[Q] Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a root user, Titanium Backup installed and that's the second time i flash Android 5.0 and after a while i got this error. Tried factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik and didn't worked out.
Tried entering in Safe Mode and the error is persistent.
Is there something i can do?
I'm using GalaxyS4 Settings for Froyo~JB (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ion.setting) and with it i'm able to got into some of my settings, but the stock app doesn't work by itself.
Is there some way of flashing the stock Settings app again?

Another weird thing is that my SPen does not take screenshots anymore and that only happens with Android L (5.0).

[Q] Verizon Tab won't perform factory reset

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I woke up today and it was missing some programs that I had installed the night before. Launcher pro keeps crashing so I had to put the Samsung Launcher back on. Now random programs all keep crashing and locking up the device. I performed a factory reset through settings -> privacy -> perform factory reset.
It restarts and goes to the samsung bootloader and I performed wipedata/factory reset.. It says it does it but when it restarts its in the same condition as before.
I've booted directly to the bootloader and tried it too (volume up and power key). I've also tried to wipe cache with no luck..
Any ideas? Can I root it and put a custom rom on it? I saw that there really aren't any roms for the Verizon tabs.. Any reason why?
Thanks for any help..
I just did a restore with all the stock verizon firmware using heimdall and it flashed and everything went through properly..
I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and restarted...
SAME THING! It will NOT wipe out my existing data.. It restarts with all of my old programs installed and NOTHING will work.. The OS is hosed. How can I wipe this thing back to factory??

Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue and don't have ODIN setup for it.
Same Issue
Same Issue
I changed my passwords on Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped bringing up my information.
Need help!
Same to me...

Could anyone solve this issue?

I'm in the same boat..half my apps crash when you try to open them. I've wiped the data partition 3 times, and the cache as well..not avail. Apps are still on the device after a master reset!

I had that problem, and I wound up sending it back to Samsung. It appeared to be a bad part on the board, so they replaced it and it's on its way back now. Not the answer you want, I'm sure, but call it in and get your RMA number.

On your new Tab can you perform a hard reset and have it actually work?
my sprint Tab seems to be in the same boat

[Q] "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working" after factory reset

Hello folks,
The SGH-i337 is my first android device and I've had it only for a few days now. I rooted the phone using the "1 click root and debloat" files in the development section of this forum. Everything worked great after that. Today I installed an unofficial apk on my phone but I wasn't comfortable with it at all. So I did a factory reset (are you not supposed to do that?)
After the factory reset, the phone boots up and gives me the usual settings menu. At the end of the settings however, it lags for a few seconds before it says "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working". This brings me back to the "choose a device name" menu in settings. If I fill it out again and go through settings, it crashes again. I can't get into anything else on the phone since it keeps going through the initial setup.
I've tried booting into recovery mode and deleting the cache. I doubt that this clears it since the phone gives me an error and reboots. I tried selecting factory reset through the recovery mode but that also gave me the same issue (said error and rebooted).
After some searching I've found that flashing a stock rom with odin might be the best way to go. Is that correct or is there a better way? On the odin download page, it only lists the 9505 version for Galaxy S4. Could I use that for my SGH-i337?
I think the phone is still rooted because it says Samsung Custom before booting up. Thanks for the help!
Had same exact issue as well.
I booted in to download mode and flashed it with factory rom, then installed CWM.

Oh man, you're a life saver. I'm downloading the file and I'll give it a shot. So just to confirm, I put the phone into download mode and run Run_Me.bat and that should fix the issue?
Also for future reference, are you not supposed to do a factory reset after rooting your phone? Thanks!
Fixed it
The issue arose because the settings program was supposed to follow up with at&t locker setup. But since I had deleted the at&t files with the debloat tool, it kept crashing. So the solution was to reset the phone to stock firmware. I used Odin 3.07 to flash the factory ROM onto the phone and now everything is back to normal.
I guess this also answers my previous question, if I'd probably have the same problem again if I do a factory reset.

Just dont use all in one tool as you did before. Just use the chooper rooting process in the link I provided.
Then manually remove the apps you dont with titanium backup.

Galaxy s4 Framework problem

Hello,
A few hours ago, the 3 minitframework app had a message that said that my framework was out of date, so I downloaded the 3.2 version (wich is the app version), flashed it and my phone started to reboot itself over and over again. I tried reseting setting, wiping chache and dalvyk cache and also flashing back the old framework but nothing seems to work. I also tried rebboting into safe mode but when my phone is in the main screen, it reboots itself again and again.
Please help me with this issue cause I dont now what to do.

[Q] Gapps loop

Every single time I try to restore a backup I always wipe data, cache and dalvik and then I restore the backup made with clockwormod in the clockworkmod recovery. But I always get the next message: ''Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped'' which is very frustrating because I have to press ok everytime it appears and every time I close it, it opens again; so I can't use my phone. Also, Google Play, Dropbox, Googe partner setup and I get those messages too. I've searched for help on many sites and they keep telling me to go to apps manager and stop download manager, google play services, google framework, etc. And I managed to go to settings and do it in the only second I have between closing the message and it opening itself again. But it didn't work. Also I wiped cache and dalvik after restoring but still get the loop. The only thing I can do to stop the loop is wiping data but I don't want to lose my data (that's why I made the backup that doesn't work now). I also tried advanced restore and restored everything but data, I didn't get either the loop or the data. And when I restored only data in advanced restore I got the loop. Also I tried flashing the gapps for Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat from recovery but still got the loop. Maybe it happens because I had uninstalled most of the google apps that came as system apps using ROM ToolBox pro?

[Q] GT-I9505 trouble wiping and date/time

Hello,
I'm trying to fix a problem for a few days now, but without any luck.
I flashed CM11 using CWM 6.0.4.7, which is the latest.
But for some reason there is a problem with the date & time. My whatsapp keeps telling me my date was wrong, while it was actually set right. Didn't matter if i changed it and changed it back, or put it on automatic. It keeps resetting at boot but for some reason it shows the right date.
So i tried flashing another rom and i have the same problem.
But then i found out i did a full wipe and to be sure i formatted System and Data (also cache and dalvik), but when i did a clean install after the wiping, i still could restore a whatsapp backup and i see all my photos which are located on my internal storage. (/storage/emulated/o).
I think the wiping isn't done right or something.
Does anybody know what i should do?
I just want to wipe everything possible, except for CWM and then do a clean install.
