Whatsapp constantly crashing since v2.17.254 - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm running the latest LineageOS 14.1 on my Xperia Z3.
Since it's last update about 2 days ago to v2.17.254, WhatsApp crashes everytime I try to open it. It shows the usual info screen about possibly not supporting custom ROMs and after accepting that it crashes instantly.
Besides the updates, I made no changes to any software or settings whatsoever for more than a week. WhatsApp always worked flawlessly until now.
I already tried to uninstall -> reboot to recovery -> clear cache/dalvik cache -> reboot -> fresh install from playstore -----> instant crash again
Does anyone here have an idea what causes this problem and how to solve it?

Solved.
Problem was caused due to a clash with a coexisting substratum theme. Theme seems to only support whatsapp up to v2.17.223. Either delete theme and wait for it to support new version or downgrade app to .223
Thread solved, can be closed.

OmniROM 4.4 Randomly Crashes

Hey,
Sorry if this not the place for posting this.
I followed this "Guide: and installed the Rom
Flashed TWRP 2.6.3 with odin from the Toolkit (selected the TWRP instead the one in the toolkit folder) FR and FS, Installed the Rom without any problem, rebooted again into dev mod, installed Google Apps, DATA WIPE, Reboot and SuperSU. Everything works grate.
The only (biggest) problem is that it crushes randomly. Cleared cache and delvik cache, after "opt apps" complete - Nothing helps. It's not a specific app it can crash on idle too. After holding power and rebooting everything come to normal
I did search on those threads but I can't find someone with this issue. Again, The OS itself crash - not an app.
Anyone can help?
Same random freezes here on my N7100.
Mine seems lock up/freeze more often when I have WiFi on.
I tried everything possible, every tweak in Android Tuner, still a no go.
At the moment, I'm on the 11/28 nightly after using Homebrew. Both present the same issue.
Just flashed 11/28. No apps installed.
Im also experience the crashes on Omnirom first dec nightly. Specially twitter. FC on launch.
I've got to say, I don't know what I did but the FC's stopped. There some minor App's getting FC's but that better then the issue.
Although maybe changing form delvik to art did something, My guess the problem is in the gapps, and after some updates the sys stabilized...
I still don't know the exact cause or the way to solve it...:S

Lockscreen stops working? SMS popup issue?

Hi all
After approx 12 hours of use the phones lockscreen will not be there when waking the phone.
I have recently discovered clearing the recent apps solves the issue and the lockscreen appears as soon as i clear the recent apps.
Last time i did this the only app showing in the recent apps was the messaging app? 1st i thought it was a Handcent issue but i un-installed it and it still happens with the stock sms app.
Used my Nexus for 2 yrs now without ever having this problem but as soon as i got a new phone and i give my Nexus to my girlfriend i cant seem to resolve this problem and she isn't happy
Its not as bad a problem now i have discovered clearing recent apps fixes it but would be nice if i could find out why it happens in the 1st place.
I have regularly changed the rom in the last 2 years and have used TWRP for most of that time.
Im running most recent TWRP and have tried 3 diff roms now (Liquid, Slim and Beanstalk) and issue happens in all 3.
In TWRP i do a full wipe also data and system, then flash rom and recent gapps then clear dalvic and cache (have tried 4.4 and 4.3 roms)
Any ideas?
TIA.

Recent/open app list not showing

Hello, I am happy owner of 1+3 (coming from Xperia U) and I am very happy with this phone, no bugs at all except for this. Normally it works perfect but after maybe a day of usage without restarting phone, recent apps (or open apps) tab not showing any open apps but its definitely graphic bug only because all apps that I open again are normally loaded from memory. After restarting phone it works, even all opened apps before restart are showed. Oxygen OS 3.2.2. See screenshot before and after restart.

Sorry for links, this is my first post...
I'm Also having this problem in 3.2.2. Already had it in 3.2.1.

Here are your options
1. Factory reset
2. Root it and remove unwanted apps
3. Flash another ROM. My suggestion is flash this STOCK BASED ROM..Which is perfect.
Also just had this for the first time yesterday on 3.2.2. Recent apps reappeared after reboot.
Same problem for me
I had the same problem since last upgrade to Oxygen 3.2.2 and fixed with only doing a reboot to recovery (you can do it from power off menu if you mark the option advanced reboot in developer options or if you start the phone holding down power+volume down button at the same time) and then reboot to system normally again and voilá the recent apps button worked again for me.
Hope it helps.
Un saludo.
Get in touch with OP support team
Guys, I have talked with OnePlus 3 support. They wanted to schedule a remote support session with me, but that involves flashing a new firmware, and as I do not feel like tinkering with my new phone I had to decline.
Is anyone experiencing this issue wanting to do some flashing to help the community? Just open a ticket with OP3 explaining the problem. They'll get in touch in no time.
Anyone?
Same problem for me on Oxygen 3.2.4. Only reboot helps!
Clear google app data
This is supposedly a google voice activation bug.
To fix it (atleast temporarily) clear the Google App's data from application settings, then the Recents window starts showing the apps
Awesome! That worked for me. (OnePlus X)

Before posting any issues pertaining to software like fcs, lag or stuttering first do a clean install and see if everything works fine without the mods, then once you've ascertained the stability of a clean rom install one mod at a time to find issue causing mod.
If that appears to be a job too cumbersome then do the following
Xposed is major cause of such issues uninstall one module at a time and see if the issue is resolved.
Don't flash fw of one rom over other you never know how your rom and mod setup will behave to the new firmware.
Sometimes a restoring data of apps through Titanium backup could cause such issue try restoring the app alone then the data of apps you deem to be very essential.
The best way is to wipe your data clean and not install unnecessary mods.
Clear Cache
Try this for the play store:
1. disable (settings)
2. clear cache
3. show system apps (back in setting app menu)
4. disable and clear cache of google services framework
5. reboot
6. re-enable play services
I had a similar issue were I could not update apps via playstore and could not download any files on my device.
Additionally, google photos and the camera app closed themselves immediately.
Clearing app data for Download-Manager and Downloads followed by a restart fixed it for me.

Help needed for crash-bootloop, logcat included

While updating/installing apps from the google playstore, the phone will crash and bootloop, and requires a full reinstall to get it working normally. I've attached 2 logcat files for both roms which give the same problem - Mokee5.1, CM13 on a clean installation with pico gapps and manually selecting several apps to install. One other custom rom also gave the same problem so I didn't bother trying any other custom roms. Reverting back to stock MIUIv8 gave no issues.
CM13 used to be mostly problem free until a few months ago I think when the update/install issue started happening. The playstore auto update is normally kept disabled on my phone so I'm unaware about when the problem really started happening.
Edit-
It doesn't seem to be happening anymore from a short test after flashing my CM13 backup but I've moved on to LO14.1
It may have something to do with some other complaints that people are having. It looks like some issue with Cynogenmod since Sept/Oct 2017 which needs some patching.

Can confirm the issue with CM13 on my Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, I do not know a solution. Just stick to older app versions.
