Apps not working properly - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Some apps are not working properly for me, such as snapchat crashing unexpectedly whenever I try to login. Other messaging apps seem to be acting weird as well. Text messaging works fine. Wifi and 4g work fine as well. I'm using beanstalk 4.4 right now
I have already tried:
-Clearing snapchat data/cache, force stopping it, reinstalling it
-restoring my rom to a backup that I know was working
-Doing a full factory reset and data format and reinstalling my rom
-Installing other roms
I can't figure out what's going on here. The app keeps crashing unexpectedly whenever I try to log in.

Anyone?

[Q] need suggestions on fixing FC's

for some reason the last 3 apps i've installed all FC on me. at least 2 were from the market. prior to this i've installed a ton of apps from the market and TB.
open maps, movies, yelp.
i managed to install yelp after i uninstalled movies. not sure why that mattered. i actually got the FC message but then it went away. movies still didn't install correctly. i've completely removed open maps.
i've heard fixing permissions in cwr can work but i've screwed up my phone on a prior rom doing that so i'm really weary of using it. also, why would i need to fix permissions if it's a new install?
Update: fixing permissions did nothing. Does clearing dalvik do anything?

Clear cache and dalvik and try again. If you still have problems, then reflash your ROM on top of your existing ROM without wiping anything. If you still have problems after doing this, then backup your apps/app data with Titanium and then do a full wipe (system, data, cache; everything). Then reinstall your ROM, then install Titanium and restore your apps (do not restore system settings; only restore apps and app data).
Sorry didn't finish reading it but do what Henry said

Nope. I just flashed a different ROM which didn't have these issues.

Did you restore system data? If your coming from another phone etc you can only restore missing Apps with data and nothing else. It should work fine I just moved from an htc inspire and have had no problem using my restored Apps

[Q] android market downloading problem

I have a problem with downloading apps from the android market. everytime I try to download one it gets stuck on "Downloading"
Now before u jump at me saying that it is a common problem and that I should search it up, just know that I did search not just here but all over google and did find some sulotions but nothing seemed to work.
some of the sulotions I tried:
clearing data and cache for download manager, market, google apps etc..
uninstalling a bunch of apps and wiping dalvik cache
factory reset, which worked but after a couple of days the problem came back.
I'm runnig MIUI 2.2.3 (android 2.3.7) on my htc desire hd
Bounce
Please can someone help?
You did force close the market and reopen it right?
Also, try a different google account

I don't believe that's the problem because I just found out that I can't download files through the miui browser as well, but I can download with firefox for android. Based on that I believe that it has something to do with the download manager maybe, but as I mentioned before I already tried clearing its data.. any thoughts?
I have this problem on my CM9 Photon....
this is happening on my phone. it's stuck on the notification thing even tho it's been installed.
If you have the dalvik to cache the cache apps won't download
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Perhaps you have some internet settings changed through apps e.g. droidwall, lbe privacy guard, tethering apps? When I have problems with market downloads, I have to reboot phone then clear data/cache for download manager and market.
Try using mobile data instead of wifi, or vice versa.

[Q] Plague Inc has no properties or permissions, force closes

I upgraded to 4.2 liquidsmooth rom and everything works fine except for Plague Inc, which is like the only game I play.. I've tried several uninstall-reboot-reinstall and every time the .apk has blank properties and no permissions, can't set any either. I downloaded an old version of the game and fortunately that .apk shows properties and permissions but it still FC's upon launch
this is pissing me off and I have no clue what to do, anyone have any suggestions?
how did you install it originally? Are you moving it to SD card? I would uninstall wipe dalvik and reboot. then install from market. Not titanium
do a reboot before you restore data only from titanium.
Love that game By the way

I've been downloading it from the market originally.. wiping dalvik made the properties/permissions show up but the app still stops upon launch
I haven't restored any data at all
I've googled everything I can think of and read some stuff on here and other sites about the game not working well with 4.2.. who knows

It sounds more like a ROM problem rather than a 4.2.x problem. Is this the only game that is FCing? You've said you have been installing it from the market. Have you tried restoring it from titanium or possibly extracting the app or app and data from a nandroid backup?

Just FYI...my setup is latest bamf pure aosp with ktoonz kernel and plague inc works fine for me. I was having trouble with liquid, but this one is running nice.

Google Play Store "No Connection"

So I have a rooted GS3 running stock 4.1.2 and I flashed one of those inverted Google play store apps using twrp. Then when I rebooted my device for another reason and went into the play store, it said no connection even though my WiFi and 4g are both fine. I uninstalled all updates to the app, but then the play store would crash even when running in the background. So I found the latest version of the play store I could online, which was 4.0.2.5 which isn't the most recent. But now I still have the same no connection problem. Any solutions? I've also tried clearing data and cache from the app

This happened to me to me once, I fixed it by restoring a backup. I couldn't really figure out what was causing it. I know I messed it up by clearing data on system framework. But I have no idea how that messed it up.
You could just flash a custom rom and that will fix the issue. The problem is that the playstore is being updated constantly. Any Inverted playstore I have running ends up getting automatically updated to the most recent release anyways, so I just kind of gave up theming it. You probably installed an old version of playstore. The playstore must have some automatic connection protocol that enables it to automatically update without permission, and an old playstore might not allow that connection.
You might just be able to completely delete the playstore from your phone to install a recent one, but I have no idea if that would work. Someone has to know how to fix this without a restore or flashing a new rom.

So pretty much I should just do a Titanium Backup for all my apps except the Play Store, install the custom ROM, then restore the data for all my apps and hope the Play Store works?

That will work for sure, just have to find a custom rom you like. Your play store won't restore even if it's backed up through titanium. It's a good idea to have titanium anyway.
Never restore system data, only restore user apps + data. That's known to cause problems after a restore.

Are you new to flashing roms? Just make sure you do all the proper steps first.
Nandroid and unlock bootloader first.
factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom.
Follow the instructions on the roms page and you're good to go.

I'm now at the point where Google Drive and Google+ keep crashing too. I'm realizing this is a problem with all the google apps, so what would happen if I just flashed a gapps zip file for 4.1.2 via TWRP? would that work since this seems to be a problem within all the apps by google? im running the latest ota, the MD3 build.

That is very strange, give it a shot, flashing a gapps package might work. I do think it's a problem with the Google apps though, so your play store is working right? I think all you need now is let the play store auto update. Maybe there's a way to force it. That should allow the rest of your apps to work.

so if anybody having this problem again
i get mine fixed by doing this :
1. Open any file explorer that have root access
2. Search for a folder named "system" and then look for a folder that says "etc"
3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor
4. Delete everything in the host file
5. Save
I ended up fixing it by flashing another rom, using titanium backup to copy the play store. and then reflashed back to the original rom I was using and then restored with copy of the play store i previously had.

The host file is read-only, I can't modify it.
I too have the same issue and cannot edit the file due to read-only permissions.
