[Q] CM7 - Everithing FC bug, solved i think!

Old info:
Hi, i've a Captivate, with the latest build of CM7.
Today, again, I had an error, which made ​​me FC in all applications (Google Search, Google services, Browser, Angry Birds, background apps) and went on the WiFi automatically.
When I turn off the WiFi, it automatically turns on again.
It's like the fourth time it happens (this is the first time it happens after a full format flash!), with some Builds of CM7, and apparently the only way to fix this is by reinstalling the ROM.
There is nothing in particular that seems to start the bug. It just happen!!

New Info!! (Solution?):
Today, i've installed the latest Nightly (kang) from Atinm, dated 29 May.
After a few hours playing with it, the Stock Browser crashed to Home, and again, everything FC!!
Fighting against the constants FC of everyapp, i managed to get into Advanced Task Killer, and i saw that the CM FOTAKill app was open.
Everytime that the FC bug happened, the FOTAKill app was open, so...
I deleted it from /system/app/, rebooted and the problem was solved!!!

Strange indeed. Going into recovery and wiping your data, and caches doesn't seem to fix it?

I've heard the latest build of cm7 is stangely buggy, I suggest "downgrading" to an earlier version.

are you talking about build #16?
I stopped upgrading at 13.. They started coming out buggy like you said. haven't tried 16. One user reported it working really well.

Bump for fixed problem!

Unfortunately, [...] has stopped working

Right, so I installed the latest CM 4.4, then I noticed gapps wasn't there. So when I went to the gapps site I could only find gapps for 4.3, so I installed that thinking it would do no harm.
Now my phone is constantly showing me messages of various different processes crashing "Unfortunately, [...] has stopped working". I did wipe and reinstalled, the problem was still there. I did a wipe and installed 4.4 PAC, problem is still there. What the hell is going on?
Thanks.
Edit: I fixed it now by installing the proper GAPPs.

HTC M7, CM update 12.1 to 13, play services is stopped

Hi All,
I was running CM12.1 on my HTC One M7 and I saw there was a new update (OTA) so I've downloaded it and installed it from the recovery. Afterwards it was a CM13 update but it went well (a "dirty flash") but as soon as CM booted the first time I did get a lot of "play services is stopped" errors. So I thought, Gapps is not compatible so I've downloaded the latest version from http://opengapps.org, the nano version. Flashed it, cleared the dalvik cache and rebooted.
Now the Google Play store is working again and I won't get any "play services is stopped" messages but other Google apps like Gmail and Youtube crashes directly when I open them. Maybe I've to try the "stock" version of Gapps?
Any thoughts?

Try a clean install, thats what you should always do when installing a major update.

I'm afraid I've too... but it's a OTA update (CM Nightly) so I've to pay more attention on what updates I install and won't install, didn't see it was CM13. Now trying to install the stock version of Gapps (with all the apps instead of the nano version). I hope it works, don't have the time to do a clean install with backups and stuff now.

I've installed the "stock" version of GApps and now everything is working fine.

Broken (tk, open) gapps problem 505ing on all crucial updates

I cant seem to find a reliable gapps for CM12.1, SlimLP and Resurrection Remix. I have tried Dankomans slim mini, TkGapps, OpenGapps pico, nano, full, they all install just fine but then when the system boots and i try to login to the play store to update my apps they all start 505ing and its usually just google apps and services, i seem to be able to install other non google apps just fine.
If someone could help point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it, ive been flashing for hours, im at my wits end. :crying::crying::crying:

Open GAaps arm/5.1/nano works fine. Your problem lies elsewhere. Be sure to do a full wipe and flash GAaps concurrent with rom. Leave FlashFire defaults alone.

I tried to use Open Gapps and it didnt work for SlimLP, so I installed CM12.1 with Open Gapps, I am getting the same problems with CM12.1, So i said lets try another rom, I installed Resurrection Remix, same problem, so i tried tkgapps same thing. why is it 505ing with every gapps package and rom that i Use? is there something im doing wrong? Perhaps the newer builds on open gapps have probelms? Should i try an older build? I am using flashfire 0.53
Here is what i do when flashing list order first to last:
1. Wipe: System Data, 3rd Party apps, Dalvik, Internal storage, Cache Partition
2. Install Rom.xxx.zip (default ff settings)
3. install SuperSU (default settings)(if necessary)
4. Install Gapps package (Default ff settings)
everything goes through smoothly, i get to a good running environment. Then, once I add my google account and open the store, it attempts to check for updates. Updates are usually available for google webview etc, they all fail with a 505. Tried, removing account then signing back in, changing time, clearing cache stopping processes, nothing seems to solve the issue.

so ive finally encountered a solution to at least get everything running. Install CM12.1 with TKgapps (tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150920-signed.zip) NOT opengapps. Not sure why opengapps isnt working right now but its not, with no rom that i have tried (fire 7" 2015) other versions of tkgapps didnt work either they also 505ed on me, but these ones work great.

Still hoping for good working gapps for SlimLP (my favorite so far)

yeah... so even after all of that, i woke up just to find it 505ing again. fml.
i have never had this problem with any rom for any other device, EVER. this is so frustrating.

I gave up on finding a fully functional gapps package for any roms on this device. What I did is just force update every apk 505ing on me through ADB. Everything is running smoothly now. Will update if anything changes. (should have done this like 5 hours ago... but when you are tired you dont think straight... hahahaha)

Sorry to hear of all the problems w/GAaps packages. Seems to be a 1-off as a large community uses Open GAaps on this device w/o issue. Multiple ROMs.

Google Now and others resetting when phone restarts (please help!)

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!
