[Q] Play store bug? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I haven't posted enough times to be able to post in a more appropriate location so I am forced to post here.
I have been having an issue when I download or update an app from the play store. Every time I update or install my phone basically lags out and I can't get any response from any touch. It will eventually catch up and return to normal funciton.
I was curious as to why it is doing this? I am currently running XenonHD stable version 5. It happened on stable version 4 too. I am currently using Franco Kernel 366 but it happen with the baked in kernels on XenonHD 4 & 5.
Any suggestions?

Well it's because the memory used on phones is quite slow compared to the rest of the phone, so whenever you install or update an app, and a large file is written to the disk, it basically blocks all other app from accessing their resources.
It's a general problem on android and one that is not easily solved, because unlike iOS, android does not pause all background processes whenever response to user-input is expected.

I too had this problem. Not on one ROM but several. Changing kernel did not eliminate it even. What worked for me are those roms that are close to stock as possible and gone of all bloatware. Try rasbean or atom. They solved the playstore lag for me.

Of topic, but this is the appropriate section. The dev forum, which is where I assume you desired to post it, is nowhere near the appropriate place.

Nova 3 on jb

Hi first off I want to say I searched but I couldn't find anything near relevant. I am currently on vicious jb rom for Toro whenever I open nova 3 it instantly force closes I have already downloaded the game files and I am way past my 15 minute refund policy. I understand that is currently not supported but is there any way to get it to work? I have seen others mess with the build prop to allow there unsupported phone to use the app I was wondering if you could do something similar here.

Google play movie freeze

I purchased 3 movies through the Google Play store. I can download them or stream them. My Nexus 7 will play the movie fine but my galaxy s3 will only play the first 9 seconds. The phone just stops at 9 sec then it will kinda "boot loop" that 9 seconds until I exit. Not an actual boot loop, just the best way to describe the problem. What can I do to fix this? I want to play movies on my phone while away from my Nexus 7. The phone is rooted running stock 4.0.4 I747UCLEM
Thanks
I have the same issue. I'm running rooted Nostalgia 7.5 UCALH1 ROM
I also have this issue
In just guessing, but it may be because your rooted.
My tablet is rooted but doesn't do this
I also have this problem. Tried to watch the walking dead in hd on the google play movies app. At 9 seconds it goes into loop until i stop it. Any kther ideas besides that we r rooted? I would really like to watch the new walking dead lol.
Thanks
I am also having this problem on Jellybean. Downloading my movie now to see if it's just with streaming.
Downloading it made no difference.. Still crapped out at 9 seconds
I'm having the same issue. Thought maybe because I was rooted but that gives you an error message and wouldn't let you actually start streaming. Works great on my Nexus 7 but I get exactly 9 seconds in as well.
Are you on a DeOdex'd ROM too? I have not seen it on an odex'd rom or CM10... Just DeOdex'd TouchWiz.

Yeah. Running Frosty JB right now. Just flashed Toasted Marshmallow by ...Awesome... now. Gonna restore to Frosty in a little bit, odex it and find out if that solves the problem.

Just odexed and couldn't get it to play past 9 seconds
[edit] Wanted to see if it was only on the S3 so I downloaded Google Play Movies to my fiance's phone, my old MyTouch 4G rooted and running ICS. Played no issues. Apparently this issue is isolated to the S3.

So I tested the issue out on a CM10 based ROM with no issue...what ROMs are you guys all using with the 9 second freeze?
This is the ROM that works for me.

I'm on JellyBombed v11 and have the same 9 second freeze. I even restored back to the stock rom (still rooted) and i got the freeze.
Is it confirmed that CM10 based roms don't have this issue? Thx for the help, glad i'm not alone in this.
I have this problem as well. Galaxy S3 T999. Currently running Wicked ROM v7. It's a TW based ROM. I just uninstalled it for now. Luckily all I got were some free TV episodes, and didn't actually sink any money into it.

Was there ever a solution to this problem? Its made its way over to the S4.

An official one, no. However I do not have the issue anymore. The only thing that I can think of is that I am using a slightly modified kernel by freeza found in his deodexed MD4 thread. There might be a list of tweaks done to the kernel in there. Or try asking him.
Hope this helps!

Same issue...
Has anyone got any more info on this? I have the same issue with a sprint s4.
I'm also seeing something similar on an M919 S4. I do think it may be kernel-related, because I didn't see it on stock; I only got it once I tried to flash a Google Play Edition rom (mrvirginia's "Virgin Rom," which does use a custom kernel). But it also seems a bit idiosyncratic, since there's only one other person in the thread about that rom who has mentioned it, which suggests it's not a widespread problem.
My problem is slightly different than the one described here, though; it still plays to precisely nine seconds and then freezes, but rather than a "boot loop" (which to me suggests it keeps restarting from the beginning and playing to that point), mine screeches to a halt, with the screen not moving apart from a few graphical glitches, and making terrible noises. The "nine seconds" aspect makes me pretty certain it's a fundamentally similar problem, though.
As a side note, I sort of wish Google had chosen a better name for the app than "Google Play Movies," because it's seriously difficult to search for this bug with such generic terms.
I'm currently having the 9 second issue as well, ever since I updated to MJA on my Sprint S4. I've used the stock kernel and KTkernel, still the same issue (I'm currently sitting stock, rooted). Hopefully the update to MK2 might alleviate the bug.
Update: The MK2 update fixed the issue with Play Movies.

anyone else?
I have the same issue.
Clearing the cache did not help.

Same here... with different ROMs. It started yesterday when I had a 4.1.2 custom ROM. It shows the same behaviour after wiping everything and flashing several 4.1 or 4.2.1 ROMs.
Same here. I think It's a javascript error, but disable javascript is not a good solution.
I hope it's not intentionally bug creation to make users use chrome browser.
Same here. I've even gone back and reloaded a couple of backup roms I had saved that I know worked fine and all the 3rd party browsers fc.
Hmm, I couldn't replicate the issue. Sites are opening fine for me desktop and mobile versions alike.
I have a GSM GNex, i9250, stock 4.2.1, rooted, custom recovery.

It is not FC exactly. It just closes on you. It happens to me while I browse phonearena.com

Are ther any news about this issue? It definitely does not occur on all webpages, but on some. The next thing I will try is to use a different browser.
Try disabling flash in browser settings or just switch on demand.
I noticed it closes on sites with high flash content

Thanks for the hint. What actually seems to work is disabling javascript.

I am experiencing the same issue
Jelly bean sorcery3.1 (android 4.2.1)
Phone now seems sluggish in general and the browser seems to be force closing all the time
Also getting a lot of SOD's and general unresponsiveness
Weird thing is I've been on this rom for a while and it just recently seems to be doing this
edit: my mistake, my rom is actually 4.1.2 so maybe its an unrelated problem but my browser is still extremely unstable
It seems unrelated to the android version you are running. My 4.1.2 tablet browser started crashing also recently. To complicate matters browsing in incognito mode seems to solve problems even with javascript enabled.

I have the same issue. Was on an AOSP 4.2.1 ROM and switched back to a 4.1.2 instead (fresh wipe/flash, even formatted system before flashing 4.1.2 ROM) and still getting it with the stock browser. Visited the same websites on the chrome browser and no closes. You guys are right though, it's not a normal "FC". It just closes and brings you back to the homescreen, almost like if you just hit the home button. When I go to open the browser back up, sometimes the page will load back up from scratch, but sometimes it will just bring me to blank page (my homepage) and I have to start all over to get back where I was.
EDIT:
Also commented on the link above and voted on it.
I have exactly the same issue. I just purchased the gn 2 days ago. I let it update from the stock image. I only rooted and added busybox with a to available here on xda.
With some site the browser window disappear. I also noticed that all tabs are gone when I open the browser again: it just reset all open windows.

I think that Google Play Services were auto updated. I'm not sure if this is what resolved the issue.

*Near Perfect* ShinyROM [AOSP 4.4.2] KOT49H (No mods, completely stock!)

ORIGINAL CREDIT TO BALDWINGUY77 OVER ON ROOTZWIKI. CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL THREAD HERE
This ROM is Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat, build KOT49H. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.2, build KOT49H
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
(De)Odexed
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Believe it or not, December is still a month!
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)
More things that aren't important enough to mention here - check out the changelog for a more comprehensive list
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: You can flash all of these ZIPs in CWM or TWRP)
ROM
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's Superuser Root ZIP, the radios installation ZIP, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. If you are updating your radios, flash FK01_FK02_Radios-signed.zip
11. If you are updating your bootloader, flash PRIMEMD04-signed.zip
12. Flash the ROM (baldwinguy77_toro_aosp...signed.zip)
13. If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!
Download it noooooooowwwww: here, instant dl.
This isn't mine, if you have questions feel free to ask.
The lag can be fixed (apparently) by using a custom kernel like Mpokang.
I am sure this will get deleted... Xda doesn't like links to that other site....

Switched over to ShinyROM 4.3.x after running mmuzzy's ROMs for quite some time. Both devs are busy but are great with supporting their builds. If you're looking for a natural follow up to mmuzzy 4.2.2, I'd suggest Shiny 4.3.1. Like mmuzzy's ROMs, it's rock solid, close to stock and seems to be very compatible with the leaked 4.4 apps.

If you alter anything under settings ie changing from 3g to LTE after reboot you will only be able to obtain 3g. After clean install upon booting up immediately reboot to continue set up. 4g loads up everytime

But definitely has the graphics glitches. These are going to be present in every 4.4 for gnex until they figure it the new graphics drivers from what I've read.
Other than the graphics I haven't run into any issues. GPS works.. Not sure on Bluetooth as I don't use it. Using mpokang 1080 kernel.

Ok, so I don't have a SIM in this device right now. WiFi works just fine. I did have a reboot while trying to back out of Chrome tho. Still browsing, but the install and root were super easy.

NOTE: This is pre-nightly status. It is very likely things will go wrong. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for damage to your device.
Everything should be working now.
If you find any issues let me know.
NOTE: You must flash from CWM. TWRP has issues flashing 4.4 roms currently.

Booted up!! first thing i noticed there is no google now, only the search bar so i can search but no cards
Edit: i got it by putting the google now widget on a screen and it prompted me to get google now.
Yeah the Google now issue has to do with Cyanogenmod's hooks into the setup process. It currently overrides the question about Google Now. You can manually enable it by opening Google Settings and toggling it on.
For the rotation issue -Landscape/protrait... Use the "Ultimate rotation control" from Play. works great.:good:
Getting a Status 7. Any idea on howto fix this?
Use cwm6.0.4.3 for 4.4. The others wont work at the moment.
Wow that's very smooth and fast ! But video playback is broken. Promising ...
Flashed this rom and everything works fine except of video playback, but I know its cause of the binarys?
Another thing i noticed is that the google launcher runs very slow and laggy. Anyone noticed that to?
Anyways...looking forward to the next build

*facepalm* I'm ashamed at how easy this really was. but If anyone is still wondering how to get Google now again, just press and hold on the homescreen and click the settings icon, then enable it.
Wanted to try this, but after updating from my CM 10.2 nightly, I got stuck in the CM logo for 5 minutes before going back to recovery and restoring my backup. I used the latest CWM version available (6.0.4.3). Any ideas?
It's certainly need a full wipe : Factory reset + format system

You didn't have to wipe SD card data right?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
Factory reset don't wipe sdcard (data/media in cwm). But all application datas will be lost
Yes, it's true I didn't wipe. It was never needed when upgrading from one CM version to the other. Not from 9 to 10, not from 10 to 10.1, etc. I'm not talking about N10, just about devices I had CM running previously.
It doesn't make any sense wiping for no apparent reason. Google doesn't require you to wipe from one version to the other, neither does Apple. So far this was the case for CM as well, which of course is based on Google's OS.
