[Q] android.process.acore has stopped - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

for 2 days now, once in a few hours I get "android.process.acore has stopped" and all the apps stop working, any app I try to open gives me the same message.
Any ideas how to fix it?
I didn't install any new app in those days, the phone is not rooted and has the stock nexus 4 rom

There are a lot of threads with the same fc, and there isn't an universal fix. It is said it is due to an error in Google Apps. Have u flash any Google apps package recently?
Try deleting all google apps data. If that doesn't work, go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't work reflash your rom.

I didn't flash any google apps, should I delete the data anyway? how do I do it?

I got the same bug when I restored system data with titanium backup, I cleared cache/data of system app like phone/contact... and the force close is gone

That's it. Go to Settings/Apps/All and clear data and cache (will tell u how) of the following apps:
- Phone
- Settings
- Contacts
- Browser
- Google Play Store
- Google Play Services
- Gallery
- Launcher (I dont know what launcher u have installed)
and see if u can access those apps normally with no fc.
How to do that?
- Press the app in settings/apps/all and press clear data and then clear cache. That's it!!

one of the worst things you can do. restoring is not an official functionality, its meant for debugging. to some extent its okay to restore user apps because these are more or lessself contained, although you can still never be sure its leaving out critical data, but restoring system apps is bad since these are linked to a particular framework, which is outside of titaniums scope. you can literally screw up your system by doing that.
and use carbon.

[Q] Apps stop installing?

I notice this happens alot of custom roms other than stock deodexed roms.
I started reinstalling my apps one by one because TB was only resintalling half my apps. So after reinstalling about 30 or so apps, the market stops installing apps for me. I'm currently running "WORKING NETFLIX! NEW! [AllianceROM][r7.2] HybriD 3D[Sense 2.1 OTA][Themed]"but this has happened on Calkuns roms too. Its even happening with updates to apps that are already installed. So I uninstalled the apps and tried installing them as fresh apps and that still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Clear your market data and cache. For whatever reason when you install a bunch of apps from the market at the same time this happens.
If the above doesn't work you may have to wipe your .android_secure folder on your SD card as well.

Insufficient storage

Hey all.
I'm running 4.3 with it being unlocked and rooted using the program and steps created by Wugfresh.
I have about 26 gigs of free storage space on my tablet but anything I try to download from the Google Play store, I get an insufficient storage error.
It started when I tried using Lucky Patcher to remove some of the ads found in certain apps.
I can install apps just find if I use an .apk file.
Any help on this?

Try clearing cache and data from the play store and play services. Then reboot and see if it works. Maybe use ad block the next time

I'm getting this exact same error, but only on a few apps like Facebook, DropBox and IMO. All other apps install fine and I can install apps from the Amazon store.... weird.
I have tried to whole the play store data and cache, no go though.

I believe it's a Play Store 4.3 bug, my tablet worked fine with 4.2.2 and my S4 appeared those bugs as well when I updated, maybe you should try uninstalling Play Store updated and/or clearing its cache, I didn't try yet, but may give out something.

I experience something i think is related:
I've put my vacation movies and picutres on the tablet and I 've just 1,8 Gb of free space left on it. Everything runs good. I opened the play store to update some apps and then it started lagging hardly.... It0s not the first time happens to me. I've already went back to full stock one time formatting everything, but same problem.... I'm JWR66Y rooted with SuperSU. The first time i had this problem i cleared the Dalvik cache via CWM, but nothing changed.
If i can I try to clear the Play Store cache....
Any other ideas???

Same here. JWR66Y and SuperSU.
There was some option in Lucky Patcher and after I clicked on it, no more troubles.
I think it had something to do with clearing the overall cache or something.

Yeah, it's an app.
It will let you remove Google Ads from many installed programs.
Tried the cleaner, still no go for me. I've got about 1.8GBP free... still some new apps update fine while others fail. Sound like it's time to do a full Rom refresh install.

I've 14 Gb free and now, after cache clean, it works fine. How long ago did you make a full ROM refresh??

Ok, a full wipe and clean install worked. Prior to this I even removed 50% of my apps... and still no go. Something must have got screwy with a dirty update.
For anyone else that runs into this.
Try a cache cleaner, app cleaner, then uninstall large apps, if all else fails, do a factor reset (except external memory/aka SD) and you should be good to go.
Ran SD Maid system clean. It removed almost 100mb of data in lost directories, seemed like mostly log files. This fixed it for my wife and I (we have the same phones, i777). We couldn't update google apps before i tried this, all other apps updated just fine.

How to clear dalvik cache without recovery

Open root explorer. Go to /data/dalvik cache. Select all files in the folder and delete them. Reboot immediately. Stuff will get very unstable till you do.
This will re optimize the system after all the changes you have been making.

Similar to this, is thr a way to clear cache partition without recovery mode?
What is the purpose of doing this? Will this clear my settings or default programs?
Adversely, I have one default program I would like to clear but it does not show up on the default app list... can I clear this one manually? Namely I want to switch back to using Svoice vs Google Voice and no matter what i do I can switch it back. Turning on Svoice under settings does nothing.
Thanks for the great info
Thanks for the helpful tidbit.
question here
if i clear my dalvik cache( with not the intentions to install new rom...just cleaning junks) will my personal data be saved?
why just don't use one of app : https://play.google.com/store/searc...sp=CAFiDQoLY2xlYXIgY2FjaGV6AhgAigECCAE=&hl=en
So cache partition stores all these settings which can be deleted from settings->apps? or it's maybe something like temp in Windows?
Whether will be deleted apps settings after wiping cache partition?
edit. I found.
None settings deleted. It just support's faster lauching of most used apps. After wiping, few lauching of the app restores previous condition of executing. May fix errors during opening some app, due to some overloads of this memory.
Because dalvik cache stores fragments of compiled code of an installed apps, and can be just deleted for restore some performance of system (it is restored after reboot).
Especially these wiping these two - dalvik and partition cache, is sometimes practised after installing lots of apps, to improve performance, maybe some errors.
Correct me if something's wrong.

Foreground apps crash with no errors

Hello
I have this problem. whenever I open play store and apply updates or install new apps, the play store crashes and the updates are interrupted until I re-open it and resume the update manually. This doesn't seem to happen when the updates are done in the background automatically without opening the store first. I have already tried uninstalling, deleting cache and data, reboot etc. but the problem persists.
I have the Samsung Galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 LTE version with rooted kitkat 4.4.2

Hi, did you by any chance even tried going into the recovery and clearing the cache from there?

I see that very few people have this very annoying issue
I just don't want to resort to factory reset. I mean I know it will probably fix it but I just don't feel like setting my phone up again from the start which is time consuming, besides, what would be the purpose of this wonderful community if all problems were solved by wiping up one's phone.
I was wondering if the cause could be some poor memory management or bad cleaning/anti-virus apps interfering with the memory management I mean I am a complete noob in terms of android management but I assume when there are multiple apps being downloaded/updated at the same time it must consume a great deal of resources but for an app to crash without even the popup message that says "....has stopped" I have never seen before

Maybe you try to get a appstore.apk, delete your's wipe Cache and then install the apk.
I would also recommend data wipe though cause with backup (I use titanium) it'll be less time consuming than everything else. Just backup user data and you won't have to set it up again. The thing is it's not guaranteed that the problem lies within playstore and since we don't have your phone in our hands it is nearly impossible to point you to the exact fix.

well... speaking of backup I also use titanium and nandroid, thank god for that because earlier I tried something stupid (suggested here on XDA though) I cleared the app store cache and data which is fine because I did it before with no problem but then I cleared the google services framework data/cache, I wish I hadn't because it literally messed everything up. I was unable to connect at all to the store even though I had a good network connection. thank god it worked again after I restored the app/data
I can live with that issue. it's not such a hassle since I usually check the play store for updates every day at least. but I may try your first suggestion though. thanks 4aces

As you wish b careful though. I think (definitely not 100% sure) you have to put the apk file in device/system/apk with es file Explorer or root Explorer and than put the permission to rw rr.
That's why I recommend full wipe.

oops... no appstore.apk in /system/app folder. how could that be? On the other hand there is a com.android.vending-1.apk in /data/app so I'm puzzled

thanks for the link. maybe I could try to update it as my version is 4.6.17 which is older than 4.8.19 and see if there is a change. One thing I don't understand is that one can only disable it and not uninstall it so does that mean it's a system app even though it's not in the /system/app folder? should I convert it to user app with titanium prior to update?

From what I read so far it is implemented in system and not so easy to mess with. In the link above is a link back to xda. It'll be best if u read it.
PS. Hitting the thanks button is faster than typing

One more suggestion. Try to open application manager in settings and select all. Look for download manager and clear the cache then reboot.
If it doesn't help wait for other replies or wipe data will have to do the work.

I tried that but didn't help. then I tried to update and move to system, made it even worse as play store crashed as soon as I hit the update button. Reinstalling the app wouldn't help so I had to restore a nandroid backup. I'm giving up now but won't waste time doing a wipe data because it's not a real issue since I'm able to update anyway by hitting the button and close play store right after. All my apps still update in the background anyway

I'm getting this weird 492 error when I try to update Google Play Services and none of the usual fixes are working. This is the second ROM that this is doing this to. Logcat attached.

Need to go to developer options>running services find and stop play store and play services, then look at top show cached processes do same thing. then exit out go to apps in settings find both and force stop hit it multiple times until it actually greys out. then under storage in play store just clear data in play services clear cache and manage space clear all data. reboot and open store will have to accept the Blah Blah Blah again but update should work after that.
No dice. Still getting 492.
Okay, what I did was wipe System, Data, both caches, and Internal Storage, flash ZAD Mix, downloaded apps, restored some apps with Titanium, problem seems to have cleared up. Running a batch restore and seeing if only the usual errors I get with hanging restores that can be cleared up with downloading the same app from Play come up.
