[Q] Gapps and other processes keep crashing - General Questions and Answers

yesterday I made a backup of my android phone using clockwork mod. After that I installed CM11 and flashed gapps it was working just fine. But I decided to restore to my old backup. So I whipped the phone cache and did a factory reset. But when the restore finishes and I restart my phone the phone becomes practically unusable. It says Unfortunatley the proceses com.google.gaspps has stopped. So every time I press ok the processes says the same thing along with other proceses that keep crashing. My phone is a s4 and the back up was of Kitkat 4.4.2 touchwiz.

try clear all gapps (playstore,gmail,google sync,etc) data and cache

Partial Factory Resets?

So the past 2 days I've had an interesting problem, with even more interesting results.
Both mornings I've tried to use my GPS and it just hangs on trying to connect to it. The GPS says it's on, and I can toggle it off and back on again but it never finds any sats.
Yesterday I reboot the phone and it takes a while to boot the phone back up (most like the first time you boot after a fresh install), and when the phone came back online the GPS worked but all my bluetooth pairings were gone.
Today I have the same GPS problem so I reboot again, and again it takes a while to boot and so far I still have my bluetooth pairings, but I've been unable to connect to the devices, all my sound settings are back to the defaults, when I hold down the power button now the only option I have is Power Off, nothing else, when my screen times out and I hit power to bring it back on it goes right back to wherever I was, I don't see the lock screen anymore. And to top it all off my home button and my search button do not work.
What a mess, this phone is getting worse by the day, I'm actually starting to regret the purchase. I guess it's time to call it in and see what they say.
Edit: Forgot to add all my SMS messages were deleted as well.
Rooted? Have you done anything to it? That's definitely not normal but I guess you know that
Ya it's rooted and has nvflashed clockworkmod recovery installed. Rooted the day I got the phone and clockworkmod recovery has been installed for about a week.
I just tried clearing the cache partition, wiping Dalvik Cache, fixing permissions, and no change. Running a full backup via Titanium Backup now before I try a factory reset to see if that fixes it.
If that doesn't do it I'll try restoring a backup image from last week.

I would guess it's not the phone but the CWM made the mess. You probably want to try factory reset.
My Bluetooth settings and profiles randomly appear and disappear and I'm bone stock.
Well, factory reset got all my buttons working again, and my screen locks again. Since I'm back to stock now and have to re-setup everything now I think I'll go try out the Eaglesblood ROM and see how that goes.

Problem after BAMF Remix Flash

I flashed BAMF Remix 1.6.3 and everything seemed fine until I rebooted. I had restored everything. Now when I reboot I get:
ROM Manager Premium License has stopped unexpectedly
The Process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly
The Process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly
The last two pop up a few times. The radio does not connect.
Tried powering off once and it rebooted. Hit the power button on another occasion and it rebooted.
Great!
When you say restored everything, you mean using titanium backup ? Sounds to me like it wasn't a clean install or you restored apps+data and not just apps....... But idk just a stab in the dark

Seems like it wasn't a clean install. Did you make sure to wipe everything before flashing?
Yes, I wiped everything. My problem may have been restoring everything from Ti Backup. I flashed Clockwork Recovery and re-flashed BAMF and let the apps reload themselves and am selectively restoring certain items from Ti Backup. So far so good.
Still new to Ti Backup. Learning....
I had this same thing happen to me. Wiped and everything. When I restored backed up apps (with titanium) it started giving me never ending force quits to my phone (com.android.phone).
I am going to start from scratch again and see what happens...

[Q] Froze Andriod OS in Supermaid, can't boot.

I rooted my phone and replaced all kinds of things and a installed a new launcher, but the startup time was unbearable. I let my friend tinker with it, and from the SuperMaid app, he apparently froze the Android OS (I guess he thought my launcher was an OS) before I had a chance to back anything up with Titanium. When the phone died, it won't of course won't load. It's a Samsung Mesmerize, so I have the the one file from ClockModRecover, and that's it. I tried to restore that file, and it won't. Is my phone bricked? I'm kicking myself for all of this.
Well...did you install clockwork mod recovery? Not the manager app in android, but the actual recovery? If so, did you do a nandroid backup? If you did, restore it. If you never bothered to do a backup but do have cwm recovery, do a factory reset. If no cwm then last thing is boot into normal recovery and try a reset from there. You will likely lose root, and will need to root the phone again, and keep your friend out of your OS.

recovery isn't working
When I tried to restore the nandroid backup, it repeatedly failed saying it couldn't (I can't remember if it was mount or unmount) the system. So I did the factory restore as you suggested, and when I turned on the phone, I received a text message. However, I'm getting a force close message that's preventing me from doing anything: "The application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly...") When I click Force close, it just pops right back up, cutting off functionality of the phone.
Ok reboot back into recovery, wipe cache, go to advanced, wipe dalvik, fix permissions, reboot.

didn't work =(
I did all those things and the system repeatedly wouldn't unmount. I had to just go back to Froyo 2.2 with Odin. The good news there is now I can install Ice Cream Sandwich. I figure I can't do too much damage, and if I do, I still have the backup
I said to reboot not restore or flash, but I'm glad you got it all figured out. The fix permissions and caches being wiped was to try to fix the current install, not prep for a new rom or restore. At least I assumed flash or restore since you mentioned system not unmounting which only happens for that.

[Q] Factory Reset Did Not Wipe Anyhing

I'm trying to remove apps that's on this phone (GT-S7500) because some of the apps always force close and not working. Firstly, I tried uninstall the apps one by one, all went good until I rebooted the device, all of the apps are back again. Second, went to privacy>erase everything including SD card content, device rebooted and went straight to recovery. It was weird because normally it will reboot itself straight to home screen. So I select the option factory reset/wipe data, after that wipe cache partition and reboot. Device does not reboot but turned off completely (weird again) Turned it back on, and only saw that none of the apps were removed. Even the wallpaper are still the same. Next thing I do is manually boot into recovery menu and factory reset again, still the same thing, (device turned off without rebooting itself, turned it back on and everything was still the same) after few tries again, I finally decided to flash a stock rom with ODIN. Flashing was successful ODIN shows PASS, waiting device reboot but it shut off completely again. turned it back on, but nothing changes. wallpaper are still the same and every single downloaded apps were still there. Went to settings> about device only to found that it wasn't the same rom that I've flashed earlier using ODIN.(flashed 2-3 times again, results still the same) Very confused right now, suspected that the internal SD card was corrupted/damaged. Does anyone experiencing such thing on your galaxy ace plus? searched on xda forums and found that this issue was also happening on few other devices. This is not my phone, just helping a customer. Thank You.

Soft Brick Please Help

I recently got the Note 5 and I rooted and installed Moar Rom. The phone started to freeze and crash repeatedly. After trouble shooting and deleting apps/resetting it would still freeze, crash, reboot. I decided to restore the backup I made after root. I went into twrp, wiped the phone and started the restore, it froze mid restore and crashed and rebooted. Now there is no os on the phone and recovery will not work for more than 30 seconds without freezing and crashing. I have tried odin to flash a stock tar and start over but it always fails. 9/10 it hangs when trying to get pit, otherwise it just fails. I have trued to adb sideload as well but again the phone will not stay on long enough to finish any transfers. Any ideas??
