google play services constantly crashing

Question

My sister's got cyangonmod 11 to have android kitkat on here sony Xperia P.

At first it was smooth but now she's facing constant crashing of google play services app.

I've seen these links before :

Google Play Services crashing constantly

Cyanogenmod: Google Play Services keeps crashing after update

Google Play Services and Play Store crashing

The error message I get in the logs is different from the first question, I tried to install google play services from apkmirror as suggested by the second answer, I tried to install versions 10.2.98 and 10.5.53, the version needs to be 030 as suggested by apkmirror and I'm sure about this.

Reinstalling google play services from apkmirror and clearing data does solve the problem at first but the next day or so it comes back.

The output of adb logcat *:F is this :



F/libc
 (25812): Fatal signal 7 (SIGBUS) at 0x00000000 (code=128), thread 26060 (pool-48-thread-)

F/ActivityManager( 2121): Service ServiceRecord{

}
 in process ProcessRecord{
42556cf025812:com.google.android.gms.persistent/u0a23
}
 not same as in map: null

}
 in process ProcessRecord{
4295d81026063:com.google.android.gms.persistent/u0a23
}
 not same as in map: null

I'm sure those are the crashes because that's where I say the crash message.

I don't understand that not same as in map : null thing , could you tell what does it means ? and how do we solve this issue ?

My sister also tried the suggestion in this site : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/found-a-fix-for-google-play-services-crashing-constantly.312830/ which didn't work.

If you need the full output of adb logcat or maybe adb logcat *:E I'll be happy to add them, the phone is also rooted and TWRP recovery is installed just so you know.

Answer

The problem solved, previously we had used System app remover to remove some system apps we thought we don't need, we removed google maps, as Izzy guessed google play services was looking for it without finding it ending in a constant crash.

When we restored back google maps app , cleared data no more crashes since then and the phone became faster and more responsive too :) .
