I have tried many of the 4.4.2 roms.

I seem to end up getting bsod all the time after a day or so.

Only solution is to hold power button for 10 secs for reboot.

I have notced that when the phone starts up again, there is usually a new app that gets updated. I suspect the problem may be something to do with the play store and auto updates.

Any thoughts or solutions.

Running latest Pacman 28/4 it's smooth and fast.

Have you tried using a custom kernel? I'm running Beanstalk 4.4.249 with Touched 4.0 now with no SOD's at all.

I have tried all mentioned here and in the thread for cm11.
No luck
It either stops when using pull down.
Or
Once it restarts there is an updated app downloading

That's weird. I've never even had this "SOD" on this device.

Unfortunately I was wrong. Woke this morning to an unresponsive touch display (stock kernel), flashed Torched kernel and had a random reboot which resulted in some kind of data corruption (had to sign into Hangouts again, Tapatalk had lost its data too). On the next build now in the hope of more stability.

I've been having the same issues too. Was using Paranoid Android with and without Torched kernel, and now KarbonKat, yet I continue to get daily black screen crashes to the lockscreen, and sometimes BSOD.

I wanted to chime in again about my random reboot/black screen crash issue. I was previously on the 3.18 ATT RUU, and decided to upgrade to the 5.18 ATT RUU. After doing so and reflashing Karbon + Gapps + Torched, everything is running fantastically with no reboots/crashes thus far. Got 3hr+ screen time on Torched noOC/noUV.

    I recommended that one specially because I'm pretty sure it's the last build before the current bugs came in.
