I've tried flashing slim rom and paranoid Android and all do the same thing. As soon as Google apps are installed the Google voice search prompt pops up repeatedly. It disables calling and also all sounds. I have turned it off in Google settings best I could and it still keeps happening. It has essentially made my nexus 6 unusable. And since I need the Google app I don't know what to do. Anyone seen this problem before? I am guessing it is not rom specific as it happens on all I have tried. Help severely needed

When I flashed a different ROM there were always issues when I did not a wipe in TWRP recovery (factory reset).
I have cleared data and cache along with a system wipe. Any thing else I can try to wipe?

In TWRP there is a message about wiping.
When you did that it is OK.
Effect should be that after booting the new rom, you need to completely setup the device again (setup wizard).
When there are still issues it could be a corrupt download.
I'll try to be more clear here.
I have done a factory reset (system, data, cache, dalvik) from TWRP.
I install new rom (chroma, paranoid, slim, and a stock build)
Boot up phone, complete setup wizard.
"Listening" prompt from google voice search starts popping up repeatedly, over and over no matter what I am doing on the phone.
I disable google voice search, doesn't matter, continues to pop up.
In the meantime it disables all sounds on the phone and I cannot place a call/take a call.
Again, this is the same actions that happen regardless of what rom I have installed, even after doing the reset.
Try changing the GApps package you flash after your ROMs.
I'm guessing you've been using the same GApps with each ROM you listed. Download another GApps and use that instead in a clean flash of a given ROM.
Good luck!
(One more thought: You could try clean flashing a ROM with a built-in GApps and see if that works...)

There are two important options in TWRP.
WIPE and FORMAT.
You have installed several different roms. The memory could be messed up.
A format could help.
The last suggestion I can do is: back to stock.
Flash a factory image.
Leave bootloader unlocked.
Check if the issue is gone when the stock rom is set up.
Than choose a custom rom, start with Chroma.

What do I format? System? It doesn't seem to be a Google specific problem as even with Google not installed the phone just hangs up when I dial a number and sound doesn't work. It went away on its own about an hour after start up and I've been good for a week. Now just this morning it started doing it again. The volume turned itself up a notch and boom no sound on video can't call anyone. It's very strange, and must be a deep rooted issue as it is across all roms. The only difference with Google now installed is the listening prompt popping up constantly. Without its just what I listed above.

Revert back to stock (e.g. with Wug's nexus root Toolkit), leave bootloader unlocked. Then reflash your things and see if problem persists. If it does, try TK GApps and don't install Google App (per gapps-config.txt).

I am running Gigglebread 7.0.2 on my T-Mobile N1. I am getting ready to go to Italy for a few weeks and wanted to see what would happen to my phone with another carrier's SIM. So, I inserted the AT&T SIM from my work blackberry and had some issues, but got it working after the APN was sorted out.
When I swapped the T-Mobile SIM back, all of my Google accounts had forgotten their credentials. I rebooted once just to see and no change. So, I thought, easy, restore nandroid from earlier in the day. The restore went fine, no errors, no wipe of cache or dalvik only now I appear to have no gapps (no market, unable to add google accounts, shortcuts on desktop don't work). Again, no problem. I've seen this before so I wiped cache and dalvik from CW 2.5.x recovery and installed dta2sd (sometimes it helps) and then 20110307 gapps. Reboot and still no gapps functionality.
So, I brought out the bigger hammer (after a couple of tries at gapps install) and wiped data/factory, dalvik, cache partition, restored nandroid, reboot. Still no gapps. Repeated the same wipe, restore nandroid, install dta2sd, install gapps, reboot. Still no gapps.
Now I'm getting desperate. Less than 72 hours till plane leaves! I next changed to AmonRA recovery and wiped, various nandroid/gapps/dta2sd combinations and still no gapps functionality.
Switched to CW 3, yeah, I know... And wiped cache, dalvik, factory/data, and even formatted system. Various installations and it still refused to install gapps.
I next tried the CW 2.x factory/data wipe, dalvik, cache, and then installed Gigglebread 7.0.2, dta2sd beta4(like always), and gapps 20110307 and rebooted. As expected, sterile phone, touch android, and then I'm prompted for google account. I skip that and sure enough, market is back and I can add google accounts.
AUGH. Unless someone has a suggestion, I'm probably going to have to do a full reinstall tomorrow. I've been wanting to do it, but not this close to a trip.
On a side note, is it normal for a swap of the SIM card to wipe out my account settings? I will make sure from now on that my TI b/u is up to date.

Infuriating as it is, especially as you must have so much to do already, a re-install might be best at this point. Trying to troubleshoot and avoid doing this could just mean more wasted time in the long run.

Yup, already on that path. I fell asleep last night or I would have finished. I did manage to get a TI backup of many of my apps (gmail especially) so hopefully I won't have to set those back up again since I'm using two-factor auth on all of them (10 accounts) and don't want to go through the process of invalidating and recreating the app specific passwords again.

I am also facing the same problem now.
I was on Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 when some application weirdly started building up data on system storage. There was only 16 KB of space left and it became un-responsive. So I restarted it, only to find the looping Cyan logo.
Fortunately I had a backup from 15 days back, which was CM 7.0.2. So, I flashed that and I thought I am back. But, I found Market was not working, in fact it was not even showing up in the app list. Also, Contacts data was wiped out and when I tried to check out the account and settings, google account option itself was not showing up.
I tried flashing 7.0.3 + latest gapps package using Rom manager, that did not work. I tried a clean wipe and flashed 7.0.2 from my backup, no effect. Then flashed latest gapps again, no change.
It is frustrating now. It looks as if google is not supporting my device anymore.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Did you check md5 from your gapps package?
You said you were using ROM manager so I suppose you are on cwm but are you on cwm 3.x or are you on cwm 2.5.1.4? If your on 3.x then downgrade if not then maybe try Amon-RA with temasek system wipe maybe just making a clean install of your recovery might fix it.
Also you might want to try flashing from recovery instead of ROM manager. Just for the fun of it.
Might also need to partition sd card again as CWM 3.0 probably fubar it.
Hi,
I've been using galaxy tab 8.9 with custom ROMs for more than a year and a half now, and sometimes it was acting strange, like flickering dialogs and crashes. Usually this meant an unstable ROM or just cache wasn't cleared when a new ROM was installed. And it was stable for some time, till I did a reset. Now no ROM is stable any more in addition to this, the battery sometimes says it is empty, but after restart it is back to normal status. I tried number of ROMs without luck, all are flickering lately which must mean it is not ROMs fault.
I am running out of ideas what to do with this tablet, so I'm asking if you guys have any suggestions, what else can I do to fix it.
NOTE: when installing a new ROM, I always did it with CWM recovery from internal storage with data, cache, dalvik wipe and factory reset.
regards, Daniel

Do you ever wipe the system partition?

Agree. In TWRP, a factory reset only wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. You have to manually format system. A clean install requires to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

Try flashing the original firmware via odin.

Flashing original firmware would be my last resort. Is there any difference between odin and CWM flashing?

Of course. Flashing original firmware via odin brings back the original setup that came with the tab out of the box. I just don't remember if it will delete the contents of internal sd card. In any case, you can flash original firmware thru CWM as I always do, though I only flash boot and system images I modified in Kitchen. It will still be stock but only that it has been debloated, rooted, busybox installed, init.d enabled, and some system apps replaced.
Just remember that when flashing ROMs via CWM do a factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache). In addition to the wipe, the rom.zip itself formats the system partition prior to flashing.
Here is the problem that I've never met on my previous Nexus 4 devices.
I was trying to update my Nexus6 to the latest CM12.1 nightly today(my Nexus6 already runs on CM12.1).
Then I downloaded the zip from cyanogenmod.org, and flashed it without clean cache or wipe, because I'm updating within the version 12.1.
I always updating system on my N4 this way, it never fails.
But on my N6, when it finishing Optimizing Apps, it will restart immediately, and start optimize apps again, then start over.
I had the same problem before when I was using Chroma rom, and that's why I switch to CM(always had to re-install all my apps after updating).
Is there anybody know what causing this problem and how to solve it? So that I can update ROM normally.
May be it's sometime essential to wipe data/ factory cache before installing another ROM.

You have to wipe. From TWRP, wipe dalvik, cache, system, and data.
I have a HTC ONE m7, rooted, I have been running CM11, flashing the nightlies with great success. When CM12 came out, it 'soft bricked' my phone, continuous reboots, failing android functions. was able to reinstall Titanium backup, then restore the phone to a previous point. back running, but not without bugs. after trying this 3 times, I have given up. but I read where people say, "do a wipe" then flash the ROM....... What, specifically does this mean?
yes I have rooted my phone, but I am just knowledgable to be dangerous. if It means back to factory specs, then how do I flash the rom? I think that my phone should run CM12, and maybe I need to wipe? wipe what? dalvic cache? is that a wipe?
Anybody have some ideas or can point me to some postings that may help me. Many Thanks, very tired of operating on the last build of CM11
blairan
Do a wipe typically means wipe the data, system, cache, and dalvik cache partitions. If you are using TWRP as your recovery (I do for this phone), boot into it and then press Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. Select those four (not internal storage or USB OTG) and then Swipe to Wipe. Of course, your phone won't boot at this point, so you'll need a new ROM waiting on internal storage to be flashed.
thankyou Coal, I have been trying to install a CM12 and/or a CM12.1 ROM I can get them to boot up, but play store is not present. I can access play store via themes, and it comes up as a web page rather than an app. (is this norm for CM12?)
once I sign in to play store, I try to install titanium backup to restore all my apps. it says it is installed, I press it anyway, and it says it will be installed soon, which never happens. CM12 and CM12.1 seem to be running fine, but I can't restore any of my old phone. I can recover to a CM11, but it is a little unstable, so I would like to upgrade the system and be flashing nightlies again. what do you think?
and after watching a few videos on you tube, I figured out that I was missing the Gapps file, and the supers file. enjoying lollipop success.
thanks coal!

I was going to suggest GAPPS, but I wasn't sure if you needed it for CM. Glad you figured it out!
First off, I'm new here despite having visited this site many times before. Glad to be here!
So, I recently flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 to my Moto G (xt1045). It's worked well so far but my only issue is that I can't seem to get Gapps on my phone no matter how many times or ways I've tried. I've wiped the Dalvik cache, done a factory reset, adb side loading...pretty much everything, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Does the developer recommend any gapps? Did you try these: http://opengapps.org/ ?
Flash through TWRP,in the upcoming menu you can chose which apps you´d like to have,which ones should be replaced etc. Wipe Cache/dalvik afterwards.
If you try to flash gapps what happens? Any error message? Just nothing?
Yes, the CyanogenMod site provided several links which I tried originally tried, and I also used your links but with no success. When the phone reboots, right after I swipe the lockscreen to unlock, I get a message that says "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped working.". Sometimes it reappears several more times after I tap 'ok'.
I tried flashing Gapps using my first recovery which is CWM. When none of that worked I flashed TWRP, then restarted the whole process and still nothing. Does it make a difference that CWM was there first? Also, in TWRP I see no option for choosing which Gapps to be installed.
Normally you put the zip file with the Gapps on your SD card and when you push the "install"button in TWRP just scroll down until you find the zip and use the slider to flash them.
I don´t know your rom but often the procedure is to to factory reset and wipe the phone(Dalvik, Data, Cache and System), then flash the rom,wipe dalvik/cache and then let the phone boot one time. Skip all the steps in the setup process until you get to the homescreen,then reboot the phone into recovery again and flash the gapps. After that wipe cache/dalvik again and let the phone boot.
If you flash the gapps directly after the rom without rebooting there can be issues between sytem apps of the rom like for example playstore and playservices and the flashed Gapps.
Cool, I'll try that. I read somewhere to start with a clean slate ROM so I'm downloading CyanogenMod again. When it finishes I'll do what you suggested and report back.
