I suddenly started getting "unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped" messages.
My "home launcher" welcomes me as if it's the first time I turned on the phone.
I just rebooted and got a whole series of "has stopped" messages.
Please help me resolve this problem.
"unfortunately, the process Google Partner Setup has stopped"
"unfortunately, DoggCatcher has stopped"
"unfortunately, Talk has stopped"
"unfortunately, Google+ has stopped"
"unfortunately, Titanium Backup has stopped"
"unfortunately, Calendar has stopped"
"unfortunately, Google+ has stopped"
"unfortunately, Astrid tasks has stopped"
I think this all started at about the time I got a message that "Contacts" was adjusting to the change in language (I use English and Hebrew on my phone). But I don't know what caused what.
This is making my phone almost unusable.
Following the instructions at
http://androidforums.com/huawei-ide...ndroid-process-acore-has-stopped-working.html
I went to settings>applications>running>all and scrolled to "contacts" opened it and chose "clear data" - then went back to "contacts storage" and did the same thing.
That did not resolve the problem.

I had already
Cleared Cache
Reset to Factory
but had not Cleared Dalvik Cache (it's under Recovery / Advanced / Clear Dalvik Cache)
The ROM'ed CyanogenMod
and GApps
I finally did all that with "Clear Dalvik Cache" and that helped a lot.
My phone was working great
but then I got another one of those "process stopped working" messages.
Still, my phone is working well and I do actually have a software keyboard now.
I'll try to work out the remaining "stopped working" problem later.
So far I haven't followed the advice below:

then:
Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe dalwik
with odin install GINGERBREAD (THE LAST STOCK FOR YOUR COUNTRY)
root with cf-root
now from the recovery install the ROM of your choice
This is the only way to definitely eliminate all the problems of your device

It's a sad story. I have Titanium Backup on my phone, but it wasn't running backups (the folder is empty) so I can run a backup now, but I don't have a "before" backup.
I had it set to run nightly, but I guess after the last time I ROM'ed it reverted to it's default.
Oops, my bad.
I guess a factory data reset in settings / backup&reset / FACTORY DATA RESET would be the trick it is always recommended after flashing a new rom to start it fresh.

Before flashing the rom its recommended to do the Factory reset + Wipe Cache + Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache in the recovery, then after flashing it and the phone its configured you do the factory data reset in the settings/backup&reset and then you have a clean installed rom prolly without any error otherwise its a rom issue.
I Agree

2. Wipe Cache +
3. Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache in the CWM Recovery / Advanced, then after

Thanks for the tip of going into settings and backup and restore after flashing rom. Had been having problem with process android.acore for weeks and this tip solved issue.
Of course wiping all those junks cache are important while flashing. We dont wanna keep some extra garbage (if cash then its allowable ) inside our home rite? juz throw it off

How do I exit an application or go to home page? It doesn't have a button to go back to home or anything. I prob need to reboot to recovery and reflash this rom but I can't even find a way to reboot to recovery.

To exit an app you can activate the option "main menu" ==> developer tools ==> last entry called "close apps" or something ...when you have activated the option you can stop it by holding the return-button ...
you can extend your reboot-menu by activating the option "extended reboot menu" under the developer tools ...an tthen you can reboot in the recovery directly...
if you don`t have the menu "developer tools" you must push 7-times on the build-number (About the device)...

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).
Hallo,
i have a problem with updating cm 10.1 to 10.2 on my i9000. Like i say, i had allready cm 10.1 and prior to that 10.0 and helly bean. Till now everything was fine and every update was OK. I have allready root rights.
Now i tried to flash cm 10.2 like that;
1.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvic cache
- flash cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip - 2 times
- flash gapps 10.2.x 20130813
- reboot system now
After reboot, i'm in the welcome modus - i choose German - then start - then i can choose the connection WLAN or skip with data. In this part i get allready an error massage "com.google.android.gsf.login" and "unfurnatly google account manager was shut down". After that i'm back again in the choose-connection area. After chosing WLAN or skip and use data, i always get the above mentioned message.
Restore 10.1 again
2.
like above, but extra mounts and storage - format /system
- Result like 1
3.
Just update from 10.1 to 10.2 with CWM, without wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - wipe dalvic cache.
- Result 4.3 is on my mobile, but there ist still the error massage from above.
4.
like 3, but i deleted the Google account in 10.1. Just uodated to 10.2 without wiping.
- Result -> no error massages, but i can't add google account. I clik on add account - google -> but nothing happen.
I don't know what to do. Do somebody have any idea? Where is my oult?

Your foult is that you didn't read pawitp's opening post carefully. All steps untill gapps were fine, then after gapps you should have remained in CWM recovery and go to advanced restore and restore your /data from last nandroid backup from cm10.1, it works perfectly well.
I would advice you not to install 20130824 build anymore as it has some serious bugs (I run it in my i9000 and it works perfectly fine but some people had total re-formatting ofntheninternal SD card and data lost) but wait now for just short, any moment nightly 20130827 will be uploaded. The bugs are fixed there.
Then you can repeat proceeding once again as above and accomplish with /data restore. Then it should work fine again
Ok, i try it
Last question before i try, i have to restore just /data, wich backup do i have to do, full backup or just /data?
Thanx a lot

OK, now the new nightly build is there, CM10.2 20130827
Do all your steps as above (download zip, go to recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache under "advanced", install 20130827 zip, stop here) now new:
if your last installed build is 10.2 you have already installed gapps for CM10.2 so you can skip re-installing them again
now go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup of the CM10.1, where your google account was still working fine
choose now from your last nandroid file the option: "restore /data"
after restore is finished go back to main menu and reboot the system
Unless if you have formatted your SD card meanwhile, all your data will be back like they were in the CM10.1 (also your google account) and your new CM10.2 will work fine.

Hy, i tried what you said. I restored 10.1 before it
*
wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache - advanced .. wipe dalvic cache*- install 10.2
then - flash gapps for 10.2
then - restore just data
reboot system
*
4.3 is on my mobile, google account seems to be OK. But then i recognized, that my Contacts, Keep, Google+ and some other points doesn't synchronize. I've tried flash gapps again, then restore data -> error massage "google account closed"
*
My next step was to do above mentioned again - same error massage
*
So, i do it again. After wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache a.s.o. i had a look in my storage/sdcard0. It was full of old data, so i extra formated /system and formated /storage/sdcard0. After that i flashed 10.2 and gapps again and restored data. I receive the same sh.. error again and google account doesn't work.
*
Now i restored 10.1 again completely
*
Any idea?

Did you enable contacts sync in your accounts? Other thing you can do is to export all your contacts (in "people" ) as vfc data and after the upgrade import it from your SD card. I did that as I don't like google sync functions (for having few accounts) so I only enabled sync for the apps.
Other great thing is to use free app "SMS backup&restore" and "Call logs backup&restore" (by the same developer) from play store. The apps work for any android version and backup data is compatible to restore as well
Try to post in the development thread of nightly cm10.2 for i9000 or read through, I think also somebody else reported problems with google account, maybe it is solved why it happened.
BTW: for next flashing don't use nightly 20130827 anymore as the new 20130828 is out and it has many bug fixes

Hy, i'm again. I try it with the newest cm, with the same result. I flashed exactly like the developer said. No error message, but play store, contacts and some other things don't work.
I would like to post in the development Center, but I am a to young forum member.
Maybe you could post for me my problem or the link to this posts?

Just one question: did you flash the gapps for 4.3 as well? Developer pawitp is a genious person and he doesn't mention it anymore in his first posts (he thinks that everybody knows it.....)
If you didn't, you can do it later as well, just download them and install zip in recovery mode..... Sorry if it doesn't work. Then would be better to wait untilmstable version is released. CM 10.2 works in my i9000 amazing, but another people report bugs.
Of course, i flashed gapps for 4.3. Some user posted in developement thread, that they solved the problem with the google account with Titanium Backup. They restored data with TB. Do you know what i have to backup / restore: user apps & data & system data?
*
Could you*post a question fpr me in the developement thread if this problem is known to the developers and if they have a resolution? Maybe they are allready working on it and solve the problem in next nightlys?

No, mate, if you meant CWM recovery. I would also use Titanium backup app for that, there can't go so wrong.

you have no idea how little free time I have. But you're already on 5 posts, just five more and you will be able to post the questions in development threads. It is anyway better that you describe what the problem is. I think I saw in CM10.2 thread yesterday that the developer pawitp works on that.
EDIT: BTW, restoring /data from nandroid backup made with CM10.1x under CWM recovery -->advanced restore is possible without problems. But I think we have mentioned that already in last posts...
OK, I can understand you.
What do I have to do first: flash gapps or restore /data?
have you checked that dataprotection for these apps is not enabled?

I've posted your question and left link to this thread in the CM10.2 development topic. Hope somebody will answer soon.
If your Google account worked well in CM10.1x, I would say you should try this way:
download the newest CM10.2 nightly zip (20130830) directly here: http://get.cm/get/amd
download Google Apps zip for Android 4.3
run CWM recovery mode
try option "install zip" and don't install yet, just check if your zip files are visible for the CWM recovery in the folder where you saved them
return to main menu and wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache under "advanced"
install zip CM10.2 nightly
install GApps for 4.3
go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup file made by CM10.1 build where your Google account worked well
now choose (from that nandroid backup file) the option "restore /data"
after your data are restored, go back to the main menu and reboot the system
Let me know if it worked. Please quote at least little bit of my text (click "reply" beyond my post) so I will get the notification that you've quoted me, otherwise I don't see when you answer
p.s. good point by @Marvi70 just one post before (this one) mine

BTW, after your post about Titanium Backup I've tried indeed to restore data only from my old backup of Angry Birds app, it went perfectly well
Backup file was done with rooted Froyo 2.2 and restored in CyanogenMod 10.2
Before importing the data saved in different ROM, I used the settings exactly like described on the website of Titanium. I've checked again CM development posts about Titanium backup and they talk indeed about the one shouldn't restore whole apps.... but data only seems not to be a problem!
Big thanks, mate!
Mainly caused by not properly following the steps below
1. Boot into CwM or TWRP recovery.
Wipe cache, dalvik cache and data.
2. Flash rom.zip. and Reboot.
Allow tab up to 20 minutes (usually takes much less time) to reboot to the initial Setup screen.
Complete the initial setup (CM Account setup is optional).
3. Go to Settings, and enable Developer Options, allow installation from Unknown Sources,
enable Android Debugging, enable Advanced Reboot, etc. and then Reboot.
4. install GApps.
My experience is that the most important parts are
A. wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and wipe data, if you are not sure, you can do this every time before flashing any .zip and before booting. It won't hurt to wipe it many times.
B. make sure completed configuring all the setting on step 3, including "allow installation from Unknown Sources", before install GApps.
If you believe any step is not right or not necessary, please let me know.

Since a while i wipe cache and dalvik cache again after installing GApps in step 4 and till now it works perfectly.
PS: i dont wipe data every time in step 1, execpt it is a major Rom update
New Verizon S6 Edge (sitting in the box for 1-2 years) and I used the OEM adaptive fast charger to bring it from zero to 100% and then waited 10-15 minutes.
I used the built-in OTA updater, not Samsung/Verizon's Software Upgrade Assistant, and went through 11 system updates over the course of 2-3 hours. Out of curiosity, would using the SUA have reduced the number of updates to apply? Edit: I am almost certain now SUA updates straight to the current build (based on their wording, link at bottom). Apparently if I wanted to go straight to current system build, I should have used SUA or a tool such as Odin to flash the stock firmware directly.
Here is a list of the software builds I went through:
G925VVRU3BOG5 - This was the build on my phone out of the box.
G925VVRU4BOG7
G925VVRU4BOG9
G925VVRU4BOK7
G925VVRU4CPC2 - This is the first official build of Marshmallow for this phone. After update success, I decided to wait a few minutes and then restart the phone.
G925VVRU4CPD2 - I received error 404 after automatic download failed. Manual download attempt OTA was successful.
G925VVRU4CPF4 - I received error 401 after answering no to the automatic download request because I was trying to prevent the error above. Manual download attempt OTA was successful.
G925VVRU4CPH1
G925VVRS4CPI2
G925VVRU4CPK2
G925VVRS4CPL3 - My battery charge ticked down from 41% to 40% just before I applied this update, 35% upon completion/success message.
G925VVRS4CQA3 - This is the last Marshmallow build available for this phone.
On Verizon's webpage it says to have at least 40% charge or 20% when hooked up to the charger. I am worried because I did not connect my phone back up to the charger for these last two updates. The last one really bothers me because it was 34% when applied and 29% upon completion/success message. Is there a way to verify everything was written correctly? Should I even be worried?
With exception of a few failed downloads, all updates -when applied- said successful first try.
I have the understanding that it is important to wipe (system) cache partition and wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu after major system updates to avoid all sorts of potential problems. So, here are my questions:
Does wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu also wipe (system) cache partition? If not, should I wipe cache partition before or after? I have found conflicting information on this. Edit: It is so confusing because when you search around there are tutorials only mentioning the reset, others saying to wipe cache before reset and vice versa! There are also people going as far as doing both of these before -and- after a system update! Edit 2: It appears that wipe data/factory reset formats /data, /cache and /sbfs partitions. So, wipe cache partition is redundant when performing a factory reset from the recovery menu.
Both of these videos demonstrate wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset. You will see /cache is unnecessarily formatted twice (picard facepalm).
https://youtu.be/-Y-aHwdjAZA?t=175
https://youtu.be/NUsV75KFLzA?t=65
Note: there is no Google account to remove (Factory Reset Protection/FRP, Google Account Lock etc) as this is a new phone.
I am under the impression that I should clear all app cache, app data and maybe reset network settings before I attempt the recovery menu methods above. This is overkill/redundant, right? Edit: All this stuff appears to be stored in somewhere in /data (even an app's cache, within a subfolder of each app).
Aside from backup (in my case does not apply), is there anything I should do before (or after) recovery menu wipe(s)? I want to ensure clean slate. Edit: It seems wiping /data and /cache is all you can do in terms of user-accessible data.
I notice there is a "Factory data reset" option from within the OS under Settings: Backup and Reset. Does this behave any differently from the recovery menu method? Edit: I found via thedroidguy.com that it does not reformat the /data partition as the recovery menu reset does but only clears it. It also has Backup and Restore options. Are there any other differences? Does it clear other partitions than /data?
Also, I notice in Settings: About Phone: Status there is "Factory data reset". For me, it says "Unknown". I assume this value is a counter, log or timestamp of the last known factory data reset(s). Maybe it is only triggered when the reset is performed within the OS, but I have no idea. Anyone know what this really is? Will a recovery menu factory reset trigger it?
Under Settings: Storage there is Cached Data. If I clear this, does it include all application cache -and- all application data or just the app cache? Edit: I am pretty sure now it just clears all applications' cache, so it shouldn't affect anything unless maybe an app is poorly coded and stores things in cache that should be elsewhere. On a related note, when clearing app data from apps individually its app cache will also be cleared. I am not sure if clearing Cached Data from this Storage menu touches the system cache partition.
Any documentation or links would be very much appreciated; I am running out of steam here sifting through search results with different keywords and modifiers.
If anything I said is wrong or not entirely correct please say so!

Brand new, factory unlocked XT-1929-4. Unlocked bootloader, ran Moto Rescue to upgrade to Pie. Patched boot.img and rooted with Magisk, wiped cache.
Installed and configured my apps and been using it for about week. Noticed that it does ring occasionally, but other than that, no notifications come through at all, SMS, calendar, etc.
Figured I needed to wipe the cache again, but when I restart in recovery, there's no option to wipe cache. All the other options are there.
I was able to wipe cache by booting Magisk through fastboot, but I'm wondering what happened to the stock recovery. I'm thinking I'll probably need it when I'm away from my PC sometime.
Any ideas?
So nobody else with a Magisk-rooted Z3 Play lost the option to wipe cache in recovery?
I'm running stock rom and I had similar problem with "ghost" notification. After next ghost go to Setting -> App & notifications -> Notifications -> See all from last 7 days -> Press 3 dots and "Show system". On top list you will find which app causes this issue. In my case that was "Download Manager" - just uncheck "Done" notification or disable all in this app.
