I have been trying to fix a recurring force closing of the stock Charge messaging app that happens at random times even after a fresh ODIN install of the stock/factory ep4d + Updates ROM or rooted Deodexed stock or Tweaked lite 1 ROM flash and I use the same ODIN and ZIP files that I've had that always worked b4. I have also had a sporadic (afaik) loss of text messages or sometimes receiving the text but no notification. The force close seems to happen randomly when I am in another app and the screen will freeze for about 2 seconds and then I get a force close usually of the mms app though the same has occurred once or twice from other apps including YouTube. This does not seem to be the problem of other apps that I later install because as the image attached shows, it starts happening even before I have set the phone up after an ODIN flash of the factory image. FWIW, the verizon 411 bloatware app always force closes also when I turn the phone on for the first time after ODIN/Stock flash. Any ideas on what could be causing this or what else I could try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Below is 2 of the message that popped up on first boot after this last time I Odin'd back to stock- There were actually 2 mms and 1 411 app force closes within 5 minutes of startup. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hopefully anyone else that might be having this problem can find this thread, because there are tons of them but none suggested what worked for me:
Info:
HTC Incredible, 2.3.4, rooted but stock with crap apps removed
After attempting to clear the dialer storage (trying to delete all of my texts because my phone will lock up when trying to delete large threads, but that's a different issue), the process com.android.phone started force closing repeatedly. I tried clearing the data for the phone app, but pretty much everything crashed when I tried to (phone froze, notification bar disappeared, etc.). I tried toggling airplane mode and mobile network/data, but the options were greyed out. I tried rebooting and soft resets.
What finally worked was running "Fix Permissions" via ROM Manager (I assume it would work via CWM as well). The whole process froze eventually, with the notification bar disappearing and all that again, but the force close dialogs had stopped. I rebooted my phone and all is back to normal.
Hope this helps someone.
Your post does help.
I deleted phone stock app, because I have that dialer from go devs already...and the message pop up eventually.
Fix permission in recovery of CWM does work. Message gone ! But cannot call lolz....
I had the same problem with all of my custom roms I was trying on my Nexus S and I found the exact problem (after months) and how to fix it...pretty easy
The problem is the Stk.apk, just remove the Stk.apk from the rom (in the .zip file) or easier than going thru Winzip, just flash the rom do the setup and with ( I use Root Uninstaller ) remove it from system/app and you'll get rid of the problem
Enjoy
I tried all the solutions recommended and nothing worked. I called in to sprint and all i had to do was go to the dial pad and dial ##72786#
Hope that helps if anybody else is running into this problem.
Sometimes, at random, my phone will stop responding. After letting it sit for a little bit, it says that TwLauncher has crashed. This happens when dragging certain widgets to the home screen and trying to use certain apps (Instagram). These crashes do not happen when flashing back to stock via a backup on CWM.
Is there a way to fix this, or am I stuck until an official build comes out?
My current build is IML74K

Try wiping cache and Dalvik in recovery.
Okay here's the deal, in setup the phone wont activate, when I set it up with wifi basically nothing works and is generally glitchy. Ex: if the screen suspends the phone will shortly turn off, apps freeze randomly I could be on an app for 15 minutes and it doesnt freeze other times I will be on it for 10 seconds and it will freeze.
I have used odin many times to try and fix this, I tried oc3 and oe2. I even tried to use flashfire to wipe and install but to no avail it simply just restarts when I try to flash. If anyone has any fixes or just a general idea with whats going on I can fix it be specfic as possible I've worked with android devices for many years.
Sidenote: this happened when I soft bricked my phone and then flashed the stock rom

Pardon for a long story but someone gave this Samsung J7 Prime(SM-G610F) to me with an issue "An Error Has Occurred While Updating The Device Software". So I gave Samsung Smart Switch a try sadly they removed the Initialize option and old version don't seam to do what it suppose to do so I wen to a traditional Odin flashing. I then look for a stock rom for the phone that I think is the right one. Started with android 6 MM region pakistan and flashing went well. I was able to use it for a good hour or two until I notice it restarted by it self, then it keeps doing it 10-20 seconds after booting up. I though its the firmware I'm using so I went and look for Oreo version this time I region india (I don't know if region matters). So I flashed it again and tested the device again. I'm still able to use it for a good while till it restarted again. I then keep testing it to see what may be causing the problem. I notice that when the WIFI is on it just crash the phone to reboot so as soon as the phone reboots I turned the wifi off and it didn't crash anymore. I then factory reset the phone cleared everything, wipe cache then installed benchmark tools first. Thing I notice is it crashes when Google Play store is trying to install or download something. I tested it a couple of times to see when it crash and it does crash when downloading or installing something. I was still able to install 3Dmark and run it with wifi off. It completed the test without crashing so it couldn't the processor issue. I then look for another rom and tried flashing it. This time I had issue with it failing at system.img even if I use recent rom that worked. I then keep trying till flashing TWRP worked and flashing the rest of the rom is fine again.
What bothers me is why doesn't it crash during the first couple of hours. I've search similar issues and they say it may have been and app issue. I've already disabled bunch of app but nothing changed. Run the phone in safe mode but this time instead of crashing and rebooting right away it freezes for a few seconds. I suspect if google play or something being an issue since I've tried disabling it and it didn't crash for a couple of hours. Looked for allot of related thread but none of them seam to solve my problem.
I suspect either its the rom that I'm using and it can only be fixed by using the original rom, or its having a memory issue but don't know how to pin point it. Anyone can suggest on how I can debug this? I'm used to debugging things in real time and my knowledge with android is a quite slim but as a programming understanding the errors won't be a problem. I hope.
Edit: Hmm. Does copying kernel log with TWRP work or the kernel logs get overwritten every time the phone reboots? Because I see the kernet logs but don't see anything failing except for something saying SHUTDOWN but I don't think thats it. :S
Still no reply. :S I think its /system dismounting it self while doing a write operation. but it doesn't trigger until a certain amount of time after the phone is flashed or factory reset. I have to go to recovery and mount system back but that only happens on marshmallow. over version it remounts it self after the random reboot. After factory reset I'm able to install COD mobile and play a couple of match. after a long while it just decides to reboot.
I also tried z3x and after reading PIT from phone OK. the phone just reboots and flashing completes without it doing any flashing.
