Hi,
The problem that I have is that everytime I turn on my S4 "Messages" crashes and afterwards "com.android.phone" keeps crashing.
It started when I was on Google Chrome Beta where I got a few crash notifications (I think it was 2, don't remember). I didn't think much about it then, but when I went to the Play Store to install Chrome, where it said it was already installed. Recently I have removed a lot of the bloatware including Chrome on the S4 and nothing happened by it and I have restarted my phone a few times after that. But in the Play Store when I clicked on the uninstall button it got stuck on uninstalling (most likely because it wasn't installed in the first place) and when I restarted my phone thinking it might solve the problem. The whole problem with "Messages" crashing and afterwards "com.android.phone" crashing again and again, started.
Now I have to keep Flight mode turned on or I can't even use my mobile.
I have tried following solutions:
- Wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache
- Factory Reset
- Reinstalled all the bloatware
- Reinserted SIM card
- Removed sdcard
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 (XXUAMDM) - Root - Stock rom
I hope someone can help me figure out how to fix this.
I found out what the problem was. I didn't reinstall all the bloatware. I only got the first 20 installed instead of them all. So now it works again.
I downloaded and flashed 'cm-11-20140922-NIGHTLY-jflte' (which I know is not as stable as a snapshot but the snapshot was stuck in a reboot loop when I installed it so I had to revert to the nightly) onto my previously stock phone and everything is fine, I can't believe I haven't had a custom rom sooner. However, the ONE app I have problems with is Facebook Messenger; it opens, but crashes when it goes to load my details in and force closes from that point on. It wouldn't be such an issue if I could still interact with people through the Facebook app, but you're forced to use the Messenger app, which seriously will not work at all for some reason.
I've tried reflashing the ROM, clearing the data and cache, cloaking the fact that the device is rooted, installing an earlier version of Messenger and just about everything I could think of. I'm at a complete loss, I don't know what's wrong. I thought maybe something to do with it accessing my contacts or something but I'm really not sure.
Any help will be appreciated, it seems stupid but Messenger is an important part of my phone, I use it daily, so if I can't get this figured out I might have to go back to stock. Thanks in advance guys!
I upgraded my VZW S5 from 4.4 (NK2) to muniz's stock, rooted 5.0 (OA8), with the wifi tether hack. Ever since the upgrade, some apps will randomly crash - I can recall contacts, Pandora, and the March Madness apps all giving me the "Unfortunately, XXXX has stopped" popup.
I wanted to know if anyone else has had these issues, and if this is a known issue w/ OA8. For Pandora and the March madness App, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall. I have also tried to clear data on the apps that have crashed, and have tried to perform a battery pull. Unfortunately, these methods don't seem to resolve the issue.
If anyone else has experienced these issues, and/or has a potential fix for these random crashes, it would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping that i don't have to reflash everything, but it's more important to me that I get my phone working without these random crashes.

I have the same problem. I get random app FC's and the system becomes sluggish after being on for a few days.

I got tired of the random FC's so I reverted back to 4.4.4. I am now running Rick's ROM (NK2).

Did you wipe everything but your SD card before install and do a factory reset after, then flash the OA8 kernel? Also, sometimes, if you go into application settings, force stop, clear data and start again, it will help... this has been an issue with contacts, but the cleared data will clear it up.
When going from NK2 to OA8, don't restore programs, since OA8 ART is so different. Just reinstall the programs and allow Google to restore your data.

Yes - I did a full wipe and did not restore any programs. I also tried the force stop/clear data method that you mentioned but the random FC's kept coming back.
I'm back on 4.4.4 (NK2) and, thus far, no issues w/ the FC's.

muniz just posted the 0C4 update to LP that just rolled out. Maybe it will work better for you?
So I've been running CM 12 for about a month and today I went to update and afterward my phone was unuseable. After the update I started getting the pop-up gmail has stopped so I uninstalled it. After that I couldn't use the play store. It kept asking me to sign in even though I was already signed in. I cleared cache and deleted data in play store and still the same problem. After This I tried reinstalling gapps to see if that was the problem. After reinstalling gapps my phone kept saying unfortunately phone has stopped working. After clicking ok it would come back up immediately, rendering the phone unusable. I couldn't even get to the desktop to try to get into settings. Before the update I backed up my rom so I was like, "Good for me, I saved the day." Nope. After installing my backup same problem. The only way for this problem to stop happening was to reinstall cm12 all together wiping system and data. I tried reinstalling my backup hoping it would work but I get the same problem.
What's going on here? How do I get my old rom back. I need my contacts back. I don't care about anything else as much. It would be nice to get everything but contacts is the main thing.
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.
