Gmail crashing constantly - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I have read that Gmail is not a very stable app, and people often complain it crashes, but there's a limit!
I had it installed by default, then removed it after root, then decided to install it again as I needed to check my mail more often.
Every time, every damn time I do ANYTHING, Gmail crashes. You probably know the usual message "com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly", I get it when I boot the phone, when I enable data, when I disable data, when I open the browser, when I close the browser, when I enable google account sync, when I disable it, and of course when I try and open Gmail. The fact is, the process crashes even when I don't use Gmail (I checked and it's not in the 'being used' processes list, but when I open the browser or enable data it crashes from nowhere).
I have already tried wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates (but for some reason it uninstalls the whole app), and uninstalling/reinstalling it several times, but I only managed to make it work ONCE (then after that unique mail sent, crashes again). Is there a way to stop this madness?
I have an Xperia Mini st15i with rooted 2.3.4 and stock stuff, if it can help.

Did you take a backup of the stock Gmail app before you removed it? Did you install that one and then updated or did you install directly from the market?
In addition, have you tried clearing the data of Google Services Framework? I read somewhere that clearing its data can help resolve issues in Google apps.

I don't have a backup of the stock one, I reinstalled directly from market =(. I'll try clearing that data then =)

Don't worry if you don't have the stock Gmail.apk. If clearing the services framework doesn't work, search Google for the stock Gmail.apk of your android version, install it, then convert it to system app and link it to the market using titanium backup and then update it. If you can't find it, contact me. Post how it goes.

[LFH] No Google Apps Clear Data Button

Anyone.. need helps here. I tried to change my Google account. In 1.6 I usually go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Google Apps -> Click Clear data button.
But I couldn't find mine here... Please help anyone.. I think to reflash but afraid that will not solve the problem too.
I already tried to flash but not wipe all the data. But still no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Apparently there is NO Clear Button in Google Apps app like before at 1.6 . I already did factory reset my phone but still not there.
So how can I change my google account just like 1.6 did? This is weird.
Btw apparently GTalk App is VERY RELATED to Market App. So never touch it. (I wipe the Gtalk data and my market won't work anymore). Cannot find solution yet if we unintentionally touch the GTalk.
Another thing, Setup Guide app is IMPORTANT to GMail app to add another account. I removed it (Setup Guide app) before in order to optimize my phone but my Gmail app keep crashing when adding another account.

[Q] Market force closes

Not sure what I did but I cannot access the market anymore. Everytime I open the app it force closes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ad have tried with several versions of the market new and old. I even tried to go through the original nook color root process with YouTube and Gmail but no go.
Any ideas?
What if I just run the AutoNooter SD again? Will that restore it without having to do the whole thing over?
Have you tried deleting the data for the Gmail, Youtube, and Market in Titanium Backup and then reregistering your Gmail address?
No. Let me give that a shot and see what happens.

[Q] Can't uninstall Gmail app obtained from Market

Upon first use of my new Viewpad 7, I set up my Gmail account on the Email app. Then, later I got the Gmail (version 2.3) app from Market and installed it. I now am getting double (simultaneous) notifications. Ugh. I've tried to uninstall the Gmail app that I downloaded and installed, but cannot do so. In Applications / Manage Applications / All / Gmail, I can Force Stop or Clear data or Clear cache, but the Uninstall button~bar is greyed out. There are no additional menu options at this screen.
If I try to delete my Gmail account in the Email app, it warns me that this can only be done with a factory reset. Since that would eliminate the dozen or so apps I found and downloaded from Market, I don't want to do that. Why can't I uninstall the Gmail app?

[fixed] "error processing purchase df-bpa-09" on market after NAND restore

hi there
i use the omega 9.1 rom for about a week or so now and it's working great.
today i've done a nand backup and flashed paranoid android, and restored my backup after data+cache+dalvik wipe.
my only problem is that i get "error processing purchase df-bpa-09" whenever i try to DL an app from the market(free\paid).
i've cleared market cache and even uninstalled updates, disable and enable my google sync , fixed permissions, changed locale to english and rebooted sevral times.
*i have also tried via WIFI\3G, and to DL from the web with my acount.
but the exact same problem persists.
is there anything i can do before flashing the rom again ?

how do one remove the google account? there is always a need for a google account in the system.
thanks!
There is always need but doesn't mean you can't remove it.
Settings| Accounts and Sync
Hit your Google account and hit remove account.
You can add it back. And problem solved.
For me clearing the data of Google service doesn't work.
Even with reboot.
Remove account works.

I keep getting 'Unfortunately xxx-app has stopped' errors

Yesterday I rebooted my phone to recovery mode to perform a new nandroid backup. Everything was fine but after having booted my phone again, I get a lot of "Unfortunately xxx-app has stopped" errors. Most of the time the apps are Gmail and Google Play Services but sometimes also Google Play Store and the app just named Google. For now it has never been Calendar, Hangouts, Drive or other Google apps.
Apart from the never-ending errors I have to click away, everything seems to be fine. I get e-mail notifications, I can update my apps etc. The errors seems to appear when the phone is syncing. For example when a new e-mail is received or when I'm writing and sending an e-mail. Also when I'm updating my apps, the errors are appearing. If I put the phone into flight mode there are no errors.
Of course I've tried to reboot my phone. I've also deleted cache and data from different Google apps like Gmail, Google Play Store, Google Play Services and the Google app. I've tried to uninstall the updates from the same Google apps and update again. I've booted to recovery mode and deleted cache and dalvik cache.
On Monday evening just before I went to bed, I rebooted my phone and there were no problems, and from the reboot on Monday evening to the reboot and nandroid backup yesterday I didn't install or update any apps so I haven't changed anything on my phone. Even though I've removed all my newest apps just to be sure it isn't related to a new app or an updated app.
Now I din't have more ideas... Please help me!
