[Q] Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped

I ROM'ed my phone from PilotX Rom to Cyanogen Mod (cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd-2.zip).
That worked but then I didn't have my Google Apps.
I booted into Recovery and added Google Apps (the latest) then I got the error message
"Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped"
Then I booted into Recovery again and did a fresh ROM to Cyanogen Mod and this time and installed the "one previous" Google Apps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip)
Now when I reboot my phone takes me directly to the "enter your Google account details" screen, but I can't do that because I have the "Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped".
Right now I can't even get to Settings / Applications / Keyboard to delete data or clear cache.
The Cyanogen Mod ROM seems like a big improvement over the (old) PilotX ROM I was using before. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Update: I ROM'ed it again without choosing to also install the Google Apps.
Now I have the Google apps and I was able to type without the "(AOSP) has stopped" error.
I entered the details for my Google accounts. I now see (at least most of) my contacts. (A problem yet to be worked out? Or just in the process of sync'ing?)
I hope this keeps working.
Now I need to get all my old apps back.
I used Titanium Backup
I also chose the backup option when ROM'ing.

[solved] Bug (PA 2.6/14, kk 126) -- trying to access "About Phone" crashes Settings

Bug (PA 2.6 build 14, kk 126) -- trying to access "About Phone" crashes Settings menu
Long-time lurker, first time contributor -- I would have posted this in the dev forum thread, but unfortunately I'm a newbie (at least by post count) and don't have posting privileges there. Suppose that's what I get for being all silent-like.
Phone model: p990hN (Canada)
ROM: PA 2.6, build 14
Kernel: kk exp 126
Bug occurred shortly after flashing the above (with standard JB gapps) from a full wipe (full wipe/factory reset, wipe system, wipe dalvik), then installing PA, gapps, and kk in that order (followed by some user apps). When attempting to access the "About Phone" sub-menu from the Setting menu, I'm booted out of the Settings app with the error message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Rebooting and trying to access the "About Phone" menu again yields the same response. Also tried clearing data for Settings, but the same behaviour occurs.
Phone operation seems otherwise normal (obviously awesome given that I flashed from a full-wipe something like half an hour ago), and this problem doesn't appear to otherwise affect the user experience, so definitely not an important bug, but just thought I'd get it out there.
(if tonyp reads this -- thanks for everything!)

Edit2: Updated Settings.apk which _should_ fix the Settings FC when going to Settings -> About phone.
Thanks at @kenra for reporting this and sending a log. Another great example why logs are important, as I don't have the ROM flashed there's no way to fix an issue without logs - so keep that in mind

Remember you have to push it yourself to system/app. Set permessions when done

Oops, search fail for me. Updating Settings.apk and fixing permissions worked for me. Thanks!

[Q] Help?! Error message

When I tried to go on my phone this morning, I started getting an error message. It said that 'Com.android.phone' had stopped working, and I cannot remove it as another one pops up every time I close it. Occasionally it changes to 'Settings has unfortunately stopped working', 'Dialer has unfortunately stopped working', etc. Along with this, it randomly restarts, and I cant fix it. It is not a rooted device, and clearing the Cache from the recovery menu did not work.
Any suggestions, as I really do not want to factory reset it?
Thanks, Rahim
Edit: Forgot to mention that it keeps saying preparing SIM card at the bottom

Try this:
- On the Home Screen of your phone, Press Menu
- Now Tap Settings
- Now Tap Applications
- Tap Manage Applications
- Now at the Top, Tap the All tab
- Now Navigate to and tap your equivalent of the phone app (may be called phone or dialer)
- Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data as available
- Now Turn Your Phone off, then back on.
OR:
2. Clear Cache and Data of the SIM Toolkit
Repeat the steps shown above. But this time, choose SIM toolkit from the list of apps under the All tab.

Thanks for the reply, but I tried that previously and the 'Clear data' and 'Clear Cache' are blanked out for both of them so I can't press it

make sure they are stopped.
"Force Stop" then try clear cache.

I can no longer get onto apps, so it seems I have no choice but to factory reset it
Do you know what could have caused this, so I can avoid it next time?
Thanks

Corrupt data maybe on a force shutdown. My phone was charging just now and decided to reboot and gave a error report but don't know the reason.
Some say google apps cache other dialer cache. Maybe someone else have a better ideia.
Use HTC backup. It backups everything...photos, definitions, emails, etc.

Stuck on Boot: System UI has stopped Working

Hi all,
once my S5 mini boots up, it shows "System UI has stopped Working" and shows only my wallpaper. Power button is still working (i.e. shutdown menu appears), home button turns on display, anything else doesn't work.
Here is what I tried without success:
- remove SIM/SD
- go to airplane mode (possible from the menu when holding down power)
- Boot into "safe mode"
- Wipe cache in recovery mode
- use Kies (and Lite) to copy/reset (not working..)
- use Smart Switch to copy data to another phone
What seems to be the problem is the "Google App", according to various posts; e.g. [1, 2, ...]. But I cannot access settings and disable the app.
Is there any way to activate adb without being able to grant permissions from the phone and use it to remove the app? Any other ways to uninstall/reset this particular app?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
yyy

Alright, it didn't leave me alone
I managed to get my files by flashing TWRP into recovery and getting contacts2.db (and everything else I needed) with adb pull.
Even wiping the Dalvik / ART Cache and the Cache from TWRP had no effect on the hangup. Even bute-deleting the searchbar-app didnt do nothing.
Godspeed to everyone with the same problem.

[MODULE] Google Contacts Storage (works with Google Phone)

DESCRIPTION
If you have the Pixel Experience module installed on your phone and installed Google Phone from the Play Store or ever tried to use a patched Google Phone version (such as this one), you may have noticed that Google Phone force closes when you try to search for a contact or while opening the keypad. This Magisk module attempts to fix that and it works by replacing your non-AOSP contacts storage with Google's own version, the one supported by Google Phone.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Supports Android versions from Android 7 (Nougat) to Android P.
It will remove any phone/dialer/contacts/people applications from your phone (if supported) because they are incompatible with Google's Contacts Storage.
You should only install this module if you want/need to use Google Phone and Google Contacts.
TESTED/SUPPORTED DEVICES
HTC 10 (Sense based ROMs).
Note: It should work with other devices but I have no means no test them myself, I can only rely on the community to test this for me.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Install the Magisk module as usual but DO NOT reboot your device just yet.
Go into "Settings » Accounts & Sync" and disable "Automatically sync data".
Go into "Settings » Apps" a, look for "Contacts Storage" (it's a system app) and clear application data.
Reboot your device now!
Go into "Settings » Accounts & Sync" and enable "Automatically sync data".
Google Phone should now work without force closing, hopefully.
Note: If you ever want/need to disable this module, you should also follow the procedure above (disable module, disable data synchronization, clear contacts storage data, reboot, and re-enable contacts synchronization).
DISCLAIMER
Install this module at your own risk.
Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
Please take all necessary precautions (like a nandroid backup) before installing this module.

@rfgamaral after installing magisk module and rebooting i keep getting android.process.acore has stopped.
I cannot get rid of it. By pressing ok all the time i managed to arrive to Apps but there is no Contact Storage app to clear data/cache after the reboot.

I also got that error when developing this module but I never got it after installing/enabling it, only after disabling it.
For some reason, the system does not recognize the /system/priv-app/ContactsProvider/ContactsProvider.apk (although the file is there). I'm not sure how to fix this to be honest, so I recommend you restore your backup to get you back to a working state. Maybe try the whole process again (makre sure you follow every single step) and instead of rebooting the system after installing the module, reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik/ART and cache. If that doesn't help, restore the device again until a solution for this problem is found.
Like I said, I also had this problem and because I live on the edge, I didn't make a backup of my system (idiot me). I had to make the system recognize the ContactsProvider.apk file and wen into recovery, deleted, copied it back from my ROM, set proper folder/file permissions, wiped dalvik/ART and cache and rebooted, the problem was gone. I installed my module again and it worked. But I'm honestly afraid to disable it and get that error back.
Which is weird because I'm replacing this file systemlessly, that's the whole point of Magisk. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm no expert... We'll probably need help from someone with more knowledge on the whole Android system. But for the record, I currently have the version available on this thread installed on my phone. I have the Pixel Experience module installed and installed Google Phone from the store, it doesn't force close and all features seem to be working. I just need to get this module stable.

@stathis95194 Were you able to restore your device? I hope so... I've uploaded a new test version, didn't change much, not sure if it fixes anything.

@rfgamaral soooo after flashing 0.0.4 i faced the same issue with android.process.acore has stopped popping all the time.
This time i took a different approach and didn't restore my nandroid. Instead i dirty flashed my LeeDroid rom.
Rebooted and lo and behold, stock dialer and contacts were missing and google phone was working perfectly. No crashing on searching (nearby places is working)
Now i need to test caller id and spam filter
I will keep testing and let you know.

Awesome, glad you got it working.
Now I just need to understand why installing this module crashes android.process.acore... But it's a bummer that this is happening, a little price to pay, I guess? At least until a fix is found... That and that whole install procedure which is required to avoid other different crashes because of incompatible storages.

Hi
I'm running 2.42.400.3 on U11.
I installed this and google phone from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
Dialer kept crashing so I installed your mod.
After that,com.android .phone keeps crashing.
I unistalled it and then I got acore crashing.
I restored feom nandroid but for some reason kept getting the acore crash, so I completely uninstalled magisk.
Now.... everything works. Even the dialer.
I'm really not sure what happened but.... thanks
