This fix at the very least works on the MIUI ROM. It may work on all ROMs, if someone starts getting this error, try this fix and report back . Also reported to work on CM6
Wipe data for Contacts Storage and Google Services Framework.
Really easy, this will fix either android.process.acore force closing or google.services.framework force closing.
WARNING!: This will wipe contacts. It seems acore fc's when there are corrupted contacts. Usually by restoring contacts on an incompatible ROM....
And will temporarily wipe market list. So backup your contacts!
Step by step:
0. Make sure Sync is off, leave it off for some time!
1. Go into settings
2. Select Applications
3. Select Manage Applications
4. (If you are on 2.2) Select the All tab
5. Scroll down until you find Contacts Storage (select it).
6. Wipe data+clear cache(If available)
7. Hit back
8. Scroll down until you find Google Services Framework (select it)
9. Wipe data+clear cache (if available)
10. Reboot and enjoy
Enable sync again when your convinced that the error has gone.
If this works for you, can you reply stating what ROM your on? (Eg, Stock 2.2, Cyanogenmod 5.08, MIUI 0.9.24, etc)
Or if it doesn't work for you, do the same thing?
Thanks guys!
If you don't want to wipe all contacts:
So far most users are able to fix the error using the above steps, except Droid Incredible's seemingly...

THX. Worked on my SG2 [Android 4.1.2]
Well to be specific I was running Weapon g2x 3r1 everything was fine then flashed miui 11.18.11 then couldn't get data to work on that ( did hard reboot, factory wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, pulling the battery nothing ). So I said ok back to weapon..data doesnt work, flashed axura data doesn't work, flashed xboarders tweaked OTA..nothing. Making calls is fine but data just isn't working. Any suggestions?
What worked for me.
1. Go to the market and download this app called "APNs Backup (root)"
2. Open app, tap "Backup APNs", name it whatever
3. Then tap "Restore APNS"
4. Tap your save file. It should say rebooting.
5. When it turns back on, give it a second and make sure your data in network settings is checked along with 3G.
6. Tell us how it goes.
7. Good luck.

Should of tried that, I ended up using nvflash back to stock, that got it to work, then flashed Axura =] all good now. Thanks for the help .
I think I had a similar problem with my data. After I flashed weapon 3.0 I wasn't able to use the internet or apps that required data connection. Only worked while I was on wifi. I also received an error msg while I do a search for networks. Is there some way to fix this?
I start with a fresh wipe of my phone and then install BeanStalk with gapps (I'm currently using BS version 4.4.275 with gapps 20140105. Everything is fine for months. Then a couple of apps will start to crash a few times (the camera, dialer, browser and google apps). I've stopped using titanium backup and clockwork mod to restore my data because they were causing issues. Then the force closes become more and more frequent. I ran fix permissions and i have know clue if it helped or not. Then finally all hell breaks loose and everything begins to force close and give errors of no space left on phone. No launcher will stay open everything just bugs out. This seems to be an on going matter. It doesn't seem to resolve no matter what rom I run. I've gone through every folder sizing it and my phone is not out of space. I am getting very frustrated with my Infuse. I don't understand what some of the stuff means in my catlog file. If someone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.
i found out that Google+ and Google Drive might be the cause (such as when you upload or backup your photos to those clouds)
if you have time, go read those last 10 pages of BeanStalks, you will see what others have offered to resolve this issues
as for me, I'd do full wipe, specially format the sdcard0 (keep the Rom and Gapps to your SDcard1), and stop using the two Google services mentioned above. and use another Gapps (I am using the minimal one) Good luck!
Same problem with Unofficial CM 11.2 also
Exactly the same issue I am having with Unofficial CM 11.2 from scott.
I have been using Scott Harts Unofficial CM from 10.1 to 11.2 on my Samsung infuse and each time i notice a pattern.
Each of the above ROMs start out pretty smooth, and the phone works without any issues for 6 months or so. Then occasionally and app or two start crashing. Then in a weeks time all hell breaks loose and almost all apps start crashing such that the phone becomes unusable. Especially trebuchet starts crashing and that is the end of story.
In the past i have noticed this happens a month or so after an updated rom has been released and I used to upgrade to the new one and the cycle continues.
I am currently on the latest Unoffical CM 11_2 (Kitkat) and the appropriate Gapps installed and the same issue has happened twice.
I have tried the following to fix the issue and nothing helps
1. Clear data for trebuchet and a bunch of other apps.
2. Reinstall Gapps
3. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install Gapps
5. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install custom Rom >> install gapps >> wipe cache and dalvik again
The only way I have been able to get it working in the past is
1. Wipe data/factory reset > Clear Cache > clear Dalvik cache and possibly reinstall ROM and gapps (not sure, but I guess factory reset also does the trick)
So my phone is stuck in this mode and I would like to help debug the situation. Can someone help with the next steps? So that I can capture all required information before I do a factory reset .
Unable to get RSA prompt
Well I went ahead with a factory reset, installed Unofficial CM11_2 from Scott. Got the latest gapps from goo.im and phone seems normal again. But that is the expected behavior untill it starts acting up again.
I tried a lot to connect the phone through ADB and each time it remains unauthorized.
I tried on 2 different laptops, Windows 7, Windows Vista as well as Ubuntu - it always remained unauthorized and no matter what i tried ... changing USB ports , OS machines...nothing helped.
I never got the RSA signature prompt on my phone so could not do anything with ADB.
Any body has any ideas ?

Not sure about the other ROM's. I could go on a flashing journey, but I have two new devices I'm getting adjusted to right now. If you are not tied down to CM (don't know if it's your DD), I would suggest trying Carbon or CyanFox.
Me, I didn't need ADB that much at the time so I stuck with what I have. Not a solution, but I hope you find a ROM that works (partnered with a minimal gapps).

Unfortunately the infuse is the only phone I have (so my DD)...but the lure to test the ADB on carbon is also compelling for me. Let me try moving to a non smart phone and try this out.
OK. So i installed the Carbon KK nightly, and encountered the same issue. adb devices always lists the phone as
0123456789ABCDEF unauthorized.
Also i never received the rsa prompt...
Moreover the device key seems to suggest it is some default value as compared to an actual device key.
Got it Working !!!
Ok so finally got it working.
I moved away from Scott's Unofficial CM11_2 on my daily driver and moved to Carbon ROM. Loving the new rom so far.
Once i moved to this ROM, I started adb on my desktop (adb kill-server, adb start-server) and was waiting
then on phone enabled Developer options and Android debugging over USB and connected the phone to desktop, and zingggg I get the RSA prompt.
One important thing it read is that you phone should be unlocked when you connect it to your desktop, so in case you have things like PIN or gestures that lock your screen....ensure that your screen is not locked when the phone is being connected.
Not sure if this was the issue or if it was the CM rom,,,but issue is resolved, I am loving Carbon...so not going back to CM to check the lockscreen theory....but worth a try for someone who is pulling his/her hair out like i was.
Ciao !!!
---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
missed mentioning that do not worry about the device id of 0123456789ABCDEF....i noticed it does not change for me even when adb connects properly.
It is the unauthorised state that needs to change to device.
What's the default launcher on Carbon, or does it give you a choice like Beanstalk?
Will be retiring the Infuse soon, so am thinking on what ROM to put on when I go to sell it (or give away). The requirement is that is not overwhelming to a new user. Cyanogenmod has a lot of customization, but it doesn't necessarily get in the way. I'd call it borderline overwhelming. Beanstalk is quite overwhelming, because you are forced to pick a launcher right from the beginning (even though I like it for the Jellybean qualities).
Because of these, I just may return it to stock, but have it rooted and with CWM.

I do not see any option to select a launcher like Scotts CM had. So i guess there is no direct option to select it.
Quick search in the running apps shows Launcher 3 running, and apk also available in the priv-app folder in rom, so can conclude launcher is Launcher3.
I did not find it overwhelming in any way.

I flashed it last night (latest nightly), and it gave me the option of either Launcher3 or Google Now Launcher. I think if someone who was new to the device would be stumped a little by this, but would probably select the Google Now one (the question would be would they press once or always) and be done with it.
Having something recognizable runs at an advantage here compared to Beanstalk, where, unless you know CyanogenMod (or have played with a lot of launchers) you wouldn't know what to select. That would be overwhelming.
Anyway, I wiped the data again, breezed through setup (skipped everything but language and time zone), so it's all ready to go. If need be I can get them set up with a network and Google account before I throw them to the wind.
EDIT:
I see why I got the prompt ... I used the Paranoid Android micro apps package, which includes ... the Google Now Launcher.

Hi,
I was using CM 10.1 from Scott for like a year and didn't have any trouble at all, really the best ROM. Only had two small problems: wouldn't film on 720p without bugging, and MHL to HDMI was not working.
Now I installed CM 11, with latest gapps ( didn't know there was a CM11.2 ), and camera issue on filming is the same. But now it's worse, battery life is lasting half the time it was before, and gallery is crap, bugging every time. Did you have the same issues? Tell me the post of CM11.2 please..

Not sure about this, but I think CM 11.2 is referred to as KitKat 4.4.4, which would be latest in the CM thread. So you are probably already running it.

You can download the Nova Launcher from the google play store if you want to have the same experience as with Scotts Beanstalk. I love the carbon ROM but I am so accustomed to the Nova launcher that I cant live without it.

OK the exact same problem has started again today on Carbon ROM. Wonder if this is a Cyanogen thing, as that seems to be common between the two.

Hmm, don't think I kept a ROM on my Infuse long enough to encounter this problem (except for my several months with CM 10.1, no issues). As for other phones, I use Jellybean on my semi-retired HTC and did not have this problem (closest I came was when I tried out Fly-On mod - lag closures often). But I don't think It's a Jellybean problem.
I think (and this may have been covered already) this has to do with the piddly datadata partition filling up. One way to check is open a terminal emulator (app on the phone of adb shell) and type:
Code:
df
Look for datadata in that listing. If it is in the 90% range, that spells trouble. If that is the case, you could try one of two solutions.
I don't know what possessed the developers to separate the data partitions in KitKat (I know, for "performance reasons") but leave 1/2 a GB for it. Lower end phones these days give you twice that.
Over the past few years or so I've installed ROMs going back to ICS. 99% of the time there was absolutely no issue. I habitually do a (1) factory wipe, (2) dalvik wipe, (3) system format, (4) sdcard0 format, (5) install ROM zip, (6) install gapps, (7) wipe cache and (8) wipe dalvik.
In the hundreds of ROMs I've installed and tested, 1 or 2 were bad compiles, and everyone soon knew it. They were immediately removed from any host site. So, if you're having issues, (1) install you ROM as above, (2) perhaps install a smaller gapps, and/or (3) check that you're not overloading your phone from the PlayStore.
The last and rarest issue could be your phone, but rule of thumb that works 99% of the time is: (1) assume it's always your fault first, and (2) read, read, read, read, read.

Hi all,
I did this mostly for practice but I thought it might be helpful so I went ahead and posted.
Stock LG D850 20f ROM
[*]Rooted/SuperSu
[*]Most bloat removed
[*]Oversharpening fix
[*]Flashable zip
[*]init.d support*
[*]CarrierIQ Remover*
*Init.d support is implemented in ROM only, not the kernel. CarrierIQ is removed automatically after first boot via an init script. Say thanks to @skeevydude for his help in getting this done. I shouldn't say "help", he pretty much did it!
Installation
Flash the Lollipop modem - see @autoprime 's thread here for modem zip

*No change at all to the ROM itself since v2, I just realized that I've been forgetting to zero out the free space on the image file before uploading, which saves about 600 MB when zipped. New flashable zip is about 1.1 GB instead of 1.7 GB.

In case you want some of the ATT apps back, I have uploaded a zip here with those apps. This is NOT a flashable zip. You have a couple of options:
1. You may be able to install these as a normal (user) app by just pulling out the apk and installing the usual way.
2. If that doesn't work as expected, copy the app folder from the zip into the appropriate system folder as listed in the "Apps Removed" section.

Xposed Info
cmulk said:
Xposed has a couple of bad side effects at this point, so before doing anything you need to use Titanium or something similar to Freeze (this basically what the "helper" does):
LGSmartCover
Weather
Weather Theme
WeatherPlatform
Then you can install xposed as in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
However, there is still one more bug to keep in mind: Xposed will crash the Tethering and Networks menu. There is no fix for that yet, but as a workaround you can download some apps from the play store (like Mobile Network Settings), to shortcut around the menu that force closes.

CarrierIQ Removal
CarrierIQ has now been removed!
The removal is done via an init script that runs at boot to disable the IQ service before removing the files in order to prevent a force close. However, if you have to wipe data/factory reset without re-flashing the ROM, you will get a force close on the first boot. The good news is that I've tested this scenario and it should fix itself if you just wait about 20 seconds. In other words, the mentioned script does it's thing to stop the service to fix the force close and you are good to go after that.
Old info below:
cmulk said:
On the 20f lollipop rom (either mine or stock, there's no difference) either freezing LADDM or removing the libraries and LADDM as you mention will cause a force close unless you disable the "IQService" first, which is built into the framework-res.apk. I have repeated it multiple times and it has been discussed quite a bit in the Lounge and other threads. Disabling the service is easy for users to do with the "DisableService" app, and then you can remove LADDM and the libraries as mentioned. The difficulty is that disabling a service is a user setting, so, for example, if I reflash my ROM without the IQ files onto a phone with clean /data, I will again get the force close and an unusable ROM.

Manual Steps
In the meantime, here is how users can manually disable CarrierIQ. I take no credit for this method, it is posted in several places by several people, I'm just putting it here for convenience:
YOU MUST DO THIS IN ORDER (or at least the first few steps)
1. Download the "DisableService" app from the play store
2. In the DisableService app, go to System -> Android System and disable the "IQService" service
3. Use a root explorer to delete the folder /system/app/LADDM
4. Use a root explorer to delete /system/lib/libiq_client.so and /system/lib/libiq_service.so
5. (Optional) Uninstall DisableService
Remember, disabling the service is a user setting, so if you need to wipe /data for some reason, you will need to re-flash the ROM (which has the CarrierIQ files included) or else you will get a constant force close when your phone boots.
I'll give it a try, thanks

I will be watching this ROM. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your work. I wish I had some skill in this realm. It'd be nice to pick and choose which apps you wanted removed. I prefer the stock ATT Visual Voicemail app over the one in the Play Store as its more reliable. I also use some of the Google Apps that are removed here as well. But great job in getting something debloated out there.

Flashing lollipop Issues
Thanks for your work.... When flashing the 2 lollipop roms, 9 out of 10 times I get just a screen with icons, no wallpaper, no notification pull down no buttons at the bottom. I flash the modem the rom then SU and clear cache. I have only got the other ROM to flash successfully once. The same is going on with this ROM, is this happening to anyone else. I flashed it 5 times with the same results, would anyone know why this is happening, seems others dont have this issue. Thank you again for bringing us a debloated Lollipop rom.

Here is what I understand for a clean flash:
"1. Boot into Recovery
2. Make a Nandroid backup
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Flash ROM
7. DO NOT REBOOT – STAY IN RECOVERY
8. Select backup and restore
9. Select advanced restore
10. Select the Nandroid backup you made above
11. Select Restore data
12. Select Yes – Restore data
13. WAIT!
14. REBOOT"
What I do not understand is step 8, which selects the backup made in step two... and then flashing the backup over the (new) ROM flash in step 6. Wouldn't that overwrite the new ROM you just flashed?

10. Select the Nandroid backup you made above
11. Select Restore data
12. Select Yes – Restore data
13. WAIT!
14. REBOOT"
What I do not understand is step 8, which selects the backup made in step two... and then flashing the backup over the (new) ROM flash in step 6. Wouldn't that overwrite the new ROM you just flashed?

I always do a clean flash.. dont need to back up and restore and still get bad results.

Thanks for your work.... When flashing the 2 lollipop roms, 9 out of 10 times I get just a screen with icons, no wallpaper, no notification pull down no buttons at the bottom. I flash the modem the rom then SU and clear cache. I have only got the other ROM to flash successfully once. The same is going on with this ROM, is this happening to anyone else. I flashed it 5 times with the same results, would anyone know why this is happening, seems others dont have this issue. Thank you again for bringing us a debloated Lollipop rom.

I have not seen that issue, but in case you are not clearing data you may need to try clearing dalvik cache.
Also, (and this is just a shot in the dark) you could try formatting system before doing anything else just in case something strange is left behind there.

You can try dirty flashing first without losing any of your data.
1. Back up your current Boot and System
2. Back up your current modem (if you're coming from the Kitkat modem), or just download a flashable KK modem already posted on XDA
3. Flash the modem and ROM in this post
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. See if it works
If it's not working, then you will need to restore your boot, system, and modem to go back to your original kitkat setup without losing data.
Otherwise, you'll have to backup with Titanium and do a clean flash (wipe data) as already mentioned. Using Titanium makes clean flashing not so bad
I do clear Wipe cache and dalvik I wipe everything and it boots back into a desktop and thats it no notification, the same thing happened with the first lollipop.. but after 10 flashes it finally took... so I thought Id try your de-bloated and the same thing is happening again, not sure why this is. I can jump back to kk after flashing the modem without issues. Thank you again for your work.

Thanks for your work. I wish I had some skill in this realm. It'd be nice to pick and choose which apps you wanted removed. I prefer the stock ATT Visual Voicemail app over the one in the Play Store as its more reliable. I also use some of the Google Apps that are removed here as well. But great job in getting something debloated out there.

I agree that I use most or all of these Google apps as well. However, they update so often anyway that I prefer to just have them as user apps (otherwise you end up with 2 copies - the old static version in the system apps folder, and the updated version in the user apps folder).
As for the visual voicemail, I have posted the ATT apps in a zip in the OP. Visual voicemail is in the VVM_ATT folder.
Thanks!
cmulk,
Would you please clarify post 5 and 9 questions?

Sure thing! That's actually what I meant to do in post 13. I am not sure if you can flash over 10f without wiping data, but you could give it a try without losing anything (except time) if you look at post 13.
You should clear cache and dalvik mostly any time you are flashing, unless you are just flashing over another stock 20f ROM.

Have you tried formatting /system before doing anything else? I'm not sure that will make any difference, but just for process of elimination at least

Thanks I do clear everything but my external mem.
Ever since flashing this I'm getting "no sd card" messages every time I try to download anything ( I don't have an external sd card) but it's never been a problem before. I've restored a backup of my stock Tim and the problem followed me after full wipes.
