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?
Hi there,
I got a refurbished otter at the beginning of the week. I followed the guides here to install FFF, TWRP and CM11 on it.
First, a big thanks to everyone involved.
I'm getting what look like UI crashes, which I've been able to reproduce with Firefox but it seems they are not limited to it.
To reproduce:
flash FFF, TWRP and CM11 M6
install FF from the Play Store
configure Firefox sync
browse to any page
I should note that I configured my Google account at boot, and that I use a Hebrew locale.
On my device, I get a blank screen, followed by a return to the launcher or previously opened app, followed by more crashes until the CM boot animation shows on top of the launcher. When it completes, a dialogue appears noting the system UI has stopped working. It returns after confirming the message.
Should I report this to Mozilla and/or CM? I'd like to collect more information, where can I find any relevant logs? If so, is it possible to increase the logs' verbosity?
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting those same notification/notification bar/UI crashes on Nook HD+ using CM11 (nightlies and M6). I don't use firefox, so that is not your problem
I was actually getting them more in the previous nightly builds. CM11 M6 seems to have helped a little.
Mine happen seemingly randomly when I get notifications for a new email or hangout and I try to swipe down the notification bar to see what they are.
I've tried wiping the davlik, the entire cache, and even doing a factory reset. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone else have some advice?

I have the exact same issue for about 2 months i believe.
This happens usually when pulling the notification panel down. It think it happens when you chain a lot of actions one after other. Like unlocking phone and pulling down the notification than tapping another thing etc...etc...
Hope this will be fixed soon, it usually disturbs the usage a lot. I was hoping M6 would solve that.
Back to m5 guys, my Galaxy Nexus has the same problem here, so I revert back to m5 and everything works fine, except the stock browser has startup crash sometime
Does anyone know if the devs are aware of this issue?
I just reproduced this on today's OtterX CM build.
I'm having the same problem. Had been running one of the earlier nightlies without any notification bar problems at all. Updated to the M6 release and now this problem occurs every few minutes. System is now totally unstable with M6. Firefox crashes more frequently now too.
CYAN-4047, if anyone's interested.

ARG! Sure wish I had seen this before spending the whole day restoring my Kindle to the older nightly after having to wipe it.

I followed your steps exactly and I am not able to get this problem to occur. Are there any other steps you you may have omitted? Any other apps you installed or any other actions you performed in addition to what you listed here? Also, are you sure it's "any page"? Is there a specific site you were trying to go to when this happened? I'm trying to work on a fix for this issue and was hoping I could reproduce the problem based on your information but my device is still functioning fine. The more information you can provide the better and ideally I'd like something that can be reproduced consistently.

Since I have now reflashed back to my older nightly I can't give you exact steps but here is what I experienced. I also got a stock KF a while ago and since I didn't want the stock release, followed the instructions to reflash it. At that point I did the full device wipe and flashed the 20140407 nightly build. No problems at all, the system ran beautifully. This week, I got the notification that M6 was available for installation so I went to Settings->About tablet->CM Updates->Available Updates and clicked the download. It downloaded and installed without any problem. Rebooted and problems began immediately. Firefox was immediately unstable and began crashing frequently. The "UI" would hang and go black then crash and come back up in lock screen. Pulling the notification bar open would hang and then the system would crash. Things really became completely unuseable.
So today I tried rolling back to the previous nightly that had worked well. This time, I didn't wipe the device, just reinstalled the nightly and wiped the cache after installation. See my previous thread about how that turned out. The status bar was totally hosed, the quick settings panel didn't work, the home button didn't work, the extended power menu was gone. Just a complete mess. So... I wiped the device and reinstalled the nightly and brought everything back to life again.
Now I don't know if the issues were caused by a flakey M6 release, or the installation process which left some droppings behind as I didn't try installing the M6 release after a full wipe. But I do know that after a full wipe the 20140407 nightly is working without a problem. I can't say for sure but my expectation is that it had something to do with the installation process not doing a clean install rather than a bad M6 release.
I made a test build which reverts a change I suspect may be the culprit. If anyone cares to try it out, here is the link. Please do not go around sharing this will a lot of people since it is currently hosted on Dropbox and they will throttle it if too much traffic is received.

Dropbox is still syncing so if you get an error 404 just try again in a couple minutes.

I saw in the bug report you've already found a way to reproduce, but just in case, as I wrote there I've found it reproduces by installing Adblock Plus - I close the app completely in the app drawer to make sure FF restarts with the add-on installed. After it restarts it should show a quick configuration page where you can enable blocking of secondary things like tracking and malware. In the first paragraph is a link to another settings page. In this other page all I have to do is zoom in or scroll around and most of the time I'll get a crash within a minute.

Downloaded, will be tested later today (in about 12 hours).
Edit: been testing this for about an hour now. The system seems very stable, even more than M5.

It looks like there has been a fix for this problem. Has the fix been incorporated into one of the nightly builds or is it still only available as a patch?

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in one of the nightly builds? Has anyone tried any of the post M6 nightly builds yet?

Had the same issue with M6 but now I thing they have fixed the issue, not sure which nightly build but build dated 20140602 fixed the issue for me.
I did a clean install.
Followed following steps.
1. Boot into recovery(CWM).
2. Factory Reset.
3. Cleared Dalvik cache.
4. Installed zip and run "defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip"
5. Installed "cm-11-20140602-NIGHTLY- i9300"
6. Installed Gapps for kitkat.
7. Reboot.
I have not faced the same UI crash issue so far will update if I face in future .
For "defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip" refer following link(I used the first one):

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.
Good morning! Alright. So. All I've done to my phone was Root it and get Xposed on it. Everything was completely fine until last night. Now, whenever I try to download anything from the Playstore, it just gets stuck on "Downloading". I've tried wiping its cache, its data, force closing it, reinstalling the update. Nothing seems to solve this issue. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on this phone, and how they resolved it? I can't even update my applications, and I didn't even get a chance to Update my Phone, but now when I try to Scan for Updates, it just gets stuck searching :/
This happened to me at first. What worked for me for a couple days was to toggle airplane mode. Then, it started getting stuck again. So, I downloaded Beans GAPPS, and extracted Google Play services and Play Store.apk, and that seems to be working. Keep in mind, that not everything is going to work smoothly. If none of this works, look for the .apk and move it to your device and install it that way. Hope that helps, bud.
I tried Googling Beans GApps, but it seems like they haven't been updated in about a year. Or am I looking in the wrong places?
This has also been my problem since getting a pixel 2 xl almost a month ago. In fact, I wanted to make a thread about my issue earlier but I'm just too lazy! The only thing I did at first was to unlock the bootloader.
Now, I am completely stock without even root but my playstore downloads are stuck in "downloading" and usually the download starts after being stuck in this phase with about 15-30 minutes delay (which could even be hours before my download is finally started, so it's random). The funny thing is playstore lists my device certification status as "uncertified" in the settings. I have tried clearing cache+data of play services+play store+removing/adding my Google account. I also did a fresh and clean install of the May security update rom but all to no avail. I remember reading in another thread that Google may impose a 7 day lock or something for your Google account in these instances so at this point I am just waiting it out (only 3-4 more days remaining) to see if my problem goes away by itself, otherwise, I am pretty clueless as to what I should do next.
