I just recently updated my phone, about an hour ago, and now the majority of my apps do not work or will not load. Apps include: youtube, Clash of Clans, DomiNations, Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat, and many more. Too be honest, it seems that all of my apps have just stopped working all together.
Please help me out!
Try clearing the caches from recovery
I know that downloaded apps will be configured to work with the firmware version that is on the phone at the time, so upgrading the firmware will cause 'issues' for your apps. As *Detection* says, wipe the cache but be prepared for that to possibly be not enough.
I have a feeling that a Dalvik wipe may be needed too.....This is something that CAN'T be accomplished in the stock recovery....Even if you are rooted.
If you have root access, you can download an app called toolbox from the playstore.......
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fm.kk
which will allow you to Dalvik wipe without even entering recovery, if you don't have root, the only option is to factory reset and re download every playstore app again (basically starting from scratch again)........

Hello. I have a stock 4.5.91 At&t Atrix, unrooted, and with a locked bootloader. When I booted up today, some applications that are in my Media Area had disappeared. In the Manage Apps section, it lists them in com. form. For example, Tank Hero is named com.clapfootgames.tankhero. When I try to move these apps back to the phone or clear their data, the system says they don't exist. Rebooting doesn't help, and I don't want to factory reset, as I have 90+ downloaded apps.
I'd try clearing the dalvik cache and cache partition. Not sure how to without cwm. Faced the same issue couple of times...

Upon rebooting, the apps were restored, but I know this problem will persist. I'll live with it until I root (which I'm very tempted to do). Thank you for the reply!
A friend of mine just updated her Nexus 4 to 4.3 via OTA. Since the update several background apps kept crashing repeatedly, but she uninstalled them before I could get her to check what the exception message was. After removing the apps everything seems to be working except the Notification Pull Down. Notification Icons correctly display in the Status Bar, but you can't actually open the Notifications. Try as you might it just refuses to open. The phone has been rebooted several times to no avail.
I've searched several threads but haven't found anything even remotely similar to this. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure what App affects notifications to even try clearing data on. I've thought about removing her google account cpmpletely and readding it, but I'm helping her over text, so trying to keep the complicated solutions for when we've tried everything else.
Any suggestions or ideas would be very greatly appreciated!
Has she wiped dalvik cache? I think that not wiping dalvik can cause apps to crash.
Try to reflash the ROM and wipe cache & dalvik, and do a factory reset and optionally wipe /system partition.

The phone is completely stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader, running stock 4.3 OTA.
I'm trying to find GUI solution that doesn't involve installing a custom recovery. Thanks for the idea though.
Doing a factory reset seems like the only logical thing to try, in case you don't want to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery. Beware, you will lose your apps and their data.
You can try to reflash the ROM again, but I don't know what's the procedure with the stock software. If you can just apply update from .zip, than you should be able to do that from the stock recovery. I never had any OTA update so I can't help you further unfortunately.

Hi,
I had been using Temasek's Unofficial CM 11 ROM on my SM-N9005, then I decided to update to lollipop. So I backed up with Titanium Backup Pro, wiped data and dalvik and cache, flashed the AICP ROM, and now I'm trying to restore apps.
Restoring has been difficult in TB - it kept freezing/getting stuck on what seemed like random apps, and then it started to give me "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" messages, which reappear a few seconds after they're dismissed.
I've somehow reached the point where if I install ONE more app (no matter what it is or whether it's restored from TB or downloaded from Play Store), I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", but if I uninstall it I'm fine.
I know that apps should use more space with the ART runtime, but I have ~7GB of free storage so it can't be that. It seems silly, but is there some kind of app limit in lollipop that I'm unaware of?
Thanks in advance!
Actually the most important thing is what method are you using for restore? I mean are you using the only restore missing apps method or something else? Cause if you are using a method other than that then you will have problems.

Did you take a nandroid backup? If so, Restore it after wiping then use TB to make an Apps Update.zip and copy it across to your ExtSDCard. THEN flash the ROM and GApps - i also flash SuperSU.zip at the same time. Then I start the phone and set up basic info. Then Back to Recovery and run the Apps.zip file.
I also use Nova Launcher so once in I restore the backup and Voila! I have almost everything back as I like it.
Another thing to check is the SDCardfix - you might want to download a zip of it and flash it while in Recovery. Once it is done and you are in LP version it seems OK, but I had to restore and older version of Temasek's ROM and promptly had SDCard access issues until I ran the fix again.
Thanks for your replies!
I am definitely doing "restore missing apps with data", though I am deselecting some of the apps (the very large ones) before restoring if that's an issue.
I didn't take a Nandroid backup unfortunately, I usually don't as I have no need for the data other than apps. Using an "apps.zip" sounds like an interesting approach - I might try that next time.
I'll try to work with the SD card - should I try to find and flash an LP version of SDCardFix or just use the KK one?
I tried reflashing the rom after a data, dalvik, cache, and /system wipe. Then I restored all apps, but the same problem came back, so the problem seems to be replicable.
Some people in the forums have suggested doing a "Fix permissions" in CWM, however that feature was obviously removed. There's a flashable zip that restores the feature apparently. Do you think I should try that or will it have no effect?
Thank you!
Hi,
I've just rooted my s7 edge international variant SM-935FD with TWRP custom recovery, wiped internal data etc
However I notice no matter what ROM's I'm flashing (tried Renovate r13, TEKXnesis v4.5, Superman 1.4.1), once I've configured all my apps...and used it for some time, then perform a reboot, some of my apps are restored to initial state ie. lost settings. Not sure what is causing this but it's really frustrating
I've disabled some apps in the process but the apps are mainly S Health, Gear VR, Internet Browser etc, didnt mess much with other system files, and never installed Xposed or the likes.
Anyone experience this strange behavior? It seems like everytime it clear app caches on reboots.
Thanks
Ok I think I figured it out....it was a zip that I flashed causing all this mess : (
Hello XDA Community, I have a problem. I was using Slim stock rom of @vaserbanix and I decided to install Xposed Franework and Wanam Xposed for Android 5.x.x I choosen some settings of that app and rebooted. Since that moment, some apps like Facebook, Amazon Shopping, Gmail and Google Keep don't work. When I open them, there's a message that the apps stopped, so there's a force closing of these apps. I tried to flash CM 12.1 and the problem in few apps was fixed, but spotify got a force close. I decided to flash the latest firmware via odin to restore the telephone, but the problem keeps appearing. I also tried to clean cache, dalvik cache and I cleaned cache of single application. I don't know what to do, the problem keeps appearing. Can you help me? Please guys

Maybe your RAM memory is damaged/dead. Send the phone into service.

Well I don't have warranty anymore since I rooted it, and I don't want to pay that money. That's alot!
Okay, it seems that with CM 12.1 by Nick Verse I solved the problem. Anyway, I'm scared because on stock I think the problem will come again. I'll wait the new firmware 6.0.1 for J500FN when it will be out. For now I'll stay with CM
