Google play services Force Closing [HELP]

I've many others with the same issue. However there is no clear fix, other than don't update.
The latest Google play services 7.5.62-66 is a force closing nightmare.
I've completely wiped. I mean converted back to ext4 from f2fs. Installed cm12.1 fresh gapps from 5/19 and still force closes.
I've wiped all data/ cache from the apk, including Google settings apk data/cache. This stops it for a while. It always comes back with a torrent of FC's .
Its happened 8 times while typing this post.
I'm at a loss.

Make sure you have the one with the correct resolution installed, link Play Services apk`s http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/.

It's happening to a LOT of people. Oddly, it seems pretty random. Many are not affected. And since Google Play Services auto-updates in the background, those of us that are affected will eventually get hit again even if we downgrade. The clear app data/cache is the only "fix" I've seen thus far.
Interestingly, it seems to only happen for me on AOSP ROMs. I've had a stock image running for days without issues. I'll probably stay on stock till Google fixes it or someone finds a more promising workaround. It's annoying, but less annoying than constant FCs.

Sucks. I about to move to stock rom. I've tried so many things to fix it and it always comes back. Some hinted it could be a gapps problem, idk.
Gonna miss all my themes and customization.

Happening to me too on Euphoria with PA mini gapps and Temasek CM12.1 with banks gapps.

It seems to work for me. I'm using MultiROM, and I've been having FCs on every ROM I've tried, as well as various issues with the "Ok Google" voice command. If it pops up again I'll be sticking to the stock partition for awhile.

Probably is, but it's also kind of important issue.
It's not a "not working icon bug" it's a bug that's preventing you from using your phone. Kind of important, don't you agree ?

It was a joke

Workaround
I come up with a workaround for Google FC - using Tasker (with Secure Settings plugin) do the following on Shutdown and Boot:
1. Kill Google Play services
2. Clear Data for Google Play services
3. Clear Cache for Google Play services
So far haven't got Google FC, will see how it goes :crying:

[Q] Google Play Services Wakelock with CM Installer ROM, suggestions?

Hi,
Last year I've installed CM with the Installer (http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install) on my HTC One M7. It works like a charm but since then I haven't received any updates. After some searching I've found why: the CM version installed by the installer doesn't follow the default CM channels. Only stable releases done by CM itself can be installed with the updater. I'm currently running this build: cm_m7_userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q InstallerXNPQ32P release-keys from Aug 6 2014
But, my battery drains because of the Google Play Services "bug", see: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6438. It's fixed but since I've not received any updates I've got still trouble with this. So I've followed this tutorial to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/fix-fix-systemupdateservice-wakelock-t3060548. It worked for some days but then I was getting every x minutes a error that "Google Play Services stopped working". So I've searched around and did this: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...s-stopped-working.302508/page-2#post-11373191. It worked for some days but now the error is back AND my battery drains again.
My next thought was, installing the latest build from the default CM channels, so I went here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7 but I only see CM 12.1, not CM 11. Since I don't want to do a factory reset, backup everything and move over to Lollipop (just wanted to flash CM11 from the default channels over my current ROM to keep all settings, data and apps) I came here for some help.
What do you guys recommend? I've advised a lot of people to install CM through the installer to get rid of Sence and all HTC it's default apps to get easily a clean and faster smartphone. Even my girlfriend is running CM11 on her Samsung Galaxy S4 with the same problems. Backup all the phones and flash the latest roms takes some time... I've found two other possible solutions:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082 (but that's for Google Play Services version 7.3.29 (030), I'm running 7.5.74 (1997312-038))
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/script-google-play-services-battery-t3059585 (the first solutions sounds nice, but what will happen if Google updates the app?)
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Roy

Anyone?

I would recommend to try CM12 or to stay away from Cyanogenmod if you don't have the time to play with your phone (backing up / restoring / re-flashing). Cyanogenmod roms are great but rarely bug-free / stable.
Btw another good alternative if you want to get rid of HTC Sense roms is to use GPE rom which is also made by HTC and will ensure better stability and less bugs over other aosp roms like CM.

Thanks for your response! I've the time but as I told I've recommended a lot of people who don't have much knowledge about flashing roms to install CM with the CM Installer. So I'm searching for the easiest way to stop the wakelock.

When I was having that problem, I found this worked perfectly:

It work's like a charm but now "Google Services" uses a lot of battery. I don't remember if I disabled "com.google.android.gms/.gcm.nts.SchedulerInternalReceiver" too, so I did that today. Let's see what it does.
How can I see what specific process is taking so much battery? I see the app but I don't see what process/service it is...

You might be running into a fundamental CM11 issue with the Google Services battery use. For tracking the battery usage, I like BetterBatteryStats the best, in the section "Partial Wakelocks". It does a good job of showing what's keeping the phone awake.

scrolling lag/stutter?

Hi guys. I'm currently running Dr.ketans ROM, although I don't believe it's ROM related as it's happened on multiple roms. When scrolling or lock screen notificatiins pop up it lags and stutters, or opening apps ect it's not smooth at all. Anyone have any ideas how to stop it or fix it?
Thanks in advance, much appreciated ?

If you are not experiencing the same issues with the stock Samsung OS, then it sounds like an issue with the 3rd party OS.

I want to try that, but I have a **** load of apps and data that I use daily, plus work stuff and I'm not sure if I can recover it all after a reset. Although it's done it with nothing installed, always have 2.5gb ram plus free, and still have 60gb left ( plus 256 SD )
Any suggestions on backing up and restoring after a reset?

Try checking what apps you have enabled in 'accessibility' settings and try disabling them. For me I had major micro stutter through the UI and also in apps as soon as I enabled accessibility for LMT launcher, I disabled it and all was smooth again.

In android 9 stock there is a bug - when you change the wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper, if you swipe down the quick settings while the phone is locked/in the lock screen - it's super choppy.
Edit: I also reported it and on top of that in bug reports with logs. Waited two weeks to receive: "Thanks for your feedback. You SUGGESTION will be reviewed" rofl... great support and automated answers.

Most stable rom that performs well

I actually really like this phone, except for the lack of good roms. im trying to find a stable one thats atleast as fast as the stock eui rom. i tried lineage os earlier this year and instantly felt slow withing 10 seconds of using it.

Gcam 6.2 works so well
I had 3 problem with it
Camera crashes after opening it for 10 - 15 times or when enabling face unlock(needs reboot)
Unable to send WhatsApp audio
My battery standby is poor (i used extensively for 3 years)
If you want most stable then go for stock(good if you debloat it) or small eui or try Android 6 or 7 roms. But you cant use gcam 6+ over there

I recently found a video from YouTube, where they used adb from pc to disable the bloatware. But you have to root the device to completely uninstall it, though it backfires sometimes and crashes system apps frequently.
Small eui is better(no bloatware) but it has aggressive ram and battery management so there are some issues like notification arriving late and longer background apps reloading time and also unable to customise the icons for default launcher

General Stock vs XiaomiEU smoothness experience.

Guys i recently jumped from stock Chinese to XiaomiEU. I noticed that the phone became laggy with animation.
This thread for those people who actually tried both choices (stock/XiaomiEU stable/beta)
Besides animation with micro lags on opening apps (a specially if they closed in recently menu) there is other weird stuff, example YouTube started to lags in scrolling. Google keyboard sometimes comes up late. Phone after restarting laggy first 2-3 min.
I switched back to full Chinese stock and im shocked how quick and smooth this phone is !
Please share your statistics if you switch from XiaomiEU back to stock.
In my opinion (with full respect to developer) stock debloted root it rom with adaway bringing you a Pixel smoothness... however I can't say similar about EU rom...
Regards

Yes I noticed it's not as smooth as well like not 120 fps all the time while navigating. Also noticed the YouTube scroll lag. If you turn on show fps in developer settings when you load up the YouTube app it drops to 60 fps only.

Definitely download getapps as your system apps won't update without it. The EU rom should be coming with it, it shouldn't be deleted it's imperative.

Yesterday, I manage to complete the task of intsalling xiaomi.eu ROM. At first it felt slow but looks like I was spoiled by 120hz on Chinese version. After changing back 120hz, it feels much better.
I will not vote yet as I am stil catching with my apps and awaiting first stable update to see the update process before making any decisions.
All in all, the main reason for this change was android auto for me. I tested and working which makes all this hassle worth for me. I will revert in due course about the smoothness...

Is There still a difference in speed and smoothness or has it leveled out by now ?
