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

i have no idea what happened or why but the market now is offically broken for me.
it thinks my 32gb iconia that i got from amazon is from another country and its not.
i installed a COM_GEN1 stock rom, not an EMEA or what ever rom.
i am listed as USA in all settings.
nothing on the market will install as it keeps saying my tab is from another country.
everything was working fine... what the **** is going on.. holy crap i cant tell you how frustrating this is and i will file a complaint with amazon and my local BBB if this stupid company is selling iconia 32gb tabs as usa models when they are not.
someone help please i have searched everywhere and cant find an answer
i did look around on the google support sites and there are alot of people reporting this in the last 2 months and some from the Acer transformer and only 1 guy said he switched google accounts and it went away.
i have tried multiple accounts and even made sure my info on that account was set up for USA.
i live in iowa for pete's sake... it was working damn it.
It's not about the hardware (although you can check the box and you'll see which country it's listed). This is a bug. I also had the same problem and it's up to Google to fix it.
My market results were in everything but English and nothing helped. You'll just have to live with it. The problem disappeared however after a few weeks.
Keep in mind that I flashed a US rom on my tablet (I'm from Europe and the tablet came with German rom) and some descriptions were still in Russian which is nowhere near me.
thank you sir!
and i wont just live with it because nothing installs or updates and i cant even search for anything.
and now because i flashed back to stock i dont even have the ability to root or install recovery.
i am trying to find a link to iconia root and acer recovery installer that i can email my self and download via the tablet so i can atleast read the **** on my sd card.
since there was no file explorer in the stock rom i flashed.
If you need the apk's, Why don't you look in the Iconia Root and Acer Recovery Installer threads, then?
Or better yet, get one of the 3.1 OTA ROMS listed in the dev section, they don't require root or CWM, and install one of those? That should restore your market function.
i got iconia root. i had saved a copy on my PC but the acer recovery program is a market program, not something that is available via threads here
floatingfatman - how will a 3.1 rom fix an issue that is unfixable by hardware or firmware...
please be sure to read my post so you know that i already did that.
this isnt isnt just me there are a good number of posts about it on the google market support threads.... just no fix.
google did respond to my support ticket and tried telling me i have some filter applied on my Iconia market App that is stopping the installs and search results.
my reply was "WRONG" how does a filter make the market think i am not in the USA....
i told the guy to please read my email and my issue before just given me a blanket response that has nothing to do with my issue.
@OP: My problem was fixed after a few weeks. I don't know how much exactly but the thing that messed up my device was that I used a wifi spot in another country while I was on vacation. I didn't even have the list of the apps that were already installed on my device.
It's a serious bug and I even opened a post about it but all my search indicated that it will go away or I'll have to live with it. It sucks I agree but we can't fix it since it something to do with google market.
Some people also reported that disabling the location settings (the settings that determines your location via wifi or GPS you'll find it) and wiping Market cache afterwards would fix it but that didn't work for me.
ok finally got recovery installer downloaded and installed and doing a back up now, then will restore my last backup which had everything in it that i currently was trying to download.
thanks for the help guys.
but unfortunately this still doesnt fix the market issue i am having so we will see what happens.
@bpivk - yeah i did all that and nothing happened. even a complete format and flashing of a stock unrooted rom didnt help.
its all on google, its nothign to do with me, acer or anything.
i think it started when they started rolling out the new market to all the phones.
this issue started for me before my Samsung PHONE got the new market but anyways. just something i realized.
Try this:
Settings-Applications
Google Service Framework - Force Stop and clear data
Market - Force stop and clear cache
Reboot and give it a shot.
Noob alert. First post, first rom.
Thought it about time I had a go at hacking my Hero and thought I’d better start with a rom that seemed stable. I chose the ArmSense_XE_0.6.130 Android2.3.5+sense3.5 on this forum.
Root and install of the custom recovery was painless.
Flashed this rom and all seemed well. The first thing I thought I’d try was maps, as I want to check gps functionality, but no maps app to be found. I then remember reading in this forum that custom roms rarely contain the Google apps. I found, downloaded and flashed the 20110828 version of gapps (in the same way as I flashed the initial rom, but without doing a wipe first, I hope this is right).
Still no maps. I know they can be downloaded from the market (play), but the market app seems to fail. When I select it the screen goes white for a few seconds and then returns without displaying any error. Not wanting to give up I visited play via the browser, but this would not let me download directly to the phone either, as it reported that I must use the phone app to visit the site first.
I’ve obviously visited the market many times before on this phone, and am sure I set my Google account up properly during the setup. (though googlemail has changed to gmail during the time between I originally setup the phone and now).
The upshot of all this is that I have these questions:
Generally have I done the right things?
Should I have the maps and come to that gmail, which I now notice is also missing?
Any ideas on the problem with the market app?
And lastly, I was sort of expecting the same clock as shown on the op of the ArmSense_XE development thread be the default, but this is not the case. I quite like it. What is it and where does it come from?
Restored to my original stock 2.1 configuration for now.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The ROM you choose is far from being stable, that's why it's marked with the version ArmSense_XE_0.6.130.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343988
I'm using the SHPONGLE v3.5 and I'm quite satisfied.
M
Thank you for the advice. Downloading it now.
I have the right gapps package I guess and will need to add it to this rom too?
Cheers
Hi,
The ROM already have gapps light, meaning that you can register your account and access Google Play.
Then you can download the apps you need like Maps, Youtube, Gmail, whatsoever...
M
Got it working now.
Apart from a little niggle with the lock screen (probably me being unfamiliar) it all seems very fast and smooth.
Thank you for your advice.
SHPONGLE v3.5 is by far the fastest 2.3.7 on Hero in my (very fresh) experience.
Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Thanks
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?

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?
Hello guys! I tried to root my phone and I followed all the steps on this website on my Galaxy s7 edge. I have SuperSU on my phone but I cannot download any other apps from the play store. What is going on? Access cloud does not work either, almost every app has been stopped somehow. I need help quickly and please (I'm begging) be specific on the steps. I need my phone like all of us.
Thank you guys.
The more specific you can be, the faster and more helpful the help you'll get. Things like where SPECIFICALLY on this website did you follow the steps from? At what point in the root process did you get to and at what point did things go wrong. What kinds of errors are you getting and what have you done to try to fix things thusfar?
Based on symptoms it sounds like you didn't follow all the post-rooting steps (specifically disabling security policy updates) and your phone will soon bootloop. Wipe, read the post-root fixes thread, try again.
