[Q] I9505G issues with security settings - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, thanks for looking at this.
I have had an issue with my I9505G since I've started messing around with it. Ever since I failed to flash a CM Rom onto it, the phone has had weird bugs.
Chief among these, and why I'm submitting this help request, is that when I goto security in settings, settings crashes.
This carried over from the last rom I was using, so it's an issue with the stuff that isn't in data, cache, or dalvik.
I also can't uninstall any apps.
If anyone knows what is wrong, and how to fix it, it would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Many Apps Saying "Incompatible With Your Device"

Is anyone else having the problem mentioned here after flashing CM7?
one of the main apps i use is the BB&T mobile banking app, but now its no longer compatible with my droid 2.
I have cleared caches, reinstalled CM7 changed market apps, done everything i thought possible and cant download it for some reason.
any help would be awesome if anyone knows anything about this issue.
I have read on other threads about this being a common issue with CM7, which if it is, i may have to revert back to stock 2.3 until its resolved.

DL, install it, hit fix, allow superuser permission, may have to run again if it failed. It will tell you to reboot if it's successful. Hit reboot, find apps, win!

[Q] CM 10.1 ROM Gmail problems

I've recently installed CM 10.1 nightly build, the most recent, on my Nexus 4. I am experiencing only problems with gmail, when I attempt to open the application, it loads then crashes every time. It is becoming very disturbing and making me not want to use this ROM. If anyone else is experiencing this issue can you tell me below to get this thread popular so someone might find a fix? And if you've fixed it, can you let me know how?
Thanks, Eric.
EDIT: I'm also realizing that almost all of my GAPPS are not functioning whatsoever. I did a restore of my apps and system and shared to get all my apps back, but now half of them are incomplete for some reason (no icon and non functioning) and the rest work fine though.

If this is your first flash of CM 10.1, you also needed to flash the 11/30 gapps that they point you to in their OP
lol dude another "i flashed xyz rom and now everything is broken" thread
Hey everyone learns one way or another here at q&a. Heck, I'm still asking questions myself
If you backed up everything in Stock, then it will be tricky when you try to restore in Cyanogenmod. You can restore downloaded apps and data safely. But you may start running into problems when you begin to restore system apps, system data, and system settings.

Play store won't download apps

So I was running Liquid 2.9, everything was fine no issues. Got the flash bug and flashed SlimRoms build 8. Full wiped and followed the ROMs installation guide. Everything went fine. Started to download apps from the play store and after one download, all the installs freeze. So thinking it was a bad flash possibly, I re-downloaded the rom, full wipe and flashed. Problem still persists. Went back to Liquid 2.9 where there weren't issues before. Same issue downloading apps. I've cleared cache and dalvik cache. Cleared data and cache from the app store and download manager and problem still persists. Any advice or help would be much appreciated, thanks guys and girls!
Edit: I am conneted to wifi, internet is working as I can browse, sync contacts, etc..

There's a couple of threads about people having trouble with the play store. Maybe your issue is similar. It might be worth checking out just in case.

I appreciate your service in policing the forums. I searched, all the threads I've seen have ended in the OP still looking for help and more specifically not much insight in the s4 recently. Tried most of what everyone in the other threads have said to no avail soo, I came here to ask for any additional help. Thank you for your advice, I will look harder.
Are you signed into hangouts or gtalk--think this is needed
Did you wipe System as part of your full wipe--I wipe all 3X
My last step is to format sd and start over--or if you have an sdcard backup of internal. Can you replace Android with your backup--not sure if any of this sdcard stuff will help though
Reflash gapps--don't know if I ever did that on a non--cm rom

There have been no real solutions other than to download hideman vpn app and have it connect then I haven't had an issue with any app downloading. I believe this is a play store issue. Not a phone issue.

Sorry man, but there's like six of these threads going on at the same time. It's hard to keep track of all of them. And you're right, there is no definitive answer other than it appears it's an issue on Google's end.
Some other ideas here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089470
Or, try an older version of Play Store
Did notice another thread too--may be the Store. But, no harm trying other things--

Works great thank you for the work. Also wondering about the advanced calling feature, but thanks for everything so far.
Advanced/Video calling
I'm having issues with advanced calling on this ROM as well. I was not able to get it working on BOD5, so perhaps it is the same issue. Any new input?
Great, but no Side load apps
You can side load apps on the original BOE build, but after installing the MODS_V2, you can side load anything. It does not allow you to click on the install button, bottom right hand of the screen
---------------
Edit:
This Version of the BOE build does not allow you to side load apps

Restarting with alarm.
I'm also having issues with the phone restarting at times when my alarm is alarming. I noticed this same issue on your BOC4 build, but didn't mention it because I updated to your BOD5 build. I didn't have this issue on the BOD5 build. I believe the issue is related to themes. I used your themes on BOC4 and BOE1, but not on BOD5, which may be the reason why I never experienced the concern in BOD5. I'm using Alarm Clock Plus, if that is helpful at all. I'm going to dirty flash the BOE1 ROM without themes and see if that fixes the concern. I'd love to use your themes if possible, but it isn't a deal-breaker.
Dirty flashing the ROM without theming appears to have solved the issue.

Does anyone else have any issues with app updates not staying updated? After I update my apps and reset the phone, it takes forever to reboot, and it optimizes the same number of apps. When the phone finally boots back up, it tells me that those same apps need to be updated. I had this issue in the past, maybe on OC4, but I never found the cause. I am not themed anymore, so it isn't related to my theme issues.
Deleting the apps and reinstalling them does not fix the issue. I did backup the apps with TiBu, delete them, reinstall them from the play store, then restore data only. I'll give it a shot without restoring any data this time.
Deleting the apps and reinstalling them without restoring data did not work either. Also, I updated the play store using Aptoide, and that update sticks, but it did not fix the problem. The other apps appear to stick when updating with Aptoide, but it still shows them as needing to be updated in the play store.

I had the same issue. After trying everything, I whiped and re-flashed the rom and everything has been working great since.
volume warning
Any chance of getting a volume warning mod, hate those.
straight talk
call straight talk and have them reset your data access, I've had to do this almost every flash of a rom but once you get your rom good, make sure the network mode is in lte/cdma not global. I've had good data for a while now with the kinks worked out, but you have to call straight talk to reset.
Fingerprint lock screen
nice rom, thou it looks like fingerprint lockscreen is broken. It just sticks to "swipe" to unlock when you set it to use fingerprint unlock.
Try flashing muniz_ri's g900v ROM first to get advanced calling working. That contains an actual image of the system partition, so you might have more luck.
Updates not sticking semi-fix.

I figured out what causes the symptoms, but I'm not sure what causes the actual issue. I wiped the "system only," and re-flashed the ROM, but that didn't fix it. After doing some reading on other devices, I looked in the /data/app folder and found multiple apps had multiple data folders. The only apps with multiple folders were the ones that would not keep the updates after restart. There was a separate folder for every time I attempted to update the app, some as high as 15 folders. That explained why my storage space plummeted recently lol. I deleted all the duplicate folders and kept only the most recent folders, then the updates stuck after reboot! I had another occasion where the same occurrence happened, but I knew how to fix it at that point. I didn't like the thought of it possibly continuing to do this, so I backed everything up, did a factory reset today, and restored all my apps and data. I had a few updates afterwards, all of them are sticking after reboot, and I don't have any duplicate folders.
Bottom line: The issue lies in the user data partition, not in the system. Re-flashing or wiping the system will NOT fix this.
I don't know the actual cause of the duplicate folders being created in the first place. Other threads for other devices have mentioned similar issues and some have stated that odex files in the /data/app folder cause the issue. Maybe jrkruse can explain, because I'm baffled.
Hello, I updated to latest 5 android and now my lte doesn't work, I'm in russia now, but it worked on 4.4 , so , can I use this firmware to Odin my s5 verizone ?
Can xposed work with this and if so what are the install steps?
Quick Connect option
I have been looking for the Quick Connect option. How can I add it back? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Love the ROM by the way. Thanks for the great work.
Can I update from origin BOE1 ? I installed boe1 using Odin, and now is it posible to flash this via Odin?

location service apps crash

Hi there forum
I've recently been having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S5 (M900 series) mobile device regarding Location Service Apps (i.e. "Easy Taxi" & "Uber" apps).
I was using the Easy Taxi app for some time now with no issues since downloading it a while back and had also been using the Uber app just recently, but out of the out nowhere it they both no longer work. Upon starting up either app they both instantly close with the msg, "Unfortunately, <app name> has stopped."
I've looked a little bit online and some sites have stated that turning off "Android System Webview" might fix the issue. It did not.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Try clearing the caches in recovery, and from the faulting apps themselves
Just tried doing that and nothing. Easy taxi closes immediately, where as Uber allows me to log my login info again. Once I do that though it too closes immediately.

Same issue here - S5 BOB7 900F running Abasadii V4.2 Knox 0, with root
Dear XDA Community and fenixvive,
I have the same issue sinxe a couple of days. Just as you have reported, some apps just simply crash on start, some only when trying to access the locations.
I suspect that there was a security update sometime ago, as after having factory reset my phone, giving in failing to identify the culprit, once I have updated every, I keep getting the notification, that this or that would like to access my location, and if I let it- as far as I can remember, this was not there before, but please prove me wrong.
I have not updated my system firmware, nor received any OTA updates, just had let my Google and Samsung apps to be up-to-date.
Big mistake.
I have also contacted the Samsung app support, but I got an answer pointing towards a firmware update. Let me copy what they have answered :
Dear Customer
Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Please note that you contacted Samsung Content and Services. Here we can assist you if you encounter any issues related to Samsung Account, Samsung GALAXY Apps, Find My Mobile, etc.
For your situation regarding any system update issues, please contact our colleagues from Samsung Electronics.
We are definitely not alone. The Endomondo forum and Android central has also reports of this bug ...
I will try to restore some system apps to old versions from my Titanium Backup, hoping I will find the fix.. I will surely let you know, if I figured something out.
Until then:
Keep Calm and peace!
Thanks for the update Razor. From what I've read online, most of the other forums or sites are just recommending the easiest answer, which is trail and error. I took screenshots of the running and open apps running at the time.
(It's listed in the system report it sends along when you send an error report).
Since I'm not really an expert at debugging I'm gonna try it the brutish way and disable each app one at a time and troubleshoot it that way for now. It's a tad long list so I'll do it when I have the time.
I really do hope someone has a much better solution though.

A fix was found: updating to BOE6 with newest modem and bootloader
Dear fenixvive,
Thanks for the kind words, it seems that we have gone the same directions.
I am not a big debugger either, nor do I know everything about android, but I follow the basic try and error strategy.
I restored some system apps, and neither the old version of Android System Webview, nor the old Google Services Framework helped. However restoring the Google Play services indirectly helped me to find a fix. The old version forceclosed almost all (even the restored) Gapps.. I tried to make sure that everything was running the old versions, but they kept FCing after every restart. Since I messed up with system apps, a simple factory reset was no way to go, I had to reflash a new ROM. This is what solved my problem.
I went with an Odexed BOE7 rom, I chose _ALEXNDR's debloated version, but I suspect going for anything similar would be fine as well.. Just make sure you update the Modem and Bootloader as well, as I did so. Therefore I am not sure if updates to the BL or modem would have been enough on their own.
Regarding the specific versions I used, I just followed the links in _alexndr's third post
This for the bootloader, and this for the modem.
Flashing the rom with FlashFire was straightforward and also let me keep KNOX 0.
Kudos to all those senior members. They are truly amazing.
Maybe you can try first updating the modem and bootloader with your older rom and check if it is enough to fix your problem.
I hope you can solve your problem soon as well.
Same problem in my S5 G900M
I have the very same problem. I wonder if it only affects the G900M model.
I have read in a Google Play support thread that downgrading Google Play Services to a previous version make the problem go away. However I haven´t been able to reproduce that solution.
For the time being I don´t want to change the ROM, even though Touchwiz is not great, I just became used and don´t want to go through reconfiguring everything, so if anyone comes up with a solution that allow me to keep the ROM, please share.
Regards.
Try to format it
Try to format it. The cache cleaner and so on didn't seem to help much
