GT-I9505 misbehaves after flashing twrp - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My S4 is misbehaving since i installed twrp on it. No other modifications were made before that, so it's a bit puzzling since i haven't found other threads about this.
My problem is that after installing twrp many applications have stopped working or have disappeared altogether, including whatsapp, google play services, google play, etc... As a workaround i've tried re-installing opengapps (mini and stock) and clearing cache/data for Google Play and Services, but that didn't work.
My first guess was that twrp somehow messed up the userdata folder, but some applications there work just fine and it wouldn't make a lot of sense for installing twrp to do that, so i'm at a loss. I still haven't tried a factory reset yet and if possible i'd prefer to fix the problem rather than reinstalling, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Twrp was installed following cyanogen mod's wiki instructions ( https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx ) from linux.

google apps - maps not installing on cyanogen 7.1

hello all,
not been on here for a while, but wondering if anyone has seen a similar issue to mine. I have flashed the Cyanogen 7.1 mod and the gapps file from the cyanogen wiki. I have all the new google apps including google play appear in my menu but no google maps.
I hve downloaded google maps form google play but when installing I get the error "incompatible with other applications using the same UserID"
Does anyone have a simple fix for this one?
Regards
Graeme
i had the same problem. reflashing will help
Have you tried uninstalling maps, clearing the market cache then re-installing?
You might also want to try a re-flash of the gapps and maybe even of the rom.
im also having a similar problem, and those solutions found by googling and looking at random forums, hasn't worked. (they mostly said mount system...)
but, i dont get market or anything else. this is from a full wipe.
also tried flashing the ROM and then the gapps straight after ROMflash, also tried flashing gapps after i've done first boot. tried clearing cache and remove data on both tries also.

[Q] Device reset?

When i was flashing some app, my nexus stopped at the boot animation during reboot. I tried clearing cache and flashing the kernel again without luck. So i flashed system.img using fastboot. After a reboot all my apps are gone. I can still see my sdcard data from the computer. How to restore my apps with data. Also google apps seems to be missing as well (Only few apps like maps, email,play games/movies etc are present and they are not working as well since google play services not running). I am not able to add an account. Please help
Somebody please help me out.
What did you try to flash that caused this?
I flashed moto g gallery from apps and themes section. I ended up formatting everything (I did back up my sdcard which contains my earlier TiB backup files). What I want to know is that whenever i messed up system files in kitkat or JB, flashing the same system.img restores everything without effecting my apps/apps data. Will it not work in LP ? Have anyone tried this.
The new installation wasn't pretty as well. I was not able to login to my google account (couldn't connect to google servers). After repeated tries I was able to do so. I installed all my previous apps from wondershare toolkit. But after a random reboot/s some(not all) of my apps are missing which I am pretty sure installed and check in app drawer.

[Q] Problem with CM12 Play Store Error 505

Hi Community,
maybe somebody can help me with my problem
What happend:
I had a LG G2 (D802) with CM11M12 installed on it. Also Tasker and Taskwatch were installed. I decided to upgrade to the first CM12 official nightly. I installed it over TWRP without a full wipe (only Cache and Dalvik). Something with the Play Store didn't work. I wanted to install an app (I don't know anymore which it was) but it didn't install cause of error 505. I thought it was because I flashed it over CM11.
So this time I made a full wipe, pushed CM12 and GApps (KK) through ADB into my storage and installed it clean. It didn't start. There was an error at the homescreen. Setup Wizard or something like that crashed every second.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0 and tried it again. Same result.
I made a full wipe again. Pushed CM11M12, CM12 and GApps through ADB and installed CM11M12. The phone booted. I installed CM12 and GApps. Now it worked. Everything is just fine, BUT I can't install Tasker and Taskwatch. If I install Tasker and try to install Taskwatch, then I get the 505 error. When I uninstall Tasker I can install Taskwatch, but can't install Tasker anymore. I uninstalled Tasker via ADB. Same result.
Edit 01/10/2015: I did a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik, internal storage) and format data. I installed todays CM12 and LP GApps. This time it booted and worked without problems with setup wizard. Problem with error 505 remains.
Question:
What can I do to install both apps and not only one of them?
Thank you in advance.
Well I'm on the latest CM12 nightly +LP gapps and I get error 504 when installing certain programs like facebook, viber but not all of them give me this error. On some I get it on the first try and then it works. I deleted playstore cache and all the crap I could find over web but nothing helped. Wiped/factory reset still nothing.

Seems like another problem. 505 is related to a permission error. 504 is bad gateway, but I don' know the answer for your problem. Maybe you could try to install another GApps Version. Can you install those apps through Amazon App Store or via an apk file? Because I can't do that, the permession is still present. And I can install both application, but not together.
In fact I don't even know whose fault it is (error 505), could be one of these apps or Cyanogenmod or Google. As far as the stock 5.0 or a Cyanogenmod Snapshot will come out, I will try to install both apps again or has anyone a better solution?
Still the same problem
Thought it would maybe work with the newest Nightly (20150207), but I was wrong. Wiped everything, installed with gapps. Can install Tasker but not Pebble TaskWatch. Or Taskwatch without Tasker (which makes no sense).
Can you solve it? I have the same problem

[Q] Settings app crashing???

So tonight I tried the new Cm13 that got updated, doing a full wipe. All went good after a bit of testing, finding that the camera bug I already knew about was there, but after installing a few of my apps that I had before at the same time I tried installing some unofficial ones from .apks, Google Services Framework started crashing and my launcher, Trebuchet also did, so as the settings when I tried getting into the apps screen to try wiping data and cache for the settings app. So I got stuck there. Luckily I had a backup and succesfully restored to my last ROM with most of my data back. I did try anything I could think of to stop the crashing, except flashing another Gapps package. I did try reflashing the same with no success to fix the crashes. On the thread it recommended the Nano package because that provided you with the option to hold home button to Screen Search...
Thank you for any answers. BTW I also tried wiping those apps data trough Titanium Backup with no succes, again. :crying:
How do I stop Google Framework Services and settings (when entering app management screen) from crashing?
Galaxy J500-FN Current ROM: Ressurection Remix Android 5.1.1

"Google Play services has stopped" on 3 different 7.1.1. ROMs (RR, AICP, Lin.)

"Google Play services has stopped" on 3 different 7.1.1. ROMs (RR, AICP, Lin.)
Hey guys,
coming from a stock 5.0.2 I wanted to install Lineage Nougat. So first I installed TWRP 3.x and then Lineage and gApps.
After the installation I rebooted into the system and the setup wizard started (albeit this also has been crashing sometimes on all 3 roms), letting me go as far as the Google account login, "Checking info..." which crashed with the message "Google Play services has stopped". I can go through the wizard without doing anything, but it's the same in the system.
Can't open Play Store, can't add Google Account.
I've tried 3 roms, Resurrection Remix, Lineage, and AICP. All Android 7.1.1.
I've tried different builds, different builds for gApps, different versions (nano, micro, stock).
Tried the usual clear cache etc. stuff for Google Play that you find online. Tried installing a new Play Services apk from apkmirror.
Nothing works, it's the same thing every time. Recovery, Wipe, Install Rom+gApps, Reboot, Play Services crash.
It doesn't seem to have to do with the ROMs.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
So I found something while looking for answers that seems to be my problem, but I don't really understand what this person did.

Somehow, after many hours spread over the last week, last night I seem to have fixed it.
I had suspected that it was an issue with a corrupt partition, (or permissions, or something!) on the internal storage, as it was only when I tried to download something that the browser crashed, and Play Store would generally only start crashing after a first time browsing with it. Also sometimes from within Recovery I wouldn't be able to wipe data properly (it would complete almost instantly, sometimes not removing a previous ROM...). Sometimes it did seem to work properly though.
I can't pin down exactly what I did that fixed it though. I tried 2 things at once: I manually wiped each of /system, /cache, etc through fastboot in the bootloader, and I also (from adb in recovery) manually did mkdir /data and mkdir /data/media

Can someone help me with this, what exactly did he do? When I go adb reboot-bootloader the phone restarts normally, I'm not going into a fastboot mode. And mkdir says the directory already exists.
Stupid question, are you using TWRP 3.1.0-1 by BlastGator? I remember reading something about the recovery being associated with this issue, I just don't remember where.

YES!
But I think I tried it with 2.8.xx as well, but I'll try again just in case.
Edit: So I tried it, to no avail.
Boot to Rec, Flash TWRP 2.8, Reboot, Wipe, Flash RR and Gapps, Reboot, Google Play Stopped.
Am I missing a step or anything I should try different?
I installed TWRP and root with SRK Tool 2.1, maybe there's something wrong there?
I have exactly same problem with you. I've tried many flashing methods and it went fail and fail again. Please tell me if your problem have been solved. Anyway I'm at CloudyG2 3.3 right now and using TWRP blastgator 3.1.0-1.
