[Q] android.process.acore - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

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

I agree that you should
1. Factory reset +
2. Wipe Cache +
3. Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache in the CWM Recovery / Advanced, then after
4. Flash the ROM (and also Flash GApps

Step by Step: How I "Wiped" my Phone and Then ROM'ed It
I use ClockworkMod ROM Manager http://www.clockworkmod.com/
- Cool, during the "research" for writing this I came across the CWM Tether Drivers http://www.clockworkmod.com/tether/drivers. I've been having problems tethering my laptop to my phone. Hopefully this will resolve that problem.
- Copy all .zip files to root of your phone: cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip, gapps-jb-20120715.zip
- http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
- http://goo.im/gapps
- Long Hold on Power button to open "Phone Options"
- Select Reboot
on "Reboot phone" dialog box select "Recovery"
Phone reboots into "CWM-based Recovery" which is "ClockworkMod"
- in this mode you use the volume button to move up and down the list, and the power button to "select"
- Select the option to "Wipe data/factory reset"
- Arrow down to "Yes" and press the power button to select it
- That runs and you are taken back to the "CWM-based Recovery" screen
- Go down to "Wipe cache partition" and press the power button to select it
- Arrow down to "Yes" and select it
- That runs and you are taken back to the "CWM-based Recovery" screen
- Go down to "advanced" and select it
- Arrow down to "Wipe Dalvik cache"
- Arrow down to "Yes" and select it
You've "wiped" your System. Now it's time to ROM it.
- Choose " ***Go Back ***"
- Choose "install zip form sdcard"
You are taken to the "Apply update from .zip file on SD card" screen
- Choose "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select the ROM you have on the SDCard (you may have to arrow down a lot)
- You arrive at "Confirm install?"
- Select "Yes"
- That will run for a minute
- Again select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Arrow down to GApps and select it
- Arrow down to "Yes"
- Choose "*** Go Back***"
- Choose "reboot system now"
- Welcome to your New old phone. :laugh:

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

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)...

sir......is tis problem connected with tb? yes i ve tb and this problem happnd to me aftr restoring system datas (data only) from tb.....

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).

[Q] Insufficient space on device. Can't install any app

Hi fellow blackers,
My optimus black was on Nova Rom 2.2 v8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161015
And I flashed it to v20n:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441901
I followed the instructions specifically these two before proceeding with the zip install.
1. Wipe Data/Cache (if not wiped, might cause problem)
2. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache (same as data/cache, might cause problem)
After flashing, I can't seem to install any app from Market. It says that I have insufficient space on device.
So did some searching (google and here on XDA):
Here are their suggestions:
1. Install Marketfix - unfortunately, I can't install this because it is already saying I have insufficient space.
2. Clear market cache - after clearing (cache and data), I still says insufficient space
3. Uninstall market update - Going to settings - Application - manage application then selecting Market, I don't see any uninstall button. Just Force close, cancel and clear cache, clear data..
4. Finally I saw knzo's supposedly fix for this: Something to do with file system (nova is on EXT4 while stock is on EXT3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212370&highlight=insufficient
I wasn't able to try option 1 because the file was removed on all file sharing sites.
Options 2 and 3 - restore factory settings isn't working. The phone is not doing anything after I click Erase everything. It just hangs
Any other suggestions?
Try reflash ROM with wipe all data and cache in CWM including dalvik cash and formating partitions in "mounts&storage".
Or this!
Try wipe cache and dalvik cache...worked for me
hmm pardon me, but how do I boot into recovery? I tried powering the device on while holding volume down (also tried up and G button) but it didnt reboot into recovery.

Since I can;t install anything (rom manager etc.), I think I needed to do what you advised.

[Q] Phone won't boot after Ultimate JB ROM Upgrade

Can anyone please help?
I just installed the Ultimate JB ROM XXLSA 4.1.2 v5 upgrade on top of v4.
All went perfectly well and I was able to enter all my setup and account details after the initial boot of the phone.
When I tried to re-install apps from Google Play, however, (Titanium Backup Pro, Quickboot) the phone hangs at the Samsung Splash screen and won't go any further. I re-tried the procedure 3 times but each time the result is the same.
Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? I followed all the instructions about wiping etc. correctly.
Trevor
v4 and v5 use completely different bases (LS7 and LSA).
I would save everything to my ext SD card.
Then goto Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory Reset (don't click on format external sd card).
Your phone will restart and do some crazy things. Then restart again.
When you get to the welcome page, or bootloop... take the battery out (its safe).
Then hold Vol Up, Home and Power (let go of Power after ~5-15sec) and goto recovery.
In recovery, wipe cache.
Then format data.
Then format system.
Then format cache.
Then wipe Dalvik cache.
Then install the v5 zip.
It shouldn't restart automatically, but it might, don't worry let it.
Now you should have a fully, fresh, clean install of v5.
Connect to your wifi, go through the start up.
Goto SuperSU and update binary.
Goto Play Store and install TiBu.
Open TiBu and grant it root access.
Close TiBu.
Connect phone to PC, then copy your TitaniumBackup folder into your sdcard directory.
Open TiBU and now, it will see your previous saves.
Restore your apps + data.
Presto! No bootlooping and no App FC !
Thanks for going to all the trouble to write all that out.
I followed the instructions to the letter but no, same result I'm afraid: it worked fine but as soon as I installed Titanium and granted root access, it asked me to choose to restore the original phone ID which I did. The phone rebooted but then wouldn't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Note Gt-N7000" screen.
I have no choice but to restore from my Nandroid backup. This is really p****ng me off but at least I can restore v4 easily.
Thanks again

Mystery solved - well partly. Turns out Titanium Backup Pro was causing it on my phone for some reason. This was naturally the first app I wanted to install so I could restore apps one by one from the Nandroid backup. I tried Quickboot too which also caused the same problem so because TB and then QB did the same thing I assumed every app was going to cause trouble. Shouldn't jump to conclusions, I know.
I have JB Ultimate XXSLA v5 installed and am restoring my apps one at a time from Google Play and making new Nandroid backups as I go along.
And now I just tried installing TB free version - the phone boots normally! Then I installed the TB Pro version and again the phone boots normally. When TB was the first app I installed after the ROM upgrade it hung up the phone every time on 6 attempts. I'll try re-installing Quickboot now and see what happens. Conclusion: I must have been doing something in the wrong sequence but can's see what.
Many thanks for your help.

[Q] Can't Run Titanium Backup Before ROM'ing Phone

I have been getting error messages ("unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped") and have concluded that I need to ROM my phone.
See post here http://androidforums.com/huawei-ide...ss-acore-has-stopped-working.html#post5803220
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227732&goto=newpost
The problem is that I can't even run Titanium Backup now (it immediately crashes) and the Titanium directory is empty (meaning it had not been running nightly backups as I thought it was).
What should I do now. It occurred to me that I could ROM without "factory reset" and "wipe cache" just to try running Titanium Backup. If that works then I could ROM with "factory reset" and "wipe cache".
Does that make sense? Do you have a better suggestion?

I managed to copy all the files off my phone (internal SD card and External SD card). It looks like I won't be able to do a Titanium Backup. Will these files be helpful in restoring data.
unfortunately android keyboard aosp has stopped
No this is really frustrating. I did Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
I went into Recovery and Rom'ed CyanogenMod (cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip) and GApps (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip).

Can you give me some more specific guidance on how to do that for a GT-I9000. I opened up Odin and did some Google searching but I still don't understand what to do next.
Do you mean this?
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
>->->-[* Question: does that refer to CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KPA-v5.2-CWM5.zip which is at http://download.chainfire.eu/133/ *]
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

How do I "Put [my] phone in download mode"?
Does this just mean that I can copy files from my PC to a directory on my phone?
I can get into Recovery.
I finally found the "Recovery / Advanced / Wipe Dalvik Cache" fixed the ASOP Keyboard problem.

[Q] Daft CWM / LightJB question

I'm not allowed to ask this in the dev forum as I'm not up to my 10 posts quota, so sorry for posting this here!
In the LightJB instructions instruction 3 is "wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, wipe system"
I've got CWM installed (LQ4 and CoCore 6.0) and the options in the CWM recovery menu are "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition".
Am I right in assuming that I should choose to do both of those two options, and then also in the "advanced" menu do the "wipe dalvik cache" option too? Just checking! Once I've done this once, I'll become a natural at it...
Cheers!

I guess you're right... But why don't you just flash a CoCore E kernel with TWRP.. Wouldn't that be much easier?
Its way more user friendly than CWM....
And yes, do have a backup of everything as Factory Resetting and wiping data is going to erase all your apps, etc.
BTW- Questions like this belong to Q & A thread.. Not the Development thread

I guess I'd just heard more about CWM than TWRP. I might be a noob here, but I'm not put off by command line-type stuff. I can still remember how to join multiple uuencoded text files together to get lovely pictures of Winona Ryder appearing on my screen in 1993, before I'd even heard of a graphical browser.... happy days!

Matt,
Read my thread with CWM guide (see my signature) and i think you will be fine.
Do a Nandroid Backup before start to flash a new ROM.
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik cache
1. Download the ROM from the link given in the article featuring that ROM. It should be a zip file.
2. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount its storage card.
3. Copy the downloaded ROM to the root of the storage card.
4. Power your phone off and reboot it into recovery. This will involve using a combination of your device’s hardware keys. Once in recovery, you can navigate its menu using the volume up and volume down hardware keys or your phone’s trackball / optical track pad if it comes equipped with one.
5. Use the ‘backup and restore’ feature of recovery to backup your existing ROM installation, software and data. This step is known as performing a nandroid backup. ALWAYS perform a backup before flashing a custom ROM, UNLESS you can afford to lose everything that’s on your phone at the moment.
Note: ALWAYS choose to perform the following steps 6, 7 and 8 UNLESS the ROM you are attempting to flash is an updated version of the same ROM that you are currently using, and is compatible with the current installation’s data. It is usually mentioned with the update whether you can install it over a previous version without wiping its data or not.
6. Get back to the main recovery menu and use the option ‘wipe data/factory reset’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select “Yes – Delete all user data”.
7. From the main recovery menu, select ‘wipe cache partition’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Wipe Cache’.
8. From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘advanced’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Format/System’.
9. From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘Mounts and Storage’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Format/System’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Wipe Dalvik Cache’.
10. Go back to the main recovery menu by pressing the back button and select the ‘Install zip from SD card’ option.
11. Select ‘choose zip from sdcard’ to get a list of the files and folders on your SD card. Scroll to the ROM’s file that you copied there in step 3, and select it. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Install file_name.zip’ where file_name.zip is the name of the zip file that you are trying to install.
12. Wait patiently while the ROM is flashed to your phone via recovery.
13. Once the installation is complete, head back to the main recovery menu if you aren’t there, and select ‘reboot system now’. Your phone will now boot into the newly installed ROM.

Done, thanks!
My last question - when i've rebooted, I'm prompted to sign into my Google Account and re-install my apps from the google backup. Is this the "best" way to do it, or is it better to use alternative sch as Titanium? I'm not bothered about lost data, the only data I care about is in my gmail account anyway.

Reinstall your apps with that app you make backups. If you do it with Titanium, then go for it, and restore with Titanium.

Thanks. Its that sort of common sense stuff which I've found missing from many of the guides - they tell you how to root / flash etc, but leave nagging other questions unanswered - perhaps because the answers are so obvious to the authors that they are just second nature.
As it happens, I didn't bother with a Titanium backup as I wanted a clean phone - I've been trying to resolve a strange issue where my wifi goes really slow and stuttery after the phone has been on for a few hours. No-one else seems to have the issue, so I suspect it is down to at least one of my apps causing some chaos. With that in mind, a fresh install with no baggage seemed to be the best way to go.
(I used to suspect the Facebook apps (particularly Pages Manager) but I don't think they are the cause)
Thanks for all the help!

I guess you're right... But why don't you just flash a CoCore E kernel with TWRP.. Wouldn't that be much easier?
Its way more user friendly than CWM....
And yes, do have a backup of everything as Factory Resetting and wiping data is going to erase all your apps, etc.
BTW- Questions like this belong to Q & A thread.. Not the Development thread

For me cwm is more user friendly and more straight forward compared to twrp. I once tried twrp and after I mount system suddenly it said there's no os installed and I can't boot my phone. Luckily I can still enter download mode to flash back fw with odin. I don't understand how twrp works..haha :silly:

It was my pleasure, Matt. :highfive:
Well, for no other reason than that I wanted to tweak a few things before I started to live with LightJB, I chose to restore my phone using the CWM nandroid restore.
Bad move!
It all seemed to work fine, but on restoring I get the message that "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped". Mildly worrying, but moving on...
Then I came to try to reply to a sms message from my wife. Pressing in the reply box didn't bring up a keyboard. Odd.
I went into other apps and found I couldn't type there either.
Went into settings, and neither the samsung keyboard nor the swype keyboard appear to have been re-stored via the backup / restore.
Any hints?
Matt

CM13 20151114 "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped"

Just flashed cm-13.0-20151114-UNOFFICIAL-titan.zip on my XT1068 and that boots OK, I can also call and data seems to work.
If I install open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20151118.zip after reboot there's only the message "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" and I can't continue...
Any clues?

First updated to 20151117 which didn't change anything
Then
Factory reset
Install 20151117
Install Slim Zero GApps
Which resulted in the original message
Code:
Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped
and now alternated with message
Code:
Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped
showing very briefly (could've been there before as well

After
* Factory reset
* Install 20151117
the FC of Setup Wizard just comes back. Anything else I need to do to remove GApps when flashing?

Why did you make a new thread instead of asking in the main CM13 unofficial thread?

When I try to give the permissions, android says "Screen overlay detected- To change this permission setting you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps".
Can't continue...
Yesterday just got the same issue.
Wipe dalvik, cache, system ( but dont touch internal storage)
Install - choose CM zip, add another package - add OpenGapps Pico - flash - reboot. Voila.
Be sure to skip cache/dalvik wipe and just reboot
