[Q] CM11 and the disappearing dialer - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hope someone can shed some insight into this issue.
So I've been running the KitKat dialer with CM11 for some time now. Something in yesterdays nightly borked my setup giving rapidfire dialer FCs, tried going back to the previous nightly and the FC's remained. Not sure I've done a full wipe since I bought the N4 and installed CM, so figured this is a sign. Wiped, factory reset in CWM and reinstalled the latest nightly... and there's no dialer installed. TelephonyProvider.apk is in /system/app and TeleService.apk is in /system/priv-app/ as you would expect, but not dialer.apk.
So I moved dialer.apk to /system/priv-app/ and set permissions to rw-r-r and all is well, except when I update via MC updater or CWM, dialer.apk is missing again. Is this normal behavior for system apps? What would the KitKat dialer have done to make the CM updater ignore the install of that particular apk? Any advice as to how to make it stick?

I didn't go through all that, but I did find it strange when I went to call someone and couldn't find the dialer. however if I click a phone number in email or on a website, the dialer pops up???

[Q] Rom Manager - Fix Permissions problem

Has anyone else encountered problems running Fix Permissions from Rom Manager lately?
After Steven's warning here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49990427&postcount=62, I did a clean install and did not replace Browser or Gallery, all went well for a while, but then I began getting Trebuchet FC errors, rebooted to recovery to run Fix Permissions, but it is not avalible in the 6.0.4.7 CWM recovery, so I tried it through Rom Manager - noticed that it now has "toasts" rather than the old console type display, set it aside and let it run. Came back to my homescreen rather than the "reboot now" message that I was expecting. Re-booted and noticed a few user apps were missing, also got a few "android.process.media has stopped" errors as well as Trebuchet FC's. Convinced that I had a bad install, I formatted system, data and cache and flashed the latest nightly - 2/19 - oops, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50470383&postcount=119 - getting stuck on the bootloader convinced me that I had something wrong with the EMMC, so I followed Leapinlar's (thanks again) Partition Repair guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28457126#post28457126 - of course, the same thing happened again because of the bad nightly. Finally re-flashed the 2/15 nightly and got everything working again, ran fix permissions just to make sure. Actually sat and watched about a half dozen "toasts" and then my display went black, with occaisional SU "toasts" popping up until my homescreen came back on after about 10 minutes - not back to Rom Manager, no reboot warning, just sitting at my homescreen. I let it sit for another 10-15 minutes and rebooted, after starting, a few user apps missing, "android.process.media has stopped" errors as well as Trebuchet FC's. I started a Logcat and ran Fix Permissions again, same thing. Logcat is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20993724/lc022014.txt if anyone is interested, I am going to report to ClockworkMod.
After re-formatting system, data and cache, 2/20 nightly installed fine, all has been well for the last few days, but have not run fix permissions.
I believe koush and cm decided that fix permissions is not needed anymore.

[Q] All Apps missing after Reboot - Xposed issue [FIXED]

FIXED ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY XPOSED
Please see bottom of post in red for issue and fix.
I am completely lost to what is happening / causing this.
My last steps re-traced:
Download GMail 5.0
Sent to phone
Used Titanium backup to remove old Gmail
Installed New Gmail
Rebooted Device
When it booted back up, i was present with a Newly wiped / formatted phone
All user apps - all Gapps have disappeared, Its like i have freshly installed a new ROM
Expect it still has my Accounts, Alarms and configurations to Nav Bar etc
(Running PAC Rom, but this is irrelevant as this has happened to me on 4 different roms now,
Stock, CM, AOSP)
Any idea what causes this, Just need a small push in the right direction please.
Issue was caused by Xposed, I installed a Module i have used many times before Xinstaller
It was this that broke the device.
Well not this specificity, But Xposed no longer responds, making your device boot up in a Clean State with no apps installed.
If you attempt to reinstall a App, it wont work, as the App still is installed on your device.
Disable Xposed by flashing the "xposed-disabler-recovery.zip" that is generated in the Sdcard when you first install Xposed.
If not please see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
Something for future reference or if anyone else has a similar issue - Disable xposed boot up and clean up

[Q] Problem with CM12 Play Store Error 505

Hi Community,
maybe somebody can help me with my problem
What happend:
I had a LG G2 (D802) with CM11M12 installed on it. Also Tasker and Taskwatch were installed. I decided to upgrade to the first CM12 official nightly. I installed it over TWRP without a full wipe (only Cache and Dalvik). Something with the Play Store didn't work. I wanted to install an app (I don't know anymore which it was) but it didn't install cause of error 505. I thought it was because I flashed it over CM11.
So this time I made a full wipe, pushed CM12 and GApps (KK) through ADB into my storage and installed it clean. It didn't start. There was an error at the homescreen. Setup Wizard or something like that crashed every second.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0 and tried it again. Same result.
I made a full wipe again. Pushed CM11M12, CM12 and GApps through ADB and installed CM11M12. The phone booted. I installed CM12 and GApps. Now it worked. Everything is just fine, BUT I can't install Tasker and Taskwatch. If I install Tasker and try to install Taskwatch, then I get the 505 error. When I uninstall Tasker I can install Taskwatch, but can't install Tasker anymore. I uninstalled Tasker via ADB. Same result.
Edit 01/10/2015: I did a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik, internal storage) and format data. I installed todays CM12 and LP GApps. This time it booted and worked without problems with setup wizard. Problem with error 505 remains.
Question:
What can I do to install both apps and not only one of them?
Thank you in advance.
Well I'm on the latest CM12 nightly +LP gapps and I get error 504 when installing certain programs like facebook, viber but not all of them give me this error. On some I get it on the first try and then it works. I deleted playstore cache and all the crap I could find over web but nothing helped. Wiped/factory reset still nothing.

Seems like another problem. 505 is related to a permission error. 504 is bad gateway, but I don' know the answer for your problem. Maybe you could try to install another GApps Version. Can you install those apps through Amazon App Store or via an apk file? Because I can't do that, the permession is still present. And I can install both application, but not together.
In fact I don't even know whose fault it is (error 505), could be one of these apps or Cyanogenmod or Google. As far as the stock 5.0 or a Cyanogenmod Snapshot will come out, I will try to install both apps again or has anyone a better solution?
Still the same problem
Thought it would maybe work with the newest Nightly (20150207), but I was wrong. Wiped everything, installed with gapps. Can install Tasker but not Pebble TaskWatch. Or Taskwatch without Tasker (which makes no sense).
Can you solve it? I have the same problem

How to replace system phone

I have a rooted moto g5 plus with stock rom. I have installed a number of dialer and contact apps and set them as default but all incoming calls still use the system phone. What am I missing? Please advise. Thanks.
are you using google dialer? and do you have dialer frameworks and maybe check by going to settings>apps>that gear icon there and changing defaults
Install gapps it'll automatically install pixel like phone framework. Or install rom with 7.1.2 nougat rom.
Can I install gapps over a stock rom? I have tried using many of the custom roms but had issues with the camera and with cell connection. I fastbooted back to stock, rooted the phone and those issues are gone. Not sure why, it is my girlfriend phone and I don't think she cares anyway. She would like a better dialer with bigger icons and that is the reason for this post. Thanks.

Unable to change permission rr 6.0

I have clean flashed resurrection remix 6.0 (8.1.0) with stock Gapps on my OnePlus 2
Everytime i go to the apps menu in settings and the app permission menu it says package installer has stopped
I have tried wiping cache/dalvik
I have tried clean flashing with pico Gapps still it didnt work so back with stock
P.s. i have no problem in installing from play or from an unknown source and have no problem in providing new permission to the apps but i cant change them once selected
Unable to attach images using apps and cant post link before 10 posts
I have exactly the same problem.
Nexus 6p on RR6.0 (Oreo 8.1).
Can install apps. But cannot access permissions.
Getting this error message "package installer keeps stopping".
I have tried to clear package installer cache, even clear its data. But the same problem keeps cropping up.
This post has no solution to it. Just an affirmative to whatever you are facing. I wish somebody could help.
Experts, please tell us what information you need. and how to get it for you. I would be very pleased if I could get to the bottom of this frustrating problem. Thank you!
I just had same issue with my Mi Max running RR 6.0.
It started after changing the theme to dark in settings-display option.
I reflashed and things were ok.
As soon as I change theme to dark it started again.
I reverted back to automatic theme then everything is alright.
So i guess issue is with RR source.
My wife's Pixel with RR 6 just had the same issue. Setting the theme to automatic fixed the issue. Makes me wonder if the dark theme setting during night hours would make the issue appear only at night...
Edit: Posted a bit too soon. Set her clock to 10pm, watched the theme change, attempted to edit permissions... Package Installer stopped.
