Unfortunately..everything stopped working - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi
I was prepping my Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2 GSM to be flash with it's first custom rom.
I rooted it while ago, and I've been flashing Rom since my Nexus One, but this is the first time I had my phone with particular issue.
I wiped dalvik and did a backup of the phone via CWM 6.x recovery, after rebooting the phone, nothing worked. I've had literally ALL my apps crash.
Crash with "Unfortunately XXXXXX" has stopped working with everything from the Google Play Store to my Rom Manager.
Any assistance with be appreciated.

Restore your backup from before the issues happened.

Oh will do, but any particular reason why it crashed?
EDIT: Found out the reason, my internal memory was full. Like 0.00kb left.
Deleted 20 apps, and some photos helped.

CDMA Apex V1.0.0 Problems

This post should really be in the Apex thread in the CDMA Development forum, but silly forum rules won't let me post there. Hopefully a couple people here can offer some insight into the problem I'm experiencing.
I've been using Apex since my Droid X and I've been enjoying Fab's modded 4.0.3 builds since the GNex has come out, but this new Apex version is running into serious problems with my phone.
It's acting like my internal memory is corrupted or it can't mount the "SD Card". The phone behaves OK until I try to access any info on the "SD card" (for example File Manager or Gallery or App settings or Titanium) then the phone becomes unresponsive and everything starts force closing. Also, the PC cannot see my phone's memory when plugged in.
If I restore a Nandroid backup of BigXie Build 4 or Stock Rooted, everything works fine.
I have tried wiping cache and dalvik then installing over BigXie. I have restored to stock rooted, done a data reset, then installed. I even downloaded the ROM again in case I just had a bad download and tried the above methods, but every time I get the same problem.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Titanium Backup keeps crashing, am i alone?

Woke up today just to see that Titanium Backup had crashed during the scheduled backup tonight. Since then i haven't been able to do anything with it!
Sometimes it crashes right off the start, sometimes i can start a backup and have it crash about ~12-14% in. I tried going in to the settings and checking the "AUTO, indirect" setting that they recommend if you're having problems, but that didn't help either. (And it took me 3 tries to get in to the settings without it crashing!)
I've tried wiping all the app data, re-installing it, installing an older version (that they suggest on their website if having issues). I also tried re-setting the super user permissions for it. None of which helps!
I haven't found any information on it yet, so i assume i'm alone with this? Have anyone else been having the same issue?
Just emailed the support, but i imagine it will take at least a week for them to reply (if they do).
So, any suggestions?
EDIT: I just timed it and it appears to crash after approx 30 seconds, no matter what i do in the application. I Hope the developers sees this.
DOUBLE EDIT: It appears to be working again after updating to v4.9.0.1.
I don't do scheduled backups but the app hasn't failed me yet doing it manually.
well id suggest connecting to your pc and backup the titaniumbackup folder (that way you know all your backups are safe)
then making a nandroid backup
then flashing another ROM or just wiping and reflashing the same ROM you're using

The backups i have stored are outdated now, i've changed a lot since the last update. The plan all along was to do a titanium backup, sync it to dropbox, flash this rom, and then restore all my apps etc. So i'm really kind of out of options now, unless i download everything manually and set everything up again. Doesn't sound very fun tbh. I might just try to find an alternative to titanium, but i'd really like to get it working again. Nothing seems to help.
You are not alone!
Hi, just to say you are not alone. Your case 99% similar to mine.
Just encountered this freeze after the app update on 18/19 Mar and the app will freeze even when I do nothing in the app. And yes, what a coincidence, the app when backup under schedule has stopped (with screen save off) at 14% completion.
Tried the method of deleting the app data and reinstall the app and even worse, now the app stops right when launching after a moment of black screen.
Already filed email and log file to support hopefully there will be an answer...
Hi, I'm also having exactly the same problem with TBU. Am on the pro version.
This has been a problem for about a week now. Not sure if it doesn't play nicely with CM9 or the kernel i'm running. What are you guys running? I may re-flash stock ICS and see if it still gives me problems. Quick question, does reflashing stock ICS remove root? I read somewhere it does and just want to get some different opinons.
Am running a CM9 nightly with Franco Kernal on GMS Galaxy Nexus.

I am also on pro version. Mine is at stock 4.0.2.
And yes, if you re-flash stock you lose root and have to re-root.
I am very very suspecting the crash is something related to the license checking of pro-key so that will explain why the program will crash in 20-30 sec without any special action doing or launching in the app. Just my guess... Hope the support will answer back shortly...
Thanks for the help, have uninstalled for now, will you post if the dev gets back to you?
Interesting that it's happening across a range of different setups.

Oh my god! It works!!!!! I love you @andQlimax!
To all: Yes, the problem solved after I clear the cache and data of the play store. Beware that I also cleared out data of titanium backup before that when tackling the problem, but you may not need to...
IT WORKS!!!!!!!
Thanks, been without backups since play came. I had tried to clear Google Play Store cache but not data and that fixed it.

Thank you very much, guys!
After a few days of desperate waiting for an update of TB, you made my day. Clearing caches and data of Titanium and Google Play solved the problem.
I would've never solved this big distress without you guys, you r my saaaaaaaviors, my superheroes

Jelly Bean Freeze Issue

I updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 using Eftrant's method and did a complete wipe, re-installed and setup every application/game from the market but I've noticed that when I access places like Apps under Settings menu, using programs like Quick App Manager, the phone freezes or hangs. This problem was pretty bad in 4.1 but 4.1.1 seems to have improved it just a bit (not freezing/restarting as much). I thought that this was an application specific problem but doesn't look like it. Anybody having the same issue and have a solution/workaround?
Just to be clear, when I was running ICS the phone did not have a single instance of Freeze or Restart, I've been using this phone since January, so, it is not a problem with my phone either, just with the Jelly Bean update and the issue doesn't happen all the time only sometimes.
Have you tried doing a factory reset and running it without very many apps to see if it helps?
I have the same problem with Stock 4.1.1. Nothing helps (Full Wipe, No own Apps installed, Wipe cache, etc.). It randomly occurs in Settings/Apps. The Phone freezes and needs 1 Minute - Then "Settings isn't responding. Do you want to close it?"
To reproduce the problem: Slide in Settings/Apps from "DOWNLOADED" to "RUNNING" to "ALL" and back - a few times. Sometime the phone freezes.
Does it freeze at all with no apps installed? Can you pinpoint the freezes to a certain type of thing you're doing?

No, unfortunately not. With absolutely no apps installed the problem occurs less times but it is not gone. I think there is a bug.

Can anyone try to reproduce the issue? It seems to occur only after a full wipe and some apps installed.
Slide in Settings/Apps from "DOWNLOADED" to "RUNNING" to "ALL" and back - a few times. Sometime the phone freezes.
It also happens when you try to clear data/clear cache of a certain application like Browser, Gmail, Gallery, or any of the stock apps. A mentioned earlier the frequency of the phone freezing reduces if there are no applications installed. This definitely seems to be a bug that occurs when a lot of data about all the applications is being pulled at once. You can replicate the issue if you install an app like Quick App Manager which scans all apps when the app is started.

Thank you for the Info!
It was happening on my GN too. But now it's fine.
I used to flash 4.0.4 factory image and OTA to 4.1.1 many times(more than 6). It was fine without any app installed from google play. After about 60 apps, freeze in setting-apps. Jump in an app detail, back, in another, freeze.
Now it' OK. But unfortunately, I don't know which setting fixed it. I try a lot.
Do you use flipboard? Or any large number of fragment files in sdcard/android/ ? Try to clean. Set flipboard to use internal storage.
If freeze again, er.....the last method. wipe cache, factory reset, flash 4.0.4, install apps and then OTA 4.1.1. Instead of OTA 4.1.1 and then install apps.
hope you can understand my English, and this can help you.

"install apps and then OTA 4.1.1. Instead of OTA 4.1.1 and then install apps" fix the problem but i want to use a Custom ROM....
The Issue is listed on: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35101
It's weird. Such an easy freeze and so few reports about it.

Well I have the same problem. It generally happens to me after I delete apps via settings...apps.
enough to make me quit cell phones
Happens on my nexus constantly. Verizon has sent me two replacements, which I sent back because they did the same thing, with or without any apps installed. All have had 4.1.1. This problem does not occur on 4.0.4, which I have flashed to the devices after upgrading to 4.1.1 just to run some tests. There is clearly a bug in the vzw 4.1.1 update. It is very, very frustrating and happens regardless of the apps we try to force close, clear cache, etc. They do not have to be google apps as someone has posted. I can easily duplicate the issue and it has been witnessed by two different corporate locations across four reps. I hope we can get a flashable 4.1.2 update soon, I've tried a 4.1.2 rom briefly and have not had the phone freeze at all.
Happens to me. I re flashed the rom and all went wrll

Funny.
Though it seems that logcat doesn't even log the problem, the phone is frozen solid for a couple minutes when it does freeze. I'll pull a logcat.

Camera unresponsive

My camera for my Galaxy Nexus has been broke for the last several weeks.
When opened, a black screen opens before shortly thereafter giving the message "gallery is unresponsive" and force closes.
I restored to AOKP build 3, updated the ROM to build 4 and flashed that (after corresponding factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik).
Now the camera opens, shows the "take picture" etc buttons but still has a black screen and force closes.
I assume while flashing different ROMs I had restored using Titanium backup a system setting/app that caused this problem.
I understand this question has been asked, but I have to find a solution to my problem (I have done battery pull etc.)
Any help will be appreciated.
I should mention that I have had a couple messages over the previous couple weeks where it says "SIM card invalid" and phone restarts.
I have not had this message is several days.
have you tried a different ROM?
use RootBox 4.2.2
ive been using it no problems and amazing battery life, not to mention the smoothness and pure awesomeness of the ROM

Yes. Originally this problem happened shortly after flashing codename. With this ROM, a black screen would show and then "gallery is unresponsive."
I reverted to AOKP and flashed updated version. Now camera app opens, shows the take picture etc. buttons on bottom but where the actual picture should be stays black and gallery goes unresponsive.
Have also tried deleting camera apk and re-flashing a downloading camera zip file. Same problem.

Fast boot flash back to stock. If camera is still acting up then its more than likely hardware issues

do you get any messages after boy saying something like: com.xxx.xxx has unexpectedly stopped. this has happened to me to. you have to format your sd card. try that
remember to backup all your important file from the sd card to your computer EXCEPT the DCIM (where a'll your pictures and stuff are. anything related to the gallery don't backup)
Why not try a complete wipe.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
In that order
then fastboot back to stock as mentioned by namtombout.
If that doesn't work it is indeed a hardware issue.

I don't think I've got any of these messages..
I will attempt the complete wipe per instructions in this thread (simply working up to the time that I actually will go through with it). I'm thinking I must have restored some system settings/camera settings from titanium backup during one of my recent ROM changes.
My battery life has been awfully poor lately as well....wondering if the restore of some system setting screwed with that as well...
Hopefully the complete wipe will get things back in order.

after you complete the wipe, DO NOT use titanium backup to restore your apps (even user apps). try fresh ones from the play store and see if that helps. if not im afraid you will have to go back to stock and then root again, flash a new ROM again, and then download your apps from the play store.
this problem has happened to me with my old phone (Samsung Captivate) but the formatting of the SD card fixed that for a while, when it started again i did the steps above and the phone worked better than ever.

Strange things happening

Today I wanted to upload the new P5210 OEM Rom P5210UEUANB2. So I set up ODIN and loaded without issues. I then installed TWRP and rooted. After all that was done, I started setting the system up to the way I like it by using NoBloat to remove apps. I must have removed one that was associated with my Play Store app. This app opens and then closes just as fast.
So the next thing I did was to restore to my last save which was yesterday. I restored and the problem followed. It should be noted that when I restored, the system went back to the previous version. I am guessing that it was something in one of the caches that did not clear. So I wiped all the caches and restored again. Same thing, Play Store opened and closed just as fast.
Next I loaded the OEM Rom of the version P5210UEUAMK1. Now I get to the setup wizard and it FC's in the middle of me answering questions.
I would like to completely clean this things clock and start fresh with the AMK1 rom. How would I do that in TWRP? Would I wipe both caches, data, system and internal storage? Or would I Format Data? I guess I could try, there has to be a very basic boot level eprom in the system to at least get it into download mode.
Waiting for some advise and appreciate any you can give. Thanks.

I think I found the problem. It was not anything I did last night, it was what I did a few days ago and saved as part of my backup. It would appear that I broke the Play Store but did not realize it until now. I restored the next oldest backup and everything is working as it should. I knew I should test certain apps before I do a backup. LOL
