[Q] [SOLVED] Can't clear Instagram cache - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm unable to fully clear my Instagram cache. Uninstalling and reinstalling hasn't helped. Nor have any cache cleaner apps. Instagram force closes a few seconds after launching. I'm pretty sure this cache issue is the reason for the FCs. I've even restored my ROM to a point before Instagram went wonky. Didn't help. No matter what I try, this 23mb remains. Completely stumped.

I "fixed" it by wiping my entire internal storage. Google+ Auto Backup FTW!

System can't find Media Area Apps

Hello. I have a stock 4.5.91 At&t Atrix, unrooted, and with a locked bootloader. When I booted up today, some applications that are in my Media Area had disappeared. In the Manage Apps section, it lists them in com. form. For example, Tank Hero is named com.clapfootgames.tankhero. When I try to move these apps back to the phone or clear their data, the system says they don't exist. Rebooting doesn't help, and I don't want to factory reset, as I have 90+ downloaded apps.
I'd try clearing the dalvik cache and cache partition. Not sure how to without cwm. Faced the same issue couple of times...

Upon rebooting, the apps were restored, but I know this problem will persist. I'll live with it until I root (which I'm very tempted to do). Thank you for the reply!

[Q] android.process.score has stopped

I'm getting the error "Unfortunately, the process android.process.a core has stopped." about every 8-20 seconds. The only thing that stops it is deleting my Google account under settings>accounts.
Earlier, I had OAPK4 and backed up my apps and settings with Titanium. I then installed Smoothrom3.1 and cleared cache partition and Dalvik after flashing. I then restored my apps and settings. Everything was fine for a couple hours and then the problem started out of the blue. Like I said, delete my Google acct and it goes away. Sign back in and it immediately comes back
AFAIK, that process is for home launcher mate, try installing other launcher, nova or apex is recommended BTW, hehehe.

You must not switch between different ROMs without wiping because it may lead to unexpected behaviour, but even restoring ROM internal settings from a different ROM may cause force closes. Wipe everything, log in again and your force closes should no longer appear.

Fixed. I started clearing caches on Google related stuff and it finally stopped when I did a Clear Data on Contacts Storage and that seems to have fixed it. Been good for over an hour now. Fingers are crossed.

[Q] Sudden reboot and lost app data?

I was running cm-10.1-20130222-NIGHTLY and Faux's new 7b6 beta kernel. I had just overclocked to 1.8ghz and had run some benchmarks when I decided to get Geekbench and try that too. It installed fine and I clicked to open the app when the entire system froze and it rebooted. I then got stuck on the boot screen so I though i must have over clocked it to hard so I wiped cache, reflashed cm-10.1-20130222-NIGHTLY and the stable faux v6 kernel.
Once I got in, the wallpaper had reset, when I tried to open any paid app it insisted that "App not installed"( when I could see the package in the /apps-asec folder), i couldn't re install the missing paid apps (error -24) and some free apps had its data wiped. I though it might be permissions so I rebooted to recovery(which was unusually laggy) and fixed permissions, which didn't help.
This is the strangest occurrence I have ever had on my Nexus 4. The system seems to work fine, besides the above problems and a simple wipe and flash should fix those problem. I understand the freeze was probably caused an unstable overclock but why did I loose my data and Android cant find my paid apps? I just fear i might have damaged the flash storage somehow and am mad I lost some semi-important data. Does anyone else know what just happened?
AW: [Q] Sudden reboot and lost app data?
This has also happened to me a minute ago. Using Rootbox 3.7.1 as ROM and Fauxkernel 7b6. A lot of data is suddenly gone, when flashing gapps I can't use my phone at all anymore because the setup keeps crashing and yeah. I tried wiping cache etc but without success. Gonna do a factory reset now..

[Q] Notification Pull Down not working after 4.3 OTA

A friend of mine just updated her Nexus 4 to 4.3 via OTA. Since the update several background apps kept crashing repeatedly, but she uninstalled them before I could get her to check what the exception message was. After removing the apps everything seems to be working except the Notification Pull Down. Notification Icons correctly display in the Status Bar, but you can't actually open the Notifications. Try as you might it just refuses to open. The phone has been rebooted several times to no avail.
I've searched several threads but haven't found anything even remotely similar to this. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure what App affects notifications to even try clearing data on. I've thought about removing her google account cpmpletely and readding it, but I'm helping her over text, so trying to keep the complicated solutions for when we've tried everything else.
Any suggestions or ideas would be very greatly appreciated!
Has she wiped dalvik cache? I think that not wiping dalvik can cause apps to crash.
Try to reflash the ROM and wipe cache & dalvik, and do a factory reset and optionally wipe /system partition.

The phone is completely stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader, running stock 4.3 OTA.
I'm trying to find GUI solution that doesn't involve installing a custom recovery. Thanks for the idea though.
Doing a factory reset seems like the only logical thing to try, in case you don't want to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery. Beware, you will lose your apps and their data.
You can try to reflash the ROM again, but I don't know what's the procedure with the stock software. If you can just apply update from .zip, than you should be able to do that from the stock recovery. I never had any OTA update so I can't help you further unfortunately.

Google camera app not working

After latest Nougat 7.1.2 update Google camera app keep stopping. I've booted phone in safe mode to check out whether some new app is the causing app to crash and didn't find any problem. Does anyone else have similar problem and how to solve it?
Tnx in advance.

In Settings>>Apps>>Camera force stop the app, and then under "storage" clear data. If that doesn't work uninstall the app reboot and then reinstall the app. If that doesn't work boot to recovery and wipe the cache partition if stock recovery, dalvik cache too if you have TWRP.
Tried with restart, with safe mode, wipe the cache. I haven't cleaned dalvik because I haven't rooted the phone. It seems that front camera is not working. After 7.1.2 update I managed to take one selfie with Google app and afterwards app crashed. I presume that app must stayed on front camera which keeps app crashing. Front camera is also not working on Skype and Snapchat, because I realised that switch camera option vanished on both apps. Any other suggestions?
