[Q] android process acore has stopped unexpectedly

Okay, I saw a few of the related thresds and I can't seem to get this fixed. Root Explorer does not show in my Market so I can't get that.
I can't do anything on my GTablet, it just force closes with that error right back to the home screen and then force closes again.
If I can, I'd love to not have to wipe data (or reflash either). I can't use Titantium Backup since it force closes at the home screen.
Any suggstions?

Yeah, I had the same problem on one of my two G-tablets.
I ended up being able to use Titanium Backup and wipe my contacts data tho.

I got it fixed. Clockwork Mod Recovery and its 'backups' feature is awesome.
I did have to reconfigure all my apps, though, because my backup was after I'd downloaded them but not ran them for the first time. That took awhile, but as soon as I finished I made a backup of that so I won't have to set them up again.

so you ran titanium backup and just wipe the data for the contacts app?

Thanks. I figured out how to wipe with titanium (did email contacts and settings as those gave a blank screen.. Good as new (and enhanced with the TNT enhancement pack)

Backup application settings without root?

Is there any way to backup the app settings without rooting?
I do not currently have access to a Windows machine to root my phone but I badly need to restore factory settings as the camera keeps force closing when I switch into video mode.

not possible without root.
You could try clearing the cache.
If you're not taking 3D pictures, you can also try download a new video recording app for now till you can root.

Thanks, I managed to find the Linux rooting method so got it all sorted now.
I still seem to be having issues with the time and widgets on the home screen sometimes freezing though, it must be one of my apps as even from factory settings it triggered it after recovering my backup. I ended up reinstalling most stuff from Market and just using Titanium to restore data where absolutely essential, seems to have reduced the problem.
That said, the problem is like that - one minute it will work fine then suddenly one day the time and widgets will fail to work whenever WiFi is connected. Wish I knew what was triggering it, I'm hoping its a glitch with an app that doesn't like Froyo and it will magically go away with Gingerbread.

[Q] After root/ Titanium backup restore, Widgets load all mixed up ATRIX 2

First off, My apologies if i did anything improper here
There are a lot of posts relating to titanium backup issues, and i cant seem to find anything on this issue, so if you have an answer please help or if there is a thread about this please direct me.
Ive had a rooted atrix 2 since it was released and have not had any issues restoring using titanium backup after upgrading from the atrix 4g
I recently broke my phone and was sent a refurb from att, when i restored using titanium backup, everything went fine except for the widgets. whenever i would reboot my phone, or even sometimes go from an app back to my home screen the widgets would all be mixed up on the home screen and duplicated into other places. some widgets even resize themselves, like a hotspot toggle widget would somehow resize from 1x1 to fit the whole home screen and relocate itself to a different home screen. my quick contacts widget would duplicate into another random area and the rest of the widgets basically load with the same issues.
at first i thought it was the phone so att replaced it again and i got the same issue. after restoring. that phone cracked so now i just got a brand new one in the box, rooted and restored once again and i am still having the same issues. any ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated. especially now that my GF is dissing my android because of it and claiming her iphone is better

[Q] com.android.phone stopped working after Titanium Backup restore

Hello,
I just got a Nexus 5 phone. Following the instructions in this forum, I was able to unlock the bootloader, get a TWRP Recovery and root the phone. Everything went fine. Then it was time to transfer my apps and data from my old Sony Xperia S. With Titanium Backup Pro on both devices, I made a backup of all apps + system data. Everything ok till that too. Then I restored this backup in Nexus 5. Everything seemed fine, all of the apps were in the app drawer, the ones I opened worked just fine.
But after the first reboot, I get an annoying "Unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped working" when the home screen loads. No matter what option I choose (Ok or Report), this dialog box just pops up again and again. In the milliseconds between two of this dialog boxes, I can unlock the lockscreen and browse normally (apart from the annoying little box that pops up all the time, of course).
So, what's the best option in this case? Will the factory reset from Android itself solve it, do I need to use the Custom Recovery or can I just go straight to flashing the factory image?
Cheers,

never restore system apps or system data with titanium backup, or this will happen. you can try wiping data in your recovery, that should fix it, but it will wipe your phone clean.

You can't restore system data. You can't even do this from one rom to another let alone different phones
In titanium untick "system" in the edit filters screen.
Then go to the restore screen and select restore missing apps and data.
Then go through each one double checking there are no system apps there and if there are, untick them.
..and yes, you must factory reset now

Guess that's what happens when you trust some Lifehacker article without enough knowledge. It was the system data, then. I unticked every app I hadn't installed by myself.
Concerning the Wipe option, I understand that by wiping the phone clean, that means even the apps that came pre-installed, correct? Chrome, Google Play, the Camera app, the phone app, etc?

No just your apps and your app data and system data

Thanks a lot for the quick answers. :good:
I'll wipe the phone and get back here later to report if everything went well.
Cheers,

Updating, in case somebody goes through the same problem: the factory reset was extremely fast and solved everything. Funny thing is, when I got home and checked the phone, the angry little box wasn't showing anymore. Don't know what happened, but did the reset anyway to be sure.
Thanks again to rootSu and simms22. :good:

Just go settings /apps /all and clear data in contacts and contact storage

Unlocking Google Backups without Password/Pattern/PIN?

Let me tell you a story (you can skip if you want to):
Once upon a time I ****ed up the back layer of the touch screen during repair and desperately tried to use my phone with my PC, found some tools online that let me simulate my phone's screen via ADB. Didn't got that working, ADB was unable to recognize my phone. Ok. Then i taped together the touchscreen (one of the absurdest things i ever did), reconnected it to the phone and guess what. It worked. I booted into recovery mode first and it worked flawlessly. No issues whatsoever. "Wonderful" i thought to myself, booting into system mode eagerly. The boot animation went by without any crashes, graphical issues or anything one could think off, and i even was able to enter my pin. When i did that i was full of enthuisasm. But that didn't last long. The SystemUI began to crash constantly, the lockscreen hasn't even finished building and it crashed again. I was absolutely unable to use the device and utterly devasted. Then i absolutely knew: i. ****ed. up.
But that didn't keep my from trying things out and eventually i was able to get past the lockscreen (without a SIM card so no PIN required) without any crashes and back up at least Whatsapp and a few other apps. But then i made the mistake of turning the screen off which set me back to square one: constant SystemUI crashes. I tried again and again and again and finally, after hours of work i got in a second time. This time, i thought to myself, i gonna make things differently. I backed up everything with Titanium, thought of myself to be safe. Which i technically was, i got backups of everything now. Then i decided to re-flash the rom without a factory reset which didn't do anything. Luckily there is an unofficial build of the ROM i'm using (Resurrection Remix) and i clean flashed it. It worked. Flawlessly. I was thrilled. The phone i was ready to toss into the trash finally worked again. I set everything up, thought myself to be safe but boy was i wrong. Google made regular (i think daily) backups of my apps and contacts and all so i wanted to restore that first. But it required a Pattern which i don't have because i always had a 5x5 pattern and it gave me a 3x3 pattern. I didn't know what to do with it!
I continued setting up my phone after failing to restore that backup and then instantly continued to restore the backup i made with Titanium, It installed all the missing apps, apparently restored the data. Nice. But there are a few apps that don't like that restored data so they just didn't use it and started from scratch again (like SwiftKey). Also, some of my contacts are missing and i'm lowkey too lazy to like the existing ones to Whatsapp again.
Tl;dr: ****ed up phone, got it working again, some apps didn't accept the Titanium backup and now i want to restore the Google backup which requires a 3x3 pattern which i don't have because i always used a 5x5 pattern.
Well, the question is simply: Is there a way to unlock the Google Drive backup without that pattern or do i need to try my luck again accessing the old Data (made a TWRP backup before flashing the new ROM)? If i do need to try again, how do i disable the lock on my backups? Do i only need to change my pattern to a 3x3 one?
