[Q] Games Stop Working - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello guys,
I have been having this problem for a while now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 4.2.2 and when run games/apps ie. The Simpsons Tapped Out or Need For Speed, it loads sometimes and sometimes I get an error that says "The Simpsons Tapped Out Has Stopped Working" or "Need For Speed" has stopped working.
I cannot seem to figure out the solution to this problem. I have used Clean Master to "boost" my memory and clean my cache. I have also done a factory rest on my phone but it did not solve the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Please clarify your software version as 4.2.2 jellybean or did you mean 4.4.2 kitkat. In 4.4.2 google decided to limit access to the external sdcard which might be the reason those games are force closing.

[Q] Kies 4.3 update crashing phone

Hey so I finally decided to update my phone to 4.3, I hooked it up with my computer and updated it through the Samsung Kies wizard. The phone was rooted. For some reason the update completely messed up my phone.
-- Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505--
I am constantly getting a:
The process com.google.process.gapps is no responding.
As a push notification I am getting (coming from Samsung Knox):
An application tried to run system on your device without authorisation. The attempt has been blocked.
(I literally translated this from my local language to English so it might be different)
I have tried disabling and re-enabling downloadmanager, removed cache from google calendar, google chrome, good play, google play services, gmail aswell as disabling all those notifications.
I am also geting a system is not responding error message now and then, same thing for 'picasa uploader" and some other system apps.
I have also removed triangle away and some other apps that were getting the crash report.
Has anyone ever faced this issue?
I really don't want to have to reset my phone, I can't believe an official update through Kies can bring so much trouble...
I can't even back any of my apps up since the phone is constantly crashing...
Thank you in advance!
This is on Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505

[Q] Error 912/ Cant download big apps/games from Play Store

Yeah so basically everytime I try to download an app or game that needs to download additional data (Like Asphalt 8, or Ivona Amy or Fast and Furious 6) the entire download will complete, it will finish downloading till 100% even the additional data, and then it will suddenly just get an error saying 921 could not complete download. I have tried various different fixes to no avail. This happend all the way since stock 4.2. Flashed factory 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.4.2 and the problem still occurs. On 4.3 it had become fixed for a while but again on 4.4.1/4.4.2 stock or custom roms, the same problem happens. I clean wipe the device and everything, even used different play store accounts and made a new play store account but the error still happens.
Thanks in advanced for any help, im really stumped and there is literally no one on the internet with this problem lol.

[Q] Galaxy S4 Google + other Issues - memory wipe doesn't help

Hello!
Please help, this is driving me insane.I've had a galaxy S4 for almost a year now. I had it rooted and ****ed around with it a bit, it was all good. Then I was running low on space and got a disk checker or whatever it's called to show me how my space was being used. A lot of it was in caches. I downloaded a file manager and went on a cache deleting spree. One of the caches I deleted was google. Ever since that day everytime I start my phone:
Samsung Link has stopped
Dropbox has stopped
Google + has stopped
Google search has stopped
The phone in general just worked extremely ****ty.So I decided today that it was time for a factory reset. I run it, all good. The phone restarts in factory settings.. and I get the exact same error messages. ?So I decided that I would do the hard reset. Shut it off, volume up + home + power, wipe/delete all data. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHAT?How is that possible? I wipe my phone completely and end up with the same problems? How do I reinstall the OS? Since I'm going to be uninstalling the OS completely (probably the only solution to my problems), is there anyway to get a nice clean OS? And not the one full of bloatware from my carrier? I really just want to start over from a fresh OS.
I also tried just running a software update, but I got the error message 'this phone has been modified and cannot be updated'. I guess that's because it's rooted..
Thank you for your help

UIDs on S4

Hi Guys!!!
So I have a Samsung S4 (from T-mobile) and I was flashing custom roms, trying to figure out which one I like the best when suddenly, during one of the roms I was testing, google play stopped working. Everytime I opened it it would crash, so I thought, maybe it's just this rom. Turns out it wasn't.
I tried a couple more roms and the problem got even more... problematic. I tried going through the settings and clearing the cache but now even the settings would stop working and eventually every google app like google play services and google play would stop working the moment I turn on the phone. At this point I decided to flash the stock rom with Odin and for a while it was giving me problems because it was write protected. I eventually got it to flash but not only did it NOT solve these errors, but it also gave me a new one. It says:
"System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe data partition or your device will be unstable."
After going through that, the endless errors pop up and the background of the phone is black.
Any help guys? Thanks in advance!!!
Did you actually wipe before flashing the stock ROM?
Yes I did. I solved the UIDs problem and the only problem that's left is that almost all apps that are associated with google doesn't wor like google play, google services, ect.
Tell me your steps to flashing stock with Odin.
