So I have failed...
I did an upgrade from Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 to 4.2.8 by using CM Updater, as always, and didn't bother with performing a backup or wiping.
This upgrade procedure used to work without any problems, but now I find my G1 telling me "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and I'm not able to do much before the message pops up.
I can receive phone calls, but other than that I'm pretty much helpless.
What I have done so far, is to re-flash both with the same image, and 4.2.6 which I had on the sd card.
I have also tried the fix_permissions command, and the check/fix ext, but nothing has helped me so far.
What I was hoping for, was that somehow I could be able to at least start Mybackup Pro to perform a (last) backup of my messages (SMS/MMS) and my phone log, before I wipe and install 4.2.8 again, hopefully with better luck.
Or, is it possible to perform a "manual backup" of these items by accessing the sd card directly? I have an Apps partition, does any of these Items belong there where I can make a copy?
Or is it possible to flash an older Cyanogen ROM that would more likely work without the acore error, and let me run Mybackup?
My computer is running Linux (Ubuntu), I have no ADB access, but I am able to mount the sd card via the G1 (the notification bar is possible to access, and it seems that any thirdparty program that I may succeed in launching will not be affected by the acore error, but I have tried 30 times to pull up the app list to start mybackup but I'm hit with the acore error each time...).
Any hints are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Christopher
I'm getting the same thing ...acore
This is my first post in a forum but long time reader of xda. I don't know the common lingo but know how to get around to do things to my goofy little phone. I did a google search on CM 4.2.8 and the acore error that brought me here.
I'm getting the same error even though I'm using MT3G. I was getting this error back in the past couple CM versions, kept doing an CM updates thinking next version would clean things up. The acore error continued on making calls, opening browser, opening market or etc. Eventually FC started happening. These occurances always happenned 8 to 20 hours after update/install of CM and light use of my phone.
Last night I decided to do a CM clean install to what the CM wiki or CM xda guided me to perform (flashed 1.5 nbh, FlashRec, 1.6 base and CM 4.2.8). I didn't bring back any old apps since I didn't have anything worth saving. Phone was running great untill making a call this afternoon ...got that dreaded "The process android.process.acore has stopped..." message again. I'm going to try another one of my older micro sd cards thinking my class 6 PNY might be crapping out. Hopefully someone might have some more information for us before I try this route. Anyone please help and guide us to the right information to correct this. Thanks, Greg.
This is proper step, do this when you get the chance..
1.Wipe everything
2.Install 1.6ADP Htc
3.Install cyan right after
4.reboot
5.should goto recovery again, now reboot once more
6.bam-back in action
Does anyone know if it is possible, with a Cyanogen ROM, to make a copy of a few system databases just by taking the SD card and inserting it into a card reader of a computer?
My SD card has three partitions: data, apps, swap.
I need a backup of
* messages (sms/mms)
* phone log (incoming/outgoing calls)
* browser bookmarks
If I wipe my phone, I will loose these... :-(

Or by booting into Recovery, and enter Terminal - can I somehow manually copy these data files from the phone to the SD card, and then restore them after a full "re-flash" with wipe and the works?

I was finally able to run MyBackupPro by using the search function - on the 15th try or something, MyBackupPro finally showed up as an application finding and it ran without problems. So I have now made a successful backup of the most important databases. I tried to start a few other applications by searching for them as well, but they never showed up in the results. Oh well, I guess I will just perform a wipe and reflash of latest Cyanogen ROM, and then start re-installing applications again.

Did this work for you? I have a G1 with same ver of CyanogenMod that started giving me the android.process.acore error to when trying to place a call. Wonder if there is a issues with Cyanogen's 4.2.8 & 4.2.8.1 mods...
I've never had a problem with my Nexus one with any of the cyanogen roms, but when I updated to RC2, now my phone won't install apps. It'll download fine, but will freeze at the "installing" part. I've wiped and reverted to my nandroid backup, but now it won't install any apps from the market. I've searched the forum and I've tried, wiping everything and flashed RC1 and RC2, still no luck. Is anybody else having this problem and is there a fix? Please advise, thanks.
This happens to me about 50% of the time when changing ROMS. Try going to settings>applications>market> Force stop, then CLEAR DATA & CLEAR CACHE. Then next time you open the market you will get the terms of service again and you should be able to download and install. Hope that works for you.
(It could be related to the phone having too many processes to do immediately after flashing as well, so give it a few minutes to catch up as well.)
I tried that method and it didn't work for me, however I did find a similar post and they mentioned to delete the folders .android_secure , Android, download, LOST.DIR on the SD card. That actually fixed the problem, hope this helps other people.
I found today I couldn't install apps, got a "Not enough space" dialog... My SD card was 100% full, must download to the SD card temporarily. Whoops.
OK here is the deal.
I have a Note with rooted stock ROM KKA and many apps (300+ probably).
This has probably led to some random reboots, sometimes it rebooted 5 times in a row, sometimes I get 10 days without a reboot.
This led me to start toying with new ROMs etc. ...but I didn't even begin.
I use Mobile Odin Pro for most of these things, so I used it to flash franco #8 kernel to have a "better" kernel for my needs (plus CWM that I didn't have up to that point - just root).
Now, maybe it is some app updates, maybe it is that I extensively move apps to SD (always using Note's own app manager), maybe that I used that kernel, but "somewhere at that point" Note reboots REALLY REALLY got worse to the point that I cannot use it.
I did change the kernel to CF-Root (which is actually like stock + CWM) for KKA, but didn't improve things.
Note boots, I get to the normal Android screen but seems that it refreshes 2-3 times until it freezes and then Note either completely reboots (I get white text "Galaxy Note" etc.) or does some kind of "soft reboot" where I get a black screen and Android normal screen with my clock etc. comes back up. Then after a while the same, even if I am doing something else (moved away from the main screen). Also not all the times I get a request for my SIM PIN (just some times), leading to believe that either radio stays "on" during that "reboot" or doesn't get initialized properly.
I've noticed that it is DIRECTLY related to my SD being in the device or not. When I remove it (with device off - of course), Note boots ok and keeps working (although lacks a tone of my apps).
I have fully surface tested the SD. It is a Samsung (I got Samsung on purpose) 32GB C10. Doesn't seem to be "hardware" related.
Since I have CWM (and root of course) is there any debugging info I could read somewhere, most probably a boot log or something that COULD lead me to the problem? It could be a misbihaving app running during boot and being on SD (although I did try not to move such apps in SD). It could be related to the kernels I tried.
I didn't plan to wipe my device before official ICS.
Unfortunately I don't have proper backup either. (misbihaving Kies - I did make a CWM backup but it was already with the problem)
Any help appreciated.
...right... all those experts, yet not even a hint...
While I can't really help with the issue ... I'd just try a different SD to make 110% sure there's no issue with the current one, although it appears to be ok.
If you think it's an app all you can do is install or remove them one by one to find the one (or more) misbehaving, you can't really expect anyone to pinpoint THE ONE with just the info "I have 300+ apps" at hand, can you ?
No, of course.
But it would help if someone could give me a way to read a log or something. It is Linux under the sheets ain't it?
Try logcat App from market or logcollector. you can also collect logs from Android commander.
Adb command to get logs
Enable USB debugging
Connect Data cable
Open command prompt and get into adb command folder
and type this command
adb shell logcat log.txt
it ll create a text file in the same folder.
Thanks for the info.
In the meantime I found out but putting all SD apps in a subfolder and putting them back in (with new reboot each time) few by few, that indeed some (few) apps create the problem. I haven't EXACTLY pinpointed yet and I am not sure if a certain... mix is to blame, but it's better to loose maybe 10 apps than have this mess.
I plan to wipe and do some more selective app instalation after ICS is officially out for Note.

Hi
Try doing the following if you have CWM recovery installed. Reboot into recovery -go to advanced, clean cache and fix permissions. That should resolve your issue.

Sorry to be late on this, but I can confirm from my own experience that after a certain number of apps transferred on SD, I got soft bootloop too.
To stop that madness, I had to boot my Note without its external microsd card, and uninstall some of the transferred apps. Thereafter I could boot even with card. But eventually I chose to keep almost all apps in internal memory, and externalize only those 2-3 which are really huge (including the Ebook update from Samsung which takes some 30 megabytes itself).

didn't help,but thx anyways.
as it seems that no body is wiling to help,I'm gonna share my investigations results :
-results are the same in ICS roms.
-it seems that this happens when the number of installed goes over 100 (or something close to it) no matter in the int-sd or ext-sd.
-stock rom and kernel and clean install doesn't make any difference.
-during the media initialization phone goes extra hot and battery drains very fast.
so in conclusion I think it's either hardware related think or OS restriction...
any further help or comment is highly appreciated.
Suggestion. Move all apps first to phone. Format the card. Retain all system related apps like ROM manager, backup, memory cleaner, browser, camera etc. on phone itself. Move other apps which are likely to remain live all the time to internal sd card. Move the balance to external sd card. Thus helped with a similar problem on windows phone 7.
If the above doesn't help, try freezing batches of apps using an app like bloat freezer to zero down on the problem.
Sometimes, an erroneous movement of system cache to external card also causes this problem.

solution to your apps 2 sd move problem
See some of my previous posts by doing a search where i have referred to this problem and also the solution.
Basically the note is sh1t at moving apps to sd card. Especially after the apps count goes above hundred or so. Many times the phone software tells that the app is moved to sd card but it has been moved in a faulty manner and subsequently the phone starts reboot loops which is only solved by pulling out the sd card and deleting the affected apps which are always apps that have been moved to sd card.
Presently have 352 apps on my phone and it is working fine but this has been after many many many frustrating moments at trial and error and realising the samsung galaxy note is sh1t at moving apps to sd card and finding work arounds which are slow but work.
Your solution to the problem,
remove the auto update feature for any app on the android market or elsewhere if that app has been moved to sd card.
uninstall sd card or pull it out battery and then remove card reboot loops prevent uninstalling card. my phone sometimes went into reboot loops for 8hours at a stertch with the phone being unusable through out.
go to the application manager (from samsung and not the android one) and select from drop down list to sort apps by size and delete all apps that are shown as having a size of 4kb / 8kb / 12kb (when actual size is many times bigger)
reinstall sd card and restart phone and phone will work fine if you have deleted all apps of the sizes mentioned above.
then to prevent the problem from recurring again always manually update any apps that have been moved to sd card ONE AT A TIME other wise problem recurs without fail as this phone is **** at moving apps to sd after a hundred or so app are on phone
you can auto update any apps that have not been moved to sd
keep apps on phone if they are to do with file managers / browsers / camera apps etc
the above has been deduced by me by trial and error and months of frustration with the sh1t apps 2 sd move capabilities of this phone
DONT BATCH MOVE apps to sd using apps like app2sdmove etc as the problem will recur and move any app manually one by one if you have loads of apps
Following the above method my phone works fine now with about 352 apps but occassionally when i accidentally autoupdate a few apps together that have been moved to sd card then the problem recurs and i have to delete apps as mentioned above and reinstal then works fine. But it is a f*cking pain reinstalling many apps manually one by one but no option due to the crap capabilities of this phone for the purposes of apps2sd move.
I dont face this problem with two of my lower specced android phones
Also this phone gets internal memory errors when about 200mb is free and freezes over when about 190mb left. Where as my old htc desire with poorer hardware used to work fine even when 4-5mb free on 2.1 firmware and needed 15mb free with 2.2 firmware but the note with much better hardware struggles when 200mb is free.
Presently using my above tried and tested advice i have about 1.65gb of apps on internal memory (352 apps) and with 72 apps moved to card with rest on phone even though a further 75 can be moved to card i have opted not to move them due to the disability of this phone to move them properly without getting reboot loops and phone is working fine but lags for home button presses. Cant wait for ICS and hoping that this situation hopefully gets resolved or will have to upgrade sooner than intended originally as fed up with the apps2sd move 'disability' of this phone. I would be surprised if any other android phone had a ****tier apps 2 sd move capability like this phone has. I am pleased about the rest of the phone but the limitation is irritating as have had to repeatedly uninstall and reinstall apps. But now that i know the limitation it is a bit easier to work around as mentioned above.
Has your problem been resolved following the advice I gave yesterday?
Well the problem stopped when I moves some of the apps to a folder in SD card (so they couldn't be "seen" by the OS) until... yesterday when it started again (possibly after some app updates).
I will probably do the same (move them off to a folder and back to install position few by few) until ICS comes and I wipe my phone (and reinstall fewer apps).
BTW, wiping caches and rebuilding permisions did not help.

Try to move to SD only apps which do not start at boot and do not run in background. Works for me.

Don't bother creating folders and making apps useless etc. just follow my advice mentioned in previous posts in this and other threads and your device will work fine with more than Three hundred apps. It just works around the crap sd move capabilities of this phone. Just hope some people from Samsung see this thread as this problem is easily reproducible and predictable.

Will do. Needs time and I don't have it.
I have Baseband G900AUCU2ANG3
Rom is 4.4.2
Build number KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3
It is a rooted SM-G900A with safestrap installed and working.
Heres my problem. I am having problems with writing to my External SD card. I used app2sd to move only the apps that are specified in the app manager as moovable, and had success.
But I used SDfix for correcting the r/w of the sd with limited success. Though most pics moved successfully, lately, when I move them, some "break". Also, I have around 20 movies on the SD working, but, also lately, when I move newly downloaded movies, sometimes I have success. Other times the video only party transfers or breaks completely. The wierd thing is that the same video can do all three things. Break sometimes, partially move, and in some cases successful transfer. I have checked the permissions of everything and it seems to check out. I have busy box pro and rom toolbox pro installed also, but even using rom toolbox i have the same problem. I have even tried my pc, but when I put the SD back in my phone, same thing. I also noticed that some items successful moved will be either broken later or just gone. This includes photos, movies, saved PC programs and more. Can anyone help me figure this out. Ive tried and checked everything I can think if.
I've been reading forums, blogs, etc for nearly 6 hours now trying to get this to work.
What I have: Nook HD+ with 32GB internal storage and I have a 32GB microSD card.
What I want: To get rid (if possible) of the stock Nook operating system entirely because sometimes it boots to it and it's very annoying.
Was trying to follow instructions here: http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2015/01/19/install-cyanogenmod-nook-hdplus/
But having zero luck getting CWM working. First of all, which CWM and I supposed to use? There's so many versions and files floating around out there.
What should the partition be on my SD card? Should there be more than one partition? I've done this before with cell phones and never had any trouble, but I've wasted nearly a day trying to do this.
Every time I boot, it goes to the stock Nook crap.....At a loss for what to do. Please advise..
Have you tried following the guides at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 or at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899?
Yes, the first link you provided. I found that and was able to get everything done. My main problem, or what was taking me so long, was that I didn't have the partition set to active on the sd card. Once I fixed that, everything went smoothly.
