OK so here's my story,
I'm rooted on stock ICS and I flashed google now which worked but then I flashed an S-Voice zip through recovery that was reported to work but it didn't work. No my problem is that no matter what I do on the phone, even regular use, my phone freezes for no less than 10 seconds and then say that the tts engine stopped working (both the google and samsung ones). Even checking the settings results in a freeze and half the time I can't enter the tts settings because of this. One of the times I did get in the samsung tts settings had no languages installed (maybe this is the problem?) but couldn't find a way to install any, for google I couldn't even enter those settings. I'm assuming the problem happened because of the s-voice flash because google now worked flawlessly until I flashed s-voice.
I was incredibly stupid and flash-happy and new-phone-happy that I have no backup through recovery (yes, I know, I'm an idiot) so I can't restore anything. I tried a factory reset and nothing, still get the problem. Google search still works regularly so I'm assuming its nothing to do with that. I am at a brick wall now and have no idea what to do sans flashing a stock ICS rom through Odin. I don't want to have to go there if I don't have to.
So anyone have any suggestions or am I screwed?

If anyone is able to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
I installed Google Wallet (via this APK) when I first got my Verizon LTE GN a few weeks back. I've since used the app daily and it has worked perfectly, up until this evening.
Today, for the first time ever, I decided to unlock my bootloader in order to root my device--all of which went smoothly. I then re-downloaded the above GW APK (since unlocking wiped my device) but now when I launch the application, the screen stays at "Initializing your device - This may take a few minutes depending on your network connection." The application doesn't freeze (the circle continues to spin), but after 30 minutes of waiting, still, nothing has happened. I've tried reinstalling the APK but that does nothing. I have 4G connectivity and have tried over WiFi also.
I am running stock recovery, stock ROM, stock everything on 4.0.2. All I did was unlock the bootloader & root the device. I've done quite a bit of searching but have been unable to find a solution. Does anyone know what may be causing the issue or what I could do to fix it? I really enjoy using the application
I'm having a pretty similar problem.
CDMA Galaxy Nexus.
When I first got the phone, I downloaded the Google Wallet apk and it worked fine. Used it a few times out in the real world.
Today, used the wug unlock/root method, and installed a custom rom.
Though the rom feature log said it contained Google Wallet, it did not.
I redownloaded the original APK that I had used and it installed, but now I get this "Unfortunately wallet has stopped" message every time.
In fact, it comes up on the screen at random intrevals.
Not sure if there's anything I can do.
Do you guys have NFC enabled from the settings menu?
Also, did you try disabling and re-enabling NFC? It's different hardware, but after flashing one ROM I had to disable/re-enable GPS before it would work... worth a shot.
Google earth not working since flashing..
Hi, I first flashed about a month ago now, starting with Vicious and since then I can't get past the startup for GE. I did a few other roms, and now I'm using CM 10 but still no luck. With Vicious I was able to get it to work by doing the uninstall updates option because it was 'baked in', but that meant I couldn't use the latest version. With all the other roms you have to download it from Play, and all GE does is crash at the activity circle.
I'm still getting the hang of things, I tried the fix permissions in rom manager, and tried clearing the caches in the app. Google search hasn't shown this to be a reported problem and I don't see any thing here about it. Google earth isn't critical but i enjoy passing the time with it and would like to get it working again, so any Idea on a fix?
I've been using Android Revolution 9.2 and this morning installed 10.0. Everything was working fine for a while, then all of a sudden the GAPPS process started force-closing and I lost all access to the Play Store. I would click on the play store icon and it would just bounce me back to the launcher (in this case, Nova Launcher 2.0). I decided I need to reflash Android Rev HD 10.0 (I have CWM Recovery 6.0.1 installed). The AROMA installer would start, but it would always lock up at some point before the installation began, usually at the prompt to backup the efs partition, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I haven't been able to get a clean flash started. I even tried to go back to 9.2, but the same thing is happening.
I did a factory reset hoping it would fix the problem, but the GAPPS process continues to crash and I can't access google to restore my apps. So I'm really up **** creek here. Am I looking at a bad RAM problem all of a sudden? (god, I hope not!).
Any help/advice would be welcome.

I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,

Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.
I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?
Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.
I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)
Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.
