Is there a stable ROM right now that doesn't random reboot??? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I clicked on the Kernel tab, and tried the franco.Kernel, and simply get stuck in bootloop, I look at the tags and it seems like most of the kernels only support the old KitKat..?
In addition, it seems the kernel scenes is a bit haywire now with AOSP/CAF...?
Could someone gimme one or two kernel suggestion that works with rooted OOB 5.0.1? I am just trying to quickly fix my sister's N5 here... she got nothing but nightmare after upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0, constant reboot, crash, battery drain... so i just now wiped the whole thing and flashed a fresh 5.0.1
Any help/suggestion on kernel would be appreciated. <3
Update:
Tried Elemental X, the phone reboots randomly now... And also just googled problem with Nexus 5... it seems like 5.0 and 5.0.1 have TONS of random reboot issues...? Goddamn it Google...
Do any of you have a stable ROM (stock or custom) that doesn't have random reboot issues?

i use franco kernel 70 with stock rooted 5.0.1 with no issues. but i don't see any differences between stock and franco. neither performance nor battery life.

This Nexus 5 is just getting worst... it random reboots now.

Sorry to hear that. Could it possibly be a hardware issue since you say it's happening to you across all software? Corrupted storage media could cause random reboots such as that.
I'm not seeing any myself, though I do reboot the phone about once a week just as a precautionary measure with L's RAM management.

Was having this issue with Stock and Custom ROMS ended up going back to KITKAT and no problems. Hopefully they will have this fixed with 5.1 that will be released soon.

Stock one is allways the best choise. You must be aware, that the stock one is build by a lot of good developers and custom ones are made by individual enthusiasts. There is nothing wrong with that, but the pure logic here speaks by itself.

Used a lot of different roms
ordered my nexus on release day, used quite a few different roms and i've never had a random reboot.

[Q] Diagnosing Random Crashes/Freezes

Hello android gurus/deities (too much?),
Just got my first smartphone, a Droid Charge. Great phone, especially for the price. The screen is freaking fantastic and of course Android is amazing as ever.
However, since first activating it, I seem to get random crashes. I can't replicate the problem, since it doesn't seem connected to anything visual. First time it happened when I decided to check out the camera, took a picture, and tried to view it. Other times have been the first time trying out netflix, first time sending a text. Seems to happen the first time I use some apps.
The crash basically consists of a short 5-10 second freeze followed by a reboot. Any ideas? Is this a hardware issue I need to have addressed or more likely a software issue that I just need to wait for updates to come along and fix it? Or is this a common occurence with Android and I just need to suck it up? lol
Edit: Has also happened 3 or 4 times while browsing the web, including this site...
charges hardware are pretty great for the price the software is a big issue for the charge whitch is why most of us myself included suggest rooting your device whitch literally a dummy could do using odin... i am running a stock based of a leak called infinity rom pretty amazing for a stockish rom for now so reboots are known at least for me but i really think the majority of the problem for this phone is the software gps loss signal going in and out as in data (this is a hit and miss) ..... hope this helped you iron things out...
Out of curiosity, what will rooting my device accomplish with respect to the reboots? Anything?
I rooted the device, then tried infinityROM but ran into so many problems I flashed back to the factory rom X(... Rooted again, but still get reboots, any ideas?
Where can I get a more solid kernel? From reading around it sounds like that "might" solve the reboots :\

Also depends what rom you are running.
If it keeps happening after you root and flash a new kernel (and maybe install a rom) upload a logcat to a filesharing place and hop on IRC to ask for help.

Thanks... once that site's back up I'll download a the kernel from there... The kernel on that page should work my Charge if it's currently the factory rom right?
Edit: Just to check, Imoseyon's kernel (listed here is the only available kernel aside from the factory kernel? I should try flashing this to see if it fixes my problem? Where can I get the factory kernel (just the kernel :\) if things go awry?
Edit2: Also found imnut's PBJT kernel here. I'm unaware of some of the terminologies (I've only messed with a couple Ubuntu/Fedora distros of linux), can this and any other kernel for the Charge work with Gingerbread (2.3.6)?

PBJ is a Froyo kernel. It will only work with Froyo.

[Q] help with ktoonz kernel

i am currently running cleanrom 5.0 and flashed the ktoonz kernal kt747 and needed help with the KTweaker app that was installed with it, im a noob with roms, kernels,etc.., ive been learning a lot and fell confident flashing and all but can anyone help me with the settings in the KTweaker app, im mainly looking for battery performance and this kernel was reccomended but after 1 day of running it my battery performance was horriable, thank you in advance for any help.
I'm on cleanROM 5.0 also. I tried the other kernals but ended up flashing the rom over again and kept the default kernal as I am getting great battery and performance. 14 hours and 19 minutes at 20% battery, with 4 hours of screen on time. If this helps any. I know you were asking about ktoons but thought I would give you this.
thanks i liked the battery performance on cr5 just fine, just was trying to get a little more, and like i said im still a noob can i dirty flash the cr5 or do i have to clear everything like when i first flashed rom?
All I wiped was both the caches and flashed the roms again. All my apps stayed. Everything works like a charm.
I want to flash this to my rooted but stock
I want to flash this to my rooted but stock phone... I have not changed recovery because I want the updates.... Is there a way to do this where I will continue to recieve ota updates.... totally updated at this point to jellybean... I kept having problems with roms and am sick of messing around with them.
Side note how is your reception after the last update .... mine pretty much sucks.
Thank you

No you cant. And for the reception part there is nothing you can do other then flashing a ICS radio with odin but then I think your ota will fail too. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
If you wanna flash a JB leaked radio (besides K3) then you will have to rock a custom recovery

[Q] Factory reset/wipe, new installation, still Rebooting

So...I have had a captivate and SGS3 and have never had so much trouble with a phone. This infuse is frustrating and complicated to work with. I have blue CWM which was acquired by using Entropy's guide and the other numerous helpful tips out there. I had rootbox running which would eventually start FC'ing and acting dumb. I wiped everything the other day and flashed unofficial CM 10.2, it worked perfect then random reboots to stuck at samsung then cyanogen mod then back again. Sometimes it would randomly reboot in CWM, which has never happened to me on other phone. I feel like going back to stock and back again is the only answer, but it seems like a lot of work and I already did that and it was fine.
So, all you guys that understand whats going on behind that scenes, what do you think the issue is?
UPDATE: I found a video that may link this behavior to a hardware issue caused by poor design by Samsung having too many contacts that can get gunked up and causing issues.
Might be a problem with the version of the Gapps you're using. Consider changing and even going back to older versions. I found v 12/12 signed very stable on cm10.1.
If still stuck, consider Odin back to stock in download mode and flash cm9 and cm10.2 again!

Random reboots on custom ROM & Stock

I have rooted last week when the custom ROM for Android L came out, been jumping between a few different threads so unavoidably flashing between them. At the end I started getting reboots after flashing k900's 19/11 version, and decided to flash PA 4.4.4. This did not help the issue, I was still getting reboots. As a result of really tired of custom ROMs, I flash back to stock (100%) CM11S. Been on it for about one day, and I already seen 3 reboots. They seem random from what I can find out.
I was wondering if anyone has similar issues, or knows the cause of this problem?
Possible causes:
Could flashing too many ROMs harm the device?
I also had to flash the recovery multiple times (around 8, because I wanted to get TWRP to work), could this damage the device?
I am aware that back on stock for one day is still pretty early to say it won't fix itself, but since I have had similar issues with past devices after flashing custom ROMs I kind of want to know asap so I can contact OnePlus.
I will keep this thread updated, hopefully it will help someone else even if the issue is not fixed.

Full battery drain in 4 hour without usage?

So, this happened to me for the first time last night...My phone had charged 100% and so I removed the charger..Idk for some reason the battery drained overnight in about 4 and a half hours..when I woke up and went to check some notifications, I also found out some very very serious ghosting, not instant ghosting, the long lasting one...I don't really remember much about last night (was high) but I'll post some screen shots.
Look near the CPU in the top center of the screen..there's a small whitish circle which is a Snap from CNN on snapchat..and its not going away..not visible on white surfaces though.
Oh and BTW I'm on Sultan's ROM on 5.1.1 latest update (was stable until November, now some FCs and random reboots and whatnot, will migrate to Oxygen OS 2.2.0 by PMehra) with AK kernel.

You do realize AK kernel despite using anykernel isn't in line with Sultans latest changes to the ROM & kernel? Either way your camera seemed to have held a wakelock and drained your battery

That's what I thought after seeing the qcamera process in battery stats. Thanks for the confirmation! going to flash Sultan's Latest Marsh...last time I flashed it, the DPI settings were causing reboots and also random freezes plus I like stability so I flashed back to 5.1.1...hope the Feb update has got rid of it.
Plus did you notice the ghosting image? It's gone now but I was really worried!

Yea I am going to flash 6.0.1 now using 2.8.6.0 TWRP. Hope it isn't as buggy now because IMHO Sultan's Roms are the best!
I have the same 4hr battery life on my OPO. upgraded to latest CM12 but wanna go back to old Android Kitkat CM11 if i can.

Think there may have been an issue with his latest builds. I have moved away from both of his roms and went to all stock cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT and had 5 days on a charge, with a 0.6% drain/hr. I also don't use my phone much during the week, wifi on and switched to 3g. Might want to install better battery stats (you can find here on xda) and/or wakelock detector (playstore) and see what actually is killing your battery. Or just revert to an earlier build where these issues weren't present.

version of twrp makes no difference, I've been using 2.8.6.0 for over a year now with no issues at all.

I hear ya, been there, done that. Lost some of my files, but most were already saved on pc. I do a backup of my sdcard once a week, just in case. A month or so ago, I did a clean update to a new build of Sultan's CM13 caf rom and I was caught in a bootloop. I tried everything to solve this and had no luck. I could however flash cm13 nighlies and RR rom no issues, but as soon as I flashed cm13 caf rom, went to bootloop. Finally fastboot flashed official cm11s factory image and started fresh. Since then I have had no problems. There were a lot of other people with this issue, so there was something in his rom that was jacked somewhere. I did go back to Sultan's cm13 rom for a bit, but didn't run as good as his earlier builds, so went to his cm12 rom. After the latest upstreams from CM, phone performance started to go down hill. So, I just said the hell with it and went to stock cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT and everything is stable and running like it should. May flash a dif kernel in a day or so, but right now, everything is running fine. Like I said, I got 5 days on a charge with minimal usage as I don't use phone during the week. I don't have time to use phone when working and to damn tired after work. Think I had around 2hr SOT.
