[Troubleshooting] Ghost Apps/ App install + compatibility isdues

I did a system+data wipe recently and reflashed CM10 + v4.zip...
Flashed minimal gapps (tejus.k.v's updated ones)
Wiped cache+dalvik.
Then I restored data from the backup I'd made before the wipe.
After booting, I noticed some apps were missing.
So I opened up Titanium Backup and selected 'Restore missing apps with data'.
Titanium Backup got stuck at restoring Viber (one of the missing apps) for 8 hours.
When I woke up and saw that the restore wasn't done after 8 hours, I force stopped Titanium Backup and tried installing the missing apps from Play Store.
>
On opening in Play Store, I get the message that these apps are not compatible with my phone. But I know that they are, as I'd installed them before.
I've just talked about Viber, but other apps like Runtastic, Runkeeper and Justdial are also giving me the same error.
>
I opened up Application Settings/ Installed Apps, and there I found these weird installs 'com.voip.viber' and such. Opening these installs didn't work, and even their icon images were missing. Some even had 0 bytes size, while some still have their original size.
So I uninstalled those nonfunctional app artifacts, thinking that this would solve my problem.
It didn't.
I still can't install the apps from market. Or from 3rd party apks. Viber troubleshooting provides an apk for people who can't install from market. Even that didn't work.
>
In case someone suggests that I reflash the sbf, I'd like to say that I've also done two full sbf flashes in the whole process.
After the first flashing of sbf and rooting, I installed multiboot 0.8, but I found it had only 3 vsels/freqs and no TLS/TWRP support, so I had to reflash the sbf again, coz I had no working recovery and 2ndboot wasn't working properly on multiboot 0.8.

I'm attaching relevant screenshots in case someone wants to take a look.

Please help me if you figure out a solution.

[Q] Apps screens - folders with Apps icons are emptied on reboot

Hey All,
we got 2 Note 3 (9005) at home - both are rooted with Vega method on stock MJ3 + wanam xposed
I've noticed that in the "Application Panel" (don't know the suitable name in english), when creating a folder to place the apps icons in it (one folder for all the rooted stuff for example), this is fine until next reboot.
Next reboot, is emptying the folders... so all "moved" icons are back with all the other applications. The folders remain but they are empty.
Anyone has this behavior as well ?
Note that this does not occur for Home screens... strangely, desktops folders remain with their shortcuts in them.
wondering if this is coming from MJ3
Cheers

it's because of bad rooting

what do you mean with "bad rooting" ?
Everything went fine when I rooted the device

[Q] "Sorry ! Plug & Pop unfortunately stopped

Just a quick question .... Anyone gotten a "SORRY! unfortunately Plug & Pop has stopped" error ??
I am only rooted (just over 24 hours new device) and have uninstalled (not deleted) some bloatware w/ TiBU .... It's the 'ethernet' setting .... MTP setting works .... just weird it started happening ... WTF ?!
NO, haven't installed XPOSED, etc ....

Happened to me when I installed a nav bar hiding app. I think it may have also happened when I started using nova launcher as well, but I can't remember.
Just ran across this as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549002. I know you said you haven't installed xposed, but it may be worth a look since it's for people with the same issue you're experiencing.

Did you hide navigation bar? This error goes from LG tool, which display animation and action choices after you plug USB cable or accessories.
If you don't want to install Xposed framework and my mod from above post, then you better use Titanium Backup and freeze this app.

I only get that if plug in an earphone jack and tap edit from the menu that comes. The short cuts work fine though.
I did install a kitkat launcher (without rooting).
I have since removed that launcher, but i still get the plug and pop message when I tap the edit button.
Any ideas?

question regarding freezing apps

can you freeze all the streaming apps (netflix e.t.c) or delete them via root? i don't need them and all they do is take up space with the limited memory it has already.

I don't believe you even need root for this, you can just go to the Android settings->apps menu, find each app you don't want and press disable.
This was one of the first things I did when I switched on my shield as I will never use Plex and cluttered menu entries annoy me!

dont delete most system/bloatware
Hi, I have the NSTV for almost a month & I crashed it the first day when I gain root, flashed TWRP, ect....so how did it crash?
Well after succesfully restarting the system & setting it up again! I started to delete the bloatware & I deleted most of the apps that I didn't want..until I installed my favorite keyboard app which takes less space & the first thing I did was delete the leanback keyboard......My NSTV was NOT happy as soon as I did that....intents of dialog messages flooded the screen & crashed it
so the next thing I did was boot into bootlooder & flash a recovery.zip with all the images..except stock recovery...I kept TWRP...after that I set my system back up installed link2sd again to delete the other bloatware, but this time I disabled leanback keyboard in favor of the other app....can you guess what happen next?
YES....it crashed again....so I decided to delete all the bloatware that I didn't want & kept leanback keyboard.
Now I decided to use a bluetooth keyboard from now on...but I wish the leanback keyboard will stop popping up even though im using an external keyboard...

that is highly annoying, so even though you have a 3rd party keyboard app installed the leanback keyboard popes up aswell? i use swift keyboard and usb keyborad additionally.

You can freeze the system apps such as all the bloatware you don't want without root, but to get rid of the apps permanentally you WILL need root...also my system stop crashing after installing some xposed modules that deal with input type....but anyway as long as you don't touch any actual system related apps you will be okay.

Google Widget Customisation Disappeared

Hello,
A few weeks ago I got the option to customize my Google widget but after uninstalling all updates and reinstall them the option disappeared and un/re-installing does not help at all.
How can I get the customize option back?
(Using TW Launcher (worked before uninstalling updates))
Thanks for reading/helping

Yeah I have the same problem. After unsintalling the beta and going back to system version and re installing the beta it was gone. Nothing helps to get it back .....

Reinstall 7.14.15 beta.
I had to clear my Google data one day, lost the ability to customize. Figured to revert to base version, reinstalled the beta, and quickly went into the SIDE menu to "Customize Widget".
Note I said the SIDE menu; the newest versions does not have that any more, and Google forgot to add the relevant option. Just like nicknaming your cards on Google Wallet, HINT, HINT...
Updated back to 7.22.22.21, and the customization has stuck.
DO NOT:
1. REVERT to default.
2. CLEAR app data.
