Random reboots on Galaxy S5 Duos - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I'm getting random reboots on my Galaxy S5 Duos (SM-G900FD), and it's getting really frustrating. I feel like smashing the phone against a wall!
I'll explain the situation in detail:
- It is a hard reboot, and occurs at any time (gaming, texting, lying in my pocket, etc...)
- ROM is the latest Samsung original (Marshmallow)
- It is rooted, Xposed is installed and also have TWRP
- Tried to re-install ROM without reset to factory settings
- After installing an App that hibernates non essencial services, the rebooting occured less often
- Tried to pull "/proc/last_kmsg" but adb says that it does not exist
- Tried to switch batteries with my wife's Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F)
- My wife's Galaxy S5 is rooted as well, with the same Xposed version and modules, as well as TWRP, but this does not occur on her S5.
I could try a lot of random moves, but I prefer a more sensible approach.
So, if someone can at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate.
Thank you!

Trouble with Galaxy S4 i9500

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500. I got it about 2 years ago. About a year after purchase I rooted the phone to install a backup software, but I did not know that rooting would disable software updates and when I found out that S4 had gotten the Lolipop update but my phone wouldn't show anything for two months, I decided to install the "original" Lolipop from Samsung. I found it on a website which I do not remember anymore.
Well here's where the problem starts - Apparently my phone was from Korea and it was imported to India. As a result of me installing an OS made for India on a Korean phone, the SIM wouldn't work and the OS ran very crappily. I got the SIM unlocked by an operator but the OS just sucks really bad. It gets stuck very often, apps close randomly and they behave as if they have been relaunched every 5-10 mins. Sometimes if I'm playing music the player will stop mid-track and I have to press play again. The menu and homescreen also do the same thing, keep behaving as if they have been relaunched every few minutes or every time I unlock the screen.
Any idea what I can do to fix my phone? I'm ready to go back to a previous version of android if that means a smooth, non-annoying experience.
Check your actual version of the stock rom from sammobile.com. Download the correct stock rom and re flash through Odin
Thanks, but I just ended up installing CyanogenMod and gotta say I'm more than happy with it :3

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Screen Freezing

I have been having big problems with my SM-G925F after rooting it. The phone randomly crashes while I am using it and then reboots, this happens about 5 times a day. I have unrooted it, tried custom roms (right now I am using XtreStoLite Deo Mod 2.4) Still it continues to do this. Sometimes before the phone freezes the sound disappears when I am listening to music, or it just crashes when switching between apps. I am new to this so all help would be really appreciated.
Do you guys have any ideas what could cause the problem? What are the possible solutions? I have already tried uninstalling unnecessary applications and booted it in safe mode. I also did a complete wipe and did a factory reset and went back to stock rom. Still no luck Thank you for helping me out!

Infinite crash loops with Cyanogenmod 12/13 + OpenGApps

Hello,
First, I want to say that I hope this is in the right subforum. Otherwise, please, move this thread.
So I have a big issue with using Cyanogenmod 12 and 13 on two totally different devices; the international version of Samsung's Galaxy S4, and the OnePlus One. Installing either version of Cyanogenmod works perfect, but as soon as OpenGApps is flashed (Tried nano, pico...) and Android is loaded up, it gets stuck in an infinite stream of crash messages, telling me that "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
I have found a fix. BUT this only works on CM13. If you click-spam your way through the first time launcher, then navigate to Settings and find System Restore and perform said operation, then the crashes with magically go away and the phone will run without any problems at all. This is good enough for my OnePlus One.
However: There is no stable build of CM13 for the Galaxy S4 international, in the latest Nightly-build I tried for it, call audio was not working at all.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and how do I go about fixing this, other than the solution I found above?
Help is much appreciated!
I really suspect it being an OpenGApps issue. Though I do not understand why as the same build/phone has worked fine with it before.
Are there any reliable alternatives?

Lenovo Lemon 3 - irritating problems with stock ROM

Hi!
I'm new on XDA, so I'm sorry if the thread is placed in wrong subforum - if it is, I'm asking mod to move it in more proper place.
I bought Lenovo Lemon 3 - it was advertised as Vibe K5 Plus, but apparently the seller wasn't that reliable as I thought. As far as I know, the differences beetwen these models are little or none, but I have pretty big problems with the phone.
First of all it has some preinstalled software, which isn't in Play Store and some of them I can't even find in the net. The apps I would like to get rid off are KingRoot, MaxxAudio and SecurityIT. I successfully managed to disable MiBrowser - with help of KingRoot tool Purify actually. I tried to disable SecurityIT also, but if I do that I can't enter Settings->Apps. When I try the com.android.settings is stopped and it's not working till i enable SecurityIT again.
Second of all is that process com.android.phone is stopping randomly. Sometimes I click "ok" and I it starts working again. But sometimes it keeps crashing until I restart the phone. Since it's a dual sim phone and I'm using only one sim I thought that maybe this is causing a problem, but inserting second card wouldn't work, so currently I have no idea what is causing the problem. I tried cleaning cache and appdata with no effect. If the process is crashing and somebody will call - the phone restarts itself when I try to answer.
Thirdly it's hot. Even if I'm not doing anything and all apps are off and Im charging the phone it sometimes says that it can't be charged because of too high temperature on battery. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it's too hot too touch and I don't know why.
Oh, and one more thing. Something is installing random software. It looks like every time I open Chrome something is opening new tab and redirecting to PlayStore. I am trying to close these tabs while they're loading, but sometimes it loads too fast. Every morning I uninstall some new app, which is apparently installed by night. And those apps aren't added to my Play Store Account. I have disabled unknown sources, but I can see that phone is checking for updates around 2 a.m - so maybe those apps are from there - but I can't see any possibility to disable auto-updates. I have disabled auto updates in Play Store and I have "Lenovo Enhanced Experience" unchecked. Most of apps I installed from Play Store are games I had on the previous phone so I am sure they're not dangerous. Any ideas to prevent the installation of this unwanted software will be appreciated.
Since I used KingRoot to disable MiBrowser I apparently rooted it, but I was reading that this works only with KingRoot installed and with internet connection. And it's sending some data to China, which is not nice. RootChecker says it's rooted.
Lenovo Launcher it's not great either, I downloaded Lollipop Launcher from store and it works fine, but I had to block Lenovo Launcher from autostart, because it was very irritating and was enabling few times.
I am living in Europe so I was thinking is it possible to put on this phone Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Stock ROM? Or is it this "trashy" like the one I have? I really like specs of the phone and I don't wanna return it, but I don't like the software behavior. Can you tell me what I can do to improve this? I don't care about warranty and I would like to have pure, non trashy Lollipop, so if it is possible somehow I would be glad for any help.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Lenovo Lemon 3 K32C36 > Cyanogenmod 14 - 7.1.1: SUCCESS
Hi
Did not know where to post this, I was not allowed to post in developer forums:
For those unlucky enough to have bought a Lenovo Lemon 3, I offer hope. My daugther's 'Lemon' now runs cyanogenmod 14 near flawlessly.
Here's what finally did it.
1st you have to unlock the bootloader. I found this page, google translated it,
http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t717648-420.html
and near the bottom is this link to a 'one-click bootloader unlocker'
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56376
[All this is similar to the Lenovo unbricking described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/how-to/unbrick-vibe-k5-plus-qfil-qpst-method-t3467830
but a lot of that is not what you need now.]
You have to install and run QPST from this on a Windows machine, and the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drivers and the Visual C thing too to set it up.
I fiddled for a while but eventually got QFIL to recognize the Lemon. Keep in mind Win is pickier about USB cables than Linux.
Following instructions carefully, that one click then worked!
I moved back to Linux and adb and did the second part (pasting instructions from the Win .bat file into a root terminal). Sure enough, when I booted into recovery I had TWRP! But it showed no files on the Lemon and said there was no OS there! Nevertheless I was able to boot back into the awful K32C36 system with no problem.
So I went back to adb and did it again, but this time from the info and links on this page - but I did not at that time see the need to root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-lenovo-vibe-k5-t3391100
Beyond all expectation TWRP then booted and all was visible.
I then picked this ROM page because someone had wrote that they had it working on K32C36
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/unofficial-cm14-lenovo-k5-k5-plus-t3478288
to get this
http://moto.shreps.fr/Lenovo Vibe K...cm-14.x/cm-14.1-20161213-UNOFFICIAL-A6020.zip
Then onto SD card with it and pico 7.1.1 gapps
Install with TWRP (after backing up lame old ROM and wiping system, data, cache, as advised).
Long wait during 1st new system boot (I thought it was defeat) -- but comes the little blue man bringing very good Nougat.
Hope someone gets helped here .
