I've tried looking for the definition of "SOD" but couldn't find it. what does it mean? (sorry if it's a noob question)
also, i've been running unofficial JB roms from Cyanogen and AOKP, but both of them randomly freeze up and restart my phone. and when they try to restart, they dont do anything after the initial samsung logo pops up. any possible explanations for that? i figured it couldn't be a bad download when it happens with two different roms...but i could be wrong. should i flash different kernels? and any way i could expand my battery life on ROMs? my battery sucks on most ICS/JB roms...
Sod is sleep of death.
Did you try darkside cache wipe? That could fix boot loops

i did, but im talking about the ROM actually working and in the middle of an application or something, it'll freeze up and try to restart. and i have to take the battery out and put it back in for it to completely boot up again.
AFAIK what you describe is sod. Freeze and have to take out the battery to reboot. RR=random reboots, where it reboots ant not freeze

Actually, SOD is the behavior in which the phone goes into "sleep" mode... typically screen off, and then won't wake up with power button.
From what i've read... SOD happens when you do really aggressive clocking to save battery life. There seems to be two states of CPU, when the screen is on, and off. Depending on how / what state / governor is used... you could get SOD. I forgot all the various threads I've read this on... but search for it and you should find a ton.
The behavior you're having is more of an RR than a SOD. Granted you're freezing up. The better question is... are you following all of the ROM OP's instructions? Have you been RESTORING apps from backup? Bottom line is... DON'T.
DON'T install zip's/mod's that aren't included and validated by the OP. This includes kernels. The JB CyanogenMod and AOKP threads I believe say don't flash any other kernels yet.
DON'T restore from backup. At least don't do it until you know you're stable with just the ROM itself.
That'd be a start...
No need for battery pull. Just hold down power button till you feel phone vibrate. Between 10-20 seconds.

ahh i see. well that's annoying lol. ironically, the battery life is still not that great on my ROMs haha. but yeah i did follow up instructions from the OP. now when you say restoring apps...does that include things like messaging? i don't restore things like facebook/group me/flipboard or anything like that. usually just messaging and call storage data that i restore via Titanium Backup. does that count? and no i also havent tried to install any mods or kernels of my own. i usually just use the ones that the ROM comes with.

Thing is, I've been running the latest builds of CM10 with little to no SOD or RR issues and I've been restoring data from backups of the previously nightlys builds using TWRP. Granted, each phone is different... But each phone is different lol. Precautionary advice is good I suppose, but to me it would create a hassle if I had to start with fresh data on my apps whenever I updated. Of course, I don't report bugs, but I'm sure a lot of users don't regardless.

What's up everyone! just needed some advice if you don't mind. lately my phone's been freezing randomly, and it seems like my battery life has been getting crappier..
was wondering if I should just Odin back to stock and re-flash everything, do you think that would cure my ills?
I started with my first ROM -- srf1.1.0 and loved it... tried the vision kernel 1.1, tried genocide 1.0... LOVED vision 1.2 but went back to 1.1 because ppl started getting bricks..
i don't know if it's data corruption (have journalling off), or if it's like artifacts from vision kernel 1.2 (it didn't give me any problems, honestly my fav kernel with insane battery life it seemed)
yesterday i restored a back up that was pre-ext4.. and it when that rebooted i had the "android" flashing over the original sprint bootup animation, so i rebooted and got thrown into a boot loop. pulled battery, booted into cwm and restored into a more recent backup that was post-ext4 and things seem to be fine.. except i've gotten maybe two random freezes since.
so yea, do you think Odin to stock and reflashing srf will bring me back to bliss, or.. am i screwed, or somewhere in between? i've read as much as i could but i know i'm a newb, so i'm grateful for any wisdom y'all can throw my way. THANKS!

Yes, it will. You did a number on your data, so it's little wonder things weren't working well for you. If you get freezes, use VisionKernel 1.1 or Genocide.

Most important while figuring out which is best, enable file system journaling by doing a cwm backup and restore right after the clean build. This will help the more unstable phenon from recurring in the future.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
update: so last night i ODIN'd back to EB13, ODIN'd the EC05 modem, and reflashed SRF1.1.0 and things were great... until i flashed fugutweaks (it seemed like that was the culprit).. then i started getting lots of FCs for gmail mail calendar and google framework...
wiped data/cache/dalvik x3 in cwm and reflashed SRF1.1.0 and things have been good.
can someone confirm this point? --> i think i've learned not to do more than one thing in cwm at a time. like if i fix permissions, then i should reboot before flashing the impaled keyboard tweak, etc.. is that correct? i think i do remember getting lazy before and doing two things in cwm before rebooting, or something like that.
i also think i learned that i can't just replace bootanimation.zip in the SRF1.1.0 .zip file with a different one -- is that because the zip is "signed"?
all in all... i thank all of you guys here -- i'm learning lots and i'm grateful that i have knowledgeable peeps to turn to when i've done something i wasn't smart enough to realize was dumb =)

Journaling shortens the life of your phone. More writes = faster nand corruption.
by as much as ext4 vs rfs... which would equate to a few days shorter life over the lifespan of your phone.. all the backup restores, and odin flashes more than make up for the journal writes anyway...

I know I had an ssd on a netbook and thought the same. If you are talking the difference of 30 years on the storage v s 100 years...I personally don't care about that as nobody will ev en recal the epic on that time. I think the life shortening thin is negligable due to the use expectancy of the phone.

My phone is always shutting itself off or randomly rebooting. The most it has ever gone without a reboot is 3 days and lately thats a stretch. I am running phantom hackers blazer rom. Is this just something that you go through when rooted? I love this phone but i hate goin to use it and see that its off. Sometimes i consider getting rid of this thing and goin with an iphone because of how stable they are. My bro has an iphone and it is pure rock solid!

Yes, I think it is software related. Only time I ever get a random reboot is from something software related being off. Could be ROM, kernel, theme, just about any thing. That's why you want to start fresh. Caulks ROM is dead solid stable.

rbtrucking -- are you undervolted? The only time I've had any stability/reboot problems with this phone were when I was a little too aggressive with the undervolt (or overclocked to 1.7ghz ). I'm on calk's 2.8.1 with steadyhawkin's gunslinger kernel btw.
Phones the most reliable I've ever had now that the los is gone. I undervolt mine considerably. I have 3 other friends with thus phone 2 of them not rooted. The stocks have more issues then rooted ones I swear with reboot hot reboots freezing..getting sticky on transitions . Each phone just handles each Rom a lily different....YMMV

Nope I am not undervolting or overclocking at all. I leave the cpu settings alone as I find the phone to be plenty fast and overclocking can drastically decrease the life of a cpu especially without proper cooling. I have heard nothing but amazing things about calkulins roms though maybe I will give it a try. Anyone else having any issues like mine on Phantom Hackers Blazer rom?

Ya I actually already had an sd card go bad on me and had to remove it because my phone would literally reboot every 10 minutes and sometimes I would have to pull the battery out for a little while to get it to go back on. The sd card was really really old though, came with my original evo. Since removing the sd card the reboots are allot less frequent but they still do occur but usually no more than once a day sometimes every couple days.
In 3 months I had one reboot...

Well all I can say is I flashed calkulins rom with the pure honey theme and this **** is HOT!! I really never knew using titanium backup that you dont lose ANYTHING! For some reason I always thought it just backs up apps! Had I known this I would have been flashing new roms allot more frequently though I love this one soo much I will definitely be sticking with it for some time. Lets just hope it runs stable on my phone! So far no complaints but it has only been about 10 minutes! Thank you for recommending this rom!

Since day one my phone reboots on average 2 times a day and overheats and/or shuts off at least once a wk. For me, it's not software related as I have tried every rom.
Today it just started a new thing where it will boot up (go through the animation) and then the screen will go dark to where I can't do anything. Right before it goes dark, the animation will freeze. I am able to get into the recovery though, and have wiped the cache and dalvik.

Haven't had any trouble with the battery drain using IcePop rom! but of course flashing any new rom, you have to let it settle for 1 to 2 days / charge cycles for the os to stabilize!
I've been running it since day of release.... Using battery apps all reports that the Android OS using a heavy % and/or the phone isnt always going into deep sleep.
And its happening even before I put a google account on or install any apps.
I suppose I could go back to G9 or the H2 release... might do it as a test, to see if it really is the J3 release thats causing me problems.

Hi,
My GN was fine when I purchased it a month ago, brand new, but its so sluggish that its almost unusable. Phone dialer, Messaging and almost all apps load with a 3-5 second delay, even the keyboard opens after a few seconds.
I'm on stock 4.2.1 (deodexed) and even flashed fugumod kernel just today hoping it would fix things, I even factory reset it but no joy.
Could it be a hardware issue? is there any way I could run some quick tests to see whats wrong?
A similar thing happened to me when I decided to try a new kernel I've never used before, and it did not agree with my phone. Try a different kernel like lean kernel or Franco kernel and see if it still happens. If so, go back to stock.

Here is what battery life looks like and I'm worried that its not the ROM but a problem with my battery, since people have been reporting exceptional battery life with this ROM.
Some specs.

I try to never dirty flash and usually just restore apps from TitaniumBackup. All three times were full wipes formatting any partition I could other than extSdcard. No old kernel settings were restored and I'm not over or undeclocked but I did under volt by 50 and the phone seems stable but no improvement.
As a matter of fact during the latter of the installs I restored nothing. I've also disconnected my sdCard in hopes that it was a bad card (some hopes) but to no avail.
I am redownloading the rooms even do the md5 sum was the exact and downloading the gapp from a different source.

Try running LiquidSmooth's stock kernel. I'm getting pretty good battery life with that. KT747 may not agree with your phone combined with this rom. I had good results when I ran KT with a TW rom, but not so much with AOSP. Every phone can behave differently.
Good luck.

I ran my phone with the kernel that LiquidSmooth has as stock, and it was extremely buggy for me, maybe it just did not behave well with my phone but it looks like the kernel has a few known issues as is. One bug I had is that audio playback was extremely erratic, and I haven't come across a commenter stating anything similar. I'd really hate migrating from LiquidSmooth, especially with the notion that I just "gave up", and not on just any release but on a stable release.
Update:
Update:
On this new install from a new download and gapps from a different source, I do not seem to be having the audio issue, which seems strange as both prior downloads had an exact md5 sum.
