Thanks for your reply
My Google account was being wiped out in front of my eyes almost every other time i rebooted. After some thread reading and trial and error I finally figured it out. Its been about 18 hours and over 15 reboots (EDIT: Few days now ) either via reboot menu, wanamXposed module and adb, I have not lost my account so far.
This is still being tested, so affected users please test and comment how it worked for you.
There are hundreds of posts out there that tell you the fix is to be on Google play Store version 4.4.21 and many of them have reported that it works. Unfortunately many including me, were on the very same version and yet Google account was being wiped no matter what. Thats when i realized, it is not just being on 4.4.21, but having that version as a system app, instead of having the version installed as an update. The difference is, when you have version 3.x.x installed as a system app, which updates itself to 4.4.21, it does not update the original app, but instead installs updates in the /data partition. So seeing version 4.4.21 in the Playstore app 'About' settings does not mean anything.
Verify if you are on an affected release.
Go to Setting >> more >> Application Manager >> Downloaded. If you see 'Google Play Store' you may be affected.
Now go to the application managers "All" Section (swiping leftward from 'Downloads' section) and navigate to 'Google Play Store'
You will see the version number of your app. Next to it, you will see two buttons, One of them may be "uninstall updates" If you see this option, your version number means nothing. Don't be fooled by it, you have may 4.4.21 installed, but in your /data/app directory.
If the above was true, you have an older version of playstore installed as a system app, and have the latest version installed as an update over the old version in the /data partition.
Instructions
Flash GoogleWipeFix_Flash_CWM.zip from Clockworkmod.
PS: This really only removes your existing Google Play Store, flashes v 4.4.21 and clears data. You may as well flash it, nothing to loose.
Click Show content for Manual Instructions (Not needed if you chose to flash instead).
You do not need this if you flash using my zip. This is for Manual Testing only.
If you are not already on PlayStore version 4.4.21 then download version 4.4.21 and place in in your SDCard as /sdcard/Phonesky.apk
DOWNLOAD
Google Play Store 4.4.21
Instructions for shell users :
Code:
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /system/app/Phonesky.apk /system/app/Phonesky.apk.bkp
mv /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk.bkp
cp /sdcard/Phonesky.apk /system/app/Phonesky.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Phonesky.apk
reboot
Instructions for Root explorer users
Re-mount /system as read-write
Backup /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Backup and Delete /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk (TIP: you may see warnings that PlayStore Stopped, Thats ok!)
Copy /sdcard/Phonesky.apk and overwrite /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Give the new apk appropriate read permissions to all. rw-r--r--
reboot

If it does not work for you, it would be of great help if you could post below details.
What rom are you on?
Please check the following:
Go to application manager >> Google Play Store and tel me if you see the button "Uninstall updates" next to "Force Stop"
If you have "Uninstall updates" you need to click it, and then repeat the whole procedure again.

I am using Tigra v.3 ROM, which has the 4.4.21 version as system app and still I had the Google account wiped yesterday after a reboot from Wanam Xposed.
So maybe your fix solves some problems, but in my case...
Thanks anyway!
My ROM users are already on 4.4.2.1 by default (removed everything related to old versions) and they still have account lost.
The problem is only in XXUEMI6, XXUEMJ2/5 don't have this problem.
Thanks for sharing
tried this on my n7105T
no i no longer get the force close / crash message
just no connection (like i was getting prior to trying a million other fixes)
including factory reset
I haven't been on the forums much lately but can't see anything about this - what is the bug exactly? All your google data being deleted on just the account being removed from the phone? Or something else entirely?

What do you mean by no connection? I am not sure if this will apply to your device since this caters specifically to Note 2 leaked roms.

If you are on one of the affected roms, after you reboot Google account is totally removed. As if it was never added. Its known to happen on Note 2 android 4.3 leaked MI6 rom
I've tested your possible Fix.... Had 3 reboots in total now... so far so good... No G account yet....

I didnt have vending-1.apk in my data folder so didnt do anything with that.
Also when we copy phonesky.apk , do we need to set permission to rw.r.r ???
I actually did it. And now trying.

I am starting this thread so all issues related to SlimKat Rom can be documented in one single place. Please post your Questions & Answers in here instead of in the SlimKat Rom Thread, lets try and keep that thread clean.
SlimKat ROM Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511512
All Credit goes to the developers, Please support them for continued development
I will try my best to keep the thread updated and have questions and solutions posted in the first three posts of this Thread:
How to Install SlimKat ROM
Assuming you have already rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed custom recovery. If not there are multitude guides to do so, search in the forum.
Step 1:
Download the following:
Current SlimKat ROM: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/979-hammerhead
Note SlimKat Rom is in beta currently
Current SlimGapps: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads/dlsearch
Note Slim Gapps are also in Beta, You can choose to download the full Slimgapps or the minimalgapps thats your choice. You can also download the photosphere addon.
Current SuperSu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Step 2:
Place the downloaded file onto your nexus 5 using the provided cable, alternatively you can also download the files directly onto your phone using the browser.
Reboot into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset (required)
Wipe Cache Partition (required)
I also always do the following (optional)
In mounts/ Storage
Format /system (optional)
Format /data (optional)
Format/cache (optional)
These are not necessary but I have made it a habit to do so.
Once you have performed the required resets, select Flash Zip file and flash in the following sequence
Flash SlimKat Rom
Flash SlimGapps
Flash SlimPhotoSphere (optional) Note: Does cause audio lag in recorded video with some kernels also videos are darker after photosphere flash. See Q&A section
Flash Kernel ( optional: only if you want to use a custom kernel)
Flash SuperSu ( I prefer SuperSu, SuperUser does not work properly for Me)
Reboot
Now your good to go and setup your phone.
Step 3: (optional)
~ Note for ART I follow this procedure:
After Flashing, once the phone starts I skip through the setup screen
Go to Settings-> About-> tap on build 7 times to enable developer options
Go to Settings-> Developer Options -> Select Runtime --> Art
Reboot and let it finish what its doing takes 10-15 mins.
Once done setup your phone how you like.

Features And Guide
Once I have time I will break down all the slim settings and what they do
Features Not Included
PIE - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
HALO - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
NOTE: Xposed Framework does not play nice with ART, You will need to stick with Dalvik to use Xposed.
Feature Request
I will update this as users request features but please dont request features that can be added via addons such as xposed. There is no point adding those features to the ROM, those who want them can always install via Xposed

Questions and Answers
Frequently Asked Question
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq
These Are for SlimKat 4.4.2 beta 1.95 + Slim_AIO_gapps_4.4.2 beta1.x
These will be updated/removed as SlimKat updates
DPI/ Screen Issues
[Q] What are the default DPI's
Stock Kitkat = 480
Stock SlimKat = 361
Lowest DPI working for me = 370
[Q] Water in the Google Maps app is distorted, streaked or all over the place when zoomed out
Its a DPI issue, this is how i resolved it:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
once Rebooted do the following :
Settings-> Apps-> Maps-->clear data, also clear Cache--> Force Close
Open Maps and confirm everything is working.
Some users have been able to get the maps to work properly at 361 DPI, but the lowest value at which it will work for me is 370. Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480. Default Stock SlimKat DPI is 361
[Q] Everything is too small on default SlimKat, how can i fix that
two solutions:
go into settings-->display-->font-->change font size to make it bigger
change DPI:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480, stock SlimKat DPI is 361, 400 ~ 420 DPI works best for me
Recovery
[Q] TWRP asking for a password, even though user never setup a password
When TWRP asks for a password, hit cancel.
Then go to Wipe and Factory Reset.
If that doesn't work, then restart your recovery.
If that still doesn't work then try reflashing TWRP again.
Camera
[Q] What is True View in the Camera App
True view is a camera feature to show the whole field of view of the camera.
By default the field of view is stretched and cut on the sides to fit fullscreen.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/323-what-is-true-view
[Q] Why is the Camer app Missing HDR+
HDR+ and Photosphere are closed-source. AKA no way to be built from source and must be distributed as an add-on.
Flash photosphere camera if you want HDR+.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832042&postcount=27
Note: PhotoSphere Addon currently adds a audio lag in recorded videos and recorded Videos are much darker, Read Q&A below about audio lag when photosphere is installed, link for photosphere is in the first post ( Slim gapps/addons)
[Q] Audio Lag in recorded video after Installing Slim PhotoSphere
Flash a different kernel, that will fix the issue
confirmed fixed with trinity.
in Recovery, without wiping:
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Flash PhotoSphere
Flash Kernel of choice
Flash SuperSu
Reboot
NOTE: Videos are much darker when Photosphere addon has been installed
Misc
[Q] How do I access the chamber of secrets on SlimKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48830608&postcount=25
[Q] Where are the QuickRecord recordings stored, are they cleared at boot and are they overwritten
/data/data/com.android.systemui/files/
It's never cleared from a reboot, but yes, rewritten each time you record.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832011&postcount=2577
[Q] Where is the clear all in the recent apps list
Clear all is not there as it is not needed, the list just shows the recently ran apps and provides the means of switching between apps quickly. Android will kill apps when needed there is no need to kill apps
[Q] I have no Mobile Network ( not data but no coverage at all)
This applies to only those who have no mobile network i.e they do not have a signal at all on their device and it does not say no service.
You somehow wiped the radio firmware, That needs to be restored.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
[Q] What is ART and what does it do
If you really need to know what ART is then you should not be using ART.
ART stands for Android Run Time, it is an experimental run time which is being developed by google to replace the current dalvik run time. Once released users would be able to get better performance and better battery life.
Currently, as ART is in experimental stage ( I would say Alpha, not even beta) the benefits of switching to ART are minimal. Not all apps are compatible with ART and most users will not see any performance or battery life improvements.
Thats why google buried it deep into the settings. Use at your own discretion. I suggest staying with Dalvik run time till further progress has been made on ART.

I'm not sure how to get that, I think you have to connect the device to the computer and use something in the SDK to be able to record screen, I could be wrong. Try searching for it. If I find a solution I'll let you know.

Hope there are enough people here to help me out. I've been using Slim ROMs for a couple years on G-Nex and now Nexus 5. On the last couple releases I've been having issues with Google Maps not getting a GPS fix, or when it does get a fix it's off by nearly a mile. GPS Data, Waze, Gas Buddy, etc. all work fine. After spending nearly a day re-flashing the ROM, app, clearing data, etc., I finally tried another ROM (Purity) and discovered that Google Maps gets a fix in less than 10 seconds and is within 20' accuracy. I used the latest Slim Gapps on Slim 1.95 and the CM Gapps on the Purity ROM. Has anyone had similar problems?

I just reflashed slimkat on my phone, took less then 5 seconds for it to get a GPS lock. Check the following:
Settings-> locations -> mode
Make sure high accuracy is selected
Also are you using a custom kernel ?
Flash sequence for ROMs is
Slimkat ROM
Slimgapps
Kernel ( if using custom kernel)
Supersu ( supersu always comes last)
Reboot.

Anyone have any issues with the stock Slim Explorer app. I've never really used it before as I've always been an ES Explorer user but want to switch having the auto toggle TRDS modes. The app loads up but as soon as I scroll the screen the app closes and I get a "Slim Explorer has stopped" message. I've seen it in the past a handful of times I went to change DPI with it before installing ES. I did a complete clean install(ie. manually wiped everything and re-downloaded and re-setup all my apps instead of restoring them with Titanium), sha matches, so I can't think of anything else that could be the issue. Maybe it doesn't agree with Super SU???
Yep, did all that except for the SuperSU bit. I did use SuperSU on the Purity install though but haven't had any problems with the built in Superuser before. I'll nandroid back to the Slim ROM to give it a try. It was with the stock kernel.

I've had issues with super user so always use supersu, but maps has nothing to do with either.
Did u check the settings?
Also sometimes you have to be outside to get a GPS lock,
Also try this:
Settings -> apps-> maps.
Clear data clear cache force close.
Reboot
Go outside and open maps c if that fixes it

I have Super SU installed and working already seeing as I use Faux kernel as well as I've always had issues(even on a SlimBean port on Evo LTE)with Superuser unmounting the system as RW. It's weird. It only happens when I scroll from within the emulated/legacy/0 storage. I can scroll within the device partition and change settings just fine.
Do you use ART??? Only other thing I can think of.
Edit: Added a screenshot to the post as well as a bug report
After updating to Lollipop on my Nexus 5, it restored all of my apps except for about 10. One of them is a widget that I use everyday called Simple Calendar Widget by MYCOLORSCREEN. When trying to download the app, it gives me the message "Unknown error code during application install: -505". It seems to download fine, but the message pops up during the install process. Anybody know about this issue or experiencing the same thing if you try to download this application? I also tried downloading the apk file online but that also fails to install. I can't find any info regarding this issue. Thanks.
I had this issue on certain apps as well. The dev of those apps needed to change something for it to work on Lollipop.

Code 505 is a permissions code. This typically means that the APK file already exists in your /data/app folder. You'll need to locate the APK files in question in the /data/app folder and remove them. You will need root to perform this action.
You came across this problem because you didn't do a wipe of your userdata partition when you jumped from Kitkat to Lollipop. I encountered the same issue because of that reason. I just ended up wiping and starting fresh as my phone hadn't been wiped since I got the device last November.

Are you sure? I flashed the factory image of Lollipop on my phone and it wiped everything. Afterwards, I had to also do a factory reset of my phone from the settings due to a storage issue. Why would that get left behind?
Edit: I checked (phone is rooted) and the app isn't in the /data/app folder

I spent an hour combing through Google group threads trying to get a real answer to this outstanding question. I was perplexed that only two applications of mine refused to install due to this error. The consensus was that the APK file was still there, or some remnants of data related to the application remained on the device that the Play Store service didn't like.
I ended up wiping my device twice:
Once by flashing both the userdata.img and cache.img files, which ended up giving me the storage issue bug on Lollipop. (Showing 16GB instead of 32GB)
Second by performing a factory reset from within the booted OS, which resolved the storage issue.
After that, everything was good to go. Have yet to encounter this error code again.

as long as you have adb working it can be anywhere as long as you know the path

as it happens with terminal emulator i could download the apk seperately, with other apps i'd probably download on my tablet and pull it off that

Wow it looks like GTasks is conflicting. Without GTasks this app is useless. :crying:
Thanks though.

hopefully it'll get sorted...
You'd have thought people testing would have installed enough apps to come across it and if google knew about it in october why not fix it
I had this issue trying to install Rom Toolbox. I uninstalled Terminal Emulator and the issue went away, probably because Terminal Emulator is included in Rom Toolbox.
How I solved it
In bootloader mode I flash from the factory image userdata and cache, then I wipe Dalvik, data and cache in TWRP after the first boot I skip the setup just too full factory data reset, in the second boot, I set up everything normal, but instead of restoring from previous devices I set it up as a new device, then I manually download the app that was giving the error, it installed without a problem.
I know is a little too much for an app, but it works for me.

I'm currently having the issue everyone mentions, except I already have ROM Toolbox Pro and was trying to install Terminal Emulator. Terminal Emulator in ROM Toolbox currently FC's on Stock (rooted) 5.0.1. But I use other features, like the Rebooter that I don't wanna sacrifice for just Terminal Emulator haha. Wish they'd fix this issue permanently

You really should look in the rom toolbox pro app a little better. There is an emulator built in

I know, that's why you can't install jackpal terminal emulator if you have ROM toolbox installed as it uses the same permissions.
Although you should read up yourself because if you did, you'd know the terminal emulator in rom toolbox force closes on lollipop on the nexus 5.
I understand this is a old thread but I fixed it a way that wasn't mentioned in this thread. Just thought I'd share for anyone googling this issue and finding this. What I did was go into the guest account and uninstall the app that was causing the issue such as snapchat. The way I caused it in the first place was installing snapchat on aptoide which installed it on both my account and the guest account and I decided I didn't want snapchat anymore so I uninstalled it but it was still there on the guest account which caused the error 505 whenever I tried to reinstall snapchat.
Hey Guys,
i got a little Problem with "Samsung Apps" on my Galaxy s6 (Stock Rom Android 5.0.2).
I rooted it, and thougt i should delete some of the System Apps. I also removed "Samsung Apps" thinking i won't need it.
After i wanted to download some Camera features i got the error : "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is disabled", but i can't enable it ( yeah, maybe beacause its gone)
So i tried reinstalling it, using the Apk from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/hot-galaxy-s6-apps-t3041330
not functioning "Can't install the App"
also i tried getting the apk from the Stock "app" folder or "priv app" of the system dump, and copying the folders on my S6 device (to the same path)
http://zidroid.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-g920fxxu1aobn-system-dump/
still not able to reinstall. Reboot didn't change anything.
So last but not least, a factory reset didn't work either.
It has cleared everything and set the device to default settings etc, but "samsung Apps" is still not listed anywhere.
The question: does anyone have a clue how to reinstall it ? or do i have to download the Stock Image and flash it ?
Thanks for your time

I think the proper section for this would be the Q&A forum. Anyway, if you copy the app make sure to set the right permissions. In any case, if you flash a stock image over the one you have now, the problem should be solved. If it's not solved, a factory reset after that should fix it.

Ok thanks for the hint with the permissions.
I used der folder /system/priv-app/
and copied the Galaxy_Apps_3xh_zero.apk to my S6 path.
installing still wasn't working after setting the permissions ro rw-r-r- (like the other working apps)
i'm not sure, but i think it's something like an autostart path, so rebooting the phone after these steps, fixed my problem.
thread can be closed or whatever
(orry i'm new , whats happening after solving a problem :|
