[Q] MusicFx has stopped working. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i just got my Nexus 7 a couple days ago and successfully rooted it at 4.2.1 stock android.
Ive installed only a couple of apps and everything seems to be working. Then one day i decided
to try Beats Audio Installer Pro for Root v1.2. I installed it successfully. After loading my equalizer in
the stock google play, it loaded many equaliser bars than the stock 5 and then i tried changing them to test it. Nothing changed
even when i toggled it on or off. Then i decided to uninstall it. It reboots and loads normally.
Now when i clicked on my equalizer settign in the stock google play, it says: 'MusicFX has stopped'.
I tried factory reset and got nothing. At stock rooted, its still comes up with 'MusicFX has stopped'.
Even tried installing other equalisers on the market and they all stop working since im sure
the stock MusicFX process is needed for them to work. I have nothing else to try.
Help would be nice or i might return the device back to stock unrooted and check for warranty or something.
Thanks.

Obviously reinstalling stock will fix it. Because I am also having same problem but i don't wanna install stock again just for equilizer because my previous settings for musicfx seems to be working till now. If you get solution without installing stock again then plz do tell me. I am also waiting here eagerly.

Still no luck. MusicFX is still not working on my phone but but but I installed ROCKET MUSIC PLAYER, It comes with own equilizer and it's working fine whereas equilizers of other music apps are not working.

Using root browser you can copy audio configuration in other rooted nexus7 and paste in your your system/etc and also copy soundFX and paste in your system/ lib soundfx folder and change the permission to rw.r.r and reboot your device..but remember u need to delete all the files inserted by beats..you find it in your system/lib,system/etc,and system/bin.

sorry about the wait
I had totally forgot about this thread since i left my tablet for a long time.
How i fixed it was just returning it to the original rom. It was the new rom indeed and beats not being compatible with my nexus 7. It seems Beats trys to take over musix fx and stops it from working. I just tried other roms instead without beats and everything was fine. Seems beats doesn't work some some devices.
Anyway atm, my nexus 7 is dead and posted prior to this one.

[Q] Viper4android

Hey everybody, i'm running the eclipse rom for the verizon s5. I installed viper4android and it's not really working. i restart my phone and it will work for like 5 seconds then just stop working, i'm not pressing any buttons, it just stops working automatically. is it because of the rom i'm running or just because i'm not activating it correctly/installed it wrong? Really would like this to work as i want my sub to be playing louder on frequencies 35hz and lower. Thanks in advance.
Mine wasn't working at all after update to ni2. Uninstalled the driver, the app, restarted, then re installed both. Set force enable V4A, restarted and everything is groovy again.

[Q] Google Play Store crashing in every ROM I try

Hi all,
Been having some fairly major issues with this tablet recently. Sorry for the back story, but I'm unsure whether it's related or not...
I primarily use the tablet to watch videos on while I'm commuting from an external USB stick. Always used to be 100% fine, running AOKP ROM for around a year. In the last month or so, I would watch a video and it would work for a couple of minutes, then the video would freeze and the audio soon after. To fix it I'd have to close MX Player, and unplug/plug back in the USB stick. Then it would happen again.
I therefore copied files onto the internal storage, and didn't have problems with this (a 4GB video file would copy with no issues). Then watch from internal storage with no issues.
I decided to try a different ROM and see if it helped the USB OTG issues. This is where the real problems started. I changed to a different Android 4.4 ROM (Purity I think?), and had Google Play Store crashing soon after starting, if I tried to download an app. After the initial crash, I would continually get 'Google Play Store has stopped working' messages. Rebooting etc made no difference. I would also get the same issue if I tried downloading an APK through the built in browser (it crashes).
I have since tried about 5 different ROMs (Android 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 based) flashed through TWRP 2.8.4.0, with different Gapps, each time performing full or partial wipes/factor resets.
I have also tried restoring to stock settings through NTK, flashing factory images of 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 builds through the 'restore stock and unroot' option (whatever it is called). I have also re-locked and unlocked the bootloader again.
Basically, I don't know what else I can do. Every time I get into a new ROM, I complete the initial setup, I can't go into Google Play store without the app force closing. I can't think of what would be causing this if it's the same between a lot of different ROMs, with the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas..?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you're using correct gapps versions? They're specific gapps packages for 4.2, 4.4 AND 5.0.
If you're sure of the above, then yes, I suggest you capture `adb logcat` output when Play Store is crashing. Then share the log with us.
Basically some of the components of play store are located in the system partition and most of custom roms don't come with gapps packages you need therefore to flash them after installing a new rom. PA provides very nice and up to date solution. PA gapps on Google.
Sent from my Xiaomi MI2s
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had flashed correct Gapps packages for each ROM when required, but was still having the issue.
Somehow, after many hours spread over the last week, last night I seem to have fixed it.
I had suspected that it was an issue with a corrupt partition, (or permissions, or something!) on the internal storage, as it was only when I tried to download something that the browser crashed, and Play Store would generally only start crashing after a first time browsing with it. Also sometimes from within Recovery I wouldn't be able to wipe data properly (it would complete almost instantly, sometimes not removing a previous ROM...). Sometimes it did seem to work properly though.
I can't pin down exactly what I did that fixed it though. I tried 2 things at once: I manually wiped each of /system, /cache, etc through fastboot in the bootloader, and I also (from adb in recovery) manually did mkdir /data and mkdir /data/media
I'm not sure which of these worked, but I flashed a ROM and Gapps (AOKP again), and I haven't had any crashing so far...
I'm afraid to flash any other ROMs as it seems to be working now, so I think I'll leave it!
Probably should have looked at the adb logcat output, but didn't think of that while I was still having the issue.
Thanks

[Q] After Lollipop update the play store will no longer download or update anything

As the title suggests the play store no longer works on my g2. It is not rooted or modded in any way. Ive tried clearing the play store app along with google play services. That didnt work so i tried to factory reset still to no avail. Someone please help before i throw this crap away.
I'm afraid the same was happening to me, I went back to KitKat and installed CloudyG2 since I was on it.. You could also restore a back-up made using the LG PC Suite.
Good luck!
So i would have to go back to kit kat before doing the backup? And how would I go back to kitkat exactly?
Guess I was replying too early in the morning and wasn't awake just yet Let me explain:
If you would have updated to LolliPop using the LG PC Suite, it would've asked you if you want to create a back-up of your current installation. I meant you could restore this back-up.
If you don't, I've got another idea for you. But I gotta work this out first. Haven't got much time to do this right now, but I'll get onto it later if you want.
That would be great because i have no backup from kitkat so unless i can find a way to fix this im gonna have to get a new phone probably. I cant use 90% of my apps right now. Only google chrome, calling, and texting still work
Could you describe exactly what the Play Store does btw? Does YouTube still work?
For me the Play Store was just showing a blank screen and nothing else.. Just gotta be sure if you've got the same issues as me.
Youtube works fine for some reason. But the play store is working. I can see all the appd and everything, just whenever i try to update or download an app it just continuously says downloading and moves the bar non stop without any change until I stop it. Ive tried wifi vs data and have even let it try to download an update for google play services for over 24 hours.
Hmm that's another thing than I experienced.. But still flashing another ROM could be a solution, if you're fine with that.
However, I'd suggest you back up your current installation first. Either using the LG PC Suite or using a custom recovery. I personally wouldn't go through the hassle of installing a custom recovery when there's another, easier option, but that's up to you.
This is the way I flashed it back to KitKat (and afterwards to the Custom ROM Cloudy G2)
And pay attention, if you use this and something goes terribly wrong, it's at your own risk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 (I used the KDZ Method)
If you've done that you're set to either flash a Custom ROM or keep your device on stock KitKat.
This is optional however, but I did it because I just like to experiment and tweak my phone
Let me now if you need any further directions, for example installing a Custom ROM
Having the same problem here too. After updating, can't use the Play Store. Tried cleaning cache, data and even removing Google account didn't help. Btw, does all your apps work, especially the ones downloaded from Play Store?

Viper4Android System Wide

Hello,
I recently clean flashed stock 5.1.1 and installed Viper4Android but I cannot seem to get it to work system wide. It works fine through play music but it won't process for youtube, etc. I am using the latest Viper4Android version, latest busybox and SELinux is permissive. I moved the apk to /system/priv-app, rebooted, installed drivers, rebooted, then started setting it up. I don't know if this is a problem with the way I set it up or if it is simply because I am using a stock ROM. I have another device with Cyanogenmod and Viper4Android processes for everything. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
I also installed Viper 2.3.3 over 5.1.1 but flashed it from recovery as it was suggested in one of the XDA posts. Also flashed build.prop and lib fixes that came with it. For some reason that flash cleared davlik cache, may that's the requirement for Viper. I think Viper is OK with YouTube but it's hard to say as sound is always different. Sometimes its low. Highly promoted Vevo videos sound loud.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I managed to get it working system wide shortly after posting. I first fully removed my existing V4A installation, by uninstalling the driver, deleting data and uninstalling the app through link2sd. I rebooted and then downloaded the viperlolli zip from the nexus 5 forums, extracted it, replaced the apk with the latest version, renamed the apk folder, re-zipped and flashed. I then installed the driver, rebooted, set it up, and it is processing system wide (Youtube, Spotify, Chrome Beta, Play Music, etc). I don't know what changes the author did in the zip, but it worked wonders.

[HELP] i think i've encountered a new bug.

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.
Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar
I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy
Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.
