I'm not sure how to describe this, and I looked through the threads some, but it didn't seem to match any of others' problems exactly. I'm running MOAR v6.2 Oa6, and every few minutes things seem to "refresh." Anything hanging out in the notification bar reappears, Lux quits then readjusts the screen, any music stops and goes away, Link Bubble disappears. If I'm using other apps, like Facebook, it goes unaffected, but if I have Pandora on-screen, it stops. If I am actively looking at Link Bubble it will stay, but the bubble goes away if it's just sitting there and this happens. It seems to be just a few apps that use a persistent notification that are affected.
I've tried disabling Greenify to see if that was the culprit, I've tried doing a factory reset, I've even tried reflashing MOAR, thinking it was a snafu the first flash. Still does it.
Thanks for your help!
Just one more detail that might be related, the Play Store seems to keep quitting while downloading apps, especially if downloading multiple apps at once. My guess is that it stems from the same cause.
Just thought I'd post an update as I think I found the solution. As my apps were seeming to restart and crash constantly, I ended up flashing stock (there was an update anyway) and reinstalling MOAR. But what I think did it, since I experienced the same problem after all that anyway, was doing a more thorough wipe. Instead of just a regular factory reset or just cleaning out the cache and dalvic, I wiped the cache, dalvic, data, and internal data, and that seemed to do the trick.

I've applied the market fix to my Charge, and things display properly, but I'm occasionally having an issue with being able to install apps. I'll download something from the market, but it won't go past the installation progress bar and say its complete. If I force-close the market and re-open it, the option to download is either greyed out, or it won't go past the button to accept the permissions. Like the button will register but then nothing happens and I'll be at that same screen.
Once it happens with one app it seems to stop all others from installing too, in either Android Market or the Amazon App Store. Only way I've really found to fix it is to boot into CWM, clear cache and Dalvik cache, reboot, and wait for everything to populate from my sd card. Even then it will often re-occur after awhile.
After clearing the dalvik cache it often takes quite some time for the apps on my sdcard to show up as installed and actually work, despite the media scan showing completed right after I boot. And sometimes I'll have to force a screen redraw to see the icons. I'm also occasionally having a force close, freeze, or system restart, though those are pretty rare.
I'm running EE4 basebands, imnuts PBJ kernel with voodoo (6-02), and the deodexed EE4 ROM. I've flashed the sd card read-only fix, market fix, AOSP lockscreen, and accurate battery mod. I don't know what's going on, but while I love how fast my phone is now, its really getting tiring having to reboot it from time to time just get app installations to work.
I don't know if I should try reflashing everything, or just run GummyCharged. Does anyone have any ideas about what may be going on??

Make sure you don't have any apps installed on the SD card. That causes nothing but problems and lagginess. Settings->Applications->Manage Applications click tab on installed on SD card. Move all apps to internal memory.
*** I have spent an hour searching through posts looking for this issue. Unless my search-fu is way off today, I can not find this issue.
Problem Cause
Improper shutdown
Was in a game of Battleheart, battery was dying, I plugged it in;not realizing that the power bar I plugged into was not on, tablet power off mid play a few moments later.
So I plug it in for a few mins, then turn it back on to nothing but a bunch of force closes rendering the tablet nearly inoperable.
Problem:
Constant force closes.
-com.google.process.gapps
-com.google.android.patrsnership
-com.google.android.gm
-com.google.android.vending
-com.google.android.calander
com.google.android.gmail
-com.google.providers.calander
etc
Force close Issues
-No Wifi,
-Cannot modify home screens in any way. If I try to remove a widget, the launcher goes into a constant force close loop com.android.launcher, effectivly disabling the tablet.
-Settings will not "take" I have read that solving the typical force closes that I am seeing is disableing the syncing via google and also clearing data/cache from gmaps, calander, bookmarks etc. However, while I can access settings and choose the options to remove this data, nothing actually happens. I deselect the sycing options under settings, but after reboot they are re selected.
-Cannot install any applications. Another solution mentioned was to install a new launcher, like ADW, or LP. Trying to install an apk immediately sends the device to the ausus boot logo and it will boot loop 5 times (loading circle dots rotate, then disappear while still at the asus logo) before finally loading to the home screen and its many force closes.
Solution?
I have not found one yet that is satisfactory. I was hoping toi pick the brains among some of you here, who may have more knowledge insight in solving this issue,
-Factory Reset? While this is always an option, it stinks. Like really. I'm about 15/16gb used on my internal mem. I have tons of apps, music, books, pics, progress in games etc that really sucks to lose.
-Hard Reset? See above
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear em! Thanks!
have you tried a cold linux boot? hold the power and volume down for 10 seconds. You will then have the option to wipe the tablet. wait a few seconds, and another option becomes available(a not wipe symbol). This cold boots the os
Try clearing your dalvik cache.
+1 on wipe caches
had this problem, just wiped 'em and tada

Thanks for the quick replies.
Sorry I should have mentioned, I am running stock. No root, no custom recovery.
Is wiping the dalvik cache still an option?
aaaand people ask why we use CWM. This is why.
idk unless nvflash can fix it you have to lose all your crap in a factory reset.
I have Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4 JVR and it works like a charm - with this one exception: sometimes (too often) phone, contacts and messages (sms) keep closing. This happens usually within a second or two after opening up them. There's no force close message, it just returns to the home screen without any warning. If I reopen it, it usually does the same a couple of times, but eventually I get it to open.
At first I thought this must be a memory issue. However, I have Autokiller installed (my phone is rooted) and I have usually >100M free memory. Then I thought it must be Autokiller killing the dialer, contacts or messages apps. BUT: this happened also before I had Autokiller installed, so it can't be that either. The strangest thing is that I tried installing GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts + Dialer, and even they do the same thing occasionally (close immediately after I open them), so it isn't a problem with apps either.
I am bedazzled here, could somebody please help me? This starts to get really annoying, since the dialer, contacts and messages are the feature you normally use most in your phone!
I have the exact same problem! Somebody, please help
the phone app and etc. seem to be corrupt or something
try reflashing.If you keep getting the problem then revert back to your previous rom =/
Is there any way to try to replace only the phone etc. apps without flashing the whole rom?
from my experience no but you can try replacing phone.apk sms.apk etc with the previous rom's apps
The funny thing is that I have a stock 2.3.4 JVR, so it should be stable.
Plus, did I mention that this happens only sometimes? Sometimes they work ok. But this happens often enough to be annoying. You know, when you would have to make a quick phone call you have to open the phone app like 3-4 times, only then you're able to make it. I wondered if the the problem could still be in the dialer, contacts and messaging apps even if the problem occurred only sometimes?
In addition, the calendar app has done this a couple of times. Could it be that there's a conflicting app that's causing this? If so, do you have any suggestion what it would be?
Autokiller made my phone do some really funny stuff. After installing it i was having random reboots and apps crashing so i uninstalled and problem solved. You said it was happening before you installed it though so im just guessing that you need to either wipe cache and dalvik then reboot or do a full wipe and reinstall of your rom. When you do the full wipe go into mounts and storage and wipe system too
Hi and thanks for your comment. What are the effects of wiping the cache and the dalvik cache? Do I lose important data? Or can I do it safely? Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b with android. I suppose you wipe the cache in download mode, right?
I experience exactly the same issue as you-though I am on stock jvu.I come from 2.3.3, stock as well, using chainfire root both times.
Sometimes phone contacts and message s close immediately after opening them, often several times. and sometimes everythings fine
here you can find some information about dalvik and normal cache wipe..your data will be safe-only first boot will take longer.I will try wiping now, too-reporting back then.
Edit:
For now wiping seems to have worked well and fixed the problem here..I need some more testing though-will keep you up to date here
edit 2: damn! The issue's still there.anyone got more ideas?
G'day!
I have the exact same problem with JVU and I had this problem with 2.3.3 but less frequent. I have no choice but to reboot the phone when it happen. I suspect it's caused by one of the widget (email and Go weather) that I put on the desktop. Going to remove the two widgets from desktop and see if it's help.

Okay, that sounds interesting - though I am not sure wheter a widget could cause this...
I am still running JVU but now with Galaxian Kernel instead of Chainfires root Kernel - flashed with SGS Kernel Flasher and still got root - and it runs very stable and fast 'till now. No more closing of phone, contacts and messages so far -.- since 2 days.
I'll tell you when it happens again, but so far it seemed to be a kernel issue for me...
I've been having the same issues with my Samsung SideKick 4G. messages would keep closing as I was typing them, I would lag and the key I pressed would "press again" like 15 more times, sometimes I just couldn't open a conversation, other times I couldnt answer phone calls cause the UI lagged.
That was all on stock firmware, and I got fed up with it so I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, and before I did that I had it OC'd to 1.2GHz which was actually pretty great. Needless to say, I screwed up on flashing the ROM and now I'm looking for firmware to odin back to stock. =\
IDK Which is causing this and am trying to figure out how I can find the culprit, but my Edge has suddenly begun locking up and completely freezing where if left alone like that it hot reboots, it had to of been a recent app I installed in the past 12 hours cause wasn't it doing it last night.
How can I figure this out to see what the last processed app was before the lock up and battery pull.
Seriously I've pulled my battery at least 6 times today and it's driving me insane. Went and uninstalled a few recently installed app's but still am suffering.
Bout ready to break something if something doesn't change. LoL! I can't even be up from a fresh reboot for a couple minutes without it locking up.
Wished I knew about this awful lag beforehand, would've waited for the Note Edge 2. I don't get how a Note 3 can out perform a Note 4 Edge.
Not really an edge problem. Specific to your piece.
If you've already uninstalled the recently installed apps, then next step would be clearing cache from recovery.
If that doesn't work, then looks like it will have to be a factory reset. Do backup first.
If rooted with a custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and see.

I may just do a cache cleaning then a dirty flash, see if that gets rid of the problem or if it still presists to remain present.
Oddly enough if started acting up when I uninstalled SetCPU, now I'm looking for a more up-to-date CPU Tweaker/Tuner.
May also delete the Android folder on my external sd card, since I've been cleaning up and cutting back on a lot of app's, uninstalling a few everyday, installed a bunch from a backup, then been weeding them out.
Recovery > Wiping Dalvik Cache, System and Cache then dirty flashing the rom all over again seemed to work and allow me to keep all my app's and stuff.
It turns out I think it was the Xposed Module Power Nap. Uninstalled it and no more lockups.
Hello guys! I have a bit tricky/technical question here. Yesterday I wanted to refresh my Pixel 3 a bit (clean flash with the December firmware, then rooted and never received OTA updates) so I booted TWRP and cleared the Dalvik Cache. When I rebooted, I noticed that some apps (especially Google ones like Youtube, built-in Camera, Maps) all suffer from a slow launch. A lot slower. Like... 3-4 seconds before the YouTube app can show anything different than the white splash screen with the red play logo. The Camera is also slow enough to see the fully black screen with the small centered camera icon for 2 seconds too. This only happens on clean start (when the app is cleared from the Recent Apps panel).
I checked the /data/dalvik-cache folder and it seems that all files are re-created after the wipe, however it's fairly obvious that the apps are no longer running from the odex/oat/whatever it's called now binaries. Clearing the app cache doesn't solve the issue, I've tried that. The only 'working' solution seems to be uninstalling the offending apps (e.g. Youtube) and then performing a clean install from the PlayStore. Then, the app launches fast as usual. However, I'm afraid that I can't do this for all of my apps (I'm going to lose preferences) plus I'm kind of afraid that the System apps (like the "Settings" app) cannot be re-installed with such ease and I will be stick with slow 'clean starts' here and there forever.
Do you guys know how I can trigger the 'App optimization' process that is observed when an OTA update is applied? You know, that time consuming screen that says 'Optimizing apps, 7 of 82'. This is when Android rebuilds the dalvik-cache and apparently I need to manually perform that. The other option would be to perform a clean flash (I'm already 4 months behind anyway), but I'm not particularly thrilled by the idea. Any suggestions on how to manually trigger the App Optimization process in order to rebuild my Dalvik?
I don't have a fix for you, but don't do that with TWRP. It does not apply to newer phones.
