My Google Calendar on my phone has been randomly crashing pretty much since I got my Note 2 last January. I've been searching for answers, most of which seem to suggest either A: the coders for Android are idiots who can't manage to make things work on their end, or B: Samsung's coders are the idiots. I've tried factory resetting, installing both Google and S Planner, uninstalling S Planner, uninstalling Google, wiping the database, completely deleting my calender and starting fresh, separating events into their own calendars, setting the timezones for all events instead of letting it happen automatically, force stopping the update, clearing the cache, clearing the data....nothing, NOTHING has fixed it.
Then I saw a suggestion that UCCW was crashing them: I uninstalled it, and thought I was in the clear. Nope: it crashed today. From my logcat, I can see:
E:/CursorWindow(10169): Could not allocate CursorWindow '/data/user/0/com.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db' of size 2097152 due to error -12.

I'm currently on Beans 22. Has anyone else seen anything like this, or has a suggestion?

Seems this is a common error among android users.
Galaxy S2 4G on Bell

For the last 2 days I have read and researched typical problems related to this error message;
"Sorry the application Message (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try agaain. Force Close"
I have tried any solution I've found, but am still unable to resolve the issue.
I can only attribute the problem to deleting a few bloatapps, namely Social Hub... as it seems everything went sideways after uninstalling.
Anyway, I have been thinking if I could reinstall Social Hub maybe that would work?
Other then that, I'm open to just about anything. I don't use apps much at all, I want minimal bloatcrap... but have performed a few hard resets in order to return to stock (minus Social Hub however!) only to create a folder to move all the Dross apps, as opposed to uninstalling anymore.
Well long winded, sorry, I have searched quite a bit, and tried many of the solutions provided... if anyone has any ideas, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks
So after starting fresh I was registering a hotmail account and have received another message;
"Sorry the application Email (process com.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close"
This happened when I clicked on the "Email" app... I can't even open it, one click... few seconds later error message appears.
I know there are the "walk-thru's" of the hard reset, and resorting back to default... but can anyone explain how to get EVERYTHING back? The apps I uninstalled, are gone... how do I get them back?
Look through a ROM thread or two, they usually have separate downloads for the Samsung apps that they removed from the ROM for those who wish to retain Social Hub, et al. Get yourself up and running and selectively freeze items rather than delete them until you figure out exactly what you need/want.
thanks for the idea, I have actually gone a route along those lines.
I found this thread (androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/419294-android-2-3-5-gingerbread-xxki3-update-samsung-galaxy-s2.html) on another board, it updates the phone to Android 2.3.5.
It has resolved all my issues (well so far) and to be honest things seems to look/work a little cleaner.
I'll keep your idea about "freezing" in mind now though as I don't think I will be uninstalling anything for a while. All extra apps are dropped into a Folder to keep them out of sight.
thanks
I have this issue. If those app are greenified, they crash when i open.

Two apps I regularly Greenify on a half dozen different devices running rooted ROMs representing Android 5.1-7.1. No issues to date. Obviously there is a common thread that most Greenify users don't encounter.
Same issue on randomly changing apps any solutions?
I have a mate 10. Periodically since purchase random apps will crash as soon as they are opened rendering them unusable. So far it's happened to google maps, messages, dialler, drupe, calendar and currently google wifi. I'm using an unmodified, standard rom. I've updated, cleared cache, uninstalled apps, soft reset and factory reset with no resolution. As randomly as they start to crash, they stop, could be a day or a month. I see others complaining of similar issues. Has anyone come across a cause or a fix?

This concern is best addressed in your device forum (unrelated to Greenify).

Some very weird things started happening on my phone earlier today. It's a Nexus 5X, running 8.0 Oreo, with the October security patch. I'm not rooted and I'm careful about what I install. The phone is fairly new, from this summer.
I will begin with describing what I did in the hours before this started. I can think of two things that possibly could have started it:
1) Two of my Facebook contacts sent malicious links to me an hour before. It looked like Youtube videos but was not. I did NOT open any of these links, knowing directly they were harmful (not sure if you can be affected by just receiving them, not clicking on them?). I received them in the Messenger Lite application (an official app from Facebook with scaled-down functionality).
2) A few hours before the Facebook links, I sideloaded an APK containing the new Pixel Launcher. I got the APK from Android Police/APK Mirror.
Can't attach links, but Google for: Hands-on with the updated Pixel Launcher, including the new Pixel 2 features [APK Download]
The APK was working fine and nothing seemed odd with it (I used the launcher for a few hours). As long as Android Police know what they uploaded, this shouldn't be the cause for my problems. I bet on Facebook Messenger instead. (People that click such malware links typically get their Facebook accounts hacked, however my account seems fine and my account didn't spam others with the same link. I did not change password or did anything else to "recover" my account yet).
So what happened after this on my phone?
Here is the first thing I noticed. I open Play Store to install updates. It turns out I have one update pending, it's called BankID. This is a major Swedish app used by nearly every smartphone user in the country, and it's for signing into government websites, bank websites, insurance company websites, and much more. When I click update in Play Store two things happen almost instantly:
1) Six pictures are downloaded from Messenger Lite to my phone. That makes no sense, how could clicking a button in Google Play trigger something to happen in Messenger Lite? In fact I tried it three times, with the same behavior every time. (Well, actually opening the Messenger Lite photo album, there are only photos there I already downloaded, so nothing new seems to be added there - but the photos were probably re-downloaded I believe).
2) The BankID update downloads to 100 % (the downloading takes a little longer than expected), then it halts and does nothing, i.e. it's not installing. No error message, it just stops there. I can choose to abort and try again, which I do three times or more, with exactly the same behavior.
Also, I now notice Play Protect hasn't run for two days, but when I try to run it, it seems to be down. After ~30 seconds of scanning it says "App verification temporarily down". "App verification temporarily down" could very well be connected with the halted update I just described? It still says it hasn't run for two days after this.
When I experiment, I notice other things that are very weird indeed.
1) Notifications in Gmail, Snapchat and possibly other apps aren't coming through. By opening the apps, I can sync manually.
2) When I move a file to a new folder using the Downloads app (Files app, stock one) I get a error message saying the move operation failed. This also triggered the photo notifications from Messenger Lite (same behavior as described above, with six photos). However, after a while the moved pictures are indeed in the right folder, even though the error message saying otherwise.
3) After some time I remove "app data" for the Google Play app. When I open it after that, there are now three app updates pending (e.g. Google Wifi also). But the same behavior occurs, when I try to download one or all of them, I get the Messenger photo notifications and the updates halt at 100 % without installing. So the BankID app - which could be targeted by attackers for obvious reasons - could just be a coincidence. It could have happened with any app I suppose, this was the only one pending right then. But still, why couldn't Play Store detect other pending app updates until I refreshed it the way I did? Was Play Store blocked from connecting to Google (or forced to connect to some other server, perhaps?).
What did I do after all of this?
I uninstalled three apps:
-Facebook Lite
-Facebook Messenger Lite
-Pixel Launcher APK
However the uninstall process was very odd. A process called "Package Installer" had a notification saying "Uninstalling Lite" and "Uninstalling Messenger Lite". It didn't seem to be working, it was stuck after some time. I restarted my phone and the apps seem to be gone now, at least they aren't listed in Settings --> Apps. So the uninstall process was successful I suppose, even though it didn't seem to work.
After I restarted my phone I also noticed:
-When I install Messenger Lite from Play Store now, it's easy to uninstall it the way it should be - in mere seconds.
-When I open Play Store, updates are now installing fine. Play Protect is also scanning fine now.
Everything looks back to normal now. But I'm not trusting my device. I'm gonna factory reset it. Before I do, I wonder:
-Can I feel safe the wipe would erase whatever malware I might have had on the phone?
-Is there something I could do to let us know what caused this? Upload a log here somehow?
The only piece of advice I have received as of now is: "Try restarting in safe mode, installing some AV software, and generally looking for suspicious processes." I haven't done that yet, would it still be a good thing to do? Must I install AV software before rebooting into safe mode, or could I install it directly from safe mode? (App suggestions, AV software?).
Usually I'm very careful and security-minded. I haven't had something like this happen before. So I'm very intrigued and mad about this. I'm gonna change my Google account and Facebook account passwords later on I think (I already have 2-factor authentication enabled).
One last thing: When I install Pixel Launcher on my non-rooted phone, it's not running as a system app if my understanding is correct. (At least it shouldn't be). But none the less, when I wanted to uninstall it I had to go into Settings --> Apps and tap "Show system apps" to find it in the list. Is that normal? Perhaps it doesn't mean anything, I just want to know.
Thanks for your advice in advance. Anything else to add? What should I do know? All you might have to say is appreciated.
Come on now guys, someone must be able to help?
If I factory reset the device, will it be clean? I didn't mess with custom ROMs, root, the bootloader or something else. (I suppose the bootloader is locked).
Hey there,
I have a relatively recent Android 8 install (Superman ROM on an S7 Edge), rooted, and various apps no longer sync, including Firefox, and DAVDroid, but probably also others.
There have been times when initiating a manual sync within Firefox would actually make it work again (including DAVDroid, which uses the Android sync framework, as well), but that doesn't work anymore. The few times it did, I'd actually see a toast "Auto-sync timers have started", which Taskwarrior emitted upon reception of a broadcast intent probably related to system boot (see here: https://github.com/Doctor-Andonuts/...rc/main/java/kvj/taskw/data/BootReceiver.java).
Rebooting doesn't fix things, and neither does wiping Dalvik & cache.
I am really at a loss here and thinking that something is not starting up the service or threads or whatever it is that controls the Android sync framework. Auto-sync is obviously enabled, and dis- and re-enabling doesn't fix the issue either. Firefox and DAVDroid are set up to sync, and everything else appears normal.
So what is missing for the sync framework to start? What could be preventing it from starting, or killing it?
Thanks for any help!
I'm on Android 8 (SuperMan-ROM), and I used TitantiumBackup to freeze all apps I don't need/use, especially all the Google and Samsung tracking stuff. This has worked well for me for years.
But then I ran into a problem wherein the sync framework wouldn't work anymore. I may have finally resolved this by unfreezing all apps, rebooting, wiping Dalvik and caches, and then refreezing the apps. Now sync works again, even across reboots. Previous attempts at wiping Dalvik&caches to fix this (without unfreezing) did not yield the desired result.
In order for me to understand what's going on, I need to understand what the sync framework is, and what provides it. I mean, I am certainly not freezing what seems like core Android services, but maybe the sync framework is included in some other service that just doesn't have a name indicating that?
Do you have an idea which app/service actually provides the functionality behind the Android sync service?
