Google Now and others resetting when phone restarts (please help!) - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I have tried everything and nothing works, so I am coming to this expert forum for help!
So, in March I downloaded the TWRP 3.1.0 for my rooted OP 3T and installed it. When I updated my LineageOS version a couple of days later, it didn't install properly, an error came up... and something in Google broke. The TWRP 3.1.0 wasn't working properly, so I downgraded to 3.0.3 and went back some days in LineageOS, but the damage was done.
This is what happens now each time I restart the phone:
- Google Now resets (I need to re-sign up for it every time I start the phone)
- Google Play Store resets (I need to uncheck the autoupdate, the new icons for new apps, etc)
- Contacts and Calendar data resets and downloads again
- Phone calls disappear
- Google Now Launcher resets (bloody annoying, I have to use Nova Launcher because of this)
- For the first week, GMail was not starting, luckily I updated the GApps and it started working again
It's almost like some Google account data is being wiped every time I restart, which is extremely annoying.
I have since upgraded TWRP to 3.1.1 and all works smoothly with installs etc, but the above persist.
I have tried updating Google Play Services, GApps, Lineage OS, have tried wiping all the partitions (literally), I really don't know what else to do. Anyone with a clue?
Many thanks!!!

Just to follow up, it seems to have been fixed after I literally wiped ALL partitions, including all data (I had to sideload the OS and GApps!). Anyway, hope it helps anyone who had this same problem. Cheers!

Market/Play store error 101

Hi guys!
i know the 101 error is a common problem after flashing ics roms on galaxy nexus.
yesterday i flashed a new ics rom (teamhacksung build 16 to 17), which went smoot as always at first.
after signing in to my gmail account, it automatically downloaded some of my previously installed apps (even so i didn't want it to).
anyway, that was the last download from the market so far. every time i try to install an or update an app, it says "error downloading ..... error -101".
i tried the suggested sollutions, signing out and back in, clearing cache, remove update, even flashed back to build 16.
so far nothing helped.
weird thing which is probably related to the problem:
when i go to https://play.google.com/store/account i got 2 devices there, both sgs i9000. i just own one.
thanks for your help!
I too am getting these same problems. I am using slim ICS 2.8 on my Bell i9000
i somehow managed to fix it for me.
i'm not sure if this is reproducible, but:
- i cleared the cache and uninstalled the update of the market app
- i logged in to another googlemail account, then switched to this one in the market properties.
- after switching back to my original gmail account everything worked as intended
I too had this error after i updated my ROM to the latest version. I managed to fix it but i'm not sure if it would work for you
-Delete Google Account
-Clear play store cache
-Enter Google Play
-Sign in with the Google Account

Hey, so I have the same problem as you guys.. Apart from, it tells me that no account is registered. How brill. Any tips on what I should do? Please and Thank yous
Android error 101
Hey got some updates about error 101. I have a rooted xperia play. First my encounter with this error started after downloading Brothers in Arms. In consistently gave me the error whenever I download any apps more than 24 hours,
tried logging to another gmail account, clearing cache, changing 3g to wife but nothing works. Then I realized that I've froze and uninstalled some bloatwares/pre-installed apps on my xperia, I have titanium back up (free ver) for unistalling and system cleaner for freezing apps. So I restored everything (not resetting to factory default), reboot my phone, then tried to download apps again, and it went back to normal, I was able to download apps again.
The only question here is which of the pre-installed apps that I blocked that cause the 101 error... Hope this helps, I'll try to see which app it is.

I don't really think that is the case. Cause I have a fresh instal and it gave me this error. Of course, there may be a chance that a file for corrupted while flashing though. And its probably google talk or something. That's one of them that manages the play store from what I remember.

Problem with no-wipe

Since I got my N6, I've upgraded from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 version D, to 5.1 version E. Each time I used the great Nexus Root Toolkit with no-wipe mode, and each time it worked just fine except for the upgrade from D to E. That seemed to work OK, but it broke my gmail sync and notifications, and somehow disconnected my phone from Google Play. I couldn't install any new apps from the play store.
I tried lots of different things, including deleting data and cache, deleting and reinstalling my google account, and so on, but nothing worked. I finally had to to a factory reset and reinstall everything. That seems to have corrected all the problems. I don't think this is a NRT issued, I think it was caused by not wiping when I upgraded each time.
Anyway, problem solved, and I wanted to share the experience in case it might help anybody else.

CM12.1 to CM13 update help

I have a quick questions concerning the update to CM13:
(I'm running the latest 12.1 nightly, which is getting quite old I guess, so I read in the developer forum that the latest CM13 build are running quite well, but I'm not really sure how to update..)
- In the developer forum I seem to understand it's recommended to download the nightly, also download gapps and install both before booting again, right?!
- But - will I keep my data, apps, settings?
- Do I have to take care of sth else? (I already made a nandroid backup and copied the sd card)
- I'm also unsure because the CM updater just offers me the newest CM13 nightlies .... could I just click on install there?!!?!
(Hope it's okay to ask these questions )
Yes, you could just install CM 13 from the updater and lose nothing. However it is recommended to wipe the device, then install CM 13.
THanks for help, it didn't work as easy yesterday. (I had to flash cm-13.0-20160119-NIGHTLY-victara and open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160120 in TWRP manually, or maybe just the gapps manually because before that CM would "optimize apps" until it would reboot again, it never stopped. After flashing nano gapps it worked somehow...)
But today I destroyed everything again, :crying:
I clicked on the cm-13.0-20160120-NIGHTLY-victara update from within CM (CM updater)
It went to TWRP, applied the update, rebooted and since then it is in this bootloop again, I had yesterday
but flashing gapps doesn't fix it today
- someone got an idea how to fix this?; the most thing I care about are the new Messages in Whatsapp Messenger I didn't read before clicking on the update ... is there a way to keep them? (For example, if I back up /data now, wipe my phone, install CM13, restore /data ... would this work?!)
it would be great if someone could help me, I read the forums, but so far nothing I tried worked.
(I tried flashing todays nightly, yesterdays, my last step was wiping /system and then installing CM, gapps ... but it stays in this bootloop)
Sorry for being a newbie; if there's no help, please just tell me that there's no way to get back my unread messages, then I'll wipe and start from scratch :crying:
I somehow managed to boot once again, backup my Whatsapp data, then I wiped everything, made a clean install and everything was fine exept some data loss ..
(If someone has the same problem I might have some tips, but I'm not sure)
Until it started to bootloop again
But I think I know what my problem was and is. Back in CM12.1 I had the Google Search app "deactivated", after the update to CM13 ... I think I deactivated it again and that's what caused the endless boot.
(I just tried it again now after an backup, it's the cause, I hope after restoring the backup I didn't destroy everything again
But ... is this okay behavior? Back in CM12 I could disable Google Search without problems..
- Should I report this somewhere? Where? or is it not important?
- Would there be a way to "activate" Google Search from outside the OS?

[SOLVED] Titanium Backup issue? Play Store doesn't detect my apps

Hi,
After a clean flash I restored my user apps through Titanium backup v8.0.0.
The Play Store doesn't detect my installed apps: https://framapic.org/2B4BI8G6r2xU/KpoiIpq9ondr.png
I installed a new app from the Play Store and I can see it: https://framapic.org/9Kl35z8Hznx2/DBxvbshb27PB.png
I guess it's a TiBu issue. Do you know how I can fix it?
I already tried to clear app data of Google Play Store and Google framework and remove my Gmail account.
With or without Gapps, it's the same issue.
Thanks.

I don't back up my apps to Google servers. I'll try with the previous version of TiBu.
EDIT: after restorting the previous version of TiBu, I can update my apps again from Google Play.
There's definitively something wrong with v8.0.0.
EDIT2: it was a coincidence. Same issue after a new clean flash with TB 7.6.1. Don't know what I have to do to fix this damned problem!
EDIT3: Solved. I flashed a new ROM with Gapps package and done several tests. I'm back on unofficial RR ROM with microG and everything works... Do not ask me what is the final solution...

Strange to see this, as I just clean flashed yesterday and didn't have any issues with TiBu/Market. I'm on 8.0 too. The only thing that I can't see for some reason is the Menu button that should normally be in the upper right next to the paper w/ check on it. I have hardware buttons instead of NavBar (right now), so it is probably linked to that. Trying to get a new feel for the new phone and coming from the Shamu, it's taking me some time.
Something to look at though: take a peep under the Hide tags in my signature and check out the Android_ID link. After a clean flash, the very first thing I do is install Terminal and run that command to restore my AID.
Glad you got it sorted though. I am finding that this device is riddled with all sorts of gremlins.

Yes, very strange. During my various tests I flashed OpenGapps pico package and I saw a blank line while setting up my Gmail account. This blank line (probably a bug) is near a storage icon and it was disabled...
A few days ago I also flashed an OpenGapps package (several microG users - and maybe Gapps users - had FCs with the Play Store so I wanted to test with a Gapps package). I don't remember but maybe I disabled the option at this moment.
So during this clean flash I enabled it. idk if it's related to this mess but I think that's the only thing that can explain that my problem is solved (TiBu v8.0.0).
As for your Menu button, I don't see which button you are talking about. I also use the hw buttons and I have never needed a Menu button.
Coming from the Nexus 5 I spent a lot of time reading the 3/3T forums. Filesystems, encryption, OnePlus specifications (WiFi modules, custom ROM/nandroid backups based on OOS firmwares for instance),... and everything is not fully clear lol. I have all my data backed up on Nextcloud so I can test again and again. It seems to be pretty hard to really brick this device. We just have to be careful while flashing files (a confusion between 3 and 3T could be easy, not all threads are unified, or clicking on the wrong link).
I'm used to installing custom ROMs without restoring the Android ID for more than a year. I doubt this could be related to my problem but I'll give it a try so it happens again, thanks.

Good luck with your 3T, an awesome device despite all those headaches

Yeah but I don't want to do that for each clean flash
At the end I have this issue each time I clean flash.
Restoring the Android ID doesn't help.
I just wait a moment, clear app data, reboot then the Play Store detects my apps... and I use an addon.d script for dirty flash.

Whatsapp not installing in any rom.

Hi there, i'm quite confused and desperate. I was on Computerfreaks stock rom for a while untill i decided i needed to change the flavor of my device a little bit and installed RR 6.0.
Sadly it came with a lot of bugs, one day it logged me out of my whatsapp account every hour and i had to do all the first-time setup again, so i grew tired of it and installed the flashable stock 6.0 rom zip.
Everything was good, but then when i tried to install whatsapp google play would tell me that it couldn't install, error code 504. It had nothing to do with the avaliable storage obviously so then i did the whole google account removal/ erasing cache, uninstalling, rebooting, etc. Nothing, the mistake keep going. I downloaded the apk directly, and when i tried to install it, it wouldn't pass the setup and just display "app cannot be installed" only gaving me the option to accept it.
This is when i realized it had to be a bigger problem, so i switched roms ro RR 7.1.2, i could install the app.....however it simply crashed at launch, and wouldn't even allow me to complete the initial setup. I've changed the DPI, governors, tried with beta versions and older versions of the app, and nothing. I've tried with AOSP extended, Kang, and the roms mentioned above without success.
It's funny thought, every other app works wonderfully, it just this annoying thing that i actually need to use, that refuses to install.
In twrp i've wiped everything. System, Data, internal storage, dalvik, cache.
I've tried using another google account.
I just don't know what else to do.
Fun fact, i've also tried to see if this was the app's fault and just for the lolz i've installed it on my tablet.....it worked at the first installation like a charm.

I'm sorry you are having issues, but it has nothing to do with the ROMs you have used. How are you restoring data when you flash the new ROMs, if you are restoring data? Are you using Titanium Backup?
My wife and I are on RR 6.x and we both have and use What's App. Nothing is wrong with it. It doesn't log us out "every hour" -- never logs us out.
RR 6.x doesn't have "a lot of bugs" -- in fact it's rock stable and that's why I've stuck with it instead of going to Nougat ROMs. And because of xposed modules, which I am loathe to give up just yet.
Considering LOTS of people use What's App on all the ROMs you mentioned -- including my personal experience with two XT1225 on RR 6.X -- it's not the ROMs at fault in any way.
I know it's not the ROMs fault, I've ruled that out since I've changed 5 times of rom and it keeps failing. Yet I don't know what I should do to solve this problem. I'm not restoring any data, I've done a full clean install everytime, no xposed, even no root sometimes.
