Copy & paste text crashes apps. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Not sure if this is the right place to put this. Mods please move if necessary.
On my GS3, when select some text and tap copy, the app I am in crashes. It happens in every single time Plume and Chrome. I get the "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped" dialog. Sometimes I can copy text in Google Talk but when I try to paste in Chrome, it crashes.
Any ideas? Thanks.

There is not a simple answer to your question but first you need to see if there are others in the play store complaining about the same things. Its more than likely just gonna be different issues with those apps. But... also depending on the kernal and from you are using you can get the same problems with different apps. Like with this XDA app it always force closes tried different rooms kernels same issue. After the process of elimination I found out it was the XDA app that wasn't working correctly. If that is you case contact the developer they can fix it. Google maybe not so fast though

From dr3do on that forum:
1. boot recovery (CWM) > advanced > wipe cache
2. reboot phone > Root Explorer > delete /data/clipbord/*
3. reboot recovery again > advanved > fix permissions
4. reboot phone > it's fine

I'd start with just clearing the clipboard
ROOT your device, install ROOT Explorer, navigate to / > data > clipboard, select ALL and delete all, than go into your Settings > Applications Manager > All, look for TestServices, than remove updates/clear data. Reboot and everything should be fine.

I was unable to get root explorer to work if that doesn't work get root browser lite it worked perfectly for me

I had this problem as well. Not sure if it will be the same for you but I determined it only occurred with certain keyboards. I tested out a bunch of different keyboards from the Market and found the problem occurred with a lot of different keyboards. I ended up going with Smart Keyboard Pro. Haven't had the problem since I switched keyboards.

[Q] Three Different Problems. Need Help.

Im running the latest stable version of CM with Amon Ra recovery. It runs great except for these three problems.
1. I use the Zeam Home Launcher and every time I reboot the system resets it back to the default launcher. I press home and choose Zeam launcher, but none of my widgets load.
2. Is there a way to keep Wifi on even when the screen is turned off. I know this was a setting on MIUI, however I cant find a setting for CM7. I would like it to stay on all the time.
3. I have the latest version of the Market. When I search for an app it displays the total number of matches found in the top right corner. However, when I scroll down the list it ends after about 20-30 apps even though there its showing hundreds of matches. I then do the same search online, see all the available apps, and know for certain that they are compatible and can install them from online.
I have done a factory reset twice and reinstalled everything, including ROM and Recovery.
Thanks for reading and any help you might be able to provide.

1. When you choose the zeam launcher, make sure you check the box that says 'set as default' set your widgets. They should stick now.
2. Settings > Wireless settings > Wifi Settings > Press Menu > Advanced > Wifi sleep policy: set to never
3. If you keep manually scrolling the rest of the results should show up.
One Down....
1. Zeam launcher has been set to default launcher every time. Tried again with no success.
2. FIXED. Thanks. Why in the world would they make you press "Menu" inside of a menu window ? Seems weird to me.
3. Scrolling changes nothing. How would you NOT scroll manually anyways ? Not trying to be rude, just sayin.
One down, two to go !

3. Well some people would just see the bottom, and not continue scrolling [seen it happen] try clearing the market cache and data.
Try uninstalling adw launcher
And search games on market. Does it really only show 20-30 games..?

Have you tried installing a new market? [vending]
Download the latest CM7 gapps, extract the vending.apk [market], place it on your sd card, then install it.
I had the same problem with the Market, and I know others did too. Mine was only on occasion, but still obnoxious. So far the newest Market leaked from ICS (version 3.2.0) has fixed the problem for me. I couldn't install it over, I had to replace the apk in /system/app, set permissions (rw-r--r--) and reboot. Remove or rename any com.android.vending.apk you may have in /data/app, just in case. Backup your old Market in Titanium Backup or rename it so you can revert back if needed.
Link here: http://db.tt/pTvEmx4v
As for the launcher issue, I had similar problems when I was running CM7 way back on nightly 21 or something. Try updating to a newer version or downgrading to a previous version. Or you can try reflashing the rom over itself. You'll need to reinstall the new Market if you flash anything.

Launcher Issue
Notice: The stock launcher for CM is ADW Launcher. I'm not a big fan of it either so I've also replaced mine. Normally just installing a launcher from the market and selecting it as your default launcher (via the pop up window that displays when you have multiple launchers installed) is all it takes to make it a default. I normally wouldn't advocate changing your system apps. However, in your case it seems like the system just doesn't want to cooperate with you.
Here is how to do it.
1. Make sure ALL launchers are uninstalled. (except for ADW of course)
2. Download a root file explorer like ES File Explorer
3. Download Zeam Home Launcher's apk file to your SD card
4. Open ES File Explorer (or whatever root file manager you downloaded) and make sure your root folder is mounted (so that you can modify its contents instead of it being read only)
5. Copy Zeam Launcher apk from SD card to /System/App/
6. Delete the apk for ADW Launcher (the stock launcher) from /System/App/ (or you can just move it to your SD card in case you decide later that you want to use it again)
7. Reboot phone
8. Enjoy Zeam as your new PERMANENT stock launcher.

About Notification bar: is this a bug?

Hi guys, since I downloaded several wallpapers via chrome yesterday, I noticed that no matter how many times I cleared the "download complete" notifications, they would still appear again. Even just after I rebooted the device; and moreover, I also cleared the data of "download" and "chrome", they still appears anyhow!
Anyone has any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advanced.

I may just find the solution: I should clear the data of "download manager", not the "download". It seems ok now.

or you could just clear notifications and it will clear that
I had this same problem twice, but thought it was bug of ROM and installed another one :silly:
i had the same problem on 4.2. force stop and clear data of download manager in all apps did the job until i dloaded more files. turns out it was because i frooze download manager from starting up in system tuner app. i allowed it to start and problem was fixed.
however, touching the dloaded file from the notification bar does nothing. going into the download app and selecting the file leads me to ":/downloads/all_downloads does not exist" error. you actually have to go into root explorer or your file manager to open the file.
i do not like 4.2, at all. it's buggy as hell. i about to restore my 4.1.2 rom.

Android Media Process And Android Keyboard (AOSP) Using A Lot Of Cpu

For some reason I keep getting a warning from watchdog lite that Android Media process is using 20.3% cpu and Android keyboard is using 20% cpu. Please help.
Bump
This is generally caused by media becoming corrupted. Browse through any photos or videos you have and see if anything appears that way. Might be pixelated or picture may be all black. Delete any corrupted pictures and see if that corrects the problem.
Also, if possible post a logcat. This well help better to determine the cause of the keyboard as well as if the above doesn't correct the first part of your problem.

I have deleted all photos in the gallery yet it still uses a lot of CPU. How do you post a logcat?
As far as the media problem try this:
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All
2. Locate and select "Media Storage"
3. Select Force Close
4. Select Clear Data
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the app: Android Keyboard (AOSP)
6. Reboot your phone
Note: The above clears settings for the keyboard. If you have modified these settings, go back to Settings > Language and Input to re-modify those settings back to how you like after performing the above steps.
You'll notice some high CPU for these processes while they rebuild their databases, but after a while you should see them go down to normal usage.
What this does is clears the database for your media. When Media Storage encounters something corrupt it tries to endlessly rebuild the database. Since you cleared your media, let it rebuild the database from scratch and hopefully it won't encounter any issues.
how to install and save logcats:
---------------------------------
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Installing this is a little tricky. You will need a root explorer or you won't be able to see logs. Steps below:
1. Install from play store
2. Open root explorer and browse to your system root (not ur SD card, but actual system root.)
3.) go to /data/app and cut org.jtb.alogcat-1.apk
4.) go back to system root and now browse to: /system/app
5.) paste the file.
6.) set permissions to 0644 (-rw-r--r--)
7.) restart your phone.
Note: make sure you move or cut the file so that you don't have duplicate apps. If you do happen to copy, go back to /data/app after you have it copied and delete the original.
This app has to be a system app to function in 4.2.x android systems. The above process converts it to a system app.
Open alogcat from your appdrawer and press menu.
Select save. should save to your internal storage under alogcat/whateveryourlognameis.txt
Upload your logcat here and I'll review it.

any app installed in your device is in the all section unless you uninstalled something..

No. The problem is probably that you have some files your media scanner doesn't like and it hangs. Usually a format fixes this, unless you can find the file causing the issue.
I'm sure bwolf is probably correct but I've used rescan media when using certain ROMs ported from Verizon and it worked for me. It stops the media scanner and quickly scans. I don't believe I have any bad files so it may be a different problem altogether but maybe it is worth a try. I can't remember but I think its free.

Wasn't suggesting not to try it. Actually, the OP should definitely give it a try before formatting.
Sorry bwolf didn't mean to imply anything. Actually a full wipe of the internal SD cleared up other issues I've had with some ports and could've helped with the media scanner too but I never checked that part specifically.. If you decide to try a wipe, OP, don't forget to back up all your pics and vids if they are on internal SD and also copy any nandroid backups you want and titanium back up folder to external SD. You can then restore apps using TB from there. Just change folder location in prefrences. If you restore a nandroid backup it could also restore any issues.

Did not work. I pressed "Disable media scanner" and 3 minutes after that watchdog lite warns me that android media process is hogging CPU.
Remove all files from your sd card and then format it. It's also completely normal for media scanner service to run anytime you use it, especially during initial boot. I always stop the process after a boot, otherwise it'll run for 5-10 minutes nonstop and keep my cpu at max. It is suppose to stop eventually though.

Well if you uninstall your updates/clear cache/ and re login you will not loose any apps. It would just force your tab to download whatever apps have failed, and request new info from google (hopefully clearing your errors). From what I have seen, that 497 error has been happening a lot lately and when it does it fails on all downloads. Let me know if you try it, and what your results are. I am curious...

2. Google is set as 'Assistant Application'
2. Google Assistant is set in a supported language (Spanish-Spain). Even if I set it up as US-English, it does not work.
3. I've checked permission about voice and video recording inside Google Play Services
4. I got no other Voice Assistant
5. I'm not in battery saving mode.
*It used to work flawlessly about 3 months ago, idk what happened, I just installed Pixel Experience when it was 32 bits and since then I've installed Stock Debloated and right now I'm with the last 13th February 2018 LinageOS 8.1 64Bits build. None of them worked. All of the ROMs mentioned have Voice Match greyed out.

Try deleting cache and data from google search app, reboot and set up assistant again. It worked for me.
Hi guys ,
This problem that u have can occur if the Google app is not installed as a system app .
So to fix this ,follow the next few steps -
1) Convert Google app into system app using apps like Titanium backup or anything of your preference.
2) Using any root Explorer navigate to Root > system > app and search for an app named similar to 'googlesearchbox' and cut the app from this folder.
3) Now Navigate to Root > system > priv-app and paste the app.
4) Finally Reboot and now the problem will be gone

I just installed to system/priv-app and after reboot Google gave me the option to set my voice model.
So the problem was that I hadn't installed to system/priv-app but installed it into system/app. So, if you have this problem with the greyed out voice model option in Google app you have to:
1. Copy (don't cut) the 'Google' app folder:
1.1. If you have it as a system app and you still see greyed out the voice model option.- from root/system/app to root/system/priv-app
1.2. If you don't have it as a system app.- from root/data/app to root/system/priv-app
2. Reboot
Thank you @Vaibhav Kanna for taking the time to explain and thanks to everyone that helped in this thread.

Just to make it simple, flashing mini or micro gapps instead of Pico will install Google as system app by default.

Do you only need to move the Google app folder to system/priv-app or also the Google assistant app folder?

Are those apps in different folders? I thought they were the same app, because Assistant is integrsted into Google app? Anyways, the folder you are looking for is 'com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox'

Normally they aren't, it was my mistake. I installed the Google app and Google assistant app separately as I didn't know Google assistant could be activated via the Google search app. I've always installed gapps Pico for years so I was clearly not up to date with how the Google search app worked. Flashed the Nano package so it's a system app by default.
Now I'm trying to find a way to use "Hey Google" instead of "Ok Google"
If you're using pico gapps then install nano and it will work, did for me.
I transferred Google app to /system/priv-app and it works like a charm
Thanks @Vaibhav Kanna
Thanks @Vaibhav Kanna The easiest fix for me was to flash Nano Gapps instead of my Pico Gapps....
BTW @Avalon, Assistant now responds to "Hey Google" too.
