I thought SOD was when the screen wont turn back on but the phone is still on. I'm having the phone go completely unresponsive just mid task during random apps. And it doesn't happen on any version before the 13th, tried clean flashing on many builds since.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
All of the SODs Ive ever had, the phone doesnt seem frozen. The indicator light still flashes if I have a notification, etc. It just doesnt wake up at all.

I *think*, but havent proven, if you KnockKnock to turn the screen on, and it doesnt come on, if you then try to KnockKnock again too quickly, it causes the SOD/reboot. If you wait a second or two between attempts to knock the screen back on, it seems to be more stable (i.e. screen turns on without rebooting the phone). But I havent proven it yet, because I dont get that many SODs anymore (on Houstonn's PA build for now) and the only logging we have to go by once the phone rebooted is last_kmsg. Around the time of the SOD/reboot Ive always noticed something with HDMI references, presumably the touchscreen (which is maybe why Dalingrin says the SODs/reboots are caused by the implementation of Knock On)

No one build has been SOD free for me, ever. And I see that some people never have an issue, and some people have constant issues. Need to start specifying whats turned on (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc). Most of my SODs (across different ROMs, not the same one each time) seem to start coming after BT is enabled if even not connected. Also had a couple along the way seemingly right after I used GPS for something like nav, just looking up something on Maps, etc.

TBH, I think 4.4 is more stable than 4.3 was. Even regarding the first build of each. I think the devs will get it there, its just gonna take a little time.
[Verizon LG G2] plcdude:
I concur with your SOD analysis. I have seen the same types of occurrences.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
agreed it seems to happen when a notification comes in. i boosted my min cpu up to 400 so we'll see if that helps at all.

only thing that is really bugging me now is call volume is not adjustable. just really freaking LOUD
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
The light still works but I'm pretty sure the main CPU locks, any time I get a sod while a app that is making some kind of sound is on, it stops.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

I think I may have found a way to grab a log as it SODs. I'm a practiced Linux developer, and quickly learning android specific Linux. Which log in a ideal situation should I be pulling?
[Verizon LG G2] kg2128:
yup hopefully they get there. I believe Dalingrin was putting off dealing with the SODs in the 10.2 nightlies so looking forward to cm11 nightlies being stable someday. I've been using cm10.2 stable but I still get plenty of SODs, probably gonna try houstonn's build as well.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
all of them? :)

I suppose you could just open a terminal window on the phone and run "logcat > <path to your logcat file>" to echo the logcat to a file on the sdcard. It could get big though, depending on how long before you get an SOD. A normal reboot would stop the logging too. But if you did happen to get an SOD while that was running, the logcat should have the most info possible about what happened just before the phone froze.

Im also wondering if doing something like that will actually PREVENT an SOD, because if we think its because of the min CPU speed being so low, a constantly running process might prevent the CPU from really really idling that low.
[Verizon LG G2] mwolfe38:
Not sure why but I only had 2 reboots yesterday and haven't seen any at all today and i've been dev'ing apps and using my phone a bunch. I've noticed that there has been some updates to swiftkey yesterday and today, wondering if swiftkey may have been a related factor. 2 reboots a day is no big deal I was just frustrated when every other time I used my phone it was either frozen or turned off or had just rebooted.

[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Not surr
[Verizon LG G2] datsyuk:
And I'm mindblown by the SODs here, I have ran this and gr33nd3vil and literally have not seen one within a week.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Everyone has diff ways how they use there phones an apks... It could be anything...
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
I go days or even a week without having one, and then all of a sudden I'll get 3 within an hour. I wouldn't brag about going awhile without one or the SODGOD will smite you
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
I think Im gonna be able to pull the logs tonight. Pray to the SODGOD that I have success.
[Verizon LG G2] Slys13:
I also am having the same issue..It won't stay on late for anything....I seem to have to hit airplane mode on/off to go back to late !!
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
My biggest issue with trying to get logs is that i could never reliably re-create an SOD.

If you know of some way to make it happen 100% of the time, Ill give it a shot and log mine too.
[Verizon LG G2] kev0153:
Agreed with the call volume. When this gets fixed, I'll be a happy user :)
[Verizon LG G2] abowers:
Per gr33nd3vil

Processor Tab

CPU govenor - interactive

minimum cpu - 300mhz

max - 2265

set on boot - CHECKED

I/O Scheduler Tab

I/O scheduler - noop

set on boot - CHECKED

PROFILE - BALANCED

Memory Management Tab

zRam - 26%

Reboot, and experience the battery save / no SOD / smoothness!

Its been great...no issues whatsoever.

Call volume is still way crazy. Needs to be fixed more than anything.
[Verizon LG G2] steveo17:
going to try these settings and see what the results are.

call volume is a must fix though please!
[Verizon LG G2] abowers:
actually, apparently I didnt set my CPU to interactive, and left it at OnDemand, and that was what solved my issue....Id keep that.

Interactive apparently didnt like my build.

Couple of things: (Since I'm lost in this really long thread)

1. Android Camera Blows... any way to get LG camera?

2. I miss my IR blaster. Any way to get that back?

3. I disable the "double tap" feature, but after I restart my phone, it seemingly re-enables itself.

Ideas? Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] Reginald476:
1. & 2. There sure are ways, check the Themes and Apps forum

3. You will have to create/edit your init.d script to have this happen on every boot.

[Verizon LG G2] egamerhdk:
Thanks very much. Curious about your answer to number 2. Why do I need to flash a .zip? Sorry still pretty newish at this.
[Verizon LG G2] markcyst:
because it's not just the apk you need, the zip simplifies the full install needed
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
Anyone confirm that 12/20 is highly unstable? I had 5 sods and 3 reboots in a single hour, went back to 12/18 and not a single one. Then just to make sure it wasn't bad luck, went back to 12/20, sod city. Not a coincidence.
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
12/20 has been Ok for me. Seems to be the standard amount of sods. I'm dirty since Unofficial.
[Verizon LG G2] kl2oo0:
very unstable on 12/20 for me as well. could be coincidence though
[Verizon LG G2] dobo84:
Any solution to the SOD I get them quite often

[Verizon LG G2] eth3rton:
Where are these settings located? Thanks!

edit : Found them. Had to enable developer options again.
[Verizon LG G2] Buddyfunlove:
Lol...Tex, not nice...but funny.

Still not having sod "issues". One every so often but nothing out of the norm for flashing night lies of any sort. I am traveling though (took my note 3 stock for many reasons) so will be really eager to see what has improved when I get back the 30th! The ROM is running real nicely in my opinion.
[Verizon LG G2] plcdude:
Can anyone confirm that "Wi-Fi AP/Hot-spot" mode works on nightlies after 12/13?

On every nightly I have updated to after 12/13, activating Wi-Fi AP mode generates an error and all Wi-Fi functionality is broken until a reboot.
[Verizon LG G2] TexasRules777:
Sorry. I rarely read the forums anymore, but when I do I shake my head.

Have fun on your trip man!
[Verizon LG G2] dobo84:
Nothing to shake heads about.. Just came from a HTC one trying learn what I can about this device. I'm quite the veteran but this device is incredibly different
[Verizon LG G2] TexasRules777:
That comment wasn't meant for you personally my man and I'm sorry for being a douche. No. There is not a fix for the sod issue. If you get one try to get a logcat to help out the developer. I have yet to have a single one so I can't help.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
The sods are kernel related. They are working on cleaning up legacy coding to get it to work (at least that's the last I heard) I have had a lot of luck with ayysirs kernel and setting the min MHz higher than 300.

Also people say using a 3rd party SMS app 8sms is the most popular and freezing the stock app helps to curve the sod's as well.
[Verizon LG G2] Buddyfunlove:
The 3rd party SMS app concept (to stop sods) doesn't make sense to me, though I have heard that mentioned before. That said, I use 8sms and have few to no sods. Lol

Generally the best luck I have is clearing cache manually in cwm flashing the ROM and gapps every time.
[Verizon LG G2] dobo84:
I can believe the kernel for sure... I'm sure they will get it ironed out
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
If you use the recommended CPU settings I have posted I've had no sods ;)
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
Perhaps if you went into detail about what the settings modify and how it's beneficial more people would be willing to give it a try.
[Verizon LG G2] jordanl17:
I only get, on avg, 1.5 sods per day. I think I am an average user. We need to quantify usage vs sods before we go nuts. I know I just said "average", and that is subjective. Sorry.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
Well, try it or not, I can tell you I'm a power user, and I pound my phone daily, syncing gmail, outlook, phone calls, txt, tapatalk, facebook, hangouts, etc, along with videos & gaming. This is what I use, and I have no issues. I've had maybe 1 SOD in the last 4 days after a build I did that didn't play nice with a app I had installed.
[Verizon LG G2] TheBiles:
12/13 is still the last usable build for me. I tried 12/21_1 just now, and it froze up when exiting an app within the first 5 minutes.

[Verizon LG G2] Wolfeman0101:
This latest build getting more SOD than before. I'm trying gr33nd3vil's settings now.
[Verizon LG G2] jasondowning85:
Might want to try a fresh install. I was getting them more frequently before I clean installed on 12/16. Now it's rare. I can't actually remember when it happened last.
[Verizon LG G2] soapinmouth:
Why do you turn on zram? This device is hardly starving for ram.
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
Let's look at this objectively. SODs increased for most of us on 12/20. What was in the change log that could have caused it?
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
I push it to the max, I also used some of ktoonez settings. Like I said, why question what works, and what makes the phone solid. You don't have to use the settings I posted, it's just my 2 cents.
[Verizon LG G2] psycho_asylum:
I'm having trouble with making/receiving phone calls. When I dial a number, it just says DIALING indefinitely and when you hit End, it takes about 2 minutes to actually end. After a reboot, I'm able to make a call but within 20 minutes, it gets stuck again. I'm going to do a backup and clean flash the newest nightly. I'll update when it's back up and running.

edit: Apparently it actually had something to do with my parents' femtocell. If I connect to it at all while my phone is powered up and leave the house, I cannot make phone calls. I've had it unplugged for the past few days and all seems fine. I'll just plug it back in when I head back to my place this evening.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
http://www.cmxlog.com/11/vs980/

The cache thing looks interesting....could be an issue, but Im not sure.

The other changes *seem* innocuous in regards to possibly causing SODs but again I could be wrong
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
This was on the 12/20 change. It was a change to Dalvik, out of all the things that were changed, I think that has the highest probability.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
The interesting thing is that in many cases, people with lots of SODs have seen them greatly reduced by wiping the dalvik cache, which is exactly what dexopt is for. The other issue is that even before this "fix" in the 12/20 nightly, people were still getting SODs (albeit less frequently)

Starting to wonder if the ART stuff thats added (even if you dont enable it) is causing issues with old-school Dalvik stuff.
[Verizon LG G2] koboltzz:
I didn't read anything about SODs on other devices with CM11. So most likely dalvik or art things could not be the reason.
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
I had to go back to 12/18, I was starting to get a SOD after every text. On 12/18 its smooth as butter and not a single SOD. I don't know what it is, but whatever they did made SODs significantly more common.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
There is a change to Dalvik in the 12/21 nightly....wondering if they resolved the SOD issue with it.
[Verizon LG G2] polaric:
I ran both 12/21 nightlies, no such luck, just as unstable as 12/20.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
Ive been on Houstonn's PA build for a while now, I might go back to CM, will aim for the 12/18 nightly since that seems to be the best so far. I do miss the customization stuff that CM has.
[Verizon LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
What sod? 99% of them r caused by apps
[Verizon LG G2] montebello13:
i had sods, wifi issues, and weird hangs but 12/18 resolved them. running 21 v2 without issue as well. i was using the hacked 4.4.2 core gapps (this resolved some app issues) and just loaded up the new (12/15) PA mini mod one. Running great.
[Verizon LG G2] bL33d:
Uh so every phone has sod if they use these apps? its a rom/phone bug not an app problem.
[Verizon LG G2] mouf32:
I don't think it has anything to do with certain nightlies.... I ran the 18th with no issues until the last few days and it started restarting randomly. Flashed the second nightlie from the 21st and so far no issues. I think it must be app related....
[Verizon LG G2] seang:
i got many SODs, then i quit using xposed, and get far fewer, maybe 1 every other day.
[Verizon LG G2] bL33d:
I don't have any then I'll start having them often. I use only about 30 apps and no tweaks of any kind.
[Verizon LG G2] t3project:
PA settings arent completely integrated into the build yet. flashed the beta 12/22 4.4.2 build last night and noticed how a lot of the the PA stuff wasnt included yet. it was however, rock solid though.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
Already had an SOD on it. Tried like mad to get to a PC before it auto-rebooted so I could logcat it, but didnt make it in time. Someone mentioned upping the voltages slightly will cure them, I havent tried it yet (waiting for ayysirs new kernel with Houstonns changes integrated)

Hey anyone else notice 12/23 ate my Google Experience Launcher.... Its just gone. Anyone know how I can get it back, I much prefer it to CM's (Launcher3) Launcher.

As a side note I'm still running SOD free, completely, still only one since I started using this ROM. I'll also add that I've been using TWRP 2.6.3.4, and a lot of people don't seem to have this version because I don't think it was ever linked in the OP, but further back in the thread, and then he closed the project, so I'll have to replace one of these days, but for now its working great, some of you might want to go search it out somewhere in wootever's TWRP thread. And see if that helps any in the SOD hell. Its really bamboozling me because on my Gnex the 4.3 ROM's were all so buggy and full of SOD's, then I come here, throw on CM11 and I'm smooth as hell, and rock stable. I thought it was a revelation. So I keep assuming everyone can have the same stability, but there's all these SOD's reported. And the answer can't be simply "ever phone is different" theres some common link here somewhere software wise.

I've been running xposed the entire time, and gone back and forth between aysir's kernel and stock I have a bajilion apps, and lots of tweaks, and she's easily one of the most rock solid ROM's i've had on any device. My GF was about to ban me from flashing because even on a Galaxy Nexus my phone was out of commission half the times I needed to use it, but I swear I'm as close to stock stability as I have been in a long time. Somethings going on here... I just wish I knew what it was.

This app only do what I already wrote. This is by design absolutely impossible to provoke SODs.

It's a kernel issue.
