[Q] Freeze then reboot

So here is my problem, from time to time the tablet just freezes, only the notification bar is responsive and as soon as I pull it down, It becomes too late and the only wawy I can use the tablet again is to force reboot by holding the power button.
My GT-N5110 being rooted and the Android version is 4.1.2 stock (^^).
If you know where the problem comes from feel free helping me getting ride of it

I've gotten this occasionally. I went through the device the other night and uninstalled a lot of stuff that was in the "maybe works/maybe not, I never use" category, and I've been getting much less of this behavior since.
After installing the multiwindow app (which I like) I found that the camera app would make my device lock up and require a reboot.
Turning off the multiwindow feature (not uninstalling the app) gave me the ability to use the camera again.
Sorry I can't remember what-all I uninstalled.

It happened to me when i rooted with superuser, i unrooted and then re-rooted using SuperSU (same root app, only chose supersu). Never happened to me since.

thank you all,
i'll try uninstalling and unrooting then rerooting it using superSu.
Just for the update : the manipulations above seem to have solved the issue. Thank you again for your help.

My ZL is rooted with locked bootloader and CWM recovery. I can't install the OTA kitkat update, the phone reboots into recovery and nothing happens.

flash the stock Indian .101 firmware and update to 4.4.2 via OTA.

Usually for installing an CWM recovery, your bootloader should be unlocked first. But if you are sure that you have a locked bootloader ,my suggestion is to do a fresh FTF flashing via flashtool .Hope it helps.

FTF,I want it~~~

it's a disappointment
There are lags all over the place with the latest kitkat release.
1) Home screen lag gone after switching to a static wallpaper.
2) Settings lags like hell
3) RAM consumption increased
4) For some reason i could not cut/copy/paste using ES File Explorer. But it worked using the built in file commander app.
The only good thing i noticed is the overheat control service now runs 100 % of the time thereby not heating the phone as much as it used to on 4.3
hold out on updating for now as xperia blog reports that there is a bug fix coming, build #233. Hopefully that will resolve the issues.

.233 isnt a bug fix update. It's a carrier specific update and has already rolled out to xperia z. And i updated to. 230 yesterday and made a factory reset. Surprisingly no lags anywhere. Settings menu doesnt lag. But scrolling effect is not as smooth as in 4.3. You can edit Settings.apk and fix it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zl/general/kitkat-10-5-0-230-lag-free-settings-menu-t2803366). That copy/paste thing, sony has nothing to do with. It's google. You can root and fix it. And i agree with you about over heating. The phone heats less compared to 4.3. And guys overall the update is fine.

I have updated to kitkat(..230) OTA. It is smooth as butter.No settings menu lag.Although i find battery performance not at par with ...101. But it is not so bad.

Updated to Kitkat using SUS.
Hi Guys I finally decided to give kitkat update a shot.
I Updated mine via SUS.
This is what I feel after updating .
1) If you do a clean wipe and install a "Google services 5 version" there wont be any Google services hogging up battery for sure .
2) I agree with the fact that setting menu lags while scrolling , by changing setting under developer option (using "force GPU rendering") issue was reduced to 90 percent at least .
3) I still need to monitor battery life as of now its going good.
4) There is lag in conversation and keyboard , any suggestion on how to resolve this will be appreciated fellas .

Any way to root this new ver?
Edit: This one worked for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783750

Google services 5.0 and still a occurance of battery drain ?
Hi fellas , battery backup on my ZL was great until today morning i woke up to see that it has dropped by 40% without doing nothing , and the culprit again here is Mr.Google play services.
I am not sure as to why it took almost a week for the issue to surface , but it did .
As of now i have downloaded App quarantine and disabled Google play services and battery backup is again back to normal (in fact pretty good) but, it feels like my phone is crippled with functionality
But I am still Wondering why my friends S4 running same version of KK and same version of Google play services dose not has a problem but mine does.
Whom should we blame here Google ? or Sony ?

Google play services is not at all a problem. The problem is with sony. Google play services never drained my phone's battery.

Anybody??

FC in Facebook apk
Hi! After upgrading to 4.4.2 the Facebook application fails and closes automatically delete data and tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing keeps happening to me, this is the case I want to go back to 4.2.2 for me but working again I left it in a permanent reboot ... no solution yet ...

I have not installed Facebook onto my tablet. I will do so to see if there are any changes I can do to make it work with my kitkat CAGrom. However, most likely you may want to send feedback to facebook, which can be done on their main website for desktops. It may be an issue for all intel devices on kit kat. I am not sure.
As for the SD-card notification. It is part of what samsung put in. So on the stock firmware it will always be present. restl3ss has worked on the fix for pimpdroid and I am doing the same for CAGrom.

I don't think it is the rom that's the problem. I have same problem with Facebook to and I have stock 4.2.2 on P5220. It's the last updates from Facebook that's the problem I think.

Hmmm, I have a p5220 and recently flashed the KitKat stock rom cleaned up and rooted by Restl3ss. Facebook works fine. But Gallery force closes. I use Quickpic so it doesn't bother me.

Now is working fine, without any problem. I don't know exactly what happened, probably it was an update, but now functioning normally. I did not look to see when was the last update.

Trebuche launcher keeps closing itself after phone launches

Hey so I dug up my old Galaxy Nexus and wanted to get it ready for my dad to use. However after booting up when ever I try to do anything (press on an app or the menu) a notification pops up saying " Trebuche launcher has crashed". Rendering me unable to do anything as I can't get into the menu or settings either. I am not sure what to do. I think the phone has some version of Jelly bean on it from Cyenogen mod. It is a while back since I did anything with it.
So before I mess up and brick it I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to go forward with it.

In a crazy coincidence this is exactly the problem I ran into yesterday. I factory reset it in TWRP several times and it always eventually happened again. It may not be related, but it first happened immediately after updating the play store/services and agreeing to the play protect.
This last time I removed the SIM, reset, and reboot it. I immediately opened the play store (without opening the app drawer or trying to click on settings), turned off auto updating, and downloaded Nova Launcher. When you click home it asks which you'd prefer. I was then able to go to settings without any problems.
So far it's been about 45 minutes without crashing and restarting.
LineageOS (the successor of CyanogenMod) has an official build for toro that is currently maintained so after a complete backup I intend to flash it.
Hope this helped

Applications are lagging and crashing after Oreo update

A while ago I was using lineage on my g5 but after some bank app issues, I started using the stock ROM again. After the Oreo update (November I guess?) some apps became unusable, some examples are the YouTube that freezes for more than 10 seconds and crashes shortly after or WhatsApp that when I click on any conversation it freezes for a long time before becoming responsible again. If I try to open any game it freezes on the splash art as well. I tried a factory reset but the problem still happens, so I downgraded to 7.0 and it still persists even though it wasn't happening in this version in the past.
I am out of ideas, any suggestions?

Do running problematic apps (that you have mentioned) while phone's in the safe mode change something? Does the phone feel more responsive than usually? If yes, try the following. Backup all of your important data and wipe your phone one more time (data + cache). Then, set it up as a brand new and start installing (don't restore them) the apps you use slowly (one by one) to determine, which one may cause lag.

Yeah the phone is more responsive. Everything is normal, then I tried opening YouTube (one of the problematic apps that aren't disabled in safe mode) and it is still freezing and after some seconds it is crashing. So the problem is still happening even in safe mode.
I thought it would be a problem with media in general but the photo app and chrome are working normally.

While experiencing the lag and freezing...
Do you have an sdcard inserted? If yes, is it formatted as an external storage or as an adoptable storage (means extends internal memory)?
Which ROM are you running (if stock, write its build number also)? Write all modifications made to your phone too (e.g. unlocked bootloader, TWRP or Magisk installed etc.), please.
One more thing to ask, which version of Moto G5 do you own (2/32 or 3/16) and aren't you running out of system resources (e.g. RAM) constantly? Check your average RAM usage (in Oreo, it's under "Developer options") and the apps which consume the biggest amount of the RAM.
