Device is a a rooted Sprint LG G FLEX. As of today anytime I reboot, the settings app disappears. In order to get it back, I have to go into Titanium Backup and restore it (shows the settings app name with a line stricken thru it). Rooted with ioroot23 months ago. Any Ideas? Will I need to unroot and factory restore?

Is anyone with a VZW Dev Ed phone having problems with uninstalling apps after installing the 4.4 system images? I was able to flash the images that Motorola posted on their site and get root but now I cannot uninstall apps. Every time I try to uninstall an app (such as root checker) the phone will get to the "Confirm Uninstall" text but will immediately shut off once I hit "OK". The screen goes dark and it takes about 15 seconds before it goes back to the lockscreen, with the app still in the drawer.
I'm wondering if some of my system data got corrupted when I flashed 4.4 because tapping "Security" in settings FCs the entire thing.

Reflashed 4.4 and got everything working.

A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
I installed Lollipop and had some random crashes (google search), and some laggyness.
So I decided to do a factory reset from the settings screen.
I was hoping to use the new Lollipop backup and restore feature, but after resetting it only offered the tap & go restore.
Does anyone know if there's a way to force a Google/Android restore from the Google backups online?
Thanks for any help.
When I purchased my Droid Maxx it was running 4.2.2 and I used the PIE exploit to root it. At the time, I didn't realize that allowing the 4.4.4 OTA update would completely frag the root so I took it. Now, on 4.4.4 I of course have very buggy and inconsistent root access. So, I decided to just unroot and forget about it for this phone. To that end, I ran a full unroot from SuperSU and the app disappeared. Great...until I rebooted and it came back. I went back into the app, disabled it via the app settings, full unroot again, and again the app reappears on reboot. I can't delete the apk from the System folder because even with SuperSU enabled it won't grant me write access (see above: root fragged). So what the hell am I supposed to do? The phone is essentially unrooted, but on every reboot, regardless of unroot attempts, SuperSU reinstalls itself.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Either root it properly and use that to remove it, or reflash your full stock firmware.
Recently I had some problems with my phone (how you can see in the hid content) and I was instructed to do a system reset as the only way to solve it.
I'm kind of layman, so... can someone help me? Tks.
My device is the Moto X 2014 (XT1097). It is rooted but I didn't install any custom ROM.
Copied and pasted from my post on Reddit:
I uninstalled some apps trough the Titanium Backup (Downloads Manager, Downloads, E-mail, Google Chrome and Talkback). Luckily I had a backup of it, I restored it and restarted the phone. After it, every time I open the gallery or the Play Store the warning "android.process.media has stopped" pops up... actually, it pops up all the time, I barely can use my phone. Can someone help me?

EDIT: I've just disabled the "auto-sync" option and the warning has stopped but I really want to find a solution that lets me auto-sync my apps. Please, help.
EDIT²: Ok. The warning is back.
If system files are missing or damaged, a factory reset won't help. You would need to reflash the system image. Otherwise, a factory reset could fix it if data things are messed up.
