Apps Don't work anymore - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got 2 Zenfone 5's. One is for general serious stuff, like whatsapp, work, etc and the other for gaming and experiments
Since I heavily modded my second phone, SOME apps started to not work on it, like PUBG Lite and Helix Jump. It crashes immediately as soon as i open it.
Could someone help me fix this problem, so these and other apps work again?
Some play store apps installs and works fine, others don't.:crying:
Tried clearing cache and data and reinstalling system. None worked.
I JUST flashed ViperOS, and also the battery drains a lot, which I think causes the freezings almost everytime there's 50 - 60 percent.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy i5800 Lag problems

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy 3 several days ago. The first thing what I did was unpack the package and boot up Odin. I haven't ever seen/used the stock rom.
The first ROM I tried was InDroid 4.1. Looked nice, but sometimes I had a lot of 'lag' and for instance, when I tried to open Talk (I was already online) it took about 20-25 seconds to view the contactlist. Sometimes everything was working smooth en sometimes all apps were lagging like hell. I tried to reset the factory settings in the recovery mode, but it didn't help.
After that I thought maybe the rom wasn't so good so I tried to flash the stock rom back. I used the newest stock rom from this topic. But I couldn't get it working, it hanged always on the boot screen ("Samsung i5800") and the recovery mode didn't work. After that I tried to flash the newest Kyrillos' rom but I couldn't get that working either.
After that I tried the Dharam's Stock Performance Rom. This rom was working a lot better and it didn't "freeze" so much, but sometimes it does freeze. I tried my phone also without my SD card (Kingston 4GB Class 4 SDHC) and now it does freeze a lot less. (but it does sometimes and some apps are useless now (like Spotify)). Don't know if it is accidentally that it does not freeze so much without the SD card.
Well, I don't know if these freezes are normal, I can't check the stock rom (because I couldn't manage to flash it) but it is very annoying when you are texting somebody, emailing somebody or talking to anybody that you can't type normal (like 1 char/3sec) or that you have to wait very long until something shows up.
Btw, some more information: it doesn't matter how many apps I have open, sometimes it does freeze with only two apps open in the task manager and for instance, now it is working fine with 11 apps open in the task manager. Pretty weird. There is about 200 MB free from the 245MB.
Maybe that somebody can help me out or can confirm that this is normal.
Edit (21:37): Ok, well I tried tonight to run several apps together, like Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, Runkeeper, Maps, Navigation, and some more. It wasn't as fast as my previous phone (HTC Desire) but it didn't lag like I described above. But when I run just 2 apps (like 'Messages' and 'Whatsapp' or just some other random combination (or sometimes nothing)) it can lag like hell. Don't think that it is lagging because of the amount of programs that I am running, but because of something else. But I can't find out what.
I just accomplished to flash back the stock XXJPM from samfirmware. I tried already the CPU frequency scaling but that didn't help either.
No problems for now..
I use bojpc from samfirmware and my phone lags alot too. Sometimes it gets stuck and reboots on his own!
Hmm, now I don't have any problems at all.. Only Spotify lags a bit when I use a lot of apps together, but I guess because that's spotify and this isn't a really fast phone.
I only miss a few things like the advanced battery icon and some other handy things. But that isn't a big deal.
Don't know if I'm gonna try another custom rom, maybe when 2.4 Fugumod is out of beta.

OpenFeint is driving me crazy!

Ok, I only recently started having this problem but it has persisted across two ROMs and three wipes.
Several times an hour OpenFeint will popup onscreen unbidden with the screen that asks me to disable it or enable it. This happens even when I'm not playing a game and even when the phone is sitting on my desk and locked; I'll pick it up, unlock it and the screen will already be up waiting.
As I said I've used two different ROMs, first Swagged Out-Stock (Swag-On) and the latest version of MikG. I wiped Swagged and reloaded it only to have the problem again and then switched to MikG and still have it. I do have a handful of OF enabled games installed.
I've tried everything I can think of to stop this; deleted the OF folder, opened OF from a game and chose Remove Account from this Device and even used closeFeint (app I found on XDA) all for nothing. I've looked all over for a file tied to it and have used different task apps, autorun apps and the built-in battery monitor to try and track it down but no luck.
Has any one else run into this or can any one offer any help on how I might get rid of it? I know that I can remove all OF related games but I do play them (and have paid for one) and would like to keep them if at all possible.

[Q] why the heck are my programs exiting?!

Okay, this is getting ridiculous and im getting pissed. My N10 has been working without a hitch (and without a camera flash too) for the past 6 or 7 months since i got it but one thing that is happening now is getting very annoying is it just exits out of apps when the app is trying to load something...not exiting when the app itself is loading, but when the app is busy loading another task. Man im getting mad...so for example im on facebook the interface loads fine but when i start browsing pictures and an image is taking a few seconds to load and BAM, the program closes, another example i have the AOSP browser opened and im browsing the web, I type in a web address it starts to load, and BAM, closes, playing candy crush, it plays fine and then i try to ask for help from facebook and once it starts loading my friends and it does it again.i could go on and on. its happening on game apps, google apps its pissing me the heck off and it just started about a month ago. I have tried several roms thinking it was a memory leak somewhere or something for that matter and no luck. Ive tried trinity and KT kernels thinking the stock kernel was the culprit and still no dice. Ive even gone as far as to wipe out the whole device, everything to the fullest system format and reinstall a new stock image via wugs toolkit...still happening. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is there a fix for this? Is anyone going through this crap too? The Dev forums have been quite lately but im sure this tablet still has very active users who can help because this is getting old. BTW I am running Purity latest rom with Franco kernel r12 just in case you need to know
Does this happen after you watch videos? For me, that's the only time..apparently the surface flinger eats up the RAM and hardly 20-30MB is left for other apps. So I guess the system starts force closing the apps. I don't think we have a permanent fix for this yet. However, the workaround I have applied is I disabled Chrome which is another RAM eater and since then this random force closing and even the random restarts problem seems to have been alleviated!
Another simpler option is to restart the tab whenever you feel it is starting to operate with a lag. Takes hardly 30 seconds And hope for Google to release the fix to the surface flinger issue with 4.3!

Heavy lag

Hi guys,
Has anyone noticed heavy lag and freezing when using the phone. I don't have a lot of apps installed and i have disabled most apps that i don't use and the phone is still giving me issues.
Any advice is appreciated. [emoji4]
I switched from RAZR MAXX HD and this phone is a space rocket in comparison to my old Droid. Have you tried factory restore? Then if it lags - I would try to return it to Moto.
Check CPU utilization. Maybe some app hangs on. I've noticed that noozy (music player) lags like hell when album is over and player remains in notification bar.

I have the same problem, I tried to removing as much as possible automatic start calling but often when I uncheck the receiver this puts me "failed" in Rom Toolbox, I have tried Xposed Auto Boot module, but I do not feel that it works.
But for me, I have a lot of app instaled and my UI is very modified (Nova Launcher, Gravity Box, various Widget), so I know why he lag, but I still find it overheating lot and that's what most do slow.
Hi, I am having same issue. My configs was same as you, @Trinytix, but I had uninstalled all of them because lag issues. And now I continue to have same lag issues. When I use the standard cam for five minutes it become freezy and lag and sometimes I lose some photos. All the time it is burning. Just stops to burn when I leave it without work about 30 minutes. I think the problem is the snapdragon 810 but in other foruns some say that the problems with this processor was fixed.
I've been having similar issues, I got really into theming (using nova prime) the last couple of months and at the end of January the phone started to really lag hard. A couple weeks ago I stopped being able to open any apps other than the phone and google's messenger. I tried to factory reset from settings and could not (device gets stuck un the power down sequence), so I went the recovery mode route. reinstalled a fraction of my apps, put back a much stripped down version of my theme, and things were mostly ok, if a little laggy. However, the phone insisted that there was no SD card (internal or external) despite there being a 64GB card, which would sometimes show up when viewed in settings, some apps (podcast addict) were able to access the internal memory, but others couldn't (cameras, sms, photos, music). Yesterday the keyboard ceased to launch for more than a split second at a time, and would not take any input (you would not believe how infuriating this is unless you've experienced it first hand). In an attempt to regain some functionality I started uninstalling everything that I don't consider vitally important (bus app, podcasts, messenger) couldn't get through more than 1 or 2 at a time because multiple windows would stack telling me processes like "motorola" "android" and "media" had stopped. I did succeed in stripping away all the automation apps and theming apps (tasker, nova, icon packs, etc). I can't even place a phone call on the first try.
Oh and to add insult to injury I have to darned green lines about 0.5cm wide now.
Looks like hw problem or system got corrupted. Try to re-flash whole system but if is hw...

Phone not smooth after 2+ months of usage.

So i keep switching between stock and TruPure because my phone keeps getting slow after around the 2-3 month mark. (after a clean flash)
The only thing that helps after that is a clean wipe that temporary solves the problem. I do not have a lot of apps installed, only ones i use daily.
I have never had this problem with my last phone (a Oneplus one)
Is it time to format the internal storage as well? (have not done this for a while now)
Will switching to AOSP solve this problem?
I have some apps installed (around 6gb) with some heavy ones like facebook, snapchat ect and it still works fine for me. I'm on stock 6.0.1 eu. It's not always perfectly smooth but never had to wait for longer time or reboot device because of freeze. For now I have 1104h of up time (around 46 days) and it doesn't feel like it needs any cleaning.
I have the same problem. A reboot makes it faster again, but nothing like a clean reinstall...
