I went from bone stock to the most recent PAC-man nightly (22.0.1) and its fine with a couple of exceptions. When the phone tries to re-download my apps each one gives me an error message. That's not a big deal since I can still manually re-download them. But the issue that does concern me is that every time I try to use voice-to-text, I get "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped." Maybe not the worst thing in the world but it's getting in the way of my normal usage. I've tried wiping and re-flashing and I've flashed the latest modem but no luck so far. I tried the CM10.1 M2 snapshot too but I get the same issue. What am I missing?

Apparently, I didn't search hard enough for an answer before. Turns out I just needed to update Google Search manually. Help on particular apps not downloading is still welcome though!

Posted this in the CM10 dev thread, but decided I may get some better help by posting here, and here's my OP from the thread:
so yesterday my phone randomly shut off and it seemed to completely reset my phone. It booted up fine with two or three apps missing and all of my settings lost. I didn't think much of it until today when I tried to fix it. I did a fully wipe because some apps had disappeared and wouldn't download from the play store and wouldn't restore from TiBu. I went ahead and did the full wipe, flashed latest gapps and my device started up. I began trying to restore my apps and what not, but at I was navigating the phone my app switch soft key and home key would not function. They vibrate when pressed but don't do anything; only the back key works. I went to settings and remapped the soft keys to see if it was just a glitch and nothing changed. Still no function, only vibration. I then rebooted to recovery and did yet another full wipe and this time tried to install aokp just to see if it was a bug with cm (yes I know aokp i built from cm but I had just downloaded the latest nightly to my phone and deleted the old one so this was a test of the new nightly). Still no cheese. I was then thinking to myself, screw it and at least try to restore some apps, but after configuring my google account and opening he play store i get a constant no connection, retry button. Most of the stock apps will not even open. I flashed a TiBu.zip to restore the app and great, that worked but restoring from in TiBu doesn't work now. I tried reflashing cm and essentially repeated the above steps without any luck. Any ideas? I can't test my data/phone connection other than the fact that after setting up my google account, my email synced and I was able to make a call because the browser won't even open. MY [email protected]$s didn't do a nandroid either
Help a desperate guy in need, please!!
PS redownloading cm and gapps right now on my computer in case of a corrupted download, but to have the issue on cm and aokp is suspicious. I'll have to wait for an hour or two because my internet speed is that slow...

Now I redownloaded CM10 fresh from the get.cm page and even did a md5 check and everything matched up, yet still no luck. another strange thing I've noticed is that my power menu, when I verified in the setting that all options for my power menu were selected, the only options that show up are power off, reboot and screenshot. I checked to be sure app permissions were correct and even fixed permissions from recovery. All apps that do open force close upon any activity, for example upon receiving an email in gmail, the gmail app force closes. I don't know if providing a logcat would be beneficial to anyone because I don't know how to read them.
I am currently waiting on a sense rom to finish downloading to verify that it isn't just aosp based roms, but my internet connection is terrible so the 600+mb file still has 2+hrs left. I am also downloading an ruu if nothing else works, but again with a 500+mb file it will take 2+hrs
Any help is much appreciated and I can provide more info if needed.
SOLVED
Sounds like it might be a kernel issue. Try flashing a different one.
If nothing else works, relock and RUU.

Even if it's the stock cm kernel? i never had issues with it before, but I'll flash one now because luckily I have a couple on my phone already
Edit: flashed a different kernel and nothing changed, but thanks for the suggestion
Hi everyone,
I'm aware this issue has been discussed in other threads but the problem is still unresolved and i didn't find anyone with this issue on a Nexus 5.
I'm running on CM11 20140606-NIGHTLY
So this error prompts twice everytime i boot my phone and when i try to launch Google Maps. I tried deleting all the Maps data in Settings/Application, tried to uninstall/reinstall, i tried installing Maps 8.2 and 8.0 as the error occured with 8.1, still get the error pop up.
I don't encounter this issue on the stock ROM. Should i try flashing a new SNAPSHOT version of cyanogen or do you have any idea how i can fix this issue ?
crickets

This is the second time this has happened to me, and this last time I was super vigilant about making periodic backups. But even restoring a nandroid of when maps worked doesn't solve the problem. I hate google over this.
Try to find the gapps one by one (not the whole package). Download the Maps one and flash it
hi, something is wrong with my Nexus 5 and i dont know how to fix it. So a few days ago, I was looking at how much little storage i had left so i went into my apps and i saw that ES file explorer had 1.02Gb on data. So I cleared it, and as soon as I did a lot of apps started crashing. I tried rebooting, and as soon as it booted "Unfortunately, google search has stopped" or something like that. I could barely use my phone at all, i was running HRT Rom 4.4.4 and i tried doing a factory reset and flashing the ROM again, but it still didnt work. Many apps still crashed. So I did another factory reset and i flashed a different ROM, (dirty unicorns) and i flashed PA Gapps and not as many apps crashed, but google search is a big problem. Right now I havent messed around anymore with it. Im on dirty unicorns Rom and everytime i reboot my phone google search crashes continuously for a while, and then it stops. i can use my phone for pretty much what i need it, but google search crashes every time i reboot but after a bit it stops. One another annoying thing is that i cant install xposed now. when i do, the android.system crashes to the point where i have to do a factory reset. I also cant share pictures from my gallery because it crashes. there is one app that every time i try to open it makes my phone reboot (photo punch). This is quite annoying and if someone knows a fix for this i would really appreciate some help. I also already tried uninstalling google search with titanium backup and installing it back from the play store but it doesnt work. And if i try to use another launcher, it crashes every time i hit the home button. no matter what launcher it is. if someone can help me please do so.

well, you factory resetting, or wiping data isnt fixing your issue, so i highly recommend flashing the nexus 5 factory img and starting over.
Why would you delete that? Lol

This is usually the cure all. Spend hours/days chasing an issue, or minutes reflashing. ?
Two days ago I decided to switch from cm12 nightlies to cm12s.
After performing a clean flash I was very pleased to see that I even had the option to restore the apps I had installed before. However, when trying to install those apps I encountered a problem. Because the apps would not download. They would say "Downloading"but it woult get stuck forever.
I had never experienced such problem before but so I thought it was the cm12s flash. So, I flashed back to the latest cm12 nightly I still had on my OPO with the hope that the problem would have vanished. Unfortunately it didn't.
MY PROBLEM:
When I try to install apps from the play store they get stuck in an endless loop of "downloading".
What I tried so far:
flashing back to a normal cm12 nightly
flashing cm11s and after that upgrading to cm12s (in cm11s the problem also persists, same for SOKP-rom to see if it would also persist in a different rom)
rebooting with and without superSU after flashing OS.
entirely wiping my phone (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) and flashing cm12/s
after the step above^, deleting the data and/or cache from "Google Play Services", "Google play Store", "Google Play Framework" (and if possible deleting updates so it goes back to factory app)
changing location settings
deleting google account and re adding it.
clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache multiple times
using the 1-Click installer from their forum
Tried to find the android_secure folder but could not find it. (even with hidden files disabled in windows)
Perhaps even more but I can't quite remember much more...
I experienced after flashing a new os multiple times that the problem is not really the play store and/or the apps in it. But I believe the problem is more with the "Google Play Services" because most of the apps I can update perfectly fine but the "Google Play Services" continuously refuse to update and get stuck at "downloading". Unfortunately that app is needed to be able to use e.g "Gmail".
Hopefully there are more people on this forum who have experienced this problem before and know how to fix it.
Got the same crap... It's been 2 days now with the Store stuck on downloading.
I have all the latest updates, Store, Services etc.
Also tried to disable the security section like Enterprise.
Nothing works.... This is driving me mad!!!
Anyone got a fix?

Somehow it fixed itself......
What cought my eye was that if it is not working, try downloading the app via 3g or at your friends house... For some reason it would sometimes not download via wifi but it would via 3g.
I hope this works for you aswel

I didn't get it working again, so I removed all data and reinstalled the rooted firmware for my device and just did a backup with the mybackup pro.
Somehow there was something with the system or the data, but it works now.
I've been running Cyanogenmod 12.1 for a while now, updating to the new nightly versions as they come out. Recently I discovered that Cyanogenmod 13 is now rolling out, but I held off on updating for a bit.
The other night, I decided to give it a go, and it ended up causing my phone to get stuck trying to boot. So, I flash back to the last 12.1 nightly I had been using, installed the latest version of GApps for CM12.1 and went back to using my phone as normal. However, I quickly noticed a problem, but I'm not sure of the root cause...
Nearly all of my apps fail to work properly... They all keep force closing, and I can't update them or anything because every time I try to access the Google Play Store, an error pops saying that Google Play Services has stopped. Now, if you look at the Google Play Services page on the Google Play Store, you'll see a load of negative reviews from people all reporting the same problem. However, it just very suddenly started happening to me, so I'm not sure if I messed something up when I was going back to CM12.1 after CM13 failed to work for me.
Any ideas? I just did a clean install of the latest stable release of CM12.1 and the latest CM12.1 GApps, but it's still not working. I even updated to the newest version of TWRP, thinking that might help. At this point, my phone is useless... My texting app closes. My browser closes. My calendar, contacts, etc. don't work since they're linked to my Google account. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter don't work. NOTHING WORKS!
I'm considering flashing back to stock, but I really don't want to do that. I've finally gotten Nova Launcher configured how I want it (in terms of my home screens), and I don't want to have to redo all that tweaking. Especially if flashing back to stock doesn't fix the damn problem! I just finished making a backup in TWRP and copying it to my computer for safekeeping in the case that I do try to flash back to stock. That way, if it doesn't help, I can go back to where I'm at now at least.
So; any ideas? I don't know if it's Google, or something I did.
The first and easiest thing u could try is reinstalling those apps! Check http://www.apkmirror.com/ for that!

Which apps; the ones that keep crashing? I don't see how that's going to help...
Like I said, I can't do anything that's associated with Google at the moment. Initially I thought removing my Google account would help, as that's what an Internet search suggested would help. Now, since Google Play Services keeps crashing, I can't even add my Google account back onto my phone.

Yes u could at least give it a try! Uninstall the apps that keep crashing and reinstall them via their apks!
I just tried to flash back to stock, and it wouldn't work; the GPT.bin kept failing to flash. So, I had to go back to CM12.1 and I'm right back where I started; with Google Play Services not functioning.
This may sound stupid... but have you tried clearing the caches? /data/dalvik and /cache?
I'd suggest making sure you have mfastboot, extracting the stock 5.1 untouched files here and then running the script here. Make sure those lines are adjusted to reflect where you've extracted the stock files to. Ie. mfastboot flash partition C:/Android-SDK/Platform-tools/gpt.bin
What's the failure that's stopping it from flashing? If you can get past that I'd boot the stock firmware once, flash TWRP, clear /system and /data then flash the latest nightly and GApps then clear your caches before booting.
Here's an update.
After flashing back to CM12.1 I discovered that I was still having the same issue with Google Play Services, but my network also wasn't working. This was my own fault though; I forgot that since I tried restoring my phone to stock, I needed to apply the Network Fix that is floating around for the XT1033. Although, my phone is technically an XT1032; it just doesn't have a functional network unless it's using an XT1033 radio...
So, when I got home from work I applied that Network Fix, which got me my network back. However, my Google Play Services still refuses to work.
I've just tried to give another go at flashing back to stock Lollipop firmware, but it's still not working. Just like before, it keeps failing to flash the GPT.bin file, throwing me an error; see below.
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
I've never had this happen before. This time around, I even went into TWRP before starting the flash and used Advanced Wipe to clear the Dalviik Cache, Data, Cache and System, yet it still won't flash properly. Cyanogenmod flashes just fine, but I want to see if using stock firmware will fix my issues with Google Play and its services.
I have no idea what to do.
Well, my phone is officially KIA. I followed this guide to get it back to stock (none of the other guides would work), and once I went to reboot as part of Step 7, the phone shut off and won't come back on. I've tried plugging it in, holding the volume down and power button for as long as three minutes, holding the volume up and power buttons for just as long... it won't do anything. It's hard-bricked.
