contact app like AT&T has or anything like that in my stock rom.
GT-N7105 (t0lte) is the one i'm normally aiming for, the rom released for nordic countries doesn't look carrier specific to me either. reckon the only thing that i do need root for is the language enabler, don't know if netherlands is unlocked as a locale by default. I did run stock unrooted rom the last few weeks until someone pointed out last week the at&t 4.3 leak worked on the 7105 models as well, so i got myself root again and installed it. I don't really run any other apps that require root normally.

i've tried the first omnirom 4.4 when it got released but the camera didn't function at all for me, later i read up and noticed that most 4.4 issues where related to twrp recovery, flashing with cwm 6.0.4.1 should've worked but was already playing with skynote by then
its not just quality though, its the fact that samsung has a built in anti-shake option, and i can't seem to get steady shots without it, my hands are shaking a little bit and i can't seem to keep my device steady enough without it. (haven't seen that option in the aosp camera's)
camera worked on 4.3 aosp roms for me, but i didn't like the quality from those, and again the shaking of the hands didn't help either

as far as i read up (including the thread it linked to for the 7105 and such) you need to be rooted in order to flash the rom after you customized it with the kitchen.
as the kitchen creates a flashable zip and not an odin flashable file.

It would need to be a ported Rom with the libraries needed for out radio instead.
Afraid you will need to wait until someone makes a custom Rom
I'm about to ditch this S5 t-mobile. It looks like we're not getting the update to lollipop any time soon. It's bull they're getting it everywhere but the SM-G900T version. I may be a little harsh and a cry baby but this is just getting nuts. 4.4.2 just runs like crap force closes apps closing. Even on custom rom that are good roms but there's still issues. Enough is enough time to go to the nexus line. J.S

From what I understand, Samsung's currently testing 5.0 on the T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint S5's. They started it about two or three weeks ago.
Supposedly, the Note 4 / Note Edge testing will start next week.
Yeah.
Samsung looks like they are being fairly aggressive to get this update out.
I think this is another way they are trying to compete with Apple devices.
They want their updates to go through as quickly as possible.
I have no desire to update to LP personally, I enjoy the ability to customize everything about my ROM. If I didn't have a rooted phone, or want one, then sure I'd update to LP. No Xposed, and all the annoyances of having TW? No thanks.

Thanks for trying, the Sprint leak requires the 5.0 bootloader in order to boot. I suspect the bootloader is also required with this build Anyway, thanks for testing.
Ive yet to update to the NK2 but that would still be 4.4.2 and not 5. and since 5 is not out it would be impossible to update to the 5.0 BL.
I've tries latest v65-sdk22 and it doesn't want to install in twrp. Sdk21 version just bootloops or freezes at bootup. Any ideas?

not very clear information. please explain?
I'm pretty sure there is no version that is compatible with our HAM2 on Lollipop, yet.
Perhaps we have to modify the build.prop again?
Which reminds me, I still have yet to root my phone.
I have tried the build prop theme changes and about everything I can think of ...both versions for 5.1 hang at boot.
It took forever for xposed to come out for Lollipop because that's when Android made the official jump from Dalvik to ART. Then it appears that certain manufacturers modify the ART runtime on top of that.
It looks like Huawei is one of those companies. Samsung also did it, but they have such a huge fan base that they had a dev that came up with a work around. It's possible that someone will do the same for Huawei eventually, probably for another phone or tablet that could possibly work for us, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I looked into it and it will prevent booting. Likely to do with emui. Tom is waiting on kernel source so he can make a stock rom. Xposed will then work. Patience is key.
Stock rom? As in, AOSP? Or what?

keep us updated I'm working 16 hrs x 3 days so no real play time.
Tomorrow I might attempt a 4.3 downgrade. Getting real tired of the bugs, and I dearly miss Viper and Xposed. I have root but didn't flash TWRP so hopefully the official way will work.
Today I even did a factory reset but it seems to have made things worse somehow.

I am using the new unified TWRP, here is what I have tried, with the outcomes.
Use unified TWRP to restore a JB backup I made before LP>>>Won't boot, just boots TWRP over and over.
Use unified TWRP to install Xordos' b148 flashable>>>Boots, but internal SD card is unwritable.
Use old JB version of TWRP to install Xordos' b148 flashable>>>Same as unified TWRP, broken internal SD
I also had a lot trouble doing the official downgrade. Most of the problem was me not reading the instructions, and thinking I just had to throw the b148 dload/update.app on my sdcard, but there is alittle more to it than that. Also, i think you need to have the newest stock recovery installed. I tried it with TWRP installed, obviously it loaded TWRP instead of the stock recovery and failed. I then flashed a stock recovery that I had on my PC, thought it was the new one but I could be wrong, but that also failed. So I just did a full official LP upgrade again with the LP update.app, that gives you all the right stuff and I was then able to do the official downgrade.
I just did that like 5 minutes ago and it appears to be working! So, it looks like its going to be a loooong process going from LP to JB, or vice versa. Wish you could just use TWRP, but I don't think you can.

You know, Viper works on Lollipop? You have to install busy box, install the viper driver, disable low power audio, and start the app after every reboot, but it works!
Sigh. OK I will get the step daughters CC and make a flashable rom.zip from it. Didn't really want to go back to messing with roms much but it looks like there is a need. Can't do it tonight I have a sick 3 year old. I will tomorrow. Maybe afterwards I can make a flashable L zip to make going back and forth easier. Haven't done the L flash yet... But looks like cake walk. Sadly it will overwrite anything you have on the phone.

Ark, from what I have looked at xposed will not work with emui lollipop.

Do you think the Viper driver will fix my stupid audio cutting out bug? If it will, then maybe I'll stay with 5.1.
Edit: Actually, thanks for reminding me. I hate the whole "start apps on boot manually even though it says start on boot" thing.
Here is update.zip pulled from cache on phone this AM, only 255MB, so just maintenance but at least is something to play with.

I must have been on too much turkey . As I could tell your stock rooted version can be "dirty" installed over ZVB. I am going to give it a shot later today.
Thanks.

I'm running 5.0.1 LS990ZVC unrooted. What do I need to do to root my device? Like, which guide is right for me?

How do I root my Sprint G3 if I am using the stock rom running 5.0.1 with LS990ZVC update?
This thing had a nasty battery leecher that according to battery usage under settings was from wifi calling which would never activate even though it would switch on and locate me. I froze the service/app and thought i got rid of the problem... Still there so i ended up reflashing the entire rom and running ##rtn# to reset everything. Now it works so far...

This most definitely does NOT work on ZVC
