[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jookdakang23:
Day 3: No RR OR SOD

Hey Guys I Am Going To Post A Few Tips And Tricks On How To Avoid SOD's On JellyBean Based Roms For Our Skyrockets. All The Tips Included Have Been Tested 100% By Me. I Have Been Running The New CM10 Nightly With Very Hard Use And Have Not Gotten A Single Lag, RR Or SOD. The Point Of This Thread Is To Help You Guys Achieve The Same Thing By Having A Correct Setup. Ok First Of All RR (Random Reboots) & SOD's (Screen Of Death's) Are Supposedly Caused By 1 Of The Following Factors Or A Combination Of Both:

1. Undevolting Too Low (Around -75 Across The Board)

Undervolting Is A Good Way To Save Battery And Keep Your Device Cooler, But Theoretically Having Your Voltages Set To Low Can Do The Complete Opposite Cause Your Phone To Overheat And Drain The Battery Really Fast! JellyBean Uses More Ram Than ICS & GB. So Heavy Multi-Tasking + Agressive Undervolt = Typically A Warmer Device And A Significant Decrease In Battery Life. Now Where SOD's & RR's Come In Effect You Ask?! It Hasnt Been Pinpointed As Of Being Directly Related To Undervolting But From Personal Experience If I Undervolt Past -50 The Device Would Lock Up On Occasion Of A Heavy Load (Multitasking Or Ram Intensive Apps). Start Your Undervolt Low At -12.5 Steps And Reboot To Make Sure You Can Boot And Continue From There.

2. Kernels (Usually Custom-Made One's

First Off Think Of A Kernel As A Store Of Drivers. Without A Kernel Your Precious Galaxy SII Wouldnt Even Boot. A Kernel Stores Dependent Files Needed By The Android OS To Perform Different Tasks Such As: Reading The Battery Percentage, Controlling Clock Speed, Audio, Video, ETC. A Kernel Can Often Cause A Random Reboot Or SOD If It Is Not Compatible With The Rom You Are Running. For Instance: The New CM10 Nightlies Are Brand New Making Their Debut On The 5th Of October. InstigatorX's Kernel Was Last Updated 8/23 Which Is Almost 2 Months Old. Many Many Changes Have Been Made Since Then In Terms Of Development Of JB On Our Skyrockets. The Best Thing To Do Is Stick With The Stock CM10 Kernel For Now. It Should Lessen Your Chance Of RR's And SOD's.

3. Conflicting Apps (2 Different Apps Of The Same Purpose)

I Personally Have Recently Discovered That Having 2 Overclocking/Undervolting Apps Such As: SetCPU & System Tuner Pro Installed At The Same Time Was A Big Cause Of The SOD's I Were Having. My LogCats Even Proved So. I Will List Apps i Recommend For Root Tasks:

1. UnderVolting + Overclocking *CPU Control*

2. Root Rights *SuperSU*

3. App Restoration *App2Zip* (Because It Doesnt Restore Data!!!!)

4. Gapps *Slim Gapps* (Found In Slim Bean Thread, Very Minimal!!!!)

5. No Live WALLPAPERS!!!! (Big Cause!)

4. Task Killers & Scripts!

First Lets Start With Task Killers. Task Killers Have Been Found To Not Be Needed In Android A Long Time Ago Now Since Android 2.3. Android Manages Apps And Ram Nicely. Android Makes Great Use Of MinFrees And OOM Groupings So No Additional Apps Would Be Needed To Increase Battery Life. Next Is Scripts! Be Careful When Choosing Scripts And Try To Make It A Habit To Install Them One By One So You Will Know Which One Is The Culprit And Quickly Remove It From The Init.d Folder.

My Trusted Scripts!!

- Obviously Any Script That Your Rom Author Has In The OP Of Their Thread

- V6 SuperCharger- Is Kind Of A Hit And Miss In My Opinion, On Some Roms I Have Luck On Other Meeeh! Try For Yourself!

-Geeky Engine- I Have Had Luck With This Script, Its New And I Can Say That It Actually Works.

-Darkside Wipe Scripts - I Use These When Flashing A JB Rom With A Full Wipe.

-Will Update With More!​

5. Device Incompatibilities

Jellybean Isn't Out Officially For Our Devices So SOD's & RR's Are Going To Exist! Point Blank! Thanks To Our Awesome Dev's We Can Steer Clear Away From Them As Long As We Can. Most Users Complain That JB Deteriorates Over Use And Eventually Wear Out. This Was The Case For Me In Early JB Stages But Not Lately.

My Setup

I'm Going To Be As Thorough As Possible! LOL

Rom: Official CM10 Nightly 10/8/12

Kernel: Stock CM10

Min Freq: 192 MHz// Max Freq: 1512 MHz (Raising The Min To 384 Reportedly Helps With SOD's & RR's)
