it didnt work, the app still crashed to point of being unusable

Are you getting a force close error or is it just abruptly closing to the home screen without any errors?

The app just closes to the home screen everytime i open it and even when i dont open the app i get a notification on screen that the app has crashed, this happens so frequently that my phone is becoming near unusable. the app is completely unuseable. is their any way to fix this short of a factory reset or flashing a new rom?

You already tried to wipe its data, so I think the next step could be to reflash the ROM you are using.

I don't actually get the problem here... But if you want to clear app data then go to settings - applications and open the list of your installed apps and choose the app you want and there is a button to clear app data/cache if there is any. If you want to get rid of general update notifications just uncheck the box from market settings.
Still why won't you just update them?
Boot to recovery and wipe cache and davlik cache.

It's kinda difficult to wipe all app data without wiping the apps themselves. If you do factory reset, you will wipe all of your apps.
If I were you, I would go for flash FULL-WIPE.zip + flash full ROM + manually installing all apps again.

Help required, unable to uninstall apps or download from play store

Could this be caused by changing the transitions. Setting. In developer options because when I try to change it back to default.settings crashes
Please help
Please provide more information on what rom you're using,what os version you are on, and under what conditions it is crashing.
With the information you have provided:
Try going to settings>apps>play store
Then delete data and cache.
Now try opening the play store.
Cheers!

ICS official German. Rom
Chrome beta is also not working.
Can't clear cache as that is not showing.
Also some apps when I click on them they say app isn't installed
if the apps are not downloading then go into manage apps>all apps and clear all the data of all apps who have google in their name and also clear the data of play store

I've just read that even wiping cache can cause superbrick under ics, so safest method would be to install Speedmod kernel, then wipe cache and dalvik.
You won't lose anything but it may take longer to reboot as it rebuilds the cache, this is normal.

I had a problem downloading apps over 3g..
Error message after every attempt. The answer was to create a new apn in the access point names menu for some reason the over the air provisioning created a wap apn instead of a regular internet one.....if that helps anyone.

Sorry then, I'm unsure how to help. One thing I've read is that someone's exchange account settings were causing conflict, and installing a third party email app somehow corrected Google play sync. Don't know if that fits.

Hi I had a similar problem with using Google play store a couple of days ago.
Got error message [DF-BPA-09] everytime I tried to download, purchase or uninstall apps. Its a know issue at Google.
Try this:
Go to settings-applications-all.
Then scroll down to Google Services Framework and clear data.
Re boot phone.
Hope this helps.
John.

Android is upgrading message everytime I reboot phone.

This wasn't happening yesterday. Every morning I reboot my phone when j remove from the Wireless charger to prevent the wireless charger wakelock.
This morning however I notice that everytime I reboot I get the Android is upgrading message as if I just performed a OTA.
The phone finishes the upgrade and looks and acts fine bit if I reboot again it does it again.
Anyone else experience this before? Its still happening if I reboot everytime.

Clear cache and maybe load a new kernel maybe?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
if you didnt do it yourself, then its either an app, a mod, or the rom/kernel that youre running. whats happening is that your dalvik-cache is getting wiped then rebuilt on boot.
I'm on stock 4.2.2 rooted and running motley kernel. Have been running this setup for a month no and no issues and haven't installed any weird apps that could do this.
Doesn't make sense

I think it happens when you wipe davlik with apps disabled.
if it only pops up for a second or so, don't worry about it.
It was the beats audio root app (paid version) I noticed it would consistently say permission granted even when the phone was idle.
Uninstalled the drivers using the inapp uninstaller and now no more message when rebooting.
Anyone know why this app clears dalvik cache every reboot?

i use the beats+xlouder flashable mod, and it clears dalvik upon flashing. its nonsense that the app clears dalvik after a reboot, i definitely wouldnt be happy with it.

This started in 4.0, its just part of system startup to check system integrity I believe

So how do you find out which application is the one that's wiping the cache?

its probably one that needs root. it could be a flashed mod too.

Thank you for sharing what was the problem.
I have found fix for this error, it is mainly due to odex files which are created by lucky patcher so deleting these files using lucky patcher itself will surely remove this error with 50 percent success rate. Here's the fix; open lucky patcher, there in lower left section you can see Toolbox, click Toolbox button then select 4th last option i.e Remove all odex files. Thats it android will reboot on itself and vola no android is upgrading. .
Check out attachement for help.

[Q][HELP] Cannot start after switching to ART (stock ROM)

I have stock ROM, not unlocked, not rooted.
Have just OTA updated to Android 4.4. It was successful.
After that I tried to switch runtime to ART. The first reboot was successful. But runtime is still Dalvik. So I tried to switch to ART again.
Now it cannot bootup. It stucked with the four-color-circle.
I tried fastboot mode. But still cannot start.
Is it totally bricked? What can I do next? I think I haven't enabled USB debugging...
You can get into the stock recovery and try clearing cache or if that fails then try factory reset.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Factory reset will wipe all your data, wipe cache will clear the apps cache so hopefully it will it fix it. Instruction to get into recovery here.

I go to the recovery mode, it says "No command".
With stock recovery once you see the android with the red exclamation you need to press power and volume up at the same time to see the commands. It's a little tricky and it might take a few tries but it does work

System IUD's Inconsistent

Hello guys,
I have a Nexus 7 2013 which I've used to play around alot and it was my very first decent Android device.
Since I loved it so much, I traded my Windows Phone for an Android Phone and the choice was a 16GB Sim free Nexus 4.
Now I have been having a problem after flashing new custom Roms, and the problem is, after every boot I get greeted with a "System IUD's Inconsistent" error message and a bunch of app force close which leaves the device unusable until I restore everything back.
It only goes away after I boot into TWRP and click "Fix permissions" but as soon as I load another Rom up, the problem appears again until I do the TWRP thing again. Now, I know this isn't normal because it doesn't happen on my Nexus 7 so I guess there is a way to properly fix this issue. I've tried reflashing TWRP but the problem always comes up again.
Any advice?
Thanks
When you flash a rom do you do a clean install? I.e. wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik

Usually just do a factory reset. Do you think that might be the problem?

Yes, you need to wipe data or you'll run into a lot of force closures
