Error: Android.Process.Acore force close

[Jordantw]

Im rooted, updated to VC, and running ThundeRom

Every time i go to add a new contact or merge two exsisting ones, i get this error message: "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." and then i have the option to force close. This is extremely annoying because...well i cant add new contacts!

please help!

Seems to have something to do with Facebook/Google syncing contacts. The most obvious solution was to do a factory reset but here are some people with the same problem and their fixes for it.
Issue 2377 - android - "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" - caused by data that can not be synced - Project Hosting on Google Code

I found that thread earlier and tried nearly all of them and no luck

I realize that it's a different animal, but on my Gtab if that happens it means that that the contacts database became corrupted somehow. From the Gtab Sticky on XDA:

"Problems with acore FC's
The problem is a corrupt contacts sqlite database. As the referenced post says, you'll be able to tell if thats the problem when there is a .db-journal file in the folder. The folder is /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ *Note* this is not the data folder in sdcard, but the data folder in root (/).

Just delete the databases folder in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts and restart. The contacts database will be rebuilt and re-synced."

Nandroid first and if you are concerned, you can just rename that DB file instead of deleting it to see if that is the issue.

Thanks for the info! I tried this but the problem persists. When they say "restart" do they mean to just reboot? or to factory reset? I only rebooted, maybe that is why this didn't work?

 

[debh945]

Dang, sorry it didn't work. Yeah, when they say restart they just mean reboot. Did you delete the whole folder as they said or just rename that db file?

 

[Jordantw]

No worries. I deleted the whole folder

My first method would be to try comment #26 from that link I posted before. Comment #33 and 34 suggest a factory reset. Reboot only temporarily fixed the problem until the phone synced again.

SOLUTION: Unfroze all apps and processes in Titanium(some being system) and it solved the problem. Now I'm in the process of freezing each one i had previously frozen to see which one strikes a nerve.

UPDATE:Turns out you cant freeze the stock messenger =[ im using Handcent and it bothered me that the default messaging app was in my tray haha. I just hid it with Launcher Pro now, so everything is good!

Many thanks to both of you!

 

[debh945]

Glad you figured it out! I'm surprised that you were able to send/receive messages with the stock messaging app frozen. I thought it was necessary, even if you use handcent.

Awesome... I'm gonna have to remember that and add it to the 30 other solutions that list had.
