[How To] Fix acore and google services framework force close

Wipe data for Contacts Storage and Google Services Framework.
Really easy, this will fix either android.process.acore force closing or google.services.framework force closing.
WARNING!: This will wipe contacts. It seems acore fc's when there are corrupted contacts. Usually by restoring contacts on an incompatible ROM....
And will temporarily wipe market list. So backup your contacts!
Step by step:
Code:
0. Make sure Sync is off, leave it off for some time!
1. Go into settings
2. Select Applications
3. Select Manage Applications
4. (If you are on 2.2) Select the All tab
5. Scroll down until you find Contacts Storage (select it).
6. Wipe data+clear cache(If available)
7. Hit back
8. Scroll down until you find Google Services Framework (select it)
9. Wipe data+clear cache (if available)
10. Reboot and enjoy
11. (optional) Enable Sync again
Enable sync again when your convinced that the error has gone.
If this works for you, can you reply stating what ROM your on? (Eg, Stock 2.2, Cyanogenmod 5.08, MIUI 0.9.24, etc)
Or if it doesn't work for you, do the same thing?
Thanks guys!
NOTE:
It can be caused by corrupted database entiries in ANY of the syncs, Gmail, Calender, etc, but I've found contacts are the most likely culprits. This is a band-aid solution, if the problem is reappearing than there is probably something wrong with the source data being synced. Or an external application trying to do modifications (eg, a custom contacts application).
If you don't want to wipe all contacts:

It happened on my galaxy s too, when I viewed my contacts I got force close.
But after I tried many contacts backup tool on the market, I found that my contacts had 1 contact with no first name and no last name on it.
So I use contact removal from the market to remove that contact.
After that I got no force close again.
And my contact do not need to be wiped clean before.
Maybe this can resolved the contact error for some.
At least this worked on my galaxy s.

This solution will work in some cases but not for others. Read this guide for why the problem is happening and how to fix it: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=23c329285968cd2e&hl=en
It is most likely a corrupted record on one of the services that you are syncing.
Good luck!

Well this does make sense. A corupt contanct. Ill add your story to the first post.

it's worked!
my phone is HD2 (use Mdeejay_FroYo_Matted_v._1.3_#15)
I'm a beginner in this field...

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much! God bless you!!!
I have an HTC Incredible , w/ MIUI ROM - 11.05

Ok... hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question... but does doing this delete the contacts from your phone or from the cloud?

Just local contacts off the phone
Cloud will remain unaffected

Can not iteract with GIU 'cause of the error
I have the same problem but as phone displays home screen he continues to show the error, so any action can be performed.
I have Droid Explorer but I do not kow where , manually, clean the folders!
May advice?
Many thanks!

works perfect to me as well.
I have a HD2 with android vers. 2.2.1
darkstone superram froyo v1.5 build frg83
thnx a lot
greets

Just checking to see if the fix you are suggesting is for this kind of error message? I'm getting this on an HTC HD2 running Android.
Sorry!
The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close Report
Thanks

Happened out of nowhere. Everything was running fine. All I did was reboot to WinMo (not the first time either). Then when I booted back into Android it started FC'in all over the place. Market failed and I couldn't view my Contacts either. Speaking of which, it hasn't been updated either unless it was syncing or updating contact info in the background. Who knows...
Everything's working great... just had to give it some time to restore all the downloads and whatnot.

[Q] Best Practices (Titanium Backup, CM7)

OK, so I have CM build #34 and Titanium Backup Pro installed on my Nexus One with all of my apps apps and settings backed up and synced to Dropbox. I also use ROM Manager Premium for handling my CM7 nighties.
I have tried different variations of wiping data and cache\installing Google Apps\restoring all apps and settings with Titanium Backup but I think I am doing something wrong as I usually end up having to enter login and password information on a lot of my apps (once I get them back on my phone).
If my plan is to update to the latest CM7 version every night, what are the proper steps to do so?
Here is what I think I should do:
1. Back up all apps and settings using Titanium Pro
2. Download latest CM7 version
3. When ROM Manager asks if I want to download Google Apps, I check YES
4. After the download is complete, ROM Manager asks if I would like to Backup Existing ROM (I leave unchecked) and Wipe Date and Cache (I only check this if I am having major issues with the CM7 nightie)
5. ROM loads, phone reboots
(Here is where I start getting really confused)
6. Google asks me to sign in. I skip the sign in
7. Join wireless
8. Restore all apps and settings from Titanium Backup
9. Google keeps on asking me to sign in with my Google account.
10 I sign in and usually have issues with Twitter, work email (Exchange), Facebook, etc. Some apps that I know I had installed and configured do not show up but when I go to the Market they show as Purchased and I have to re-download them. Later when I have Twitter and Facebook configured, if I go to Settings> Accounts and Sync, it only shows Gmail and my work email (no Facebook or Twitter). If I try adding Facebook and Twitter, it never goes to the sign in screen. I can back out and see and use Facebook and Twitter on my home screen though.
Questions:
If I am downloading only CM7 nighties, should I download and install Google Apps every night (why else would ROM Manager prompt me for it and include it with every CM7 nightie)?
When using Titanium Backup, should I still sign in to my Google account on my phone or just skip it and restore all settings, apps and data?
Can someone lay out an easy step-by-step best way to accomplish what I am attempting? I think this would help a lot of novice users who want to experience the awesome custom ROMs that are floating around.
Thank you all for your time and effort!

Going from one nightly to another, you do not need to wipe anything.

Then why do I have do I have to keep re-entering all types of logins after upgrading to a new CM7 nightie ?
You say not to wipe data and cache. What about the rest of my post? Any other advice?

Just flashover the top of what u got
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

You should try logging in to Google first before restoring your apps with Titanium Backup. Then reboot. Usually that will restore the list of apps that you installed in the Market.
If not, then clear your market data and cache and do a reboot again.

So I always should install Google Apps every time I get prompted by ROM Manager just before I start installing a nightie? Then just flash the new CM7 version without wiping Data and Cache?

I didn't say anything about flashing gapps again, just flash the newer nightly over your old nightly.

OK, tried what you said (not flashing gapps) and just flashed to the newest CM7 nightie. I also did not delete Data and Cache. Now the Market, Talk, Car Home, Voice (looks like all the Google apps) do not work. I'm getting pop ups stating that I need to sign in to my Google account but when I go to Settings>Accounts and Sync, There is no option for me to add my Google credentials. I see nothing except corporate email and FaceBook (no Twitter Either---and I have that installed).
That is why I was asking earlier if I should get the gapps every time I flash to a new nightly build. Every time I don't download Google Apps along with the CM7 nightie, I always loose a ton of settings and functionality along with not having access to all of my Google Apps.
Btw, I did a full restore of Titanium Backup Pro (all apps and data) after I flashed to the new CM7 nightie b/c of the problem stated earlier in this post.
Any thoughts?

I have no idea what is going wrong then.
Every few days I download the nightly, flash it without any wipes right over top of my current system, and use my phone. All settings stay working, I haven't flashed gapps for a long while now.
It is pretty much a one step process for me. It sounds like there is some sort of strange wiping going on for you though.

I had this issue when I used ROM Manager to download the ROM.
Here's what to do, just download the nightly from this link,
http://mirror1.kanged.net/nightly/passion/
Then use ROM Manager to install from zip, don't wipe or clear anything.
This will let you flash it over with no issues.

Ah, that could very well be it. I am always downloading it manually and flashing from it manually in Rom Manager.

Yeah I do not know why it is doing this. But oh well lol.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

after you flash the new nightly build on top of your current, are you restoring anything via Titanium?
When restoring system data, i found that the order in which its restored makes the difference between things working and not.
I had a similar problem a while back... after a complete wipe and fresh install of CM + Gapps i used TB to restore everything including system app data. after the restore, everything looked OK. If i was to check settings/accounts & sync, everything was there correctly. But when I tried to run a system app, I'd have nothing but problems..(G-Talk & Latitude wouldnt log in, Market was jerked, Gmail would FC...FB and twitter would keep asking for my password..etc). The way I got it to work was to wipe all system data, then in a logical order, restore it again one app at a time with a reboot between each restore.
Its alot easier to just manually enter all account info. Then use TB (if needed) to restore things like FB, Twitter, Wifi & BT settings.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but typing this made the bus ride home alot quicker.

[Q] Googlemail account references within Droid3

Hey all,
I created and added a secondary Googlemail account onto my Droid3 and would like to remove completely my old(first one). Unfortunately my Droid3 doesn't allow that to me, because it says I have to do a factory reset which I don't want. I manually switched within various applications from my old Gmail-Account to my new one through the applications settings menu. I also cleared data of all GoogleApps I found under Settings-->Applications-->Manage Apps-->All. I cleared data of all GApps, YouTube, PlayStore, etc...
I rebooted the phone, but I'm still not able to remove my first old Gmail account. Why? How can I check which applications my old account is assigned to?
any help appreciated

Hi to you (again)
any android device have to registrate himself by gmail account
so,
(if you) reboot to CWM, than:
nanbackup
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Reboot
Then you will bein ask to creat gmail accunt or login to existing one, choose the one you prefer...

(if you) reboot to CWM, than:

But I don't want to factory reset my current stock ROM with all my apps and settings on it. I just want to clear and remove this old Gmail account. Do I miss something?

you can't,
you have to re-registration your D3 on google servers
for keeping yours app. download titanium backup apk (free) from the market.
install, than backup ALL (yours) apps,
after wiping and re-registration your D3, download titanium backup (again), and restore your's apps

Sorry unfortunately he's correct. What's nice however is the Play store will download all your apps for you when you first boot your phone after a hard reset. If you do that or Titanium Backup you should be fine.

This small tutorial is to get rid of the error android.process.acore which comes again and again on screen and bothers alot!!
For the People who are encountering this error just follow the below steps.

This reminds me that I recently noticed that "Contact Groups" were not properly sync'ed between Google Contacts and the Contacts on my phone. I went into Contacts on my phone and checked "Sync Data". Is that supposed to stay unchecked?
Of course, the Contacts app crashes before I can un-check the box, so I don't know how to fix that now.

Third step seems to have woked
I did the first 2 with not results the third seems to have worked. My samsung VZW i800 is working quite well now thank you. I have CM11.0 terrenceng... granted I still get the error "unfortunately gmail has stopped" and I'm working on that issue. In the meantime I'm using the email app to handle my Gmail. Thanks again.

I tried deleting Facebook, which worked for several days, but now the Acore Error back with a vengeance !!! I do not have the same hierarchy as listed below, so I cannot use the Method #2. I've already tried Method #3, but obviously that did not work. Oh well ..... so much for upgrading to Buggy KitKat ....
At least I'm getting a new phone tomorrow .... Hopefully it will be more stable, and if I'm lucky might even have JellyBean!!! I had NO problems with JellyBean for over three months. Big mistake upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2.

anyone using this room with skype experienced any problem?
using the latest skype, when try signing out, system will show "android.process.acore" after click ok, message pops up right away. Reboot won't help either. Only way getting rid of message is to clear the contact storage.

Fix the android.process.acore
I had this problem after removing a Google account from my phone that did contacts sync. During the removal, my phone crashed (nice job guys) and it clearly corrupted something..
I DID NOT NEED TO RESET MY PHONE TO FACTORY SETTINGS OR RE-FLASH ANY FIRMWARE, ETC
IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING PROCESS WILL DELETE ALL LOCALLY STORED CONTACTS FROM YOUR PHONE. BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RESTORE ANY CONTACTS THAT YOU REMOTELY SYNCED WITH AN ACCOUNT (SUCH AS A GOOGLE ACCOUNT).
I fixed my phone by going to:
1. Setting > Application Manager
2. Slide over to the "ALL" tab
3. Select the "Contacts Storage" application
4. Click the "Turn Off" button
5. Click the "Force Stop" button
6. Click the "Clear Cache" button
7. Click the "Clear Data" button
8. Uncheck the "Show Notifications" option
9. Click the "Turn On" button
This should immediately resolve your issue.
IF YOU PREVIOUSLY DISABLED CONTACTS SYNCING FOR ANY OF YOUR "ACCOUNTS", YOU SHOULD RE-ENABLE IT NOW TO GET YOUR CONTACTS BACK ON YOUR PHONE.

If you're using the Facebook app (com.facebook.katana) , especially the "dev" version, try freezing/disabling, then clearing data and cache in it, seems FB doesn't do much contacts sanitizing....

The best way to resolve this issue is
- Turn Off Sync
- Remove Your Google account account from your device
-Add your google account again
-Turn on sync
BOOM you are done now

the second solution which is clearing the ''contacts storage'' data fixed it but the problem occurred when i uninstalled facebook actually it happened to me on my other phone ( ''Galaxy Note II'' to be exact ) just by logging out of my account in the facebook app so i had to factory reset the phone
i wonder why ? all my devices have official roms with no root
anyway thanks

I get this problem "Unforunately,android.process.acore has stopped".
I have stock rom. I have Xposed framework installed,is that the source of the problem?
Thanx in advance for helping me.
My device:Samsung Galaxy S Duos2

I used to get that error message many times. With my first Note 3, it finally got so bad that I could not use my Note 3 anymore. Samsung sent me a replacement Note 3, which I still have. I started getting that error again on my second Note 3. Had to do a Factory Reset, which seemed to fix the issue. However, now I'm getting a new error message that just started when I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 >>> Touch Wiz suddenly quits. After about 15-20 seconds starts up again.

Hey all! If none of the above solutions are working for you (like in my case), then please try this solution I found that worked for me:
1. Uninstall the app that is causing the popups (this could be Facebook, OneNote, WhatsApp, Skype, etc...).
2. Disable Goolge+.
3. Reinstall app that was causing the popups (sign in, get it going).
4. Re-enable Google+ (I actually haven't cause I don't use it, but that's up to you).
It looks like 5.1 fix this, so hang in there!

I just got the Lollipop 5.0 Update for my Note 3 about a week ago. So far, seems to be running ok. I have a list of 11 issues with Lollipop, one which a Samsung Tech Support lady helped me fix (after many calls to tech support, with no help). Another issue I discovered the solution by myself (by accident), and one more issue I found the answer online after reading many articles, and watching many videos.
I have not seen this issue "android.process.acore" with the Lollipop 5.0 Update. Hoping to get another update to fix the remaining issues (Screenshot, Battery Drain, WiFi, RAM, Bluetooth, TouchWiz).

Yea, I tried everything else in this forum and on the web> Facebook uninstall, stop all contacts,calendar, google play related apps and clear data, delete google account, etc...
Have now cleared and uninstalled Skype, Airdroid, and mightytext since it seems to be a Google Contacts syncing issue. This still hasn\t helped. Will keep you all posted if I find the culprit.

Mahdi 4.4.4 ROM

Loaded the Madhi 4.4.4 ROM a few days ago. Most everything seems to work. I found the following.
It doesn't seem to delete contacts from the SIM card. It says they have been deleted, but re-boot and they are all there again.
The native e-mail fails. Apparently the e-mail exchange is eigther not starting or failing. The regular gmail app works.
Bluetooth cannot find the phone. The BT in my car pairs just fine, but when I try to make a call it cannot find the phone.
Overall I am really pleased with this ROM, phone is much nicer than the original t-mobile ROM.

First post you should have posted this in rom op. Secondly you should be more specific as to which gapps and if you are using Davlik(Defualt) or ART runtime. as far as deleting the contacts and them remaining in list. It is possible that it really is deleted from sim but not your google account via gsync.

SIM contacts
I wanted to post under the appropriate developers ROM listing, but xda would not permit me to post in that form.
Installed:
mahdi-2.7-ancora_tmo-20140721.zip
7-24_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4_signed.zip
Using the defaults
The SIM contact problem seems to be real.
Deleted most contacts from gmail account (through firefox & gmail.com)
On the phone:
Sync is OFF
Deleted the gmail app.
Using the Contacts app: import/export manage SIM contacts local only
deleted all contacts
some contacts would not delete unless I went in manually to remove all info & name
checked again, everything seemed to be gone

I wanted to post under the appropriate developers ROM listing, but xda would not permit me to post in that form.
Installed:
mahdi-2.7-ancora_tmo-20140721.zip
7-24_GApps_Minimal_4.4.4_signed.zip
Using the defaults
The SIM contact problem seems to be real.
Deleted most contacts from gmail account (through firefox & gmail.com)
On the phone:
Sync is OFF
Deleted the gmail app.
Using the Contacts app: import/export manage SIM contacts local only
deleted all contacts
some contacts would not delete unless I went in manually to remove all info & name
checked again, everything seemed to be gone
exit contact app.
reboot phone

1st No problem and understandable. 2nd since you didn't list who's gapps Banks, PA, Slim, CM11, etc. I'll assume from build zip that it's prolly banks. When you flashed the rom did you wipe everything except /boot and /sdcard1(external sd) before flashing rom. also did you do 1 full boot before installing gapps as well as wipe davlik-cache after each flash? if not that could be causing some if not all the issues. I've been running this rom prior to public release (same exact build) and have not came across any issues what so ever. i use twrp 2.3.1.0 as i have grown to like it much better then cwm. Wiped everything but my external sdcard as i don't swap sdcards or anything like that and have my nandroid backups go on it. I have noticed in my own experience if i dont wipe sdcard0(internal SD) i have gapp issues from what ever gets left over from previous roms. So in case you don't remember how you flashed it, I would try that first so everything is completely clean.back up what you have on internal sd that you want to keep either on external sd or pc or w/e.
1. TWRP or CWM wipe everything like i said before expect /boot and /external sd(sdcard1)
2. install rom only then wipe davlik-cache and reboot.
3. Once first boot is done you can either A) reboot phone then hold buttons to go back into recovery OR B) (Easier on hardware and safer) go to settings>about tap build number until dev options is active then go to settings>dev and put a check mark on advance reboot. then when you press and hold the power button you will get the option to reboot to recovery xD.
4. Install gapps (im currently using Banks Min 7/29 build a.) then wipe dalvik-cache and reboot.
5. Repeat for anything you need/want to flash thru recovery. 1 zip wipe davlik then reboot.

I followed your instructions. It seems to have fixed all the issues. I don't recall doing all the wipes and reboots last time. I think I just went in and loaded both the madhi and gapps and rebooted.
So far everything I have tried has worked.
Thank's for your help.
