[ROM][CM9] Aoikaze Alpha 3 [7-8-12] Discontinued - Acer Iconia Tab A100

Ok, here's what I've been tinkering with for the last week or so, its a lightly modded CM9 base ROM. It's original intention was to be a ready to rock flash for my device, with all my apps and tweaks and whatnot already in place, so I could flash and go without having to setup all my stuff again.
This is based on that idea, minus most of the apps and whatnot.
I present Aoikaze Alpha 3!
Still a work in progress, but I felt a broader test base might be needed to find any oddities my tweaks may have caused.
Current ROM base:
Alpha 4 released 7-8-12
Updates:
Forgot to mention, this does have working rotation lock!
7-9-12: As per notsointeresting's suggestion, and a few complaints of dev-host's reliability lately, I setup androidfilehost to hold my stuff, I'll be slowly migrating everything over, then using dev-host as a mirror.
What is this based on?
This release is based on CM9 Alpha 4, I chose to rebase on this version as it should contain almost, if not all, fixes ghman, waydownsouth and the rest of those awesome devs have completed. I have not changed any of the source in favor of stability and reliability.
What does this come with?
Various build.prop tweaks, some apps such as:
Titanium Backup
Es File Manager
Epic Blue CM9 theme (thanks stetson!)
Apex launcher
All apps are the free versions, no warez here!
All extra apps are in /data/app so you can remove uninstall them without TiBu or anything else.
Init.d scripts for cleaning up the DB, permissions and cleaning the cache. They are named for what they do and sit in /system/etc/init.d for anyone who wishes to remove them.
Build.prop changes are marked for anyone wishing to remove or change them.
Did not include changes for it to be seen as an A500, it's still marked A100.
What does this NOT come with?
No paid for apps!
Does not include scripts that require script manager or any other app to run, which included the crossix mount swap and CPU Sleeper, both can not be run with init.d. Next release I may include them in /system/bin and include script manager for running them.
No extra bloat, no added sounds, wallpapers or anything else, just as it comes from CM.
Gapps not included as per CM's policy.
What else is planned for this ROM?
Currently working on a new method of calling script during sysinit that modifies the ram disk with more options for when a script will be run, right now it just runs everything at once, and can clash with anything else going on at the same time. I've tested this a few times and it still doesn't work properly, so if I get it working, this is will likely be alpha 4. It also means any init.d script can be set for anytime from early boot (literally as soon as the kernel takes over) to GUI showing up, to running before shutdown. It will allow an almost infinite ability to time when and how a script can/will be run without the need for changing the ramdisk (in the boot.img) anymore.
After that, I'm looking at theming the ROM, anyone who wants to help or even do it, please feel free to offer, I have no idea how to do this yet.

Thanks!
cdkg: Thanks for testing my early alpha.
gh123man, waydownsouth: For getting CM9 officially supported with CM9! Also, for answering my random questions and off the wall ideas in IRC.
randomblame: For also going along with my odd random thought processes in IRC.
da-pharoah: As always, for cheering me on and letting me bounce ideas off him on gtalk.
x0hell0x: His hellfire series inspired my wanting to try building a ROM for myself (and of course you guys).

Downloads
Optional:
Blackhole Wipe and Nullifier
Please read the OPs.
ezterry's Kernel
Again, please read all of his information. Kernel is not supported on CM9, so while it may work, it may have issues. I've not done extensive testing with his kernel on Aoikaze.
Required:
Gapps
Required for Play Store and misc framework (like gmail sync etc.)

I tried this, but unless I did something wrong, I didn't see any of the things that it said it came with. I wiped everything, and flashed then flashed gapps. Still nothing.

The only things you'll see is the apps. The scripts run at boot so you won't see anything from them. Or did you mean the apps don't show up?

The apps didn't show up... no big deal though cuz I just flashed over the cm9 nightly without a wipe and all my apps and data were still there... the only bug I ran into so far is the volume buttons are still stuck in landscape mode... also, the screen rotation lock switch on the side of the tab is working as well otherwise its working good so far. Here's what I got from just flashing without wipe;

Hey there. I see you're using Dev-host. Tried downloading had issues (not only this ROM) . personally I'd like to recommend androidfilehost.com , its always maintained, never seems to slow down and with an account you get unlimited storage/bandwidth, etc.
I use it as my main file host for Android now.
I'll continue trying to download from here though. Just very slow,and keeps stopping.
I'm excited to see your modifications from cm9 anyhow

Funny enough, I forgot to install it. I have done it since and still no issues, and battery life is still good. Watched Netflix for about an hour and only dropped 10% or so.

Well, some updates ran and now getting random reboots, what info do you need before I wipe and reflash?

What was updated? Still runs rock solid for me never a hiccup but I'm switching between this, kuroikaze and jellybean and restoring back, so I can't say its a solid week or whatever of running. I'm flashing 20 times a day, no I'm not exaggerating. For every alpha build number posted there is probably 5-10 personal builds that no one ever sees lol. Just depends how many tries it takes to get what I'm doing right.
Also, just wipe cache dalvik and data you can leave system alone most likely.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.

Weather Channel and Facebook updated, I cleared dalvik and cache then fixed permissions and rebooted, still shutdown and rebooted after a couple of minutes. Though the latest reboot I didn't restart CPUsleeper and hasn't rebooted. The funny thing is that I was going to try to post a battery screenshot in the morning but this hosed that up.
Is there a log that shows what caused the reboot? I ran log at from the terminal and got a huge screen of jibberish.

You'd have to catch it when it reboots, so basically sit there logging until it happens. Not real fun, and random reboots are hard to figure out because of how...random...they are. Leave CPU Sleeper off, and see if it still doesn't reboot.

Well it was still sitting at the same page on xda when I woke up, so it must be something with CPUsleeper. Thanks, I'll keep you posted.

This wouldn't bee too hard, since it reboots within minutes. Haven't timed it, but it wasn't long.

that will dump it into a file instead of flooding the screen.
CTRL C will cancel it.
If it is CPU Sleeper causing it, I'll (or you can) forward it to eugene for inspection.

Uber Kingdom rEVOlution 3D Flashing over...

Probably a stupid question but:
Since this ROM keeps on updating so frequently and the instructions to install take a bit of time, is it alright just to flash over without deleting all the data and cache and whatnot? Or if you don't will it bring many problems?
Post a link to it and I will test it a few times and get back to you. I have a 10 hour flight, I can burn some time with it lol
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well basically if he has changed or updated the base of the ROM between the two you will have probs. Basically things won't run correctly, get lots of force closes, rosie loops, that sort of thing. Really the amount of time it takes to wipe n flash isn't that bad so I do clean wipes every time its kind of force of habit so really I would suggest doing unless howls says otherwise or any dev for that matter. Happy flashing!
Sent from my Hybrid using XDA Premium App
yeah, definitely wipe every time... it's really not that tedious of a process. I still have all my texts and bookmarks for some reason, TB restores my MARKET apps and data, HTC restores my contacts, etc.
I know its a pain, but I just figure I'm already paying nothing for basically having a brand spanking new phone, the least I can do for the developer and myself is take my time and do it right.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088013
Here's the link to the ROM
And to everyoen else, thank you for your responses! They are all helpful and I guess I'll take the 5-10 min to wipe everything and do clean installs
Im using his latest version RSL0.6 and I can tell you that all those updates are worth it... about flashing over none of the devs recommend it because if you start to have issues they wont help you if you didnt follow theirs instructions... when I flash Uber Rom I usually only clean one time not tree like it says on the thread..... and I havent had any issues at all...
Hope this helps...

[Q] Constant freezes on multiple roms

I have been having some persistent freezes where I have had to pull the battery to get the phone to do anything at all. Here is what is happening:
1 - factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe DALVIK cache
2 - install either CyanogenMod 7 or TSM PoolParty rom
3 - restore apps only or apps+data via Titanium or download the apps new from the android market and amazon app store
At this point the phone works great and will remain running fine for any period of time. However when I install a new app (after my first batch install), the phone starts to freeze. The freezing requires me to pull the battery in order to regain any activity on my phone. But after the first freeze, the phone freezes after about 30-45 seconds regardless of what I am doing on the phone.
I'll admit to being a big noob when it comes to rooting roms so I don't know if there is any logs I can look at or what the proper troubleshooting actions should be. I want to keep root and the ASOP roms so any help would be most appreciated.
This used to happen to me. People blamed it on the Incredible 2 HD ROM. I blame it on the processor mixed with scripts that were found on sense. Try increasing your min frequency to the like 368000 one. I used aerovan's kernels with CPU Master/Set CPU with:
gov-smartass v2
max-111300
min-36800
---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------
You are also wiping wrong. You should wipe data/factory reset, format system, wipe dalvik.
Thank you for your reply AgalychnisCallidryas. Since I am using AOSP roms and not a Sense rom, would this fix still help (I still plan on trying what you said anyways)?
Also you mention that I am wiping wrong. Following your rom flashing guide, I am not sure what I format. I am not doing the back up steps (#1-6), and I don't see what to format before I get to step 12 where you install the rom.
Once again, thanks for your help and quick responses.
The steps I am talking about the CPU settings are FOR AOSP. Sorry for making it unclear. I was saying that the scripts in Sense fixed the problem, but there are no such ones in AOSP.
And I left the Format System out of my guide. Oops. Check it again, should be fixed now.
Well, I adjusted the cpu (I don't have gov-smartass v2 installed...and I honestly wasn't sure where to even get it from) using the settings in CM7 with no improvement. Is there anything else that you can think of?
Just a few questions?
Are you restoring with data on Titanium?
Are you undervolting?
I am willing to bet the problem is simple. What rom did you make your backup on? I have quit using titanium for all my backups unless there is game progress I am saving. I take the additional minutes to just install from market.

Also try flashing Areovan's kernal for AOSP.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Zax10,
I am using Titanium to restore my apps without system data, but the problem happens even when I download the apps new from the market (I'm approaching 9 GB of data because I have frozen so many times).
The problem has happened when restoring apps created on CM7 and TSM.
I do not mess with the voltage, other than the one attempt to fix my problem based upon what AgalychnisCallidryas said above.
I am currently trying Condemned CM7.2 rom and should it freeze again, then I will try adding in Arovan's Kernel....then I'll try Magnolia 2.0 rom
I would definitely flash Evans. 8 bfs kernel. I think changing cpu settings in cyanogenmod settings> cpu settings> I would change governor to either ondemand or interactive. Then I would check set on boot
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Arovan's Kernel didn't help and in CM7 the governor is set to ondemand by default. I think I'm going to load a sense rom and see what happens. Also are there any log files that I can look at that will tell me why the freeze is happening?
what version of aero's are you using? bfs or cfs?
aeroevan_aosp_0.8_bfs
I have also now ran into the problem of not being able to download any apps to my phone, regardless of the rom, when selecting the app directly on my phone (I can still push apps to it from the web). I'm not so worried about that as I did find some potential solutions to it that I have yet to spend much time on, but if you happen to have a solution for that too then I'm willing to listen.

I have flashed multiple gb roms with this same issue. My phine will power down at the least opportune times (at night and its my alarm clock). It can only be fixed by a battery pull and nothing else. Anyone know a solution to this, or even why it happens? Im desperate :-(

Hhhhmmmm, have you flashed any ROMs or was that a stock flash?
Even with stock flashes you can have issues just asking [for instance when I got a phone from Tmobile nothing would fix the shutdown menu not appearing for me then once I re-flashed a new ROM low and behold it worked].
Or if you are using the SmartAss V2 governor [or anyothers dependant on it like I believe lionheart is] in your CPU speed tweaking app you may want to use on demand or conservative instead. If you flashed any kernel, CPU tweak scripts you may need to check the values that applied [usually in init.rc folder somewhere as a script [just open in any text editor to read them]. Also definitely could be any UnderVolt settings [where you set voltage used by CPU under certain speed conditions and if set lower than the cpu can tolerate then when it switches to speed that is set too low is when it shuts off] . Undervolting can be done in either System Tuner or Faux Clock [swipe screen to left on open and viola global under/over volt setting ]. If you have not done any of these things or are unsure read below and see if that helps.
What I would try [in order]
First run backups in titanium backup and nandroid [titanium is so you can restore apps back without having to re-install and reset your settings and nandroid just to be safe if you are newer to working with Android Devices in this way]
Then Reboot in to recovery [on boot [right after you feel the very first vibrate] hold BOTH vopl keys in [press in center] and release when you see Samsung Logo, just be sure you release before it goes off screen]
Tap Clear Cache [in Main Menu]
Tap Clear Dalvick Cache [in advanced]
Flash Fix Permissions script [found in QA and in Dev threads for this phone] you want the Fix Permissions v2 by Minotauri zip [look at my past posts I have linked my mirror page to many posts]
You just save it to either internal or external sd and flash it just like you would when installing a ROM in cwm Recovery Menu
and reboot and see what happens [this should nail it really after clearing both caches and fix perms I bet]
if that does nothing reboot clear caches [if you had to wait to see] and go to mounts and storage and format /data [only]
Restart and see what happens...
If that really does nothing be sure to re-download your ROM via WiFi ONLY [or copy from computer]
be sure to flash darkside super wipe [google it, my mirror page, the forums, its everywhere] and Kernel Cleanser Script BEFORE YOU FLASH THE ROM
[Like So]
Boot in to recovery Flash Darkside Super Wipe
Flash Kernel Cleanser [another script [google, my mirror page, forums again]]
Then Flash ROM [and NOTHING else]
Boot phone [skip account setup we'll be back] wait 3 min after initial lockscreen if unsure] and don't do anything [no app installs setting adjusts nothing]
Restart in to Recovery again
Wipe Cache and Dalvick Cache
Install aany helper zips [like super user, toggles zip whatever with any custom radio being the last thing]
Restart Phone
You should not have shutdown freeze after reboot and clearing cache you should prolly still have it on initial boot, pull battery if needed and manually boot in to recovery as above.

I have this same issue but no solution. It happens about 2 times a month, not enough to bother me but I have to pull the battery to get working again. I am using Juggs 5.0 with CPU tuner and the sophisticated profile minimum clock is 192 Max is 1512. I did do a super wipe before flashing and cleared caches and so forth. I was using gingersnap rom before and I wanna say it was happenening then too but I could be wrong. I always assumed it was something to do with the cpu settings, usually happens when I start an app shortly after waking the device.

My min clock speed is 192, and i am on jugg 5.0, but have had the same issue with foxstar and another rom that i cant remember. I havent messed with oc/uv settings, and have even eliminated my setcpu screen off profile so it wont happen in theory while not in use. Usuly it happens while being used in non-cpu-intensive apps like dolphin of tapatalk.
I have since cleared dalvik and cache (again) and it hasnt happened yet after a few hours. Only time will tell!

Possible fix for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 Sleep of Death.
Hey I had to work on a couple of phones just like your phone. After a couple of weeks with the phone, I found this out by accident and maybe it can help. Instead of just writing down the steps I made a video let me know if it works. I was able to reproduce on a couple of phones but don't know for sure if it is just a luck.
Here is my video.

I have flashed multiple gb roms with this same issue. My phone will power down at the least opportune times (at night and its my alarm clock). It can only be fixed by a battery pull and nothing else. Anyone know a solution to this, or even why it happens? Im desperate

JB roms suddenly not working?

I'm just going to throw this out there for anyone who may know the answer, after searching for the last 3 days, I'm not finding anyone else having the same problem, so I'm thinking it may be something I did. Here's the issue.
I'm a confirmed flash-a-holic, and flash new roms or backups probably 2-3 times per week. I haven't tried any of the JB roms until recently, but dove in just before Nit's Viper Rom became available for ICS. I had installed the JB "global" rom, and had it working(ish), and then changed to the viper mod, then installed Aeroevan's "unofficial JB" when the 10/25 update on Goo.im came available. The install went smoothly and it worked great for about a day, then tanked big time when I tried to change the launcher from Trebuchet to Nova (I can't even guess why THAT had anything to do with it). It started lagging big time and then boot looping. Now, upon trying to wipe everything (factory reset/cache/dalvik/all partitions but sd), I get nothing but boot loops and NONE of the JB roms will install. From my reading, I know others get boot loops, but after a sequence, finally get into setup. Mine will too after 5-6 boot loops minimum, but the screen freezes on the initial setup screen and it's completely unusable (touch screen unresponsive). I don't get why that is when I HAD it installed the other day and it was very responsive (using Aeroevan's JB mod). I WAS using the 4EXT recovery when I started doing all of this, then switched recoveries to the most recent TWRP, and it allowed me to install Aeroevan's JB mod, and even start the setup, but very soon started lagging and then the boot loops again. At this point, I'm sortof at a loss, and the only thing I can think of is that maybe I should NOT have been wiping the sd partitions and SHOULD have only been wiping cache/dalvik/factory reset. At the moment, anyway all ICS mods are flashing/running just fine (currently on Nit's Vipermod and really liking it btw), but if anyone knows where I went astray, I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks all, this is by far the best forum I have been a part of!

Which radio did you flash?
Ok, I made headway by reverting TWRP recovery back to 4ext's newest recovery, restored my oldest original stock GB backup with ext3 partitions which was originally a CWM recovery. I let it run after install for about 10 minutes without updating anything, then 4Ext wiped data, cache/dalvik, system. I then reformatted all partitions back to 4ext and then wiped everything again even fixing permissions. Then I tried a fresh install to Aeroevan's unofficial CM10 from 10/25 and gapps from 10/11. Install went smoothly and booted first time with no boot loops. I'm using it right now and I'm back in the butter again..... for now at least. If I take a turn for the worst, I'll post back.
Ok, well, scratch that, I am having the same problems a couple of other guys are having in the cm10 dev thread. I'm only able to run sense roms, original stock, UKBII, etc, no ICS or JB roms work, incredibly laggy and bootlooping endlessly. I have never had this much trouble flashing roms, I do it all the time. Sadly, it started when I flashed the viper rom, and I don't even have a copy of it to re-flash now since I wiped my card and it wasn't backed up on my computer (I think I must've downloaded it from my phone). I have spent WAY too much time on this, so am now relegated to only lurking here until someone can find a solution that's not just "firing down the well" like I've been doing since this started.

On follow-up, I read mixed opinions about the wisdom of using TiBu on restores, assuming I'm able to ever recover this my thinking is that one could use TiBu to restore apps ONLY and NO data and that would/should not cause a problem (assuming you're restoring a backup from within your installed ROM's file structure .i.e., JB/ICS/GB)? Also, I use My Backup Pro to restore call/MMS/texts only, that oughta be safe too shouldn't it?
I had a similar issue last night. never had problems flashing from viper to cm10 till yesterday. I've flashed back and forth about 3 times until I flashed the leaked 4.2 camera with sphere camera on aero cm10 Halloween build. I was playing around with the sphere camera and attempted to get it to actually finish loading the pics together by overclocking to 1.4mhz and I ended up pulling the battery. it boot looped very slow and laggy after. I did a full wipe, fresh install of aeros cm10 from twrp and got the same thing. So I recovered viper Rom from twrp , booted, then did a full wipe and install of cm10 and still boot loops laggy. I did not have the overclock settings "set at boot" ticked when I put it to 1.4mhz. odd indeed

So... I was having no issues until today's huge headache. I was on cm10 10-25 and it worked great. Dirty flashed to 31 and it all went to hell. Slowed to a crawl so restarted to recovery to fix permission. Restarted and it kept restarting. I got some failure message when it would boot. Don't recall what it was.
I then tried 3 different recoveries and also full wipes and fresh flashes of 3 different roms. Same loop result basically. Finally an old recovery worked and I'm on a month old mrom version now. Soo... any thoughts on what the heck happened? I did nothing out of the ordinary. I was worried I somehow bricked but obviously not since I'm sending this on my phone. Kinda freaked to do anything right now... any thoughts or help/ideas?
PS... I just use the basic cwm and only cwm for my recoveries.

so I got aeros 10/31 build to boot after taking 10 min to finish the start up set-up. it was extremely laggy, it would random restart a few times. I played around with over clocking then under clocking but the cpu was maxed out 24/7. I'm assuming this is what is causing the extreme lag. I changed the governor to on demand and it started to act normal and not lag out. so I used it for awhile then I decided to change the cpu governor back to smartassv2 and then I was back to lag and the cpu was maxxed again... can't recreate the scenario cuz it doesn't boot now...
my conclusion is it has to due with the kernel and cpu governors on JB. I've tried aeros jb 12, 13,14,and 15 kernel and also Evans kernel with no luck on getting the cpu not to b maxed out... hope this helps solve the issue

Unfortunately I too am finding it near impossible to flash any ICS/JB ROM. The closest I've gotten is the Google sign-in on Andromadus Mimicry, but that practically slows to a halt when signing in. As of now I'm on Condemned CM7 and I must say I REALLY miss Google Music.

Baby mamas INC 2 has been having same issues. I have to believe it had something to do with her being on the ICS leak from back in September with the 320 radio. I went as far as to getting back to compete stock with s-off. Got back to 2.3.3, got CWM and root. Hopefully I can try getting her phone back on CM9-10 cuz she really misses it and we were having EXACT problems stated above. Boot loops, touch screen not responsive, wallpaper would change out of nowhere, lock screen would be black with nothing but hardware buttons lighting up. Thank GOD for these devs and their work to get back to stock or I would have thrown this POS out the window lol.

I did the revert a while back for some other issues and didn't have any trouble getting aeroevan's CM10 up and running. I haven't had any issues with it other than the persistent bugs which are no problem for me. I don't think these issues have anything to do with the radio, but with the way the stuff is getting flashed. You might try a different recovery. I have had success with TWRP and CWM (as installed from ROM Manager, not touch) restored from a backup for me, but I didn't install using CWM.

Galaxy S3 T-Mobile Problems. AOKP the reason?

My galaxy s3 on tmobile has been overheating, dying fast, charging slow, and randomly rebooting the past week. I'm running AOKP MR1 milestone. I'm thinking maybe AOKP is the issue, but not too sure.
What are some other stable good vanilla 4.2.2 roms I can try? thanks
Probably.
I'm running AOKP without any issue. What have you installed recently? Did you flash custom kernel, overclock cpu, change cpu voltages, etc...? Download OS Monitor app and see which processes are eating cpu and your battery. Maybe it's time to wipe everything clean: factory reset, wipe external sdcard, and reflash the ROM. An sdcard full of stuffs can cause the media scanner process to run long and eat up battery.

I wouldnt go as fsr as blaming the rom right away, especially if its a milestone. More kernel related and or user error. Give us more info to help you solve this so you can use your the way you want to.

There have been problems with the new kernel versions that have been merged into the ROMs. Take CM10.1 for example, each nightly is iffy. You never know when it's gonna be buggy or not. So far, my phone has been constantly rebooting.

That's why people use custom kernels. Not just for overclocking, but also for picking up the slack on the CM kernel.
More like kernel related but yes aokp and cm10.1 can mess up your phone at times

Yes, but even with custom kernels it can get buggy. No kernel is one-size fits all since each chip is unique. You gotta pick and choose which kernel works best for your phone.

I was having that issu as well but it was with touch wiz roms and kernels it actually ended up being a dud phone and battery. .. I have done a warranty exchange and it fixed it I also got an anker battery too and its been doing good only gets hot when I have it on charge and use it.. so it would ight not be just the rom. Try a different kernel see if its the battery getting hot and go from there. Isolation is key bud:thumbup:

This morning my phone was stuck on the AOKP boot logo and it was overheated like crazy. I did a battery pull and waited for the phone to cool down. After that I booted it back up, but the battery drained pretty fast and the phone still heated up.
I did not flash any custom kernals or anything. Just AOKP milestone 1.
Maybe I will wipe the entire phone and reflash aokp.
OR
Are there any roms that are better than AOKP and what is the best kernal to flash?
Thanks.

I've been running AOKP since 2 hours after I got my d2tmo, initially KAsp3rd's unofficial builds, and now the official "nightly" builds... I have been using a very stable build since January, but recent official developments have me flashing regularly again.
Every single build since JB 4.2.2 MR1 has been very unstable on my device, somewhat randomly rebooting quite regularly... I say "somewhat" randomly because there are a certain few actions I can perform which will cause reproducible immediate reboots on demand, including but not limited to trying to DISABLE* USB Debugging. I've noticed that the device is far more likely to reboot itself when attempting to run apps as superuser. I noticed that Koush's Superuser app/infrastructure is embedded/integrated in the ROM and when I installed the latest version from the Google Play Store, it said that my su binary was out of date, so I updated it... It didn't resolve the random reboots, but when the device did reboot next, it performed some additional setup steps, including prompting me for my first & last name which was really odd because the initial setup had, I thought, been completed, and the device had been rebooted (by itself mostly) at least a dozen times prior to this.
I suspect these issues might have something to do with the superuser integration in the ROM and I ask that you who are experiencing similar random reboots take note of any patterns such as whether it occurs more often when attempting to perform superuser privilege escalation.
Currently I'm testing whether setting "Superuser Access" to "Disabled" helps at all. I'll report my findings once a conclusion is established.
*I'm trying to disable it to troubleshoot why the device doesn't show up when I issue `./adb devices` on my PC running Ubuntu 12.10 Linux; it doesn't even show up in the list of connected USB devices when I issue a `lsusb` command which is weird. I've rolled back to my backup of the January AOKP 4.1.2 build and confirmed that the device is visible to adb, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with my hardware...
P.S. I've posted about it in the new official d2tmo AOKP Nightly thread on the RootzWiki Forum (linked above).

Disabling Superuser didn't seem to help at all. It has still rebooted itself twice since then.

PM me for a modified SlimBean build I use if interested. No random reboots and I have had the same issue in the past. Also, you could try wiping 3 times (cache,dalvik, factory reset and system) and then install KT747. Its the most up to date kernel as far as the patches and drivers go.

Why should any amount of crashes or random reboots be "acceptable" to anyone when there are so many
other roms in these xda forums to choose from which do not crash at all and are full of excellent features? LOL
Make a backup. Wipe cache and data. Then try another rom

did you try reformatting your sdcard(s), factory reset, format /system partition (via recovery), and reflash the ROM? maybe just reformat the sdcards first, and see if that helps.

I ended up flashing like a touchwiz galaxy s5 themed kitkat rom, which I have been using since September. Before that I used cyanogenmod 11. Haven't tried AOKP in a long time. When I get time I plan to flash some lolipop rom I guess.
Is there any activity on AOKP any longer, loved rom but it looks like 10/18/14 is the last build i can find.....
