[Q] Help troubleshooting Google Play freeze after app install

I'd been using FF18 for quite a while without incident, but after upgrading to FI27 (not OTA, via the one-click method), Google Play is hanging the system immediately after successfully downloading and installing any given app. It puts me on the usual page allowing me to open the app, I press open, and wham, the system freezes until it reboots automatically about a minute later. The app that I installed then runs fine.
(In testing this several times, I should mention that one time I actually was able to open an app I just installed, but it hung about 10 seconds in, and the system rebooted as usual. It ran fine after that.)
I've searched around a bit for this and see that I'm hardly the first to encounter this issue. Sometimes it occurs when no recent update has been performed at all. Unfortunately, I haven't really found a solution yet. The best I've seen is to delete the data for Google Play and Download manager, and rebooting, which I've done to no effect. I've also tried uninstalling Google Play, but I think in this case that just leaves me with the same version that I had, the one that came with FI27 (in any case, that didn't help either).
How does one go about troubleshooting this type of problem? I suppose wiping out the phone and starting over would fix it, but I was hoping for more of a surgical rather than nuclear approach. After all, on a PC, you don't reformat when you have a problem with a program.

Have you tried wiping the data for google services framework?

I hadn't, but I did just now (there was just over 4MB there), along with a reboot following, and unfortunately it didn't help. Maybe Google Play services too, or something else?

Try deleting data for anything that says google play.

You stated you upgraded so I'm assuming you didn't do a fresh install. Even if you did do a fresh install, restoring data & apps from an older version could cause problems. You should try a fresh load and work your way back from there.
Edit: Saw you did the one-click. Still think you should try a full wipe and try it again with a fresh load to see how it goes.

I've now done that (though one or two had no data), along with the framework one you mentioned earlier, followed by a reboot, but it still happens. Arghh!

Yes, I chose the nodata FI27, since it said that it was good for same-version or upgrades (in this case, ICS to ICS), but I will choose the nuke-from-space one if there's no way out of this, though wouldn't just resetting to factory defaults at this point do the same thing?
It's a little bit disturbing that an issue with one app, albeit an important (though not essential) one, can require wiping the phone. If this were to come up again for some reason, maybe just one day out of the blue and not related to putting on a new ROM, it would be nice to know a way out.
Perhaps I can grab a log from somewhere with ADB?

If you have a custom kernel with recovery make a backup. Or get one and do it and then do a full wipe and fresh load. That is the only way you'll know for sure.

Yes, I will, but I thought I'd live with it a while to see what I could learn.
I've found that opening the newly-installed app is not the issue: simply installing a new app is. If I wait on the "Open" screen right after an install, and do nothing, within a minute the system will freeze and reboot.
Interestingly, updating apps does not trigger the problem, as numerous apps have updated this week, even one that Google Play wanted me to approve manually. Go figure.
Anyway, I have a logcat of an example in case anyone is interested. In this case, I initiated an install at 15:26, which is when the log begins. It ends shortly after the reboot.

Has anyone else been getting RPC:S-5:AEC-0 errors?
I tired wiping both caches and data from app manager. nothing
Tried wiping cache from recovery. nothing.
tried wiping cache and factory restore. nothing.
After I rooted apps were installing fine but then it just stopped.
Any suggestions? Im gonna try to see if I can find an odin file of it stock.
EDIT: So I used a odin stock image. Still getting error. Any suggestions?
Do tmobile employees check to see if it has been flashed?
Gonna try to go back to store and see if can get it replaced with another. But cant till later. This sucks....
FIX looks like it was on googles servers. Back to normal but this is on stock after I odin, Ill wait on the root to see if others are still getting problems.

I was getting the above error too even after performing a device reset. I reflashed the root a second time and it is working. The only difference is I enabled USB debugging in the Developer options the second time, not sure if that really made a difference though.

I have been getting it (wasn't up until I rooted!). Was driving me insane.............. Tried all the tricks I found on the internet with absolutely zero luck.... until I came across this dude's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv8d-nl04qI. It worked but I followed it to the t! So delete your Google account. Force close and erase Data for the 3 services he's mentioning. Turn it off. Turn it back on. Go to Play, it asks for your Google Account; add it.... Enjoy!

Ah wow, I was getting these errors too. Thought it was unrelated and a server side issue (still might be, account specific?)
I'm writing this without reading the suggestions above but, what eventually worked for me (after removing accounts, factory reset, clearing play store data & play framework whether necessary or not)..
Went to Google dashboard (all on PC), made sure device was there, went to play.google.com (computer)-- it errored and froze, logged out, back in, worked eventually, viewed my installed apps (took like 5 minutes to load), started installing apps from there. Once that was working, it worked on my device.
The curious part was, initially, when I'd search for ANY app on play.google.com, it would show no results. Opening in incognito (not signed in), it worked fine.

Yes, had the same problem on my SM-N900T, not on either of the other two [N900/A], it took creating a new google account and also clearing the cache for google services framework, google play and uninstalling the play store update. I had to do this a couple of times, seemed to work better for me without a reboot, but this is the right path for fixing this problem.
Hope this helps,
Bob

it voids your samsung warranty to be exact. if you take it back to tmobile with tmobile warranty, they will still fix/replace hardware issues.

About to root for the simple fact I can not stand the headphones auto adjusting. I need it louder then normal and tired of playing music at maxed settings just to hear music and then a few songs later it acts like its supposed to. (work in a factory)
Anywho: Does this method still give you the option of having auto updates from Tmobile for bug fixes and stuff or do we need to manually keep an eye open for updates?
(coming from Rooted Stock Note 2 thats why im asking. Not big on romming)
Thank you

Flashing from 8.0 to 8.1

Can I just flash up to 8.1 using the "-w" change in the flash-all.bat? Would prefer not to wipe my entire phone clean if possible, but if I must, then I'll do it.

will it work? Yes, since i did that
Now, i am experiencing some apps constantly crashing, and i dont know if its because of it... or if its just incompatibility of 8.1 with apps that arent updated.
Gmail, Google App, Play Games, Calendar, Newstand, Wunderground, G Docs&Sheets have issues retreiving data....
So i am debating wether or not to wipe the device and start with a fresh image to see if it helps... im trying to find if this is a known issue before i do....

I mean I don't really care about having to reinstall apps, it's my data that I'm hesitant on since it takes a half a day just to pull everything off, flash, and put it back

factory reset fixed all my constant app crashing issues..

well, found out after reset it started again and found the culprit.... it weas Chrome v63 when i enabled Chrome Home... did it again with the constant app crashing... after resetting chrome back to normal, it went away... SIGH

Do it, I did it that way. Most folks have. Could there be an issue...yea, maybe but I doubt it. If it goes bad you just do it again with the -w in there. But it won't.

First time I flashed 8.1 I was in the same mindset as you. I removed "-w" from the script and flashed the preview a few weeks back. My SystemUI crashed upon first boot and got an error screen stating one of my partitions had been corrupted. Only way to save the phone was a factory reset.
Due to this, I will never dirty flash again. Additionally, I'll never recommend it to anyone else either. I did it out of laziness.
If you don't have it already, i highly recommend to back up your apps with Titanium Backup. I personally purchased the pro version. I then use an app (free from store) called "Z Archiver." In my opinion, it's the best zip/Archiver app available.
Using z archiver, I select all the folders I want to back up on my SD card. I conveniently zip them all together in one zip file on my SD card. Typically, I'll include my TiBu folder, DCIM (photos) folder, and various other files/mods I have on my SD card that I wish to keep. I use ADB to pull it from my phone onto my PC. After I flash the factory images, root, kernel etc and get my phone set up, I then use adb to push the backup archive file back to my SD card. From there, I unzip it and restore all my apps with TiBu. Replace my DCIM folder so I have all my photos back as well. It really only adds a few extra minutes into the update process but you can have peace of mind you did it the right way.

Help needed asap. Google framework crashing

So this morning when I woke up, and checked my email, I got a notification for "google services framework not working" however the phone seemed to be normal. I rebooted it, unlocked it, and pretty much the phone is nonoperational. I keep getting notifications, that can not be cleared for " framework failing", "launcher failing", etc. Which makes it nearly impossible to navigate anywhere because they are in rapid succession.
Phone is a Pixel 2xl on the stock rom, never been rooted, etc. I am not sure what to even do at this point.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is my only device.

About the only thing you can do is a factory reset to see if it remedies the situation. Or, side load the OTA through stock recovery. The first will wipe your data, the 2nd won't. So backup what you can in either case before you start.

You can find how to side load OTA's here....https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Google backup/restore will get you close to being back to normal. However, you will lose some app data. So whatever personal data you have, it's best to back it up on your pc.

What would be the most efficient way to back up photos? Really that is the only thing I would like to backup.

Google Photos. It automatically backs up images found in the Camera or DCIM folder on your internal storage space.

I got abd connected but I can't authorize the phone because the authorization pop up is behind the notification for failed google services. is there anyway around this?

Can you even get to your phone settings? If so, you may trying clearing app cache and data for Google play service and Google services framework like you see in the pic. Then if successful, reboot your device and see what happens.

I finally got the sideload to work, and it is still doing the same thing Only factory reset is left.

Yea, I can finagle my way there, but it doesn't do anything when I clear it.
I think my only hope at this point is to try and get my pics off it and factory reset.

How do I factory reset through adb? I navigated to the factory reset menu on the phone but the reset button is greyed out. I tried to do adb shell recovery --wipe_data and that didn't work.
Any advice how to reset through adb?

Either do it through the settings menu on your phone, or go into stock recovery using the power and volume buttons. Hold power + volume down for about 10 seconds, then when the bootloader screen comes up, use the volume down button to get to recovery, then press power to enter recovery. Once you see the android lying on his back, hold power + volume up simultaneously, then release volume. This part can get a little tricky, so be patient :good:

One additional piece of advice is to attempt to load the OS in "safe mode". You can find the method and more information HERE. As you can enter/load the OS (albeit the error messages get in the way), you should be able to get to the power-off/shutdown settings and might be able to load up the system in "safe mode"... I think it's worth a try...
good luck and hope this helped some....

Lineage OS 16 - Pixel Launcher Keeps Stopping

Finally figured out how to install Lineage... I think... it's installed for sure but not working. When at first startup it asked to choose a launcher, I picked PIXEL because had no idea which was which, and now I have no desktop, just the wallpaper and every 10sec the message pops up saying Pixel Launcher Keeps Stopping.
Went into the app, force stop, cleared cache and data, reboot and no change. No icons or anything so can't get into Play and download another launcher either.
Any ideas? I have 0 rooting/image/lineage type experience. My old tablet was a Nexus10 and Wugfresh did everything for me so, kinda new to this.
Thanks

Looks like you have a strange lineageOS version. Normally there is only trebuchet launcher. You can always restart installation at the step in twrp wipe system and data.

I followed howtogeek.com/348545/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android (I'm too new to post links).
Maybe it's the GApps? was vague on that stuff and were like 8 options and no idea which to choose so went for the Stock version
I need to redo it again anyways... followed directions but SuperSU not working right... tablet does show rooted but when I went to install Pokemon Go, immediately says won't work on rooted devices. Stupid Niantic. Doesn't matter, I never used anything that needed Root anyways. I'm a pretty basic user. Just want the games and Chrome to work really... but ever since 7.1 downloaded to the tablet, quite a few people with the same tablet can no longer play Marvel Contest of Champions because of the insanely long load screens and lag. From what I tried so far, this fixed it.
I'll try the install of LineageOS again but leaving out SuperSU and GApps.

All working now... tried without GApps and didn't like it, couldn't figure out where Google app store button was etc... so redid it again, same way as before with GApps but, left out the SuperSU which is what rooted the tablet, and works fine now. Just made sure when started up, not to choose Pixel as a launcher.
Need to figure out a few things... hoping a way to switch around the clock... time in the top/left corner is weird... never had a phone/tablet where it wasn't top/right. But small issues like that... just happy that certain apps are running properly again. Have playing games on a phone, I have big hands.

One issue I can't sort out yet... when I hold down on the background I get options for home settings, widgets and wallpaper...when I click to change wallpaper it just says app not installed

How did you get it to work all over again? I have a similar problem with no idea of how to boot my phone back in recovery mode (TWRP) and flash another GApps/ROM. I was using ADB command and honestly, I'm green on this.

Can't recall... spent hours on this thing to make it work and now that it does I haven't touched the installer since.

Fixed
I rebooted into TWRP, copied on my computer the file "/data/system/packages.xml" edited under <package name="com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher" ... and <perms>, I added the following lines:
<item name="android.permission.STATUS_BAR" granted="true" flags="0" />
<item name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACTIVITY_STACKS" granted="true" flags="0" />
(watch the screenshot)
saved the new xml and put back in /data/system/ with TWRP file manager... and the crash was fixed, no need to install other stuff!
