[Q] Bone stock 4.4.4 force closing apps - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a gen 1 moto x that is bone stock and force closes most apps. Yesterday it was unable to charge on all but one of my chargers. The phone is near non-functional with how regularly apps stop working. Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks!

Problem with some apps

Hi!
I have a XT1097 with 4.4.4 unrooted and with lock bootloader, so basically, I haven't touched the phone.
The first thing I did was to activate ART.
There are plenty of apps that are "forcing close" randomly. Some of them are "Spotlight" from Motorola (when I download some of the clips the app force closes and I have to open it again), Safer Taxi is another app, Amazon App is another.
I'm having this problems because I have activated ART? does anybody experiencing this kind of issues?
Cheers
I have the same phone and activated ART, the only thing I found that force closed for me was I sideloaded the lollipop keyboard, everything else seems to work although I don't use the apps you listed.

[Q] Hangouts has stopped notification

Since updating my turbo to the ota 5.1 today, I periodically get a "unfortunately hangouts has stopped" pop up. It's odd because I have the app disabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I am not rooted nor have I ever rooted my turbo. Thanks in advance.
Many have reported this issue. You can go into your Settings/Apps/Hangouts and Force stop the app. I don't use Hangouts and had it disabled. Since I Force stopped it, I have not had the Notification pop up.

[Q] Intermittent redraws

I'm using a stock, rooted, manually debloated 5.1 system image that has incorporated some audio mods. Every once in a while, I'll notice that after waking my phone up, I'll get a redraw. I'm using the stock launcher. Here's what I've tried to get rid of them:
1. Just about everything you can think of involving the Google App (clear data, clear cache, uninstall and reinstall, etc.)
2. Switching to the Google Now launcher and back again.
3. Booting into safe mode and back again.
4. Reverting to the rom that doesn't have the audio mods that I implemented (at least I think I implemented them. I'm not sure how or if I can tell the difference).
5. Clearing cache from recovery about a million times.
Has anyone run into this problem and solved it?
The same behavior occurs on the Moto Maxx with 5.0.2. I was really hoping that it would have been fixed in 5.1.x.
I just flashed 5.1 the other day (using CF's image). I do get frequent redraws of the home screen and icons. I just installed Nova launcher thinking it was an issue with GNL.
I am seeing this on my Turbo since going to the OTA 5.1. with Nova. I don't seem to see it with Action Launcher 3 on the Turbo though. I also see it on my Nexus 7 2013 with 5.1.1 with Nova. Again I don't seem to see it with Action Launcher 3 on the Nexus.
I've noticed that it happens less and less frequently the longer I've been running this rom. Maybe it's just an android thing.
I did notice one thing.... I have turned off the google search bar that shows at the top of each screen by default. However every time I unlock the screen, it flashes the Google search box momentarily, then it disappears.
Also during phone calls, sometimes the bottom right part of the screen will flicker
I turned off Moto Display and the issue is completely gone. But I'm so used to unlocking my phone without having to use the power button that I really want it back
It is a Moto Display issue for sure. I have been experimenting lately and have discovered if I use only swipe for locking that once in a while when unlocking the phone I will have to do the android unlock after the Moto Display unlock. If I use smart lock associated with my Moto 360 watch those same times I'd get the second unlock I get a home screen redraw instead.
So come on Motorola - fix the problem! It is not just the Turbo/Maxx that has the problem. It is the Moto X etc as well.

[Q] Weird Replacement N6 Issues

OK I'll try to make this short and to the point. I had returned my previous N6 because of spilt screen freezing issues. This replacement I have came with build 47M on it. I booted it up and immediately got a couple popups of Google play store and Google service force closes. Not worried about it cause I was going to use NRT to unlock, root, and flash a rom. That was a mistake cause then it was a continuous flow of random force closes of anything I tried using (messenger, chrome, Google services, and etc). Redownloading and reflashing to no avail so want a rom issue like I thought. Used NRT to flash stock, unroot, and relock back to 47M and OTA up to 28E. Still getting force closes of Google services and play store and even constant closes of the play store without the force close gump (it just disappears). So my question is wtf is going on? The N6 I had screen issues with didn't have any force close issues. I'm at a loss and beginning to think that my replacement needs a replacement. Anyone know how to help? I would love to root again or even enjoy this beautiful phone without crazy force closes..... Thanks in advance guys/gals!
Edit: Now just seconds after posting this I went to download some previous installed apps from the play store then I got riddled with a constant gapps force close and the phone rebooted itself. Now I am waiting for andriod to start apps like it would if you upgraded the OS.......

Sluggish response apps not responding

Lately my phone is sluggish. When I open an app it is a delay of about a minute and when playing a game it constantly freezes and all apps give a pop up message of the app is not responding to wait or close the app. Is there any way to fix this?
My Moto Z3 Play started doing the same thing. I click on an app and it will take several minutes to register, all kinds of not responding messages (system ui not responding, etc). I tried a factory reset thinking it was a bad app I installed, but after the reset the phone it's still doing the same thing. My Z3 is basically unusable. The fact the phone is doing this even after a factory reset means the issue/bug is tied to a moto or google system app that's not going anywhere after the factory reset.
Edit: I even did a fresh install with a Moto stock rom via fastboot commands and the pre-installed moto and google apps are all freezing (waiting to respond error). This is definitely tied to the latest moto or google app update.
