I only did the factory reset.
it remained Android 14 after the factory reset which i found a bit odd.
Do you want me to install a previous version of Android? or just reinstalling Android 14?
Re-installing the latest official image twice in a row is my current recommendation. I donât think we need to go back-level at this point, especially since this seems to be an isolated issue on your device. It feels like something didnât go well in a flash or update on-device.

Factory reset is just wiping your data and starting over with the existing version of the OS thatâs currently installed. It wonât reset any corrupted parts of the system, just gets you back to where it was before you ran the initial setup on that specific OS version.
If anything was corrupted in the actual flash, then Factory Reset wonât fix it. It needs a new flash, preferably after verifying the hash or doing a new download if you canât validate the file hash against known good.
Currently going through an issue with supporting MS Windows 11 thatâs similar, where you need to actually download the installation files and re-run the setup (basically like an Android reflash) to fix some corrupted files in the system store. Doing a Windows reset just leaves it broken, because its immutable files arenât as pristine as they should be. Probably an AV caused corruption, but⌠not really sure, just know the workaround at this point.

Downloaded the installation file from this thread and installed it twice in a row.
So far it looks good, no restart that i know of.
It still shows the two different android systems in the ram usage overview but i donât really care about that.
If you donât hear anything again from me, consider it solved.
thank you so much

well, guess that was too early.
reboots are back, frequency went down to like 2 a day and the impact it has on the usage has improved a lot. Its lagging way less after the reboots.
