Gtab- Stock 3358.
Previously I had Stock 3358 and rothnics enhancement pack. I installed an app from the market. As soon as I started the app the gtab screen went blank. Then the TapnTap logo as if it was rebooting then within 2 sec I was back at the home screen. If it rebooted it was a heck of a fast reboot.
then I started getting the error. Everything except stock email and settings work. But the error message pops up every few seconds. I can't go to settings and wipe. So I attempted to install stock 3358. it went fine but problem persist. Still can;t go to settings to check version or do a afactory reset.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I had same problem and after debating the right courses to take, I nvflash'ed the device and started over again.
Still would like to understand that caused that error ?
This usually occurs as the result of contacts in your contact folder with blanks in the name fields. Delete any entries with blanks and you should be good to go.
PS. You will get faster resolution if you search before posting as this has been asked and answered several times in past week.
I have same problem...."The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I went into my google account, deleted or put names in contacts that didnt have names, rebooted and still having problem. I tried going into the data/data file, but there was no data file to delete as indicated on other threads. There is not an easy to find thread for this problem. Please help or at least direct me.
Thanks!!!
I never had any contacts saved. Regardless I cannot even open the contacts folder to add/delete anything.
I am having problems with, email, contacts, settings. as soon as I attempt to open any of the above it gives the FC message and takes it back to home.
On the other hand I called Gtab support. As soon as I told the probelm the lady asked me if I could go to settings. Once I told her no I cannot she said you have to send the unit back for repair. She said that she helped another individual yesterday with exact same issue.
On aside note I was able to delete most of my apps using ES file explorer.
@Bekit @rothnic or other senior members is there any solution beside nvflash. I am a newbie.
thanks.
I had the same problem in February and fixed it by searching this forum and finding pieces to put together a solution. The rest of this message is what I posted back on 2/24/11. I think the important part is to repartition your SD card and clear all user data. I have had no problems since I did this fix.
Good luck.
I have had my GTablet since early December and have been running the Stock Enhancement since early January. I have had no problems except for a very occasional unexpected stop. It was never a real problem.
Yesterday I started getting the android.process.acore error literally anytime I tried to use any application. To my knowledge, I had not installed anything recently that would account for this.
The good news is that I followed multiple threads here and came up with what seemed to be a reasonable solution.
I installed Clockwork and reset the partition to 2048/0 as suggested by several posts. I also cleared everything that I could clear using their menu.
Then I installed NVFlash which I believe put me back to the plain vanilla factory OS. (I also think this wiped out Clockwork Mod but I'm not positive.)
I got the "update available" message and did the OTA update of the OS.
Then I installed the TnT Stock Enhancement update and applied the Market Fix.
Everything seems back to normal now.
I want to thank all of the forum members who posted the various instructions that allowed me to piece together this solution.
I realize that not everyone has the same issues when problems occur so there isn't one single fix that is right for everyone. I didn't really understand that until I had this problem. I feel lucky that I've had relatively no problems.
I have to admit that I'm looking carefully at the Motorola Xoom because I suspect it has a much more stable hardware/software infrastructure but I would rethink that if the Viewsonic folks would be more forthcoming about their plans to support upgrades for the GTab. I can live without 3G if I have stability.
Thanks again to all of you experts out there in xda-developers forumland.
Stuck SD card
I am having the same problem and tried to do the restore from the SD card and now the card is in the slot and I cant access the settings to eject it. to run the clockwork mod is there any way to force it to boot the clockwork mod?
For me, Clockworkmod "wipe data/factory reset" eliminated the pesky force close message about android.process.acore that several of us seem to have. NVflashing & Contacts data field corrections did not work for me. The problems seemed to come up after downloading an app from market.
Running VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement, and happy!
got this last night/this morning as well. from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
after wiping the data, everything has appeared normal.
hope that helps.
I called CS yesterday. They help me delete most of the apps that I downloaded to see if that will fix the issue. That also helped in eliminating any personal data left behind in case I have to RMA the unit.
that makes my tablet completely stock. I don't have market any more. So can't get clockwork rom manager etc. Bigger probelm is the onscreen keyboard doesn't work either gives the error message.
I did some reading on how to NV Flash the device. Still trying to understand the process.
I have two options
1. NV flash the device and hope that everything still works.
2. I bought sears insruance. Just return the device and then be done with it.
Any help is much appreciated.
My experience level is limted to flashing stock and enhancement packs using the Power and + buttons.
You don't want to use the clockwork in Rom Manager. It doesn't work for the G Tablet.
Here are a couple other options off the top of my head...
1) cwmod for install from Micro SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
2) Try calkulin's format all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705

same thing with me. I downloaded a few apps and then I got it. Did the data wipe thing. Came back in and I am still getting the error. Not happening every 5 seconds, but still getting it.
okay, this is strange. I did the data wipe and I was still getting this error. After doing the market fix and got all my downloads available, I noticed that I am only getting this error when I hit the HOME button.
I hit the Home button and the error comes up, then the Android Market comes up. This only happens now when I hit the Home button. Error, Market comes up and I have to hit the Home button again to get home.
HELP!
only the home button
confirmed. Working on this the last 30 minutes, I am only getting this error when hitting the home button.
@ K J Rad
I downloaded caulkins format all zip. Now this may sound a silly question. Do I flash it like changing its name to update.zip and include the recovery file?
2nd question is if I am able to flash it successfully can I install the stock rom?

Just wanted to say this single step worked for me as well.
Ok. Finally got rid of the problem.
First I attemted NVFlash. After some intial strugle setting up the drivers etc on windows got it to work. Everything worked but still had the exact same process.
B/w I noticed superuser still there. I thought NV Flash will bring it to out of box. Used Bekits image.
After some more reading took the plunge and did CWM internal. Dide wipe data. Rebooted and got it working again.
Again pardon my ignorance but do I have to manually update to 3358. And if I do it go stock would it get rid of CWM. How do i get it off the machine?
I would like to prepare for the OTA.
Please advise.
B/w it was fun going through the process.

Glad you got it working. Installing the stock 3588 update will replace the bootloader and removes CWM. That should leave you as close to real stock as you can get.
Oh, and welcome aboard ;-)

Thank you very much, that was an incredibly painless fix. Worked on TnT-Enhanced v3.1.4b
Just purchased a Nook from B&N, unit shows version 1.40, tried following rooting instructiins and unit does not recognize apks. Tried loading update from other thread. Still no success.
Has anyone else experienced new units blocking sideloading that are not 1.41?
I was worried about something like this happening so I've decided to get it from Best Buy instead assuming that newest units would hit B&N and may even be updated to 1.40. I'm just hoping that it will be old stock after christmas since I've been given the choice of B&N gift cards or Best Buy ones.
You have to enabled unknown sources with the tps launcher.
Sorry, I wasn't clear earlier. I was trying to type on the Nook and was frustrated.
OK, So followed the link to install the apk. The Nook comes up with a menu about installing using the Application Installer or Package Installer. Selecting the Application Installer comes up with an Error about not being a recognized file type. Selecting the Package Installer comes up with an error about there being an problem with a package. Neither case comes up with the option to install unrecognized files. (I can't get the exact messages because I don't have it handy right this moment.)
I thought that perhaps they had the updated software just tagged as 1.40, so I downloaded the acclaim_update.zip and placed it on the sd card. Restarted the Nook and it came up showing that it was installing the update. But after the install it restarts and still has my details, thus it did not appear to do the update as expected.
I went through the process several times and experienced the same results.

Pretty sure succulent nailed this one. Don't forget to thank him.
Need to open the .apk from the notification bar from the bottom of the screen to get it to ask you to go the settings to enable option.
also i believe you have to use package installer, instead of just app installer.

If you miss it once, it seems to be gone forever. Very strange, had the same experience and wasted a few hours.
Do this:
1. Wipe the device and start fresh to get the one time setting back.
a) hit the N button and go to "Settings"
b) select "Device Info"
c) select "Erase & Deregister Device"
This will guide you through wiping the entire device.
Once complete, restart, and it will be like it is out of the box again, fully wiped.
2. Complete the initial setup and when you get to the home screen again, go straight to the browser, then get on over to the thread to download the tgps app again.
a) suggest going to google.com and searching "xda forum nook table root"
b) select the "[Blocks OTA's!] Full root for Nook Tablet. [11/20/11] [Permanent root!]" thread from the search results
c) scroll down and select the tgps app to download.
d) go to the notification window and click on tgps_launcher.apk download complete.
e) from the pop up, select "Package Installer" from the two options. The next screen should have the "Settings" button there that was missing before when it errors out.
Note: writing this all up from memory, so pay close attention to all steps after you click the notification window to use Package Installer. That setting will pop up, and if you miss it, it tends to not pop up again until you clean wipe (in my case).
Hope that helped!

I thought the trick was that you had to sideload using the nook browser? Download the tps launcher apk thru the nook browser then try installing it.
yes, if you use the wrong app installer the first time it is gone forever, use power and N factory restore to restore back to factory and then try sideloading again with the right apk installer the first time.
You don´t have to factory restore your device!!!
Just download the .apk again and open it with "package installer" the first time!
This error occurs only if you try to open it with the app installer first.
Download unsuccessful
I am in pretty much the same situation. When I try to download the apk from http://comptonsoft.com/test/ the download starts but when I click the notification it says "Download unsuccessful". If I tap that, it takes me to the downloads page which is blank. What should I do next?
just purchased a nook tablet for my dad today. will test this out in a couple of days when he roots it. let see if it is 1.4.1 or 1.4.0 and if anything is blocked.
THIS IS FOR 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 ONLY - Please don't quote the first post.
As of October 31 2013, the Nook Color with Froyo is dead in the water, as far as the Google Play store is concerned. Google updated to Google Play Services 4.0, and with it killed off the API support for Android 2.2 Froyo. That means that almost all apps being produced or updated since then will not support Froyo. If you look up Angry Birds on the Play Store website, you will see that the minimum system requirements are Android 2.3 and up.
What it does:
Permanently Enable ADB via uRamdisk
Installs adbWireless
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs Busybox
Installs Softkeys
Installs Zeam Launcher
Installs B&N HomeLauncher
Installs HomeCatcher
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)
Installs Live Wallpapers
Installs Custom Boot Animation

Introduced versions that disable B&N updates, by utilizing the SQLite method
Introduced incremental updates, so that you can flash only the changes that were made in the upgrade
manualnooter-5.08.20.incremental.zip - This will make the changes from manualnooter-5.02.19 to manualnooter-5.08.20. It doesn't block B&N updates.
manualnooter-5.08.20.incremental_block_updates.zip - This will make the changes from manualnooter-5.02-19 to manualnooter-5.08.20. It will Block B&N updates

Before you begin:
You must do a complete wipe before installing this package.
If you want to update to 1.4.3 - Instructions HERE
You must already have a registered Nook Color
YOU MUST DOWNLOAD ALL YOUR B&N CONTENT BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, OR YOU RUN THE RISK OF LOSING ALL ACCESS TO B&N CONTENT
You must have a Google Account, for Gmail, Market, Etc. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration use that one for this process.
You must have a bootable ClockWorkMod version 3.2.0.1 SD card: HERE - Use Win32DiskImager to flash this image to your SD card LINK
OR emmc CWM Recovery Installed
You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
If you don't have enough posts to post in the development section, please go post in the Q&A section, and post with "MN5" in the heading. I don't read every post on this board, so I can get to you a little easier if you follow these guidelines.
Let's get started:
If you're running a previous MN 5, you do not need to do a complete wipe.
Download one of the Following ManualNooter 5 files based on your needs:
manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.zip - It doesn't include apps2sd support, and doesn't block B&N updates. Doesn't replace any system files
manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.block_updates.zip - It doesn't include apps2sd support, but has B&N updates blocked. Doesn't replace any system files
manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.zip - Includes apps2sd support, but doesn't block B&N updates. It will replace a system file, making it firmware version specific
manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip - Includes apps2sd support, and has B&N updates blocked. It will replace a system file, making it firmware version specific.
If you will be flashing with apps2sd support, you will also need to download one of the following kernel images to fully utilize apps2sd support.
Dalingrin OC kernel - Dalingrin 090111 OC kernel
OR Stock kernel - Stock. kernel with apps2sd support
Copy above file(s) onto your bootable CWM SD card using Windows Explorer, OS X Finder, etc.
DO NOT extract the zip file. It MUST be left as-is
DO NOT copy the zip file into a folder. Leave it at the top directory of your card.
Unplug your Nook Color from computer. (If plugged in)
Turn off your Nook Color. (If turned on)
Insert bootable CWM SD card with ManualNooter into your Nook Color.
Turn on your Nook Color
If using bootable CWM SD card this should boot you directly into recovery
If using emmc CWM Recovery instead of SD card CWM Recovery, boot to recovery.
When CWM boots select:
install zip from sdcard (Volume down 4 times, then n)
choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)
manualnooter-5.xx.xx.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)
Confirm that you really want to run the update
Selecting this indicates that you take responsibility for your own actions.
Wait patiently and follow onscreen directions
If you flashed apps2sd file, now would be the time to flash the kernel for full support.
Remove bootable CWM card from Nook Color and select reboot
If you get "Install Failed" after rebooting out of CWM this can be normal. Just reboot again.
After reboot and unlocking your device select Zeam Launcher.
Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service/Sign In.
Exit out of the market, wait a couple minutes for Gapps to sync everything up, and market to update
When the market icon has changes, open it again to accept terms of conditions again for the updated market.
You may not have to Accept Terms and Service or Sign In if you're updating from a previous MN version.
If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted.
Enable Non-Market Installs by running the Nook Color Tools App.
Uncheck the top box, then recheck the box again
(OPTIONAL) To restore the SD card to a "usable" state
Insert bootable CWM card into Nook Color
Go to Settings > Device Info > SD card > UnMount > Format
This will wipe your SD card of all MN/CWM bootable abilities. If you use this you will have to reflash the SD card for future MN releases if you don't flash CWM to your emmc.
If you are upgrading from manualnooter-5.01.21, or earlier:
You need to perform the market limited visibility steps found below
If the market dies on you after performing those steps:
Go into manage applications
Select Market
Uninstall updates
Open market and accept user agreement
Exit market to let it update itself
Open market and accept user agreement

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can i update Adobe Flash and Air -
Yes, the Adobe boot loop fix is applied with MN 5
Does this block OTA updates -
Starting with ManualNooter-5.08.20 you now have the option to flash a package that will block B&N updates by using the SQLite method
update_disable.zip - You can also download, and flash this using CWM at any time to block B&N updates.
update_enable.zip - If you need to unblock B&N updates at any time, you can flash this file using CWM to restore the update function.
Can I change the stock keyboard -
Yes, some of the best known keyboard apps have all been tested to work. Just follow these directions to install the keyboard.
If you don't have the paid app "Root Explorer," you can download the free app "ES File Explorer." Once you open "ES File Explorer," you will need to go into settings to set root access, mount file system, and change the home directory to "/"
Download/Install the keyboard that you want to use from the market or Amazon Appstore
Open your explorer app, and navigate to /data/app
Locate the apk file for the keyboard that you just installed
Examples: com.touchtype.swiftkey-1.apk or com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
Long press on the apk file, and select "Move" or "Cut"
Navigate to /system/app
If using Root Explorer, select "Mount R/W"
Now select paste to move the apk file into the /system/app folder
Exit your explorer app, and reboot the device
After the device reboots, open the app "NookColor Tools"
Select "Choose Keyboard" and select the keyboard that you just installed
If installing Swiftkey or Swype, you can now open the app to finish the install process
I did this mod from a request in another thread, LINK. It is a port of “revcompgeek’s” work under the Nook tablet section, HERE. The mod removes the QuickNav bar when you presss the n button, making it like a standard home button, and makes the back and menu buttons permanent.
I did not include it in the MN package because I am not sure how many people would want it, and it has not been tested long enough. Just simply flash the Statusbar_mod.zip file with CWM, it will take about 5 minutes to boot back up after flashing since it is a framework file. You will need to use the app “AnyCut” or “BetterCut” to create a link to the “Shop” and “Library.” If you don’t like it, simply flash the Statusbar_stock.zip file to return to stock. If you flash a new version of MN 5 after applying the Statusbar_mod.zip, you will need to reapply the Statusbar_mod.zip file again to regain it.
*UPDATE*
I noticed that "AnyCut" is currently missing from the market, and since the app was free in the market, I have attached it below.
Great!
Are there any of the limitations I've read about (read-to-me, free in-store reading) with regards to rooting 1.4.1, or are those now worked around?

Around 4,000 people have kindly tested different versions over the last two months, and everything should be working properly. The key step to follow in the directions, is step 4 under “Before you begin,” You must download all your B&N content before you continue, or you run the risk of losing all access to B&N content.
I don’t remember there ever being an issue with read-to-me, I remember there being touchscreen issues with kids books in the early versions of MN 4. A handful of people did test the in-store reading function, and reported that it worked fine.
Absolutly amazing! Thank you!

I tested read to me this morning using Tales of Peter Rabbit. It worked just fine.
success!
This is how I got 1.4.1 going from BN1.3 with MN:
I am running BN1.3 with MN4.6.16. I have CWM 3.0.2.8 on a bootable sd and have made a backup.
Instead of restoring to stock and then upgrading to 1.4.1, I I used the 1.4.1 image from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21203895&postcount=129 and then apply MN5.02.12
Before install 1.4.1, I wipe/data and /cache then install 1.4.1.
Did another wipe/data.
Since I have an old NC with the 5gb partition, I can continue to use CWM 3.0.2.8.
After rooting BN1.4.1, if I am unhappy, I can just restore my old BN1.3 backup.

Around 4,000 people have kindly tested different versions over the last two months, and everything should be working properly. The key step to follow in the directions, is step 4 under “Before you begin,” You must download all your B&N content before you continue, or you run the risk of losing all access to B&N content.
I don’t remember there ever being an issue with read-to-me, I remember there being touchscreen issues with kids books in the early versions of MN 4. A handful of people did test the in-store reading function, and reported that it worked fine.

I had been following the thread about the 1.3 firmware, and I saw the pre-releases for the 1.4.1 firmware had some issues. I'm thrilled this will work--maybe my wife will let me "borrow" her nook now

So let see if I have this correct:
I am running BN1.3 with MN4.6.16. I have CWM 3.0.2.8 on a bootable sd and have made a backup.
Instead of restoring to stock and then upgrading to 1.4.1, I want to use the 1.4.1 image from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21203895&postcount=129 and then apply MN5.02.12
Since I have an old NC with the 16gb partition, I assume that I can continue to use CWM 3.0.2.8.
After rooting BN1.4.1, if I am unhappy, I can just restore my old BN1.3 backup. Do I have everything correct?

Works like a charm!! Thanks very much! Question for you guys: In your opinion what is the best way to block OTA updates?

I'm not a guy, but here's what I used. I should add, I used it to stay on 1.3. It tells whoever is looking that you're on 1.4.1. I guess it'll have to be updated if B & N comes out with another update.
Market Not Loading
Everything went perfectly with the MN'ing, but when I try to go to Market, Gmail, Talk, etc, the NC tries to open Market or Google service but then immediately closes. Many attempts yield same results. Any ideas are welcomed.

To block OTA updates, I used SQLite Editor with the instructions below from "Mark"
I can't find this post anywhere and have no idea where I got it, if you are Mark..THANK YOU! and post a link to the original so we can find you! <G>
Worked perfectly for me. I've attached the text file so you can save it instead of trying to read the forum, it takes a bit but not as much time as you'd think.
The $3 is well worth it!
:::This is a one-time thing, and doesn't require revising it as new updates come out, as some other methods do (e.g., pushing modified build.props files down). Those are completely free, but a fair bit more complicated, and have to be redone every time a new update is released by B&N.
1) Go to Extras, open the Android Market, tap on the magnifying glass, and search for SQLite Editor. It will cost you <$3.
You don't need the companion product, Root Explorer, at all, that others have mentioned, so you can save some $$$ if you want (4 bucks, I think). It's actually quicker not to even use Root Explorer.
2) Buy and install SQLite. If you're running auto-nootered, you'll need to shut your Nook off and restart it afterwards. That's because the Extras screen info is cached, and not updated dynamically, so you'll never see any newly loaded Apps until you reboot.
3) After powering back up, go to Extras and click on SQLite. It will scan your entire Nook and find every SQL database file there. Even the hidden ones. It only takes ~10 seconds.
4) Scroll down to DeviceManagerService, and tap on it. Then tap on devicemanager.db.
5) Tap on the "registry" entry. It's easier now if you rotate to landscape, so you can see more of the fields in each entry.
6) All the entries in this table start with "com.bn.device....". Look for the one that's labeled '...fota.mode" at the end.
7) In the far right Value column, you'll see "Auto". Tap on that to select it. Then go down to the Status Bar at the bottom, and tap the Menu button (3 horizontal lines), and pick Edit Field.
8) You'll then see a black screen with one entry, the field editing form. You should see the field name of "value" there, and its contents will be "auto". If it turned out that your selection picked some other field (they are pretty small!), don't panic! :smileywink: Just go back and retry until you get the right one.
9) Tap on "auto" and the keyboard will come up. Backspace to delete the current contents, and enter "manual" in its place. Then tap Done. Then tap Save. Until you tap Save, you've changed nothing, so poking about is fairly safe. You may see a message about granting super-user permissions, which is normal.
10) You can now exit out of SQLite if you like (it's not necessary), but you're not quite done yet, so don't enable WiFi immediately. To make sure that the system is using the settings you just modified, you need to force it to reload and "see" them. So just power you Nook off and back on. After it reboots, it will use your new settings from then on. That's it.
Walla! You're all set. Auto-updates will no longer be pushed down to your Nook. However, updates you manually sideload wll still work. If you decide at some point you'd like auto-updating to work again, just go back in and re-enable it by changing "manual" to "auto".
~~
While the length and detail of the instructions above may make this look like it's more complicated than it really is, I'd rather err of the side of accuracy than leave something "obvious" out. It really doesn't take more than 2 minutes to do, and most could probably figure it out on their own, if they really needed to. The one thing they might overlook is the need to reboot afterwards, which isn't necessarily obvious.

I flashed CWM to internal memory once I had everything to my liking.
From past experience this will block the OTA update.
It is a minor issue to flash back to stock in order to upgrade the next time B&N does an update.
This may not be the right way, but it is easy, a lot easier than other methods IMHO.
i upgraded to 1.4.1 but after i run manualnooter 5.02.12 i am just stuck at read forever screen on reboot.
Watching ABC.com show problems
Running BN1.4.1 with MN5 latest. The show NCIS comes through fine. But the ABC shows (eg Castle) causes the browser Dolphin HD to FC.
Any idea what is causing it?
S-on and rooted.
Noticed this with Aurora about a week ago. Thought it was just a problem with that app. Now I discover the same problem trying to update VLC.
"Unknown sources" box IS checked.
Any ideas?

Sure.
I was trying to update from an apk that I had downloaded to the phone. (Same behavior for apks for two different apps, Aurora and VLC.)
The install process starts, but can't get past the "Cancel / Install" dialog screen unless I select Cancel. When I try to select Install, it behaves as if the button is not recognized.

Yeah, that sounds like an overlay issue. Do you have HALO or a screen filter running on your phone? Or anything that draws on top of everything else? If so, try disabling it, then installing the apk. If that works, you can enable whatever it was again without any issues (until you need to install another apk from sd).

I uninstalled a bunch of apps. I tried after a handful at a time and finally had eliminated the culprit. Thanks.
I'm not sure which app is the culprit, but I'll try to sort that out.
Thanks for the feedback.

Enable Facebook Contacts Sync
Code name: Project FaceSmash
If you vote, please also post what Device and ROM you have, and which of my installers you used.
Voting "No" and not posting your device, ROM and file used... is insulting everyone else. Not posting the log, is insulting me.
5 votes, 0 error reports, 2 bug mentions
How to use:
Download
Put on SD-Card or internal memory.
Reboot into Recovery
Run installer file - It will prompt you to reboot when done.
What will this do?
This is a quite simple modification, I have edited the ContactsProviders for several CM version to enable the sync of Facebook Contacts.
My Multi-Installer will backup your existing ContactsProvider, and then replace it with one of my moded copies.
It then edits the contacts database to add the required column "is_restricted" which is what Facebook looks for.
These updates will also remain through minor updates. (So if you update to a new nightly of the same version, it will preserve itself)
The Mulit-Installer will then purge the dalvik-cache for the ContactsProvider and all Data for Facebook forcing you to log back in. (Sorry, but this is necessary to load facebook data into contacts)
Multi-Installer v1.1.4
Should the installer fail to run and/or the Phone/Contacts fail to load after reboot, please save the installer log and post/link here. -- This will help me to help others, and to fix whatever is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance to all those that help.
These are designed for single-boot devices, and may not work for a secondary OS.
(If you'r game enough to do dual-boot, you should be able enough to extract the file you need from the multi-installer zip.)
Comment: 11th September 2013
I would like to apologize to all those that have downloaded one of the individual pack.
Untill now they were actually broken, and a major part of the script was not getting preformed regarding the contacts database
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updates/Change log and most recent notice are on First post, Page 2.
Older version downloads are located here on First post, Page 3.
olite said:
Yep, here it is... a modified ContactsProvider.apk for CM 10.2.
I had been using the old one from CM 10 with 10.1 which worked fine, but the recent update caused the old file to stop working... after doing a rough search for a new version I soon realized that one is kinda lacking... Yep, sure there are a few guides out there that all tell you how to do step-by-step. But what about those that just aren't that cluey (like my sister hehe)... :silly:
Just download the zip file below and use your custom recovery to install.
It will update the ContactsProvider.apk with a fully modified version. (So no database "fix" needed after a data wipe)
It will also update your existing contacts database to allow sync without needing to "reset" your contacts.
Finnaly, it will also clear the ContactsProvider's dalvik-cache... so you don't need to do this either. :angel:

amazing work. It works on Avatar ROM cm 10.2.
But i have a request if you can help all of us who still using cm 10.1, and desperately need the same flashable zip for our cm 10.1 based roms without need to fix and/or delete anything just like in this file here. Could you do this for us, please? Thanks in advance

My pleasure, I understand the frustration this simple issue causes. And why oh why... is something like this always so hard to find
I just wish Facebook would update their application to conform with Google standards and this wouldn't be an issue.
Device specific strings removed, generic scripts used for mount and unmount.
Multi-Installer Should now work for all devices running CM 9, 10.1 or 10.2
-- If it fails please remember to include log files where possible.
-- Also, mention WHERE it fails... does the update fail in recovery? Does all boot fine but then when you load phone the contacts dies???
C'mon gimme something to work with! =)
Please test and report back here. Thanks in advance.
Multi-Installer - make my GS3LTE crash my contact provider
and
CM 10.1 patch is not working
anyways thanks so much for you work

A bit more detail would be very handy. -- The install log and the boot log would be prefect here.
Such as where, and when the error occurs. In recovery or when booting??
Just saying "It doesn't work" ... doesn't help after all, it could be many things.
And if you were trying the 10.1 manual patch on 10.2 it won't work at all, that's part of the reason I developed this.
The manual patch file does have a few device specific strings... it's meant for the GT-I9100.
You may need to purge your contacts for it to work 100% effectively. And it may cause far more problems than its worth.

Not working...
Unfortunately Facebook Contacts Sync is not working with my sII... I'm using a SII specific package for CM 10.1 (not this one with Aroma installer) and I can see the option to Sync inside Facebook app, I can see the FB account under Settings -> Accounts in my phone (and it says it is synced), but... nothing happens. It wont sync anything... I tried everything I remembered - cleared Contacts and Facebook cache/data from Manage Apps. Nothing. I re-logged in to facebook app - again nothing. Oh, I forgot to say that I'm using custom ROM Sentinel 4.80, which is CM 10.1. Anything else I could do?

Use the Multi-Installer, The issue with the auto-sync there is due to incorrect usage in a line of my script that's included in the individual packs.
I meant to correct that earlier, but ended up making the multi-installer instead.
Patcher
Run the patcher above, or do the steps below.
You can clear the * Contact Storage * data -- Settings -> Apps -> All -- scroll down and clear data for the Contact Storage (you don't need to do "Contacts", just the storage) once thats cleared it should rebuild correctly.

That trick worked!
But it's a new problem - maybe I'm too fickle but I really like this option. So the problem is that now My G+ profile that is shown inside notification bar and is connected with my Contacts local profile is not working anymore. What I mean is that when I tap on the thumbnail in the notification area the Contacts are opening and immediately closing. And inside Contacts there is no my profile (although I am logged in G+ app) just label that says "Set up my profile"... When I set up profile with my exact names as they are in G+, the contact is not merging with G+ profile ( eg. not showing picture, latest G+ updates, statuses etc... )
