Random restarts on 20170608 official build, attached last_kmsg

Hi all, I am still running the 20170608 official build with inbuilt kernel which has been great most of the time but I get some problems with random reboots. I get the feeling that it might be something to do with other apps I have got installed (system or user, I don't know) because when I first installed the ROM I got regular reboots about once per day, then it suddenly settled down and my max uptime reached 11 days. The only thing I did was install updates from the Play store. Now I am back to more frequent reboots again and the only thing I have done is install updates from Play store. Unfortunately I tend to install a bunch of outstanding updates at the same time so I have no idea which one(s) might cause a problem. There have also been some updates to Magisk in there as well.

I have attached the output from /proc/last_kmsg from the last couple of restarts if there is anyone that can make sense of it? I'm afraid its way above my pay grade! The first log kmsg.txt was after a restart at 2am while I was asleep so I have no idea what triggered that. The phone was in airplane mode and I don't knowingly have anything scheduled for 2am. The only thing the phone should have been doing was playing a white noise soundtrack.

The 2nd log kmsg2.txt was from about 6:15am a few days later shortly after I unplugged the phone from the charger, also in airplane mode

Can anyone tell me what is causing the reboots, or is there some other log I need to look at? Thanks very much for any help.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Glenn2:
I had a reboot earlier. I was listening to music and opened up Chrome. The music jammed, it kept playing the same chunk of music (about 1/5s) over and over (kind of "da-da-da-da-da-da") for about ten seconds and then the phone rebooted.

On Lineage (pan's) I had several instances where the phone crashed with the screen off, in my pocket, and I didn't know my phone was knocked out. I've not had that on RR. Reboots are obviously better because the phone instantly recovers. So I don't find this ROM any more stable but I do find the instabilities more tolerable, if that makes sense.... but I do need to figure out a way of improving music playback so that it doesn't stutter when reconnecting to a cell tower (coming out of a train tunnel, for example) as that is seriously annoying for me.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mtr_:
It's the old modem/RIL problem. It was fixed by using old blobs and RIL code. Flash a newer rom that contains [MENTION=7112923]p.a.n[/MENTION] blobs and it should no longer happen.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djthorne:
I second this - had exactly the same problem (music stuttering, then freezing or rebooting). Always seemed to be network related too - moving between towers. Latest RR has none of these problems. Still get the odd random reboot after 4 or 5 days, but I tend to reboot it myself every couple of days anyway which prevents this.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Glenn2:
I am on the latest version of RR though.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
I can only recommend RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official. I haven't had any single reboot since I flashed it!

I'm convinced it's going to eliminate all your issues. For this reason, I decided not to dig into your kmsg's but thanks anyway to have them included. That's the right way to do. And @mtr_ already had a look into them; he's the expert on this.

By my experience, you can dirty flash the above mentioned version over your June ones. But just to play it safe (and it only takes 10 seconds), please flash the Magisk-Uninstaller.zip prior to flashing RR. And I definitely recommend to stick with the RR-inherent kernel, and not to currently go for a custom one (unless you defintely need features like Boeffla sound; however this will void all I said before).

...but if I correctly remember you're using a custom kernel, aren't you?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Glenn2:
I am using Boeffla yes. I was using the same one on LOS without the same issues. And if it is RIL related, the RIL is not in the kernel anyway.

The issue is when listening to music with screen off when constantly switching towers as on a train journey.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djthorne:
Have you tried a different modem? I also switched mobile carrier recently so switched modem as I wasn't getting the speed I was expecting.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] spencetj:
The only part of that sentence I understood was "flash a newer rom"!

I bow to your superior knowledge in this regard, but are you sure? This fits with the crashes I got when I first installed RR which were usually when I was out and about in areas with poor/changing signal. But the last reboots were while at home and in airplane mode so the modem isn't active at that point is it? Also the rom seemed stable for some days until I installed more app updates.

Oddly enough my phone used to stutter (pause for a moment) while playing music when it was on the official Samsung ROM, after the OTA update to to android 4.3. Didn't crash though. Never had that problem since installing RR although I haven't tried playing music while on a train.

I will update when I get time but about to go on holiday and I don't to rush it now in case there are any issues that I won't have time to fix.

Please clarify exactly what is "dirty flash"? I have seen the term used a lot but never seen a definition. I presume you mean without doing a full wipe? The Update instructions in the very first post of this thread just say wipe cache and dalvik but everywhere else it always seems to recommend full wipe even for an update.

Is there a way to retain or restore apps, data, system settings etc when you update the rom version so everything is retained? Its a pain to try and figure out all the things I changed previously and set them again in a new rom. I have Titanium Backup but often RR instructions say not to restore system data? If I only wipe the cache then flash the new rom will that retain all the settings?

Hi I have recently upgraded from ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.3-20160807-i9305 to RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official.

Would like to thank rodman for providing us with such great rom!

Anyway, understand that magiskv13.2 comes together with the new rom. Tried to overcome the problem of apps detecting root and preventing access. Tried the magisk hide function but it doesn't seems to work.

This is the first time i tried magsik. Wondering if i am doing something wrong or is magsik uncompatible with the rom?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mtr_:
was only about the logs included to

This might be a different problem. I remember that on CM13 it used to freeze sometimes after disconnecting charger. Since then I manually reboot after charging. I don't know whether the phone was working correctly after disconnecting charger in later roms. I almost only use the phone for calls,SMS/MMS, GPS and rarely internet, so I may not trigger some bugs too.

I don't really have superior knowledge in this regard, I just spent too much time analyzing this problem :p Almost all my posts are about it. The problem was there since mid March for RR, AICP and it seemed that further development might get stuck because of it.

Since

Update of Battery Consumption of RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official
​

Both i9305 are running without a single reboot since 17 July 2017.

Please find attached BetterBatteryStats-2017-07-25_075636251 log with the i9305 in Airplane Mode (1st screenshot is corresponding):

Since 23 h 20 m 45 s

Level lost [%]: Bat.: -5%(100% to 95%) [0,2%/h]

Awake (Screen Off) (): 4 m 35 s 0,3%

Screen On (): 21 s 0,0%
​

The same i9305 but this time in "normal" mode (BetterBatteryStats-2017-07-26_095157521 log plus 2nd and 3rd screenshot):

Since 15 h 57 m 33 s

Level lost [%]: Bat.: -20%(100% to 80%) [1,3%/h]

Awake (Screen Off) (): 47 m 39 s 5,0%

"mdm_hsic_pm0" (): 13 m 3 s Cnt: (c/wc/ec)1582/6/0 1,4%
​

Finally a non-idle BBS dump of the 2nd i9305 more or less in use (BetterBatteryStats-2017-07-26_100132199 log plus the last three corresponding screenshots):

Since 15 h 3 m 37 s

Level lost [%]: Bat.: -38%(100% to 62%) [2.5%/h]

Awake (Screen Off) (): 52 m 18 s 5.8%

"mdm_hsic_pm0" (): 11 m 6 s Cnt: (c/wc/ec)1262/75/0 1.2%

​

I'm personally extremely happy with these figures and the battery drainage.

Both devices are configured and set-up exactly the same; the second one just carries a bit more user applications. Some services and broadcast receiver are disabled via MyAndroidTools Pro, and both i9305 are GApps free and using microG. Greenify is the one and only "battery saver" application used. On both devices, R2Mail2 and Conversations are neither greenified nor battery-optimised.

Final remark: A few days ago, I tried Force Doze on both phones. However, on both I experienced a much higher battery drainage with Force Doze and in my opinion extreme "mdm_hsic_pm0" kernel wakelocks. Due to this experience, I uninstalled Force Doze and refrain from using it again.

EDIT: Please find here an evaluation of the dumps.

BBS hangs in 20170716 rom

Thanks very much for the clear instructions!

I took the plunge and dirty flashed 20170716 last night after clearing cache + dalvik. All OK so far except for a couple of points

I downloaded the ROM from the sourceforge link in the first post. MD5 was OK but TWRP complained that the zip file failed verification, so I turned off verification and flashed it anyway (moment of panic!)

BetterBatteryStats is struggling now, runs very slowly and stops completely quite often. I rebooted, uninstalled BBS and reinstalled but it didn't make any difference. Any ideas? Not sure if I can get a log out of it because the app hangs when I try to use it.

Anybody else finding that the cLock weather widget doesn't automatically update? Had it set to 60m and then 30m intervals but nothing.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:
Yes i have. Open weather map seems to be the least problematic out of all providers. The roms Omni jaws weather widget works best also weather in statusbar works fine when set to open weather map. A great replacement is today weather it has the same widget as the rom weather clock and has the option of AccuWeather, deep sky , openweather map plus several other weather providers and also gives alerts when rain is approaching. I swear by that app. Also has weather in statusbar.

Good afternoon everyone,

I have dirty flashed the latest version on top of a May build. So far everything is running smooth being the only complaints the excessive heat (old device) and a bug within Live Display. Basically the night mode does not ambar tint the screen at night (or anytime of the day for that matter) and the color profile does not have any effect when I change it. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Thanks

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:

thanks :good:

i'm happy with today weather it has the same clock as the roms cLock clock but has more accurate providers like weather underground,dark sky,weather.com,accuweather,Yr.no. :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] HaroldNL:
This ROM works good, still no reboots, but I keep losing sound, no ring tone and alarm.

No logs, because I am unrooted.

I tried clean install with Magiks and now clean install without Magiks, still no sound till I manually reboot, then it works for a while.

Anyone had/have this issue?

I will try a new clean install later...

Are we talking RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716? You can't switch the SELinux state? I just did that yesterday. Do your settings have SU permissions granted in Magisk v13.3? Or did you change the root manager?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] HaroldNL:
Yes, but forgot to mention that I don't have Magiks installed. That might be the problem in this case.

So, no root for now, just to see how it runs..

You need root to change it.

Maybe it's same problem for you...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Glenn2:
If like me you wanted the cLock (aka LockClock) weather widget working properly and auto updating, you can replace it in system\app with the attached version, which I took from LineageOS where it works.

The one in RR is a bigger file and seems to have built-in providers of Yahoo and OpenWeatherMap but does not launch background services to auto-update itself so is pretty useless.

The LineageOS version does do this, but you have to also install a weather provider from this page:

https://download.lineageos.org/extras

That Yahoo one doesn't require an API key but the OpenWeatherMap and WeatherUnderground ones do. Easy to get from their websites. In my location (London, UK) OpenWeatherMap seems the best one.

I only went this far as I already had the API keys from using LineageOS and I was about to switch back to RR so it was easy for me to get the APK out. As another poster said, Today Weather is a nice alternative from the Play Store and can be made to look very similar.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:
Thank you :good: glad you found a solution. Today weather is quite similar that's why I mentioned it but I know some like the rom default cLock clock :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Deanodirector:
yes, thats the solution. this guide works.

You aren't required to use Odin, modems can also be flashed via TWRP (or are you using a different recovery).

Try pressing menu and see if it's in trebuchet options I know it was there in KitKat. The default launcher for RR is now pixel but I prefer lawn chair launcher off of XDA which is a pixel clone for more customisation and icon pack support.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] franzgorg:
Hi,

unfortunately in trebuchet there is not an option of this type, or I am not able to find it. Pixel has even fewer options and it also cannot be configured to block icons and widgets. I'll try lawn chair. Eventually I'll switch to nova, the only lancher I know for sure that has this option.

Most if not all banking apps (partially) refuse to work when they detect root or a custom ROM, this may very well be the case with your device as well. Depending on the type of detection there can be multiple solutions to this problem. The first thing you could try is to simply unroot the phone. I don't know many other solutions but I'm sure someone else here does.

I'm sorry to say that I don't think it'll ever work. I managed to get it to work once on a kitkat stock rom.. but Google changed the implementation in lollipop I think that needed a secure nfc chip and unfortunately ours doesn't have the right hardware.. so no banking on any lollipop on roms regardless of root/custom.

I have read other (s5/s8 etc) threads where users are doing tap and go on leos (unrooted) so it's possible with the right hardware... unfortunately never for us.
