[Q] Issues with phone after flashing a new ROM (Unfortunately, Google Search has...)

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!

Android is upgrading. Every boot. ART only

Having just rooted and unlocked boot loader, my N5 is giving the "android is upgrading" message for 80+ apps (half the usual) on EVERY reboot. This behaviour is only seen with ART runtime. Not with Dalvik. It was also not seen when on ART in stock form. Running Franco r14 kernel with stock rom. Any ideas?

Thats how it is every boot it has to pre compile the code for apps

Hmm...but in pre root form, this only happened the first time after selecting runtime. Now its happening every reboot! Is this supposed to be normal for a rooted phone?

I don't see that issue on my s2 skyrocket running 4.4 art. I'm not running art on my n5. I'm guessing it's an issue with the franko kernel, but that's just a guess

This happens to my N5 as well. Omni 12/01 nightly + Franco r14

chill out guys, this is normal behavior when using ART.

This is not normal behavior at all on stock ROM. When you switch to ART, it only does the upgrade/compile thing on the first boot. Having it redo it after every reboot is probably a compatibility issue with the ROM you are running.

That's my recollection as well. It still is on stock ROM. But it looks like other people who have rooted are facing issues that might have arose from kernel or app issues.
I have already wiped cache and rebuilt dalvik fwiw. Also uninstalled titanium backup while no weird odex files are noted. Only Franco kernel left as last data point but I wanted to see if others faced this problem before taking the plunge to reinstall stock kernel

It does not happen on stock rooted for me either. I would suggest returning to stock rooted to use ART. According to Omni threads they are in nightlies so stuff is expected to be wrong.

Fwiw. I've flashed stock kernel, reflashed the patched libart.so (ie. Whatsapp compatibility fix) , reinstalled whatsapp. Still no joy.

Ah... from According to:
[url]https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61916
The problem is identified as an extra unbalance check between MonitorEnter / MonitorExit JVM instructions, which ART does and Dalvik doesn't. Some apps (such as Whatsapp) fail to have those balanced.
The fix will be probably fixed in AOSP sooner than later...
Sooo ... everybody relax and have a cup of tea (me included) :good:[/QUOTE]

Ah... from [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47473296”]this thread about ART[/URL], this upgrading on every boot seems a known ART bug related to partially incompatible apps like whatsapp

Hmmm... sorry for the bad news but the problem discussed in that thread is unrelated with yours. We were discussing the (initial) whatsapp incompatibility.
BTW: Using ART here (Nexus 4), absolutely no problems now

it will depend on your apps. this is normal behavior. my n7 doesnt go through it, but my n4 does. they have different apps installed. my n5 goes yhrough it as well(but only 3 apps upgrading on a reboot). its fine if you want to freak out over it, but in reality it is normal.

I have 80 apps upgrading on reboot..and these are pretty standard apps.... This is quite a mysterious situation.
Good to know its happening. Perhaps next ota will address this...

my nexus 4 has 92 apps that upgrade after every reboot while on ART. 92 apps, out of 183 apps.

I’m using ART. Running Purity ROM with ElementalX. No long boot issue. I did have a long boot with apps optimization when I switched to ART the first time, but since then it boots normally and quickly.

Updated to 4.4.1. Had to flash stock boot and system IMG along the way. Updated, rooted and now it seems fine. Fast reboot with no data loss!

i am running stock 4.4.2 on N5 with bootloader unlocked and after each reboot i face the same cache rebuilt thing (android is upgrading) for all the user applications i have. Is it normal for stock rom too? have you seen any one on stock who is having otherwise?

I have this problem on my sony xperia sp running cm11, but it is happening since 5 days. Maybe it is the new version of a custom kernel, or link2sd.

Nope it's not normal. What else have you installed or flashed?

Random reboots stock unrooted tab 2 7 inch

I am getting random reboots!!
When i start to interact ..it reboots after some seconds. frustrating
Play store was behaving badly too.
asked me to sign in again. asked me to re install google plus. reseted my auto update preferences. so on.
Apps are stopped on background. "unfortunately Dropbox has stopped" etc. unupdated and unused dropbox. Also bbm,
Updated apps are shown recently un-updated.
What could have gone wrong?
i have 1.23 gb free storage available.

Now it thinks its new ...asking me to pick device language..the initialization screen??

Did you tried to wipe all the data and begin again? Or flashing any custom rom?

My N5 keeps crashing please help

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. ?

[Q] How often automatic crash reboot on Android? (Lollipop)

A bit of history, I was running KK Cloudy 1.2 for a while with xposed and I'd get a 1 or 2 auto reboots from apps/system crashing. I figured this was probably because KK was old and runnign xposed modules.
Recently I clean flash upgraded to 'D850 20f Stock ROM Debloated' Lollipop ROM by cmulk.
I'm still getting one or two auto reboots a day from system crashing. Is this normal?
Even on other ROMs as a more general question how often does your guys system auto reboot from a crash? How often do you reboot manually?
Just so everyone knows how clean of flash I did...
I went through the process of restoring the factory image using LG Flash Tool and TOT file. Then I immediately stump rooted, flashified TWRP, updated TWRP to latest twrp-2.8.5.1_d850-bumped.zip, wipe in TWRP, installed D850_20F_2.0.1.c1.13-00050_Modem.zip and then Debloated_Stock_20f.zip. Then let PS reinstall apps and configured everything manually. Didn't even do a TB restore.
So is this normal behavior for android? Or just the LG G3? Or just me? Thanks!!!

Too early for me to tell. Installed yesterday morning, clean install. So far in the 24 hours, no rebooting. Only thing thus far is my LED is not signaling as designed.
The clean ROM install is 5K faster with Antutu than KK, and 17K faster than a dirty install of the same 5.01 ROM This was repeated x3 to make sure it was the clean install which made the difference for me... yup.

Thanks for the reply. Let me know how it goes. I heard about the led issue some folks are trying to get some logs to debug it.
I went through the process again and this time I installed a lot less apps. I'm going to see if that helps.

I didn't have any random reboots until I installed Trickster.. which was stupid of me since there's no BusyBox on the 20f release by AutoPrime
As soon as I uninstalled it after 1 reboot it hasn't happened again.
So if you've got Trickster or any other Kernel Tweak apps installed.. try uninstalling

Two days, no reboots.

I've been running autoprime's stock 20f with Xposed for a week and a half with not a single random reboot. I'm actually amazed by the performance and stability. Wiped system, cache, and data, flashed ROM, and reinstalled all apps with TB (without app data). Froze all AT&T and some LG apps with TB, and removed CarrierIQ.
Activated Xposed Modules:
AcDisplay

G3 TweaksBox (1.4 beta 2)
GravityBox [LP]

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I wiped system and cache also.

Similar to you, but also wiped system. Titanium installed apps and data. Only two days old at this point. Is stable so far. Very unlike my past trials with LP ROMs. Glad I waited.

Forgot to include that I wiped system and cache also. So glad I waited as well. It is mind blowing how stable it is, especially with an alpha version of Xposed and so many alpha/beta modules. Just installed the beta versions of Greenify and AppSettings also, so we'll see if that introduces any instability.
After restoring apps with their data, were there any apps that you had to clear data for due to issues? Or have they all been solid?

I had all sorts of random reboots with this phone. It started while I was still running stock kitkat . Things got much better after I reformatted my ext SD card to what ever these devices prefer. I think it's fat 32?

Thanks for the all replies guys.
So far I'm still averaging about a reboot or two a day since I uninstalled a bunch of apps. I don't have any apps that run regularly besides some gapps and soundcloud. I also uninstalled greenify to see if that helped. I don't have any kernel mods and not running xposed either. Probably the most non-stock thing I'm running is the XCam app. But the phone hasn't crashed while using that app.
It's interesting to hear that some of you haven't had any reboots. Makes me wonder if I have faulty hardware. I guess the only way to find out is to go back to complete stock, take the lollipop OTA update and see if it still crashes. I assume if it did I could get another warranty replacement. I also might as mention this G3 is actually a warranty replacement due to my original phone having a LCD defect.
Also I did wipe system and cache before installing lollipop modem and zip update but thanks for the ideas. Maybe I should try autoprime's stock 20f load but I can't see how that'd be any better/different than cmulks debloated 20f?
Any of you guys know a way to use logcat to capture logs just before the crash? I see there is an app to write logcat out to external SD but the crashes are intermittent so it seems I'd probably fill up my SD card before getting a good trace.

I'm sure someone will come along who can provide more detail. It does not take long for a log to fill. I did my first few today and an 800K file was about 28 pages long. That is a lot to look through unless you know what to search for.

Anyways, as far as the logs go, the easiest way is by using adb logcat on a PC. Look for guides on how to set all that up....then again, your rooted on LP so that should be done already
The first command to run is "adb logcat *:W >> C:\bootwarn.txt". Enable ADB, power off your phone, plug your phone in to your computer, and let it boot up to the home screen and let it sit there for a minute or two. End the command by using "control+c".
Next, run the command "adb logcat *:W >> C:\notificationwarn.txt" while intentionally doing things that should make your notification light blink -- email yourself, have someone text you a few times, call you, etc. End the command the same way. We need to catch the warnings and errors that are being thrown, so hopefully doing that will help find it.
To help you out on the commands "*:W" tells logcat to only display warnings and up and ">>" tells it to append to a file located where you tell it to be....">" all alone will overwrite a file if it's there.
Anyways, on both those commands, do them twice only changing out the ":W" for ":E" so it'll filter out errors and up.
******************
What worked for me in the first part of his instructions, was to have the command ready/typed into the command prompt on the PC but don't hit the return yet. Then, with the phone off, plug into the computer, wait for the computer to register the phone/acknowledge it, just turn on the phone, and once it starts up press the return key on the PC keyboard to launch the commend. The log will catch things as the phone starts to boot. I tried with the specific directions, but for some reason the PC could not find the device, other than how I detailed here. Just for that first command where the phone is off.
Good luck
