Force closing occasionally, already tried usual fixes - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running virtuous rom 2.6 with the incredible revolution theme. Occasionally I will get gapps or google framework(?) force closing on me. I've tried fixing permissions with rom manager and installing the latest busy box and checking again. I've uninstalled a good portion of my applications (basics now, shouldn't be an application conflict). I've cleared data for gmail, gtasks (now uninstalled), google voice but no dice. People recommend to clear data for gapps but I don't see that listed.
They force close randomly, without a particular application being launched. Other than this I don't have any force closes with other applications or issues with the phone in general. I was running sky raider and didn't have issues but I have my phone just the way I like it right now and I'd like to avoid several hours of settings/restorations if possible.
Would clearing the ________ cache (not data) from recovery be a good idea? I'm not exactly sure what that does but it starts with a d I believe. I have a nandroid but it's from a few weeks ago and I just started college so a lot has changed. Rebooting doesn't help.

Help request with Market force close issue

Verison LTE Gnex.
Rooted with CWM installed. I can successfully flash any 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 ROM and everything works fine. Typical wipe dalvik, cache partitions, data, and /system. But after a few minutes, if I touch any of "my apps" in Market I get a force close of Market. I've tried going to settings/apps/all and wiping Market cache and data. Still a no go. Market is FC on 4.0.2 OTA also, now. I tried fixing permissions inside CWM and that did not help.
If I uninstall Market updates in settings/apps/all ("back to factory version"??), then Market will work for a few minutes, then revert to the same behavior.
I am attaching a logcat of the Market force close. If anyone can decipher this and provide some recommendations, I would appreciate it very much.
Edit: FWIW, I first noticed this problem when I was running Google's 2-step verification process. This got to be a PITA each time I flashed a new ROM (there's so much new candy in the store!). So, I turned 2-step off. Didn't seem to make a difference with this problem, though.

[Q] Google Maps Navigation Crash/FC

Google Maps/Navigation will force-close on me within a few minutes every time a navigation route is plotted. Sometimes after it FCs the navigation icon will remain in the status bar and will even re-connect on occasion, however usually it just kills the process. This has been a recurring issue for me throughout the last few ROMs I've been trying (both TW and non-TW). I should also mention that when Maps/Navigation is launched I always get a prompt for missing Voice Guidance, saying, "...you need to install text-to-speech support from Android Market" which takes me to the SpeechSynthesis Data Installer application. After installing it, the prompts disappear but Maps/Navigation still crashes within one minute of GPSing. Also, I have verified that the Pico TTS text-to-speech output is selected as the preferred engine (before installing SpeechSynthesis Data Installer, so not sure why that prompt is coming up every time on both TW and CM).
Here are the steps I have taken so far without success:
ATTEMPT 1
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Formatted Data from within TWRP
Flashed Slim 7, cleared cache/Dalvik
Flashed Slim Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik
Reboot, let phone sit, reboot
Installed Maps (crashed within 1 minute)
ATTEMPT 2 ([*gps fix] alternate gps fix])
Ran [root] Triangle Away - reset flash counter to 0
Odin back to stock TW
Samsung service mode *#197328640#
Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD
Waited 30 seconds, rebooted
Installed Maps (crashed within 1 minute)
ATTEMPT 3
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Formatted Data from within TWRP
Ran XquiziT_SuperWipe_SGH_T999 from TWRP
Rebooted back to TWRP
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Rebooted back to TWRP
Flashed LiquidSmooth v2.8, cleared cache/Dalvik
Flashed official Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik
Reboot
Install Maps
Settings>App Info>Maps>Clear data and Clear cache
Maps crashed within 1 minute
ATTEMPT 4
Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP
Formatted Data from within TWRP
Flashed Slim 7, cleared cache/Dalvik
Flashed Slim Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik
Reboot
Install Maps
Settings>App Info>Maps>Clear data and Clear cache
Reboot to TWRP, fixed permissions
Reboot --> maps crashed within 1 minute
Additional assistance will be very much appreciated! Thanks so much, I rely on Maps quite a bit and this issue is annoying ><
Sounds like you may be running out of memory? Try clearing in ram manager before opening maps.
In development options, check show cpu usage to watch for anything that happens everytime before it crashes. Also try the limit background processes options and see if it helps.
These are tw options, not sure if there are equivalents in cm

According to cpu usage I should be fine, especially since trying Maps/Nav from a fresh TW/CM install shouldn't rock my RAM too hard >< Thanks though!
Update: I tried using a different navigation app (MapQuest Mobile) and it runs perfectly fine. This issue is tied directly to Google Maps and Navigation, perhaps involving the text-to-speech output. I attached my logcat for review. Thanks :highfive:
FINAL UPDATE: Google updated their Maps app and now everything runs perfectly fine. Problem solved

I spoke too soon myself~ After running with it for a few days I can definitely report my issue persists as well. Still no solution in sight ><
EDIT: I ran across a solution that seems to work. Within Navigation, click the compass in the upper-right of the screen. This will keep the screen directions static, meaning north stays north, etc. This solved my issue after testing for 40+ minutes!

I found that static North mode helps, but it is still very unstable. I'm now having lots of other problems with my device. I would LOVE to know of a ROM and kernel combo that works with Google Maps. CM10 got so bad that I switched to SlimBean. I just need my device to be sufferable until I buy a Nexus 5 and NEVER buy another non-nexus device again. This is my 3rd Galaxy device and I have ended up in this state with everyone of them. (That's completely unsupported and unstable.)

[Q] Incredible reinstall CM7.2, gapps issue, and Force Close problems

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.

M8 Marshmellow updated - some issues.

I flashed the Wolla v2.5 MRA58K.H6 with TWRP and had some questions/issues. The camera kept on force closing, even though on other apps it worked just fine. I occasionally have a "android system has stopped working" warning as well. Also, I was expecting the full wipe to wipe all the internal storage as well, but I don't believe it did?
Wanting to install the newest ROM but wondering if there is a way to easily back up all apps and such - it took a long time to get it up and running at this level and don't want to go through it again. Thoughts?
Try using Titanium Backup to back up your apps and data. Personally, I use a combination of SMS Super Backup for my SMS/Call logs and Titanium for my apps.
I'm using Wolla v3.5 GPE right now and everything is great except for some strange reboot/bootloop every time I open up Snapchat. Uninstalling the app seemed to have solved the issue, but I still want to be able to use it... It's probably to do with the new camera API.
I'll give that a try. What's the difference between 2.5 & 3.5?
Updated to 3.5 and wiped it all.
Everything is working well except the system will not let me install chrome, why I do not know. I've tried downloading from the app store, both normal and beta, and every time it force closes. I've tried having it install from on my computer through google play and it force closes. I've downloaded the apk and allowed install from unfamiliar sources and it will get to the install page, and say app not installed. What gives?
Also, it seems all of my internal folders have been wiped clean - this means when I open the M8's internal storage on my computer, there are no folders; no download, no dcim, nothing. Any advice on what's happening here?
Solved both issues using [this solution](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684384). Internal memory was set to read only.

process.acore has stopped (clearing contact storage won't work)

My fiancee has a fire phone, and she's had it for a few years. For the most of it, she's been using CM11 as her custom ROM. A few weeks ago, she mysteriously got it, and it wouldn't go away except when she disabled contact storage, but then she couldn't make phone calls. She then removed the dialer and it caused even more problems. I had to fully wipe her phone and re-flash back to Fire OS to get her dialer back. I then put CM11 back in, and everything was fine for awhile. Four days later, when Facebook updated, it did it again. We deleted Facebook, deleted the cache from contact storage, all that crap shown on Youtube, and still nothing. She opens up Chrome, it would pop up "process.acore has stopped", same with PlayStore. I wiped her phone again, then flashed her phone over to SlimKat, wiped dalvik cache, system, data, etc. It worked fine for a few days, then she opened up Cortana, and it's doing it again.
What apps have you disabled or uninstalled and/or installed since last wipe? Did you set it as a new phone after tou reinstalled cm11 or slimkat?
Try safeboot by clicking power button, then click reboot. Hold both volume up and down button while it fully reboots. You will see safeboot logo on screen. See if you get same error in safeboot. If not, then a change you are doing after fresh install is messing up your phone. Do a fresh install, then restore/install/uninstall one app at a time to see which app is responsible.
Every time I factory reset the phone, it's fine for awhile until some random app causes it again. The cause is different every time. At first, Facebook was the cause, then adding another Gmail account, then Reddit. We'll try your advice then get back to you.
If it is fine for a while, it is probably being triggered by some system app such as Google play services updating itself. I would suggest disable auto updates in play store and disable Amazon store if you haven't already. When phone prompts you that app updates are available, update one app at a time, (if have titanium backup and rooted, can backup the app before you update it). Once you find the culprit, open it in play store and disable auto update by un-checking the option by clicking three dots on top right. I had to do that for google play services because it was causing similar issues. Your issue may be related to contacts as well as calendar (clear calendar data but do not disable default calendar app from amazon)or one of the related background processes that is automatically updated but the updated version becomes incompatible with kit Kat causing all apps that depend on it to force close.
Check if your Google play services is newer than 10.0.84 version at the time acore error starts happening. If it is newer version then go to apk mirror website and download 10.0.84 version, uninstall the newer one and install this older one. Please do update if anything you did fixed the problem. Thanks.
