Maps and android.process.media crashing after update

I have a Xoom 4g and have been installing the Stingray nightlies from teameos for some time and they are generally awesome. Somewhere along the line I developed 2 problems. Initially I began getting a dialog box process.android.media had crashed. After some searching I ran across a suggestion to clear the cache in media storage which does seem to stop it until I install another rom when it recurs.
Recently I have been getting a dialog box that maps has stopped. I can uninstall and reinstall maps and this fixes the problem again until I install a new rom and it recurs
I would appreciate any thoughts on resolving these issues (I still wouldn't go back to honeycomb though)

Clear data on "media storage" in all apps then restart.

Hi, I run the Nightly's as well and have no issues. Let me clarify, I flash the Nightly along with a different version of GAPPS, other than the set supplied by the DEV. I flash the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4) Universal Package 4.0.4 GAPPS from a different source. This version works better for me because does not include Maps, YouTube, etc... as I do not use those applications; however you can download those APPs from the Play Store if you need or want them. There are a couple of cool apps that come with it like News,5 day Weather. Give it a try and see if this fixes you issue. This is the latest version, and a link for the change log for your reference.

As Always if This Was Helpful ... Hit the Thanks Button!

As I mentioned above. The problem is with "media storage" app.
Clear data in app settings or wipe data in titanium backup then Reboot and you should be fine.
If you don't wipe data/factory reset after updating the nightly that media error pops up and screws up your apps. Not just your Gapps.
This is a common problem and that is the fix. This solution is mentioned multiple times in the forums. It's not a new thing and the xoom is not the only device affected by this.
Enjoy.

[Completed] [Q] Impossible to install GAPPS for Slimbean ROM

I have a rooted HTC Desire X.
I installed slimbean from scratch following the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-x/development/rom-slimbean-3-1-unofficial-t2842487
1.- Wipe everything from TWRP, factory reset, internal storage and system.
2.- Install slim-0.1-protou-090814.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed
3.- Reboot
After reboot I connect the smartphone to the wifi and when I try to open Play Store it opens and closes by itself.
I tryed everything! Clearing apps cahe, factory reset from TWRP after installation, updating Play Store and Play services from Aptoide, installing gapps-jb-20130813-signed, installed cm10 instead of slimbean... All with the same result.
The only way I could make Google Play to open was with MIUI ROM. But this ROM is only in english, german and chineese and has a lot of bugs.
I think that the problem is that I can't add my gmail account for some reasson, maybe a play services problem. If I go to settings/accounts and press + button nothing happens.
Please I would appreciate help because now I have an unusefull device.

Your best bet is to ask in the thread you got the ROM from or to post in the Q&A section of your device.
Have you tried turning off wifi to connect to Play? I see this was an issue previously and not sure it was fixed on SlimBean, but is fixed on SlimKat.

Thank you for your interest KennyG123,
Yes, I tryed to open it without connection to the Internet and it does the same.
It's a good advice, I will post this in the slim ROM for HTC Desire X threat since I think this should be a general problem, because I haven't installed nothing else.

I tryed to post this problem in the main slimbean threat but no one is answering there anymore so I keep trying.
I instaled cyanogenmod 10.2 with gapps-jb-20130813
I have the same problem but i found out that the problem is that I can't sign in with my Gmail account.
CM12 has a first set up menú that opens the first time you load android after flashing it. In this menú I am asked to enter my Gmail account but when i press add Nothing happends. So I can only ignore this step to continúe.
If I go to settings/accounts/+add account i go to another menú mail/work account/cyanogenmod/google. If I press Google it goes to the previous screen.
It looks like if gapps doesn't work for this old ROMs anymore.

cm 13 - unfortunately setup wizard has stopped

Device - OnePlus One
Problem 1 ->
Ive tried to flash latest cm13 and gapps zip file
ROM - cm-13.0-20151127-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip
Gapps - open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20151127.zip
I did the following:
1. Copied ROM and gapps to device
2. Installed twrp v2.8.7.0
3. Rebooted to recovery
4. Wiped system,cache,dalvik cache
5. Install -> ROM and gapps
6. Wipe cache/dalvik
7. Reboot device.
When the phone starts, i get "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps.." , and once the optimizing part completes then immediately im getting error - "Unfortunately, Google App has stopped"
If i select "ok", it pops up again.
Im unable to use my device since the error message doesnt go away.
Problem 2 -
I got tired of trying to get cm 13 and decided to revert to cm 12.1
I followed all the above mentioned steps for flashing using cm 12.1 ROM
Now the ROM and gapps are flashed but when the phone starts, it goes through the process - "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps..", once that completes the screen goes blank.
On restarting the device, again i get "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps..", and once again the screen goes blank.
Problem 3 -
This ones not that bad actually.... I followed the above steps and just flashed cm13 ROM and didnt install gapps.
Now the device boots up.
Ive downloaded and installed Play store apk.
Then i installed the latest google play services apk
Now im getting the error "Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped"
How do i proceed now??
I have no idea what to do now.
Plz Plz help.
Thanks in advance

I am going through the exact same problem on the exact same device with the exact same versions of update file and gapps zip file.
After almost trying to search any possible solution to it on google and xda, I gave up and tried to solve it myself by looking into the phone itself. There wasnt much I was able to do because of the Crash Loop saying "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". So to rest the situation for now, I somehow went into Setting > Apps > Show System > Setup Wizard with setting logo and not the Cynogen Logo one! And Force stopped it.
Also, I cant open my home on the phone either. I press the home button and the Setup Wizard starts to crash again!
Its painful to see your beloved phone struggle to work like that! I sometimes hate CynogenMod for their nightlies and wish I could go back to the stable versions of Oxygen or CM 12!

ok so how many gapps packages have you guys downloaded and tried? Ar you tryig each time with the same gapps and rom that is giving you issues

1. Did you make Nandroid Backup of your stabe phone ?
If yes. Flash that and you'll get working phone again.
2. Gapps package you guys are installing are meant for Lollipop or Marshmellow ?

Tried More than 5 Different Gapps

Initially, I thought its just an update. So there wont be any need to install Gapps back again. But then The Play store kept crashing. So I rebooted my phone after cleaning Google Play Services and Play Store.
That didn't help. Then Found somewhere written that the issue might be caused by corrupt Gapps or incompatible Gapps, So tried installing The Gapps downloaded from OpenGapps. There I downloaded all the versions of it from , Stock to nano and pico. None of them helped. The Phone is still crashing saying The Setup Wizard has stopped. Can't open Home Screen Either. Can't open Keyboard either.

Have you tried CM12.1 again ? May be resurrection remix rom ?
Try flashing the CM12.1 rom again .. If you are able to access recovery then use can also use USB-OTG ..
Download ROM, Firmware and Opengapps of Lollipop and try ..

Was getting the same error
Wiped the whole phone off including data reinstalled cm 13 (latest nightly i.e 28112015) and added the opengapps nano package to the flashing zip que in twrp solved the problem

I've installed cm12.1 and gapps 5.1 nano.
Now the device is working properly...earlier when i was trying to flash cm12.1 (as ive described in Problrm 2) , probably i was using a wrong version of gapps/ROM (im unsure which one)
Thanks for your suggestion Abhinav.
Im going to stick with cm12.1 for a while now till cm13 is tested a bit more. Im sure that if we get a solution for cm 13 issue, many users would be benefited.
Once again, thank you for your support, ur doing a fabulous job XDA.

Found a solution!
Looks like the Gapps from Opengapps werent compatible with the 6.0 Marshmallow yet.
I spent a day looking for different gapps and tried them all on my phone.
The only gapps file which worked with CM13.120151128 update for the oneplus one was this one -->
But before installing this, In TWRP you need to Go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe And select > System, Data, Dalvik and Cache to wipe everything from your phone. Then Fresh install CM13.120151128 and Slim Zero gapps you downloaded from the above link!
All Of this, only if you want to really run your phone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow!

After a lot of trying i finally managed to solve this setup wizard error by using the following steps. Without doing any clean wipe.
you have to be very patient and try to do the steps in between the clicks on the error OK button.
Go to Settings from notification drawer. APPS-- Click on 3 dots on the right top... select system apps.
Select setup wizard, one without CM logo.
And instead of blocking notifications from it, provide it complete access in permissions. I believe it needs access to contacts and telephone
This solved the trick for me.. I have no details to how this solves the error. You may give it a try.. Good luck.

From what i had seen, this case occurs when you didn't do a proper flash along with gapps. Make sure you flash the desired rom and with it the correct gapps package at a single stretch. Then Wipe Dalvik Cache and Reboot.
So just do a dirty flash and gapps.
I am not sure why you are not able to access your phone when TWRP is on. For me I had that option, copied the new zip files when in TWRP screen and started flashing from there.

You could try what is described here ... or test with the following:
Disable the Setup Wizard form your PC with
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.setupwizard
It should display: Package com.google.android.setupwizard new state: disabled
Then you can follow the first steps of @maxpayne1989 's description. Of course you won't see the setup wizard because it is disabled. After enabling it again with
Code:
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.setupwizard
(should display Package com.google.android.setupwizard new state: enabled)
you can select it and try setting the permissions.

Motorola Xoom 10.1" Wifi MZ604 Crashing with Gapps

Hi Guys
I have just installed 4.4.4 home made Wingray omni version 20141 130-1704-+0100
system boots up okay but I get, a constant Google Account Manager, and lots of Google error messages etc etc....
Is there any higher stable 5.x.x versions I can install that Gapps works without nagging messages every 10 secs or so ?
Thanks in advance

I also have the same problem with my Motorola Xoom MZ604, that did not happen before. I have installed all possible rooms, but the same message appears to me continuously and I have no way to solve it. Is there anyone who has the solution ?.
Thank you.

same problem here :S tested all the roms
stock 4.2.2 bigpart 4.4.4
everyone starts giving google processes erros :S
i thought it was just my problem could it be some google update ?
since doesnt happen if i dont choose to update the apps

It's the Google Play Services. Download the 10.0.84 version of the APK, install it and it should work fine.
Only problem is that I cannot stop it from updating to latest version. Some say that disableing auto updates in Play Store stops it from updating, for me it doesn't work.

hi guys, i tried to download new gapps from open gapps ARM>Android 4.4>any version and flash again through TWRP ROM and gapps but before that wipe system, cache, dalvik and data.
it also does nor work

Hey guys,
I'm in the same boat. I thought there must have been an issue with an update, I was on CyanogenMod KitKat so, after wiping caches/updates/data I decided to go for a Marshmallow ROM (LineageOS). Same issue, only now it causes the setup wizard to take forever as Google Play Services keeps crashing while checking connectivity. I then jumped to a Lollipop ROM and had the same issue.
So, 3 ROMS, 3 broken Google Play Services. Do you think there will be an update to Gapps which will correct this? Or will I have to find an older version of Gapps to get functionality back? I did try removing the updated before I wiped and started again to no avail but perhaps I missed an app?

I read a few threads where some created files to stop GPS being updated and updating the correct Google play services APK but it still kept crashing.
If anyone finds a way please post up - the xoom was handed to our young bloke and he is missing it heaps.
If not - then time to bin a perfectly good tab and get a new one - as per googles plans

as far as I understand the problem... yes. But I am no dev so I couldn't say for 100% sure.
If you are going where I think you are - going back to the last of the stock rom versions, it might be a good idea.
I am going to try one or two more before doing that myself

this week my son lost his galaxy tab . so i ordered a new charger for my xoom this week and its stock we have not used it in over a year , and we have the same issue almost all apps crash .

Same issue with Xoom Stingray (4G) running stock Jelly Bean. Hadn't used it for over a year after Chrome stopped working in 2015 after some Google security update. Decided to get it out of storage to try to flash KitKat on it to see if that helped and after I updated the stock Jelly Bean, none of the Google apps worked any more - this includes Gmail, Hangouts, Drive, Maps, etc. Note that during the mass update, I kept getting a popup to update Google Play services. Once I updated Play services, that's when the Xoom started acting up. At this point I can get Pandora to run but the system is slower than hell and keeps crashing any of these Google apps when I go to start them. What a bummer, I have a few HD docks which sounded so good for playing my music. Plus I used it as my portable "beater" as I wasn't worried about it getting a little dirty. Drats on Google for killing my precious Xoom. I still marvel at it's capabilities 7 years after it was designed.

Motorola Xoom 10.1" Wifi MZ604 Crashing
Hi I had the very same problems with crashing, after putting on a later Jelly Bean, so I went back to a total stock ROM, as it had
when it left Motorola, then let it update its self back up to 4.1.2 is the latest you get from Google with all Apps working fine
this is what I did, you this link for a guide, http://*ndroidforums.com/threads/return-your-xoom-to-stock.653230/
apologies to Admin, if I have broken any forum rules ?

The problem is in services of google, launcher, Maps 9.45 and play store.
You need a ROM with ROOT.

Titanium Backup and Maps APK.
I flashed EOS ROM and the OPENGAPPS NANO in the EVEREST.
Don't turn on wifi. After install, install titanium backup and go to > Menu > Market > Delete links market.
Menu > Market > Market Doctor.
Select all except:
Services of google play
Play Store
Google services framework
When finish, go to copy/Restore > select launcher3, push and separate from the market.
Install Maps 9.46.
Well done! Xoom runs with all services and ok!:laugh::laugh:

Dear sinver44:
What version of Titanium Backup are you using. My version 6.0.1-389 doesn't seem to have the same settings as you described. Thanks

Hi yoshkapundrick,
My version of titanium is 7.6!

It does not work for me
I cannot delete the three google applications with titanium, because I deselect them and when I go back to the menu they appear as selected again. What can I do?
Thank you.

able to get working
Even without root, if you unupdate hangouts & maps and then undo autoupdate in the google play store. Then everything seems to work fine.

"Device location for apps is turned off" message when I turn off location services

"Device location for apps is turned off" message when I turn off location services
"No location access, device location for all apps is turned off, and you may not be able to locate your device if its lost"
Every time I turn off location services I get this in a pop up, and its annoying and I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent this?
Thanks

Same here, solution? ='(

Hello,
The same for me... Is it a new problem, since it doesn't seem to have a lot of result when I google it ?
I just saw that, but I don't understand, they're talking about a beta program for google play store ?!
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/60loyq/no_location_access/
I never subscribed a beta program on the play store...
And what did you do to have this message ? It appeared without doing anything, or not ?
For me, I flashed my Galaxy S4 with a new ROM (AOSP 6), with open gapps pico from 1st april. I was on stock ROM before (Android 5).

When you tried with old gapps, you just flashed the gapps, or it was with a clean install of the rom ?
I noticed open gapps from 25 march until 02 aprilwere the same, but the 24/03 were differents in size.
I tried just flashing 24 but no difference...
And do you understand this story of beta ?

I don't understand this history.. but when flashed (wipe all except data) don't appear popup but when connect on internet come back definitely.. I believe updated when connected ?

This is upsetting. People who want privacy are being nagged. I'm in the same boat as well. I like to keep location off except when I need it. Is there a xposed or magisk module that could be crafted to make this go away?

I asked for such a solution already as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/location-access-t3584764/page2
I google already for a couple of days. The issue is already reported in a couple android forums. But no solution so far....

Getting it as well on a older V10 running clean debloated 5.1.1 and my other V10 running 6.0.1 debloated fresh install.
My only guess is the new updated Google Play store is doing it (or other automagically updated google app)

1) Settings -> General -> Location -> Google Location History
2) You can turn this totally off, or you can selectively turn it off by device.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
If you lose your phone, Google won't be able to find it for you. But if you typically turn off GPS, this is probably assumed anyway.

It worked for me. After reboot I enabled location history back, and it still works as expected.

Hello,
For me it has been like that for a long time, and it didn't work...
But since a few days, without changing anything, I can't see this popup anymore.
Perhaps a Google Play Services update ? Google realized the popup was a stupid idea... :silly:
