[Q] Settings app crashing??? - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

So tonight I tried the new Cm13 that got updated, doing a full wipe. All went good after a bit of testing, finding that the camera bug I already knew about was there, but after installing a few of my apps that I had before at the same time I tried installing some unofficial ones from .apks, Google Services Framework started crashing and my launcher, Trebuchet also did, so as the settings when I tried getting into the apps screen to try wiping data and cache for the settings app. So I got stuck there. Luckily I had a backup and succesfully restored to my last ROM with most of my data back. I did try anything I could think of to stop the crashing, except flashing another Gapps package. I did try reflashing the same with no success to fix the crashes. On the thread it recommended the Nano package because that provided you with the option to hold home button to Screen Search...
Thank you for any answers. BTW I also tried wiping those apps data trough Titanium Backup with no succes, again. :crying:

[Q] Device reset?

When i was flashing some app, my nexus stopped at the boot animation during reboot. I tried clearing cache and flashing the kernel again without luck. So i flashed system.img using fastboot. After a reboot all my apps are gone. I can still see my sdcard data from the computer. How to restore my apps with data. Also google apps seems to be missing as well (Only few apps like maps, email,play games/movies etc are present and they are not working as well since google play services not running). I am not able to add an account. Please help
Somebody please help me out.
What did you try to flash that caused this?
I flashed moto g gallery from apps and themes section. I ended up formatting everything (I did back up my sdcard which contains my earlier TiB backup files). What I want to know is that whenever i messed up system files in kitkat or JB, flashing the same system.img restores everything without effecting my apps/apps data. Will it not work in LP ? Have anyone tried this.
The new installation wasn't pretty as well. I was not able to login to my google account (couldn't connect to google servers). After repeated tries I was able to do so. I installed all my previous apps from wondershare toolkit. But after a random reboot/s some(not all) of my apps are missing which I am pretty sure installed and check in app drawer.

GT-I9505 misbehaves after flashing twrp

My S4 is misbehaving since i installed twrp on it. No other modifications were made before that, so it's a bit puzzling since i haven't found other threads about this.
My problem is that after installing twrp many applications have stopped working or have disappeared altogether, including whatsapp, google play services, google play, etc... As a workaround i've tried re-installing opengapps (mini and stock) and clearing cache/data for Google Play and Services, but that didn't work.
My first guess was that twrp somehow messed up the userdata folder, but some applications there work just fine and it wouldn't make a lot of sense for installing twrp to do that, so i'm at a loss. I still haven't tried a factory reset yet and if possible i'd prefer to fix the problem rather than reinstalling, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Twrp was installed following cyanogen mod's wiki instructions ( https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx ) from linux.

Reset phone and Google Play wont download apps

Hi all,
I have a G900I running Nougat. Recently My phone started getting slow, so I reset the phone. Here is where the issues occur, I had restored some apps and it worked for sometime but took a very long time to restore my existing apps that were installed, so I figured lets reset again and start without restoring at all.
Now the biggest issue is to get apps download at all. I can only update the existing apps that were installed. I have tried many solutions from google but no go from disabling the google play store app, clearing cache and for Google Play Services. as well. I keep on getting the Google play error of 905 and 495. I am quite stumped on how to fixed this issue.
Is there any method to fix this issue? I hope I am not resorted to root and install a custom rom to fix this issue. I have attached a screenshot of the stock rom I am running.

Apps crashes and random restarts

Hy everyone
After a lot of searches and flashing I have to open this thread.
No matter which oreo or nougat rom I tried I got constant app crashes and random reboots.
I have tried all oreo roms, nougat Roms and eui roms too.
Sometimes app crashes after one day or instantly after flashing.
I have tried different modems.
Tried without xposed and magisk but still apps start crashes on each rom.
I have clean flashed everytime too. But don't know why this is happening on all roms.
any one can help me out?
Thankyou
Heyyo, have you also tried doing a TWRP format data (by format data I mean format and not wipe) and then not restoring from a Google Cloud backup? There is a small chance that it could be a setting or something from your Google Cloud backup causing the instability.
Bit better
Hey, Thanks a lot for reply and I am sorry that I just read your response right now
First of all I didn't use Google cloud backup
I only restored from Tb.
I have already formatted data as you said and flashed new rom. Didn't even restore data from Tb.
As soon as I installed three to four apps from playstore phone restarted.
After installing all apps and setting up my phone.
Now app crashes are lot less then before but they still crashes like just Google stopped working until I restart phone.
Different app crashes after sometime and I have to restart phone to get them back to Work. Phone also restart sometimes.
Don't know why it's like that...
Is there any way I can check which app causing problems by myself?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

System lags and crashes, makes impossible the use

Hi. I have a Xiaomi MiA1, Lineage 16.0 (I try to update it two or three times per week). It is rooted. I use openGapps.
I have a problem since yesterday: suddenly, my phone got a lot of lag that makes impossible the use. KLWP got closed (it stopped being the default background), Nova Launcher was lagging and restarting several times. Openning any app was impossible, including the settings and system, it freezes and closes, returning to the launcher home screen... I tried to stop, clean data and delete klwp, nova, but i got the same result. The minutes passed and it got worse. Finally, the phone freezed, the clock wasn't working, so the only solution was doing a manual soft reset.
So, yesterday I did a dirty flash, because I didn't have a recent backup. I used SDMaid database feature in the morning so I tought maybe it was bad executed and was the origin of the issue. I tried to rescue some information (to backup some app data) with oandbackups. I cleaned caché and did a Factory reset. It seem to work. and do a clean installation. at first, it seem like it worked. I installed the apps I had by my Google account, and went to sleep. Today, it was ready, I turned it off and charged it, and in the morning: again the crash. So I did a clean installation. Again, it seemed to work. It installed all my apps and... crash again. I fear it could be some launcher issue? any prob with lineage? Any app? How can I know whats happening?
Sorry for my bad english. Any help would be apreciated.

Keeping in mind the kind of apps you mentioned, I'd go with an app+data backup of those apps you installed and uninstall them completely, check if problem is still there.
I suspect you're facing a compatibility or configuration issue, since both apps are related to home screen.
If problem is solved, first read if those apps are actually compatible with ROM and OS version, then you could try to install just one app, without data, and check if things go well (give it a day), same with the rest until you can confirm OS is working well with apps just installed, no changes made in them yet... In other words, were trying to confirm that problem comes from apps and/or their configurations, so you could somehow report those issues to apps developers. You can use Catalog or other apps to record System logs until app crashes.
On the other hand, if problem is still there, even before you started to reinstall apps, then Dirty flashing isn't a good choice in that case, since it preserves System configurations, no mention your device is rooted, were user changes are present... you are opened to different problems, worse if you use an old Magisk version, or installed modules there, or apps that force your OS to do things it doesn't do in it's original state.
So, as you were so dare to go with a dirty flash, you could better go with a clean flash instead.
Erase any system lock protection (fingerprint, pattern, etc), do a ROM Backup from TWRP, flash latest firmware and make a clean install of the latest version of the ROM of your choice, keeping in mind their own flashing procedure.
As with above reply, if a completely clean install doesnt work, consider going back to a previous lineage release. If it still doesnt work, consider a full EDL stock rom reflash using MiFlash -- then flash your custom rom.

I made a clean flash in the morning, with the same results, so there's when I thought it could be an app the main problem. It worked with Nova a few hours.
I just followed your instructions, I installed the last firmware (the jan one) and the last rom of lineage. I didn't installed the apps in my google backup so I can install them and check how is the behaviour. I will install CatLog so I can check the logs too! I really hope installing the firmware was enough. Thank you very much!

I was planning to reflash the custom ROM but I couln't find the latest one that's compatible with MiFlash. I really hope the clean install is enought... thank you

In any case, if you went with a clean flash, try to leave your system free of user installed apps for a few and check how it goes.
