Stuck at boot 'Launching apps' - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Since I tried to update my phone, I'm stuck at boot after updating apps.
Screen displays 'Launching apps' but the phone seams stuck.
I already triedd to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I also wipe several partitions (including cache, dalvik cache, system, data) and then try again to install and boot the ROM but same result.
Finally I wiped all the partitions (cache, dalvik cache, system, data, internal data) and install ROM again but I'm still facing the problem
Then I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/stuck-android-upgrading-starting-apps-t2825113
So I tried to use 'Fix permissions' option without any success.
After that, I also connected to the device with adb and execute fix_permissions.sh script provided in the thread by it doesn't work better.
Do you have any idea how to fix that?
Thanks by advance.

Have you tried sideloading another ROM and flashing to see if the issue still persists? I assume you get this after it optimizes all the Apps?

I forgot that I have no more access neither to adb nor fastboot...
I read that my last chance is LGNPST.
Do you have any recent pointers to a process to recover my phone, please?
Thanks

[Q] Error wiping dalvik cache

So, i am in the process of changing roms on my iconia, i restore factory defaults, wipe the cache, wipe battery status, and then clear the dalvik cache. when I go to wipe the dalvik cache, i get E:unkown volume for path [/sd-ext]. It proceeds to wipe the dalvik cache and i get no errors when reflashing my rom (taboony) or installing villans custom kernel. It flashes everything correctly but when I load my iconia, i get a fc when loading super user. I reinstalled iconia root which temporaroly fixed my fc, but after reboot again i get fc when loading su and no fix. Any idea whats happening and how I can fix it. Sorry about the typos here, using a netbook and have sore wrists.
The Error message you get is no problem because you dont have an ext Partition on you SD card. And if there is no ext Partition the recovery will not find it and gives you this message so dont worry about this.
Because of superuser: Go to Rom Manager and choose "fix permissions" and let it do its thing. Normaly this helps with FCs.
If this does not help. Go to settings - applications - manage applications - search for superuser and delete all Data at superuser app.
I hope it helps.

[Q] AROMA Installer Not Performing wipes

So I tried reflashing the ViperTouch 1.0.0 rom with aroma installer. When I choose the full wipe option, it doesn't work, I end up with the same rom I had before I tried flashing. This is what the log says:
-> Executing Full Wipe
->preparing system for full wipe
->backing up user apps first
->Erasing & Formatting /cache as EXT4
If I manually wipe data, dalvik cache and cache, and then choose to install without wiping, it installs, but I want to know why this happens in the first place.
I also tried flashing SabsaPrime v14.0. But had no luck there either... Whether I manually wipe, or let aroma do the wiping, I get the same result (a failure). I also attached the log for that installation, notice how it says there's an error?

Random names TWRP

Hi, I'm from Nougat 4.5.14 and these are the steps I made:
1. Flash codeworx then reboot to twrp
2. Wipe cache and dalvik
3. Install OS 5.0.2
4. Install magisk
5. Wipe cache dalvik
6. Reboot to system
However after rebooting to system it started bootlooping so I decided to reflash OS and wipe data as recommended. So I power off the phone then hold volume down + power to boot to recovery. However when I boot to recovery, file folders started to become random names like its encrypted. Luckily I backed up my internal storage and data so I'm okay to flash everything but can someone help me how to fix the twrp random file names and the steps for reflashing the OS?
EDIT: I rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, and data. flashed OS 5.0.2, wipe dalvik cache, flashed magisk, wipe dalvik, reboot to system and it does not proceed to circling dots. So what I did is just, wipe dalvik, cache, data, flashed OS, wipe again dalvik cache, boot to system and it proceeds to circling dots however it takes so long that I can consider this as bootloop. I'm very tempted to wipe everything (data, system, internal storage, cache, dalvik) then just flash again the OS but I don't know if it would work so I hope someone could give me some steps how to fix this
Edit 2: This is solved now: What I did is just after trying the flash OS with no magisk, I booted to system. However, i just dont boot at all so I decided to boot to recovery again, but this time the recovery is the stock one. I wipe everything I could including cache, system reset, and data (music pics etc) and it booted to the system in no time but everythings lost.
You have to format data... Not just wipe it. From TWRP go to format data, write yes, and let it format everything. Then transfer over to the phone all the fil a you need (ROM, kernel, no verity zip) and flash them as per the instructions of your rom thread. You should be fine.

Wiping the persistent DATA off my phone memory

HELLP! My head hurts from thinking what to do. I am trying to wipe out my System, Data, Caches and everything successfully get wiped except Data. The Data is not getting wiped and all the apps persists even after multiple ROM installation (including a totally different ROM). What can I do to wipe the Data?
Alright, thanks for replies guys, I fixed it with fastboot erase. (-_-)

Cannot fix encrypted data problem

Hey everybody.
I have a problem on the phone and i have been trying to fix it for about 2 days.But no luck.
I had been using MIUI for about 1 year, then i wanted to flash a custom rom.The recovery is orangefox R11.1.On the recovery i wipe cache, dalvik, data and system and i try to flash Pixel experience 9.Also i tried to flash lineageos 16.But the same problem occurs.Just after the flash i clean dalvik and cache.And just for the first boot it says the data is encrypting.I can not escape from it.When i restart it asks for a pin and as you know there is no pin i added, so i can not put it.Then to decrypt the data i have to wipe data again.Then if i flash theese roms the same problem again.
Also i, just after the flashing, before rebooting the phone, tried to delete some lock files on /data/system folder.But unless i reboot there is not a system folder in data.And if i try to reboot it encrypts the folder again.
Is there any fix for that?I am expecting your ideas or helps.Thank you.
Does the rom boot?
Try formatting (not wiping) the data partition. Obviously you'll lose all the data but I think it's the only way. When you change rom on rn7 you have to format data.

Thank you very much.I fixed the problem and wanted to share it here to help the others who face the same problem.
-First of all i upgraded the latest version of orange fox.
-I formatted data partition completely.Then i wiped Data, Dalvik, Cache, System.
-I flashed Pixel Experience 9 rom.But an important thing is before i flash the rom i enter options > OTA & ROM settings.And ticked "Disable Forced Encryption".
-Then i flashed the rom and on the line it says "disabling forced encryption".And it worked.Now i use the rom without any problem.
