Hi guys. I flashed a new rom this morning. I went from a 4.3 to a 4.3 rom, so no problems right? I checked the checksums, and the rom was fine. Everything went well and I started my titanium backups. It froze. It rebooted and then I kept getting android.process.acore has stopped. it comes up immediately after I hit ok and doesn't let me do anything. So I went back to my backup. Same thing happens here. I wiped, it, installed new roms, Everything I do gives me this. Factory reset, new rom flash, ect.
The google answer seems to be clear the data out of the contacts in app manager, but I can't even get there.
any insight would be appreciated.
thanks.
Well, I can enter 1 keystroke between error messages. I went through the initial setup 1 keystroke at a time. When it was finished logging into google, it just started over again with the samsung account.
Sounds like leftover data causing your issues. Follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50335424. You will also want to delete two folders from your external sdcard android and data if they exist. Now that your phone is totally clean you should have no more problems.

Thanks,. I have started down that road. I'm not sure if the sd card is the culprit, as I tried it without it as well.

I'm hoping someone can help.
Recently I started having troubles with my evo.
I am able to download apps from the market but they get stuck "installing".
This happened on Fresh 3.1
I then wiped and installed cm6 and again, same problem. On both I tried killing the downloader service as well as the market. I cleared the market data but could not clear its cache because it was stuck computing.
I tried installing apps from titanium backup and it gets stuck at 0%.
I then used another installer I got from when I installed tweet deck. It's an installer meant to allow you to install apk's received in emails.
That also got stuck.
Un installing also doesn't work. Gets stuck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm at a loss.

Hit cancel in the market and redownload. I find myself in the same position. Sometimes hangs on download or install..

Can't cancel, the button says "installing" and it is greyed out.

It started working. It's strange since it didn't work across different roms.

This has happened to me, sometimes it will install later after canceling the download. But I really think it has to do with titanium, not sure why, but I stopped using it and never have the problem anymore. I am good with starting fresh each time as long as I have my contacts saved to the sdcard.
It might be titanium..
I couldn't leave well enough alone..
I flashed cm6 back onto my phone then ran titanium.
At 16/100 app installs...the phone froze and rebooted. It wouldn't boot back into cm6.
I got stuck at the EVO splash.
I reflashed cm6 back on after wiping it, this time without the snap kernel, and the problem is back.. :\
If this ever happens again go to the /download directory on your memory card and you'll find the apk. You can then install from that. This happened to me a few times.
I'm not sure what you're referring to..but the installer doesn't work either way.
I tried installing some apk's I have in my sd card and the installer gets stuck at "installing" with the little bar under it continuously moving.
I searched the forum for something similar to no avail, so if I missed it, I apologize. So I had been running CM 6 stable for a month and everything was great. Hadn't upgraded kernels, or any other modifications. Turned my phone off for the night last night, and when it came back on, stuck in bootloop for no good reason why. So, oh well, I'll just flash a new ROM, no big deal, then tried CM7RC, it boots, I use titanium backup to restore everything, it all works well, until I reboot the phone again, and bam, right back to bootloop, but this time with CM7. I'm completely out of ideas, any help would be appreciated. I've wiped davlik, cache, did factory reset, everything I can think of.
Thanks ahead of time.
Try fixing permissions in recovery, if that fails then try wiping ALL data and installing CM again. If that doesn't work, try a Sense ROM, it might be an AOSP problem
so here's an update to my problem so far. What I had left out earlier was that I could install a new ROM, and I could reboot my phone and it would work fine. Not until I used Titanium Backup and restored all of my apps and settings did I run into a problem. With that said, I did as PGleo86 said. This time, it worked just as it had before. Phone was fine, until I restored data. So I thought about what I had installed last. So the last time I wiped everything and installed CM7, I used Titanium Backup, but this time I omitted a few programs and settings, namely, Amazon App Store and Angry Birds Rio. This time when I rebooted, it worked fine. So I am slowly going to restore the settings, apps, and data I omitted one at a time and reboot my phone to see if any of them put me into boot loop. Has anyone heard of anything like this before? Particularly with Amazon App Store or Angry Birds Rio? (I did recently upgrade my version of Swype as well)

From what I understand, its restoring the data that is killin it. You can restore all the apps you like, but when you start restoring data, it seriously screws with alot of roms. You will keep having the issue as long as your restoring data. Good luck dude
This may take a while but try reloading a few apps at a time to see which on in particular is causing the issue. I saw a post like this somewhere on this massive forum, but the person found out it was one app that was killing the boot process.
Different roms store data in different places. So titanium is writing data to somewhere it shouldn't be.
Hi,
Im running an MTD version of CleanGb for months now. I'm not sure if its 1.05 or 1.1 (the zip file on the sd card simply says CleanGB-MTD-1.zip).
Here is the problem: recently my phone has been acting up, eating battery, slowing down, etc. When I tried to power cycle it I either get stuck in a SAMSUNG reboot loop, or it goes to the CWM screen. I pulled the SD card thinking it maybe corrupt but it still took two battery pulls to get it to boot. I put the sdCard back in and have not been able to boot now.
So I'm not sure if the card is bad or something in the system is corrupt. I have not been able to load the GMAIL via the app store for a month or two now.
Anyway I was thinking of upgrading my CleanGB to see if that wipes over the issue. If I manual copy the latest 1.1.2 zip to my SD card (stick it in a PC and copy to /downloads) can I boot to CWM and do an "install from SD card? Will this wipe out my existing apps/data? I know I need to do the wipe cache/dalvik thing. I'm just no looking forward to entering all my email accounts, facebook, re-install apps,.....
Thanks
Jim M.
Only way to not keep the issues your having is to start over.

Edit : This was a little vague sorry.
You will want to download a new ROM if you like gingerbread i will suggest the Peoples ROM 2.2 you will want the MTD version as you are already on MTD. It should be the very first link in the thread Here: The Peoples ROM. Then use this process to install it.
WARNING: This will remove all data, including apps, text messages, contacts saved to the Phone and not Google. etc. So if you are fond of these titanium backup them but for the apps only restore the apps data that are absolutely necessary.
1. Reboot to recovery, either through the power menu option or powering off and holding the camera button, volume down, and Power button until the Sammy screen appears.
2. Once in recovery Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
3. Go into mounts and storage and Format /system
4. Go into advanced and Wipe Davlik Cache
5. Install Zip from SD card, then Choose Zip from SD card.
6. Find the "The-Peoples-ROM-2.2.zip" or whatever it is called.
7. Install it
8. When its finished Hit the back and reboot system now.
Once thats done go ahead and re-setup your phone.. you shouldnt run into any problems from here on out. Typically any problems you receive is from corrupt data.
Like I said, starting over is hopefully not the only option.
I actually got the phone to boot so I'm currently making a titatnium backup of everything to have just in case. I also stuck my sdcard into my PC and copied everything off it so I'm probably going to reformat the sdcard (in the phone) and then copy everything back.
Since GMAIL seems to be the only app with issues (not being able to download an update) updating to any new ROM should overwrite it.
The question still remains, if I update from cleanGB 1.05/1.1 to the latest will everything get wiped out or will only the system files get wiped?
thanks

If you want to be free from any problems.. the only way to go is to wipe clean and start fresh... but if you MUST you can wipe cache and Davlik and flash it... i dont recommend it but if you like to run into odd problems go ahead.
It's the only way to be sure otherwise you are going to waste days of chasing your bugs.
And you pressed "yes this is a question"
Guess which subforum it belongs in.

Sorry for posting in the wrong spot, I wasn't paying attention. I also see my last reply crossed paths with Uber's reply and edit update, so Uber,thanks for the info and suggestions. I've been working with computers for 30 years so I'm very familiar with the "format and re-install" option for fixing things. On the phone side I play around every 3 or 4 months so when something comes up I completely forget what I did last time, or the method has been updated 3 times.
So how do you power users handle this? I only have 47 apps installed according to app-store and if I lose my Angrybirds high score or my drawsomething count I'm not too heartbroken. But I have 3 email accounts, a dozen wi-fi networks entered, a Facebook account, A Google account, an Amazon account, ringtones, notification alerts, etc... To go back through and re-enter all this info is a real pain and takes time. I run Titanium backup but I think you can only safely restore app data, not system app data.
I've read some posts on these forums and I see people commenting "yeah i went to CM9 beta 3 last week, but came back to CleanGB for stability. I'm downloading peoples ROM right now to try for a bit but will switch to CM9 beta 4 as soon as its out". This means re-entering tons of passwords and setup info every week. Wither these guys have too much time or there is a better way.
Thanks again.
Jim M.
Use Titanium for your angry birds data. Google and Amazon are saved on their site. You can restore your wifi data to TPR from CleanGB. But you should set up your emails again because the FC09 version did not like older versions of data when I tried. Most everything else just restore apps not data. And us power users learn to delete apps we don't want and set up our emails pretty fast after the 20th wipe or so when making and testing a ROM...lol. I did CM9 clean the first time, contacts are on google anyway, and had it working pretty well in an hour then added apps as I needed them over a couple of days.

It's a good opportunity to clean house on useless apps. I basically did the same thing Kenny did when I moved to CM9, and it's amazing how much crap you don't bother reinstalling.

OK so today my wifi went out.... Just completely went out. I tried wiping the settings and reconnecting to the Wifi point and all it does is try and authenticate, then it drops. So with a few prior bugs like this in the past, I decided to do a combo Temp Files wipe with 4.3 Smelkus MOD recovery.
EVERYTHING GOT WIPED; Go launcher is non existent, Play Store is gone, apps just magically vanished. Going into App Settings, the Symlinks are there, but the app is missing from drawer. Even all the aroma options I turned on are gone. It's basic android with no gapps. This happened to me on first install and I had to wipe my memory card and reformat. I refuse to do this again. So I am going to try and nandroid back to before the wipe.
What caused this?
In my excitement, and retardedness, I forgot to nandroid after a successful install. So it likes like I have no other choice to set EVERYTHING back up again. I'm just thankful I'm smart enough to have recurring TB backups every other day. D

Yesterday my phone was acting weird - Poweramp was starting at boot, Poweramp told me it couldn't verify my license, I had no media volume (but system volume was ok), my lock screen was being bypassed on boot, S-voice was starting whenever I put headphones in, no sound from bluetooth, etc. Weird stuff.
After troubleshooting and coming up empty, I took a backup with Clockworkmod, then restored to a backup I took on the 4th. When I rebooted, apps started crashing non-stop. Not only gapps, but also twitter, dropbox, etc. Every 1-3 seconds I'd get a couple of crashes. I also get a lot of notifications (not in crash windows) that it "cannot open database". These appear across the bottom of the screen, like when I'm notified that an app has received superuser access. It happens so often I can't even shut the phone off - I have to pull the battery.
I restored to a backup I took on January 10th and got the same thing. I restored back to the backup I'd just taken, same thing. I wiped the cache and the dalvik cache, same thing. I reflashed my gapps, but that didn't fix anything. I tried to remove my google account, but I can't get into the menu because the phone's crashing too fast.
So far, the only way I can get a usable phone is by performing a factory reset and setting up my phone again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my data back? I have an app backup from January some time using My Backup Pro, but I don't want to lose a month's worth of data if at all possible.
I'm running a rooted Galaxy S3 (AT&T) on Stock 4.3. I've been messing with Xposed for the past couple days, but disabled almost all of the modules while trying to troubleshoot the issue (and it seemed stable before it started acting weird while I was shoveling snow). Also, only the most recent backup has Xposed installed.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was able to remove my Google account and this initially stopped the Google apps from constantly crashing, but other apps continued to crash. After a minute or so, the Google apps started crashing again.
I was able to restore a much older backup (4.0) and this seemed to work ok for the few minutes I tested it.
I did a factory reset on 4.3, which seemed ok, but when I started restoring my apps through My Backup Pro, android.process.acore started crashing every second or so. I cleared the cache, but it didn't fix the problem (in fact, it started crashing on the lock screen, which hadn't happened before.)
I'm starting to wonder if I need to flash a new ROM because something not backed up by Clockworkmod is FUBAR.
As far as I can tell, the causes of my issues were:
I think my CWM was messed up. When I flashed CM11 to get a working ROM, I saw there was an update pending. I installed that and it seemed to fix the problem with making new backups. I don't think I'll be able to recover the backups from before, but at least I can make new backups now.
I think the android.process.acore issue was the result of the My Backup Pro backup being from CM10.1 when I was trying to restore to Stock 4.3. I think there was some system data in there that wasn't compatible with stock. Selecting only the 3rd party apps that I "needed" to install seemed to resolve this.
I don't know about the original sound issue. I got a ticket response from Poweramp saying it was a Google account mismatch issue. I hadn't made any changes, so my guess is that somehow the account was corrupted. I don't know if removing/adding the account would have made a difference, since the whole thing blew up before I could try. It's also possible that something else got corrupted that caused the volume issue. Volume works fine now that I have a new ROM, so it was definitely not a hardware issue with the headphone jack. I backup restore or factory reset might have fixed the problem, but I don't know for sure.
